Date/Time: 2012/07/04 3:19 PM EST What happened: Spawned in the wilderness with nothing left on me Where you were: NWAF What you were doing: Trying to find a server that works, about as rare as a rangefinder.. *Current installed version: 93965 1.7.1.5 *Server(s) you were on: Us70? *Your system specs: Irrevelent *Timeline of events before/after error: Connect to a server, stuck on loading, alt+f4. Rinse and repeat a few times. Finally connect to US 70 to be in the wilderness, completely naked.

Yeah well, US 486 is my clan's server and it has unfortunately been besieged by script kiddies this last week. Spawning helicopters, breaking legs serverwide, summoning everyone at the same position etc. We have been trying to catch them but the logs are usually not enough to pinpoint the user doing the scripting. The only thing we can do is bring down the server when it happens to mitigate the damage caused.

This guy deserves to have his server and guid blacklisted.

You sir, are full of shit. I play on US 486, the server is automatically restarted at 7 a.m and 7 p.m EST. It is also restarted as often as necessary to maintain proper performance which, in all, is never more than 3 or 4 times a day. Exceptionally, the server will be shut down when script hackers are around. Furthermore, the "admins", of which I am not part of, do not "farm" anything. We will check the NWAF maybe once daily, if not every other day. Get your information straight before you come here complaining.

So here I was, minding my own business on night-time, low population servers, looking for downed helicopters north of Novy/Stary Sobor. Lo and behold, I see two guys running through a field. Scoping in with my trusty DMR(+NVG), I notice they are both well geared(M14 EP+NVG for one, forgot for the other..). I decide, eh, a second pair of NVG's never hurt anyone and that M14 would complement my DMR nicely(they share ammo!). I take aim at one's head, he goes down. Follow up shot on the second ones head, he hits the dirt too. Murder count doesnt go up, what gives? I check the server population, they both left before dying. I decide to play the disconnection game with them. I leave, quickly look through the low-pop servers and within 15 seconds, I find the server they are now on. I reconnect, see my little friend out in the field bandaging, pop one in his chest, this time he is down for good. Unfortunately, his buddy never showed up. Elysium members.. Spoils: NVG's, M14 EP, Coyote backpack. :D

No. The tears of people who suck at this game are delicious. If you think it is bad now wait till 500 000 players start at the beach simultaneously. Think there's going to be anything left in Cherno/Elektro to loot? Nope. Hackers will still hack. You'll still be stuck with a flashlight. But you'll all be at the beach.

+1 for camo netting

My suggestion to this problem would be to make camo clothing and ghillie suits thermal-resistant to a certain extent. Be harder to spot. MARPAT and CADPAT have IR coating, dont see why it couldn't be done ingame?

Bump, same hapenned to me minutes ago. Valaden ID: 20473030 This is becoming alot worse than simply spawning in the wilderness(which happened to me like twice or three times a week..), losing everything makes it a whole new ballgame. Hive saving corrupted character location is one thing, saving corrupted character inventory AND location..

F*ck dying to zombies, other players.. Bugs. They should rename the game to DayB - Day of Bugs: How long can you survive before a bug takes it all away?

Honestly, this has got to be changed. Backpacks full? Omnomnom your gear. Tent's full? Omnomnom your gear. Car's full? Omnomnom your gear. At least, with backpacks, you can see the remaining inventory space you have so it can be managed. Cars? Nope. Just poofed the whole contents of my bag transferring items to my car. It was full. Was there any sign or feedback telling me the car's full? Nope. Omnomnom. Unless this happens to be an engine limitation with ARMAII and nothing can be done about it, why is this issue still pending? Thank you.

Hello, hoping one of the admins for US 83 TX 7 reads this. Over the last week or so the server performance has gone down the drain bad. Used to be smooth but now everyone's screen freezes for a second or so intermitently, every 10-15 seconds or so. If you want people to keep playing there, I suggest rebooting the server.

Same thing hapenning to me but I actually died before the chain knocked out deal.. WTF

5 people on the server 3 people on the server You do the math. I have learned to check server population/players like a hawk.

If I have to chose between you and me, sorry mate but your not coming on top. We've all(most of us anyways)been nice, friendly players initially. You see someone, you hesitate, you take one in the dead. Do that a few times and you learn your lesson. Its you or them. You guys complaining about losing an AKM or such, you've lost nothing. I personally won't put my NVG's and DMR in someone's hands.

This is coming from someone who has done external QA(paid) for BIS.. Dale, I think you are missing the point of testing in general. Theres two kinds of testing: professional QA testing and benevolent QA testing. Professional QA testers do it because they're getting paid. If your build sucks, they will still play it, it if sucks too much, they will just tell you right away that testing isn't possible in the curcumstances. IE: Fix your shitty build and send it back, we'll test it. Benevolent QA testers test the game because its free AND MOST IMPORTANTLY because they enjoy the game they are testing, despite its bugs. Break the game, they will rollback to a playable state. When a solid majority of your playerbase reverts to an older version, this right here tells you you fucked up. Either you react ASAP and revert or you risk losing said playerbase. There is absolutely no point in sending a build like this that gets all players killed, losing their inventory and getting them stuck in the first 20 minutes of the game because progress is impossible. What is the point in having a build where you can possibly crash the server for entering the NWAB barracks when NO ONE CAN REACH SAID BARRACKS? The point of a build is being able to playtest all of it, not just the first 20 minutes. Im not getting paid for this, if im not having fun with the current version, I WILL ROLLBACK to a previous state. If you have a problem with that, I will be leaving and you get to test it on your own. Yeah, when I worked QA we used to report functionality bugs. What we also did is report gamebreaking/balance problems, because those are just as important if not more - as they affect the entire playerbase. As it stands, most people are too afraid to test the 1.7.1.4 version in the fears of losing all their shit. You tell me how 10000 people just logging on and losing all their shit with the sole common denominator being "we updated to x.x.x.x version" further the cause of testing?

Anyone have the final word on weapons poofing? What patch/circumstances causing people to connect and be left with just a mak? Don't really feel like losing my gear as doing so wont further the cause of alpha testing at all.

Just wanted to share my feelings on the new patch. As far as the zombie aggro range goes, I would probably put it somewhere between what it was and what it is now. As it currently stands, it is a *bit* absurd. My main issue with this new patch is the amount of zombies that instantly respawn within visual(read: aggro) range of the PC. Best example I can give: If I go to a deer stand and clear all the zombies around it, THEY SHOULD STAY DEAD until I leave the area and come back, like loot does. As it stands, i'll kill them, climb up the deer stand and if im lucky, I wont have one spawn in my face and insta-aggro while im on my way out. TL:DR Zombies spawning within aggro range of players is bad. Having a zombie pop in my face out of thin air or in an area I have just cleared in no way adds to realism. It actually detracts from it.
