We all need a fresh start. Things have gotten past the point of stupidity. Tents are everywhere with uber military grade items that respawn every 6 hours (reset). Vehicles are hoarded by clans or hidden off the map and every second noob is running around with an AS50, not to mention the amount of hacked in items. Please wipe and restart from scratch.

Tents should be wiped and reset at the very least. I didn't mean we lose all the gear we are holding on our toons.

I snuck up on a sniper the other day when all I had was an axe. I got to within 2 steps of him and he alt f4'd then tried to ghost me. I know there are other big issues with the game right now, but yeah if there is a script that could fix this it needs implementing.

US 5 Unrepentant Has sidechat, cross and 3person. Also active admins.

Honestly, get fraps and run it as much as you can. Fraps is currently the only decent way to post evidence of Hacking, but even that isn't foolproof. Smart hackers don't use teleporting or thunderdome, they just track your movements and shoot you with normal weapons. Knowing where everyone is makes you effectively death incarnate in this game.

So wait, helicopters do save to location? I have never had one survive a server restart, though to be fair I didn't try restarting the server again to see if the chopper came back.

Hey there, I'm curious what sort of "long term goals" you all have in mind for the game, given the issues of hackers etc? I usually play on a US server but I'm from Scotland so that obviously brings with it timezone issues.

They should be killable, that would be fun.

This is brilliant.

I don't know much about hacking or scripts, but from what I do know it seems the best defence against hacking is having fraps always running, a good server admin and a server with nametags and sidechat.

Yeah, given choppers respawn on the island no matter what you do, what you are actually asking for is a high risk gather and repair team, which is fine but unless you are hacking in a fully repaired one, there is work to be done.

If anything shows the average age of most Dayz players, it is this poll. Boys and girls? Is the OP 12? It should read "man" and "woman".

Hey, I've been playing for a few months now, and I do read the patch notes but I'd still love it if someone could confirm/deny what is going on with these two things. Helicopters. We know they are back and we all know where they spawn. I've repaired and flown 3 of them but no matter how I fix it up or where I save it, every server restart makes it vanish. Is there a fix for this, do I have a bad patch or does my server suck? Tents. Currently they appear to be infinite. You can't destroy them and if you place a tent then pack it up, a restart brings back the old tent plus the same tent placed in a different location.

The problem right now is that vehicles are the only reliable way to store items, given tents are unstable. So until they fix the tents people won't want to risk moving all their precious loots around.

This is the greatest idea I've seen for this game, and literally the funniest thing I've read on this website. Take my beans you crazy mofo!

Eating dead players should be in the game, why not? Meat is meat. However, it would seriously lower your humanity and probably make you puke, randomly. There would have to be a drawback.

Yesterday our clan's camp was taken out, but not only this, every camp we've ever seen and many we have not were black marked on the server map with sarcastic comments like "tent city bitches" etc, all within the space of a few hours. These camps were all over the map, and the time it would have taken to get between them would be in the hours. My clan tried to retake our camp, indeed one of our lads scoped it out using a thermal rifle for well over 30 minutes and didn't see anything alive. When he moved past a certain point he got shot in the head. We aren't annoyed our camp got hit, that happens to everyone but it does seem really suspicious every camp on the map was marked, presumably by the same person. Today, I placed one single tent in a location so well hidden when I took 10 steps from the tent even I couldn't see it. There is no way anyone could stumble upon it by accident. You'd literally have to walk to the edge of a cliff, then turn around and look back at the moutain. 40 minutes after I placed it and dropped off a few items I came back and the tent was empty. I don't like to cry Hackers for no reason, but apparently they can run scripts that show them all the tents on the map, and they then just teleport to them. The only people who were on last night and today are called Dylan and Dreamtripper. How do I prevent this?

It'll vanish come server reset, so have max fun while you can. IE, flyby's of Cherno.

KOS is just the safest and most practical way to stay alive and this will be the defacto state until they add some kind of negative aspect to being a player killer. I met a random player in the cherno grocery store yesterday. I had the drop on em with an enflield, but like the idealistic spaz I am, I asked if they were friendly before opening fire. "yeah buddy, just here for food!" he replied. He didn't aim at me and I moved on past him. 10 seconds later I took a rifle blast in the back. My fault of course, I should have killed him or not revealed myself. Fact remains though, there is no benifit to being a good guy and no drawback to being a bandit. Until they change that, it's KOS.

I see where you are going with this, and there is some merit to it. However, there are so many fuel sources in this game for fuel to be rare, either those big tankers would need to have a daily limit on the number of Jerry can's they could fill, or Jerry cans themselves would be to become very rare so that refuelling would be a big problem.

I'd support this idea as long as they were reasonably rare, not quite as rare as other vehicles, but rare enough and tricky to keep alive and healthy.

Cool beans bro!

Time of incident, 9:24am gmt (4:24am EST). 10 minutes or so eariler a large group of my friends, who were way outside of any towns in a camp (literally over 6k from any places) got hit very fast and hard by 3 people with DMR's. So at the above time I was sneaking through Cherno and me, and everyone else on the server got teleported, with our legs broken and all our items taken into the forest. No one was shooting but everyone was really pissed off. Here is a list of the players on the server at the time Harken (me) Zander pvt L Nelson Flipz YES MAN Wesley Capt Game session ruined, please investigate and ban accordingly.

I'd just found 2 ghillie suits, a camo suit and my alice pack was full of supplies and I was heading out of town.
