I also think it be a good idea to spawn with at least 1 bandage and generally have more bandages around to loot, So many times i died because i got hit once and i couldn't even find a single bandage anywhere not even in the freaking hospital.

My biggest problem at the moment is performance, i have a i7 CPU clocked at 4.2Ghz, 8GB ram and a GTX 780 and the way the game engine utilises your hardware is stupid. iI had like 30 or 24 FPS around small towns or city and only get 60+ in a forest or looking at the ocean. I know that this game is more CPU intensive but even so only 1 core of my CPU is been used more then 60% and the other cores are pretty much idle, as for my GPU only about 44% to 50% total usage. I know its alpha i am not really complaining just stating what is currently the biggest issue for me.

You can see what happens here when i equip them... Before http://i.imgur.com/cGeckGA.jpg After http://i.imgur.com/RFIfhf6.jpg

You know I been playing DayZ from the very start of the mod and when I come into these forums and read some of the community ideas it really worries me. What I mean is that I see people asking for features such as "Quests, NPCs and (End game Content) Seriously this is not a MMORPG is a MMO to some degree yes but it's a survival FPS game. if you really want NPCs quests or safe zone there are plenty of MMORPGS out there to play. I really hope that rocket and his dev team do not change the formula that made this game great, which is the open survival game where you make your own journey not some NPC telling you what to do, also the fact that your always at a risk of getting killed just adds more thrill to playing it.

I couldn't agree more mate and I truly understand where your coming from. Bottom line of this sad story is that I will remain patient for the remaining time period of my server and if the hacking has not settled down/dealt with in some way then I really got no choice but to no longer keep throwing money at the DayZ servers I host. I mean they already announced that DayZ is going stand alone and I'm quite certain that it will have far better security against cheating and hacking, however that doesn't change the fact that current DayZ mod is still very active and as you said it would be a shame to let the "12 year old" script kids to win.

I would like to kindly request all my regular and none regular players that come on my server to kindly report any suspicious activity on our forums at http://www.fanatix-dayz.tk/ This will at least help me avoid banning players unrightfully and drama on the forums. Thanks guys

Thank you for the link and the suggestion, over the course of past week i have been banning a number of people that are clearly violating the rules and I'm not taking about the guys who are ALT-F4ing. The problem is that the number of hackers have increased drastically, this could be because DayZ has gotten allot more players or it could be that people have realized just how useless Battle Eye is at the moment. Either way it is almost impossible to ban every single hacker/Script kid out there for the simple fact that they are just too damn many now days. Just yesterday we had a few guys together who mass teleported every one to a closed location so they can battle it out for their entertainment, i believe they call this "Thunderdome" or whatever Mad Max reference they want to use. and earlier on the same day we had few UH-1H spawned on the map and dropped on Chernogorsk and few days before that they committed mass murder on the server killing most of my regular players. Now as i said i try to be there and monitor the log and ban as much as i can but i cant devote my life to sit there every moment and check the logs, and even if you manage to do something like that its impossible to catch and ban all of the hackers. The real solution to this issue is for BI to step up and do something about this ever growing (GAME BREAKING) problem considering the fact we (The guys who pay for the server) have very little control over what we can do and change. I would love to be able to password protect my server so that my regular players and server community can play with out the risk of getting killed because of hacking/scripting. I am forced to keep my server off today 8/8/2012 because of issue stated above, again i desperately request urgent attention to a serious problem we have here. Either let us password protect our servers so that our community can play safely or improve battle eye and put an end to this insane mass hacking that going on, otherwise like i said the list of DayZ servers will decline sooner or later simply because no one in there right mind will keep paying/supporting something which is in constant threat. It feels like a waste.

I find your post to be pretty stupid too, you would feel the same way if you see the shit we are going through at the moment and the fact that we have very little control over what we can do. My server is been under constant attack for the past week now from hackers mass teleport to a "thunderdome" to item spawning, mass killing and ect. My regular players are frustrated that they getting killed after having spent hours/days on there character finding rare gear the legit way and then losing it in matter of seconds. So yes i would be "butthurt" too and i do agree with a mass shutdown of all servers, i find this to be a good idea so we can send a message that we are the ones choosing to pay from our pockets and is because of people like us that DayZ has such a large community, and so if nothing is done about these hackers/script kids then one by one the list of dayz servers will start to decline. As for offering a solution, what possible solution can i offer when the control we have over the servers we pay for are so limited. As it stands the current condition of hacking as raised to a new height over the past few weeks and is really out of control.

I wouldn't be surprised if the number of dayz servers start declining if nothing is done about this mass hacking.

I do agree with you, but what is going on with the massive amount of hacking recently, is like in the past few weeks the number of hackers grown in double or even more and they rampaging all over the place. I did a quick research online and there are so many website actively promoting even selling ***s and trainers and et cetera, as it stands now things are really way out of control.

I understand that Dayz Mods don't wish for servers to be password protected because then Admins and their friends can run around loot the server dry keep restarting and repeat and ect. However over the past 2/3 weeks I been playing on some other servers and noticed so many hacked weapons in the game such as Big ammo/gear box on the beach full of weapons and items (Some of which is not even in the dayz database) but on top of that we have these guys who teleport everyone on the server to a closed location they created and make them fight each other. the amount of shit that's going on now days on almost every server is just ridiculous. It may sound like exaggeration but is not. The regular players on my server are complaining that they farmed all this gear from NWA or other hotspots for hours/days and they lose it in a matter of seconds due to some hacker mass killing or teleporting people. Something needs to be done about this ASAP because I doubt people are going to continue paying to keep their servers alive with these conditions.

Sorry for double posting but I will no longer support DayZ by paying for my server, because I just can't do anything about all these script kids completely molesting the server and all the regular players. I'm sorry but you can't understand how frustrating this is...

Mate I just don't know what to do any more, there are so many hackers ruining my server now days and I can't do anything about it, how many people do you think I can ban? and even if I do ban someone who will just come on these forums and start to cry about "Admin Abuse" WTF am I paying for then.... My question is how can I check who is doing what on my server so I can at least ban the right guys?

I like to ask the DayZ dev to allow us more control over the server, like been able to password protect it, I just had to take my server down yet again due to Hacker mass teleporting every one in one location, or spawning items and ect. This is so frustrating now because I don't know what to do, regular players on my server complain they died to hackers, almost every day there is some one new doing all kinds of shit and we can't do nothing about it. In the past 2 weeks the amount of hacking has increased significantly and is getting out of control. We who pay for the server are the ones who keep this community alive, without people like us who are willing to pay every months to get a server hosted this community of players would not exist, so there for I strongly advice that you guys allow more control over our server so that we can at least manage our regular players. At this very moment my server is under heavy attack and I was forced to shut it down. Any help or suggestion would be appreciated to help me deal with this issue right now guys, the in game Admin control panel doesn't let me ban people because I get kicked every time I try to log in. Is there any way that I can do a mass ban or something because this is out of control right now.

You want to know what frustrates me? We had people on our server item spawning today, if you check my post you can see I came to the forums requesting help, anyway we noticed some guy flying in the air with his Character scanning the map doing all kinds of weird shit so I try to access the control panel and Ban this guy every damn time I try to log in to the game admin control panel I get kicked off. So I make announcement and take the server down because I can't do anything else to help the situation. then you get all these guys coming at me with Admin Abuse "how he turned the server off when we discovered a golden poo on the ground". I pay £41 for this server for few months now, and I try and manage it as fairly as I can but is getting to the point where I just can't be arsed to deal with all this issues and not be able to do anything about it.
