Patch 8.1 In the event of any catastrophic errors or problems on initial release, we may revert back to the previous settings while we make appropriate changes Development Tweak - The various stores & buildings that were getting destroyed are now indestructible Tweak - Changes to various object locations in central stratis Tweak - Added extra assault divers to the sunken supply mission Tweak - Various dialogs Tweak - Increased Armed Stomper UAV Price Tweak - Most missions AI will now spawn with level 2 helmets

Getting a form of bounty system is somewhere on the road map, but i honestly cant give you an ETA

As others have mentioned, it comes down to players having the DLC, population over a large map divided by action and the upkeep of the server. So at this stage, we arent pursuing this course of action.

+1, Unit approves Being a member of strayagaming has opened many opportunities for me, its given me a chance to develop myself and my skill sets, take on a active staff position and be apart of a gathering of unique individuals; that are from different backgrounds and have different stories to tell. It is my hope that our community will continue to grow and thrive, and my dream that we become a recognised portal for all people around Australia to gather and commune, be it server related, or for every day chat. What an easier way to find and make friends than a community thats members share the same interests as you. Peace out! Great community, Great staff :3

Patch 7.2 In the event of any catastrophic errors or problems on initial release, we may revert back to the previous settings while we make appropriate changes Development Added - Spawn delay before re-using towns* Tweak - Fixed Staff Panel for some members of staff Deleted - Falcon* Deleted - ATM Tax for player to player transfer Extra Details Spawn Delay for Towns Staff have decided to add a spawn delay for towns in an effort to combat constantly re-spawning in the same location eg. rogain The goal is to make it harder to camp locations based on how many players are defending vs. attacking. You can semi-counter this feature by utilizing more spawn beacons Deleted Falcon Thanks to a community member that thought 'outside the box', the falcon has been removed from the game Basically, using this players method, the player controlling the falcon could dominate the battlefield with ease We are currently undecided on the fate for the falcon. whether it will remain removed, be made into a special class mission, be reactivated but for all teams. Finding any Issues or bugs? Report your findings to our wasteland staff. The best method to get me looking for solutions is via PM'ing me.

Virtual Arsenal nope, goes against wasteland itself. Long time ago staff pondered on the idea that they would introduce some level of prestige. The idea was to address two main things, 1. custom loadouts, 2. get people to spend their saved in game cash. So say you had 7 or 8 million saved up in the bank, you could spend that and unlock a new (pre defined loadout) for when you respawn. However some suggested that would give an unfair advantage over players and make life aweful for new comers into the wasteland game mode or our server. Perhaps at some point wasteland staff can re-look into this idea with the help of @Connor., but for now, i think this type of feature will be left alone.

Patch 7.1 In the event of any catastrophic errors or problems on initial release, we may revert back to the previous settings while we make appropriate changes After a quick talk to Its developer, the bury body script has been updated and appropriate accreditation has been given. Development Tweak - Mortar will now salvage for 15k instead of $100 Tweak - Bury body feature Tweak - 'Trap card' Tweak - Auto Message now displays every 20 minutes instead of 10. Added - Christmas styled Loads of Tile skins courtesy of @Dak Commstar Updated - diary entry: Wasteland Veteran List Deleted - Intro Music Deleted - Welcome Message (replaced via auto messages) Extra Details Bury body feature Updated to soul's current version Find the scroll option to bury a body a tad easier Deletes dropped items within a few metres radius of the body. Will now delete repair kit, food and water Burying a body now costs 2k instead of 5k Trap Card ~ 'Secret Function' The function can no longer be spam activated.

Hi All. I recall a time where many peeps were requesting/ interested in seeing a hide body function like other US wasteland servers. well, now i've taken the interest in developing, i may actually be able to implement such a function... May/ might Based from other servers, the option would be added in the scroll menu and when looking at a corpse, you will have the option to bury it. You will be locked for a duration (like placing a spawn beacon) and it will cost a select amount, perhaps 7-10k... I will post back this coming Monday with the verdict and the topic will be closed. PLEASE NOTE: Voting concludes after the 5th-Dec-16 and any further votes will not be tallied. Should the community vote in favour, and should all wasteland staff approve, i will endeavour to find a solution/ implement the solution into the next official update. Respect that some ideas (no matter how awesome they may sound) I cannot/ cant be scripted into the game.

Had a similar idea, but with pawnees... I've been told there was a server on arma 2 that had this style of event... perhaps one day... one day, something along the lines of this might be possible for our wasteland.

Yep as the others have stated, doing so requires quite a bit of work and increase the client download tenfold. So unfortunately we cant really do it

Sorry mate, but as Red has stated, too many risks among other factors.

NME? What im getting from this is 'capture/ hold sector for X amount = pre defined reward'? and if thats case, im very interested. It be wicked to entice peeps to jump from store to store instead of camping 1 spot all the time... Ill put it down on the Ideas list

ah yeah

haha, came back to watch that base take over again

Good Stuff bru!

Anything you would like to utilise from my Youtube channel, go ahead.

But... but why?! haha, i dont think too many people are interested in reverting back to the default camo, so I wont work on changing it at this time Choose your skin selection wisely ;P

Offline peeps will not be affected, id be pretty raged myself if it were the case, no, only online players. Will look into displaying hack percentage across global chat or hint message. Ill see what i can do with the sunken supply missions :3 maybe even create a server event supply drop mission for land as well. post Here If you have any ideas on how we can shape the development of wasteland Just remember, some ideas no matter how awesome, i cannot/ is unable to be implemented :3

Funny you say that amongst the im planing in the road map, ive made considerable progress on this idea... The image you see below is what the hacking mission currently spawns in with on my testing server. It is set to run as a main mission, which is activated more frequent than i or anyone else would want it to happen. So im either going to add a special mission class (runs random special mission once or twice per 6 hour period) or make it a server event to be run at admins discretion. I want to see more people paying attention/ wanting to complete missions, as we generally find theres a select few that people cant be bothered trying to complete *sunken supplies anyone?* Currently how it works is you have to click the hack option in scroll wheel, and sit there for a random duration, you are completely defenceless while you are doing the hack, so youll need help from allies to defend ya. If at anytime you have to cancel the hack or get killed, the timer is reset to another random period, meaning the hack will have to start at the beginning, maybe for a longer duration. I've been pondering on the idea of making it so when someone cancels the hack the the mission might end/ explode and kill people within the radius... and making a memory script, so anyone that loggs out after the hack is done, it remembers and on next login it subtract the percentage, along with a dishonour fee for leaving after the hack was initiated. the percentage taken from users will be as low as 0.001 or something... meaning if your poor, you'll loose something as petty as 100 bucks, for the rich folk, maybe 10k... Still, ill be playing around with it some more, and when it comes to its release, ill post a topic with all the facts about the missions. PS. maybe i should make sunken supplies include the viper helm or other awesome gear? ;P or just make sunken treasures like money shipment, low/ medium/ high treasure...
