Ho Ho Ho!
'Tis the season to be jolly; tis the time for stealing lolly. Been a busy few weeks, and the dev-team have been struggling hard against a few real-life time-guzzlers, plus a joyful ARMA3 core update from Bohemia that put us right in the Christmas poo for a while, but we made it through!
There's a new look to central Kavala, and no doubt this will continue to change as our high street shopping needs evolve, but by far the biggest impact (
pun intended) will come from the smallest alteration; look out for the new road priorities around the church! The police will no doubt be looking to fine offenders, whether it's Christmas or not!
Watch out also for the SAF crates... after years of absent-mindedly dropping their supply-crates with little or no respect for either location or gravity, they've started to feel the effects of all that attrition. Rumour has it that if you leave their crates alone, they'll simply pick them up later, silently... but if you mess with them, or worse, take their precious gear, all hell will break loose. But we've heard these threats from SAF before, and we think they're just a bunch of Christmas turkeys...
And of course, being Christmas, everyone is on the move, travelling to see friends and relatives in faraway places, and Altis is no exception. We've got shiny new buses, high-vis road-markings, and a new route to explore, into dangerous, uncharted parts of the East Side Poseidon lands. Hey, even drug cartel bosses need to visit their grannies too, at this time of year.
Merry Christmas, one and all!
