@Bororm just watched Brian Hicks stream and he said following in regard to cheating: http://www.twitch.tv/dayz/b/568207539?t=99m57s i think that answers our questions :)

What you said this time makes much more sense. If they have resources to get a team or even 1 person who will be dedicated to fixing cheating holes that would be cool, i just do not want development slowed down by that, as that is something they can fix down the road. Also did some reading on the cheating and everyone said there are much less cheaters on HC servers. As for my play style: when i play alone i play very safe. When i play with a friend we gear up and we go out looking for trouble in large cities. While i never saw a cheater i was killed few times by people ghosting (or how ever you call it when they switch the server to get behind your back).. Imagine how it feels when you have 1h fight.. 2 vs about 10.. you kill like 3 of them and you die in that way.. i lost will to play the game for like 5 days....

Not sure how many hours i have in SA, i think 100h or so. I never saw a cheater. I played 80% of that time on first person servers. You will always have cheaters and exploiters. What they need to do is to act quickly when something like this happens but some more common cheats will aways be there. No matter how much you patch it new ones will always come. Look at the example of counter stike GO, i am sure if someone knows how to stop cheaters then it should be valve, yet they also have problems with it. What they do is that they just update VAC so you can see sweaping bans every few weeks/months. And i think this will be only solution for dayz in the future also. You wont ever have dayz without cheaters, what you will have is large bans every few weeks when they are able to track current common cheats. I also do not agree that they should dedicate too much man power into fixing as much cheating as possible. I would rather have them focus on adding more things into the game and deal with cheaters in the beta. I would guess when game goes into beta price will go up also to about 30 euro or so, and when game goes out to 45 euro or so. Games with high price have much less cheaters just look at world of warcraft. i played it for thousands of hours (stopped few years ago) never saw a cheater. Why? Because no sane person wants to risk to waste 70-80 euros just to cheat. You will have few insane ones but after they get banned 1-2 times they will stop :) Also problem with games like CS GO is that you can buy it for 2 euro on sale.. tl;dr Fix large issues like this spawning thing and dedicate rest of the man power into making the game better, like new render, new controls, new UI :)

Thank you a lot for the info you posted. I am afraid i do not have time to mess around on experimental. I would rather play on stable when i have time. But i do not want to lose all my gear in that way again :( I will just lurk around every few days and if i do not find anything i will bump this thread :)

Any updates on this issue?

I think i saw somewhere that it's not a hack, but a bug? but when i spawned there was someone there throwing grenades...

bump anyone?

haha sorry, i am at work so had to register and make a post really fast so no one sees me :P I am sure it's clear i meant "play" :)

Hello, few days ago i lost my character to that spawn bug thingie (spawned next to the bridge with bunch of black ladies) My question: is this still happening? i do not work this weekend and i would like to pay play a bit but i do not want if this is still happening. Thank you :) EDIT For anyone else wondering the same: Brian Hicks addressed this issue, as well as some other exploits/cheats, in his stream.
