Fisty

Yes X1000. It's only used to block doors, doesn't stop zombies, and in the hands of an asshole, can completely ruin a server.

It would be a lot easier if they were slightly more accountable/accessible and I had a better description of my ban rather than Cheating/Hacking which, to my knowledge, does not encompass disconnecting during combat/

Hopefully I can get a response soon so I can stop bumping this, I feel bad shamelessly bringing my post back to the frontpage multiple times.

Bump. Also have something to add, though. My disconnect when I was sniping was about 1 minute after dropping the first of the group of three. I looked it up and apparently it is a bannable offence to d/c in combat. The thing was, I actually had to go, and I clearly had the upper hand in the fight, despite there being 2 of them. From my scouting beforehand I knew none of them had sniper rifles and there was no way for them to see me (800m away in a foggy day).

What of players who have issues connecting to servers? Between my friends we're often stuck jumping from server to server as half of them say 'Waiting for Host' or take an impossibly long time to load. Perhaps a reasonable grace period of one minute after connecting to the server before logging the hop? That would prevent anybody from server hopping for loot because they'd have to wait for the loot to spawn.

I'm uh, a bit lost on what to say here. I had been on US 172 quite a lot throughout the last week, as we'd set up camp on the server, so it's a bit disheartening to get banned for what seems to be no reason. More to the point, though. I'd been playing on US172 earlier, showing my brother the game by sniping on the NE Airfield (I'm an ass, thats not the point). I had to log off after my first kill, though (his name had a snail in it, maybe admin?). I came back after an hour and logged back into US172 to find out that the game had teleported me back to the south coast. And that being a full server, I jumped off and went to a less populated one to make the trek back. There was a break like half way up, where I switched back to the US172 and continued on. After maybe 10 minutes, I was treated with the message of "You were kicked off the game. (BattleEye: Banned (Cheating/Hacking))". I'm inclined to believe that the ban was either out of spite for that guy I had killed (unlikely as it had been at least an hour later) or a mistake =/. Not sure what kind of proof I can provide, but if there's any logs or anything to retrieve I'd gladly go find them. Server: US172 Hosted by: Quebec Community Playername: Fisty Time: ~12:30 (midnight) GMT -4 PS: You may want to add a sticky thread outlining the format for ban appeals, it'd make writing this easier and reading it a lot less convoluted. EDIT: Not sure if it makes any difference but I've been having Warning messages about something.cfg being missing ever since I installed DayZ, I'm very new to Arma II engine so I wasn't sure if that was intended or if it was a bug with DayZ but it allowed me to continue so I did. Anyway I've been playing on another server since sending the message and after disconnecting and looking for a more populated one I couldn't start the game at all (I don't remember the message but I'm reinstalling Arma 2 in it's entirety now). Perhaps this was the reason for my ban, I'm not sure.
