The issue with this is there is a huge skill and experience gap between players. I play as a bandit and will kill anyone on site that I see. Some survivors pretty much single handedly suicide to me. Other survivors are extremely hard to kill. Bandits are on average easier to kill, because they are so eager to get easy kills that they will get into the worst position/situation possible and they are so accustomed to players not defending and handling themselves that they are accustomed to getting easy kills. If the skill gap closed and survivors learn to handle and defend themselves, KOS will be alot harder. EDIT: Also just to point out, I think banditry is really important in this game atm. There is no loot degredation/deflation. Theres just a constant increase in gear if people just loot.

They are also a death trap IRL.

Ive noticed alot of people complaining that sidechat is bad. But lately Ive been playing in some servers that have it enabled and it seems to be building a bit of a community in it. More players are cooperating and helping others. There is more entertainment along those long runs. I'm a bandit and Im focussing on being one, but even I have been tempted to help them out from time to time. Not really sure, why do people dislike it?

Its pretty quick when you do it with a team. On your own its pretty rough though.

Yeah bug, happened to me a few times. Good luck dealing with the snipers with absolutely nothing.

If you are serious about being a Hero, I think its the most difficult role to play. I say this as a bandit. For the Hero he has to deal with Bandits but not every bandit plays the same way, so the hero needs alot of utility to deal with whatever is thrown at him. I really don't think a bandit can really be all that good without a vehicle full of items that can deal with whatever a bandit decides to throw at him.

Who eats beans when you can eat steak?

My Brother mentioned it so I watched some youtube gameplay videos. Wasn't expecting to play it much, now its my main addiction.

Kill everyone you see. Your bandit skin won't go away then. That's all I know from experience.

I see it all the time. Whenever running Im constantly holding down ALT to look in all directions. Have been doing that since I started getting randomly shot in the back from an area I just completely cleared.

You could be right. Ill have to go test it.

Id rather the murder. But despite that, from my experience, a chopper is more likely to be used against you than to help you IE dropping in their mates to assualt me. But at the same time, even if your helping out other players, thats a problem to me. Im a lonewolf bandit. I don't get help. My goal in game is to keep everyone where they belong... on the coast as a fresh spawn where they pose the least threat to me.

Like I said, you can turn the volume off.

I shoot at choppers in the air all the time. I don't think you get what I said or I don't get what you said. Having a helicopter is a huge advantage, thus I try to take out that huge advantage. I don't care about the gear.

Just asking the obvious, but have you tried waiting the 3 minutes for the knockout timer?

Nope, Ive been knocked out on 11.8k blood before.

For those who don't want it on though, for whatever reason, it can be turned off in your settings whilst those who want it on can still use it if the server enables it.

Its kind of difficult to stop it. Hackers stole a bunch of other hackers CD keys and sell the for cheap ($5). Cheaters don't lose much, unless they have been banned by a means other than CD key/Guid. Ive heard rumors that players have hacked and bought another CD Key only to have that CD key banned right away before they have hacked, but I don't know if thats true or not. The game has alot less hackers now than it did a few weeks back, but theres still some time to go before thats at a respectable level. I remember a little while back I couldn't go an hour without being killed by a hacker. Seems like I can go a few weeks now.

Yeah guys there is a legit ammo box that has 30 clips of ammo of 3 different types. It spawns at heli crash sites. Ive also found them in the barracks at NWAF.

Ive had zeds destroy windshields. Never the engine. I can't imagine destroying an engine hitting it at the speeds your generally going through populated areas. Although I guess as far as arma is concerned, the radiator and other parts of the vehicle like this are considered part of the engine, which I think is likely to be destroyed at these speeds. I could imagine running them over would damage wheels as well. When I see Kangaroos (dead or alive) on the road I do everything I can to miss them because the bones can pierce tyres.

Hackers tend to roam from server to server from what Ive seen. No server is safe. No player is 100% safe, except for server admins.

I kinda wish this or some other method to prevent griefing whilst afk. I was considering taking some time away from searching out and killing anyone I see and burying their body so nobody can take their loot. But whats the point. Ill spend hours collecting the gear and repairing it. Have a good nights sleep and then reconnect to the server tomorrow and someone will have stolen and/or destroyed it already. I guess Ill just go back to coast camping since everything else will just be a waste of my time.

It might help. But at the same time Ive noticed one thing that won't be stopped by it. What I used to do before giving up on vehicles was to shoot out the wheels before logging out. I kept and collected spare wheels and kept them in my pack before logging out. Problem was, players would find the vehicles and when they realize they couldn't drive them they would destroy them. Whilst keys would resolve the issue with players stealing vehicles easily and save me from having to shoot out my tyres, it wouldn't resolve the hackers who are griefing players by destroying their vehicles. Its the same issue in the end. I can't protect myself whilst Im not online. If this is a real simulator, when Im offline I would be resting or sleeping near or in my vehicle and theft would result in the death of either me or them.

Id say its the quality of servers. Im from Australia. Thing is I mostly play on US servers. Despite averaging a ping of 180-250 on US servers, on average I get much better FPS. I think US servers might be better than what we are getting in Australia/NewZealand.

Yes there are ways to appeal it. If your serious that you didn't hack or use scripts or any other cheats for that matter, then appeal it. There have been false negatives in the past, just as there have been with most games that have had a fair amount of hackers. TBH though, I can't help but feel something. Your coming off as sounding like a hacker having a sook because he got caught. Just putting that out there. I may very well be wrong. You also come off as being fairly young. In that case, go appeal and let us know how it goes.
