bunni Posted March 29, 2020 Report Share Posted March 29, 2020 (edited) a second altis server would just divide the people who play on s1 if u make another map (stratis) you would get dedicated players to that map specifically stratis is better then altis in every way too Edited March 29, 2020 by bunni ł S4M ł, Infamous [FULL SEND], BlackShot and 6 others like this Link to comment

BlackShot Posted March 29, 2020 Report Share Posted March 29, 2020 Opening a new map can be a little time-consuming. On the other hand, what are we most concerned about opening a new server? I think: Player base will drop down as time passes and people can start leaving their houses again Players will possibly lose their houses and investments if server is later shutdown Re-opening Stratis can be a little time-consuming, but I think we can counter some disadvantages. For example, if player base drops, that shouldn't be a huge problem since Stratis is at least 13x smaller than Altis. You would still find decent amount of fights/action per area. It also feels hell good to have something different than Altis. In my noob days, damn, I used to have lots of fun on Stratis. Lots of good memories. BioHazard likes this Link to comment

My rough estimate is that we will have the second server up for 2 weeks or so. It depends on how things go etc. I don't want to dedicate the devs time towards it more than is needed. This is a temporary bandaid to help with the overflow. Samus_Aran, Bag Of Funyuns, Padrinos and 1 other like this Link to comment

Jbdragon Posted March 29, 2020 Report Share Posted March 29, 2020 Its seems alot of people want to see OG Stratis ( With Meth ) come back. My 0.002$ is why not make it Straits, it seems like this 2nd server isnt really going to be focused on as a real server but only a back-up when S1 is full. Which brings up the question how many will S2 populate 25, 50 people maybe ? Thats a whole lot of island ( Altis ) for a small number of people running around. With Straits its a small to mid range Island perfect for those looking to get themselves into quick and chaotic fights or make some quick money while you wait for S1 to lower in numbers. If Stratis where to get added I would advise having no helicopters being such a smaller island compaired to is bigger brother Altis. Also having all of the drugs added Meth, Coke, Heroin and Weed. Along with Cartel zones, Rebel outposts, Cop HQ's, Prison and a Bank of course. Again this is just my thoughts on the matter. Id love to see Stratis make a return to Asylum @Mitch (IFRIT) Mr.Purple, Shad0wedDreamer, Infamous [FULL SEND] and 3 others like this Link to comment

Kituii Posted March 29, 2020 Report Share Posted March 29, 2020 Please make this an official poll. So many people have over 5k hours on altis. I think the server wouldn't he dead 24/7 as you said the intention is to have a second server as spillover when server 1 is full. Stratis would be very fun. Having a second Map option that is only open during peak hours would be fine and something new. Previous alt maps have had issues because there were 4 other altis servers to play on but now there is one. Link to comment

goyney Posted March 29, 2020 Report Share Posted March 29, 2020 (edited) Stratis would attract new players. It is an easy map for new players, plus it's something that not many communities have anymore.

HotWings Posted March 29, 2020 Report Share Posted March 29, 2020 18 hours ago, Sliick said: @Mitch (IFRIT) We appreciate the second thought on an overflow as there is a metric gnash of players trying to join at peak hours. But honestly I think players would have a better time on an overflow server if it were to be Stratis (guess thats not happening), Strife to fight and have fun, or hell even a fucking Minecraft server instead. But I see it now there being 20 people on server 2 not fighting or interacting much but just money making in a boring ass setting. No one wants to play stratis, even when Arma was at its peak the Statis server never had more than 30 and those people were doing nothing but grinding money for the other servers. Link to comment

Steve Posted March 29, 2020 Report Share Posted March 29, 2020 The unfortunate reality is that Altis is realistically the best map for a life server in Arma 3. It's huge and has a lot of variety in terms of the landscape. This is less of my opinion and more of a fact. Altis has so many well designed and positioned towns as well as areas for drug fields and such. It fits perfectly into the wheel of balance that spins for a thriving life server. This is what makes it easy for Altis life servers to grow. The other part is that any time we had an alternative map within our server selection it was always a place people almost exclusively went to make money. People are absolutely right when they say that the other map loses its population and hype with in a week to a months time. I personally wish that wasn't the case, because I legitimately enjoyed playing Stratis way back when, and playing on Malden when Strife was a thing. Link to comment

Kawaii Posted March 30, 2020 Report Share Posted March 30, 2020 Again, perhaps a Stratis server with a lowered max pop? Assuming too much effort to convert the mission file to Stratis, but a second Altis server for max pop hours even for the duration of the quarantine feels like a waste of everyone's time really, no offense. 王 Ari Petrou 王 likes this Link to comment
CashM0N3Y Posted March 30, 2020 Report Share Posted March 30, 2020 I think a different map would be the ideal move especially since it's temporary would be fun to be able to have a new experience for the remaining "temporary" period. BlackShot likes this Link to comment

skimancole Posted March 30, 2020 Report Share Posted March 30, 2020 (edited) Please do Stratis. I thought Y'all had the files from server 5 still.

I guess i would be more willing to attempt something else if the data supported it. But looking at arma servers in general people love altis and the numbers show for it. only reason its popular is because its the only damn map people bother putting on their server. Plus, have you seen any comments on here saying they WANT altis? alll i see is people wanting stratis, because altis is boring asf Link to comment
Huan Lee Posted March 30, 2020 Report Share Posted March 30, 2020 aussie life also unless you have 2 entire playerbases then having all the overflow go into an altis server will make it a low pop server, but if the overflow went into a smaller island like malden or stratis then the lower population would still have a lot of activity Link to comment
