If Straya was to host an ExileMod server would you be interested in survival gameplay

Well for Xmas day I'm intending doing Xmas day races for all the rejects if your around. This one will be for a steam card but it's a draw from participant's

We had our first xmas event for 2018. The event was: 1vs1 knockout races where players raced each other around a track to knock each other out of competition. The following were the participants. Crag_r 76561198008720905 BigRed1 76561197997075494 Yeet 76561198359493926 [101st] Lukie Walker 76561198263456964 Auschwistic 76561198139846672 Damit 76561197985310187 Mann 76561198019609787 Matsozetex 76561198192272161 ParakeetOfWar 76561198167068009 Rascaljay 76561198138980950 Apache_404 76561198072024713 PFC Racoon 76561198798494438 pkisbest 76561198078903168 The Overall winner was @Mann who displayed some stellar driving.

A huge thanks to @pkisbest for helping me to co-ordinate and be camera crew. Also huge thanks to [101st] Lukie Walker for doing some extraordinary commentary for the races. I honestly couldn't have made it as good without yous so its very much appreciated. Thank you to all of you who participated and made it a fun event without to much stupidity that's appreciated from me.

I don't think you need to be that far away, also depends on the difficulty level. The easy ones will struggle to hit you at 50m

Thx @pkisbest @Humaine Sorry mate I've been a bit to busy to do all my usual mass advertising. It is listed in the Xmas post on the forums. Theirs another one on Sunday this week. Discord and forums is usually where you will get the heads up

Looking for something a bit different for the weekend? Come run around Malden and survive through Enemy AI, Angry Zeds and players that want your shit. Server is in its final week of beta where a bit of forgiveness and help is provided should you want to experiment. After the 22nd, bases are the only things players will be left with unless they request to have them removed.

= Update 151218-1100 - Tweaks to AI gear - Vanilla Bergens removed due to conflict with the small ones. Same size as little one without the big ugly tumour hanging off your back. - Modified Welcomes and Brief - Reintroduced Respect - Removed Quads from dynamic spawns (allow spawning of rarer vehicles) and made them unsaleable - Added some heli's to dynamic spawns - Slightly increased no mission spawn areas around traders - Added respect and money on kill to Zeds - Lowered the Ally Ackbah Zeds explode time Slightly - Mission Vehicles will now be destroyed once connected AI are dead (Mission Vehicles get cleaned up, So better to not make players able to get them) - With Money going direct to player, AI money reduced and still have money on body to loot - Trade Back reduced to 25% (well tested and nice balance) - Increased number of roaming AI vehicles - Added in Service Points at Fuel Stations that have a cost to repair and refuel (Duct Tapes now rare) - Removed Random Traders and placed a main one at North Airfield (So their will be 2 main traders, 1 in the North and 1 in the South) - Fixed Support section of briefing - Traders Lighting Fixed = Known Issues - Boats Trader temporarily removed - Russian Roulette Temporarily bugged - Static AIs from previous trader still present - Multiple Service centres detected in one location

All the mods are on steam. If you launch from the server browser the reqd and optional mods can be viewed and found using subscribe.

Update going through in 10 mins @Stitch where I have overhauled the difficulty levels.

Trust no one, shoot everything

Lol oh well just think, I'm only going to make it more difficult too. It's funny though, I don't cheat and play from having nothing and starting from the bottom up over and over to get a feel for direction and never have a problem finding anything other than a handsaw and axe perhaps. It really is the whole point. It isn't altis life it's not going to be you aren't just going to get everything you want just by going to the shop. I mean if you want to play AL, Straya has a server for that. As for the rant on AI, it's all very contradictory because one moment you think AI have no place next minute it's too hard, lol. I'm going to develop this how I want it because of my experience in knowing how things tick and while I do value opinions, yours are always very aggressive and that doesn't interest me. This isn't my first Arma or exile server and I do all the heavy lifting myself. Just bare that in mind.

For anyone wishing to play on the exile server, search in the server browser for straya. www.battlemetrics.com/servers/arma3/2915432 It is in beta for another 2 weeks at which time it will be wiped for a fresh start. The discord address above in this thread is where all information is transmitted at this time.

You know theirs no reason we can't all do this and many people like being co-ordinated through a lead I see it alot where a squad will have a defined leader and they totally roll an ao no matter what I throw at them. This applies to both altis and Tanoa. Although I will point out their are many big egos and so getting people to put their egos aside to enjoy a game of Arma is also apart of that very challenge It's really up to each individual player how they want to play, it's a public server and hence people can play how they choose. And I think we all know we will always get the morons who are just their to troll and unfortunately this will always be the case. As long as they don't breach the rules then they are just as welcome as anyone else.

Alot of players will use TeamSpeak, alot of groups will use group chat but be using either TeamSpeak or discord. My preference is in game group channel unfortunately use of a main group is under utilised often.

Known issue, unknown timeframe, not game breaking and requires client update which are generally done as a major patch with a few other fixes.

Many people ask time and time again what is the DLC for Tanoa. Both Servers require parts from main DLCs like Jets, Tanks, Helicopters and Markman. These DLCs will give you a full game experience. Steam will likely have sales again very soon but this is basically the same deal for Apex. https://store.bistudio.com/products/arma3-apex-edition Bohemia also have 2 Bundle packs that almost the same price but gives you majority of the content in 1 hit. All the details can be found here. https://store.bistudio.com/category/arma-series

As always your welcome @Humaine . Tanoa will become Tanoa T-Days for Tuesday and Thursday. I and A was originally developed for Tanoa and many of us who played together on the original iteration miss it quite a bit. As for the trees , personally (and yes I cop flak for it) if I'm having a really intense battle in heavy jungle area's I have thermals. Unfortunately it's also a great way to get 1 tapped by a friendly who doesn't ID targets.

Based on tonight's Tanoa Tuesday I would say the stats are very accurate if not better based on the large population we had along for some jungle stomping.

Yes, this is correct @pkisbest 300m is default and imagine that it still accurate. This is done so you can't just use a tank from 2kms away to clear a hq and I assure this attempted, alot.

DON'T FORGET EVERYONE! TONIGHT IS TANOA TUESDAYS! BRING ALONG YOUR FAVE GREEN CAMO AND BATTLE THROUGH THE JUNGLE ON STRAYA'S TANOA I&A AFTER 6PM RESTART. Great for CQB and a total change in tactics!!!

I agree with everything you have said their @=S.N.A.F.U.=. I do indeed want to bring back Tanoa Tuesday. It's a hard one because many don't like/have Tanoa. Personally still my fave map. I will make the effort to push Tanoa Tuesday from here on out on Tuesdays however its difficult for me because of Daylight savings and my work hours but I will commit to promoting it as well.
