Jumping isn't needed and I agree that it will look silly having survivors bunny hopping everywhere. However a huge improvement would be to add a running vault to the vault mechanic. Currently you must come to nearly a complete stop to hop a fence. Hampering your ability to run from zombies and other players. Picture running at a fence followed by placing one hand on it and hopping both legs over simultaneously. Using your hand as a support to help with the load you are carrying on your back allows you to keep up your speed and assist in making the jump over the fence which would be impossible to do with a jump alone.

Hiding tents is unrealistic... But so is having a completely unguarded tent while logged off. Let's face it you would protect the stuff with your life if you were online so having it completely vulnerable when you are offline is just as unrealistic.... A better option would be to have a sleeping A. I. That appears at a random 30-60 minute interval after you log off. Solving the issue of a completely unguarded tent upon logging. The A. I. will not be a huge difference from you sitting at your tent and protecting your stuff if you get ambushed. The A. I. Will be just as prone to an ambush as you would be and would serve as a bit of a deterrent. Basically the a. I. Will be a placeholder for you until you log back in. It will look the same as you and have no further function other than to guard that tent. And unlike locking tents this doesn't make your stuff any less vulnerable than if you were to be sitting there watching g over it yourself. Conditions that would make this possible: 1. A. I. Appears at a random time between 30-60 minutes. (helps prevent exploits) 2. It starts off as sleeping and will wake if you make too much noise or access the tent. A. I. Will do random 25m radius patrols pirodically every 90 minutes or so. 3. A. I. Will fight with the weapon you give it and will have similar skill to the average difficulty arma2 soldier A. I. 4. A. I. Will not appear if you log out more than 25m from your tent. 5. If your A. I. Is killed you take 70-80% blood damage. If the a. I. Wins the fight you will take whatever blood damage the a. I. Survived with up to 70% and you will be bleeding upon logging in. Now with all of this being said. Underground storage is a plan for the future dayz so whether or not this is necessary is questionable. On a side note being able to train guard dogs that you must feed etc. Would be a cool deterrent to thieves. Although most likely not super effective it would be fun.

You are not able to receive any more pm's for some reason according to the forums so I will post here. You are currently not hiring any pilots. However I would like to extend my services to you as a pilot when/if a position becomes available. I am a competent pilot capable of high speed low level flying as well as landings in tight spaces. My current character is also capable of night flights (has nvg's). PM me if interested. Thanks for your consideration.

He had very visibly aggro'd zombies 5-10 seconds before he ran in on you. You had plenty of time to react and be prepared. Just be more aware of your surroundings.

I doubt a hatchet would break after hitting a soft human body 200 times since it is a tool designed to withstand well over 200 hits on a much harder substance I.e. wood. It doesn't make sense if you think about it for more than half a second.

Battle eye does not ban for picking up hacked objects. It bans when it detects you running your illegal scripts.

Helicopters are currently not available on any server running current patches. Any chopper found on a server running the current mod version is hacked unless someone managed to keep said helicopter up and running from a previous version when they were in game. Also no it's not possible to enable them on your server.

Generally your character will not be rolled back upon a server reset unless you are in a vehicle which you were unfortunately however it is always best to logg first. For some reason the servers seem to have trouble tracking your character location while driving etc... Also always remember to save the vehicle because a vehicle will almost always (occasionally it sticks with you) get reset back to its last save point.

I think on the same day, we find a helicopter and gank it on our server and go stick in a safe spot until the admins can respond to our thread about if they are back in (http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=24165 ). Not a hour or so later, your whole crew magically shows up and steals the copter which turns out to be hacked since it never respawned after the server crash (assumption based on the fact u thought we stole it back). Then the next day me and my crew log onto a server we see you on (will have to wait for friend to confirm name, but wasn't US138) and we see a heli, shoot it so it has to make emergency landing, we watch them spawn a new heli and take off leaving the old one behind. So we have you and your group magically in or around 3 hacked helis in the span of a day or two. None of my crew had seen one since they were removed before a few days ago that I know of. I will have to confer with the admins and take a vote, but at this point, my vote is that you need to find a new place to play because everywhere you go there seem to be hacks and I am a believer of where there is smoke there is fire. actually, We Have video and audio of the events that happened as we found this stuff. I spawned on the island (glitch because I logged off on krutoy cap), I was on the after server hopping because the servers we were playing on was getting night and US138 was down because of the hacked Chinook. (We have video of finding it) I also have an audio fragment of the guy teaching me how to fly your helicopter (has to be yours because it was right next to your tents). I picked them up, let the guy who taught me how to fly get in the pilot seat. He took us back to your tents where we ran around looting the tents. We took off 5 minutes later. That's when we were about to land off map a little. Right as we are descending, a black man appears in the chopper with us. Not any of us because we are all white. We land he gets out and we Killed him. The server then crashes. A majority of your clan is now on at this point defending your base. Our guy who spawned in first (who had your boat) said he heard the helicopter leaving the area but could not see because he had no NVGs. We took his boat and headed towards your base to seek vengeance on that admin abuse your guy pulled. If that helicopter wasn't yours... then why were you guys there defending your base with sniper as soon as the server reset after killing the guy who spawned on the huey with us? I'm a believer of whoever did the rhyme, did the crime. Truth is, we have the footage. The sequence of events are slightly off here as I would like to shed some enlightenment on what actually happened. I was.. as you put it the "black guy" in the chopper that was not a member of your team". "We took off 5 minutes later. That's when we were about to land off map a little. Right as we are descending, a black man appears in the chopper with us." I actually logged onto the island after taking an hour or so break after a cramp raid while the rest of my team was out in the NW hiding our other vehicles. To my surprise upon logging in I find that I hear the chopper in the air somewhere near the island. It turns out that your team had stolen it and was coming in for a landing at that time. As the chopper landed I managed to sneak onto it without you guys noticing. If you have footage of the event from that point you will see that I was the guy that was on the left hand side of the chopper after your entire team got in (I was the last to get in as a door gunner). If this is not the visible sequence of events then there is some holy god of a lag spike that prevented me from showing up with you guys until the point of your clams. Thinking that I would possibly be more successful recovering it once you guys had landed somewhere else and the chopper had been powered down and the pilot had gotten out (thus preventing a shootout and me getting killed and accomplishing nothing). After enjoying the flight your team landed the chopper and all of you exited except for the pilot. You still hadn't noticed me at this point contrary to your statement because you actually all left the chopper ran to a treeline to the north and left your pilot behind. If you had noticed me upon the landing sequence you for some reason decided that the random guy was okay to just chill there for a while. At this point I was waiting for the pilot to leave. Changing positions in the chopper and just chilling for a couple of minutes. Unfortunately for myself he never got out. I decided to get out of the chopper and kill him. But for some reason after unloading a whole bunch of bullets into the pilots side window your pilot took no damage. (I believe there may be some aramaII anti-friendly fire mechanism that makes it difficult to kill people when you are shooting at a vehicle right beside it and are on the same team (in DayZ everybody logs in on the Blue-for team and this may be an unintended mechanic due to that). Feel free to correct me if i'm wrong. Perhaps he just got lucky. Your team then ran out of the treeline to the chopper (that I had gotten back into as a door gunner on the right hand side this time). Two of you came back looked at me and one ran off. That's when one with what looked like the FN-FAL with NV scope shot me in the head. If you guys are going to post accusations of cheating you should ensure your story is correct and full and not missing significant chunks from the timeline. Also your accusations must be in the realm of possibility. "We took his boat and headed towards your base to seek vengeance on that admin abuse your guy pulled." 1. I am not a server admin. 2. A sever admin can neither spawn or place himself or anyone else anywhere on the map or inside of any vehicle. 3. All other questions about where the chopper came from had been answered by previous posts and there was a link provided showing actions being taken to figure out the source of the chopper and what we were doing to determine its legitimacy. 4. As stated before the server crash caused us to loose 4 vehicles that were being driven out in the northwest and tele-ported two of our guys to krutoy for some stupid reason who you got in a firefight with thus causing us to loose more gear since you were able to kill them off as well.
