How much does the lynx cost on KOTH? (permanent buy)

[Wolf]

I need some confirmation because from this link: https://www.reddit.com/r/armakingofthehill/comments/8dofkg/koth_v10_vanilla_prices_anyone/

I looked at https://i.imgur.com/MB5aWhe.jpg and noticed that the APDS lynx is no longer a perma buy? Can someone confirm if this is still the case?

It kinda undermines the whole point in getting level 50 for me (i feel like its gg @34 with the ak-12 unlocked, or maybe if i perma buy the m320 i'll grind until i get the LRPS for it).

if this is true, this sucks.

meh, you'll still get a reset once in a while, so you're still gonna lose it

Someone said if you stop playing koth your profile gets reset, no way of knowing if its true or not. If it is true i will never play koth again lol.

It was a reset when v10 to v11 happened.

it was because of too many hacked profiles.

[Joe]

i dont know if the same will happen from 11 to 12

I feel like this happens at an alarmingly high rate. Is it impossible for them to key profiles and do a value-check handshake upon connection to the server?

Im a programmer. This is too hard to do and requires some trusted servers. The KOTH Add-On for ArmA is public. Therefore anyone could modify it.

To answer my own question, https://blog.armakoth.com/king-of-the-hill-vanilla-rolling-changelog-71a4a8b5e50c or more specifically: https://dev.arma.su/P5 indicates the level-restriction and cost of every koth weapon for version 11, and yes the level-50 lynx with the APDS rounds is not a perma buy but at least you can rent it for $1000, yay, i mean nay that's dumb as ♥♥♥♥.

OMG it costs $1k to buy the OP sniper and sit 1500m outside the AO and shoot at tower windows. I don't see a problem. If youre dying alot with the lynx you probably shouldn't be using it anyways.

The issue I see is that price forces people to be 1000m+ from the AO just to recoup the investment cost.

It doesn’t affect me however. I will adapt by using the mar-10 for intermediate distances (or the cyrus/asp when I unlock them) and LRR for long range (it's about 90% the same bullet speed as the APDS). If I have to kill people in a tower I will spam it with rpgs and 40mm every time I reach the AO. But really the towers aren't as much of a go-to as they used to be. Now it’s the moving priority-zones that attract people.

I play sniper for aggressive short ranging. so DCNT and Lynx will make 500.
