TheProphecy

I don't see why not. The mod was extremely barebones when it came out in March or April 2012. New stuff came out over time. It's a given that you'll see something very similar with the SA. Very barebones in the beginning (even moreso than the mod IMO), but over time it'll evolve and grow.

This is a problem I had when I first played the mod, and it has carried over to the standalone. On the mod, you knew where the hotspots were. Stary, NWA, Cherno, Elektro, Berezino and to a lesser extent, Devil's Castle and NEA (just too far out of the way). The big cities have turned into ghost towns now. I've run through Elektro, Stary and Cherno multiple times and have seen a handful of people. I haven't been to Berezino, as there's really no reason to go there. All of the action is now condensed to less than a 3rd of the map. I don't see how making everyone spawn on the east coast makes the situation any better. All it does is make people run longer before going to Balota, Zeleno, the military bases and NWA. Why not take one of those military bases and move it inside the triangle of Dubrovka, Gvozdno and Krazzy? Just a thought.

The issue is we have a huge map, but the vast majority of it is absolutely useless. This isn't a mod anymore and people can't use excuses like that to defend it. We paid $30 (or the regional equivalent) for this game. I don't think it's unreasonable to want the other 2/3 of the map to have some significance/reason to explore.

Read the date on that post. The full bandit skin was already in before. It was taken out because it was deemed useless, but then it was put back in for reasons I still don't understand.

You were banned for scripting. You know exactly what you did.

Here's a crazy idea; Remove the military-grade snipers because guess what, they don't make any sense whatsoever. The only sniper that has any place in the setting we're supposed to be buying into is the CZ.

Two stores, a school, hospital, 6 apartments, military tents, a few medium yield stables, 10 medium yield industrials, 2 deer stands (3 if you count the one NW of the hospital), low population compared to Cherno and Elektro. It's easily the best big city for loot. One unlucky trip through the city doesn't mean anything at all.

So, I'll try to set this up. At least a week ago me and some group members were playing on this server. We were camping Cherno behind the apartments. There were three guys on the tallest building with the letters on it. I sniped two of them, one of my group members sniped the third. After that, some random person was banned from the server because "you can't use the AS50 at night." Exact words from what I remember. I remember that event vivdly, and it was a half or full moon night. I had my gamma and brightness all the way up, and I don't need to tell you guys what that's like. After that message popped up, my friend who got the last kill heard someone walking behind him and talking in direct. He turned, nothing there. Turned around again and he was shot dead. A couple days later, we log into the same server to raid the hopsital and apartments in Cherno. As we were exiting the apartments, a guy with a ghillie was running down from the sniper hill north of the apartments. We killed him, logged off and that was that. I haven't played on the server since. Fast forward to today. One of my group members regularly plays on the server because it has "epic load times" and is usually low pop. He found another ATV while driving his around, and I was the only guy on our TS channel at the time, so I volunteered to come get it. I try logging into the server, and I get a message that says I was banned for Cheating/Hacking. It's only on that server so it's not a global ban by BE (at least I think that's the way it works), so I can only assume this is a delayed ban for sniping those guys in Cherno that one night. So yea, that's pretty much it.

1. You were not pretty sure of anything. You gave me a list of 4 names. 2. I've only come across two M4A1 Holo's since I started playing (one SD, one non-SD), both came from dead player bodies. When I found the non-SD version (like a month and a half ago), I checked the wiki, it was there. I assumed this was an ultra rare version, guess I was wrong. Regardless, that log you posted is not proof of me scripting anything in, only merely having it in my inventory. Rocket himself has stated you cannot get banned for picking up a scripted weapon. Also, UZI SD mags = PDW SD mags. http://www.dayzwiki.com/wiki/PDW_SD_Mag. Found them in a tent city on another server. 3. I assumed rob was the admin given his post. My mistake. 4. Don't really care what you say, I saw someone get banned and the reason for it was exactly as I posted. What was their name? Who the hell knows? I only remember it because it came literally seconds after I sniped those two people and because the message itself is both funny and retarded. LOL. "My server got hacked, and I banned you for having a scripted weapon (which I can't prove you actually scripted in). You're talking shit on me and my server, so you must have some friends continuing your legacy." Here's a tinfoil hat, wear it with pride. I know you got hacked because I already said in the PM, my friend who plays on your server everyday said, "The CHOPPA server was hacked today." I've already given you the names of my group members in the PM, and you can go right ahead and chock those logs of yours to find out they play on that server everyday. If I was a scripter and I had my buddies attacking your server for petty revenge, why would I give you their names? TL;DR: Unban me, keep me banned whatever. I honestly don't care. I wanted to get on that server to help move an ATV, that's it. For the future, though, if you ban someone for scripting, show proof of them actually scripting (because again, the terms you agreed to say you can't ban without proof). This is a good example. http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/76720-hacker-scripting-in-uh1h-dz/.

Add these to that list: Get rid of barbed wire. Fix the glitchiness of the new skins. Increase the loot chances of bear traps/make them work properly. Fix duping via changing clothes. Fix the random spawning on the shore.

1. You have absolutely no idea what my in-game name is. 2. I've never picked up a weapon not in the loot table since I've been playing this game (3+ months). 3. It would be a cold day in hell before someone kills two guys from 700+ meters away with an LMG before the people being shot at Alt+F4. 4. The ban message definitely said, "You can't use an AS50 at night." 5. You were probably one of the people I sniped and just couldn't take it. BTW, this server got hacked again today according to one of my group members, so GG I guess. Keep wasting your money paying for servers you have no control over.

Reverting back to .4. Still getting artifacting on some servers (albeit, not as bad), magazines still being refilled on logout, bandit skin glitches, etc. Basically, everything that was supposed to be fixed is still broken, and the new skins are broken as well.

Did you even bother to read the page? "The population of Chernarus is a combination of Chernarussian and Russian peoples. Russian populations are mostly condensed in the Northeastern region of South Zagoria in towns such as Krasnostav." That's pretty self-explanatory.

Camo, ghillie, NVG's, GPS, rangefinder, AS50 (with NATO rounds), M4A1 CCO SD, L85, MK 48. Any of those interest you?

First off, MAJOR LOL if you believe every player who wasn't killed by PvP was killed by zombies. How many were killed by glitches, and better yet, how many hit the fucking respawn button? Also, Do you know how many deaths were avoided due to aborting or ALT + F4ing? Tens of thousands at least. You can't even get a confirmed kill unless you have a sniper rifle or sneak up on someone. Use your brain.

The guy's voice is way too annoying.

1. Once the duping problems get fixed, the HIVE needs to be wiped. 2. The only sniper that fits in with the theme of the mod IMO is the CZ, so cut the rest. 3. Since so many hill campers will be furious with point 2, just take the chances of finding all snipers (minus the CZ) and halve them.

Right now, our group is comprised of around 10 players. The estimation is because there are a couple of people who used to play that just never show up anymore, but technically they're still in the group. Anyway, of those 10 or so, only 5 of us are active on a daily basis. A little bit about the group: - We are not a serious group. We don't have a chain of command, set tactics for raiding an area, set agendas for any given day, etc. - Everyone in the group is in their 20's. - Everyone is on EST, with the exception of one member who is on PST. - We play mainly at night, usually from 8 or 9 PM to 2 AM (all times EST). - We do not have a true home server. We tried setting up shop on 3 different servers, hackers ruined the experience every time. We have a server that houses our gear, but we usually switch to a random server when we are looking to really play. - We are not pacifists who hoard gear and don't use it. We go to Cherno/Stary/NW for PvP on a somewhat daily basis. The latest patch has ruined most of our PvP experience because of the graphical errors, but once it's fixed we will continue. What I ask of anyone who sounds interested: - Your timezone does not matter all that much, just make sure you can play around the above times. We play on mainly east coast servers, so that is something to keep in mind. - I don't like setting arbitrary age limits, but we talk about a lot of mature stuff and all that jazz, so please be of an appropriate age. - You must have a mic and download TeamSpeak 3. - Please have some familiarity with ArmA and the mod. The last couple people we've brought in were new, and hearing "Winchester or Lee Enfield" while we're at NW on a full server is annoying. If you've read through all of that and are interested, PM me and we'll go from there.

Please, explain. Also, what engine do you think they're going to use for this standalone game?

His name is actually [PT] Doobie. Pretty funny because he was using his ESP and GPS where he could see other players and he was waiting for one to ambush. The player he was waiting to ambush actually found him and killed his ass. He had the gull to complain about the other guy lagging and not being able to afford good internet.

Whining can be feedback sometimes. "I'm sick of this shit" in regards to hackers is lacking any sort of details, but it's right to the point and it's feedback that the hacker problem is real and needs to be dealt with. It's worth noting that the OP did not just say "I'm sick of this shit," as he did give two different accounts of how he was hacked. As for suggestions to improve, it's moot. We can suggest ideas until we get carpal tunnel, but it'll just fall on deaf ears. Server admins (who can see logs of what goes on in their server), have been asking for more help in controlling servers they're paying for, and absolutely nothing has been done to help. The standalone game was just announced today with Bohemia finally getting behind it. I just hope they realize how terrible BE is and either develop something in-house or find an anti-cheat system that actually works, because IDK how many people would pay for a standalone game with hacking as bad as it is now.

Yes, it's an alpha. You and 1,000 other people make that very clear every single day. However, just because it's an alpha doesn't mean we should just sit down, shut up and accept whatever comes our way. Let's not forget that the end goal of this is to become a standalone game which we will have to pay for. Without the community feedback, this mod stays exactly as it is now. Hacking is absolutely rampant right now. I can't stay in a full-ish server for longer than 30 minutes without being teleported to debug forest, the thunderdome, way outside the map, on a hill with a ton of bear traps, etc. Instead of everyone shrugging their shoulders and saying, "whelp, let's remember it's just an alpha guys," we should indeed be angry and pissed off. This mod has raked in a boatload of money for Bohemia Interactive that they never even could have dreamed of pulling in prior to DayZ. Rocket has stated he has been offered money by other companies for funding, but he would rather work with Bohemia. If that's the case, pressure should be put on Bohemia to turn their piece of shit anti-hack measures into something that actually works. Not only have they made a killing so far on CO sales, but they would make even more money on the standalone game.

Everyone is pretty much aware of the hacking problem and anything being said has already been said. BE is terrible, doesn't stop hackers and it won't in the future. We can't do anything about it until the mod becomes a standalone game.

Oh yes, it makes so much sense that a virus which has wiped out almost the entire world can be resisted simply by not killing anyone. I guess all of the infected that spawn in were murderers as well, am I right?

So you think it's silly to force players into wearing a face wrap and whatever the hero thing will be, but you don't find it silly that you want to force players into wearing a zombie skin?
