Hello there With regards to Steam being hacked, I find that unlikely, Steam just screwing up is most likely the issue. Thank you though for letting us folk know. Good stuff. Rgds LoK

Hello there The above goes for me too. rgds LoK

Hello there @OP try the community ban list thread and appeal there. As has been stated, once you get on a list you'll get added to more and more server blacklists. Good luck Rgds LoK

Hello there I have to agree that the majority of "clans" are well organised and friendly, it's just a case of finding the correct one that suits your attitude and play style. (also just to clarify, I wasn't making the assertion that ALL admins/clans were power hungry in my previous post just that it does and can happen and the fact that many mic players unintentionally ignore text I appreciate isn't a deliberate act, but if you are mic based you do have to remember non mic users are people too and are important in game :) ) Rgds LoK

Hello there Why did you enter a windows key? and where did you get it from? rgds LoK

hello there I'm fairly sure that Zed behavior will be vastly modified. They'd be a bit daft not to massively overhaul it. Wait for those Reviews before purchase IMHO. rgds LoK

Hello there Whilst the original suggestion is a little "hollywood" (although it can and does happen, just check youtube and afghanistan), there should be a chance that when shot one drops the weapon due to shock/impact/pain, but it should be a low random chance. Its' already been implemented in some Arma mods. Rgds LoK

hello there To be fair their both as realistic as each other (zeds/slender) but there have been many many threads about this. rgds lok

Hello there For the ftp issue try a "save as" or a different browser. If it still happens let us know all the details. rgds LoK

Hello there This kind of experience can happen in any game and at all ages and nationalities. I had a similar experience on one of the major Arma clans public servers. I wasn't in the said clan but as I was playing on their public server I had expected more of them. They were on acre, refused/ignored me to give me the channel details and I actually managed to get one mumbled response on a vehicle chat who said "We're ignoring you *giggle*", so I asked why and if they wanted me to leave, after repeated attempts I thought perhaps the rude responces were not aimed at me and perhaps at another public member, so followed my squad leader. A few minutes later after following my squad leaders commands (formation etc) we rdv'd with the main group where i had to suffer a barrage of who the "f*** is that guy?" (me)" all the while there was another pubbie who had picked up a gold AKM and was told by his TL to drop it due to the possibility of FF. They moaned at each other for a while and as they started to move off again I had a few lazy insults hurled at/about me and that I should be ignored and what the f**k I was doing there and that i was "a dumb noob, ignore him" Lovely indeed. Suffice to say I no longer visit that particular (popular) pub server. It may not have been the general concensus of the entire *clan* but if that's how you treat visitors to your open public server, then there's not much point in having one. or if it's a few rogue elements surely its up to the clan to reign them in. If I had stumbled on some open event, they also could have advised me as to the nature of the session and I would have left asap with no problems. I could have ignored them and Rambo'ed but that's not really the point of an Arma/ACE/ACRE mission and usually ends up spoiling the fun for everyone else. That's not the standard nature of the Arma community as a whole but it happens and when it does it's bloody frustrating. Many S.A.s and Clan Leaders members do get the feeling they are "holier than thou" and a bad attitude can result. (I also find Mic users tend to ignore written chat which although not deliberately rude is a bad habit) Point being, you're not alone and that these things can happen to anyone whether in game or in real life. Its a damn shame but it happens. You'll soon find folk who play your way and will have a blast with them. Rgds LoK

Hello there Also, why no men in distress? Sexist? Npc Civs, whilst initially interesting would soon pall, unless there was some amazing dynamic scripting going on. If there were dynamically controlled AI factions that interacted with each-other and the civs, + gained/lost territory then I think there's something there. The game engine as it stands is fully capable of handling that. rgds LoK

I'd hate to be swept off into the wond. x

Hello there i too like less than lethal weapons, there have been many threads on this topic already though, might be worth a search instead of covering old ground. Rgds LoK

Hello there No one thinks you are horrible. You have to have quite thick skin to survive on the forums though. rgds LoK

Hello there Some people are just not very friendly. That doesn't make him a kid rather, somewhat sociopathic. rgds loK

Hello there Unusually for me I took the jump and bought BF3 when it came out. It turned out to be a fun little shooter. But after a while was inundated with hacks. If AAA games like BF3, WoW etc etc cannot eliminate scripts/hacks then it's unlikely Dayz will be completely free of them. One has to be somewhat realistic nowadays about these issues. When the standalone comes out play on respected well moderated or passworded servers and that will lessen the scripters impact. Lastly, don't expect scripting to be as prevalent as it is in the Mod. rgds LoK

Hello there If I saw you near me and armed with a DMR I'd equate you as a threat and try to neutralise you too. Probably not an F***ing Kid, just a little paranoid. Rgds LoK

hello there You need CO (OA) to play at this time. Rgds LoK

Hello all I'll keep an eye on the reviews and will follow it's progress for a while to see how it actually turns out rather than snap it up instantly on release and will wait for the hype to die down.. I personally prefer the Mod aspect due to the way the game can be, well... modded. Modability is whats kept me a Bohemia fan all these years. There's always one of their Flashpointy sims on my machines at all times. No other game has had that effect on my PC habits and to be frank without the mods, I probably would have stopped playing Arma years ago. (well perhaps not, it is rather good). rgds LoK

Hello there You can try "gently" bumping it with another vehicle to attempt to get it out. Gotta be very careful though. Rgds LoK

Hello there I too, am against using scripted in weapons. 5 minutes is plenty enough time for a warning. As long as a clear warning is given in case someone new to the game picks up an illegal weapon unknowingly then I'm all fine with handing out bans. If a mistake has been made the person banned can always make an appeal to the S.A. It's a win win scenario. rgds LoK

hello there If he/she is a scripter then, as another poster suggested just keep getting them on Community servers and let the admin know. They'll soon run out of keys. Or Just jangle something shiny in front of them to stop them playing, most cheats have the attention span (and intelligence) of a small tangerine. I'm just uncomfortable in giving out real world info, no matter the reason. Rgds LoK

Hello there I'm not sure handing out folk's facebook pages is the correct thing to do, even if the chap is scripting. Mods? what do you think? Rdgs LoK

hello there Put it on a corpse and "hide body" or just drop it in a bush or water somewhere away from prying eyes. Rgds LoK

Hello there There are ways to implement a darker night, but many servers just override it to give the lighter version. Gamma tweaking has been an issue for online competitive games for years, until we all have perfectly calibrated monitors in ideal lighting situations it's going to be an issue :) rgds LoK
