Only map is Chernarus, AFAIK.

This should be obvious, but I don't see it spelled out. Should this actually stop most of the hacking issues? Some? Or is it just some sort of preliminary move?

YES, SORT OF. Good idea, but needs something for high (positive) humanity too. Should not happen when "familiar" with someone.

NO People with weapons get free spawn gear (food, bandages, morphine) without threat. Weapons already scarce. Adds nothing to the game (except frustration).

Your penalty for being a bandit is exposing your position to other bandits whenever you kill someone. If you get shot, it's your fault, simple as that. That's the only thing that makes sense at the end of the world.

My only question is if ghillie/camo skins work for the female model yet. I vaguely recall you saying they don't in another thread but I don't know if that's already been addressed or what.

This happened to me when I crashed a chopper. There's a chance the dude crashed the chopper and then everyone got kicked instead of just him for some reason, even though it shouldn't happen at all.

TURNABOUT: You (personally) have decided to quit! You go to somewhere you think is safe! But uh oh, your IRL plans have just been canceled at the last second. Damn, that sucks. You decide to play some more DayZ, but WAIT, you can't because of a really dumb anti-rejoin system! So you wait 15 minutes and rejoin another server, only to find that your spot in game wasn't so secret after all--you've respawned on the coast, with no way to possibly know what you died to or what you are up against if you decide to try and recover your body. ------- You can say that "won't happen" to you, but the fact is that your idea for this is terribly flawed and kind of dumb/childish. A much better solution provided by some other poster awhile ago is that when you logout, you're forced to stay still for 10-20 seconds before it fully logs you out. If you alt-F4 or something your guy is just stranded there for the same amount of time, but that's what you get for force closing. EDIT: And a delay between joining servers is just way too dumb. There's so many reasons you might have to switch that it's not even funny.

I've noticed a pretty significant FPS drop, but still playable.

I was misinformed then, I haven't really played ARMA 2 that much, particularly at night. I was going off posts I've seen before. I hope he at least adjusts it a little.

Long-range mercy killer. I just don't want people to have to go through the shit I've experienced :(. No but seriously, I tend to set up and snipe for sport. Friends with me will usually loot supplies from them.

People sigh and whine about people doing this sort of stuff, but they wouldn't be doing it at all if night wasn't stupidly black to the point where it's unfun--there really needs to be a middle ground where it's possible to ~sort of~ see, but difficult without flares/chemlights/NVGs/flashlights. Sadly, it seems more like a problem with the ARMA 2 engine than the mod itself.

Bandit skins will be gone in the next update. There will still be bandits. PROTIP: Bandits are what this game has to offer. What you're experiencing playing right now is what the game is. You just have to figure out how you're going to handle knowing that. There will not be any "non-pvp" servers or the like, probably ever.

Honestly, this is a really natural progression for players and games both. You'll always have your "power user" group, which is generally more focused on acquiring high-end equipment and doing it efficiently (to use later, of course), and your more casual group which gets fun just out of the experience of playing, regardless of what they have. What it comes down to is just different playstyles, but this isn't really surprising or anything. It's unlikely that it will ruin the game.

I'd like particular vehicles to be more available, with requirements ramping up. For example, a motorbike may not need too much to fix; maybe scrap metal and plain fuel.
