Ok then, this will be an interesting topic because in definition it will separate the useful people on the forum from those who seek to purely be an ass. I have been on this forum for a year now (only just registering in Early December) and every time I have seen threads associated with BattlEye global bans despite the Op's reasoning of not being slimy hacker, every single one has been shot down. Now I understand this fully as the mod itself was broken in terms of its protection against hacks up until anti-hack scripts were introduced especially on private hives, meaning there were many liars among the sheep herd. But in terms of the SA its a little bit of a different landscape now due to the development of BattlEye only recently joining us once again (I say "meh" to this action) As of today, one of my friends was globally banned by BattlEye today spontaneously for no apparent reason. I play with this guy every day and a few others and we always do things by the book, no hacking involved obviously. The only thing I know of is that he said he downloaded a FPS Increase tool for DayZ in hopes of raising his FPS in cities and towns and points towards the only reason he could have been hacked in some way or another, I seriously have no clue. However, Does DayZ Use the CD Key system the Mod used?? when I right-click on it in my Steam Library there's no option to "View CD Key" which makes me think that it couldn't have been a classic CD Key Theft and then used by a hacker. He's emailed BattlEye and is awaiting a response, if any of you guys could help with any reasoning for this sort of ban (obv hacking is a reason) or if you choose not to help but sit in scepticism of the claims my friend is not a hacker then id rather you answer my question about CD Keys and how they work in the SA (if they even exist that is...) Thanks for reading, Miles

So guys thought id kick start a thread for all us DayZ Mod players relating to the popularity of private hive servers at the moment now that the public hive is pretty much a corpse and buried for the time being. My main question as you can see by the title is regarding DayZ "Clans" as I like to call them but you can call them "Groups" or whatever floats your boat I suppose. The main predicament I have with clans on these servers is the fact that 1) members of the clan are either donators or friends of private hive admins and so get unwarranted "freebies" should I say... or 2) They just take "the game" too damn seriously... now just for a bit of context on the kind of examples or debates I'm trying to bring up here id like to reference a particular server (Which shall not be named) in specific terms an "Epoch" server (I know, I know just hear me out okay?) in which a particular clan might as well have been a virus the way it manifested on the admins and the complete running of the server... 1st example: Me and my friend travelled from Stary to Pobeda Dam to go and complete a mission, after finding a rather comfy spot to survey the situation the server was restarted due to the fact that a couple of members of the "Clan" had been getting lag issues. Even though this decision went to vote and the majority voted against it (And may I say this majority were non-clan members) the server was still restarted anyway in favour of these malicious bastards, 2nd Example: Again, Me and 5 of my friends armed with DMR's and 1 AS50 decided to roam around completing missions for gold.... (SIDENOTE: THIS SERVER HAD TANKS/JETS/ARMED HELICOPTERS ENABLED, so maybe I was asking for a butt fucking right?) however we continuously died (No tears, not yet...) due to the fact the clan of about 5 members were going around in an Apache AH1 and an Stryker MGS not completing this missions, but using the thermal optics to kill people around them and then taunt them over chat (this was at no point challenged by an Admin...) 3rd Example: When Me and My friends were eventually able to save up 12 briefcases (don't ask me how we grinded for that, it was immense considering what we were up against) we bought our very own Stryker and decided to see if we could go and genuinely complete missions with it to get an influx in gold. Unfortunately for us although successfully blowing up one of the clans tanks in the process (which resulted in a declaration of war from their clan on me and my measly group of 5 other peasants. pathetic right?) we were ousted by not 1 but 2 Apaches! (Apaches are 12 briefcases/Stryker is also 12) 36 briefcases?? even by clan standards that's ridiculous considering these guys also had 2 momentous concrete bases obviously paid for by admins. And what happened after this you ask? Well the tank wasnt a big loss for them, considering they had another one apparently and were using that one just for "shits and giggles" as it was stated. Overall the past is the past and those server days are behind me. So what are your guys views on this kind of behaviour, I know there's nothing we can do about it and its best to steer clear. But do you condone this? is it really good for the community as a whole? I guess you could argue a 5 man squad armed with DMR's on an original DayZ mod server is perhaps not "good" for the community but I guess its better than the unfair advantage that comes with Epoch of hoarding shit like a shit stacker.

I like shadowplay and your completely right that there is literally no performance loss but I find mostly I like to play with friends and shadowplay as of current does not record 3rd party applications such as Skype unless i was to record it separately with audacity but I cba. I use OBS for my videos as i stream with OBS also and find recording with it pretty stable, if you look at my signature there's a link to my channel where you can view some of my videos which are all recorded with OBS. If you want setting info then message me and ill send you some details. Another thing I would stress is the server is a big factor of fps when playing and recording, if the server's scripts are not organised properly and/or are not configured properly then it can result in big drops in fps especially prevalent on high loot servers.

Problem is, their are no "Clan Servers" anymore :/ seems to be they congregate to one random server they can all connect reasonably too and just ruin it for the rest of people. I know exactly where your coming from. For me i've seen clans that automatically arm bambi's or transport them around Chernaraus for no charge, which for me withdraws from some of the experience. The complete opposite of massacring bambi's can also be equally destructive as well. What makes me laugh the most is the "hardcores" that side with clans because they themselves have benefited from such a system :L

Is there anyway I can join a server by its IP through DayZ Launcher?

So guys I've been doing a lot of recording for my YouTube channel lately in regards to completing AI missions on Epoch servers and I was wondering how you guys approach them? To me it seems like there are 3 groups of people: - People like me who sit and wait for some poor bugger to clear the mission himself, then murder him from a safe distance, say 600m? Then survey the scene for another hour until its safe to loot... - People who buddy up with Admins or donators to completely wreck noobs and then share the loot among themselves (Godmode = OP) - People who clear the missions with high powered vehicles (Armer choppers, Vodniks, Tanks etc...) So what's your approach, are you the patient player, or do you like to hit it with everything you've got?

Hmm today I went on and tried to do a C130 crash mission, got there and killed the ai got shot by a guy and was made unconscious but he didn't realise so I woke up and killed the guy then went down and got the loot, however as I was driving away I got sniped. Pretty good shot still tbh...

Hi there people! So recently I've been recording some gameplay due to the fact I like to capture some of the moments I have with my friends or myself whilst on DayZ as well as Arma in general and I've now setup a YouTube channel for me to upload my content to. Id appreciate it a lot if you guys could just take a minute to look at my YouTube page and comment on the layout/thumbnails or just my content in general and give me some feedback or constructive criticism! My YouTube channel is: [snipped] Thanks again guys!

Sorry to have caused any trouble, will do so in the future! Thanks dude! You have my beans! :)

Without a doubt start with the vanilla, it will give you the basics of the game and like you said the original "Spooky" or "desolate" feeling the game offers at its barebones state. Then if your interested and feel your starting to grow bored of the vanilla move onto Epoch, again its simple and will allow you to get used to base building and the way currency works in the game as well as that you can train your own PvP skills by carrying out missions. Then if you get bored even of that! you can go to OverPoch which is basically Epoch with a shit ton more guns loot and vehicles! the reason I say don't skip to OverPoch is because its like having a truck load of new systems and options being thrown at you all at the same time so I would just browse through the mods in that order until you get bored. Also asa side note, even within the confines of these mods (Vanilla, Epoch & Overpoch) there are loads of different configurations and heavily modded servers that build upon these so you basically have a Utopia of choice in front of you to enjoy! Happy Hunting! Miles

Like people have said here already, a mans loot is his most valuable thing especially on modes such as Epoch. Especially with the mod it seems the military calibre of gear you can get is too fun not to use in my opinion. DMR's, M24's, Mk48 MOD 0's are all insane guns that are put in the game purely for the PVP aspect which is why its such a popular route to take. DMR's etc.. are way to overkill for just killing zombies or even AI and scream "GIVE ME MURDER!" at you. Whilst I don't condone DayZ servers being just outright deathmatch zones I think PvP is just a very rewarding aspect of the game compared to blood bagging people and helping them... Needs to be a more persuasive reward system for carrying out heroic acts, why even bother when you can shoot a guy and take his stuff for yourself without any repercussions other than you can buy at the "hero trader"? Oh yeah, that's right because you can just kill more people and be more of an ass hole and then go to the "Bandit trader" instead :/

I only shoot if its ever in my interest, for example if I'm at a mission then I take no chances, if you turn up I WILL shoot you. Other than that I like to think a dead man with a gun is better than a living one with a gun in terms of my own safety on the game. However that's not to say I've never got it wrong, I've done things on this game I'm not proud of...

Since this question would be more opinion based, your wrong. Because obviously an opinion must be backed by some kind of explanation or experience in order for it to be valid.

hey guys I am currently streaming some of the DayZ Mod on twitch right now if you wanna pop in and say hello! Channel: www.twitch.tv/artofstealth1911 Hope to see you there! :)

Hi there guys! Gonna be streaming DayZ for a couple of hours, so hop in and say hello! :) http://www.twitch.tv/artofstealth1911 hope to see you there :)

The point is the reality of the situation not what you think a survival game should be, the mosin has a 5 round clip, its not suppose to magically change when its spray painted...

I like this idea, I remember when id get sick or my guy would start making noises and id have to take like 7 painkillers or several antibiotics to cure myself which would actually have a reverse effect IRL to extend it, perhaps doing so would mean your character would have to be stomach pumped, which would only be available in a hospital and would have a high mortality rate meaning if failed then your character would die.. Again though, these are all ideas... You have my beanz sir! :D

Member Since Today, 08:30 PM please cut this guy some slack...he's obviously new to the forums and doesn't know the structure of the forums as he came here just to ask a question and you greet him with patronisation... Such a welcoming community...

Idiocy. Plain and Simple.

This man tells the truth...He is indeed also another friend of mine in which me and him both play with the supposed "hacker in need of penis enlargment dumbass" who's DayZ profile was global banned.

Disclaimer Note: MetalGearMiles is not subject to certain abuses or accusations as in regarding his first post that said problem did not involve his account or system being infiltrated by already stated .dll file but rather his friends. In terms and conditions of the forum MetalGearMiles will not be posting links to said .dll due to lack of information on given source. As well as this, MetalGearMiles is not subject to accusations regarding the vagueness of the source, but rather his dumb-ass friend is. Secondly, the nature of MetalGearMiles' friend is not the debate at hand in this topic and shall so forth be recognised in posts as utter dribble as it also lies in the same state as the vagueness and lack of knowledge on the source of said hack in hand. Thirdly, MetalGearMiles is not subject to queries in the legitimacy of posting said topics on a forum for the communities benefit. CRUCIAL INFORMATION: Said topic is not a plea for help for MetalGearMiles' friend to be un-global banned as it were. Said topic is to address the issues of how global bans will be dealt with in DayZ and to bring to the surface the fact that dangers still lie out there in the internet to steal your DayZ account from you. So please... Will you not spare my life? If you prick me do I not bleed? If you tickle me do I not laugh? I seek only to bring an example of what has happened to my friend so other people may better understand this situation as well as me...

I love me a great fire fight :)

As many others have said here similarly, im a strong believer in the fact that this game unlike Arma 2 is not some script kiddy playground where mods can be installed and created by whim through lines of code. If you want mods and your own personal Day Z experience I highly recommend you buy Arma 2 and play the mod there. When I heard about the SA I clearly gathered that DayZ was going to be heading in a central direction of development, towards enriching the experience so many others had at the start of playing the vanilla version of the mod and expanding upon it. As well as this, I also think if the dev team were to allow so much freedom in the modding community for the SA as it had in the mod at this stage particularly, It would affect the development process especially in Pre-Alpha or Alpha itself. I think its really vital there's a focus on the core game development before mods for SA are even thought about. Its a definite that there will be private hives coming, everyone knows that. Will they have as much freedom to develop as last time? I don't know yet we'll just have to wait and see...

Apparently it was a .dll file he downloaded and had to place in the game directory (insert facepalm here) Seems my friend may be a bit more mentally challenged than I thought so previously haha at least this topic will be of some use to others if they themselves download any files related with the optimization of DayZ...

Allow me to uncover the flaws in that reply you posted good sir... 1) I am not said person who downloaded it and my account is still functional 2) "said fps booster" implies the fact I am lying, again linking back to step 1) I cant be lying about such downloading of hacks if it was not me in the first place who supposedly tried, nor am I lying on the behalf of my friend I am only relaying what he told me and what he told me is still an issue in the community. 3) Considering I am not the one who downloaded such "FPS Booster" I cannot provide a link, I will see if he knows so I can warn individuals from going on the site but even then im sure posting a link as such would violate the terms and conditions of this forum in regards to posting said hacks or viruses. 4) "Buddy" also implies that I am using a scapegoat or lying about said situation and I am the one who has been issued a global ban, this is not the truth and your sceptic prediction already shows your an immature individual to speculate such things. 5) The FPS Booster downloaded was not a program as broad as Razer game Booster (which I have installed myself) and was one in relation to the specific problems of DayZ and its drop in frame rates at certain areas in the game. You mistake me for an intricate liar or my friends babysitter, in truth I didn't really come here to see how the problem could be solved as i know the harsh reality of global bans (not by personal experience, before i get a wave of accusations come my way) but rather just to inform the community of such a situation should anyone else feel the need to download any foreign programs that could be dangerous.
