I think the idea of a no spawn area is excellent. And thank goodness you got banned, what a nasty and unwanted person.

Relax, ArmA 3 won't hit the shelves at least until Q2 2013, then the DayZ mod, presumably to be released as a DLC for the game, will not be developed until quite a while after the initial release for several reasons. These include - new engine features that they would want to take advantage of, development cycle and human resources, release cycle for staggering and maintaining interest. This will be going for a while.

I perhaps should have been more specific. By 'regular server' I meant a non-DayZ server. i.e. a realism server with weapon mods. Not a 'regular mode' aka easy-mode server. DayZ servers, as far as I know, do not allow weapon mods.

Let's hope it is forced off on all servers. A decent pilot/driver/soldier needs no third person. Situational awareness excuses are more tiresome than wedding speeches. Let's raise the skill standards on this game. If you don't understand forced first person then you don't understand immersion, atmosphere, or this game series full stop.

I haven't failed to realise it, hence the suggestion to change brightness, which can be done outside of the game. The lunar cycle is fully simulated by the engine, so it isn't smart to go night raiding when there is a new moon and a cloudy sky.

Update - Battleye tech support are looking into his case as they have detected something unusual, they can see he didn't hack, he doesn't even know how to go about doing such things. This issue may well have affected other players. The general responses on this thread make it clear that there is a massive divide between the moralities and mentalities of the DayZ, and ArmA proper communities. As for the mindless comments on the internet inherently lacking honour, or that honour is 'bullshit', speak for yourselves, it reflects very poorly on you and I will have nothing to do with such mentalities. Callaghan signing out.

I'm a language graduate, I used those words advisedly, but thanks for the well worded insight. I like DayZ, why would I attack it? Rather than pointing and grunting incoherently why not consider the possibility that the process may be flawed? Again, I am representing someone else.

Hmph' date=' imagine that. Exactly the kind of vapid, elitist attitude that might make one think it's okay to cheat in DayZ since it's just a bunch of "kiddies." Wonder if this sort of thinking runs in your group? Hmm. Curious indeed. Yes. A groundswell of interested players and a ton of extra revenue the developer can invest in new and existing products. Such a disaster. Oh, woe be you and your ethos. I've been an ARMA player long term too, bud. You sound like a complete douche and I don't think you represent anything but your own personal interests so you can stop acting like you speak for "the community." You clearly don't understand the concept of honour then. The entire point of having standards is maintaining them in face of the majority lowering theirs. I really don't mind being called elitist. I am glad to be considered separate from the attitudes prevalent on the DayZ mod in any way possible. I know that many of the PRODUCTIVE and long serving members feel exactly the same way as myself. I'm completely fine with mods, and new player influxes, but any idiot who has been around a while can see the potential danger in mishandling the attitudes of these new players and punishing those who have done nothing wrong.

There is a difference to loading a hacked .pbo file into a server' date=' and using an object that someone else has loaded in with their pbo. The global ban system has presumably changed over time. He was on the first list of about ten people, which is particularly surprising. [hr'] Because it looks different to an empty slot, try joining a regular server that uses weapon mods and see for yourself. Any curious player would double click on it. I can only represent him so far, as I do not know every detail of what happened. For all I know he may have been wrongfully banned for something altogether separate. Either way, we are all as surprised as he is.

Again, waiting for a reply from someone who knows what they are talking about. If you knew anything about arma you would know that the vehicle isn't assigned to the player in the same way as gear. So your 'argument' is a complete non-sequitur.

Maybe not from one of you DayZ kiddies sure. But we are community veterans. There is a marked difference. At the very least, I expect a DayZ team member to hear him out, there was clearly a flaw in the first setup that detected hackers.

You clearly didn't understand a word of my post. I am representing a member of my team. We pride ourselves on upholding the highest standards of teamplay and honour even in a virtual environment, and there is simply no way one of our members would have used a hack. Waiting for someone who knows what they are talking about to reply. As for the previous reply - if you play ArmA proper, with mods etc, you will know that people can join servers with hacked pbo's and use equipment that isn't on the server. It will appear as invisible to everyone else, but you can still pick it up and use it. Such as with RH weapons on the server that you don't have in a mod folder.

Let's see now, been playing this series for around 10 years, with many people with different levels of experience. Never once whined about not being able to see at night. Deal with it kiddies. Adjust your brightness. find NVGs, or realise that at night without a good moon or a clear sky you WILL NOT BE ABLE TO SEE. There's a danger of these wimps ruining the game, and it isn't a positive movement at all.
