WASTELAND 2.0.0 ANNOUNCEMENT “The world as we have created it is a process of our thinking. It cannot be changed without changing our thinking.” ― Albert Einstein Greetings everyone, I was going to wait until the day of it's release to announce this and have it be a surprise however due to the large amount of discussion surrounding the issue (see this thread: https://strayagaming.com.au/forums/topic/14049-stratis-vs-malden/) I have decided to announce the update now, in advance of it's release and give you all a rough run down of our big news! First of all and most excitingly update 2.0.0 will mark our transition to Malden as our server's map. This has been in development for around a week now and is now complete! Long story short we have designed and built a Wasteland map for Malden which we will be deploying on our server on the map's official release date, wed/thurs next week! For your viewing pleasure some images to give you a taste of our new map This new map has been built specifically for strayagaming wasteland and as such we should be one of the first wasteland servers to be on the new map! Some Gameplay images: Other Notes, Along with the switch to Malden there will be an associated gameplay update rolled onto the same patch aimed to adjust the economy (both price changes and modifications to some mission rewards) along with a handful of bugfixes and other small additions (full patch-notes will be released when it goes live next week). Developing Malden in such a short time-span has however delayed our next larger gameplay patch slightly, however it is on it's way and should be released in around ~3-4weeks baring anything unexpected coming up. However I'm certain that until then that the new map will keep you all more than occupied What this all will entail (the cons), To avoid inconsistencies involving the coordinates of players and vehicles transfering over when we switch to the new map, as well as ensuring a more even starting field when we go live with the patch I will be wiping on hand money/gear and force saved vehicles. This means that if you wish to keep your gear you should store it, you should also bank all your on hand money and park any vehicles you wish to keep before the day the switch over is due to happen. Please note: This will not effect stored vehicles, stored items or bank money, only vehicles out on the map and on hand gear/money. Furthermore due to the experimental nature of the new map/ WL build we are unsure how well it will suit wasteland yet. As such we will trial the map for a couple of weeks to gauge it's suitability, we will then decide whether or not we will keep using Malden permanently or either switch back to Stratis, or put the maps on a rotating schedule This new map is also quite likely to have a bug or two considering how rapidly it was put together along with the fact that the Wasteland version of the map was built from the ground up, As such there may be the odd issue with the map that I was unaware of, so please bare with me, and if you encounter any bugs or map issues please let me know so I can fix them ASAP A Sidenote, As a part of improving our server and development cycle I would like to encourage the community to engage more with the process and help us understand what you feel is working and what isn't, and what your thoughts are on the direction on the server and how it could be improved! We aim to make the server as fun and fair for everyone as possible! If you have any suggestions for the server please feel welcome to post them here(and tag me): https://strayagaming.com.au/forums/forum/27-suggestions/. (Please note however that I offer no guarantees any individual suggestion will be implemented, however I can assure you that we will read any and every suggestion and give them fair consideration!) In addition I would implore everyone to assist me in becoming aware of any bugs so that I can ensure a fair playing field for all players. If you feel a bug is completely game-breaking please feel free to message myself or any other Wasteland staff member on the forums or TS with the issue so it can be addressed, if it isn't game-breaking please post it here https://strayagaming.com.au/forums/forum/28-bug-reports/ Additionally if you have any thoughts on this post or the 2.0.0 update I will leave this thread unlocked for discussion. (I have also added a poll to this post Re: interest in a preview of the map) Regards, James32, Wasteland Developer/Admin @Unit_3397 @Ya Mum @Dak Commstar @Lazy @ALI @Connor.

Yeah.. its slighty bigger than stratis. During the day yes i do agree it will be boring (keep in might uni breaks and school breaks around the corner), however if this map is successful it will bring a much much needed player boost being one of the first Malden servers.

Same arguement people use for Altis Tanoa and other large maps, However Combat is always centred around Stores, ATMs, Missions and sometimes playbases. no one is going to go to Abdera on Altis simply because it features a desert.

Remember folks, constant feedback and praise to our key wasteland developers @Dak Commstar and @James32 helps grow and develop both our community and our server. (annnddd may or may not make development go a little faster )

and? thats when its most important

too big for 50-60 people?

Yay! Nice work James

Was just trynna point out that altis doesn't get players ;(

k

>small changes removes like 4 whole sections from the forums righto

Its not just terrorists attack that can destroy peoples lives. They bring the culture where it is not consider wrong to beat you wife or rape women. Just look at articles like this ;http://metro.co.uk/2017/05/31/woman-to-be-stoned-for-death-for-adultery-after-being-raped-at-gunpoint-by-her-cousin-6673785/ do you really want that kind of culture in Australia and other western countries?

the poisonous spread, infecting the 'good ones' this month there has been 32 attacks, not all have been in the west. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_terrorist_incidents_in_June_2017 Maybe have a look at this. https://storymaps.esri.com/stories/terrorist-attacks/?year=2017 so far IN 2017 there has been 548 terrorist attacks with 3,800 fatalites. From ISIS; 208 attacks, 1,726 fatalities you can sit here all day and claim that there is still good people in this religion, which is 100% true. But, if you mum, dad, brother or sister were to die and this could have been stopped by not letting that person into the country, would you? have a think....

more attacks ? Muslims are the victims . http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-40178183?ns_mchannel=social&ns_campaign=bbc_breaking&ns_source=twitter&ns_linkname=news_central

i saw this video the other day and i completely agree with him. However many of the 'high up' Muslims despise him greatly and he gets alot of death threats. he is correct tho, his religion needs to be reformed to a more modern stance. much like Christianity was hundreds of years ago.

I have not, but i have read a good portion to understand the context and direction of it.

1. Remove pissing and getting out of the car animations. 2. Have the price of guns at a middle mark. Not 800k for ZAFAIR. But not 4mil. Have like 2mil? 3.the 'gun store' where you get the guns could move around like a airdrop? Maybe move every hour or so. 4. Have pretty much every gun. 5. Taxis

It is always fun when the cops do a huge convoy ?
