There has been a lot of this recently I have noticed, I think it's griefing to be honest. Why block the entrances to buildings that holds random loot, why stop others getting in? these people don't live on the server, if we can't get in they can't either, unless they are spawning inside from another server, in fact the more I think about it that's probably the reason they do it. They know each time they spawn in there will be no other players inside, that way they are safe to loot and leave. Pathetic the lengths players will go to secure stuff, kind of defeats the purpose of the project hopping from server to server.

We use teamspeak Supermace.

Were still looking for anyone who is struggling alone or wanting to join up with a good size team. We are looking for survivors over the age of 18 who are team players. Cheers.

I often thought about going out to the Island and just Picking off Bandits on the beach with a scoped weapon, but felt I needed a boat stashed round the back for quick exits and shipping loot around. Nice idea though.

Cheers OtoChan just pop by if your still interested.

@Disgraced, I was going to write a long winded and witty retort to you, but the wife called me for dinner, so all I'm going to say is, yawn.

Maybe he could create a "Knitting module" so we could have something to do while we sit in our Barns, It would also give us something warm to wear seeing as every survivor must be 80 years old and gets the cold after 10 minutes of being in the rain, or maybe the wandering medic could give us all Flu Jabs at one of the Hospitals allowing us to actually go outside and not drop dead from a runny nose.

Get used to what? spending 90% of your time sitting by a fire or in a barn and 10% dodging camping COD fanboys? I'm pretty sure Rocket didn't have the intention of creating a "Sitting on your arse looking at a fire" simulator. As for you Shimmer, I'm not a little Whiner or a kid I'm forty two years old and I have been playing these games since the very first, I didn't just jump on the ArmA bandwagon because I got bored nade spamming noobs in BLOPS you tit, I have been supporting the development of mods for ArmA and OpFp since day one. I'm not as shallow as you and I have the balls to say it here rather than in a rep post. I'm entitled to an opinion just like your are, trouble is opinions are like arseholes, everyone has one and you think everyone else's stinks. Shimmer: "Negative (-1): This is alpha you little whiner." @ Shimmer: negative rep me you wet fanny.

Hi guys, get yourself signed up at www.iogc.co.uk and yes Rayo55 we have a teamspeak server.

It's an Alpha, really? It's hard to express sarcasm in writing.

LOL welcome to the new weather, cold a flu and hiding in a barn shaking from the cold simulator. Seriously the rain just goes on and on, move around for 10 minutes get the shakes, cant shoot straight logs are like rocking horse shit. Rain stops for 5 minutes and then starts again. Cant wait to see if we get snow then I can play Hypothermia online.

Hi mowsytron, get yourself over to iOGC.co.uk and join in with the rest of the survivors in our group. Cheers,

Hi Greengoblin, check our website for more details.

You can always use ArmA II launcher to control the game mate, you don't need to launch through steam. Pop over to our site and I'm sure someone will help with setting it up.

ACRE would be superb tied in with this mod, in fact it would make a HUGE difference. Finding a PRR with short range would great from military camps but if they managed to mod ACRE and replace the 117F man pack radio with say a CB radio that could be found in civilian areas even better, you could tune into other peoples comms by picking up a radio off a dead survivor or bandit, great possibilities.

Hi Big_moosey and welcome to the community. If there are any more survivors struggling out there and your aged over 18, we can help, don't give up.

Hi all, take the safe route to iOGC.co.uk get registered and join in. Cheers.

I have lost a couple of long term survivors, one by bandit that shot me in the back after I spawned in, I did try to avoid him and he took advantage even though I was better equipped than he was (obviously why he selected my character for extinction) by shooting me in the back. I was pretty pissed off at the time and logged out of the game to cool down. When I came back in with a refreshed attitude some miles down the road and a good bit lighter gear wise, I hit it lucky the guy had been eaten and I got my Kit back so I was well chuffed. I didn't immediately decide to go hunt any Bandit and execute them, I'm a survivor and I will try and avoid conflict where I can and only fight back when cornered by an enemy. I now run with the most basic of Kit, Makarov, winchester with plenty of slugs and pellets and my Alice pack. I have lost kit lots of times now but it doesn't take long to get it all back. My thoughts on bandits now, I don't care what they say I shoot them on site, no reasoning, no chit chat just down them and move on. Their little care for survivors lives is payed back ten fold, I get a hell of a lot more satisfaction in killing a Bandit than they do just killing some guy that's just spawned in with a can of beans and a water bottle, I get the satisfaction of knowing that they probably killed lots of survivors, spent more time around bases getting hardware and camping out on some hospital roof. And for all the bandit twits that spout crap in the game chat about "I need help I'm wounded, need blood and will give you my MP5 or whatever if you help me I'm at XXXX location" were on to you, you may draw one sucker in, but when you go to get the loot from him just wait for the sonic crack as the sniper in my party makes a permanent parting in your skull. Now moving in a LARGE group, you may only see a couple of us but there is 15 other guys at my back in the tree line.

A lot of you guys need to wind your necks in. What Rocket is trying to do here is amazing, and if you keep fighting like this you will only endanger the project, stop being so fucking selfish, if you don't like the way things are developing then go back to BLOPS or whatever other game you play and behave like spoiled little brats. As he has said he didn't create this for clans to take over a server, servers were supposed to be donated to the project for testing etc, if you rent a server and agree to the terms they have set out you can't cry about getting a slap on the arse for not following the rules YOU AGREED TO. There is no reserved slot system in arma, it's not an option in the server config file, you can control the server remotely, monitor chat, watch connections, desync and you can kick using the battleye commands just like PB. There is no need for a server admin to say he NEEDS to be on server, you can see people joining with incorrect BiKeys and deal with them remotely. If you are a server renter then you are supposed to be doing this for the community, not so you can whore your own server with your members and spoil the fun for those that are not members and behaving like complete smaktards because things don't go your way. Get with the program guys, this is a fantastic project built for a community, don't let a small group spoil it for us all.

All credit to you for this Rocket and it must be a nightmare dealing with the day to day hassles created by the mod. You and the team have done a fantastic job so far, and maybe in hindsight there should have been a closed Alpha with a limited number of servers and players making it a little more manageable for all concerned in the project. However you look at this it's a damn fine job and you should be very proud of what you have achieved for the title considering the close proximity of the Arma III launch, and how busy you must be with that. I do believe many of the problems arise from the sheer numbers of players and server renters that have come into the game late on and have no idea about the complexity of Arma or any idea of the game and server mechanics itself. This is not just like renting a BF3 server and having a GSP setup slots for you, ArmA requires work to maintain. There will always be unscrupulous players and admins who will take any opportunity to exploit a game to meet their own small minded needs, this unfortunately has been happening since the Operation Flashpoint days and is not as we all know not just limited to this mil sim. ArmA has a great global community as you have stated in your interviews and this is purely down to the fact that unlike many game developers ArmA and it's predecessors were designed with modders and tweakers in mind rite from the get go, and this has kept the game alive for so long. I thank you on behalf of my own community and the ArmA community in general. Hats off to you sir and keep marching on. If there is any small way that I can assist then please let me know.

Hi Raze, iOGC has no ranking system were a gaming community for older gamers and a very relaxed group. See you over there

There is only one rule regarding bandits, they are what they are for a reason. Shoot them on sight. They chose their path, and we chose ours.
