Odd server activity

[punisher_1 3]

Date: June 17th

Time: Approximatley 9:00am

Here are a few screen shots and the details:

Searching the NE Airstrip I was shot and killed. Nothing surprising there but whats odd is beore I can even type a sentance players disconnected from the server.

now you see me

Now you don't, what cut and run?

Thats right Ankake and Coronos bail out after the kill.

** I know it just could be coincidence but I think not. **

I think this was an example of spawn camping with disconnect in fear of retaliation, greifing or looting.

Let me explain. A player or players camp a high volume player area, say the North East airfield. They pick an optimal sniping postion or hide on the objective or a little of both so one can be a spotter / sniper and the other a looter or secondary shooter. They roll through the servers and see what they can find. Once they engage and kill a player and loot them and they DC.

Thus moving back to a safe server like those that are locked or very limited slots to drop the goods or horde items. This way they can farm servers all day long obtaining the loot they want without to much issue.

It just as bad as players "shifting" by server jumping to gain postion on a target. While this might be nothing new. This resonably simple exploit destroys the emersion of this game.

Then I get this screen shot ( which happened twice )

whats up with this text compaired to the text above

You notice when I get my death text it does not say who killed me but in this screen shot it does involving two other players.

The bottom screenshot with the freindly fire text is what happens when players shoot each other in the debug areas.

Thanks I was not sure why the text was different.

Yeah, we ban for PVP DC'ers on our server...if we catch it. It is panzy ass shit and should not be stood for on other servers if the admins can help it. If you are going to PVP and get the lootz be prepared to lose the lootz as well and take it like a man.

If someone is shot before fully loaded in this message will also occur.
