MothMan

Tagging this for later.,

I just lost the L85 last night to a hacker kill :( but had the gun for a few nights, and in some ways it's awesome! The ammo isn't too hard to find, the thermal scope is awesome, it's not too loud, it's got two zoom levels. For me the downside was that it's almost impossible to use if you get in a bad way with a zombie horde, but that's the case with any scoped weapon, not a specific problem with the L85 (hard as hell to hit something close to you with a scope).

Playing last night with in a group of 4 ([TWG]TheWiseGuy, [TWG]Geminisis, Azirith, and me, [TWG]MothMan), on US 738 Seattle. Around midnight, we started to see global chat spam, then at approx. 12:27am, just east of Novy Sobor we encountered a player laying prone in the middle of the road. The lead player in our group put 2 Enfield rounds into the player while the target was stationary (we weren't even sure if it was a living survivor or a corpse), at which time the other player stood up and started firing back with an unknown weapon (full-auto assault rifle of some kind). Our team lead figures he hit the target at least one or two more times as the target left the road to go behind a bush. At the same time I scoped the target with my L85 from about 100m, and on full-auto, I think I put at least 10-12 rounds into the targets body before he hid behind the bush and we all lost sight of him. Our team leader was then killed. Our team all proned, while the target was spamming shots our way. We lay prone for about 10 seconds, looking for the target, at which time I was suddenly killed from an unseen killer to my side/rear, close range (two shots, sounded like auto-shotty fire). Within 5 seconds the last two members of our team were killed in a similar way (unseen killer, close range). Once back in the game lobby, within 10 seconds, we saw what appeared to be most of the server being killed, one after another.

Last night I killed 2 goats (badly needed meat) and their corpses both disappeared within seconds of me killing them. I like your glitch much better.

I've also encountered this at the Green Mountain tower, at the northern firehall in Elektro, and various other random places.

I've never used a CZ or DMR, and have only ever found a single Heli crash that actually spawned loot, yet I've looted the airfields multiple times. In broad daylight. I've never been killed at an airfield yet.

Started happening to me today too, Corrupted Memory #0

Probably a noob question, but is it possible for me to revert my game back to 1.7.1.5? After installing the latest update (via SixLauncher) the game is unplayable for me. Took me a good hour to finally connect to a server, and after I did, I found the game lagging horribly... literally was dealing with one frame per second. Left the server and tried others, and then realized that the whole thing is broken for me... even in the games main menu, I'm dealing with about a frame per second. =(

Last night me and 2 friends were playing (US77, I think was the server), and while looting a house we spotted another player running by outside. 2 of us tried Direct Chat (text) and realized it wasn't working... it would appear to work to the person doing the typing, but the communication didn't show up on-screen for the other 2 people, despite the fact that we were all sitting within a couple meters of each other. Was this just a random glitch, can/do some servers turn off ALL communication? I believe when we joined the server (via SixLauncher), it fed us an Arma2 beta patch update, so maybe it's a glitch with that??

Again, I have to ask... if people are so afraid of folks "farming this server" for l33t gear to use against players on other servers, then why aren't those same people crying about me (hypothetically... I've never actually done this) looking for an empty server (or near empty) and logging in to "farm loot" there? I'd be under much less threat doing that than I would playing on this *supposed* pk-free server... because there will always be pk'ers, despite the title of the server. But in an empty (or nearly) server, I truly would be free of pk threats. How is one an exploit, but the other is not? I'm not trying to be an ass, I am honestly trying to determine the difference. It's not like this server has *disabled* pvp... they've simply (apparently... or maybe it is just a massive troll) tried to attract/encourage players looking for co-op. We've yet to see any evidence of people actually being banned for PKing, have we? Really the B&Ming about this is ridiculous. Would the anti-coop players cry as much if the server was named "Co-op encouraged"? Would that soothe their sensitive nature?

Posting to tag thread for later. Thanks for posting this and setting it up. =)

I have never had the M14, so I'm not a fair judge... but did want to say that I've had the Kobra for the last week or so and love it. I agree with WhiskeySix... Ammo is relatively easy to find, each mag holds lots of rounds, the iron sights are great.

Those defending the mods vision, which includes PvP, have valid points. Those lamenting the proliferation of kill-on-sight-for-no-reason players have valid points for why they are wishing for something different. But the handful who are crying about a PvE-only server being a way for players to too easily "farm loot" ... well, ironic tears are the most delicious. Most of these knuckleheads are the ones hiding on a ridge in the treeline picking off targets from a mile away, with a rifle they looted off some poor sap who busted his ass for it, then gathering what loot they desire from their new kill, only to do the same next time someone else wanders by. Yeah... that involves a lot of risk... Get a lucky kill or two, get set up, then hide in a hole and kill from a distance where there is essentially no risk to themselves. Yeah, that's real hard, yo. Yet people who want to have a bit of freedom from those turkeys, and actually hunt for that good loot themselves, or with friends, having to work much harder/longer to gather that decent loot than the All-PvP-All-the-time crowd... those guys, those guys are carebears... Not only that, but, as others have said... why not go after the servers hosting a low max player #? Or why allow people to log into a server that currently only has a handful of people logged in? At any given time there are TONS of servers that are pretty much (if not completely) empty, that people can log into. It's no different. face_palm I love this mod, and love where it's going. I enjoy the community. But the amount of crying, especially the ironic tears accusing OTHERS of whining simply because they offer different viewpoints... no other online community has more of it. LOL I especially like when a patch causes some aspect of the game to be uber hard, people complain, and there is always that core group who proclaim how much they LOVE how hard it is, insult everyone else for being weak, and talk about how "this is the way the mod is SUPPOSED to play, this is Rocket's vision!" And then 2 days later a hotfix rolls out, explaining that the previous difficulty was broken, and is now reduced... and those people never realize how much they are making idiots of themselves. LOL

I'd like to try to hook up as well (does that sound dirty?). I'm a 38 year old hubby and dad, and life generally doesn't allow me to play until around 8:30pm or later, once kids are asleep. I'm in BC, Canada, so in the pacific time zone, which may cause some issues, I dunno... depends on what time of day you guys play. Been playing the mod for many weeks off and on, and enjoy it, but have spent 99% of my time playing solo, not having any friends who play it, and never managing to successfully team up in-game. Would definitely like to give some group play (again, not intended to be dirty) with some mature, fun, folk a try. I also appreciate that you play on normal servers, and aren't all hard about hardcore gameplay.=) My Steam name is "keldorr", my in-game name is "Mothman".
