First: I think what a lot have people have been confused about is that rocket is unfairly robbing some hackers of their $30 for hacking a game in alpha. Realize that while the mod is in alpha, the BattleEye system has been around for about 3 years, and hacking it (ArmA II) results in a permaban from the ArmA II dev's and BattleEye, not DayZ or its staff. Second: It has been very obviously posted that in order to recieve a global ban, hacking scripts/programs/injectors would have to be detected on your computer. This means that if you recieved a global ban, you MUST have done something to deserve it. No amount of GUID spoofing could get an innocent player banned. Third: I feel like the only reason rocket and friends are having some fun with the hackers is because this is a free mod, which takes a huge toll on them personally, and after fixing the biggest problem in the game (hacks) they are getting yelled at by angsty 14 year olds who are siding with the known hackers. Good job rocket and team, keep up the good work, love the mod and would love to be able to donate to your project.

It wasn't listed in the patch notes but ever since I started using the beta patch my load times have gone from ~2min to ~5sec on all servers.

I dont think anything this complicated will ever be added in :/ Why not just have a BF3 style (one use!) defib that are rare, hospital/ residential spawns and make it insta-revive to 6k blood? EDIT:(but doesn't fix ailments)

Well, in theory it could work. I have never tried it myself but seeing as how most people who have them play this game for long stints of time (1-4 hours) and are able to keep their camo, it makes sense. It sounds like it is just an issue with the main server updating your status, so I would say the longer you stay on the safer you are.

Ander has a point, I think the most one can do is give an over all statistic (live they already have). Side note: I don't know if I missed a decision on this, but please never make a heatmap for the mod.

Sounds like a great patch, I can't wait. Using the beta also seems to have solved all issues I ever had with the mod (load time/ fps).

I think the 5 second delay is enough. The only reason I ever DC is when server hoppers get the drop on me. Its not that I am trying to pussy out, I just don't feel the need to die to people who are also exploiting the game.

Just when I thought the mod was about to go south, rocket pulls this. Great work!
