My profile picture is a better response than anything I can muster up to respond to this thread.

Not sure if you actually read my post or skimmed it, but i'm talking about (sorry) War Z, or Infestation, whatever name they changed it to in order to rid the perception of them releasing a terribly put together game and sold it as a full game. That is how it is now in THAT game. If that was implemented, someone could log out, (still could even do it successfully if a logout timer was implemented), switch to a different server, get teleported outside of town, switch back to the server, and now the player could have the jump on the person they just escaped. Now, the player who didn't ghost has NO idea where the person is, and could get killed by them. I just don't think this a good solution for the problem.

I'm sure many forum users here haven't played much of the game that shall not be named. However, they already implemented a system such as this. If a player logs onto a server, they are now set to that server. If they leave the server and come back to the exact same server, they are logged in to the place that they logged out at. However, if they join a new server, it will spawn them outside the city or area that they were at when they logged out and then "locks" them to that server. Its not too bad of an idea, but it doesn't really fix the server hopping. People just leave and spawn outside the new town, not too far away and can just run back inside. In theory, even if it was implemented, i'm sure there'd be a few instances where someone would be teleported to the "safe area" and gets killed. However, it does pretty much "fix" ghosting. I just don't think its worth it because if you have to switch servers to get with a friend who just got on, it would be pretty obnoxious to get teleported out of your camping spot and into harms way just because you wanted to play with another friend.

Someone could've seen the vehicles, grabbed them and dipped out, not even caring about the tents.

You seem to be asking for a lot of help on the forums tonight. How can you be low on food if there are two of you to scavenge around? A wittle fishy.

My profile picture is my face. Also. You must be new here.

I have an SVD Camo, no mags though. What Assault Rifles do you have?

Also could be tarp.

So, has anyone ever had any really tense moments where things went horribly wrong because you judged a situation poorly? My friend and I had just found a nice Ural. It was one of our first vehicles so we were guarding it with our lives. The only thing it needed was some engine parts and fuel-tank parts. We stopped by a industrial site along the coast to find supplies. As I exited the vehicle... a survivor started running right for the hood of the car. He then brings his hand back, grenade charging to be thrown right through the windshield of our shiny new car. "FLOOR IT!" I scream to my friend. He pushes the accelerator, runs the guy over instantly killing him, and I prepared myself to be blown away. And thats when the tin can he threw at our car didn't explode. Awkward!

Wy you no 1.7.2.5?

Let yourself starve to death. Leave your game on and go do something for 30 mins. Sorry man.

Yeah, I really hope everyone who was saying "You hacked, your fault, enjoy your ban." feels like a retard right now. Heres to hoping my friend is unbanned when he logs in today! Cheers!

My friend literally downloaded the game yesterday, we played for about 5 hours and he was global banned. I played with him the ENTIRETY of the time we were on. However, he logged on an hour before he got banned and was instantly brought to the "You have been killed" screen on a server in which a hacker had nuked the server 30 minutes prior, so I was confused on how he died. However, funny thing is, he was running the latest patch in a server that WASN'T on the latest patch, so, those theories could be correct. Also, for everyone saying that these are all hackers that are raging, you're pretty dense. We're all a community and while indeed, I bet 80% of the people that ARE complaining are probably hackers, but I definitely think that some innocent people are being banned here. And if you refuse to even ponder that thought, then you are a waste of air.

I stepped on the base of that Mountain. Everyone on the server died as we were hiking up. We alt-f4ed in time. We decided it wasn't worth the risk... so we left in our car to pick up our friend. On the way back, the car crashed, and killed all of us. Never shall I go back. Whenever you go to that Mountain, you carry something back with you.

My friend literally bought the game today. We managed to get in about 4 or 5 hours of solid play and he was Globally banned. Believe me or not, but they're banning innocent players. Not all cases may be this, (obviously), but there have been some wrongful bans.
