You payed for a HUGE game that has its own single player game and multiplayer access. If you bought it to play a mod then that's your own problem when the mod doesn't meet your expectations. Rocket and BIS don't owe you anything

That sucks, but how is this a DayZ forum problem? bring it up with paypal and get a chargeback

The day this game gets safe zones and bandit skins and resuscitation is the day i stop playing. I have had enough of the standard mmo, I want one that bends me over and tells me I've been a very bad boy.

Except "hackers" are the extreme fringe minority. The numbers show people are still flocking to the game, not running away from a supposed invasion of hackers. For every 50 claims of hackers I would bet 40 would be user inexperience, 9 would be legitimate bugs, and 1 would be a malicious hacker. But with as many new players as we have joining, they find a bug or die to inexperience then go on the forums and cry hacker because they assume the game is mostly balanced and bug free.

No one has payed for dayz.

I gave you beans because i appreciate the sentiment, but no sense posting this in the suggestion thread because its just as pointless as the threads whining about "fixing" banditry.

I can see how the forum topics would read after this was implemented: "OMG Turn off nooby target skins!" "Why cant bandits have skins? noobies do!" "Can we have a skin for intermediate survivors?" "Where is my 45 day survival skin?!?!?!"

The more likely thing is that you encountered a bug and thats what killed you. There is also the very unlikely chance that a hacker killed you, but im pretty sure they can only nuke the server and thus you would see everyone pop up as killed. that too

Eh. This is something i believe should happen, but not something we need to worry about in the alpha. These kinds of balancing changes are best left for beta, right now we need to focus on adding and testing new features rather than spending time adjusting the balance of old ones.

Anecdotal evidence used as the base for a pseudo-analytical look at a perceived problem? Seems legit. EDIT: That's exactly what rocket wants in this game. He doesn't want a pve game. He wants everyone who isnt part of your group to be considered part of the giant FFA pvp game. If you choose to try and be diplomatic then you have a chance of making your group stronger, but there should never be any guarantees. The one thing I do agree with is that there is little reason to ever want to team up because survival is just too easy. For the solution to that there is another great thread that I think everyone should read before they make yet another "FIX BANDITS PVP" thread. http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/20112-the-only-realistic-way-to-prevent-deathmatching-make-dayz-a-living-hell/

Let me get this straight, you signed up for a server, you haven't received an acceptance response, so therefore no new servers are being accepted?

I would say desync, its happened to me before. Ive shot a person who ran up to loot something, they stay crouched i go try to loot them and they are still alive, then i back up to watch them and they run around really fast and i get shot and killed.

Can we also right click on their portrait and summon them to our dungeon? I also would like to be able to cast my bandage spell by hovering over their portrait and clicking my mouseover heal macro. This is such a great idea.

I would like to see the leader-board back if they excluded survivor/bandit kills and included things you have done in one life like: Distance traveled on foot Distance traveled in a vehicle Distance swam Zombies killed with a melee weapon Zombies killed with a vehicle Zombies killed with thrown cans and bottles Towns visited Players bandaged random stuff that isn't a kdr board is alot more fun and will encourage more diverse gameplay.

If you get this worked up when you see what are probably frivolous claims while hosting an open server then you would probably do well to keep your server offline. Its part of the job description when you host a server, people will get mad and blame you for nothing. Getting upset about it every time it happens means you probably aren't cut out for being a host. If they don't post screenshots or videos, then most of the people here just assume the claims aren't true and click our back button, as you should too.

(WARNING: In character as an african-american man because that's what my dude is in DayZ and it adds some zest to the situation) So here I was, minding my own business trying to record some more for my series "Chibigoat's Adventures In Elektro" when I hear some crazy honking. I obviously immediately know there is a car so I search for it because the honking was close. I thought I had lost him but just then I heard the honking again and that was enough for me to figure out where he was... Or should I say, they. Straight out of compton, they are rolling in their UAZ like it's time to bust some major caps in some fools. They are parked outside the firehouse near the red doors, the firehouse more toward the west side of town, not the northern firehouse. As I ran up on them as if they were in my part of the ghetto I saw two guys trying to get in, one had successfully got in and I was about to bust some major caps into the fool that wasn't in yet but he teleported in the second I took aim. With that I decided to run up onto the driver's side before they took off and bust some caps right where it'll hurt. I made my way completely in front of the vehicle with my makarov pulled aiming right at the driver. (By the way, all I had was an empty AKM and a makarov with something like 3 mags). I blasted hard and fast like my dad taught me back in the ghetto in the 90's. They were freaking out and it was like he didn't know how to drive, strangely enough though (and this is where the one fatality comes in) it wasn't the driver I capped, it was the guy behind him. Admit it, you would have done the same thing if some thugs were rolling in your part of the hood with something you wanted. SO, the driver and the other two guys (might have just been 3 total) took off all crazy like and I was kind of panicked so I ran into the firehouse where zombies greeted me. I capped zombies like I did the fools on my elementary school field trip and made my way back out to check the body. I hear honking and the guys were circling around. I thought it was hilarious that they just drove off and abandoned their friend in the first place. Before they came back around I managed to loot the body of a double barrel shotgun with just two shots. They eventually and ever-so cleverly came back and parked right where they were during the confrontation (I was hiding behind the building) and started checking his body. Before they got out I unloaded a shot into the back of the truck, not knowing what else to do and then tried to shoot another but missed I think. I ran up on the driver side as the driver was getting out and I straight up jacked their car. I drove around the firehouse lot and got the hell out of there leaving those two and their dead friend behind. I happily drove away honking and laughing in disbelief. I have this all recorded if you guys are interested in seeing it. You cannot call me a bandit asshole! You guys would have done the exact same thing, don't bullshit me! I don't even......racist much?

Here's a friendly tip, no matter what game you are hosting, people will accuse you or your team of cheating. When they don't post evidence the best way to handle it is to either ignore it as most other people do, or post your own evidence to the contrary if you feel the need to. Getting upset about it will only make you miserable because most reports are frivolous. Im not saying this one is real or fake, i'm just letting you know that coming on here and shouting down the op and threatening to quit hosting aren't really helping.

I told the op to post screenshots or videos otherwise he wouldn't be taken seriously. When you joined and started cursing at the op, I advised you on how that kind of action reflects poorly on an admin team who are accused of cheating, and then advised you to just post the logs and let the devs see for themselves what the deal is. Which one of those two things aren't constructive? I am fairly sure shouting in all caps, and cursing at an accuser aren't considered very constructive avenues of discussion.

so post them and stop shouting......you aren't making a very good case for yourself like that

If you aren't here to post server logs showing that hackers are responsible for what the op describes you would do well not to post here. Nothing makes an admin team look guiltier than posting inflammatory remarks on a cheating report about their server team. The best course of action is to post logs, keep quiet, and let the dev team see that you have nothing to hide.

screenshots? videos? you wont get much attention without either. Not being rude, just letting you know what people expect when something this serious is brought up.

22gig is not enough for any extended use of fraps. I make videos regularly with it and its about 19mb per second of raw footage with my settings.

I always just find a thick part of the woods with lots of shrubs and crouch run through it. Between the trees and bushes the zed will lose their line of sight almost immediately.

Alpha is for adding and testing features, Beta is for fixing bugs and balancing gameplay. Move along.
