Last couple of sentence were TLDR .... forgot to add it. soz.

lolz ... and your description says you are an admin? I'll need to avoid that one, because you obviously have no interest in protecting the gaming experiences of others. Where else can players report a cheater? Do you give your personal email address to everyone who logs onto your server? The OP provided the server name, the time, the names of the players involved, and a description of what happened .... exactly what is requested in the cheat report sticky.

+1 Most hunting crossbows have scopes, a scope should be added. Bolts in packs of 5. While we're on the case, hatchet was a tool that became a primary weapon, could the hunting knife not become a secondary weapon?

Problem 1 : Players expectations are set too high when they arrive into the game from watching edited action highlights on youtube with 2 hours of crawling, walking, and foraging edited out, or reading game reviews written by old school gamers. Problem 2: Players expectations are based on other zombie shooters such as L4D, Killing Floor, and Resident Evil. Problem 3: Players have no understanding of what Alpha's and Beta's are. Problem 4: Players expectations of gaming have been defined (corrupted) by cookie cutter production lines like EA, Activision, and Ubisoft. Problem 5: Players can't get used to not having respawns, progession tracking, and save games. Problem 6: Players have been playing too much CoD and BF3 Problem 7: A lot of players are too young to understand what old school gaming is. And DayZ is definitely old school. Make a mistake, die. Problem 8: A lot of modern kids are brought up to feel self entitled and are spoiled rotten. "I want it, and I want it now!" Throwing tantrums is considered normal and acceptable. Problem 9: You may not like a game. It happens. Move on. Don't cry about it. Feel free to add to the problems that generate OPs like this one. (39yo and gaming for over 30 years and personally believe DayZ is the most original and exciting thing to happen to gaming in over 10 years. Thanks Rocket.)

Three biggest problems with the Alpha at the moment imho. 1. Duping items. 2. Combat Logging (Alt+F4) 3. Hackers Of the three, I imagine that combat logging would be the easiest to fix but they are all intertwined. Duping items leads to inflated item economy of rare items which leads to less foraging and more pvp. More pvp leads to more combat logging. Hackers spawn in items at will and are mainly interested in griefing (pvp). If combat logging is fixed, cheap players will just find more ways to dupe items, or may be tempted to script in order to get the items. My fear is that just fixing just one of these three will lead to an increase in the other two. At least two of the three would need to be fixed to make a major impact. However, imagine the pvp carnage on the coast and in the towns when combat logging is finally resolved. :)

I'll pass this on to the admin. Thx. We're all in the same boat when it comes to dealing with these losers.

Your friend is using discreet graphics (the onboard) 1. There should be an option in BIOS to disable onboard (forcing it to use the main video card) 2. Pressing FN + F7 on desktop should allow your friend to switch between graphics cards. 3. Your friend is using the power save option in power management settings. (check settings and change to high performance) From what I remember from my previous Alienware, Device Manager did not show both video cards, only the one enabled.

Having becoming hooked on the game post makarov, and spawning with no weapon, I have gone from dying constantly to foraging and being able to kit up fairly consistantly. It was steep learning curve, but like all skills, it needs to be learned from experience, and not through dumping numbers in a stat. Since the last update, however, the zombies seem more alert, more aggressive, and far more easy to agro. My survival rate has started dropping again. I'm all for a crowbar.

US330 Around 5.30pm (GMT) (I need to speak to my clan mates to get a more exact time) A player called PartiZan logged into the lobby. From a clan mate watching the lobby, he seemed to be jumping from the lobby into the game and back out again into the lobby. A group of us were repairing a vehicle at Green Mountain. While 4 of us remained with the vehicle, the others were out foraging for vehicle parts. We were camped around the compound and the main gate which was the only way in, was closed. I was positioned in the radio tower entrance. One of our number was afk and in the lobby ready to spawn into Green Mountain if needed. I heard silenced gunfire from the forest and bullet impacts hitting the wall beside me. It wasn't directed at zombies as we had cleared them out. I also don't know if the gunfire was directed at me and he was trying to wall shot me, but it seemed that way. I alerted the others. Like a scene from xmen, PartiZan teleported through the closed gate and killed one of my mates, who managed to hit him twice before dying. He then disappeared before the other could shoot at him. He then reappeared behind my second colleague, and wounded him causing him to pass out. My colleague shouted out his location and I moved out of the tower. The player then disappeared again in my friends view, and I was killed from behind. Our fourth colleague logged back in and spotted PartiZan looting our corpses. He fired a full clip into him at close range and got blood markers, but PartiZan stood up unhurt, turned around and DCed. He then left the lobby. It is not my server, and I'm not an admin, I have no evidence other than my word and 4 other witnesses. Sorry I can't provide more info. Edit: PartiZan was the only other player on the server with us at the time of the incident. (Before anyone suggests it was a squad action)

New cheater on the server this morning. US330. 6.45am (GMT) Player using a tank and possible map hack to locate players before killing them.

They've been removed from youtube already ... that was fast!
