LunaTiK (DayZ)

West of Pustoshka and from there all the way north to around Skalka then staying north all the way over to the east side of the map and finally all around black lake area/north of berezino.

I'm assuming there will be different stages of zombies but I really don't know. I think the only option we have is to wait and see where rocket wants to go with it because I'm pretty sure he has his own ideas on the subject. Right now we are only fighting 'infected' humans. Highly doubt we'll ever see anything similar to L4D.

This post isn't about admins banning people from specific servers. Ander is DayZ staff who also admins some servers. What in the world? I've been beta/alpha testing video games for years and I think this might be the first time I've ever seen anything like this. What are you doing? Are you trying to put fear into people so they won't exploit? You want the finished game to have exploits? You are banning people who are exploiting something that CAN be fixed. I reported the simplest way to dupe and you guys approved the post without removing the directions on how to do the dupe and now you are banning people for doing duping of similar methods. It's an alpha game and banning people and placing fear into the rest of them isn't helping the mod at all. Example: Back in BF2 testing I figured out how to get into buildings. I reported it and they never fixed it and then the game was released. It took other people a little while to figure it out probably by accident but it eventually happened and then the hack sites got a hold of it and for months it was a HUGE problem. You couldn't play on a server without someone inside of a building incapable of being killed ruining the gameplay until everyone just left. They ended up serving out bans even to people who only used the glitch to kill the people exploiting it. It had little affect and eventually they patched it. I've seen this time and time again. Exploit gets reported but because it's not widely known it never gets fixed then one day it explodes after the game is already released and causes a lot of problems. You start handing out bans to people who are exploiting things that should and could be fixed during the alpha/beta testing without a public warning all you are doing is hurting the game in the long run. I realize that duping is well known now and absolutely needs to be fixed. I see no problem with banning people for using an exploit when it's causing a problem especially if you can't for some reason figure out how to fix it. Ninja banning a minuscule amount of people compared to how many are using the exploit isn't the best way to go about it. The game is in testing. This is when you want people to exploit as much as possible so you know what needs to be fixed and your game isn't released with a shit ton of problems. You don't want to be placing fear into people so that exploits aren't figured out and used then the game released with who knows what exploits waiting to explode in use. I don't think I've played in a week because every where I go I find duped items. Every group of people I've come across in this game are duping. I've played with 6 different clans and they were all duping with similar but mostly different methods that 'seem' like they could all be fixed the same way. I would completely support the banning of exploiters to a particular exploit if there was a public warning in advance to bans being dished out. I don't want a game/mod to come out of testing and have a bunch of exploits.

Narrow-minded? It's the staff who ban people for exploits during the testing phase of a game and only make a pointless post about it in an unrelated thread that might be narrow-minded. The post states it hasn't been reported when it has been. It's been talked about all over the forums including the bug threads. It's not at all normal to ban people for exploits during the testing phase of a game. It seems like some of you guys don't have any idea how rampant the duping is. I've played with groups of people who were duping and there were people part of that group who had absolutely no idea others were doing it. They were using the items being duped but were completely oblivious to the fact that duping was even possible. This is the first post I've seen that has mentioned bans being given for exploits and it was done in a thread most people wouldn't ever read it. What exactly does that accomplish? That's the equivalent of throwing some guys in jail for smoking a joint thinking it's fighting the war on drugs. Up until this post I haven't seen any evidence that duping is bannable or that anyone has ever been banned for it. If the duping can't be fixed easily then make a thread stating bans will be given to anyone caught duping. It's not rocket science, pun intended. The majority of the people who play this game on regular bases are using duped weapons and you think banning people by association is a good idea? I have no problem for banning people for already known exploits that are causing problems on this scale but it should be done correctly and an official public warning be made so that hopefully people will mostly stop. I can't even fathom what Ander was trying to achieve by this. I can only assume he got ticked off at some people while he was playing and dropped the ban hammer on them. It did absolutely nothing and went pretty much unnoticed. I don't think there are that many features that can be added. It seems that most of the work being done lately is fixing bugs and exploits fall into that category. There is a lot of content that could be put in the game but the mod is heavily limited on what kinds of features can be added. I have a hard time believing it would be all that difficult for beta patch to be released that saves the last state of someones character on logout of any method as well as when someone wears clothing. Completely remove the pickup feature that does the animation where you bend down and only pickup one item so that people have to use the G key to pick items up.

Well, you are wrong. I've never been banned from DayZ. Have I duped? Yes. Am I sick of the duping? Absolutely. Do I care what you think. I don't give two shits or I wouldn't have told you I've duped in the first place. I haven't played the game in about week in my own choice even though It's still my favorite game of all time just because the duping is such a big problem. Refer to my posting history to find the thread where I've reported how to dupe when I first started playing. They have attempted to fix it but there are different methods that all revolve around the same thing that allows it to happen in the first place. http://dayzmod.com/f...74-duped-items/ I probably won't be playing much at all until the duping is fixed and hopefully a complete hive wipe happens.

This thread isn't about admins banning people from specific servers. The entire hole in the idea that admins should be able to ban people for whatever is the fact that it can be abused. Say a guy spends days looking for a chopper on that server and his group spends hours repairing the chopper then an admin bans them just because they have a chopper and he wants it. That's not cool at all. There are so many scenarios that just make it completely impractical to allow admins to ban people for whatever reason they want. You could lose all the items you are storing in a tent just because you killed an admin and he bans you. Items you may have worked months for.

These aren't battleye bans. There are two ways to be globally banned by DayZ staff and by battleye. According to the post it seems there are different ways that staff may choose to globally ban you. I know one way from previous posts of rocket is that your account profile is destroyed and it's supposedly irreversible. What you read was rocket stating that battleye can't ban you for using duped and hacked in items.

I'm not positive but I believe this are globals I'm not positive but I believe these are global bans issued by DayZ staff Ander.

Am I missing something at 1:46?

I've been killed by rocks more than anything. You shouldn't lose half to all your life just from breaking a bone. It should be enough that we can't walk.

How do you sink a boat in dayz?

You might want to pick another original nickname. That name is all over hack forums. People might get the wrong idea.

Um, you are trying to say a game can't crash a router/modem completely knocking your internet offline? I hate to break it to you internet guru but you are surely wrong.

We know you mean well. Right guys? http://www.arma2.com/home_en.html ARMA 2: COMBINED OPERATIONS / OPERATION ARROWHEAD / REINFORCEMENTS UPDATE 1.62 As part of our continuous support, we released a new patch for the award-winning tactical military shooter, Arma 2. Patch 1.62 brings a lot of fixes to multiplayer, which – aside for the largescale military battles – will also make zombie hunts much less prone to crashes and should improve server stability. The other highlights of version 1.62 are: I'm not completely positive that this mod will see huge updates to the core game. I would think if something would be to happen it would happen with a standalone game. I'm kinda feeling like we may get an official statement some day soon.

In 15 minutes you could easily get an entire set of gear by looting a dead body at NW Airfield.

What is happening is that when you run Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead steam updates the cd key in the registry for the account. When another steam account was used on the computer it updated the cd key to that account and now it won't update it back. Someone else said that creating a new windows account and using that fixed their problem. All I had to do was simply run steam in admin and it fixed my problem.

Did you try what I said exactly? Some people said this helped. If you have two different windows accounts log into another. Steam has to be ran in ADMIN mode, launch Operation Arrowhead without dayz first and let it go all the way to the menu. Then launch dayz.

Maybe they aren't new players at all and realize they can run to NW airfield before they starve and hope to find something good right away. Death is a chance they are willing to take maybe since they have nothing to lose.

Take damage, Either have a friend shoot you or take damage from a zombie. Bandage yourself then play as normal. As long as you play for longer than 3 minutes you should be able to login and out when you want without worry.

You could download http://www.moo0.com/?top=http://www.moo0.com/software/SystemMonitor/ and see what it's reporting as the bottleneck during the freeze. What are your FPS when not frozen?

Show us the duping.

Which ever computer doesn't have the correct account. Completely sign out of windows then back in. Launch steam as admin and sign into normal account and launch the game. This should update the cd key in the registry.
