I've been on multiple regular servers now, such as Chicago, KC, and others, where I had been able to open my map and view other players near me, or in the same town that I am in. I can also see multiple map markers which some people abuse and draw things with... I don't remember ever being in a regular server, and having the map markers appear for me. Example: I can see myself on the map... If I'm traveling with my friends, I can see them as well. If I'm in a town, I can see most other players too if they are nearby. I don't know if this is just a bug or what... but I hope its not a server-sided add-on aid that is there to simplify the game because that would not be too fun. Right now I'm just sticking to the Veteran servers, they seem to be consistent and normal, no silly things like name-tags or players on the map. In my opinion, they need more veteran servers... Anyways discuss and help me to understand this better. I can't tell if someone is hacking, or it is a server-side option that the host enabled. Also, please excuse my wall of text haha...

So someone is hacking on the server that it happens on? because I went to like, 4-5 servers and a lot of them had the same thing happening.

No it ruins the mod... based on your attitude and the way you are presenting yourself through text' date=' I take it you are one of the care-bears who oppose PVP and disconnect as well. [/quote'] If i got a euro for every time you said carebear I'd be rich lol Actually you'd have 2 Euro's ;) lol

If all some people are going to do is gripe and complain about PVP on the forums and in game; All I can say is either get over it and understand that PVP isn't going anywhere, or leave the community. Because quite frankly, I'm tired of all these care-bears playing this game thinking they are going to survive forever with their gear when they make stupid decisions to begin with. Learn to play and adapt.

Hmm... NO!

I agree completely, reduce the increase in humanity. You don't need something to work for as a bandit, you need to survive as a primary target in the eyes of others. Not sit around the coastline killing new players. @Freeborne It is not about who has the lowest humanity or who is more deserving of being a bandit. He might have a different play-style than you. @aop +1 for being a real bandit. ;D

I'll add my two cents... This mod is going in the right direction in my opinion. We need to continue focusing on improving stability, and eliminating bugs. That being said, I just am not happy with all of the complaining going on. Pardon my french, but fuck the "No-fire zones/Safe havens", quit being fucking pussies and actually learn to survive without making commonly-known stupid decisions. Yes I know there are bandits out there that are ready to spend a couple of hours and bullets into tracking you slowly, resulting in a clean kill and a loot. But thats the game, and if you can't keep up with the smarter players out-playing you, then get out of here. I'm seeing more and more players who think they are pretty much invincible with all their gear and NVGs, and they just don't know how to survive and properly make decisions based on the consequences that could happen. Is it really worth headed to Cherno with all your gear to loot the hospital? Is it really worth crossing that large plain, instead of taking the long, but safe way around using the treeline? It might take longer, but hey, that could have been the decision that saved your life. I've been alive for a long time now, I've been going slowly, in a SMALL group with people I trust. Quit running around like headless chickens and you could do this too.

There are other things that need more attention before we start doing things like this... Not now.

Rocket hit it head on with his post, And i have gained an abundant amount of respect for the man. He is absolutely right, it is up to us to form and mold this game, not a script. Rocket if you do read this, Thank you for the refreshing speech, I respect that you are not buying into the modern gaming industries ways by "Attempting to reach out to a broader audience" and I will continue to stick by the game until the end. Thanks!
