Made you click on this thread didn't it? Job complete.

I am Hot Rod, not a hacker, I can promise you that. Here's what actually happen from beginning to end. Had a friend, the one flying that helicopter, get killed at starry by an invisible man. When he respawned he ran all the way back to his body. Mean while I was North East of Starry trying to find his attacker when I see a helicopter, so naturally I go to investigate, and see to people in it. At this point I am armed to the teeth with just about everything you can think of. So i take out the 2 dudes at the chopper and my friend, we will call him "Chris", informs me that he was South of Starry and there was a chopper near his body. I figure this is the same chopper he was near. When I do a map check I find out the chopper I found was not any where near "Chris'" body. So we then deduce that there where 2 choppers in the area. The chopper I had found had, oh I don't know, 30 to 40 cows near it. So from that I deduced that that chopper had be hacked in. But I approach it to get the guys names that I had just killed and pass them on the server admin. Then suddenly the "You are dead!' screen appears. Damn right? Well whatever at this point "Chris" has gotten back to his body and picked up what we had thought to be the "legit" chopper. So he proceeds to pick me up from the coast and rush me back my body. This is where you 2 come into the story. South West of Pusta is where we I met him so there is less of a chance of running into players, clearly something I will rethink in the future. Anyways, "Chris" says to me he is going to log and just give me the chopper. So he lands it and logs, then immediately start hearing rounds from the end of your barrels driving there way to my body and the chopper. Now keep in mind I have a large group of people I play on this server with, and we had found the chopper, so we were just trying to get it the hell out of there. Upon hearing me say "I see 2 guys shooting at me, one with an AS50 or M107 (very distinct sounds) and some sort of 556 caliber weapon, "Chris" decides he is going to come back in and help me. But I died. So as I was relaying to him your positions and he was logging back in the server goes down, due to an incident with an isolated hacker attack else where on the map. (did I mention I know the admin?) So with me dead he logs back in to make sure the helicopter is still there and prepares to defend it. As soon as he was fully logged back in he sees one of you, presumably the one that filmed this video, and begins to unload a barrage of 762 DMR rounds from a M14 and as he hits you he notices that you have combat logged. So as I log back in I go right to the player list that is brought up in game by pressing the "p" key and see that mike has just logged off as he is telling me you combat logged. So if your going to post the whole video, to inculde where you combat logged I would have most likely kept my mouth shut. However since you didn't and you decided to only post a video of the portion where you believe you and your friend were slighted you can understand that I most certainly could not. I am aware of the fact that nothing was proven here and what was said was pure speculation and for that I am not upset. What upsets me is that you neglected to also inform this thread that you had combat logged as "Chris" came back in to defend the chopper.There are 2 things are wrong about your impressions on this situation. One I am not hacker and have been working with the Admin of 1154 extensively to make sure this is a scripter free server, and two in no way, shape, or form where you and your friend an victim of a server shut down do to the admin or a friend of the admin losing a chopper. We play this mod as true as the DayZ mod team and scripters will allow. So please do not assume anything about this situation. If you have a problem in this server I was informed that the info to the private team speak server was given to you so that you may discuss this issue. If you would like a helicopter ride come in and we will oblige you and company. Thank you and good luck surviving.

Follow my stream they are coming out of the woodwork doing everything. http://www.twitch.tv/echo5rom3o

Was just on US 1557 and took a shot a guy when I did he took my weapons and turned me into a dog, then a zombie and killed me. His name is =Al Qaeda= Psycho Doctor on server US 1557. It happen about 2 mins ago and caught on my live stream http://www.justin.tv/echo5rom3o

Not complaining just informing.

While I must agree this selection page does look nice, I believe the whole point to the DayZ mod was to not be like other games. In the fact this isn't supposed to be a fast paced zombie shooter that looks amazing. It's a tatically paced shooter that looks decent and is fun for gamers that actually know what they are doing when it comes to playing video games. And yes having an interface would be nice but I think once that happens and the game gets all pretty it starts down a path that it never wanted to be on to begin with. I kinda like the rough around the edges feel of the game the way it is now. It discourages a lot twitch players from play a game like this. Which why I left the Battlefield series and now devote my game time to Arma and all it has to offer to include the DayZ Mod. But nice work man that looks really cool!

Lol Keep it coming look at that big word there "infantile" lol you must be the smartest person in the world. Yeah your right maybe doing it on empty spawn spots MIGHT be helpful. But that's not what we are talking about. If you can honestly tell me that you have not done that at the North West airfield numerous times until you have gotten an item you have wanted, then I will leave this thread alone. But I know you will never be able to answer that truthfully. Because truthfully you have, and whether or not you've done it to help new loot spawn like some Dayz Robin Hood or not. If you have even once done in on purpose in a personal gain for yourself like at the North West airfield or any other area,like a helicopter crash site in search of nods, then yes you have exploited. And dude knock it the fuck off with the "I'm smarter than everyone else" attitude it's very unbecoming of you.

So let's see if I have this right. You believe the act of taking advantage of a known bug is not an exploit because the risk is high? If that is what your saying, it is still taking advantage of a known bug with the end result you gaining gear that is favorable for you. Why not just server hop to find loot you want or again disconnect during a firefight or better yet just start scripting, yeah start scripting. And your right my grammar and paragraphs may not be up to par but unless your 14 and still think that shit matters or your just have no life and make sure your replies are the most correct they can be so that people don't think your restarted then yeah sure I guess it does. Oh and bro its just a game calm down wouldn't want you to have a heart attack cause someone on the internet doesn't agree with you and speaks out about it.

My definition is from Merriam-Webster, the lead book (if know what that is) when it comes to definitions. And sure I could Google the word exploit all day until I found a definition that suited my argument. Oh and sorry if I wasted your time. Obviously you waste your own time surfing the forums looking for someone to reply too, to make yourself feel better. I could care less what you think is legit and not legit. The fact of the matter is that "loot cycle" was not one of the talking points when the Dayz Dev team sat down to talk about this mod. So go ahead and continue to do whatever it is you believe is right, but I am telling you that is wrong. I don't care how much time you spend in one spot, how many zombies there are in that area, or whatever other excuse you have to tell yourself to make you believe its right, its wrong and its players like you that ruin gaming as a whole. I am sure you disconnect during firefights too, "cause if it wasn't allowed it wouldn't be in the game". And thank you for replying and letting me know I got you all riled up over a video game! Have a great day loot biking or cycling or whatever you call it. The fact that you've spent time in game or on the internet to figure that out tells me you have no time to waste. lol

My favorite line is "If the spawning of loot wasn't broken..." If that razor blade wasn't left of the table you wouldn't have cut yourself. If that gun would've been on safe I wouldn't have accidently shot that guy. That line itself incriminates yourself as an exploiter. Just because it is broken doesn't mean you have to poke it. As you said "Get over yourself". If something is broken and you use that to your advantage then it is an exploit. Definition of EXPLOIT 1: to make productive use of : utilize <exploiting your talents> <exploit your opponent's weakness> 2: to make use of meanly or unfairly for one's own advantage

For sure bro had a blast the other night man you know where to find us. Hope to survive with you real soon again!

This is a very proactive server. Not a large gaming community that just orders one and forgets that they have a responsibility to maintain and run it for other people. I am sick and tired of going to a server and having it either be ran by hackers or ran by a large gaming community that runs 50 thousand other game servers and gets around to one server once a month. So to finally have a server owner, for this mod, that actually has the know how to run and the care for a server and the players that play on it is a fucking relief.

Dr. Wily I urge you to check your pm's as I have posted there the info for the teamspeak that we use to play.

I will personally guarantee that there was no looting going on while this server was locked. It was locked so that the hackers, stated above, could not rotate their IP address and re-enter the server. The admin for this server is not just some dumb kid. He knows what he is doing and if it seemed like you were being shorted somehow you weren't. The admin just wanted to make sure that everyone who comes to this server, had their gear, camps, and whatever legal elements to the game were still here and not ruined by any outside scripting not approved by BI or Rocket. And I can also confirm the group that plays on this server 90% of the time does not have the chopper. We are just trying to survive like you all are. Any ways have fun, stay alive, and most importantly stay frosty. I have no problems being contacted about this server, but keep in mind I do not, own, operate, or admin this server. The owner, operator, and admin is just a close friend of mine. Thanks again.

I once killed 38 people and 4 bandits then died. Grabbed another Enfield, Coyote Backpack, filled with food, drink, and Enfield rounds and am currently killing in a Cherno near you. Stay frosty. http://img201.imageshack.us/img201/6357/spreeended.jpg

Sometimes I feel its really the best and only way to play. Giving no fucks as you run around shooting anyone or anything that gets in your way is the most fun.

2 things. One has this been actually confirmed other than the fact that everyone with L85s don't have them anymore? And two does this mean I will now have to try and find another primary weapon? I mean I get it its survival, but for the first time since I played this game I actually felt like I had a chance to survive ghillied snipers who just sit for hours on end at one town or the assholes who server hop from place to place looking for guys looting. You can say having thermal is over powered all you want. But I am pretty sure there is another forum for your complaints about weapons being over powered. http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf3/forum/threadview/2832654489415181502/ So what if it is over powered. Why can't a game have a realistically over powered weapon... Its not like it shoots heat seeking laser beams. Yeah so having a thermal may be a bit much, but from after playing other mods and modes of this game it is one of the most under powered rifle in its class. I have been playing this mod for a few months now and I've found your nvgs, your gps', all the goodies, but the other day was the first time I've ever seen a L85 so you got killed by it once or twice, let's remove all weapons because of that... I get there is a duping problem there is also a disconnect to avoid death problem, there is a spawning in the debug forest problem, there is a lose all your shit when you where alt clothing problem. Those are problems, let's not get all Battlefield 3 up in here about weapons. One of the main reasons I left the Battlefield series was I was sick and tired of hearing people bitch about weapons and camo and other dumb shit being over powered. That's what this complaint is. Dumb. Also let's not forget this is an alpha and the Dayz mod team supports this better than Dice does Battlefield, plus as I asked above has this even been confirmed? I don't know just my 2 cents.

Sorry I don't have much info, but found a couple of hackers at the NWA in server NY47 about 5 mins ago... I don't have evidence but saw 2 of them atleast in the middle of the airfield with a black armored suv and some sort of weird graphiced huey. Once I shot and killed the one the one in the Black SUV drove towards my buddy and I and he insta died... Sorry for the lack of info.

There is a simple fix for this it may piss a lot of bandits off that do take advantage of this exploit and they will give reasons like, "Oh I am a normal player and don't do that so this will screw me if I want to quick loot" or "Oh thats just going to ruin the game for people who have friends that can't join the server I am on". Simple matter is this really the only time you should disconnect is when you are done playing the game or its dark out and you would like to find another server that's light out. Disconnecting to "quick loot", avoid death, avoid zombie hordes or aggro is just simply an exploit. Rocket I am new to this community and so far this is just an amazing mod, but having people disconnect, connect to a new server, move around me and my crew, reconnect to our server after being shot by one of us, and moving behind us is a simple fix. There might be some sort of whining about it for a while but to fix an giant problem like this, it may be necessary. Add a 15 to 30 second delay to the disconnect sequence so that either disconnecting by clicking the abort button or, what most people would think to be a work around to this, alt+f4-ing out of the game the server would then at least hang on to that character via ip address or whatever identifier you use. Then people would have to wait up to a max of 30 seconds before being able to connect to another server, in that time frame their character would freeze being completely interactive to the rest of that server ie being able to be killed or looted. That way when people log on legitimately they have to think a little bit more about where they log out and if in a PvP battle the person who is playing correctly will have time to find and destroy the exploiting player. Not sure how difficult that would be to implement, but seems like a pretty simple idea. Yeah it will suck for a bit but at least PvP disconnecting will go down. Not sure if this is already trying to be implemented but heres a story. Happen to stumble upon 6 players in Stary (I am assuming it was a 3v3 PvP) considering I found 3 plays in a building grouped together and 3 players outside grouped together. Well all six disconnected from their battle. Me and my crew were able to loot their bodies make sure to at least put 2 round in each of their heads. If idea stated above were to be implemented those 6 players would then lose everything we took of them and well it wouldn't matter cause they would be dead. And when they came back in thinking they would spawn right were they left off, SURPRISE!, they have the "Would you like Male or Female" screen show up on the next server they tried to enter. I don't know food for thought. Good stuff so far just seems like that is really they only downside to an already great alpha version of a mod. Good luck!

Same thing happen to us... We took 2 actual days fixed a vic, then was driving. Server reset while we were driving it and when the server came back online we were spawned where we last filled the vic up with fuel and the vic was no where to be found. The very next day found the truck over by where we had fixed it up off in the woods a bit. Looked in it and it had been apparently found somewhere. All the stuff we had it plus WAY more! Drove it off and hide it again. Next day server restart again for the 1.7.1.5 patch and now our vic and bike are gone... Not sure what to do, guess it was kind of a waste to fix it up only to lose it to a server restart.
