That's why I still believe that Rocket and the dev team should change it so that you cannot store anything but side arms and supplies in tents and vehicles. By supplies I mean food, medical stuffs, map etc. That would totally rule out duping, and it will force players to start scavenging again and not just camping in the hills taking pot shots at everything that moves 24/7.

Agreed! +1

Interesting. Will have to give it a shot once I'm done with my exams (3 days \o/). Is it the exact same arsenal that is present in Chernarus? Have they removed the thermal and night vision gear?

It should have the same arsenal, but I'm not 100% sure. I know you can supposedly mount flashlights on your shoulder and NVG no longer works with the DMR.

Sir yes sir. You can shoulder-mount the military flashlight so it perma illuminates the area infront of your feet, and yeah the DMR lost it's NVG capability and in it's place you can use zeroing now.

I do agree with you to some extent.

ZA1 just got completely reset. All our vehicles that we worked hard for is gone and all our precious loot that we spent hours acquiring is gone. So we're a little bit cheesed off. Nothing we can do about it though.

Maybe what the admins can do (if it's at all possible), is to remove tents from the game until Rocket sorts out the duping problem.

Well, what I suspect is that WAGE didn't wipe their servers, they've just used another mission file linked to another instance ID in place of the one that belongs to ZA1. Apparently ZA6 through to ZA8 has been claimed by one of the GSPs, but is not currently in use.

Ow boy ZA3 must be one of the worst servers in the world. Not sure how (accidently?) or why I connected to it but spawning in @ night and just getting sniped 1 shot by obviously an AS50 TWS when you have 0 gear is a joke.

And then you respawn, run and get sniped in the middle of a thick forest that you can’t see in or out, without hearing a sound (looong distance) screams hacker than can see anyone on the map and have some script that removes the fog, adds view distance and removes leaves and such things from trees etc.

Yup that is very sad. 3 of our squadmates (5 player squad) were killed by a teleporting hacker about 2 days ago on ZA3. Thing is, We were spread out around each other in a 250-350m range. Suddenly my friend hears rapidfire shots next to him and dies, as we hear the shots, another one drops, same story, rapidfire shots right next to him. The 3 of us that were left turned to face each other and the hacker spawned in RIGHT behind the guy I was covering and instakilled him. You could literally see him appear out of thin air and kill my friend. The 2 of us that were left just alt-f4'd outta there.
I don't mind dying, I've not once Alt-F'd EVER out of a firefight, but I aint going down to a hacker.

And yeah, the TWS situation. As long as there is a place for duping weapons (tents, vehicles), there will always be AS50 TWS rifles :(

TWS weapons I really do not like as they are very op, but I can actually handle them in the hands of a legit player who needs to scout around etc.
But put them in the hands of a person who can see where ppl are on the map and wait for you to just stick your head over a hill for the very 1st time is just bull. Other ppl you can flank, those you can't.

Your story really does suck. I've killed a fully kitted dude with AS50 TWS, radio the lot and just after looting a dude appears and I just die, without even being shot. Some sort of insta-kill thing.

Apparently a local server might go up that warn ppl who have hacked weapons and then kicks after x amount of time. That would really help I think.

That would be brilliant. In the meantime we are hanging out on the Lingor server. Graal and Mattz are doing a decent enough job to promote fair play by checking players, tents etc. Good job.
