Community input regarding passworded and whitelist servers

[james222 49]

Let me start by saying nobody gives a shit if some stupid admin is going to buy a server just a farm gear, because it already happens. And script kiddies already give themselves the best gear if not illegal gear. The reason stated for not letting us password/require whitelist for our servers was because of loot farming, well there you go its already happening in the masses so why not let us get rid of hackers on our server and password them/require whitelist on the servers.

community input.

i only agree that we have the permission to kick/ban suspected/confirmed hacker, however we don't need to whitelist to do it, who are you gonna kill? your clan member? what a joke.

Hacker problem might be able to get rid by programming in coming patch, as it is still alpha, i was encountered by a invis lee-enfield jackass in RU server, our way to avoid it is just to change and play in other server.

If every server having their own whitelist, we have no choice to pick other server then

Whitelisting and password servers would be abused to hell. The loot farming would literally get even worse.

dunno about that bdhtemag, if everybody passworded them you couldnt take your ill gotten loot to another server ;)

[james222 49]

Lootfarming isn't a issue, did you even read my first post. Its either A. Hackers or B. Lootfarmers.

And no, I'm not part of any clan.

I agree that the "deterrent" for loot-farming is a void arguement now with people running 3 slot servers and the "locked for filming" or "testing", we actually got into a testing server and found a guy, the admin, duping using 4 tents just outside stary's military tents

surprise surprise when he spotted us we were kicked instantly.

my current true belief is that allow us to host private servers how we want, just on our own databases, then no harm done

dev's will still get feedback, and newbs wont have a mojor disadvantage in public main hive games

^^^ what T0e said!

x-x my buddy (and our mutual buddies) and I would love to play LAN or 'private' servers that are just us and anybody we want to join(those mutual friends) NOT TO FARM GEAR FOR OTHER SERVERS.... but to simply be able to explore, do crazy stuff...(hold a 'capture the ... tire.... or helicopter rotor between two cities or something... dodging zombies all the way.... or jack up the spawn limit and hole up in say... the fire station with as much ammo as we can hold and see how long we last before they eventually overwhelm us with bodies.)

and... cant.. due to obvious reason =P

and simply have servers that are connected to the 'hive' and servers that are not... and you have a toon on hive set.. and the toon for 'lulz!'

Whitelist and password for global hive Db is just insanley dumb

if you want a private server just host one o0

there are a couple ones with privat DB just use google !?

its alpha -exploits/glitches/bugs ARE present- so live with it

You're being insanely retarded, ArmA2:OA is a retail game, the mod does not define security exploits within arrowhead.

Until server hopping to flank snipers, to endlessly lootfarm a specific location, or to avoid death is removed, it seems to me the only recourse is to permit people to password their server.

If you're paying for the server hosting, some amount of control should be allowed.

It's like the OP said, it's not as if banning passwords has solved any of the problems the ban was designed to prevent. Prohibition never works.

[azunai 32]

so ? i dont get you two

you hate hoppers, -> local db

you hate ghost walking -> local db

you hate hackers -> local db

But you are allowed to host your own server with a local HIVE...
