To expand on this: The way Arma does damage handling sucks. Depending on what other methods of obtaining war points would be added, I could see it absolutely being exploited by players who understand how bad Arma is at handling that. Especially since people have exploited more indepth difficult systems for less. Creating larger rewards for war points would further incentivise players to try and re-create those scenerios for the sake of farming points. That would be more people needlessly getting banned. If the system was changed then it was changed for a reason. Now this is something that I could see potentially being worked with and could potentially allow you guys to get some war-point changes through. I am not saying that making changes to war points will be impossible but simply asking it to be "reverted to how it was" will likely never happen. If it was changed, it was very likely for a reason. Your guys best chance is working with small changes that does not significantly increase the risk of abuse and work from there. I don't have infinite money and I am a fan of war points. I'm just simply putting it out how it is.

Honestly development effort wise, making the changes mentioned in the posts and replies would be super easy. I think the larger problem is abuse and exploitation. Although there's things we could do to potentially mitigate those risks, we could never really prevent them. I think that is generally why it is a non-starter and for good reason. It's unfortunate but it makes sense.

A little heads up as someone whose used sound mod for a while and has heard of other players having similar issues: If you hear an engine making a really awfully glitchy sound, that sound will crash your game in usually 7-8ish seconds. Really bizarre issue but I've found other people have had it infrequently from time to time as well. If you hear it and tab out immediately and tab back in you can entirely circumvent the crash itself

Thank you for all your years of contributions as staff. o7

To reiterate the statement I jokingly added in small text in my earlier reply: we have developed a fix for this bug of which should resolve any outstanding issues with daily rewards I would defer that question to @ Mako but my guess would be probably not unfortunately.

@ GST

In all seriousness I believe it should be fixed by a member of our development staff pending next update

Honestly I really like the takes in this post all the way around. The truth is there is busted stuff with both factions, and @ thomp62 addresses it perfectly. So I am not rambling, here is a list of items that I generally endorse: Giving lower ranks an easier and more guaranteed opportunity for lethals and slightly better weapons during federal events. Before I recieved my Staff Sgt rank a few months ago, I played as a PO and had to deal with all the nuisances that came with it. The largest nuisance was that it felt like I was entirely useless up until the 10 minute mark where then lethals could potentially be authorized. Giving lower ranks a more reasonable opportunity to perform would generally increase the entire quality of life and perception of federal events by Jr. APD. Limitations to armor under certain circumstances. Having played civ and done feds myself, getting an entire wave of hunters or striders within the first four minutes of the event starting is brutal and not really fair at all. Although I'd like to think that Sr. APD discretion is generally good, there are some that generally see a "proportionate response" as whatever it takes to win. I think a 1:2 ratio of armor versus civs is a generally fair proposal. The only thing I would personally like to see further to endorse this is perhaps is some written exceptions. The usage of RPGs and other generally effective armor penetrating blackwater gear at federal events has become significantly more common. In the cases where a certain amount of vehicles are lost, I think it should be warranted that the limit is able to be exceeded. OR (likely an unpopular take) the usage of Ifrits are evaluated for cops. As it stands right now, hunters are not very effective at all at withstanding even the basic MK1. Providing the APD the ability to pull Ifrits under written exceptions would provide a reasonable response to federal events where players are effectively utilizing really OP blackwater gear that generally makes it unwinnable for the APD. Ultimantely the entire goal is to prevent civs from being absolutely cancered by an entire wave or armored vehicles the moment the event starts, but also provide equal opportunity for APD to be able to use them appropriately when necessary situations provide. @ Noble 's post about runs. I generally have never like how federal event-centric roundtable ideas have generally been in recent years. I think that consistently ever waging war for each faction to keep them fair generally hurts the entire purpose of roundtable. The majoirty of players do not have an interest or active participation in federal events. Roundtable ideas should be about requesting ideas for content and rules that make the game fun for everyone, not just those that tend to run these events. Ultimantely they are a very end-game activity and the consistent war back and fourth on them I feel like causes a lot of really cool ideas that would otherwise benefit the representation of everyone to be neglected. One of the coolest things added to Olympus in recent times was the phones, not an increase in gold bars. That being said, I think there should be limits to how often federal events are permitted to be discussed in roundtables. The consistent need for both factions to have to put up their dukes for those events prevent a healthy flow of ideas that represent the general non-fed running or waving community. Having a limit would allow for more meaningful evaluation of those ideas before they are put up before faction leads, of which are then passed up before senior staff.
