Small scale works better imo. If everyone on a server is in the same network bubble then it's carnage but not the way you hope.

could be any time but it's more likely the week after experimental goes to .49

When are the devs going to allow us to do something about the hacks?
freethink replied to lvcrxrcr's topic in General Discussion
Did you know hackers are able to detect other hackers? They use their radar to get average speeds of people in their bubble. It's easy for them. Begs the question of why a server based system can't do the same. And apparently there's a lot more hackers on servers than we even know. Most of the time they turn off their hacks so to us they look like normal players. You can imagine when the loot economy is centralized and certain items are limited who will end up with those items: Hackers. And what will they do when they find them: sell them. Battleye is like a virus checker that can detect known viruses. Basically they download known hacks make a signature of the files then try detect them on a players hd/in memory. Most of the bans are just kids who bought hacks. There's people have been running esp/speed-running etc hacks since day one undetected. Also seeing private shards as the answer is just admitting defeat to hackers imo. Surely the budget is big enough that bi can proactively attack these fucks? -

I haven't seen a box of sks ammo since the update.

What's the current hacking status like in DayZ:SA?
freethink replied to RadikulRAM's topic in General Discussion
We killed some guys up at the neaf last night and took a high capacity vest from a body. Inside that high capacity vest was two more vests and two boxes and inside each of those vests was, you guessed it, two more vests along with boxes. We eventually gave up trying to unpack them. They also had hacked mags etc. -
Random Character Wipes/Resets when Joining the same Official Server? [Possible Bug/Discussion]
freethink replied to alaskafish (DayZ)'s topic in General Discussion
happened to me last night. normally I'm able to get out of the server and rejoin a different one with my original char but wasn't able to last night. maybe it was the wine -
I'd contact battleye if I were you. Or else use a new steam account.

Chatacter wipe next stable build(.49) possible
freethink replied to cels's topic in General Discussion
the night before the wipe will be like 'the purge' - cannot wait tbh. I have a guy in hardcore with an m4, acog, the works -
Got to the jailhouse at veresnik earlier, saw a 30 rnd mag then saw an ak on the bed. Struggled to pick up the ak but finally managed it and was just about to load when "You are dead" 11/10

I've been avoiding Berezino for the last while because I like full servers and generally it meant hackers at bere but I went back last night and it was carnage and a lot of fun.
-
Problem or bonus, depending on how you see things. I like having two characters. Two different games imo.
-
If you did something like Hardcore Friday (or whatever day) as a regular thing that'd be an idea to ween people onto hardcore. Anyway keep up the good work, I always enjoy yours and bates vids
-
Was that from your server? I saw one in the list the last few days but presumed that it was someone else because of it being 3p but then I just watched bates vid and it ends with a bit of a joke about the server being full because it's 3p
-
Top class professionalism all round.

Could be overheating. Install msi overburner and turn on the temp overlay.

It happens on experimental servers as well and when your character is in a safe place. Well done to the op in quickly switching back and regaining his character. I've posted about how I saved my character a couple of times here: http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/207676-character-just-reset/ There's issues in the tracker about it too. Plus there's an actual server notice comes up explaining about not being able to connect to the hive when it happens. It is a bug. That's not to say sometimes we can get killed when logging in/out but that's a seperate issue.

Tents dissappearing or looted within half a day
freethink replied to Agony (DayZ)'s topic in General Discussion
They probably already are aware of any tents within their network bubble already. I don't think they can 'see' further than that but I'm not sure. -

Yeah I found the same at green mountain with a smersh backpack full of 45 ammo that I could take and it would instantly reappear. Eugene (sp?) of bi says he's fully aware of it.

This game is and always will be way too military focused by players
freethink replied to billyangstadt's topic in General Discussion
What you are doing is classic concern trolling imo. -

freethink replied to billyangstadt's topic in General Discussion
So a wildly popular mod gets to go to standalone and your idea is to make it different from the thing that made it so successful and anyone disagrees is just into cod. Why don't you just hide in the woods in sa? It's easily possible to live off the land and avoid other players instead of trying to force everyone else to play in a way that the majority of people aren't interested in. -

And what's the sa based off?
