lulz

It's pretty much true. What incentive do they have to work hard on it anymore? They've already got the money of the core audience who were interested in it.

With SA pretty stagnant are most of you guys playing Arma2 or Arma3 Epoch mod?

Yes. A few of us are playing on aPrivate Hive Napf Epoch Dayz Arma2 server. Feel free to ping me or Nemesis on steam.

overpoch has been pretty fun

Anyone got some epoch servers to suggest?

I currently play dreamfall but an admin was caught teleporting someone back to his truck after he died and didnt lose admin powers, so lookin for alternative servers

What im looking for:

- Quality AI missions, Dreamfall has 4 different AI missions with nice base layouts (its a standard mod not unique to dreamfall, i think it comes with the bike shops south)

- Day/night cycle

- Extra stuff that isnt unbalancing like take clothes

- populated

- hands off approach to admin'ing, dont want to see admin influence everywhere

Dreamfall is pretty nice but i dont know, that admin incident left a bad taste in my mouth

Arma3 Breaking Point has been more interesting than SA to me lately. Anyone else playing it?

Id play S7 with you guys but theres no nights, i find it hard to play no nights servers. Dreamfall is allrite even with what i mentioned, i got 2 safes full of guns if u guys are interested in starting there, cant be bothered to play this game solo anymore.

WTF did they do to Zombies? I logged back in after the latest patch and Zombies dont seem to want to die with melee weapons. I was fighting 2 zombies for a long ass time until i finally died. Super Zombies now.

Might have just been the server you were on or something. I haven't noticed zombies taking longer to bring down.

Looking for a new game to try out. Seen this on Steam for $30.00, may give it a try. Is this worth it or wait for H1Z1?

Yeah think I'll wait for H1Z1.
