Just play man. Once you learn about the game which you sound like you have it's really not that hard to get gear back in a couple of hours of play. The only really rare items are luxury and not required, like gps, nvg, ghillie suit, and some of the rarer guns. But you don't NEED those, they're just nice. For example I died earlier today and after about 5-6 hours of play I already have a coyote pack, most tools (just not the rare ones), and an AS50+M1911. Sure a lot of it is luck but if you know where to look and scout things out its really not too bad if you die. I was very lucky with the AS50 and Coyote pack, but other than that you can do just fine with a cz550 or a dmr, or your assault rifle of choice and an alice pack.

You should probably close it, there's no civil with this child. For example here's the pms I exchanged with him yesterday: Me: What do your logs say? I went afk to take a shower and didn't leave the lobby then came back, logged in to play, played for like 3 minutes and got teleported and died like everyone else. I've only played a week mostly on your server, I even just posted on your youtube channel yesterday thanking you for not kicking high pings. This sounds like those TOG guys (who i've never interacted with ingame as far as I know, i've only died twice to other players so far from what I remember) scapegoating some random person to me just because I happened to be afk in the lobby beforehand. Him: Every hear of server log files, script kiddy? Let it go or I will post the log in the cheat reporting and get your Arma 2 Multiplayer banned. Me: Lol what's with the hostility? I know I did nothing. I just got singled out because I happened to be afk in the lobby at a bad time. If your server logs actually tell you stuff you'll easily be able to see that I didn't do anything. Let me tell you what's happened to me the last couple of days of playing: 1- My first good char died in a firefight at the military tents in Stary Sobor. My weapon was only a M4A1 CCO 2- Char died of thrist because I never found any drink spawns 3- My next char that found a Ghillie suit/CZ 550 bugged out and got ported to debug wilderness and I had to respawn. 4- My next char died to this teleport hack that everyone else on your server died to, didn't have anything good, just a lee enfield and a makarov 5- I moved to a different server incase Seattle 127 got hacked again and i'm currently playing a char with a lee enfield/makarov that just got out of Elektro. I'd like to see what your logs have on me, at most you'd see me dcing a bunch because I dc to get zombies off me all the time (but never players, i've never dcd in pvp) ---- Of course he never replied. If there's been anyone not fit to run a server... what a cocky teen. Stay away from Seattle 127 unless you want some guy using moms credit card to rent a server to go on a crusade to try and get you banned from Day Z.

1500km/20min is way too long. Maybe 500m/5min. Does the job just as well. The problem is people logging out right next to spawns, not people running 500m to them.

Yeah vacating this thread is a good idea. Have fun being poor & begging for money yet still believing yourself to be infallible (don't hurt yourself dictionary.comming this word)

Yeah i'm sure you need to promote your channel so that maybe you can get permission to display ads so you won't have to beg for donations. It's funny how you called me a "script kiddie" in pms, you're not even a script kiddie, you can't even read your own server logs and you download other peoples hacked clients to hack minecraft servers. You're just a sad, unfunny loser.

I've found bodies seem to dissapear but still make the flies sound. Happened to me when I took a 30min trek to my corpse once, it was just gone.

you have absolutely no evidence at all aside from paranoia, why even post?

I hope you learned something about reading server logs, something I think an admin should be able to do. No coding experience in my life and I was able to decipher them, no excuse for an admin not to be able to. How can you be trusted to run a server when you can't read logs? "Bro" "Kid" etc. lol what a cool guy. Too cool to admit that you're wrong of course. GL in your server with 0 players except you and your friends. btw, LOL. looks like you're the only hacker here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UdsZdxIgcw8&list=UUNFbcu5tU8eFPhjORNPq9pQ&index=3&feature=plcp http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7FbTNcW3fJ4&list=UUNFbcu5tU8eFPhjORNPq9pQ&index=10&feature=plcp http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6OgeaQSnB00&list=UUNFbcu5tU8eFPhjORNPq9pQ&index=1&feature=plcp what a complete 15 year old tool.

Thank you rhinocrunch for being a server admin who doesn't know how to read server logs, something I taught myself to do in 15min.

There's no LA85A2 in these logs at all. Just a bunch of FN FAL's and some other weapons i've never heard of being picked up by player id's that aren't mine. You're just making things up at this point. Incase rhinocrunch deletes the link to the logs which I suspect he might with how zealous he's being in trying to get the wrong person banned, I saved the link here: http://pastebin.com/uN1SBNB0

I'm really wondering if you even read my post. I don't mean to insult anyone here, but in about 30 minutes, I have learned to read logs better than a server admin can. rhinoCRUNCH does not know how to read his server logs, plain and simple, that is the issue here, as I explained and as i'm sure a real admin who can make more sense of the logs than I can will confirm. There's absolutely no proof here that I did anything at all - it's a witchhunt and I happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. I don't expect you guys to admit you were wrong at all, though - it's human nature not to.

K i'm fairly sure I worked this out. The log displays 2 numbers when a player logs in. The first one seems to be a Session ID, the second one a permanent ID. IE: 31224838 Is my "permanent" ID in the logs My temporary session ids are as follows: 12096715 12097938 12098976 12099632 12099805 If you search for my "permanent id" you can confirm this. After that, search for my "temporary" id and you will see everything I looted. Not once in this log are any of my ids associated with looting anything you wouldn't expect a new character fresh out of Cherno to be looting, and as I said, the fact that dc'd/reconnected about 7-8 times is because 1) I was server hopping to loot 2) I log off to lose zombie aggro Both of these things are cheating, yes, but they aren't HACKING. I'd also like to clarify that I have never and will never dc from a fight with an actual player. The Id's that you see in this log looting all the high tier gear and such appear to be players whos ID's aren't in the log because they havn't dc'd or reconnected. I'd guess it's people who went and looted tents after their chars died or something and not anything to do with someone looting dead bodies (why would a hacker loot bodies anyway? THEY CAN SPAWN ANYTHING THEY WANT). All in all I think over the last hour i've developed a decent ability to read Arma 2 logs.

This is all a total lie. I just logged in and this is my inventory, after about 2 hours of looting around Elektro and then the Cherno apartments/hospital, after I DIED when I was teleported into the sky along with everyone else on your server: The most advanced weapon i've ever had in my inventory has been an M4A1 CCO and a couple of AK's. I only got Arma 2 CO on the 2nd of this month. I'm really amazed that you went to all this effort just to blame some random person. Why on earth would a hacker loot bodies when they can just spawn items/vehicles etc whenever they want, as is quite well documented? You think a hacker who can teleport people into the sky wouldn't be able to do that? I can't read these logs at all as i've played this game for a week and have absolutely no idea wtf any of that means, but I have no doubt that they either don't mean what you think they mean or that you just plain edited them to make me look guilty. I also have MANY posts I made on unrelated forums about this when it happened, complaining about how I died and how hackers have killed me around 5 times now. I'd be glad to give an admin access to my accounts to these forums (as they are private) and you can check out the posts I made for yourself. I could just screenshot them but screenshots prove nothing. All in all it's really disgusting the lengths you're going to just to blame some random person whos new to the game for something they didn't do at all. Here's what I was doing when this happened: I went afk for about 30min and stayed in the lobby because reconnecting to this game takes 5min+ for me. I came back from afk and spawned in. Ran around looting for about 2-3 min at Mogilovka, then got teleported into the sky and died. After this, I started a new character, looted around Cherno for a bit, and then went to Vysota. Here I server hopped a couple of times in order to loot the barn. Yeah server hopping is bad etc, but it's NOT hacking. Next I went to Kozlovka where I server hopped a few times again to loot the deer stand. After that I logged out for a bit, then when I came back I played on a different server and respawned to meet up with a friend since I didn't have any good items anyway. If there are logs on the hive server, I have no doubt that the Day Z admins can confirm everything i've said here. K I think I learned to read the logs now. I think you're connecting the messages of me connecting followed by items being written to the hive as me being the one looting them. I havn't coded anything since html in high school so I could be wrong but at a glance that's what it looks like to me, assuming you didn't edit these of those. From what I see you can see my real items here. The # thing is 12096715 15:00:12 "HIVE: WRITE: "CHILD:201:12096715:[118,[6529.62,2355.87,0.974679]]:[["ItemFlashlight"],["ItemBandage","ItemPainkiller","ItemSodaCoke","8Rnd_9x18_Makarov","ItemBandage"]]: 15:00:12 "HIVE: WRITE: "CHILD:201:12096715:[118,[6529.62,2355.87,0.974679]]:[["ItemFlashlight"],["ItemBandage","ItemPainkiller","ItemSodaCoke","8Rnd_9x18_Makarov","ItemBandage"]]:[]:[]:false:false:0:0:12:0:["","aidlpknlmstpsnonwnondnon_player_idlesteady03",37]:0:0:"Survivor2_DZ":0:" / 12096715" 15:00:51 "HIVE: WRITE: "CHILD:201:12096715:[105,[6543.91,2411.21,0.00143862]]:[["ItemFlashlight"],["ItemBandage","ItemPainkiller","ItemSodaCoke","8Rnd_9x18_Makarov","ItemBandage","8Rnd_9x18_Makarov","2Rnd_shotgun_74Pellets","6Rnd_45ACP"]]: ["ItemBandage","ItemPainkiller","ItemSodaCoke","8Rnd_9x18_Makarov","ItemBandage","8Rnd_9x18_Makarov","2Rnd_shotgun_74Pellets","6Rnd_45ACP","ItemMorphine"]]:[]:[]:false:false:0:0:19:0:["","aidlpknlmstpsnonwnondnon_player_idlesteady02",40]:0:0::0:" / 12096715" Etc etc. I looted most of my other items on that char from other servers because as I said I was server hopping for loot, which is probably why they don't show up. IIRC I had a double barreled shotgun and no sidearm. The way the loot progresses there its pretty clear to me that's my character, because when I spawned in I was at Cherno and I immediately went to the northernmost hospital/apartments to loot. You see me loot ammo along the way just incase I found a gun, and then morphine shows up in my inventory once I made it to the apartments.

On Regular difficulty servers other players can see you with a white marker and a name over your head. I would suggest not playing on them for that reason alone, its impossible to hide.

So i'm pretty new, only started about a week ago, but in this week i've learned some things that might be able to help new people trying to get out of what might seem like an infinite loop of die/respawn/die. Step 1: Respawn until you get spawned at Cherno or Elektro, or nearby. You can use this map to determine if you're nearby: http://dayzdb.com/map Step 2: In Cherno, sprint through town straight to the northernmost hospital. If there's not many people around, you can check any loot spawns along the way, but the best way to be safe is simply to book it north asap. At the northernmost hospital, get at least 2 morphine, some bandages, painkillers, antibiotics, and if you plan to play with other players pick up at least 1 blood bag and epi pen. Next head to the apartments nearby. Your main aim here is to get at least 2 cans of food and drink to last you a while. Loot any tools/backpack you find as well, and if you can fit it into your pack, get some lee enfield/makarov ammo incase you find one of those weapons later on. If you get a weapon great, if not, you will find one later - a weapon isn't essential for this early point in the game if you're being careful and sneaky. In Elektro, sprint through the town to the east. All very close to eachother as you can see on the map linked earlier are a hospital, a school house and a supermarket. If the town has lots of players, you want to avoid the schoolhouse because it's so big and looting it will take a long time. Get 2+ morphine and whatever other med supplies you might need from the hospital then head to the supermarket. Get as much food/drink as possible and of course loot any weapon, backpack or tools you find, then get out of there asap and head north into the wilderness. If you die while doing any of this, just respawn and try again. It takes 5-10 minutes tops so you don't lose much. I play on servers with at least 20+ players always and i've only died while doing these runs to another player once (I died 2 other times just to my own stupidity due to zombies). Also, if you find a weapon, shoot anyone you see first. At this early stage of the game everyone you see could have potentially useful loot for you, and if you don't kill other players before they kill you, you'll just get pked yourself. If you get zombies on you either run through buildings to lose them or just kill them if you found a weapon. It's not worth it to meticulously sneak around town on a new character, you have nothing to lose and it takes way too long. I firmly believe the main reason new people have so much trouble is because they hang around the main towns for far too long. Once you get the bare essentials theres no reason to stick around, other places have loot just as good and they are 10x safer.

they're reusable, but finding them or not is luck. I found them instantly on my latest char, before that never found a single box that I didn't loot from someones body

Streamers already black that stuff out themselves so I don't see the problem.

I find it easier to just run at full sprint to loot spots and then try to lose them by running in & out of buildings.

Theres enough meters in this game.

I can't wait to go around Chenaurus shooting my Fagot.

In order to hunt you mostly need to go into open fields (except for boars) and discharge your weapon. That alone is risky enough imo.

Um, if you're near enough to a player for them to hear you and you don't see them you definitely didn't do a good job of being sneaky. And players don't have better loot than what you can find anywhere on the ground.

Just quit playing and come back in a few months when things are fixed.

CZ550 because <300m combat in this game is much riskier than clearing a town with a sniper rifle from 500+ before you go in.

You have to reload it. Press R then you can use it. This is fixed next patch.
