Or your customers are lazy and cry about a FREE game with a 225 square kilometer map they volunteered for and are complaining they have to walk far and instead they want to respawn? The respawn system was already broken. Now it's considered fixed by most people because it was already causing issues and was being abused.

No need to be confused. You can never please everyone. Some bottle to whiners, some tell whiners to bottle it.

There are also hacking 'addicts'. People who WILL pay time and time again for new hacks and new CD keys. I know a few online. They're not friends of mine, but I've talked to them about it out of interest and they will admit to being hackers and will never stop hacking. Thankfully, they're in the minority.

OH DEAR GOD NO. Spawn-killing is already an issue.

Trust me, as someone who plays Source-based games competitively I know all too well how resourceful hackers are and how widespread the hacking community is, it's a sad state of affairs and I'm the first person to stop gaming and take every step to ensure someone gets reported, and I take an enormous amount of my time to do this even though they'll just create another account or buy another copy of the game for a new key and the process starts again. However this is an awkward step for the hacker and it generates more income for the company so I'll do it every time, even if I'm not gaming. And that's just as sad, but one of us has to quit sometime and it ain't gonna be me. That said I can see that this system would directly affect the hacker's griefing frequency or temptation to grief or start hacking but the main issue I want to cover here is not the relationship between ALT F4ggotry and hackers, but primarily to add risk to an ALF F4 event. These issues need to be tackled simultaneously to be effective. There are plugins that have been designed by community members for other games that run server-side that detect hack events, not the hack themselves and prevent them from being effective. These are excellent since they cannot be worked around if the server is legit, but the admins can choose to just not use the plugin. We would simply then avoid servers that don't have the plugin installed, and immediately the effect of hacking is reduced. If only we could create such server-side plugins and distribute them? I would but I'm unable to code one, but I'll look in to it.

inventory duplication exploit possibility :(

Please link to any and all games you've "made". Also, it's in alpha. Shit's gonna change overnight. The point? To experiment and get the release candidate right. Deal with it.

I disagree that you're punishing players by including a timeout. Most games have it to force players to either log off safely or take the risk of being a lucky bag.

Numbers updated. Adding other suggestions in a minute. Thanks for taking part guys. Keep the suggestions & votes rolling in.

I'm suggesting a timer for all disconnections. I know the game is harsh as it is, and this will help hackers, griefers and script kiddies design a script that teleports people who are in limbo waiting for their character to disappear so they can just shoot them, but it stops people who are running from a gunfight. I hate the cowards more than the hackers to be honest.

I've paid for the last 4 years of Eve Online with in-game money. I play it for free. I play Dayz for free. Most of my Steam games were gifts. I play all those for free. Out of about 110 games, I've bought about 8 of them. ARMA II: CO included. I played Rift for free with codes given by Raptr promotions. I played that for free. So for most people MMO would come with bills. Mine don't. Not if you're doing it right anyway.

Yes.

It's a free alpha. It'll be a free beta. Then it'll be a closed release candidate. Then it'll be $15 on Steam.

Was that a fucking tumbleweed just now?

I think any bush should be available to harvest leaves from, and change wookie camo to different colours. Also, I wouldn't allow leaves in inventory, not realistic. You should only be able to change camo at the bush you're getting the leaves from.

It's called meta-gaming.

Or... someone with a grenade, upset that you didn't leave all your shit in there, or didn't like the shit in there.

I want to be able to collect ears and wear them as a necklace.

My face when

They might just want to cam up. a/s/l?

Bown chicka wow WOW. You got a friend with a female avatar or what?

I still don't know why TK421 wasn't at his post. :(

What server you on again? ^_^

Excuse me, but you're in my van...
