q.S Sachiel

bro... people have hacked into the NSA, NASA, foreign government banks... refuse to believe all you want, but everything is vulnerable to some form of attack. It's just the time, resources and dedication of the attacker that determines whether something is 'safe'.

weapons are a tool just like cutlery. The question is just as vague as 'what utesil should i use to eat my dinner'. well, it depends on the dish, of course ;) That said, your kit is pretty apex at the moment...

fixt. like the change of threat title tho... also, one on the right's not too bad. I've been rummaging through eastern bloc women all the way here from berry... and well... beggars can't be choosers. After what I've been through, even contestant #2 is appealing. TBH i'm just looking for someone that has a pulse and lets me get within 100m of it.

Did you see blood? If you don't see blood (hit splatter) then you didn't hit / game didn't register. Could have been lag/ desynch / general Dayz gnomes replacing your rifle with blanks. depends on what range you were to them, and if you'd zeroed your scope to a different range (zero to 500+m with <20m range to target shouldn't miss unless you aim at top of head or something but if you're zeroed well past real range and zoomed in you may have missed). i had a strange encounter once at NWAF when sitting in conifer trees. I didn't have the trunk in front of me, but was partially concealed by branches and leaves. I fired and did not see any smoke puff from bullet impact near / on my target, but I've heard that the hit indicator may have been removed in some previous/current patch... I was at less than 20m and they were up against a wall. with a 75 round mag I should have hit at least once with a controlled set of hip-fire bursts, but they survived that encounter. My money is on glitch, but i've not identified hidden walls or clipping issues in buildings with firearms yet. Swinging a melee weapon indoors though, and you'll just be scraping walls/ceiling the whole time.

Was playing at 2am the other night, respawned in Berry and found a baseball bat. This chick in a pink jumper was running over the place nice and glitchy and started cutting me up with a scythe. The few times my swing connected, i got a gunshot richochet sound, and saw a flash on her scythe. Bitch was parrying my blows!!! in rock paper scissors, scythe > baseball bat. Just more proof that Gommunist Rassia has the one up on the capitalist paradigm.

John Proctor, I demand your signature!

ok to recap: You came here aiming to get these people banned. This can be seen in your language. Multiple posts (first 4) request whether they can be banned for their 'offense' and where you should direct your complaint to. Is this a bannable offense and if I happened to have footage of someone who had one of these, with proof of their name, time, date, and server they were connected to, would there be any point in reporting it, who would I report it to, and would they be subject to ban? Ah I see.. so if I got this guys name and could tell you what server he was on at what date and what time, could you guys do anything about it? You were told where to take your information, or at least where not to You were told that staff/support members don't see being in posession of inf mags as an instant red-card You name and shame players with questionable evidence You suggest that players with inf mags are intentionally being used by those with them, yourself excluded, and should be punished/'problem fixed': conversation turns to discussing hacked inf mags and people's opinions on how to solve the issue. I count 2+ posters on this vein. Please, turn your information in to Battle Eye or the relevant party and report back with an update. Would be interesting to see the official response.

nope, just saying if you're gonna ban people and take away their purchased product (eula product isn't yours blablabla...) then you should be more specific and accurate in your targeting. Look, you saw your bit, but what you showed, he didn't fire jack. you tar his friend / accomplice / person you saw him with with the same brush, with even less evidence in the vid. your thread asks where you can go with evidence to punish these people, i really see no evidence. Simple. You couldn't even get a VAC ban for CS with this information you provided. I'm not going to go around witch-hunting or expecting legit players to be culled with the rest, but you can keep your point of view, however strange and contorted I find it. You build a straw man when you propose i defend hackers, and that the developer/3pp's inability to control hackers is an outcome of my point of view. Unstoppable force meets immovable object it would appear.

heard somewhere a while back that gasmask can reduce damage to head? not sure in which areas, but if it's all surfaces, then maybe it did something to stop headshot damage completely, or just protect full front and part rear head. :S. Still would like to see some environ-hazards like smoke/rot/particles/rads in some places to warrant the use of this, maybe even weapons ie tear/chemical gas/weapons. Would be cool to see dust masks preventing spread / contraction of diseases once implemented also. Give some reasons to justify a person wearing a mask and take the reasons away from people saying 'just 'caus mask'. more sheep's clothing the better ;)

i'd like to see destructable doors / barricades for doors. For the more tactical approach, perhaps also a fractional open/close mechanic like Rainbow 6 series where you could (using scroll wheel) open/close door to a position you wanted, perhaps just a crack, perhaps pushing open slowly to clear at your own pace, rather than boolean open/closed. -probably a hard one for engine to keep track of every door open at 'x' amount tho :S.

tbh your video only really shows the guy has an inf mag and i don't see any clear proof that he shot 60+ rounds. Even though the guy's got it (two weapons), your editing shows neither him abusing his item or that of his partner Beans, just that Skody had it on him. Not sure about the exploding fuel station thing though, but i see no clear evidence for skody doing anything other being in posession, and Beans i couldn't ID at all (believe you merely stated he was accomplice in text w/o video). Follow the directions above to report to Battle Eye / Server Host but I don't see much happening from this evidence alone. Yep hackers are bad, but i bet if you guys lost your account to a ban because of these draconian rules you propose you'd be spitting chips harder than the hackers who see it as just another pay-wall to their trolling. (as a quick calc, 30$ Dayz+15$ hack bundle = 2x attempts ~90$, which is close to a full production cost for AAA titles that get changed out every year, per hacker). I hope they implement your proposal, you pick up a hacked mag accidentally once DayZ SA goes gold, get banned, and you need to pay 80$ for another copy. You've stopped short of suggesting we cut off their hands, which is good. Thinking about it from a business based perspective, driving away legitimate paying customers through bans etc... may cost more damage than the inevitable and constantly evolving mob of hackers who are present in EVERY multiplayer game despite whatever anti-cheat procedures are implemented. case in point: Draconian laws not working, sometimes to detriment of legitimate/paying persons, always reactionary and with response lagging behind evolving 'offenders': *piracy & DRM - still need checks on my purchased product, still gotta read and watch EULA despite me paying for and not intending to pirate purchased property. Sometimes aggressive DRM programs. *war on drugs - extra powers to government, reduction of privacy and liberties of populace *hackers & Anticheat in MP games. - blanket rules, 3pp checks on legitimate players, whitelist application processes etc... (time wasting / unfair bans & assoc. financial loss) Associating a lack of an over-board, knee-jerk reaction to one facet of the hacker problem doesn't constitute 'sending the wrong message'/encouraging hackers imo... pick your fights -I have confidence that Bohemia / DayZSA is doing just this, and further into the future.

If you can't find your way out of glitch-basement (aka: rape dungeon) then you deserve to starve... IRL Also, i usually press it in hard and let my finger linger on it for ~1sec and don't have too much issue. Occasionally while running i do a hurdle-step and not a vault, but not sure if this has something to do with crouch-running or being out of breath (or just bug). Press when about 1-2m before the fence and you'll usually clip through it even if you don't quite clear it on your return to earth. Used to be able to glitch it like this well (pressing V much earlier than necessary then walking through the obstacle) but they seem to have reduced the range of grace back in .45 or so..

Your specs look acceptable. May be a vista issue, but i'm just biased against Vista/ME... ;) 9600GT 1GB should perform acceptably, but as i've been out of the tech game for some time... is that a relatively old card? 1-2yr? Could be an issue here, or conflict with program. Do you have this issue or similar with other programs? Which programs if yes? Are your drivers up to date? Have you tried running everything in lowest possible GFX settings? see if this helps then scale up until you break it.

yeah, i reckon if you get a few clanners involved they'll be on the TS anyway, an probably invite the pugs in to up their chances... i'd allow anyway though maybe not encourage it. if someone wants to sit on in-game and disadvantage themselves then good luck and respect. Hard to prove i know, you may want to invest in some awards for these diggers. Can o krass and a mountain backpack to all legit communicators ;).... dreaming up some acchieves/awards (&rewards) may drum up some support for your player-base too. or... just get a mule character to go kit themselves out with 40 walkie-talkies and distribute them amongst players on game-day. (never used walkie-talkie in game tho, so dont' know if they even work). Pipsi rewards on talkie hand-in to prove you at least carried it for duration.

why not just set up a ts channel with 1-2-3 rooms for the teams and referrees. Eliminates the disadvantage and allows a member you choose to moderate/'supervise' the individuals/teams.... Not sure how you're going to coordinate effective communication to the teams (start stop) or between referees during game without a 3ppVOIP, at least for the refs. Otherwise the ref's will just be observers for the most part, and they'll need close prox to talk to anyone (could be an issue addressing captains / team as a whole). Could also be handy in reporting wild-cards/rogues to the group, if you fail to completely 'stack' the server with your event/randoms slip in. Good luck.

could try pumping in water though that would probably mix to some degree and fk ur shit up. May be able to build a seal and force it out by breath, but that would be hella hard from the ground (although my lung capacity in game is godlike)...

sill my favourite disappointing death: had just done a few good RP fights in berez when i went onto the balcony of a high-density apartment balcony to eat my beans. teleport off the balcony and fall to death d uring eating...

It's not an assumption. It's my experience, hard fact. I found them after 0.45. Admittedly i haven't seen them included since 0.46 patch but that doesn't mean they're not there, and i can't account for bugs that make elusive crash sites not spawn (how do you prove something's not there if you can't find it?). They may also have been removed from stable, but I have no information of this (noone's brought to table either yet...) I killed a man for an M4 yesterday. with full attachments +acog (was bugged). He had 4x40 5.56 rounds and a 1x40 round stanag clip. Either he's had it for a long time, or they're out there for people to find still. I saw crash sites in stable over 2 weeks ago. either they're there and you're missing them, or they're not there for whatever reason, still seen em. plz don't make assumptions when ur not 100% sure!

Heli crash sites have been in stable since 0.45 i believe... seen several, looted M4 & mags, and killed a man recently for his m4 which I hid in NWAF prison. still a few kicking around. Don't forget the blue medical/doctors surgery that you find around the place, case in point: long blue single storey, black shingle roof roughly opposite road from police station of Berez. Food, occasional test kits, bbags etc..

Probably came off a bit strong. I get that you're putting yourself more at risk. You're right though, it's another strategy to survive. :)

like i said, i'm not much help on the issue. Try search function (top right) I've never held one, so i wouldn't know how they appear. it should be apparent to more veteran players, you're correct, was just highlighting the difficulties in proving guilt if a legit player has an item that they didn't break TnC to obtain (if the anecdotes hold true of course...)

No idea on your question to be honest. I have heard anecdotally that these items, once 'hacked' into game are transferrable to characters with the trait retained (inf ammo) so if true a legit player could kill and loot a hacked char and have the mag unknowingly, and arguably the item becomes 'theirs' to keep without them having broken T&C. Also, I think battle eye / server host is the person to talk to, Dayz/forums probably don't have too much to do with that at this point.

No, i don't pretend to be friendly. You're a threat if you're afraid of me and are telling me to disarm. Just because I pick my engagements and wait for an opportunity to kill you doesn't make me friendly... I'll calculate my odds and execute accordingly. I'm just pointing out that you're the only one with a weapon in the hands in your scenario, meaning the other person needs to trust you with their lives while you refuse to do so to others. Just an observation, but i'd be skeptical and murdery if you asked the same of me is all.

compass gives bearing not location, but yeah. atm i've got 2x yellow cases and 2x 300 boxes so space isn't an issue :)

Pretty sure there's gas stations further inland towards NW around Zeleno & Stary. There was no real issue in the mod, save for me getting pinged frequently by m4/dmr campers hiding in the hills while i landed on the station to refuel. I'd expect the clanners to be locking down gas stations anyway, meaning the vehicle will probably only go to a selection of stations that the clanners feel safe at. This means more buck for your bang i guess, because the 5 clones trying to stay out of sight will be a beacon to campers waiting for the vehicle to show up ;) but vehicles are still over the horizon at this point.
