emigrates

Welcome to realism. Enjoy your stay!

Seen two of these already, still no AKM though.

What's all this fuss about weapon sway? You've just been sprinting with your rifle out for half an hour, you see someone and you honestly think you'll be able to pull that rifle up and take an 800 metre shot standing and still hit your target after 2 seconds flight time and wind? Back to CoD...

Did you not take note of the message in chat? Something about not being able to connect to the central hive server and when you reconnect your character should respawn? When you saw that, you need to hit escape and join another public hive server. More importantly, it takes less than an hour to get all that gear back again.

Hacks. But seriously, where did you find it? Amen. This guy is sounding like an entitled, stuck up ponce. If you want M4 mags, just stay at North West Airfield and find a heli crash. That, or suck it up.Edit: only bug I've yet to come across is a part of the map me and my friends crashed at during the same time. The moment we walked into this area (near the new Town, on the train tracks) we had encountered a frozen game.

So.. going to post a picture with that AKM? It's not in the patch notes and after several restarts I'm yet to see it, just lots of it's attachments.

Friend restarted his server 6+ times, found all the AKM attachments in Pristine, plenty of rounds but no AKM. I'm assuming someone forgot to put it into the loot spawns!

Just looks like typical desync tbh, Might have been using ESP to see your location, might have just did the same thing as you did and came across you.

Thanks for letting me know, I'll keep that in mind.

Well considering every time you log in you get a warning saying (in big white text) 'This game is in alpha and it is not finished yet', I assumed you didn't need telling again. Obviously I was wrong.

Recommended settings on Steam are benchmark settings, they should not be translated into 'if your settings are higher you will run the game like a dream'. My system specs are significantly higher than yours, however I still get an FPS drop in Berezino. That's just how it is.

I guess I'll be the first to allow my addictions to get the better of me, is there any ETA until the servers are back up? *twitchy hands*

They should have been onto it earlier. A 63 page thread full of people saying the same lines over and over with the only official reply being a mix between Sible and some other mod moving other people's post. I'm being told it was fixed a few days ago, yet nothing is different in game, still the same old shit of gear disappearing and people knowing your exact location. I was all for letting Developers take their time to fix the game, now it just seems like a waste of time and a waste of money. Less cowboy hats, more fixing glitches and exploits.

5 man team of us just got our gear removed from our bodies with nothing but a lonely new spawn running around us. When will these exploits be fixed? This hack completely removes all and any reason to play, if you're a survivalist or a bandit - you log in and your gear is removed by some kid who paid a few pence on his fathers credit card and he can do whatever he wants.

Maybe you are lucky, maybe you're just not spending the largest amount of your time in areas like NEAF. I didn't intend to auto-correct your passage, btw.. I meant to do mine but carried on doing yours in a fit of 'must-spell-right-us'. But I'm actually a Welshman by first language, English is my second, Danish is my 3rd ;)

Collect food, grab gun, go to high pop, die. Collect food, grab gun, go to high pop, die. Collect food, grab gun, go to high pop, die. You must have the patience of a saint if you aren't bothered by someone shooting you through a wall, persistently spraying you with an unlimited mag or someone knowing your exact location at all times. P.S - I just accidently spell corrected your quoted post.

Gladly!

Really? These last few weeks I've come across more no clip or pbo abusers than ever before. After getting in touch with friends using this GPS client, I can see how easy it is to abuse and how hard it is to see if someone else is using it.

Troll? If I join another server, I'll have to wait the original 99 seconds and then get a 'Please Wait' message for a further 99 seconds. If you think 'very few others' have grief with this system, you may wish to listen to the community a bit more.

In short; unless you want to roam low pop servers, raiding small towns surviving without any further human contact. It's fantastic. If however, you want to go to Airfields, Berezino or Svetlojarsk - you can expect people to shoot you through walls, people to know your exact location and people even teleporting in and out besides you.

Hacking status recently has increased like mad. I can barely join any servers now without coming across a hacker. Here's a few situations below; Approx. 1 week ago, me and a friend were looting NEAF. No one approached us, quiet day, low pop server. Suddenly a friend reports seeing someone pop their head out of the hangars. I look through one window, on the upstairs of the jail when suddenly my friend reports he is dead. I move away from all windows and place my back towards the wall. I confirm over TS he's dead, realise there must be a hacker, I check upstairs and downstairs and log out ASAP. We have a friend in the field who has a long range on the building so no one can enter it without him taking a shot. I join an empty server and I'm a fresh spawn, then over TS my friend with the mosin reports someone just appeared in front of him and shot him. During the entire situation no one heard a single gunshot besides on my friend with the mosin. It was almost like we just died because of nothing. Sunday we were all in NEAF, looting a body and about to get out and search ATC when 5 of us came under fire from someone with an unlimited mag in the wall. We couldn't see him but he was spraying us all, I was the only the survivor out of five of us because I ran behind one of the bunk beds and logged out while he entertained himself on my friend. We couldn't see anything, just felt the shots. We can only assume he was in one of the many secret walls and rooms in the airfield jails. Yesterday I was playing with a clan, when someone said over teamspeak "I see someone called emigrates, walking through the woods. Is that one of us?" When I asked how he could see me, he told me was using GPS. I shrugged my shoulders and thought nothing of it. 2 of us hid in a bush with long range covering East Jail and ATC when we came under fire, we ran towards the wood near sunflower field when we kept getting shot at. After I kept running with nothing but a Pistol, I hid behind a massive tree line, there's no way anyone could see through them. I waited 30 seconds and then a further barrage of shots kept coming my way, one of the clan friends told me could see the guy on his GPS chasing me, assuming he's using the same GPS hack. I died. Late last night we organised a 4 man strike on 2 snipers on sniper hill. The moment we got close the two snipers turned around with M4 and started to spray out location as if they knew where we are. I shot one and the other ran, I watched over my team mates body to prevent someone stealing his items after he was shot, made unconscious and his body kept warping so I couldn't bandage him. One of the clan mates reported seeing someone move very fast in my location when i saw something sprint past me at speeds unknown, the people using GPS confirmed he must be using some speed hack, I logged and that was the end of that. After questioning people about the GPS hack, I've been given a download link, information on how to use it and what it does exactly. People believe it's currently undetectable because of the way it works (in the background, set in a browser connecting to a server) as opposed to being an in-game mod. Gladly offer any help and information about it to get this shit stain off the game. There's nothing more game destroying than hacking.

Recently I've seen a massive spark of an increase in people using this GPS hack. Some people are accusing it of being a 3rd party mod that's not detectable, or claiming it's completely fine to use it as it does not conflict the DayZ T.O.S or any other agreements. I'm getting sick of being chased by people, resting by a tree and taking out a weapon just to be gunned down because they can track me using GPS. I'm getting sick of people knowing my exact locations and what weapon I'm using, location I'm facing because they're tracking me using this GPS. I'm not entirely sure what goes into patching these bugs, but from what I'm told people can see anyone around them within 1000m, what weapon they're carrying and where they are facing. I stopped playing with a clan because they were using it. I'm not someone to make DayZ whine threads, I realise this is currently beta and things are changing, but to push a fix for this fast would be amazing. DayZ Dev. current ambitions should be preventing further wall glitching and fixing these loopholes to prevent further use of 3rd party apps. It's game breaking.

Owen - it is Alpha, current developers will be gaining information on our game play which will set the path for the release candidate. How do you think that information will look if it's comprised with massive amounts of hacking? Beck - Thanks for clearing that up. NexVentor - Nope, I don't use it. Completely destroys the objective if someone is using an unfair advantage like this. I'll try and get a link tomorrow off one of my old clan mates, then record a video of what exactly it does. Obviously, no links to a software download or name. The less people using this, the better. It's crippling me and my friends. I can understand where you're coming from, it's not even 3rd person or looking through walls that annoys me, it's people who blatantly go into secret walls like in airfield jails. Go onto a high pop server and run into a jail, take a look through the upstairs wall and your guaranteed to see someone or something that someone has dropped. These issues need to be fixed before any further content release, in my opinion. Apologies for lame posting, using my HTC.

I understand where you're coming from, but personally I've always got more ammo than I ever need and I don't think trading will ever work on DayZ. If I want something someone else has got, I tend to kill them for it.

It's a good idea no doubt, however it sounds like an awful lot of work. Unless they change the actual spawn rate of ammo then I personally believe people will get sick of it and just go to the nearest police station or airfield.
