Niemand (DayZ)

Heyo. Today (12.September.2012) at around 20pm (GMT) a hacker named "Gooby" appeared on the server "DayZLingor - (0.34/96061) (Veteran|3D:ON|CH:OFF) - LU40 | Vilayer.com". He first spawned himself a UAZ. A player named (DzSh) BlackMike was in ts3 with us and found that car and shot at Gooby, hit two times with a CZ550 (that does 8k dmg... means: Godmode?). After that he managed to jump into the car as a driver. It was completely repaired and fully fueled. (Highly possible that it was spawned). Gooby sat in the car with him and Mike asked him if he had a map and Gooby did leave the car to check that (or whatever) Mike drove away with it for around 3 minutes and suddenly he died, because Gooby stood right next to him and killed him. I guess he teleported. After that Mike wanted to make peace with him and Gooby came to get him with the car... Gooby suddenly standing right before Mike - with the car. Again a teleport? After that they drove around for a bit (around 5 minutes) and Gooby drove the car into the water. He simply swam back to the river, while we (two clanmates and me) were on a completely different part of the map, checking out a hotel/appartement-building. Suddenly we heard a car and as I looked down from the roof I saw a SUV (which isnt findable inGame) driving next to us. He told us to get in in local chat. I told him in globalchat to bugger off because I didnt want to play with a cheater. I made a warning-shot. he didnt react to it. i told him again and made another warning-shot. he told me to stop shooting. Suddenly after that me (in the middle of the lowest story of the building), CotgS_F@KeR (next to the entry) and CotgS_CaveSquirrel (on the roof) died simultaniously. There were no shots fired at us or anything. We just died. I respawned and suddenly died again. So I guess he nuked us or whatever cheat there is to kill us all. - Dunno if anybody else died from this. Even while this is DayZLingor I hope you can do anything. Sadly my screenshots did shoot my desktop and not the game. I hope the server-admins are able to provide some logs.

They did ban him later. But I can do more than only contact the Server-Admins of this Server. With this Thread other Admins maybe know about him and are able to have an eye on that kid. ;)

Thanks. sorry for the trouble. Title Modified.

srsly. if i think some asshole hacks on my server (regarding EVERY game i host) - i dont wait for devs to ban him. i ban him myself first. If I was wrong and he wasnt hacking... well... sorry, but go and look for another server where the admin likes your kind. There is no point in having you playing on my server as long as I think you dont play fair, since I would always look for a reason to ban you. Also who would want to play on a server where he isnt treated fair by the admin? So you guys stop whining. Just move on and hack on another server.

Bei Menschen wie dir, lieber kani, sollte man ernsthaft über nachträgliche Abtreibung nachdenken. Srsly. Zu dumm um zu wissen was "cracken" bedeutet? Keinerlei Englisch-Kenntnisse? Du solltest dich gaaaanz schnell aus dem Interwebz verpissen. Gibt genug dumme Kiddies hier, die meinen sie wären die coolsten, während sie nicht fähig sind sich zu artikulieren. Und durch dich stieg die Zahl um 1. To translate what I said, for those racists that are too stupid to tolerate other languages than their own: "It should really be considered to introduce subsequent/post-birth abortion for people like you, dear kani. You are too dumb to know what it means "to crack a game"? you got no english-knowledge? You should leave the Interwebz ASAP. There are enough dumb Kids here that think they are the coolest, while they're not able to articulate themselves. And with you the count got raised by 1." Solbless! --Niemand

Maybe I will give DE 969 a try. does not sound so bad at all there. ;)

Since I am one of those settler-types that want to survive and settle down somewhere, I gotta provide this idea, even if it will not get good feedback. The striked parts are obsolete. Please read the new, coloured parts. Sources: Blue refers to requests/suggestions in this thread, usually are linked to the post. Green is inspired by the idea to use a generator for making Zeds unable to spawn in an area, see Post#82 in the Liberation-Thread. Crimson are new additions from my own brain. The Idea is to clean a town from Zeds. Somewhere hidden in the town is a spot/switch that makes the Zeds unable to spawn for 12* hours. Before being able to flip that switch to green (what means "save") you need to clean the city out. This will need a reduced Zed-spawnrate. (Since when you are in a village with 4 people the ones you killed first respawn the instant you kill the second ones). How it could work: Players come into a village. they need to find the lever/switch for the village (it is randomly placed somewhere, a bit hidden). They go to the switch and set it to "try cleaning". Now the Spawnrate for Zeds is reduced to 50* percent. When all Zeds in the village are dead the Lever turns green. In every village (towns, airfields, random huts/sheds/barns and cities are not cleanable! | Post #7 ) is a generator. - Usually it is a bit hidden. If a group of players wants to clean a village they need to fill it completely (it takes 100* liters?) and then start it. It will make an unsteady, stuttering and loud noise. This will attract the Zeds in an area of 500* meters. The Zeds will try to attack it (or the players next to it) and destroy it (if they succeed it needs to be repaired with engine-parts, fuel-tank-parts and so on...). Players need to defend the generator until it runs steady (and more quiet). As soon as it runs steady no new zeds will spawn in the village, but some will spawn around it. If there are enough players in the village it could happen (only by a small chance) that there spawns a horde on one border of the village. The Generator The generator runs a few (maybe 6 to 12?) hours with those 100* liters. It will start running unsteady again in the last 10%* of tankfilling (but not as loud as before) to indicate that it is empty. As soon as the generator is out of gas the area slowly becomes swarmed again. Players can fill it up again, same as they can with vehicles.Maybe the generator will start to "die" with the time. so you can walk to it and check if the engine and the fueltank are still alright. Players would need to go out and find new parts and repair it. Lootspawns in cleaned areas Now, most of you will say "That will result in lootcamping!". But! The Lootspawns will be like the Zed-Spawns. They will not be removed but the spawnrate will be down to 10* percent and the value will also drop one or two levels. Zedspawns in cleaned areas Since it would be too easy to have the area cleaned once and no Zeds appear anymore, there will spawn some from time to time. but maybe only one or two. (RolePlay-Reason: It came from the woods). Keeping the area cleanSee "The Generator" above. There are two ideas in my head. The easy one: The Switch needs to be flipped every 6* hours. To add more action: it will appear on a different spot every 4* hours. This way players need to find it. The more complicated, but realistic one: Zeds will spawn once in a while (like i wrote above at "Zedspawns in cleaned areas") and as soon as there are 10* Zeds in that village it will become unclean again. The Serverhopping-Problem Now, I await people to say "But but but the serverhoppers!?" I read a good suggestion (cant find the link, sorry) where somebody suggested that people, if they logout in a house and login on another server (this three words are added by me here will be ported 500meters away to the woods. This could be used here, too. All in all * You will have a little village where you can live in peace for a while - players will be able to settle down, like they (at least some of them) want to. * Bandits can raid those villages. * Other groups can take over those villages * Defensive Buildings (like tanktraps, that fence, sandbags beartraps and so on) will become more needful. * Players can find other players easily and there can be an inGame-Community established. - Means: Roleplay-elements. * Good loot-items can maybe become more rare, because the value of the spawns gets leveled down. * Increasing action with the roaming Horde-suggestion by I_Guts_I Addons/Ideas for later features ◊ "Clear Debris" You can clear the trash that blocks the road. You will need to use the scrollwheel and a shovel-tool (the one you use to fill sandbags with). It will need 5* minutes of animation to clear it. Inside you can find a bit of loot. Maybe scrap-metal or ammo from a car-wreck, a tank-trap-kit, some sandbags or clothes in a trashpile with a washing-machine. (All the loot is just an example). ◊ Setting up some defense. As an example: with your axe and five piles of wood you can build one meters of a small palisade-wall. It blocks Zeds (vision, passing), bullets and of course players and their vision. (Heavy?) Cars can still crush them, same as they do with fences, bushes and walls. Since it is already possible to build sandsackwalls, fencelines and tanktraps that would become a nice feature. ◊ Building Deerstands. For 10* Wood, players can use their Axe to Build Deerstands as Watchtowers. The Idea comes from here: Tent city and protection ideas. ◊ Building a Well. If the village does not already have one or a pond, people may want to build a well. This can happen with the shovel (sandbackfilling-tool). With this and some hunting people can survive. There can also be more ideas like that. I will quote them, if you write them here. But please write them understandable. ;) *suggestion-digits. the actual amount lies in the hand of the devs. Edit 30.07.2012: Updated the Links.

Thats one possibility. the next is that there will surely be clans (like mine) that clean that village and let other peoples join.And you gotta think about it. If there is a save town bandits are able to have fun with it. From the next hill with a sniper, maybe. Aye mate.Of course there is always the possibility for Zeds to get the town back. The Generator running out of gas. Players not logging in for too long (or leaving town after a bandit-attack). And Zed-Hordes Swarming the place. I think the street-lights could be turned on when the generator runs. Also the generator is not very silent, so it can be heard from a nice distance. And players maybe build search lights... who knows. ;) That is something that maybe will come with it. I guess that will even be the step before the cleanable villages. ;) "periodic events" kinda makes it sound like a MMO... "Every thursday at 18PM GMT the town will be raided by zeds! be there to get lots of beans!" so it should be occasionally. Maybe when there are 6 players in the town there is a 5* Percent possibility to get Zeds spawning in the woods, heading towards the houses.Also Zeds could spawn in the woods and wander in the direction of the village. Then players could start campfires around the village to guide the Zeds around or gather them to kill them. Or at least to see them. :D

Yah. It would at least provide something people can aim for. Right now it is always the same thing: - Spawn - Scavange a bit => get equipment and food - Find a car => repair it - Raid the airfield for better weapons. - Start killing players (not necessarily) - Get eaten or shot - Start from the beginning... Thats why I am taking a break from the mod for a while, playing "normal" ArmA2 (and some of those other great mods) and wait until the game brings me something I can play for. Because I am not interested in killing players or better weapons (My M16 is enough for me so far). Same is it the reason for me to submit my "Level 2" Suggestion. :D

Didnt read your reply until now - but thanks Jean. ;)

How can you await from us to be online and defend our camp 24 hours a day? I, and I bet lots of other people have not the time for that. People have to work or go to school/university. We cant sit in front of our PC 24/7. 24 hours - 8 hours sleep = 16 hours - 10 hours work = 6 hours - 1 hour eating/bathroom-times = 5 hours. and in those 5 hours people do not always want to play DayZ. once in a while you need to play something else or just watch a movie. Or you gotta wash the dishes or clothes or whatever. Mommy and Daddy will not be around forever, you gotta do your shit yourself one time. This is a game. If this were real life - what its not - there would not be a problem in defending the camp 24/7. But this way? Its not. I would love to hide my camp, too. But as stated already: the map is too small. I already put only cheap stuff in the tents and expect it to be found within 24h. And still they were found (a body was next to them) and empty. But I think it was the bug that made our tents empty. because no one would be stupid enough to take civilian clothing out of the tent. :D TL;DR: Defending camps is not possible when you are not jobless in Real Life.

+1 Spawning with a weapon would result in killing-each-other-right-after-spawning.

Yupp. All of us are complaining at least once a day that this isnt working. :(

setzen, sechs. Irgendwie hab ich das gefühl, dass du noch nicht alt genug für das spiel bist. Cracked Versionen funktionieren nicht. (Und wenn doch gibts dafür keinen Support! :O) Der Sixupdater ist - meiner heiligen Meinung nach - totaler Bullshit. Mach ne manuelle Installation, so schwer ist die nicht. Kostet mich für gewöhnlich 5 Minuten via teamviewer. +Download-Zeit versteht sich. Benutz die Anleitung: http://dayzwiki.com/wiki/index.php?title=How_to_install_DayZ und nicht irgendwelche Youtube-vids von Klickgeilen Zahnspangenkids, die dir Mist erzählen. Die Anleitung ist zwar auf englisch aber selbst unsere Englisch-Unfähigen im Clan haben das hingekriegt. Und so arrogant ich auch mal wieder klinge: Achte in Zukunft mehr auf deine Rechtschreibung. Als Grammar-Nazi geht mir da der Gashahn auf. -.-

I am not copying an author. I just choose a german word as my nickname. At least I havent got stupid numbahz in my nickname. ;P You want this because a survivor in a zedokalyps has the urge to build something save. Something where he can savely raise his children. I am not a family-type myself, but I like to achieve something. I need a bigger goal then surviving from day to day. We got a group of 7 to 8 people. Two of us came through a city today morning. no players there, so we got ourselves some stuff from the Hospital-roof and are moving to our "home" (in fact its a few tries near a field). We have all we need there. Animals spawning on the field. A pond around 500m away. A small town with a supermarket max 1km away. Only thing I would like to have is a car, especially a bus. We had one once, but it died. We know three car-spawns and are checking them every day multiple times. No cars there. If we had one we could do some bigger raids, but no chance. So what should we do now? I would like to build a little fortress there, maybe a camp... but there is nothing much to build except a few sandbagwalls (without windows. :( ) and a natowire-gardenfence. And without some gardendwarves it just looks ugly. :( I would clean out a village to settle there. Even if no loot would spawn there at all. I would open a taxi-corporation if I had a car. :D

their vision is alright. I speedcrawled 5 meters in front of one. I guess it was fucking close, but he didnt see me. But another one saw us when we were INSIDE one of the higher houses with the flats inside and ran into it. we had to shoot it, attracting four more zeds. Was lucky so far. But! I usually stay in the forest and check out the area, helping my guys get in and out. Usually they just ran into the barn, shot all Zeds, looted it and were out... thats not working anymore, since Zeds endlessly respawn 10m next to you and are superfast. It is really alright that you have to be careful. Its okay to have a problem when they see you. But its not okay to run out of ammo everytime you get seen.

Thats what you get for not-sharing the loot! :O

I thought cars despawn when they are offmap? and respawn after min. 7 days on their usual spawnpoint? Edit: or is that the feature of the next patch (1.7.2)?

Nope, I wont stop that. Dunno why I started it. But this way people can see the difference between similiar threads. If you think it is attentionwhoring its alright with me, can't do anything against my desires to be important. :D You still dont rate the title, you rate the idea. people that are not able to do that do not really count, since they cant open their eyes wide enough or think far enough. I dont try to sell my idea here, I just want to get it out. If somebody has some ideas what I could add he/she/it is free to tell me. But if no one likes it... who cares? At least I got it out. :D And all in all: Pfff! Youre just jealous that I got myself such a cool nickname! :P Bekk 2 tha tuppikz meow!

Yoh. First of all, I will not make you signature banners. This is just a suggestion. I am also sure devs may be planning this already. I also used the search but didnt find something except three threads about "hey, add a line to separate post from signature!". So sorry, if I did not see it. The idea is to make people be able to have their stats on images that they can show off in forums. It shows their time alive, their Zed-kills and their player-kills. The graphics are automatically made and renewed by the database every 2* hours. [Edit:] People maybe could also choose their backgrounds. If you want samples for that, tell me, I can easily provide some. As an example-graphic: My Sources: DayZ-Logo/Banner on top of the website Background-Image from the slidegallery on the website Fonts: "Floydian" and "Gautami" Program: Photoshop CS5.1 Feel free to rate this suggestion and discuss it. ;) stay alive! --Niemand *example-time. It's, as usual, up to the devs to find the right digit. Edit 30.07.2012 - Updated the Logo-Source-URL.

Yah Dreganius. I just tried to find some font that kinda fits to the game. Maybe its not easy to read but that doesnt matter. Its just a sample of how it could look. So: No worries, no offense taken at all. ;)

But still you would have the "DayZ alive" and the "killed Zeds" lines. Maybe for anti-pvpers you could add a line "eaten beans" instead of "killed Players".

Alright. Updated it big time. Hope the idea is "more tweaked"/"more realistic" now. Does this doublepost that gets added to my post before count as some kind of "bump", too?For the forum it does. Did really become a doublepost. :( Any more things to solve? more suggestions? My ears open to every voice that says something helpful. (Constructive Critique is really appreciated ;) ). ----Post Edited!----

Plus One! For faster switch to meelee-weapon.
