LOL Durrr.... you don't play for a bit and you forget things! Thanks!!!

Hmm, not seeing it listed any longer, maybe they took it down? NVM found the server.... I don't have a GPS so how do I bring up the coordinates?

Hehe sort of freaked me out the other night. I got onto a server during its night time, but the whole area was lit like we were on Mars. I had saved underneath a nice grouping of trees so I couldn't see all around me. When I finally cleared the trees I realized that therewas a HUGE wall of fire barreling towards me. I ran like I had a horde of Zeds on me. I couldn't seem to get away from it so I had to abort and disconnect. I didn't realize that was even possible in the game.

I'm running the most current versions of all of the software and I'm still not able to see a listing for any of the servers.... so you're not alone.

Not a bad idea mind you, I like the idea of trading stuff.... only 99% of the time you're just going to get a face full of lead. :(

Why would you be carrying 2 watches and 2 binos??

If this were the case then the outfits should be able to be looted off of bodies as well, which they're not. I wasn't suggesting you wouldn't be able to get anything off of your "victim", only that not everything on the body be up for grabs. Hell, make it random, just like the spawn locations (between what they're carrying of course).

I'm sure it's been suggested by others, but what if fellow player bodies couldn't be looted if you've just killed them? It's already like this regarding the different outfits, why not extend it to anything in thier packs or only things that are in their packs, or only their primary or secondary slots? If the drive for most of these people is to simply take what they don't have from other people, then why not take that out of the equation? Granted, it won't stop everyone, players like Smittyjaja there will keep killing for the lulz, but it would diminish the "I want what you have" killings....

Learning which buildings offer loot is the first key step you need to take. After that the game will be much more productive. That, and not running everywhere (Not saying you are....). Running tires you out faster.

Actually with most servers these days the Side Chat is disabled, so the only way to have communicated with him would have been Direct if he had been close enough (60m+ is too far though). I keep getting killed just for the point that I don't shoot unless I'm fired upon. Last time I know it was because I was getting back into my tractor though. Had just gotten done killing several dozen zeds in an apartment ( the spawn inside the building was crazy ) and knew that the shooting had attracted a lot of attention. Well without NVGs at night it's not possible to check an area completely, and just as I was stepping up to my tractor multiple rounds started landing all around me and one found it's mark in my cranium. Not that it would have taken a headshot, some of the zeds had blinked next to me through walls and floors so i was down to half health as it was.

Yeah that's my question as well Hook... do we need to purchase ANOTHER DLC for the game now? I don't know what BAF is from.....

I've noticed a bug after surveying several servers in the same area on the map yesterday and today. The loot spawns seem to have been bugged. The common loot locations either don't spawn anything, or it's usually one of a small group of things- an empty can/coke can, firewood, flares, or the empty whiskey bottle. I've come across a small amount of the regular loot, such as ammo, bandages, etc., but once these items are picked up nothing else spawns in the location.... well at least for the several hours that I checked. I know firewood was added to the loot drop tables, but were frequency and rates changed for everything else as well??

I'm sure that the data server's having a hard time, especially with all of the press the mod's received. I guess a note from the Devs on the matter would help ease tensions some.....

I got everything up and running just as you all were, and also have had the "Waiting for Character to Create" issue. I copied the BattlEye folder from ArmA2 over to OA as you suggested, but have still yet to get past the "Receiving Data" screen without getting bumped to the "Waiting for...." screen. I've reinstalled both the games several times as well as the PMC DLC. Any suggestions?
