Origins Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Custom Faces and Sounds are no longer allowed on AWE. This is because they are effecting server performance. Karate Pyjamas, Amentes, LEO and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miczils Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 I really don't get the whole sadness about those, lets face it, you see that face on your character every now and then, without real purpose other than cosmetic.

Amentes Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 I was talking to ScarFace yesterday, and I recounted a recent event where I ended up IFFing him by his face alone, at distance and with most of his body obscured. On some level, it kind of irked me a bit, as it isn't exactly a realistic experience to have. Personally, I feel that the custom faces in ArmA are best used for adding a real face onto your character, either your own or some other face you might admire; but that something clearly not resembling an actual human face doesn't belong.

Then invent an AWE rule that only allows anything that is clearly just a human face. Would probably also decrease the amount of custom faces.

But then we'd be accused of making rules that are discriminating against certain players - of course this wouldn't be the case, but it wouldn't stop it from happening. Personally I'd like to just invoke the use of common sense on the issue - but I know that'll be a stretch for some people Karate Pyjamas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course this would happen but is this really a problem when some idiots call you an idiot? Also this is your server so you can do on it everything you want to and if they don´t like it they can play anywhere else. 1 hour ago, Copey said: Personally I'd like to just invoke the use of common sense on the issue - but I know that'll be a stretch for some people Thats what rules are for. Because some people always do stupid things without them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karate Pyjamas Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 It's a nitpick rule if we implement it. Let's test it, see what it does and if it doesn't make a difference we'll see what we'll allow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitly. My original post was just meant as an idea in case the faces should actually come back to give a solution for Amentes mentioned Immersion-breaking problem.

Like before. Clarity and simplicity should suffice. If it doesn't, it falls to the staff's discretion as stated. But we're not here to discuss rules. Let's keep it on topic.
