Main server goes down 2 weeks before 6.5 and Takistan goes up just to shake things up a bit, was really successful before 6.0

Applications will be put out around middle of April, a requirement is to of played FiveM before.

FiveM is planned to come out late June

It will be completely under wraps bar testers until the trailer.

Hey everyone, I just wanted to make this thread to let everyone know our plans this year. There is a lot of talk about FiveM and what that means for ARMA 3 so I wanted to make a thread to make it clear what the plan is. 6.3 is planned to come out around 1st of April 6.4 is planned to come out around 6th of May FiveM is planned to come out late June FiveM will be whitelisted only and is serious 18+ RP People with a history of rule breaks on ANZUS will not be accepted on whitelist The development team of FiveM is currently 80% new developers so the ARMA development team will not be greatly affected once it is released. Some developers will do both, some will do one or the other. Out of our 25 active developers, 4 of them are FiveM only developers, 5 of them are both ARMA and FiveM, the rest are ARMA only just to put it into perspective. Expressions of interest for Staff, PD and EMS will be put out in May. Takistan Popup is planned to come out around 1st of July for 2 weeks 6.5 Florida Life is planned to come out around 15th of July Updates after this will be planned with 1 month apart in mind, exactly the same as how we've done things before 6.5 and FiveM have been released. If there is any concern about ARMA 3, you are not to worry. It will still be developed, it will still be focused on. We have already started development of the 7.0 map and money has been paid to developers working on it so its locked in. You can be assured we're committed to making sure ARMA 3 is given the attention it deserves to thrive. If there are any questions, queries or comments feel free to ask them I will try to reply to as many as I can.

We need more submissions people!

Hello everyone, as we discussed at gang wars we will be doing a vote on how the community want to implement class 3s. The reason I have chosen these options as I want the roleplayers to stay, combat players might not like it but both roleplayers and combat players are equally important. The server can't survive long term without both so we have to find a middle ground. 4.0 was too much RP, 5.5 was too much combat and killed the server A LOT more than the 4.0 player drop. We want 6.0 to be different. I believe personally believe option 1 is the best way to find that middle ground, but I've been wrong before so really think about it before you vote to make sure you make the right decision. Option 1: Class 3s can only be obtained via crafting, sequence missions or major crime robberies. No use restrictions apart from the generic etiquette ones. (Not robbing gas stations with multiple class 3s etc) Class 3s will eventually be added back to rebel within a month or two at a high price and slowly lowered as the update goes on. Option 2: Add class 3s in shops for $12,000 minimum. No use restrictions apart from the generic etiquette ones. (Not robbing gas stations with multiple class 3s etc) Class 3s will not be lowered from this price unless SMT see fit in the future. Option 3: Add class 3s in shops for $20,000 minimum. No use restrictions apart from the generic etiquette ones (Not robbing gas stations with multiple class 3s etc) Class 3s price will be lowered once a week until we find a nice price which allows for roleplay and combat to work together, this maybe $5,000 it might be $15,000 MUST READ I do need to say this and people need to take it VERY seriously, when we add class 3s back, if server goes into chaos we will be handing out heavy punishments (2 weeks minimum) to anyone ruining the current meta of the server. Combat players have promised that they want class 3s just to be able to enjoy class 3s and the meta will not change so I am holding them to do that. Do not go hands up or dying cops for no reason, do not go into Orlando with class 3s period, do not have them on your back freely and not care. All of these things are now fail rp and are not acceptable. My suggestion is to stay north with class 3s unless you have a roleplay reason to go south e.g. going to a major, gang war or fighting for a turf. No matter the vote, the release of class 3s will be crafting/sequence only for 1 WEEK to allow the mass crafted weapons in the past month to be sunk a bit. We will be assisting KD guns to keep up with demand if it runs out before this week is up. Happy will be posting a gun buyback/crafting changes thread later today. If all crafters are willing to give up all the weapons they've crafted we don't need to do this but I assume that is unlikely.

This is completely silly, rules should only be accidentally broken. Most players are 18+ following the rules is easy as long as you don't have an ADHD breakdown you can follow them.

4.0 was still sustaining 70+ players all the way up until 4.5 (check web archive), at the time that was REALLY low considering we just had a year of 125 players the whole time. 5.5 went down to 50-60 players at times, it was definitely a lot worse. They whole point was that it was easier than 4.0 and its a lot easier than 5.0 as well due to the run distance being easier in most cases due to the road layout and no hills. It is clear that both FULL combat and FULL roleplay do not work. We have to find a middleground.

People need to stop ignoring the following and I suggest re-posting their suggestion. This is impossible establish a proper vote because every single option from both sides is pretending like facts don't exist and people are eating up without considering it. - No matter what the vote is, we will end up with affordable class 3s in rebel, this vote is for a temporary change to see how it will go and so we don't kill roleplay off. - Cheap class 3s and easy economy on 5.5 killed the server to the same level as the 4.0 economy changes did if not worse due to where ARMA 3 is now, so there has to be a middle ground where the roleplayers have a place no matter what. - On 4.0 crafting only class 3s did affect the player base but so did the fact COVID ended, the map sucked, the economy was VERY grindy including crafting. Crafting is now 10x easier so they technically can do 10x the demand and the economy is probably 4-5x easier now as well. You can argue the fact you couldn't access class 3s was the biggest factor but stop ignoring the fact the other things were big reasons for a lot of people. This is not a matter of opinion, all of these things did contribute. If we had guns in rebel all those issues would of persisted and the player base likely may of tanked ending in the same result of changes on 4.5. For combat players to pretend like 4.0 would of been fine with class 3s are just not considering the facts. - We can't stay on no class 3s forever, so roleplayers should take this into consideration with their suggestions.

@Anton Tikhonovich@Alex Hinkley@Raphael Mephistopheles @Kaladin Sulzberger Can you not handle the demand?

Another point is gangs finished last wipe with 10s of millions in their gang banks. That wasn't sinkable and they had unlimited guns so rebel weapons being higher won't affect big gangs much as they can still buy with gang funds. Although conflict won't pay out as much it will still be a decent amount with fees, turfs and cap points. Then the non-gang people who don't have gang funds can go through crafters but they probably prefer that anyway.

I feel like auction house defeats the purpose of roleplay and people are just roleplaying with a sign. What are your thoughts given that statement?

I think this is a bad representation of reality. 4.0 was completely different when it comes to crafting levels and crafting guns. It is probably 10x easier now then it was back then. We've made it so people can easily sell guns at 4k-10k and still make a profit. If guns were 10-20k in rebel they would still be obtainable but cheaper from crafters. A lot of the reason 4.0 died was because it was hard across the board, and covid ended.. not just because of class 3s. 5.5 died A LOT more than 4.0 did when we were too focused on combat. You haven't played 6.0 so you don't know that Conflict you don't even lose your gear. I really want this conversation to be a good one but people blindlessly agreeing with people ignoring context will only hurt your cause. In reality the safest way to do this is to put class 3s in the shop for 10-17.5k (ish) and make crafters be the forefront of the market and slowly lower the prices until its at a point where its balanced. If that means increasing majors to make it better, sure we can consider that. All respect Ryan, you know I got you homie just needed to say this.

I think its important to note crafting was extremely hard along with runs on 4.0 so I don't believe that is a good representation of what it could be and it would only be in crafting to begin with then eventually added back to rebel. Just so we can slowly drip it in.

As stated in the thread, this is just to begin with an the end result will be this. Is this still your response given that?

Anyone who is toxic in this thread/causes drama will be given a lengthy in-game ban so act like adults please, it's ok to have different opinions.

Hello everyone, I hope you're enjoying 6.0. Player wise it's officially the most successful release even topping 3.0 playtime, big ups to everyone who made it possible. For those who are new Class 3 = assault/automatic rifles. Class 3s have been a hot topic this week after Lewis millers thread popped off a bit. We always said pistol only will be for 2 weeks then we will look at discussing how we want to release class 3s and that time is here. 6.0 has had a completely different vibe and there is worry from SMT that class 3's could effects this, we want to implement class 3's in a way where it will not effect the vibe whatsoever. We understand we need to start sinking the economy and that a lot of the combat andies are getting a bit bored. This transition has to be done right though. My question to the community is, what way do you think we should implement class 3s? Noteable recommendations from Lewis millers thread: Note - These are beginning recommendations, the end situation will always result in class 3s in rebel for an affordable price based on the economy. Option 1: (From me) - Bring back class 3s in rebel at 20-30k (or a a high number) to begin with - Add class 2s in rebel for a affordable price - Allow class 3s to be bought from crafters (Note crafting is A LOT easier in 6.0, some people are already level 70+ and have a big stock of C3S. They will be affordable regardless of rebel price) - Class 3s can only be used in the baron land(Rebel and above) and Majors. Option 2: - Only add back class 2s to rebel - Allow crafters to run the class 3 market - Allow class 3s to be used at majors/red zones Option 3: - Go back to normal straight away (Class 3s in rebel for cheap and allowed to use anywhere) These are just 3 different ideas, doesn't have to be this way I am 100% open to hear what the community thinks. To achieve what I want from this thread short +1 responses are not wanted, we want well thought out responses. Important things to add in your response How much you believe class 3s are worth How you believe they should be accessed Where they should be used This thread is very important for the future of ANZUS, we won't have an opportunity to re-do this until 7.0 at the latest.

This is what took 2 hours to fix and realise it was stopping the server from starting so we canned it for this one, we're looking for some options.

Note a lot more stuff was fixed just not in the changelog, please note we've fixed as much as we can. Development team is still a bit burnt out from the 6.0 grind so its not everything. The plan is to release another non-modpack hotfix on 1st of Feb then release 6.1 mid-feb.
