Well, it's about that time

[Pyro_Marine 147]

Been testing and checking for bugs (have one that I don't think should be shared on the forum and will be submitted to support after this. Easy to fix exploit) for a good little while now (long before I joined the forum) and it has come time for me to stop testing.

A "ghost flanker" got me today and killed my veteran character. It's happened before and I kept thinking they'd fix it, but what can ya do? And before you die-hard DayZ dick riders come in here; I'm not whining, not griping, not raging, matter of fact I'm rather relieved.

I don't mind the zombies that just up and walk through doors and walls, I don't mind getting spawned in the debug plains over and over (6 times so far :D ) because I keep enough food and water to last me 3 hours worth of solid SE running, I don't mind the occasional gear loss when I log in some times or even spawning in the ocean. I understand this mod is in Alpha testing and it is our job as a tester (we're not here to entirely have fun) to find that kind of stuff and if possible, offer a way to fix it.

I'm in three CBT's right now, so as previously stated, the bugs don't bother me. It's the community (it used to be so great...not sure what happened), and the people who use the exploits to cheat. If there is something I do not tolerate, it's cheaters. After being killed a few times by ghost flankers (Yes, I move from location to location once I've seen someone has aborted to prevent them from flanking me like a whore and reaming my ass, but you can't always get away), I've decided to take a break. I'm not quitting by any means and I know many of you are going to troll the fuck out of me for this absolutely useless thread (go ahead and display how stupid you are, because in all honesty it does nothing but prove you get no reactions from people in real life so you do it online and don't care that it is negative, just that someone is paying attention to you....I love Psychology courses), but I just felt that I'd share it with those who do (though they will be few).

I will continue to watch the forums; like the stalker I am, to watch for updates and bug fixes. I'll continue to guide my friends who still play and help them with bug issues and I'll eventually come back.

Good gaming to ya (except you dirty bandits :P )! :)

TL;DR: Well...you must be one of those console gamers if you're stupid enough to be on a forum and think something is too long to read. :) :)

There is nothing worse in this game than chicken shit players who server hop to get an advantage. Something has to be done to combat this and i am sure Rocket is on the case.

See you for 1.8

Who's gonna toss the "it's alpha!" line? haha

Yeah the cheating/hacking is kind of a big let down for me too. What was even worse to find out is that the hacks where people can nuke every player on the server has apparently been around for a while on ARMA 2, and no one has ever bothered to fix it.

I am waiting to see what the next round of fixes brings myself, but some friends who I play the game with and I have seriously started considering getting our own server to have a little better control over it when it comes to these types of people who choose to cheat/hack.

Yeah, Rocket said he's going to try and release a solution to server hoppers and death disconnectors in 7.2. When that will be is anyone's guess. :P

[Pyro_Marine 147]

Can't wait for it.

Just sucks being a veteran character all tricked out and suddenly (I'm a survivor not a bandit) I hear shots. I return fire...see zombies on this guy and then *poof* they stop and start wandering around.

"Shit...he aborted....bet he's flanking..." *runs off to reposition* -BAM- one shot and I'm toasted.

-_-

The server hopping problem shouldnt be too hard to fix, making people wait for 10 seconds when they choose to log off, and maybe making you wait a minute or so when you try to switch servers?
