Avean (DayZ)

Hi, Me and my team found a new server to play on while dayzland.eu is in maintenance. We came across several players who acted very strange, one of em actually spawned 4 times in a row with an AS50 and fully geared. This obviously made me very suspicious so i called him out in the chat and asked an admin to check the logs. Admin says everything is fine ................. Next i know i get an Admin Ban with violation #4 which i dont know what means. I havent done anything wrong, not crashed a chopper or any vehicle at all. No duping or cheating in any kind. Server IP is: 159.253.149.26:3323 and my GUID is: a780fe6ce62d9cbced944eb4a55e8ac2 They have no way to contact the admins either. Better yet, im always recording with my Avermedia live gamer capture card, so i have 1080P footage of EVERY second of playing on that server if needed.

- Name Avean - Location Norway - GUID a780fe6ce62d9cbced944eb4a55e8ac2

Just hope its done better than whats shown on DayZland before. They did that for Taviana where zombies could hit you inside the vehicle. But it was just dumb. A chopper that needs 8 Windows fixed, one hit by a zombie and everything got destroyed. So if they can hit you i just hope its very low damage. Arma 2 engine isnt built for gameplay like that.

Yeah humanity carries over to death. So typical bandits will usually stick with the bandit skin. But I find it weird how many survivors who actually shoot on sight though. By my calculations most players in starting areas should spawn as Bandits but they have survivor skin ........ so something is bugged about this im sure, I dunno what. Seeing a survivor SHOULD mean that you can "probably" trust him considering a single survivor kill means -1500 points or something. That's not easy fixable.

2500 players banned from one server ?

No are you crazy ? Cant have leaderboards until hackers are gone which probably wont be until Standalone release. Giving even more attention to hackers is the worst thing u could ask for right now.

I think one of the biggest issues we have with players killing other players right now is to do with the skins basicly. We have no clue who to trust so its better to shoot first and ask later. Two days ago i racked up 6 player kills which was against survivors, this made me a Bandit and got the skin. Yet the next day after killing many zombies i was back to normal. But my personality is still "Bandit". So the timer for the Bandit skin should be alot longer based on your history. If you accidently kill a survivor then its fine, but if you have racked up 5+ in one week then you should be marked as a Bandit and need to work alot to get rid of it. And same with Survivor skin, if you see one you should know right away that he has not killed any survivors but bandits. But thats not the case now. I have seen several people camping out and killing survivors out in the field and they are wearing survivor skins. So its no wonder people are getting confused out there and just finally decides to kill everyone on sight.

Ive always had normal skin but last 2 days i was pushed to the very edge by some people killing beginners over and over again so i hunted every single one of em down and killed them. Basicly 5-6 murders. So now i have a bandit skin. I know humanity can be increased by giving blood and stuff like that, but what about killing zombies ? or just waiting ingame

Hopefully the standalone has no hackers. I really couldnt care less about improved graphics, zombie ai or anything else if they dont fix this problem. I know rocket has said its his main focus so hopefully he can deal with it. You cant have a game like this that requires tons of hours spent ingame only to loose everything by a hacker.

How can you say that ? Just posting stuff like this will invite hundreds of hackers to your server to prove you wrong.

Just a quick question, i have made several threads in Bug Reports especially ways to dupe but it never gets posted. Is it moderated before it gets shown ?

I agree about the AMMO. If you lets say had 2 bullets and a struggle finding more for an M107. Would you use it to hunt other players or to keep it in emergency situations ? I think the last. It would fix alot of the PvP problems right now as well and balance the game alot more. But i dont think we are experienced DayZ balance as it should, not since ever. Hackers have brought in tons of weapons and duping is done by everyone as its so easy, so everyone running around with ghillies and snipers. Thats not how it is supposed to be at all. Ghillies and camo have like 0.2% spawn rate, pretty ridiculous that entire clans have them right ?

I am 30 and playing with several players of same age. We are not bandits. I figured in a game which is filled with hackers and players killing others on sight, it needed a few heroes.

Agree with OP, there are too many guns available and there is no point in having this high end weapons as well.

What are the odds of finding weapons like .50 calibre rifles and guns with thermal sights and M4A1 rifle with silencer when you start out as a survivor with nothing ? I think this game should stick with shotguns and simple rifles, like hunting rifles and make them alot more rare. That means people will start cooperate more since we need each others help. Its too easy to find ammo and weapons right now. Also giving us access to high end weapons only leads to war and fights basicly. Keep the game simple and real.

I dont understand this thread, you didnt see him doing anything as you were kicked minutes after joining the server. And the server is completely open full of players right now, if he wanted his server alone he would password protect it. Maybe you got kicked by having too high ping ?

It would make it more interessting and difficult to survive if weapons were more rare or ammo for that matter. Right now i have L85, M107, M4A1 CCO SD, DMR and alot more. Do i need these weapons ? Hell no. Going into a big city to get supplies is not a problem, i can just kill every zombie in the city and stock up on ammo again fast. If not remove high-end weapons, make em alot more rare, make ammo even more rare. Make it harder ..... Thats my point.

Geezes, whats up with hackers buying the game twice just to make hell for other people. When someone can be this crazy ingame imagine them in real life.

The whole idea of this game is the freedom and there are no rules. Speaking of endgame content, yeah there is none but at the same time with the freedom we got there is basicly 10000000 stuff to do. Look at youtube all the crazy stuff people are doing, everything from taking prisoners, running army camps to rescuing people. Stuff like this would never be possible if this game wasnt as free as it is. Game is perfect. Its totally up to us what we will do with it.

Another reason why there must be a database wipe when hackers are dealt with. Server full with 50 players getting an AS50 AWS, then bringing them to other servers, it gets duped and spreads like wildfire. This is why there is so abundant of rare stuff in telts nowadays like tons of ghillies, camo and rare weapons.

I set up some tents and packed them down again to position the tents perfectly. Little did i know the tents that i packed came up again after server restart. If i destroy them they will automaticly come up again after restart as well. Any way to fix this ? I think this has been a issue for the last month or something.

Very nice video and really good and calm music to go with it as well. 99.9% would probably logout in the firefights you were having so KUDOS to you for sticking around until the end.

So many bugs coming from Arma 2 which is surprising when its been out for so many years. Probably not many bothered with it in an online match in Arma 2 but in DayZ every small bug can become a HUGE balance issue.

Any official word on how long you can survive when your water icon flashes ?

Oh cool, so you cant just suddenly die ? It only drops your blood level until you are empty of blood ?
