Longs

We keep finding FN-FALs but next to no ammo for them,

I think Rocket should come on my server and get killed by the script kiddie a few times that way he might change his perspective on not allowing admins to ban people themselves.

I wouldn't worry too much, it's happened to me. Someone spawned some sort of AK on everyone once when I first started playing the game, it kinda overlapped and bugged out my Lee Enfield. I ended up with a full auto Lee Enfield with 30 round mag.

You sir are fortunate, we have one that keeps coming on our server and teleports round killing people.

Our server had to be taken down because someone killed every player on the server on some crazy mass auto slay. We think it was a player by the name of Jamie, He shot at us near Stary Sobor and was killed. While we looted his body he reappeared with the exact same gear right next to his body and shot one of our group before we shot him again. At that point we were wondering what the hell was going on. He spawned again for a third time and we killed him again, after that everyone on the server was killed. Perhaps in some childish act of rage on his part. I would like to apologise to everyone on the server at the time for what's happened. It's annoying that something like this has happened, we've had our server up for a month and we've started to see a regular crowd which is great then this happens which sucks. We've submitted a ticket to Multiplay.co.uk the server provider and we are going to pull the logs so we can try to find out as much info on this guy as we can and exactly what it was he did.

N/A double post

For me it's matches cos they are so hard to find sometimes.

Well that's never happened to me or anyone else I know on the server and I've died so many times I've lost count. From what we've managed to pull from the log that Multiplay will let us see is that whenever Jamie logs on he doesn't authenticate with Battleye like everyone else does when they join the server. He's also logged in as Admin, I don't know how or why that is but we've asked Multiplay to look into it for us. Aside from that there's nothing we can do, we can't ban him even if we wanted to because Multiplay won't allow access to the files which I assume is to stop people violating the terms of service and banning people however they see fit. At the moment all we can do is just kick him if he comes on but he's probably changed his name now so we'll just have to keep an eye out for his player ID. He was killed 3 times in the same place each time spawning in with the best possible gear and a 4th time quite a distance away when he teleported in behind the last member of our group who had legged it (when we finally twigged what was going on). Again Jamie was shot and killed, moments later the entire server was killed. Every time we shot this person it said Jamie was killed, there's no question that at the time the script kiddie was using that name. We have his player ID and IP now anyway since he's likely changed his name. He joined the server the following day as well and was spawning weapons, I know this because the only other person on the server was a friend and he asked me on mumble why he suddenly had a gun, bigger backpack, loads of ammo etc

DayZ dev team should give this guy a temp ban at least.

I couldn't agree more, it saddens me that because of one person we have lost a group of players like yourself. Me and a friend bought this server so we can play with our friends and to have organised groups get set up which we can compete against. The really annoying thing for me tho is that we are unable to ban this child because Rocket says we can't as it's against his terms of service, fine I understand Rockets reasons for this but he really needs to consider the position of server admins a bit more or do something about the these kids coming on and running their scripts. The script kiddie keeps coming back but all we can do is repeatedly kick him, Multiplay the server operator won't allow access to any files that could violate the terms of service for DayZ so we can't put his player ID on the ban list. All we can see is the log which just shows people logging in/leaving and authenticating with Battleye, in the case of Jamie he doesn't authenticate with Battleye, he's bypassing it somehow; that's all we can see from the basic log file along with his player ID and IP.

Except Admins have the power to do jack shit, we can't even ban a known hacker from our own server because it's against the terms of service for running a server. All we can do is kick him repeatedly or shut down the server. The server host won't release the files we need to prove he's a hacker because they are worried people will abuse the terms of service. So we're pretty much fucked.

You must have a shit onboard sound card on the motherboard that can tide you over until your soundboard arrives.

Here's a question then, let's say a server admin kicks someone for a ping of over 600ms. The disgruntled player comes on the forums, cries Admin abuse and bad mouths the server. What would the server admin have to post on here to show the reason for the kick was genuine? Would simple screen shots suffice? Or would server logs be required?

It's a legitimate reason and admins will do it anyway regardless so unless the DayZ team are gonna troll servers to make sure there are no ping restrictions (I think they might have better things to do) it's unlikely to be enforced.

Get back under your bridge.

DayZ team won't do squat without server logs showing the scripts being used. Even then I'd bet they are far too busy to act on it.

I thought the whole point of Alpha and Beta stages was to find bugs, glitches and compatibility issues so they can be fixed. So when someone points out a glitch and then some brain dead troll yells "ITS AN ALPHA" it's kinda defeating the point. Pointing out flaws like glitches is the entire point of an Alpha now back under your bridge trolls.

The whole attitude about not being able to ban people on your own server for hacking needs to be changed. Admins need to be able to ban these script kiddies without fear of their server being blacklisted.

Seriously the whole "It's an Alpha" thing that you trolls feel you have to point out the moment someone points out a flaw in the mod you worship is getting really really old.

I think I might take a break from the game for a few days, the above post echo's quite well how I feel atm. We had a regular crowd on our server, people that had set up camps and were using vehicles etc. It was giving me and my friends a real sense of adventure having other organised players to play against. I'd been killed a few times but was always keen to do the start over loot some gear thing then head north to meet up with my friends to get back in the action. This one hacker may have ruined that and scared off the players that were coming on the server every day.

I would like to add someone in our group got a look at the gear he had and he literally had all the best stuff. Range finder, Ghillie Suit, Coyote backpack, NVG, GPS, all the tools.

I'll team up with my real life friends thanks, everyone else can go to hell.

Just put a timer so that it takes 30-60 seconds to exit the game. If someone presses Alt-F4, ends ARMA 2 in the task manager or PC/Internet takes a dump make it so that while they have exited the game their actual character is still static in the game and killable for up too a minute. If something like this is possible it will encourage people to try and log off somewhere safe and make quitting by lame methods pointless.

It happens, probably not a lot that can be done about it. my buddy spawned up in the sky and went splat rofl. He was most upset, he'd been alive for over 20 days and had some epic gear. We can't even locate his body as we have no idea where he pancaked lol.

Next to a tent with just an epi-pen in it.
