as one of the assholes who tries to take out as many people as i can, i can say that several newbies have managed to kill me over the last week with lesser gear then got their hands on some primo gear. sure, the 6 before him may have failed, but the guy who managed to sneak up on my sniping spot and 1shot me with a crowbar deserved every bit of loot he got from my body. Yes i agree that this game facilitates trolling. But after "winning" at surviving there wasnt many other options to enjoy the game. My crew of half a dozen or so has a dozen vehicles and tents loaded with gear from scavenging towns, other peoples camps and choppers. A couple of times our base was found and we would have to spend hours relocating to another base in the middle of nowhere. Any time we want to go anywhere it takes half an hour before your at your destination ready to do w/e. Add into that unannounced server restarts and our biggest enemies are wasted time and losing vehicles to the server. We got so good at not dying we didnt actually do anything for hours on end and the only way we died was to hackers. The only real options we have left for fun are -mess around with the vehicles in a dangerous manner, ie we have a death rally planned to travel most of the map. whoever reaches the end alive wins. We will lose many vehicles in the attempt. -Start from scratch. when you die, dont get a buddy to pick you up and give you gear. this goes against my nature as i always want to use every tool at my disposal. I ended up joining some friends just getting into the game and have had some fun ( apart from people camping the hills with 107's cutting short our adventures) -have fun directly at other players expense, im not just talking about a KOS policy but deliberately killing people or messing with them for the fun of it. I wont shoot people as they spawn or hack though, thats crossing the line. Conning players has got to be the hardest but most entertaining way to be a bandit, sure shooting someone will piss them off, but what about tricking them? Making them think you are friendly then betraying them can be hilarious and there is no penalty if you succeed. There is always the same penalty for failure though. I think we should steer away from nerfing bandits and focus more on adding things for survivors. Give people a reason to want to work together other then another gun and potential liability. Add teamwork stuff to the game, Some sort of reward for killing zombies maybe, The ability to boost onto a high roof, Greater ability to save someone from death, things like blood transfusions. A bounty system for killing bandits, encouraging a third faction to develop... hunters.

both me and friends have been kicked for idling by battle eye immediately after joining a server on multiple occasions. also have been kicked for idling while playing running round looting buildings

at least this guy was a little more creative then just instagibbing everyone on the server

first time i died to a hacker i was pretty damn sure it was a hacker. first my winchester started shooting chairs. then everyone in the server was given ghillie suits. then a10's rained out of the sky and squished me. pretty sure it was a hacker ;-)

at the moment this is the only chance people have against server relocators. i noticed this effect while trying to save a mate from a car accident. he was standing while unconcious and bleeding out.

My crew has enough spare weapons to make this a non-issue for us. I'm more concerned about ghillies and keeping our vehicles. I've passed on the L85 and as50's we have in favour of a silenced m4, each of our crew has a job and im the designated zombie killer when we scavenge.

when i download the "experimental" 1.7.2.1 offered in these forums i get a message telling me i need a newer version and that i only have 1.7.2 installed. 6 updater hasn't helped either. where can i get the "proper" 1.7.2.1 that the NZ servers require?

Thanks, i already have both of those installed, still no luck. it lets me get right into the game, i see myself spawning then the screen fades to black and shows the text saying i need to update to 1.7.2.1 (which i have)

I have a g19. just go to your logitech keyboard settings and bind a G key to W, then down the bottom of the window set it to TOGGLE. this means the same G key wil turn auto run on and off.

Had this same issue, the .rpt file had some corrupted files at the bottom, either we missed a patch or somethings corrupted our files. most aus servers i couldnt get into, some foreign ones worked. downloaded 6updater, worked straight away.
