Ideas

So as I was playing today I got to thinking...

Its hard to trust anyone on the game. When Im playing occassionally I run into players that say absolutely nothing and have a gun out, look like a bandit, and I think they are going to shoot me. But instead he shot some of the zombies behind me and we ran by each other. I pulled up my sights quickly when i thought he was aiming but he had more than enough time to fire on me.

Then there are those players that run around the map screaming "hey man, friendly", "want some gear?", "here take this car" .. just so they can shoot you or attempt to scam you in some way. I dont think either side should be "punished" so to say because hey, somedays I feel like being a bandit too.

It would be cool to see some kind of system where.. if you live your life as a bandit, the lower your humanity then maybe your percentage for finding certain weapons or gear would be lessened and other gear would pop up more. Though if you live your game life as a hero, other good gear shows up often. Assuming you would split the gear into categories whats good for a bandit such as traps and ways to coax other players. and then things good for hero such as items to help partners or better weapons to defend against bandits.

That way, if you kill a bandit. You can take his gear like traps to use against other bandits. Or if your a bandit you can steal gear from heros that raise humanity like blood bags. That way ALL items are still available you just have to get them another way. Would still incorporate PVP, but would also make players think more wisely on how they want to spend their time.

As far as BattlEye, this system so far, just doesnt work. Ive always been partial to PunkBusters. They always seemed to stay in the game when it came down to anticheats. BattlEye seems to be behind the curve. I havent seen hackers for awhile on this new beta, but this morning my friend and I definitely experienced a hacker. Teleporting himself, spawning ghillies, somehow he even turned off the thermal scope on L85s and changed the in game time zone during gameplay. It was daylight, I alt-tabbed for a second to turn on FRAPS. Alt-Tabbed back in and it was pitch black and my thermal wouldnt work but night vision would. I really despise hackers its a huge issue. I can deal with game glitching me out and rocks killing me. But dying because some sorry noob needs a handicap to get around in the game. Makes me not want to play. I can avoid rocks, I cant avoid a teleporting hacker.

As far as the Alt-F4 and disconnectors. There has to be some way to disable alt-f4 or global message sent to notify everyone of the alt-f4 and some kind of delay on the abort button countdown or something. Or maybe when a person kills another player. The abort button gets grayed out for a certain amount of time 3 - 5 minutes. Just ideas hopefully one of mine will spark an even better creative idea for the developers.

Other than that I do enjoy the game, fun times.

Or we could keep the loot spawn system like it is due to them making sense.

actually bandit has no problem finding gear he just takes yours.
