Dear Bohemia,
First of all thanks for making such a good game, I have over 700 hours on ARMA 3 and will probably gain a lot more.

As a player I primarily play public Zeus, which as great as it is has some flaws.

First of all, when players occasionally join the server some may get caught in the bottom left hand corner of the map, unable to respawn or even leave the server. Whilst sometimes fixable by the Zeus, if not the player has to either close their game, or ask to get kicked by the admin on the server if there is one. This is really annoying and I would love it if you could fix this.

Secondly, since you removed the admin debug console, there is currently no way for a Zeus to give the players a full arsenal, something that is key to enable all the players have the right equipment for the upcoming mission. Whilst partial Arsenal’s can be created I often find I can’t load in some of my classes, which seems to randomly change every game I play. My suggestion is to somehow allow the Zeus to easily add an arsenal to either a vehicle or ammo box.

Thirdly, in the virtual arsenal it is possible to change the paint jobs on vehicles, something which would make the vehicles in public Zeus a lot more realistic. For example the CSAT Xian only has the tropical paint job, so whilst a great functioning vehicle, looks odd and out of place on Altis for example. If you could add an option to choose betweeen the paint jobs in the game to the Zeus many vehicles would look better and the game would look more realistic.

Fourthly (nearly done don’t worry), whilst CTRG has a sand and urban clothing scheme there is no way for the Zeus to place soldiers using these camouflage patterns unless they want to manually place them on every soldier, if you could make some AI with the patters and add them to the Zeus menu that would be great.

And finally, voting for admin is a long and painful process, with players often trolling and then refusing to vote admin, resulting in a server that has a troll, but can’t get the required amounts of votes to vote an admin to remove the troll. If you could either reduce the required votes or make an option for Zeus to force all players to vote an admin it would make the process of getting an admin so much easier.

I hope you found this email helpful, these changes whilst small would vastly improve the public Zeus aspect of ARMA 3.

Thanks,
Robbo
