Hello there There are servers out there with the early ethics of the mod. Try unofficial servers which are modded ie Lingor. I have found several, but I shall not post them here lest they get flooded with bandits. They are not 100% bandit free by any means but are more squad based. All are open and non passworded. Keep looking they are out there. rgds LoK

hello there Not particularly helpful. rgds LoK

Hello there Easiest thing to do is download arma2free and see how your system copes with that. That will give you a reasonable real life guide as to how well it will run in actuallity. Just remember a2Free uses low res textures, which in A2 will be more of a strain on your system. Good luck Rgds LoK

Wow, just......wow.

Hello there I have to add, although i am not a bandit i will kill anyone too close to me or if I feel threatened in anyway, no matter the skin or loadout (unless unarmed). I've been killed too often for naught to trust anyone. Sad but true. This is down to greifers rather than the true bandit (which I feel is 1% of the total of all the bandits, I'd love to be wrong) rgds LoK

Shit players or new players? Shit does not equal new. There is a difference. Everyone was new once. rgds LoK

Interesting one. Real, true bandit's (or in reality the threat of any player killing you) were a small and interesting part of the initial dynamic. Now, once a bandit minded chap is kitted out, the safest thing for him to do IS to kill fresh spawns (as well as anyone else) as he then stops other folk from becoming a threat. And the safest way to do that is from a distance. Same with lions and cubs. He sees them as a threat and scoffs them. nom nom nom. Not nice. but true I don't approve of this myself, but understand it from their (a bandit's) point of view. It's a selfish, self preserving mechanism which works. Until a mechanism is put in place to stop that kind of thought it will continue forever. As to bandits contributing to the game. I'm not so sure. If some imagination/roleplay was put into it then yes, I can see the benefit. But as it stands the game may as well not have any Zeds and be just pure DM/team DM. In the beginning of DAYZ, it was usually a lone bandit or two and the rest of the server would gang up to find his sniping spot and put paid to his naughtyness (either that or we all got killed). That I enjoyed. but with so many folk going "rogue" that kind of playstyle is far rarer. It exists but isn't common. Mechanics need to be introduced to allow us all to play the way we see fit bandit/carebear/other but they have to be incredibly well thought out rather than a knee jerk "no PVP/only PVP". The core idea is good but needs tweaking. Then again this is an early test. Back to OP point. Banditry *can* be useful/fun/sexy etc but at the moment, in general, it's a bit sucky. Rgds LoK

FYI not always. It's also a symptom of scripts. check the BIS forums for more info. Rgds LoK

Hello there Right shift and P *may* get you kicked from some servers but will not result in a global ban. Go to Battle Eye's Site and follow their appeals procedure. If the ban isn't legit they will reverse the decision. Have patience though. If you did in fact script then you will receive no reply and you ban will stay. Rgds LoK

Hello there This is a legacy leftover from arma2, so dont blame the mod/dev's. Us arma players hate the flipability as well. A3's new physics should sort the issue and hopefully will have something in the dayz standalone. VBS2 has improved vehicle physics, so there is a chance. Rgds LoK

Spambot? I also agree that the best idea is to try A2F to see if it suits you. Rgds LoK

Hello there check out the Bohemia arma forum for comprehensive info on how to optimise your game via tweaks and strings. Arma is a beast of an engine and makes many PC's weep. rgds LoK

Hello there It's good to see you had an interesting first time! Just remember, the game isn't 100pc solid. Odd bugs will happen and cause you to die and lose your kit, so don't get to attached to anything you find. Happy Hunting. Rgds LoK

Hello there AFAIK it's fine to use. I have had no issues running FRAPS with A2 whatsoever. rgds LoK

Hello there I must have missed it. Mistakes do happen, I apologise if it upset you. Rgds LoK

Hello there Go through BE's appeals system as outlined on their site. If your ban is not legit they should reverse it. It may take some time. Rgds LoK

Hello there, What exactly is BE doing to you or your game experience? rgds LoK

Be nice. Check the bohemia forums, just forwarding info. Rdgs LoK

Hello there Try playing on the lingor map. No issues there AFAIK. Rgds LoK

Hello there AFAIK A3 is supposed to be able to be run on equal hardware to A2 and even lesser due to optimisation/engine changes. That was the info being thrown around on the bohemia forums a while back. Regardless, Arma is very CPU intensive so don't plough all your cash into a l33t graphics card. Rgds LoK

Agreed.

Hello there Well, perhaps the issue is on your end as other folk can find your post with ease? Only very very dodgey posts get deleted. As one can see the forum is full of negative comments about DAYZ, so you are really worrying about nothing, you post will show up for you at some time. If you were expecting a finished polished experience then I can understand your frustrations, but surely you were aware it's at an Alpha stage? All we as players should be doing is testing and reporting back to the devs. Come back in a few months Im sure the game will be in a far playable state. Rgds LoK
