s2 dom

[.Max]

The dom on s1 is insanely shitty and allows the competitors of the Arma 3 world to easily take over players and out do Asylum. Even when s1 had low pop Domination would always be populated. S2 dom was the same for 2 and a half years. It still generated frequent pop. It does not make sense why you would want to have all these players lagging on a non-optimized domination. The server was LAGGING the whole dom yesterday. Not to mention all the silly things that happen and were not prepared for like people owning houses, people taking kits, a cartel point going off mid dom. The economy honestly does not mean anything anymore people just want to experience meth fights like they used to on Dom.

please just bring back dom

 

its crazy you guys didn't have to do anything to s2 AT ALL for the past 2 years and it still had a more consistent player base then s1

My main concern is that splitting the player base between two servers when Dom is active will divide the community. It reminds me off pre-wipe days when most players and gangs just played Dom. A better approach might be to address and fix the underlying issues. If these issues are game breaking then yeah open S2 but for now having dom event in S1 is a cool idea and something different.

I get it’s a cool idea. The people that just want to play dom are still going to just play dom on S1 when it is going. Making these players experience the lag and S1 issues that come just isn’t worth. You don’t really split up a community. The people that enjoy arma 3 esports are never going to interact with the role players anyways when they are fighting cartels. Other than Mabye the occasional arrest I don’t really get the argument. Dom is very diffrent then what’s going on on s1 anyways and that is why there can be / is 3-4 days of the week where it doesn’t happen

having dom on S1 is just a worse experience and will hurt the server in the long run, the inflated player numbers isnt worth it

Its only for an hour and a half and not even during peak time... Domination arma 3 community is different than asylum it just bounces from server to server. When gta s3, reborn, olympus, asylum dom  people played all 4 servers only dom. It had an active player base.

There are a number of optimization steps that exist within S2 that do not exist within the current S1 domination mission. Vehicle despawns, suitcase despawns, random events running in the background, etc. all of these need to be adjusted/ turned off whilst domination is active.
 

We are in the active process of building out a more robust, optimized domination experience for people on S1.  Before we turned off S2 we got maybe 35 people per domination. Last night we had almost 60 people all on peninsula fighting for caps.

 

The existing mission is to see “hey are people going to login and drive over to fight this.”  Once we have a more built out and optimized framework we can evaluate alternative options as necessary.  
 

Feel free to disagree below, all feedback is good, all I ask is that you reserve judgement for once we complete this work.

S1 Dom and S2 Dom both work and both should be active.

S1 Dom should be every restart when the server has over 80 players

S2 Dom should be the same schedule, it is not at peak hours and doesn't effect the player numbers during peak hours.

there are 16 people on right now

S1 Domination shouldn't be a thing.

S2 Domination should stick to the same schedule and actually have map designers. S2 Domination became so fucking dead because no one wanted to work on it.

I would suggest changing loadout prices on S2 Domination and prize winnings so it doesn't inflate S1 economy.

Completely agree, if you are worried about the economy you can easily make people only profit 200-400k with code man and they know that. The theory behind S2 killing S1 is just cope. Half the players that enjoy Domination now will just log on S1 for Domination and then log off after. Am I the retarded one for thinking that it would effect the pop of S1 insignificantly. Some of these Admins act like the cartel fighters and role-players are always interacting 24/7

I'm sure the new updates to S1 Dom are going to be fire. I'm sure people will enjoy it and play it for a good while. However, I fully disagree that it will hold population as long as the S2 Dom did. No matter how cool it is you can only do so much in a hour round of Dom vs the full way it was before. I'm sure people are excited for whats coming and all I just cant find it in myself to agree that S2 dom would have any significant effect on the people playing the server as we speak.

Yeah it’s the fact that s2 Dom was modded and you can vote on maps to change things up a bit was I think a main reason people played. Obviously utez was the most popular map but seeing the other ones in rotation occasionally was fun aswell. I can’t see S1 Dom being sustainable

Idk how you fiends can play utez every single time a dom comes up. Had to get a bunch of people just to vote for something else who don’t even play dom lmfao
