That's great to hear. Did you find a good server out there or just jumped on a random one?

I'd love us to give this a go here too. Maybe the existing (and dead) A2 server could be used for this and then bring in all the mods from the A3 server on to it. On paper it sounds epic - we'd actually be up and running with something new that could really take off for ArmA3.

Winner, winner, new players for dinner!

That is a great ideea about A2 server Frankie :)

Atm there are about 2 PVE servers and this is our time to get everyone who likes pve
I jumped on a pve and found it fun . Car spawns nice loot around the cities , very nice UI interface .
I like that you have to find fuel canister and you get for example 45/45L fuel .

The A2 server still holds a soft spot in my heart, but no one's playing it at all :cry:
I've got to run for now but I hope to be on Mumble later and try this out somewhere too...

Sounds interesting. I must get around to looking into this more, if what you say is true.

As for modability, not sure any of the current mods would be compatible until I get a look at the structure of the Exile mod. Most of the Epoch mods rely heavily on Epoch assets, so would most likely need a lot of rewriting to work correctly. That said, if the community do 'embrace' Exile, then I'm sure we'll start to see the code junkies release some interesting stuff.

At present, Epoch is a little frustrating. Development is extremely slow, and not sure their direction is a good one. They seem to be focused more on adding or changing little bits and pieces (medicine cabinets?!!), rather than fixing it's inherent issues (FPS, database, vehicle handling, building system).

Also in relation to server providers, or A2 server (I believe) has a long time left to run on it, and it's not just a case of swapping mods. A3 needs a whole different box setup to A2, so the A2 one would have to be cancelled, and a new deal setup. Just food for thought, as it isn't totally straightforward, and let's not forget....this all comes out of Neds pocket!

True that's why I liked Frankies ideea about A2 server .

I saw that there are already missions like epoch has [blue/red/orange/green] But the problem is that AI despawn and u get only the crate [ heard they are working on it ]

I was playing today with Gellu and he doesn't have really high rig and he was reporting better FPS then Epoch

It's just that let's say we change A3 server from Epoch to Exile we would compensate those people . I just saw this oportunity for CIC becouse not many servers have PVE rules and those who do got 25+ players . It's your decision

Apologies (yet again) - I wasn't back in time to get on for a chat or try out Exile at all tonight. Fingers crossed for tomorrow...

Seen how many players we have online daily what do we have to lose changing from Epoch to Exile ?
