I agree, but they would have to make flares way less prevalent. It would make finding matches obsolete. I like that you have to gather the right materials, but yeah, matches are sometimes a bitch to find.

Haha, I'm fine with that. I've gotten pretty decent on my own, but it's impossible to go any further by yourself at a certain point. I'm very interested in a grouping option too. Doesn't mean friendly fire will be turned off of course. Gotta keep that fear, real!

Ah I understand now, I still think there'd be a way to prevent it. But this is also a matter of opinion, I guess. And I can't play with anyone, because everyone is so nervous in game, and I have limited friends who have computers who can run this shit haha.

I guess I'm not understanding. If the server name and player names are unavailable, how could someone watch and tell their friends where to go? They would have no clue what server they were watching in order to tell their friends to join said server. It would basically be a button that connects you a random anonymous (to the player) server. No way to tell anyone to join or find certain people at all.

We all already came up with a way to prevent this, via not projecting any data of the server, or the players. Therefore, you cannot just hop right on and take people out.

I just REALLY want to watch people better than me 1)Kick ass and 2) possibly pick up some strategies.

I'm saying that they would change it, so that wouldn't be possible if you were using observable mode.

What if instead of a time limit, they make it so you can't see what server you're observing? Therefore when you join a server, you have no idea if that one camp you wanted to go rob will actually be there.

Hmm I suppose the time limit might not work in that case. I'm sure some solution to this could be made though. I agree completely that being able to just pop in and take advantage of the observing is a definite dealbreaker. Hopefully if this were to be implemented, someone could come up with a failsafe.

What about some sort of omniscient mode, where you can either free roam or cycle through players on a random server just to observe them, see some action, pick up tips, etc. You could even add some sort of block to that server, so when you observe, you can't join that same server until maybe 8 hours (or whatever amount of time) later (starting at the end of your viewing). This prevents people popping on just to steal cool shit. I think it could be cool if you come across a group of people kicking ass, since many of us don't get to experience that haha. Thoughts? This is just off the top of my head, so if there are more loopholes, by all means post them, but maybe add a solution or two as well? Let me know what you guys think! Thanks!

For C, who says they wont kill you? Just because you group up, doesn't mean they don't have ulterior motives. One could be a group leader in charge of the little camp,and all could mutiny, or one could take over and become king, instilling fear into every other person.
