metal (DayZ)

Maybe it needs to be done but don't expect to be praised by the majority of people for killing someone. You'd be a monster in their eyes. Of course I am speaking about RL now, not a game. In a game the higher your kill count the better.

I doubt killing people can be considered a humane act, even if they're bandits.

GBTP, I simply tried to give you a warning about what could happen. Tried to help you, just because I can. And you started to act like you're better then I am. Now you even implied that I need to ask your forgiveness because my English is not perfect. And as you said, you like to think you are good person. Well, I don't think you are. Such arrogance can not be good.

Your profile says you're from Portland, OR, I thought people generally speak English there, sorry if I mistaken. In what language would you prefer me to explain my point to you?What I was saying is that when you kill someone or even shoot at someone your humanity will drop. When it drops below -2000 your skin will change to a bandit skin without any warning. At this moment everything will twitch slightly, it is likely that you will lose your target, especially if you were looking down the sights of your rifle at the moment. Your weapon may switch to your sidearm, also you may lose your backpack. Next thing you know - the guy you were shooting at simply kills you while you are trying to reacquire your target. This is what may happen if you walk around in a survivor or a hero skin, or a bandit skin with your humanity slightly below -2000. This is why wearing your ghillie or camo, or getting your humanity very low will prevent those unpleasant events from happening. Another way is to get your humanity very high, but it is more difficult thing to do. I hope this time I explained it clear enough for you to understand.

As you said yourself, it is because of clothing change bug.I advise you always wear your ghillie/camo or get your humanity to superhumanly low values asap so you never get out of your bandit skin, otherwise skin change will emerge from the darkness and bite you in the ass when you expect it the least as it happened to me yesterday.

What subject says. It should look like this most of the time: not like this: Last time I checked it was called DayZ, not Silent Hill.

That means it will never be released.

You saying that I actually was a hacker and killed everyone on that server, then made up this story to tell on the forums? Well, if I am a hacker then your bullet wouldn't hurt me and if I am not you will coldbloodedly murder an innocent man!

Maybe he wasn't even a hacker. Here is what happened to me few weeks ago. I was closing on 30 days of playing without dying so I had pretty much everything (Ghillie, Coyote backpack, AS50, L85, M4 SD, NVG, Rangefinder, GPS and so on). I was on my way near Solnechny quarry when I heard footsteps behind my back, I started to turn around but heard shots and was killed in place. I respawned and few seconds later everyone on the server was killed (I had nothing to do with it). Now imagine what that guy who killed me must have thought. He kills a guy with every useful item in game and seconds later everyone killed. I am pretty sure he thought I was a hacker, although I wasn't.

Characters in the Survivor skin may appear in different colors to different people at the same time. You may see yourself wearing black clothes but someone standing next to you might see you for example in jeans and white shirt. So there is really no point in switching between different sets of civilian clothing with a purpose of altering your appearance.

It always happens when you change clothes. If you relogin your stats should be back, plus whatever you gained while they were reset. If your humanity is near 0 and you want a hero skin then you can exploit this to get it without spending anything except time. Just wait till your humanity gets to 2500, change clothes, wait till it gets to 2500 again, relogin, now you should have a hero skin. Also because of the same bug your humanity is slowly increasing without a limit if you wearing a hero skin and relogging once it gets to 2500.

You could as well say that if every server auto-banned everyone who tries to log in then you would not see any cheaters at all.

In my opinion it should be not bannable to have in your possession or to use anything that you have legitimately obtained, no matter if it 'should' or 'should not' be in game.

There is not going to be any trouble for an admin, they can ban whoever they want for any reason and without any reason at all, regardless of any 'rules'. Things like that should not be forbidden, they should be impossible to do. If the game allows it then it should not be punishable. Devs should reattach their hands from their asses back to their shoulders and fix the damn game. Or just ban everyone, because I really doubt that there are someone who still haven't used an item that was spawned by hackers or duped.

No need to remove, just add. As much as I would love to get my hands on Mi-24 I realize this is not going to happen, but Mi-8 would be very nice to have. It has two side machineguns just like Huey, it is heavier and less maneuverable but faster than Huey.

Few days ago I have been banned for no apparent reason from many servers, I assume they share a ban list. So now, based on my experience from these few days I've been trying to get myself unbanned I can tell you this. Once you're banned they no longer view you as a human being*, you're just a cheater to them now and don't deserve their attention. Nobody will ever believe that you have been banned for nothing, even those who will voice their support for you will still think that you are guilty or at least have doubts. So I guess best thing to do for you would be just to either move on or set your life's goal to destroy that server and ruin admin's life (j/k). *They probably never have, because many admins are superhumanly arrogant.

Here is a map that I generated using the same algorithm the game uses for seeding heli crashes, except I used 50000 locations instead of just 5 (I didn't wait for it to finish generating completely, was taking a bit too long so there are actually less then 50000 dots, just in case anyone wants to count them). Many dots in one area mean that your chances to find a heli crash there is relatively high. Just a few dots in an area mean that you probably will never see a heli crash there, unless you visit it 50000 times. http://i.imgur.com/jwDhM.jpg EDIT: image hosting services keep resizing it so if you want larger map then here is the link: http://nekaka.com/d/FpDTzHky_2

I was banned yesterday on RU 17, later I found out that I am actually banned on many more RU servers including RU 13. RU 16, RU 11, RU 20, RU 7, RU 18, maybe there are more. What happened: I spawned freshly near Kamenka and went straight for the north, along the way I found a tent from which I took few items (pretty much everything one could need but no "hacked in" items). I continued going on my way up north and eventually my character started to feel thirsty so I stopped and used a soda can (Cola). I am not sure if what happened next was somehow related to that cola can, probably it was just a coincidence. The moment my character drank it he was transported to some location where there were no ground, just the sky and a message box popped up telling me that I was kicked because of "BattlEye: CreateVehicle Restriction #3". At this point I immediately took a screenshot, here is it: It is in Russian but I am sure that it is pretty clear what is displayed there. The text in the message box says "You were kicked" and the white message below says "You consumed a soda can (Cola)". After this incident I logged back in and went along my way. About five minutes passed and another message box popped up stating that I was banned (BattlEye: Admin Ban). No explanation of any sort was given. After this I could no longer log in to RU 17 and multiple other RU servers, getting this Admin Ban message every time I tried. At this point I created this thread in Russian section of this forum, later it was locked and a moderator advised me to post in this thread which I did explaining the situation pretty much as I did here, but no reaction of any sort has followed. I have never used any cheats or hacks in this game (nor in any other game that I can remember of) and I certainly was not trying to create any vehicles, I just followed my path north, I have traveled hundreds of kilometers on foot in this game and surely don't mind walking mere 5-8 kilometers more, so even if I thought that it was ok to cheat (which I didn't), there were really no point for me to create any vehicles. As I see it now I was banned for nothing just because an admin felt like banning someone and they didn't give any explanation of why they banned me. Sorry for the long post, I am just trying to describe what happened, just in case there could be some important details that could prove my innocence.

At least two other guys said they were banned on the same server around the same time I was and they were not using any cheats as well, according to their words.

Funny thing, just shortly after posting in this thread I found this gun in a tent along with some ammo. Didn't take it though, maybe later.

It is in BAF. Classname is BAF_LRR_scoped.

The question was answered, now it is time for flood. Are you new to the interwebs? J/k :)

Also, czech backpack blocks your vision when you look back over your shoulder in the 1st person view :)

Seems like everyone is happy with it, seeing how it is never gets fixed. I personally have reached the point in this game where I don't care much about my gear but I still find it convenient to just go into the forest and grab whatever I might need. If it gets fixed or not - I don't really care.

There is your answer :). Happened just yesterday. Sorry about the quality, it is youtube's fault, I uploaded it in good quality.
