Arma3 - Single Player Beta Testing / Re: [SP/CAMP] Black Lands
« Last post by Clayman on 25 Jan 2024, 21:41:07 »So today I spent some time with Setting-up time. I hadn't planed to play that mission for so long, in the end it where nearly four hours ingame, disregarding some breaks I took and the countless reloads. I guess I got lost in the process at some point. It has been a long day.^^
Overall it was a disappointing affair, no vehicles to steal, no ammoboxes to loot. It made my life a lot harder trying to prepare my men for the next world war... As it seems my constant nagging finally shows some effect.
On a more serious note, most of the mission went pretty flawless. No major bugs or showstoppers where spotted. I was always keeping my eyes open if I could find anything new to discover, like additional sidetasks or other hidden secrets. But the mission already is massive with lots of stuff to uncover.
However, there have been a few smaller flaws I encountered.
There seemed to be some missing buildings in Zelenogorsk. Looked kinda odd. Unless my graphics a going completely nuts.
I still couldn't get Matai to repair any vehicles. While I can talk to him and he will join my group, when I tell him to repair a vehicle, he immediately leaves my group and goes back to repair his own truck. After that I couldn't talk to him anymore.
On my way to Kamils house I took a detour to blow up the gas station. Although I destroyed both the actual fuel station and the fuel tanks in the yard, the objective didn't tick off. But therefore Matais dialog options suddenly showed up again. As I just wanted to end the mission at that point I didn't try to interact with him again.
While rescuing Pvt Radik, I noticed one unarmed russian soldier running all over the place. As he was no threat to me I spared him. Sergej however didn't show no mercy and killed the poor guy on the spot.
While I do appreciate that I can't capture a whole fleet of vehicles anymore, it would be nice if there would be at least one truck I could use. Either from the fuel depot or at Radiks house. Besides the fuel truck, the only vehicles I could obtain where two UAZs. Apart from the limited storage capabilities, getting Sergej to drive one of the UAZs back to the camp without running into one of the many patrols was not that much fun.
Talking of vehicles, I felt that a few parked trucks or something would do well at the depot. I looked a bit empty overall.
After I had stolen the motorbike it didn't take long for the police to show up. However, they were still searching the village three hours later. Doesn't the police in Chernarus have anything better to do? Actually I would be willing to return the motorbike after I had obtained a better vehicle. But the cops always started shooting at me on sight so I had to take a detour around the village every time on my way from the camp or back.
When I arrived at Kamils house, I noticed a dead civilian lying in front of a parked truck and some other guys standing around him. But noone seemed to bother.
When Kamil asked about our equipment and Tomas answered "almost nothing", I thought "well, except for hundreds of weapons an a ton of ammunition...". While looting the hell out of this mission still is fun, getting all the stuff back to the camp would greatly benefit from a larger vehicle.
I guess as soon as I attack any russians, there is no way to go undercover again? There where several situations where a random patrol would shoot at me from afar, while I was in the UAZ and had no weapon equipped.
Overall I had a blast playing this. I guess I kinda fell in love with this mission (again). You can easily get lost in the atmosphere and the open gameplay. It was really fun and by times quite challenging. A great mission overall and I'm looking forward to your plans regarding Dalibor and the Salesman.
