its actually bullshit ,

Tbh we didn’t think about the time zones. We’re just testing some new performance updates for s1 with a full server. If servers show to fill earlier then anticipated we will adjust the times for the next few days. You guys are still free to play on S1, just won’t have access to your houses obviously.

Do you not read or what? If you look at the post, it says we are locking it during non peak times. 12pm est on a Thursday is not a peak time. You'll have the opportunity to move your gear if you want to. This is not us closing server 2, this is us trying to actually have something happen on the server instead of kids doing runs with little to no risk all day.

Or message @Zahzi and he will refer back to us slaves as most of this map was made between 1-4 am across multiple nights during our overnight shifts where we start to get tired but zahzi keeps putting stimulants in our snacks that he feeds us like we are workers in a vietnam sweat shop

Dude... you weren’t supposed to tell them  

Updated as of 10/11/2020 to reflect New Update

I put the cereal first, then the bowl, then the fork, then the hot sauce. 

My Arma 4 wishlist is for Arma 4 to come out

Bans that expire (such as the 1 day ban) can still be appealed so we don't have further bans on our "transcript" right? Say for example you get a 1 day ban but your recording nulls the ban but by the time staff gets to your appeal you're already unbanned, would you be able to still get the ban removed even though you're no longer banned?

Yes you can appeal a ban within a reasonable time frame to get it removed from your record. However this is also on a case by case basis.

I was in fact in a tank in that gamer guy and he was saying mean words, not scripting  

Damn whoever played the role of [OS] Ryan did it wrong, id never be out in the open like that without a tank! And I don’t do bans! Fire them.

Im talking recording is fucked for people with shit PCs. I didn't record for years to maximise fps. Past few gang wars they have just used the olympus mission file with all the shit on it. I talking like a high performance server like in 2016 with the gang war UI and what not

Take all the time you need man, this game shouldnt be your priority. Sending my regards

Quality content. I mean, it’s only natural. Just gotta survive until Arma 4. But imagine the community will have the most members it ever has had when Arma 4 drops and an Olympus server starts up. If Bohemia interactive shows any inkling of intelligences, which I imagine they have, Arma 4 will perform better than Arma 3, improve upon the existing content, and greatly support the modding/Arma players that enjoy developing their own missions/servers.

Based off hearsay from insiders, Arma 4 will be using DayZ's "Enfusion" engine. Aka it wont even be 100% sqf coding like Arma 3 is.

Almost all companies are still working now. A couple of weeks ago they were all shut down in full lockdown and the server was poppin. 

Mainly this ^ Arma is a dying game but summer is usually our peak times. Regardless, all the Atlis Life servers took a hit this season, not just Olympus. With this pandemic, our summer pop came a bit earlier then anticipated, and when time came to go outside people started to prefer that over video games (understandably)

Just because its "light rp" doesn't excuse the toxicity of a community...

No one either implied that all servers are perfect... your saying essentially go onto another game because you assume the rp is better just because its a different game? Some servers are just logically better with their rules than Olympus... that's a fact, no matter how light the rp may be.

Compared to other servers, I seem to believe our rule set is the easiest and probably most straight forward. Guess its personal opinion though.

Arma 3 is a dying game in itself. Only about like 15k users are on at any given time. Then everyone of that 15k is divided into different communities from KOTH and milsim to roleplay servers.

Everyone is just waiting for the next game to come out. Which I imagine will be somewhat shortly since Arma is Bohemia’s biggest game lineup. I heard that they are building a new engine called Enfusion and I can say confidently that Arma 4 will be the most popular Arma game to date. The engine they are making will certainly outperform the Arma 3 engine, and we have already seen snippets of it in Dayz Standalone.

I don’t like Dayz Standalone compared to the mod. However, no one can deny that it runs significantly better than Arma 3 in terms of performance. The performance of Dayz and the future improvements to gameplay from Arma 3 will push Arma 4 into a new light.

ofc everyone is hyped for oly to be a rp server on arma 4 but it's gonna be a long time before arma 4 comes out 

Arma 4 for Olympus will happen. We actually started brainstorming ideas for how we want to develop this server.

@Ryan we're gonna need lead developer rex back

When I tried doing this last year this is the answer I got ^_^ 

Would of been done by now if we took our time on it

Although I have always wanted to update the HUD, this one aint it chief  

It feels too cluttered, takes up a lot of the screen. Stuff like the donor level I feel like we can just include within the Y menu if its really necessary. A good HUD has a clean fresh look, with as little as possible on the screen.

What makes a good UI for games now days is minimalism. 
 

If your gonna attempt to redo it, you are going to want to de-clutter what is currently implemented in-game. 
 

I’m talking smaller/thinner progress bars, the ability to toggle the hud via an action key, and introducing more innovative ideas to handle text messaging (or messages in general) as well as confirmed kills and stuff. The last thing people wish for is more information on their screen when they can press a button and see it anyways. Especially when this information is not imperative to know 24/7.

TLDR this^
