Accolyte

You didn't though. I have tested this yet again. Will always kill my target in 1-2 shots if hitting the torso. Headshots are almost always a one hit kill (colleague who was the target was wearing a helmet). It takes longer to kill someone if you hit their legs, but that kinda makes sense. Ranges we covered were point blank, 2m, 5m, 10m, 20m. Always the same result. Note that the shotgun firing a single pellet is a known problem and is being looked into.

For which we are thankful :)

No one is banned for using non-hack programs (like Fraps, overlays, etc.), picking up or using hacked in-game items, weapons or vehicles, being on a server at the same time as a cheater, or other passive non-cheating activity.No details about your ban (including evidence) will be revealed. Hackers would love to have access to this information and therefore we cannot disclose that.Here are some quotes from the BattlEye FAQ. Because I have some understanding of how BattlEye operates I can assure you that these are absolutely true and no such thing as a false ban exist, excepting one incident in the past which was rectified immediately. BattlEye is also under no pressure to issue bans to "meet some numbers" like you suggested, therefore there is no reason for them to do that. You can only get banned for running some sort of a malicious software. If (and this is a big if) there was something running without your knowledge, Im afraid that is your responsibility and your problem. The criteria for the product being available to use (or the opposite for that matter) are outlined in the respectable TOS and EULA to which you have to agree to before even running the game. If you break either (even unknowingly), access to the software can and will be denied which is a standard practice anywhere really.

We are. But you will understand if I cant really go into detail on things such as this. Punishing someone for something someone else did doesn't seem fair to me, personally. You would end up punishing a lot of people who would be genuinely unaware of what sort of an item they picked up. They could simply just not notice that there is something wrong with the mag before using it. On the other hand spawning a can of beans should indeed be treated the same way as spawning a weapon or an infinite mag. It doesn't matter what item they spawned, its the fact they spawned something that is the problem. I am no programmer or database tech to know all the intricacies of the inventory system. There are a couple of things in the background you're not aware of however and I cant discuss those, sorry. Suffice to say it may not be as easy as it seems at first.

Swap the word "weapon" in my previous post for (any item that is in the game). The logic remains the same. I looked. What about it?

Sigh.. no. That is not what I said at all. You took what I said and interpreted it your way. Picking up a hacked weapon, will not get you banned. Spawning a hacked weapon should obviously get you banned. Are we clear now? ;)

You cannot.. and I stress cannot be banned for using a hacked weapon/magazine/can of beans/pair of shoes. The only way you will ever be banned is if you actively use some sort of a hack or if you tamper with your .pbo files. And yes, that is true.

But friend, that's literally what alpha is. That's what beta is ;) It makes no sense to be constantly stabilizing the game while new content (which will more than likely introduce more bugs) is introduced to the game. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sisyphus

The characters that are spawned on a server are bound to the active Steam ID. It should be impossible to spawn in the game with a character that belongs to another Steam profile. The character that shows up in the main menu is the last character that was played on your computer no matter which account you are logged into. Try connecting to a server to see what character you end up playing as.

That's what they want you to think man..

I just teleported myself outside, spawned me some epic gear and Im coming for you now.

Look, I'm posting! And I dislike reddit! YAAAY! That's today's post taken care of <_<

Did you now? I cant seem to see any such posts here on the forums nor the FT. Mind linking it for me? Also, nice attitude for someone who needs help, just saying ;)

You can leave the "Product version" field blank. It is not a required field. You can enter 0.47 in the "Game version" field.

Those really are not steps to reproduce the problem.

Orlok's socks. Definitely Orlok's socks!

Where's the fun in that? :)

I know what you mean. I remember one situation from the mod where I was hiding under a tree, excited that I finally found a rifle when people started shooting around me. I didn't see them at start, but then someone died right in front of me, about 5m away from the tree I was hiding under. Then someone took cover behind "my" tree. He didn't see me and I was too scared to move. I finally decided to shoot him and then things went quiet. I was then worried to crawl from under my tree, knowing that there was at least one other person around. I waited for about 30 minutes, sweating, my heart beating the whole time. I finally gathered enough courage to poke out and inspect the bodies around and then BAM, I was dead. I had to go for a walk after that experience so that I would calm down. It was probably the strongest experience I ever had in a game. :|

Just keep playing the way you like to. If you die, you die. Just suffer through the mini heart attack, cry a bit and then start over. That's how I dealt with dying in the mod at least. But really, if you still have this fear and you feel the thrill when gunshots are fired around you, I envy you. I loved that feeling about the game, but having played as much as I have I don't really get that anymore.

I will obviously not write up how to .pbo exploit, even though it would only get people banned as of right now, but scripting had nothing to do with it. But seeing as you refuse to hear what I'm saying I'll just stop trying. Not exactly sure what else you want to hear to be honest.

I fail to see how that is disgusting, I'd consider it a bit of an achievement actually. It's been public knowledge ever since scripting was prevented server-side. Which was in January iirc. You are blowing this out of proportion a bit. I have over 3000 hours played and haven't met a single hacker. Perhaps one or two .pbo exploiters, but I can't be sure of that obviously, and that is also a thing of the past. Hackers sort of go with every multiplayer game. I don't think anyone will ever be able to rid their game of hackers (imo). Rest assured that steps are being taken to improve the game's security against hacks, but it will take time. If you are not happy about the current state of the game, come back in a month or two.. or maybe once we hit beta.

Well.. you don't seem to know what you're talking about since scripting has been impossible for about 6 of those 7 months. If you want to resort to name calling and other not-so-nice things may I suggest you at least get your facts straight? And I don't mean just in regards to scripting.

Well I don't believe that. Wallhacks allow you to *see* through walls. Not *shoot* through walls. The only way to shoot through walls (do correct me if I'm wrong) was if you messed around with your .pbo files and that gets you banned pretty much as soon as you connect to a server. One of my junior colleagues actually got busted this way, not knowing the BE update was out. Both of your stories sound a bit sketchy to be perfectly honest.

And what exactly did you expect, honestly?

Oh wow.. I just assumed it was a thread from today. My apologies :D

You should check the FT from time to time... all of you :) http://feedback.dayzgame.com/view.php?id=9230
