We have never banned a single player from our server. We have never even kicked a single player off our server, even when we have been under attack by cheaters. Yet, a couple of players found our camp, stole our vehicles, and we tracked them down 3km from where they were stolen from. We retook the vehicles and according to these players, "the admins are cheating and are using a vehicle hack" to find the vehicles they had stolen. These two guys have even posted a thread on Reddit about our "cheating admins" and how our server was "crap". Lied about there being multiple complaints about the admins, when there's never been one. They then posted the location of our camp and told people to go get revenge. We're not worried about the camp, not the first time we have had to move a camp or lost gear after it was compromised. It is the fact that we have a continuous Reddit army coming into the server to get revenge on "cheating" admins, and we have had more cheaters today than in the last fortnight (3 terrordome teleports so far today). What does upset me, is that a situation like above can destroy a server and it's reputation, all based on the words of one little butthurt player. There are abusive admins out there, but there are a lot more good admins than there are bad. We need some love.

Carry around a spare set of civilian clothes. Rob a ghillie player at gunpoint and get them to switch clothes before stealing the ghillie. Damn you ALT+F4!

Hello. The temperature reading from the debug monitor was removed. The temperature system and the temperature gauge are still in the game. I was saying that the gauge was broken, nothing more, nothing less.

The temp gauge is broken. I spent a few hours on a night server last night. My temperature gauge never dropped below a slight greenish red. Then I start coughing. I checked the gauge, thought it was someone on ts, started coughing again. Decided to light a campfire, sat beside it, kept coughing, caught a cold and started losing health. Had to keep eating just to make it back to where where I could find anti-biotics. The gauge never changed color once.

Outside the supermarket at Zelengorst. Going in, see a survivor coming out. He sees me and retreats back in. After about 5 mins, I approach and say I'm friendly, no response. I say I'm coming in, no response. I peek around the corner, no one there. I move through the supermarket, no one there. He must've gone out the front, I reckon. Go into a back room, start gathering supplies. Then got headshot from behind from the room I just left. He must've logged off and sat in the lobby for 5 mins, then logged back in and spawned directly behind me. It was my first death from a player, and my first death from a relogger.

Two problems with this .... A lot of us have genuine gear. Yes, we dump stuff in tents, and then we go out looking for more, which is dumped in tents and ad infinitum. The major problem is when we decide to move camp, we can't take all the tents with us. Even if they are emptied and saved, the tents remain, and more often than not, the gear respawns in them. Fixing tents so that they don't dupe, will eventually lead to everything returning to normal levels after time. A wipe could be done, but would also punish legitimate players. Supposing you are away or not online, or don't read patch notes or forums ... what happens when those players discover all their gear gone? Finally, a suggestion. Bind one tent to one player. That profile should be able to remove and replace the tent, even after death. As it stands now, you can place as many tents as you want, and once you die having pitched a tent .... it cannot be unpitched ... it remains there forever, and this is a major problem especially as these tents can respawn their contents after every server reset.

ah, ok, you can keep that then. We'll take the heli when eventually find it. deal? ;)

I believe they are working on it chaps. Server seems to have gone missing from six launcher for some reason, but can accessed from the in-game multiplayer options. Server auto-restarts at 7am (GMT) from now on. Main admin has been busy/away for the last few days, but we're hoping he and vilayer get things sorted soon. boat, if your vehicles went missing about 36 hours ago .... we found them :) dead, if your vehicle was the yellow car .... we found that too. :) Just returning the favor for the guys that nicked all our vehicles a few days ago .... assuming that was you boat? .... otherwise, there's another large group of players we're playing cat and mouse with.

Doesn't every zombie game, book, tv show, and movie, recommend shooting them in the head? It's common sense really. Not shooting zombies in the head just doesn't seem natural to me. The debug monitor does seem to record Zombies killed, and Zombie headshots ..... so what's the problem? I like the nerf. Zombies are dangerous again.

The fact that your friend was on vacation is meaningless. It just means he wasn't able to log in to see his ban sooner. Can we help in this forum? Can the DayZ mod and dev team help? Did you read the sticky at the top of the page regarding global bans? Is it likely that your "friend" will be unbanned by Battleye? The answers to all these questions and more can be found in the vid clip below.

Or ... the tents could be set up to automatically save everytime an item is removed from it ... don't know how much extra server load it would cause, but it would solve the duping. Or, maybe the glitch where you place a tent and then pack it up, and repitch it, maybe more than once .... which causes hot steamy tent loving while the server is rebooting before your one tent then performs miracles and dupes itself. Less tents, less storage. Most of my clan's gear is legit, we recently kicked someone for duping. What isn't legit is our three previous camp sites (raided sigh), where we periodically have to go to in order to dump the gear, save the tents and then destroy them. A couple of server restarts later .... rinse and repeat.

Pretty hard to hide admin abuse when there are over 800 people watching. I was watching too and judging from the ghillies and the gear the admin's were using, it is pretty obvious that they are carebear hoarders. Pretty sure there was some ALT F4Gotry going on as soon as they soon as the bang bus occupants started shooting back, and a server restart when it became obvious they were outnumbered and about to lose their vehicles and gear. in b4 the admin response claiming the restart was automatic and just bad luck for those involved in the firefight.

Makes sense. One the current hacks in-game is the ability to teleport every vehicle to your location, as reported in other threads. This includes anyone inside the vehicle at the time.

Again, if you read my point, as the game is in alpha, it is pointless to say "reduce ammo" when it can be replicated. It is pointless to say, "remove or reduce snipers" when they can be replicated. "Pointing out improvements" for a problem that is bug related, and not drop related, is not productive as the mod is in alpha! Fix the replication problems and then feel free to discuss the drop rates.

I think the whole ... "make ammo scarcer", "remove sniper rifles", "lower drop rates" .... are all discussions that are a waste of time. The truth is ... this is an alpha with some major bugs in the game engine. "Make ammo scarcer" is a useless argument as long as ammo can be duped and replicated ... maybe the drop rate is perfect as it is, but due to glitches, it is more common. "Remove sniper rifles or lower drop rates", again, maybe they are fine as is, we won't know until the tent dupe glitch is solved. I've seen numerous weapons left in tents and removed, magically reappear with a server reset, even if the tents were saved. If everyone was out looking for crash sites and constantly checking the barracks, there would be fewer sniper rifles around. As long as the glitches remain, both accidental and intentional, and hackers are spawning weapons crates, we'll never know whether or not the balance is fine, and the constant threads making these suggestions will continue.

Don't think it was faked .....

because 13 year olds aren't allowed to play this game? :P

Saving the tents just saves the current inventory. Explosives and/or driving over them in vehicles destroys the tents and their contents .... at least until the next server restart :(

Aparently there's a mass banning going on at the moment .... mainly the server nukers and teleporters. That looks like the Battleye number for one of them. http://www.reddit.com/r/dayz/comments/x5ouc/hooray_ban_wave_in_progress/

One of my clanmates did that. He was using a tent to drop off weaps and forgot he had a nade in his inventory. Alt+tab ..... in the middle of the camp. End result was 3 dead and another needing a blood transfusion and morphine. The bugger didn't even have a scratch. (Sorry Hex ... had to be told!)

found it ironic that he calls himself "Yello".

They can be found, but not usually in forests unless someone parked it there. hope you checked it for gear that someone might have stored in it. also remember the location you found it and scout around the area for a while, you might locate a camp.

And yet I fail to see a problem?

If I didn't know you, I'd consider this a trap. You could always carry around spare civilian clothing, rob a ghillie suited player at gun point, and force them to change clothes. ;)

I'm in favor of the XXX was killed by XXX msgs. Our server used to have them and I miss them. There is no downside to it as far as I can see. It helps combat cheaters and we know who they are. It prevents players from making admin abuse threads when they see it wasn't the admin who killed them. It helps admins to have players being able to identify cheaters and report them. It would prevent accusations of server hopping and ghosting when you realise that there was more than one player(s) in the firefight. It would prevent players from submitting bug reports because they died crawling under a tree, when in reality, they were sniped and never heard the bullet. At the moment, other than screenshots and/or process of elimination, cheaters are being given free rein to do or kill anything they want.
