I did, and from that I deduce that you're suggesting we shouldn't be able to kill two people in short succession, and I think that's really silly. Also, I'm currently studying psychology, and I won't be the first to tell you that no two people are wired the same. It might shake one person to kill another, but for yet another person it might be as easy as it gets. The banditry system is fine as it is right now. Changing it by punishing banditry will remove a large part of what makes the game what it is. We're always going to have to deal with CoD players, but they're going to be there regardless of whether banditry is punished or not.

Not being sure whether you should trust people or not is part of the appeal of the game. Complaining because you can't tell a survivor from a bandit is really silly.

Right now, I am waiting for the hourglass to tick down so I can do ANYTHING in-game again. 2 minutes and it's about a third done. I mean, really? Can't even access the escape menu to hit respawn. And it's not even my fault I'm passed out. I logged out so I could switch ISP accounts, and when I got back I was passed out. This is the second time I'm passed out after a simple disconnect, when nothing was wrong before. Please change passing out so we can at least access the escape menu. This will also fix that bug where people stay passed out for 20 minutes, unable to do anything at all.

I've got a rule on my server that you're not allowed to use the persistent world as an exploit. It's part of the RoE on my server. You're not allowed to server-hop, and you're not allowed to disconnect if you attack other players and they fight back. Seeing as Rocket used to have a script which prevented exploits of the persistent world system, I highly doubt anyone could have any issue with this. The only reason the security measure isn't running is because Rocket said it placed an unnecessarily huge amount of strain on the hive server. If using exploits is part of the testing, then I assume cheating is too? It's fine to report exploits you've found, but continuously using them in-game? You're really defending that?

Really sucks that people would do that. :/ This guy sounds really suspect. If I spot him on my server again, I'm banning him. Don't need guys like that ruining the game for others.

This exact same guy killed us on the ZA1 server today! Also at Devil's Castle. Me and 3 players came up there and he shot all of us. He also did it with an AK47. Is he skipping through servers? We thought it was really strange, because everyone on the server was still relatively new so very few people had started venturing away from the coast and we might have been the first ones to actually go that deep inland. We also literally told nobody where we were going. Hell, we weren't even sure where we were going. It's possible he followed us and ran ahead, but that's very doubtful, as then he could have just killed us the first time he saw us. It was just way too much of a coincidence that he happened to be right there in the middle of nowhere at the same time we were.

I've set the ZA1 server's time back three hours, because playing at night is fun, but a lot of people only have time at night. This way, there's a few more hours of daylight in the evenings.

The shock? I was standing on the beach, hadn't even started playing yet, then I disconnected because I had horrible lag.

I shoot everyone on sight, so no, I discriminate against everyone equally.

My first murder? A guy called Vanguard. I had just started and was happily running around the back of a house when his head popped out. We stared each other down, then when neither of us seemed unfriendly, he came out. That's when I shot him full in the face. I still cry about it in my sleep sometimes. Second on was Zala, and that's a bit more elaborate. I was coming up just outside Elektro, I think, and saw him fighting off a bunch of zeds. He had run out of ammo, so I moved in to help. As soon as all were dead, he thanked me and started looting the corpses. So as not to stand around like a buffoon (I didn't really know how the game worked up until then), I decided to pop a few shots in his head. Poor guy. Oddly, I've never been murdered before. I just play too carefully around other players. Only times I die is from zeds. Guess my time is coming sometime, as I was almost murdered by a bandit with a sniper yesterday, but I ran towards him in a zigzag pattern, and he disconnected. Damn coward.

I see you can change the face of your character in the ArmA 2 profile screen. Does this carry over to the mod, or does the mod use the same face for everyone?

Ah, okay. Thanks! That's good to know.

Wow, those are pretty awesome! Pretty useful information on there. Thanks for linking to them. It's not quite the one I was looking for, though. The one I saw was a fully zoomed out map of Chernarus with spawn locations highlighted as blue circles. If I, or someone else, manage to track it down, I'll see if I can get hold of the map creator and ask him for permission to also have it added to dayz.info. Player spawn locations will make a pretty useful addition.

Ah, we got it figured out. Turns out we never copied the addons folder from ArmA 2 to Operation Arrowhead.

Okay, I'm getting the dayZ Mission read from bank issue the moment someone tries to join my server. The documentation says it's because the DayZ mod are out of date, but I just redownloaded them all and it still does it. Any help?

No we're just waiting on them to authorize the server, then we'll have a South Africa server up and running.

Hi, I mailed you a few nights back already with regards to a South African server we want to set up. These are roughly the steps we've determined we need to take to get the whole thing up and running; So, I think that about covers it. However, we can unfortunately not supply RDP details, as there's too much red tape surrounding that right now, seeing as less than a month ago the official site was taken down by Brazilian hackers and was down for a few days while security was updated, just to have the site attacked again within hours of going live again. Naturally, trust is a bit hard to come by from the higher ups, so they won't consent to giving out RDP details. Is it possible for us to set the entire server up ourselves, and if so, how do we go about getting an instance ID, because I've mailed you for one twice over the course of a few days, but have received no response as of yet.
