Isaac (DayZ)

But it dosen't read that way. Arma 2 beta patch. Arma OA 1.61. They're two different things. DayZ is still going to be an Alpha. I'm pretty sure they'd make a bit more of a stink about moving into their next phase of development than naming it in passing, here.

You didn't read my post in its entirety. I don't stream' date=' and thus, do not get stream-sniped. My post has absolutely nothing to do with rectifying stream-sniping. My post has everything to do with a concern for innocent players getting banned, if they [i']were actively punishing stream-sniping on the word of streamers alone, because that's what every high-volume streamer and their mother likes to claim. Thus, I'm here asking the validity of it. Learn to read, please and thank you.

I'd like to know the dev's official stance on stream-sniping, and if it is disallowed, how one can appropriately discern a stream-sniper from a player who may or may not have been. I watch a lot of Twitch.tv streams, and a lot of the time, the streamer throws out accusations of stream-sniping and claiming that they'll be submitting the name / IP to both Twitch and the DayZ devs in order to issue both a Twitch ban and a database-level ban from all DayZ servers as a response. I found that more than a few of these cases were very arguable and questionable accusations, and although there is a vast array of different servers to play on, I find myself checking for a few streamers in general who I am not personally familiar with, as to avoid coming in contact with them (most are hostile), as if I happen to win a firefight with one, and they recognize my username from a past streaming session, I could very well be considered a stream-sniper as well. I tried searching the forums and couldn't find any official statement on it, aside from the words on the allowance of "meta-gaming", but I don't think this falls under that same category.
