If you shot him with an M107, point blank, he would be dead. There are 3rd person crosshairs on that server, so I doubt you would miss. I have been killed by players dozens of times playing Dayz, you kind of know the difference between a hacker spawning 2m away from you and hatcheting you and a REAL pvp encounter. To get killed by hackers TWICE last night was turrrrrible. I hope on Admin can check the logs and confirm.

C'mon now. No offense to Rocket's Dev team, but they don't care. They are sitting on a gold mine. They are probably in meetings all day really planning the future of this game. You think they will sit there and read logs all day? There are probably 50+ posts about hackers a day. C'mon mate, they haven't even fixed debug or zombies, or backpacks eating items. They haven't responded to my friend's multiple messages regarding hosting. He owns a huge game hosting company and hosts Arma 2 servers and has many great ideas that he has shared with them about the game and hive and could provide hundreds of servers. 1 month and 6 emails later, not a word from the devs. They have MUCH bigger fish to fry and better ways to spend their time.

If GUIDs of proven hackers are not distributed on these forums, then hackers will never stop. How do you not understand that? There are 1850 server online right now. 1850! Banning from 2 servers is barely a dent. I will be playing on JSKIBO's servers because he is one of the few proactive admins I have met. Tonight, I posted another thread about a cheater (or multiple) on US 236. He killed our group twice. No response. Admin were in the server, as BE informed us they were. They did nothing to stop the teleporting god mode cheater, nor did they respond to my thread. If solid proof, like a copy of the logs, is submitted to the Devs, there SHOULD be a master ban list. That is the only way to stop these hackers. We have all been killed by hackers. If you have played this game for more than 20 hours, it is almost a certainty. They are ruining the game and BattleEye isn't helping. So the only thing to do is ban cheaters. Not just from a handful of servers, but something that would make them think twice about hacking, like the possibility of never logging into another DayZ server unless they generate a new GUID or buy a new copy of Arma2. JSKIBO is an awesome Admin who is dedicating his time and money so that players like us have servers to play on. I applaud him for publishing a verified cheaters GUID on the forums.

OK. Same Server, 1:10AM. My Friend JestyrSavvyn is killed in Berezino by a guy with a silenced gun when NO ONE was around (no footsteps). Literally 30 seconds later, I am killed by a guy who must have telied right on top of me, because I heard his footsepts about 1 sec before he lit me up with a suppressed weapon. I was proned under a pine tree. I was about 5 KM away east of Olsha in the middle of no where. I know there is no proof here, but after a night of nothing but blatant hacks on this server, one could only be suspicious. Admin, please look into this. In the meantime, I need to find a hobby.

Ya... I'm playing again... LOL, I held out for about 45 min. An interest thing I noticed. When this hacker was hitting me, I was seeing this blue writing (side channel) on the bottom left saying "blah blah blah, cease fire". We just noticed that we saw it again at 12:45AM PST on the same server US 236. The player involved in the cease fire message was "Lance Claymore". I went into the lobby and noticed that the player in the number 2 slot "Tyler" is listed as both a survivor and "group leader". My knowledge of Arma 2 leads me to believe that this character can see everyone else's position on the map. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

So whats the deal. Can't we ban him from the hive based on his GUID?

Agreed!

Same thing happened to me... same dude. This guy right? Supposedly his GUID is 49852713e4e9a16a9d95c6bf97e83aac

Wouldn't it be great if using the Hive server had a master BAN list?

Thanks guys, Does a GUID ban span the entire DayZ mod?

So I'm just curious... If the server admin back tracks and figures out this players ID, they can ban the player, but this guy's videos show him dropping bombs in Cherno, spawning FBI units and prostitutes, every gun and vehicle and teleporting around the map. Pretty brazen, which leads me to believe he has found a way to avert the whole ID thing. I know the devs are hard at work on this... hope you figure something out :)

Just to clarify, I am not implying that this was Rocket.

Dude. I think this sneaky bastard just put a comment on my Youtube Video. He's got videos like this on his page.

I know.

Me and a group of 6 of my buddies were playing on TheMercs server "Server (v1.7.5) - Hosted by TheMercs Vet + 3rd Person; UTC +8", and they still haven't updated to 1.7.2.X and all of us have. The only reason I mention this is because we have requested to start our own server as one of our members owns hostedgameservers.com and none of his numerous requests through the server request program have been answered. We would be willing participants in all updates day of, whereas TheMercs are sticking with the old, keeping real alpha testers from testing the game and least importantly, probably looting our camp and stealing our UAZ, Truck, ATV and boat :) I've attempted to contact them on numerous occasions and got no love. We are a group of active forum posters, bug reporters and fans of the game, so hosting our own server would be awesome. I understand that the if you let every request through, the Hive would go bananas, but it seems unfair that some hosters aren't updating and taking up precious slots.

No really though, if we host a 60+ player server can we get a little love?

They didn't change melee. It's always been like this. There is a section for suggestions.

This has nothing to do with the patch... at all. Like, not even close.

All my buddies say its heaps better. I noticed something today when loading my first server: I just bought a new router (netgear blows, Asus all the way), and it refreshed my windows firewall stuff. I was stuck on waiting for character to create, then on loading for a very long time. I Control-Alt-Deleted and saw that windows was blocking arma2 so i had to allow it. Did that, jumped back into arma and it was already loaded in. Everyone having this problem needs to look into their firewall settings.

Really? You thought this forum was decent? LOL you must have not read through many threads...

Why not automatically move characters out of debug using a simple if/then statement? Only question is where? Maybe a random location? Sorry if this has been asked before, but my buds and I got into a huge debate over this today. They are coders and server ops and I'm not. They insist its an easy thing to do and that DayZ might be losing potential players in the community due to loot loss. I know, I know... its Alpha but no one wants to lose their CCO or Ar50 and if you play through 10 days or more and then have to start over, its discouraging. Anyways, is it really this easy? If so, is there a reason not to?

Really? C'mon now... kaOZ has a point. People need to chill the hell out. When you "dedicate" time to playing this game and gathering all of your loot, you HAVE TO understand that this is a FREE MOD that is in its developmental stages, and that your loot is secondary to fixing performance issues, server issues, and pretty much everything else. I had camo, an alice pack, a CCO with 6 Stanags, almost every tool (no GPS), 2 tents, even cars, and they are gone to debug forest land. I don't bitch and moan, I put up a post about the circumstances surrounding the bug to help the dev team figure out how to make this game playable and enjoyable and I start over.

Me and my bro have noticed that sometimes, even without gold or yellow chains, our locations on each others screens aren't synced. We are both on 1.7.2 and 94700. The first time: Approaching a hunting stand through a field. My bro asks me why i'm crouching in a field, when I was already in the tower. Second time: East of Berezino. My bro was crouch walking in place in the field. I was behind the brick wall. When he reached the wall, he teleported on my screen from the field to about 2m infront of me. Third time: Firefight in Elektro high yield. When we ran into each other on the 2nd floor, the guy was jumping around my screen, from the stairs to the hallway in 1 frame. I won :) Not sure if its better or worse, but in all 3 occasions there were no gold or red chains on my screen. In general, game play is smoother though. Specs: My speedtest rings out at 18mbps.

I play with a group of friend on TheMercs server but it hasn't updated to 1.7.2 yet so I decided to log into another and whad-a-ya know, Debug. So I respawned in Electro. Got myself some decent weaponry and hit the grocery store. I got absolutely lit up from the high yield across the street and noticed a guy on the roof with an AK. The hunt was on. I snuck around the back of the grocery store and snuck into the grey building he was in. We had a fire fight, my revolver vs his ak, and I won... kinda. Broken leg and I'm at 1500 blood. No blood bags or morphine... I need some assistance. Message me if ya wanna help me out and we could play on. Needless to say, this bandit had some sweet stuff in his czech pack. Hit me up on steam.
