You need to go into your Exile mod directory (where you've installed your Exile mod) and remove the file "exile_3den.pbo" from the folder. This file is only used when building stuff for Exile in the 3DEN Editor and will be blocked if you try to play on servers.

Sounds like a pretty decent idea, I think a good first step to mitigating the driving issue though is getting wastedumps into all the boat and aircraft traders. As far as I'm aware, there isn't any on Abramia but there are on Chernarus so they were probably just forgotten.

After some more research I see the Mk. V SOC has been put into RHS and not been made as a stand-alone mod. This means we unfortunately can't use them due to RHS's rules regarding monetization. 

I have already tested the Seabob Magnum and it is very broken to say the least. Author of the mod says it's a Bohemia issue so probably won't be adding that any time soon.

The Mk. V SOC looks quite nice though, I'll have a look at it.

What about expanding? A new server or more slots! We see tens of people trying to connect to the server when its full, every minute 

There will not be added more slots, after careful consideration we've decided 65 is a good balance between player numbers and performance. Any higher and it would be too laggy to get any good gameplay out of it. As for new servers it would probably be a good bit down the line before there would be thoughts about opening yet another server, considering we just launched Exile Isla Abramia the other day. 

Let people know which server you are looking to play on! Either the Exile Chernarus Isles server or Exile Isla Abramia server?  Might get some more interest then!

I think 600 is probably a bit too big as well, should be lowered down to at least like a Bergen which is at 480. So maybe 450 and the price increased a fair bit to maybe 1,000 or so. Can't remember the price of the Bergens off the top of my head but I think they are like 800 or something like that. So you have the option to go a tad cheaper, with slightly more storage space but at the cost of them being very big, or you can pay more to get a smaller backpack which can fit a lot. I think that's a decent balance.

The taru can lift the bobcat and I doubt there is anything more heavy than that.

Yes, the Taru can lift pretty much everything there is.  The Mohawk is pretty good at lifting as well, as for specific details on all other helis I'd have to look that up.

You can use heli's to carry the vehicles off the island, or?

You can, yes, I'll see if I am able to get the stats from somewhere on each of the helis on how much they can carry as long with the weight of all vehicles and add them to the Vehicle List at some point. No promises though as I'm not 100% sure where I can find accurate information for this without going into all the files. Which I may just end up doing regardless. lul

Is there a specific spawn point for a vehicle on CDF that is broken? Or do you mean the island doesn't have any way to drive the vehicles off? For the former, could you please provide a specific spawn point with screenshots so we could fix it. For the latter I think that's fine, you'll have to heli lift it, use a Blackfish, or use one of the transport boats to get them off.

Why only 1 family base though? The height limit makes sense so it doesn't become littered with sniper bases, but at least letting families have two bases would be nice. The map is big, it can handle two bases per family.

If only one base then there really is a need for more than 200 parts if there isnt already a change to that! Any extra insight into this choice? Seems very strange

I mean the map is big enough, but I can understand that decision.

But nothing speaks against more parts right? I mean you safe 200parts with 1 extra base per family, can we 200 or 100 parts more to our family base?

(I wouldn't see why not )

so let premium players have two bases lol gives the more committed players the option to have two bases and encourages people to buy premium. 

The base parts will be increased to 250 base parts, not stay at 200 like on the Chernarus server so fret not fellow builders.

Two bases for premium would grant players in-game advantages and thus make us in violation of Bohemia rules.

The map is actually very small, smaller than Chernarus, this was the basis for why families are only allowed 1 base. So that there will be enough space for everyone.

Do the same rules from chernarus apply on to the isla abramia server, or will there be modified version? (building mainly)

There will be a slight modification of the rules for the new server.

As UnleasheD is saying, let's not hijack this post with shit talk just because.

Personally, it's a little absurd that you can stack 10 concrete floors on top of each other to cover your flag. Takes all of the creativity out of building base protection. There's pretty much no reason to not stack floors, which makes stealing the flag non-profitable. But that's just me.

The rules has been changed since this post has been made so that you are no longer allowed to do this. Now your flag needs to be in a 1x1 box with nothing else inside of the room, on top of and besides this box however you can stack floors and walls. This makes protecting your flag properly a bit more expensive compared to how it was previously.

Are there any decent servers to check this map out? Can’t seem to find any on A3 launcher?

If I remember correctly there were like 3 or 4 servers last time I checked, they were quite dead with 0/60 players though so they might have been discontinued. 

If you want to check the map out however you can download it from here and fly around it in the Editor. Remember to unload the SG Mod if you want to walk or drive around. 

I would personally much rather remove the admin vehicle all together, other than that we don't get anything that a normal player doesn't. So higher tier loot wouldn't necessarily make a difference for us admins, at least not for me.

There's a difference between not wanting people to spawn with a complete loadout upon death, and not wanting higher tiers at all. Sure that's a bit exaggerated but you get my point.

Crew capacity, and a weapon probably wouldn't happen. At least not by us, however I believe we can edit any other stats. Such as speeds, crate and cargo capacity, armor, etc. I'm not too sure to what extent but I believe it's possible to make it at least viable through a few edits here and there.

Something like this would be awsome, 4 man midget submarine.

Essentially an SDV then? :P

I've trawled through the Armaholic page for boat mods, I've found a few boats that could be used however there are very few smaller submarines that fit Exile. Most of the submarines on there are like the mod suggested above, massive submarines meant to be used in milsim operations. 

So I think a better solution would be to turn up the speed and some other stats of the SDV to make it at least viable, I believe that's something we can do. Can also do that with the rest of the boats currently available now, and potentially available in the future, to make them also more viable as actual means of transportation instead of just a thing you ditch on the beach because it's essentially worthless.

I'm fairly certain it's using the existing submarine from the game. Which is massive.

NOT rebreathers and SDAR for diver. CDF would become a complete aids fest of divers every single time camping everything there is. They should be specialty equipment you bring if you want to do such activities, not get rewarded for dying.

Maybe a bigger backpack, rangefinders, that type of stuff. I also do not think people should be able to spawn with vehicles, admins or players alike, it becomes really obvious and annoying when people just spam those to move around the map.

The in-game votes aren't always indicative of what players actually want!

I want night time to be introduced, but I'd still never vote for night because that's just pitch black darkness that comes like a bang, no preparation, no planning. A nice smooth transition into dusk and a tiny bit of darkness at the very end is what most people want when talking about night I think, which means the votes are pretty much pointless for the ones that actually want a bit of night in their lives. The perfect system for me would be something like ACAB described, where 2 hours is normal day, last 30 minutes would be a sunset/dusk type setting, maybe even last 40 minutes, then the remaining 30/20 minutes is normal night. Which depending on the moon and weather would be either pitch black or bright night. This together with disabling votes, I'd call this a pretty fair compromise for both parts.

Welcome to the best Exile server out there, Towlie!  Hope you'll enjoy yourself here. If you have any issues or questions you can always just ask in side-chat or hop onto our Teamspeak or Discord and ask an admin there!

I think it should be left like this for a while and see what happens, if people buy more cars or not. Balance doesn't happen overnight.
