Fraggle (DayZ)

Sausageking is unrealistic.

They're just waiting for something decent to come along, nothing to worry about. We shall welcome them into the light with open arms and watch the marvel on their faces as it dawns on them that they have in fact been playing a potato for the last 6 months.

You should read the thread again. We all acknowledged that false positives are possible but very rare. In the the cases where that has happened BE have reversed the ban making this whole topic a tad redundant.

Hackers often claim they were banned for no reason in a naive attempt to get us to lift their bans, which we have no power over. Get the game, enjoy it and don't hack and you'll have no issues at all. Have fun.

Do a double BG check on this guy plus an anal cavity search before you let him in. Although he may enjoy it.

Funfact: I can do wheelies in a wheelchair.

Have you tried pushing a wheelchair through field? I have and it sucks. It'd be quicker to roll on your side or wait for continental drift to take you to your location. As for crutches, I'd prefer makeshift splints which I have a hunch they will include in the SA as a craftable item.

TBH the Z's in the mod are always going to be buggy because of the nature of trying to mod Arma to do something it's not supposed to do. Annoying but true. It's the same for melee combat, these things can only really be tackled properly by having access to the engine itself rather than trying to bend it to their will, that's why they moved on to the SA so quickly, it got to the point that instead of adding the fun stuff all they were doing was constant bug-fixing which usually turned up more bugs and so on. That's why I chuckle when people say that the mod using the Arma 3 engine will trump the SA when in actual fact all it will do is open a whole new world of new bug's whilst looking prettier. Regarding your idea, I like it.

People are always shocked when they're banned, also, it can take quite a while to get a response from BE due to the sheer amount of hackers they ban on a weekly basis. Also, as mentioned earlier in the thread he may have inadvertently installed malware on his machine and had his key stolen. Of course, he could just be a script kiddie too.

Cool, a win indeed :/

You seem to still be ignoring the fact that your key may have been stolen. I didn't accuse you of hacking, in fact I really don't think you've knowingly done anything wrong. I'm basing my confidence on having spent hundreds of hours looking at ban appeals. You also still seem to be ignoring the fact that this has nothing to do with the DayZ team, as I suggested you should post on the BIS forums as they are the guy's you've paid money to for a complete game which you still own and have full access to. As I said, in the very rare cases of false positives BE lift the bans, that doesn't sound like a conspiracy to take your money to me, with that in mind I'm not sure what else there is to discuss? If your holding back payment for the game then surely you've taken any rights you did have away and the burden on them to now provide any proof or reverse your ban is now pointless as you won't have paid for the game and should now remove it from you HD, or am I missing something?

I've got a tenner saying they provide proof of a legit ban.

Just so you know you're not the first person that has thought to look deeper into it. I'm pretty sure they have their bases covered so claiming fraud and other things based on armchair law seems a bit much when as of this moment you simply have to wait for them to contact you. They deal with thousands of bans a week so patience is key. As I already said, they haven't taken part of a product from you, it's still right there on your HD. What they have done is stopped you playing on severs with BE enabled. As I also said, your key may not have been banned, it may have been stolen which of course is your own fault. In the very rare case of false positives they will in fact simply un-ban you so I'm sure one way or another it'll get sorted, hopefully without you incurring massive legal costs. Anyway, much like you I only understand the very basics of law so good luck chasing it up.

They probably are forced by law if required and I'm sure they'd be happy to oblige too. Anyway, we can all take our tin hats off now and wait for BE to reply to the OP.

He also said "where rocking-horse people eat marshmallow pies". Food for thought indeed.

It's also worth noting that they might not have banned your key. You may have had your key swapped out by malware that you inadvertently downloaded meaning that you now have a banned key and someone else is enjoying your key. It sucks but if that's the case then that is your fault.

You still have the full game and all of it's content for single player. You can probably still play on servers without BE enabled too. What they have done is restricted you from playing on servers with BE enabled, they haven't taken anything from you.

Global bans are nothing to do with server admins. They have no control or say in any bans issued by Battleye. BE looks for and detects scripts.

The mods have to be enabled server side (AFAIK) so just running them yourself won't change anything apart from stopping you joining servers. (I'm happy to stand corrected on this which is highly likely)

You don;t get globally banned for chatting about hacking, that's simply not how it works.

Your ping will be fine on the US server. I've played there before with no issues at all, unless anythings changed (I haven't played for ages) you will have a new character though.

You paid for Arma so any "rights" you may have should maybe be addressed on the BIS forums where they offer support for their game. This is really nothing to do with DayZ which is just one of the many free mods for Arma. Hacking is not always the reason for a ban, your key may have been stolen but that too is your responsibility. In the EXTRMELY rare case that the ban is unjustified then BE are the only people that can sort that out for you.

Or maybe just stick to the devs giving us info. That'd be nice. I see where you're coming from but I don't want to hear an interview or the other guy's opinions on it (no offence Rhino), it's WAY too early for that, their time will come when the game is in a playable state. I'd just like nice juicy nuggets of info and some screenshots. Also, I'm at the point where I don't really want to know too much more TBH so I hope the devs (I know they are) keep some surprises up their sleeve, too much info is a bad thing. If people keep crying for more and more info then let them cry I say.

Too much win.

Fetal position. They could spoon each other for warmth.
