like everyone else said, finally a very good 1st Person (Hybrid) Server! I'm lovin' it! I advise you to try it out, even if you are not german (Most people will speak englisch at this server anyway.) PRO: Cup Vehicles Cup Units Cup Weapons BALANCED Guns Very good FPS Nice Team/Admins (listening to your posts on the forum) CON: View Players only (That can change) No Revive (Can also be a PRO ...) Cya on the server!

Hey Guys and Girls, I, as many other, had a smiling and a sad face, while reading the Dev Blog regarding the Mobile XM8 mobile App :-/ If this is the wrong forum just move the tread pls! Personaly I LOVE the idea of having an App telling you when your base is raded, HOWEVER there are a view issues that I would like to diskuss with you: 1. (The most obvious one) 2.50 € /month for the service. There are several pros and cons on that topic which I read about and all of them have their right to be there. Eventhough I'm a Computer Scientist myself, I don't know about the costs when it comes to that kind of cloud services. Nevertheless 30 €/year for little notification service feels not right from my perspective. [I recomend investigating into ads ...] 2. (The most crucial one) Balancing will be kind of destroyed due to the aspect that about 50% of the playes will have an information, that the other 50% of playes will probably have not! Arma and nearly all arma-related Content is ment for total balance. (Pls no discussion about Marksmen DLC at this point ...) Usually Players log of in their base, completly geard, locked and loaded, rdy to engage, so that kind of information is not to be taken lightly. So the current plan feels like P2W limited to those with an Android Phone ... NOW, how do we get Point 1 & 2 resolved while still having that very cool Idea of offline-notification? The idea that came to my mind was an E-Mail Notification System, that basically has simular notification-options, but could be completely independent from charge AND can still be recieved via smartphone/tablet anywhere. The registration could occour via Steam-Email OR an standard email-verification. [Enter E-Mail in XM8 ingame, recieve a code via E-Mail and enter that one in XM8 ...] Let me know what you think about my Idea! Greetings Vietnam

The issue is not about using the information, but having access to it ... if do not even have the information itself you can not use it. Basically you are cut off from the information so even if you could react on a baseraid, you can't because you didn't even have the information on the first place. On the post topic I agree with Eichi, but not on this one! Some of the e-mail issues are valid, sone are none-sense. First, he makes the assumption of a central E-Mail management system for ALL EXILE SERVERS around the world. Why should your centralize such a system?!? Secondly, I play an online version of the boardgame "Game of Thrones" which uses exactly such an E-Mail Notification system. Of course this system is bigger, but could be decentralized, managed by server-owners ... I can't argue on steam api, because i have not used it, nor knwing the exact issues

I will check it out! But you guys need some players ;D

hey, my friends and me are looking for a decent first person only server as well! It should contain several mods, like custom weapons, vehicles and stuff. The loot should be low to moderate to keep the missions attractive ... Basically just a nice 1st Person Only server Greetings, Mr_Turquoise PS: If anyone is interested in setting a serer up, I would have a couple of ideas and I would help

I believe he is right in most points: -Ban for Navid and SMPG -Ban of all Thermals
