Hive is being ddos'd. Twitter has a guy called 'greenarrow' (new account 2 tweets to date, all connected with this attack), basicly claiming responsibitly for the first attack, and then a second tweet, spreading the new hive IP, probably to other skiddies that have been banned, to try and propagate the attack. Retarded children like this, will be getting a visit, from whatever local cops call their shambolic 'cyber' force. It may take a few months, but this derp will only leave a trail through various ISP's and proxys that spill the beans (why you no protect the beans?). Twitter will not flinch to hand over ip connection info.. If that IP connects to any Tornet IP, all is still not lost for the feds.. Large scale ddos's generaly leave traces either way.. and a buttsore script kiddy with some cloned CC details should probably take 2-3 months before getting a knock on the door..

I have some piano wire in the cupboard.. I can send it to any country that you find the little shite (and his friends) residing in.. DDos and post it on twitter? Really? 'cause you got banned for hacking? lol.. probably the most retarded thing I have ever seen.. The cause may be even more retarded than the retaliation. Close call 'tho.

Annnnd, for all the above posting, I alt-tab out to check in with a TS server.. and alt-tab back in to a bullet in the back of the head.. The guy that got me has some nice stuff tho.. all tools, map, compass, tool kit, etc.. everything you could want. and he likes the barns to the west of the NE airfield, on 'Sacred Warriors'.. might want to check around there for some tents etc :) And guess what, 1 hour later, I have a primary, some tools, am 1/2 way to a nice loot point, in - out inside 15 mins should give me everything I had before.... I still don't see what the fuss is about (I did have to zig-zag up a few hills to loose a few zed's), but.. meh.. it wasn't an epic panic.. So, no starting equipment? Doesn't really make any difference, apart from focing people off the coast..

They will' date=' but you need to give it time.. When a new office block is constructed, the insurance company will factor in a premium, to cover the breaking of windows, inside a certain time frame, from idiot kids in local area.. after a certain time, they stop because they get bored.. it's cause and effect.. I'd love this to be the mod for everybody, but you can't please all the people all the time.. Sometimes, you might just have to say, 'This isn't my cup of tea', in which case, thank you for time spent here, and we hope to see you in another universe, at some time in the future.. (I agree that some people can't articulate a goodbye to comunity members, that don't like the mod, but it doesn't help when those leaving members shout 'FUCK YOU THIS IS FUCKING WANK BECAUSE I DONT LIEK IT FFS ONE!!!1'). Right I'm going to stop this critique, on this point right here, becasue you obviously have no idea what people that consider themselves 'HC' with Arma2, actually bother to go through, to make sure they ARE 'HC' .. I'm not; I won't claim to be, but I won't bother fiddling with gamma settings to make it easier... the people that you consider HC, if they fiddle with the gamma, are not 'HC' (your definition), and your petty insinuation, that they do, will not earn you any favours, even from myself, and I am absolutly NOT Arma2 HC.. The realism is coming, but, since this is an alpha test, you have to keep playing to make your voice heard, not throw your toys out of the pram when it bites you on the ass.

The crossbow, is actually very good when used in a team. You can get 4-5 people through a corridor of zed's, into a town, with no noise, having the people coming behind to pick up the bolts. It's offensive only really, but, quiet, and good for clearing a path... just don't expect the weilder to be carrying much loot back.. What the x-bow needs is a change in the core arma game to put bolts into the gear of dead targets, and for bolts to be quivered into 5's... it's punishment enough with the reload speed, and CH+ADS to be so widly off..

This This is the problem I'm having with hatchets as a weapon. Revert hatchet back and let people have the crowbar. +1 We need the hatchet as equipment.. there must be other melee weapons that could be introduced instead, OR let us gather wood from forest floors by hand.

Right, you know the server description? That is updated by the admins.. and here's the thing.. a lot of admins will update the server.. but not the description, until a bit later anyway.. so most of those servers that say 1.7, are probably not.. Here's a good way to test.. launch the client in 1.7, and try to connect.. if you have no debug window or sound, then you and the server are running different versions. The basic problem here is that the admins are not updating the description..

Job done

Incase no one has noticed.. the crossbow now seems to be 1 hit kill on torso of Zeds, and the reload speed has been halfed.. It used to be that you had to wait a few seconds after the reload animation, before you got a green on the top right.. now it goes green at the end of the reload animation... This is with 1.7.1.1 Just sayn'..

If you can't see the bolt, then you can't pick it up.. However, if you have another player with you, they may be able to see it, as it, or the body, may be rendering in a slightly different place. If you go prone, and place you head insde the model, you can usually see the bolt, but you might not get an option to pick it up.. Best thing to do, would be to place the bolts onto the gear inventory of the corpse... it's easy enough to loose bolts anyway, since the thing doesn't shoot straight to start with :) Oh, and make the fins blue.. yellow fins in grass can be near impossible to spot....

Assuming you're talking about the version of Arma2, and not Day Z (current Day Z is 1.7.1.1), you'll need to install the latest beta patch as well.. http://www.arma2.com/beta-patch.php Top Link. If you're still having trouble, this youtube vid is probably the best install guide I have found..
