It's a curse and a blessing. I think it shows game developers everywhere that unconventional ideas can be highly successful, and perhaps indicative of people getting bored of current genres and shifting to a totally different gaming experience. Anyhow, I am personally hoping that the mod gets to a more stable state before they put it on hold and embark on the next journey.

I kind of agree with OP. Some more community engagement at this stage might be nice (I haven't noticed as much lately either). It would go a long way in tiding over the communities' collective curiousity and anxiety. I think people are getting a bit itchy. The problem as I see it is that yes it's alpha and all that, but people are playing it as if it wasn't. Probably because it's still so damn fun at times :P. Those people don't understand all the complexities of the current situation, so they get frazzled. I think now would be a nice time for rocket to calm some of those fears.

I think perhaps they are more evenly spaced out? I used to find quite a few within viewing distance of each other nearly every night, but haven't had that for a while now.

^ this. My Mk48 instills horror in my victims, no surprise they think I am hacking.

Hive is down, it will be back up soon. Have patience all.

Rick, I have had that happen to me a few times. In the middle of a forest, spawn in, 5 seconds later dead. So yeah, made me question the odds of that happening (it's not like I spawned in on a hotspot i.e. Airfield, Barracks, Tents or anything).

So everyones heard by now but I might as well say it again here, BE made some false positives :blush:. *sigh*

:huh: stop rustling his jimmies.

Sweet vid.

Gather as much information as you can and bombard BattlEye with it. (In the nicest way possible, they are people too)

Meow.

@unhap that sucks, I suggest you write a well worded email to BattlEye support to see if they will look into it for you. Follow the instructions here on your best chance for your case to be reviewed. Besides that, let's not blow it out of proportion by saying "This many legit players being banned" just yet as we don't know all the facts. I think the affected people should be making noise, but directing it constructively at BattlEye, who knows, maybe there is a problem and it's obvious once they get enough people to inform them how to reproduce it.

That certainly is one possible reason.

This certainly is good news. B) However I am slightly uneasy over some comments people have had in the past about being banned and claiming false positives. I am playing devils advocate here but, is some form of spoofing causing this (relevant thread)? From the BIS wiki they state under the BattleEye topic: So I would assume not, but the tinkerer in me wonders how they could get this to work... I have a few theories. Anyway, if hackers are getting banned, then I feel the natural step will be that they start seeking out ways to get BE to think they are another legimate player. From what I know about how these systems work, i'm not entirely convinced that it would be impossible to do. Then again what do I know... Other relevant links: http://www.battleye.com/support.html

I used to have this gun in my inventory a few weeks back but it disappeared after a patch. I assumed they had already taken it out of the game?
