I never had the misfortune to get sent to debug plains.. Now I get the coast on every log in attempt.. Hense why I stopped trying. Also, people saying this is an attempt to resolve the ghosting etc. I've said it like 20 times but noone seems to be acknowledging my posts when I say - What was wrong with the 5 minute passed out timer that happened when you re-logged into a server too soon? I copped it a few times when my net DC'ed and I had no issues waiting the 5 mins, knowing it was actually eventually going to stop someone who had malitious intent. The only issue with that particular chestnut is that it didn't seem to be forced and was more of an option for server hosts.. Worked a charm on the servers that DID have it though.. Force that along with a 10 second log out timer and i'd say your onto something good.. I could be wrong.

I'm not too sure what you mean by the 'jumping' being unoriginal? Other than that I think a lof of your suggestions will be easily implimented if the game ports over to the ArmA3 engine once released. Things such as the moddable weapons will be part of the base engine, and I think seperate items of clothing etc may be possible as well. From what I understand the ArmA2 engine (although extremely powerful) has its limitations, ones which ArmA3's engine will easily handle by the looks! As for now, I think there are more pressing matters to be addressed before we start talking about alterting the implimented features. I think most of your suggestions will more than likely be made into reality at some point down the track though!

I'm not sure if thats official.. People seem to have just assumed this is the case. I've heard reports that the issue is in the bug list somewhere, and I certainly can't see any such features added into the patch notes. I'm hoping it's just a bug as the game is unplayable for me untill fixed.

Thanks man, yeah I know what you mean it would defs look a lot cooler! I was up till like 12 taking the screenshots and it was WAYYY past bedtime when I got stuck into making the wallpapers lol I'll certainly put a bit more effort into the next lot

Thats good for you, but we don't all have home servers. But thanks for saying we should all be punished for not playing how you play.

So basically you better hope that server info is always correct in showing 1.7.2.5 (which it rarely is), otherwise you'll be punished and sent to the beach for a long run to think about what YOU have done wrong... Pretty sure someone confirmed this as a bug from the bug notes or watever so i'm not too worried, just not gonna log in till its fixed. ALSO.. I will add that the 5 minute counter that some servers seem to have implimented upon logging back in too fast was just fine for stopping ghosters. It just wasn't forced on all servers. A simple log out timer and this 5 minute counter on logging back in too quick would work fine for stopping the actual issues (Ghosting/Logging).. Leave the server loot hoppers to their own devises, they'll still eat bullets.

I thought the 5 minute timer on logging back into a server too soon was quite effective.. Only issue is that it only happened on about 10% of servers I was on.. I didn't mind losing 5 minutes of my time if it meant actual ghosters not being able to do their cowardly acts. Anyway asides from that everyone is still talking as if this is DEFINATLY a feature added in by the team and not a bug.. Where are your sourses to say this is the case? The closest I can find is the patch notes saying that if you spawn in debug forrest you will be moved to the beach upon re-logging.. Which I belive worked quite well in the previous patch, when it was implimented. Waiting on confirmation on Devmagic's temp fix too!

You understand that we're not respawning on coast having died.. We're logging in from a game where we haven't died and could be anywhere inland - only to find that we've been moved to the coast on our next log in.. Just seemed like you thought we were complaining about DYING then being placed on the coast, which of course is fine.

Personally if it IS a 'fix' i'm probs not gonna stick around. It takes away from the emersion for me, knowing that all my hours of running will be for nothing. Plus the fact that shoreline snipers are gonna be absolutely loving life now, because the beach-goers that they're targetting will most likely be fairly well equipped.

You're assuming people will stop being hostile to eachother?.. I'm pretty sure that was the intention from day 1 but it whole shouting 'friendly' thing has gone down the sh!tter.. I think all thats going to happen is shoreline snipers are going to have more fun now and get some pro gear from their freshly spawned targets.. Thats.. about.. it.. Again, just my personal oppinion!

Where does it say in the patch notes that this is a feature? People seem to be adimant that this is a feature and not a bug. Personally I cant understand how people are defending this idea, if its meant to be a survival SIM then this doesn't exactly add to emmersion into the game. Honestly if it is a feature then I can't see the point of playing anymore, as I have no aspirations to run for 3 hours, come back the next day and be back where I started. This is just my personal oppinion though, perhaps i'm the only one who feels this way..

Passed up on the mk 48 mod 0!? That things a monster!

I can't wrap my head around why logging hasn't been fixed yet?! As far as I can tell, a simple log out timer or something of that sort would fix the problem quite easily!? I was just around Stary providing over watch for two friends. I noticed a gillie suited guy in the end tent which wasnt one of ours - I quickly hit the dirt and took a pretty damn careless shot (heart was pumping) and missed.. He logged... I kept checking the server's player list to see if anyone was rejoining, as I suspected the guy might try reposition himself and log back into this particular server.. Sure enough two players; Jacob and Hellspawn were conveniently joining the server simultaneously .. 1 Minute later my two friends at the tents get dropped from shots heard miles away. I tucked away behind a car and scoped around and saw two faint gillies in the distance. Unfortunately they had seen me as well and attempted to unload a clip of AS50 rounds into me, from what i'd say was roughly 1400m away. I returned fire only to watch BOTH of the snipers log INSTANTLY as soon as my bullet hit near them. Of course i'm only assuming that it was these two guys who logged in at the time but the pieces certainly seem to fit together. Personally I think this is an easy fix and an important one that needs to be addressed/fixed asap.. But it doesn't seem to be at the top of the 'to-do' list at all..

Remind me never to pick up that shotty haha he took so many shots!! First 2 should have put him down really..

Nah man, I was running for about 10 - 15 mins to where I remembered there was a deer stand. As soon as I got there the server admin on the SE #1 server kicked me for no reason. Tried to join again multiple times but he just kept kicking me (which i'm pretty sure theyre not allowed to do). Went to US 173 and all my items were gone, hadn't picked up anything in quite some time.

Same thing has happened to me twice today - was on my longest survival stint too! Servers where SG #1 and also US 173. The instant i logged on everything was missing bar my main inventory items. Weaps, Backpack, Tools; all gone! Not much point playing till fixed :(
