i wub pugs

I just spawned after playing a couple days ago. Spawned west of Balota. Then turned into a bandit. I did shoot a survivor the last time I played, but I had 2500 humanity and 1 murder has never put me into "bandit" before. I dealt with it and figured it was just because one murder gets you into bandit now. However, none of my gear has saved. I had to hop out of the server a couple times at Balota. All of the zombies were dead and I was alone in the tower but I was in a fight with a survivor who was hiding from my AKM, I told him to come out because I had never intended to be a bandit, he wouldn't so I just DC'd because I had to go anyway, saved (I guess, it's not showing the save timer anymore) and then came back about 30 minutes later and I was back at the same spot, but with just the standard noob gear. I had had that AKM for probably 10 minutes. So I just scouted for more loot and found some more stuff on and then went down stairs, but I had to DC again, so I laid down in the grass with all my new loot (nothing special, just some makarov ammo and I think a soda), saved (again the timer isn't there so I don't know), and then came back about an hour and a half later. I guess it's saving since I'm starting in the same place, but I've lost my gear twice. Maybe the switch to bandit (originally I don't know why!) is causing my character not to save it's loot??? I'm on 1.5.8.2 and I was in NZ3,4,1

Just had this happen. Was doing the Cherno run then I ran into an apartment and got gang raped by zombies. Bled out rather quickly. Respawned with about 3k blood with the hourglass. Waited it out. Tried again. Happened again. I will keep trying. I'm using 1.5.8.2 and I was on servers NZ1,3,5

A: This mechanic does not exist in ArmA B: It does exist in several other games, I suggest you write those Devs and tell them to make a game that doesn't suck.

Done.

Did you know that this is a mod for ArmA? Hitpoints? Come on man, don't do this to us. The solution to the problem has been given time and again but here it is again: When you die, your character is dead, then you get a new character or "respawn anew". You should then take that new character and run into the nearest woods. Repeat until you are safe.

I do not speak spanish, but your server has an awesome ping for me here in California so I play on it frequently. Although on some days it crashes repeatedly.

Can't use CZ scope with NVGs.......... you need one of the two fabled NVG Scoped weapons that only spawn at helicopter crashes........... actually I should say "rumored" to spawn there.

+ 1 Good Sir.

hmmmm, spawning randomly in the middle of nowhere. This sounds more difficult. You'll no longer have the reference of the coast. I am for it.

Bandits are not my problem. People that look like survivors that shoot me in the back with a Makarov are. At least when I see a bandit I know I can maybe kill him for some decent loot. The scared guy with the Makarov is just a dick. Solution, I shoot everyone when I'm playing by myself unless the other guy makes some gesture that he is friendly, sit, salute, eat some beans, fucking anything other than pointing a weapon at me.

Zombies are stupid anyway, once you have a shotgun and a .45 it's pretty much game over for Zeds. What do I want? An environmental system that kills us. I want matches to be scarce, wood not so much. Anti-biotics should be found at hospitals easily, but make the spawning of medicine slower. I want wounds to fester without anti-biotics. Slow agonizing deaths. If you want to survive on your own then you better be really good at sneaking in and stealing stuff. We should be forced to work together through hardship. It's better to share a fire and medicine and food than to be a lone wolf. I want us all to die unless we adapt.

Get out of the tank and report it to the server and the Dev team.

I've already responded repeatedly with a timer suggestion with a way to implement it. You are immovable in that you think any disconnect for any reason should be punishable. I say it will kill the game, because it will, it's killed every MP game that has ever tried it. You need a balance that makes the player weigh disconnect over fight/flight. Btw, every bit of my post addressed something you brought up. And my "attacks" on you are only in response to your underhanded slights about how only people THAT PLAY JUST LIKE YOU ARE THE ONLY LEGITIMATE PLAYERS and then you go on a tangent about your gameplay. I don't care if you are an ACRE tester, you missed the point of my post. Split the two TvT teams into different channels or have different radios they don't know about. I know very well how ACRE works, the best feature simply being local comms vs over the net comms separation. Maybe we weren't using it the right way according to you, but it works.... besides why are we talking about awesome realism mods in here......... oh yeah, you had to toot your little horn. Bottom line: You want everyone to play in OUR SANDBOX, YOUR WAY. I think a middle ground where you have a 15, 20, 30 seconds whatever timer after you have patched up your wounds would require shooters to be sure that that first round means something and the people that got shot have to book it to cover, patch up, and then hit the abort key and wait X amount of time paralized........ if they move they have to hit the abort key again. Your idea of even having people wait for 5 minutes is just flat out too long. So I hit abort and I'm in the woods and I walk off to go get a drink, then I come back and I'm dead because after waiting for 4 minutes, some random guy stumbles on me and now I'm dead. If you can come up with a decent time limit and a way to implement it as I have, then maybe I'll hop on board, but really dude...... 10 minutes? You'll kill the game. And just so you know, since apparently you don't understand the point of ArmA since you don't think Domination or Warfare or whatever I play is a good example of TvT. This is a sandbox, it's not the scenario, nor the mods, or any other thing that you think you can place in the game to make it more realistic. ArmA is a terrible game, both in SP and MP if you don't have the right type of people willing to work the same way for the same goal. I can conduct a successful squad operation against an objective manned by bots and players in domination the same as I can conduct a squad operation against just players in X game mode. It's not the game mode, it's the effectiveness of the team in executing the mission.

I know you were a bandit because you spawned in the barracks and you shot me in the back. All of the doors were closed and I spawned in the bathroom so you either snuck in the front door or spawned in the bathroom too while I was eyeballing that 7.62 ammo crate. Kudos to you, I would have done the same thing if I saw a survivor with an alice pack and an M4 Holo 203. I hope you enjoy that M4 since I was looking for ammo. You ended 3 days of life. I hope you needed NVGs, those were taken off a bandit on Saturday by one of my Platoon Members and then I took them off his body when a sniper got him. Really the only thing that I didn't have was a GPS. You may be wondering why my entire ALICE Pack was full of medical supplies. Well, you've just denied the Happy Fun Time Platoon of 9 Blood Packs that I walked from Berezino along with all that Epi, Morphine and Pain killers. Did you need an E-Tool? We'll you have one now. How bout that tool kit? Enjoy Bad Luck on my part, I've been canvasing the NE AF on night time servers for a while tonight. My misfortune to land in a daytime one (not correct time in Virginia). Anyway, massive loot for you, hope you have buddies that needed those medical supplies.

Barbed wire needs to go away until zombies are kept out by it.

Eh, I would down for Takistan if it was more of a Mad Max thing. No zombies, maybe mutants with clubs and stuff and guns were really really really scarce. All Takistan buildings are enterable btw.

Its also funny that we are dealing with "normal" infections in a zombie game, where traditionally if someone is "infected" they are a zombie. I told him not to cough on me, but he wouldn't listen. Also apparently infections in Chernarus are so severe that you start showing symptoms within minutes after catching them... Indeed, the place is a shithole. Have you been to Cherogorsk in the day time? Gun shots all the time. I'll never vacation there with the wife and kids.

As a community as a whole we could stop the: "Shoot first, ask questions later" mentality. You can always get more beans or a backpack, but you may not find another friend. Doesn't that sound sweet?

It's nearly 3pm on the West Coast, so 6 pm on the East Coast. The sun should be up on all servers. Also if the mod is set to a winter month, 6 pm may be dusk or even after dusk.
