I´m getting called a asshole in game quite a lot though simply because I KOS, If someone has a Rifle I will hunt them down and do my best to kill them, rifle=KOS. Me and the groups safety before all. To me a asshole is someone at drives over freshies( of course there are exceptions here like if two from different groups are on their way back to a fight. ) or someone that goes a bit overboard when taunting his enemy over direct/sidechat/radio.
The only times I really feel like a asshole is when I let people Swim a long way only so I can reach their inventory on shore when I kill them : ) 
 
We all have different views on whats assholes..

Can this please not turn into a thread of 'hey everyone, i'm not a douche who would run people over' just because some cry-hard kid pops in and states that everyone who disagrees with him are "the same people who used it [the hunter] to run people over". Such a statement is too fucking retarded to deserve more than one post telling him that, and then the rest of us moving on with the feedback (and staying on topic). Seriously.  :huh: 
 
There's been a MINOR part of the Epoch players doing this shitty thing with driving around spawn-areas running over freshspawns. So minor, that it makes absolutely no sense balancing the game depending on what this 1% uses the vehicle for. The rest of us were actually using the Hunter's armour, rather than it's bumper. So I really hope that this was not in any way a reason for the change.
 
The value of having a fast-moving lightly-armoured vehicle like the Hunter was, completely changes a firefight if it's used properly. When you got the Hunter, you're able to extract your mate who's pinned behind that stone wall in the middle of a field, you can transport your building-supplies safely from stash to base, you can drive through populated areas without getting sprayed at from every angle and risk dying from a lucky shot - or your vehicle even blowing up for that matter.
 
There's always gonna be that one or two mega douchebags who's gonna camp freshspawns. But wether he does it with a Hunter or a .50cal, I really couldn't care less..  <_<
Besides, as always, you can attempt running away or simply spawn somewhere else - or, like those of us acknowleding that it isn't too hard, grab whichever gun you can get your hands on, and try to disable it and shoot the cunt inside it. It really doesn't take that many shots to take out a wheel or even a windshield for that matter.
 
After the decrease in armor however, the Hunter seems to be made of fucking cardboard. The only reason it still has some use, is it's offroad speed and the fact that not all know about this change and therefore still fears it - even though it's like a Tempest with 4 seats, lower gear capacity, and slightly higher speed. In other words, there's basically no value to the Hunter in consideration of how rare it is - it might as well be as common as the HEMMT/Tempest, which imo is a shame.  :unsure:

Wasteland is not my thing I would in that case be going back to Breaking Point full time.

But that Mod is so extremely unforgiving, Epoch felt more casual but maybe even to casual for my taste if a armoured vehicle is not for protection and a noob with a pistol should be able to take it out.

Why do you think every playable mod uses loot containers instead of dropping random loot around. Cause ARMA..
 
Flosstradamus I believe you are correct here. 

Nah It´s these mistakes that brings fun conversations in the group.

Altis to big.

Agree. I want to be able to store a lot of base material before i start building and of course some other gear. Built 2 which got filled in no time with almost only rare stuff. You should not need to build more then 2-3 tipis considering their size and hard to hide.

You get pelts by Zappers to.

Edit: Don't think the servers will like everyone having 4-5 tipis each either.

Of course but until then build Tipis and store gear, that way you are helping stress the server and building other constructions. And then you can build and protect your precious jammer with all the material you have looted ; ) instead of building a half base with a vulnerable jammer in the middle.
edit: think you are a bit spoiled.. I come from a other Alpha where loot is much rarer and there has been no safe storage the first 8 months I played it. Sure you lost some but you also found some so it evened out in the end.

I run some people over in combat and a occasional low geared but alway´s feel shame in running the low geared over. I usually like to use the Armoured vehicle as decoy in group fights and thats also a reason to why I want it armoured, keeping 1 or more players eye´s on the vehicle rather then focusing on my friends.
 
Here is a good example when We are pressuring a group in the Kavala castle, sadly We get to eager and storm rather then letting them move out. Seen thru one of their eye´s. Edit: Seen thru our enemies eye´s : )
 

 
 
Run over Unarmed is a bit to much asshole for my style, but come at me when Im armed then it´s a challenge.

Hope they intend to remove those radars. Makes it a bit to easy to cash in and find better vehicles.

Running over people at freshspawn I think is wrong but I don´t see what´s wrong with running over people at a fight or if you see geared people that not are careful enough running over a road or a hill, sure it´s not bad ass, If they are geared it not hard to take out the wheels even in Vanilla.
 
I mean whats the difference of sitting with a .50 at 1km or using a vehicle to drive someone over? and don´t claim that it takes skill to use a .50 at 1km cause it isn´t that rifle is made for much greater distances.
 
Edit: A vehicle can work as a weapon and a armoured def should work as one. 
 
Edit again: I thought they nerfed it for freshspawn killing, if it is because people used them as weapons and some not so experienced players could not handle it its just a very bad choice. Especially when they are dropping long distance sniper rifles every where that kills with one shot at 1.5km and even more if the draw distance would allow it.

Watch some of Andrea´s videos they are for a other mod but he has some very educational instructions to survival that to many points fit here to. Take your time and find a quiet town, I have been in 2 the last 2 day´s looting in peace.

This is my last effort with you but at least Iv´e tried, PVP players are here to stay so learn to be sneaky, stealthy and stay away from towns close to spawn´s.

Find 10 of both .50 and m320 before I find a Zafir and a ABR. Something´s def wrong with the spawnrate of the heavy snipers. 
 
The Zafir and ABR seem to have droped in rate to a more normal level.
 
Having trouble finding a 7.62 suppressor now to which where way more common before. Which is a good thing.

Have you tried putting a Tipi down? Put 2 down Saturday without issues.
 
You posted in the right place, was more directed to other´s that are directed here from other parts of the forum.
 
You have lived longer then Me then.
 
That was just silly.

Fireplace is not working either, probably related.
 
Is jammer that important get fixed right now why not fill your stashes with loot for basebuilding until its resolved, its a ALPHA all these things are to be expected and will happen again and again if you can´t handle it then its not for you for the moment.
 
Edit: Fireplace bug on ZNU02 Zombies.nu and heard that people had problem with jammers there to.

Took out the tires of the Vannad with only a couple of 9mm´s so it´s just a slow moving target these day´s. It would be one thing if it only let the air out and rolled a bit slower on the reinforcement in the wheel but no way 9mm shots should completly flaten a armored vehicle´s wheels.
 
Not tested the Armor of it yet but 50% sure sounds like a insane armor reduction. The Vannad already have a real weakspot in its armor compared to for example The Vodnik.
 
Really hope they change their mind here, this is a vehicle you should feel happy about finding. 

yeh arma has never been kind to the lonewolf , however loot being based on the size of the group is maybe a step too far against them. loot shouldn't be dependant on how many players are in the area but more akin to just plain old luck (or as close to that as can be).

So your looking to be more then 25% of the server population? Sounds like good way to nerf that kinda sized group to have 2 groups. Sure I like big groups but that kinda size makes it kinda silly, you just want to steamroll yourselfes through the servers never losing gear and shit.
 
To un sportful for my taste.

Is it a good idea to release the update at this point? they will have the weekend on them to crack the new security instantly.
