Fraggle (DayZ)

Oh, don't get me wrong, I think most of the big game dev companies are bastards.

Then I'll burn his house down.

People are expressing legitimate concerns here and it's up to the admin to answer them or not as with any other thread on this forum raising concerns about admin abuse.

Likewise *hugz*

Rockets already clearly stated that he hates micro-transactions.

Have a look on the website in my sig for specifics. To sum it up BB is a gaming community, mainly focused around DayZ. There's AUS, UK, and US servers. TBH I haven't played in a while so you'll have to ask someone else for the details of the settings on each server. A few of us mods either admin, moderate or help with the tech stuff over there so we like to think that reassures players that the admin positions won't be abused. Like I say, I've not visited in a while too busy :( )but the servers are great and the community is awesome, loads of friendly guys and gals willing to help you out whenever you need it and some badass bandits too. Go to the address in my sig and have a look around the forums for more info.

Read the devblogs for info. There will be many clothing options for you.

Stick one on his chin for me.

Inception. He must pay for his crimes. Update: He can usually be found roaming Chernarus slaying noobs. You'll find him on the BB servers, happy hunting.

It surprises me there's much debate to be had here. OP's friend should have done some research before turning his hacks on, I can't see it any other way TBH.

Not all clans are strict at all. There's many that just play for fun, look through the recruitment area, only a few have very strict rules.

I would ban him for being a blatant hacker but TBH I'm looking forward to his next post.

Exactly, as far as I can see, although a good idea this doesn't prevent "ghosting" which can actually be one of the main issues when using connected public servers although the relocation part would go some way towards preventing people getting an advantage by doing that.

It'll never be something that's included within DayZ itself. DayZ is driven by the players so any groups/clans ect. will be set up by the players in the future, the SA will allow for far more customisation so clans could possibly develop a "looK" if they wanted but again that'd be entirely for them to do. Leaving it to the players yields far more interesting results than giving them limited options.

I'd prefer something far simpler like a cool-down too. Maybe for every time you change servers the cool-down time get's longer meaning it really wouldn't be worth the bother. It's a really well written suggestion but for me the simpler more elegant solutions are always the way forward. The devs are aware of the issue though so I'm sure they have something up their sleeve. Edit - It sounds harsh but games can't be designed around people with unstable connections, that's for you to sort out, not the devs.

What you're describing sounds like clans unless I'm missing something? There's many clans in DayZ, some large, some small but most have their own rules that they stick by. You should have a look through the clan recruitment section of you're interested. As an example: TMW was one of the early clans set up by Dr Wastleland and they are by far the largest. They are medics and respond to calls for help from injured players via these forums and their own.

He's more likely preparing for PAX East (they're flying out tomorrow) right now but I get your point.

I agree but there's no getting away from the fact that the multi-million dollar hacking industry pushes the prices up further, that's just a fact.

Lol, yeh, he seems to have started making posts calling out BE, all I see is a butthurt hacker. This is especially ironic considering he tried to give others advice on bypassing bans here:

Please don't start hijacking others threads. We have told you what you need to to regarding your global ban, this is an admin ban, please read the actual topic before posting more nonsense.

Wow, Mr Sausage, you've been busy. Nice one.

Maybe your key got stolen trying do download something dodgy, either way we can't help you.

There's gameplay elements there but it really is for testing purposes. It get's patched/updated several time a day while they implement/test different things so it's very playable but usually something or other is disabled whilst they focus on something else.

I tried to speak to someone in Cherno when I was a fresh spawn and he told me to "F**K OFF!". I followed him all the way to Berizino watching him looting and so on (I picked up and Enfield on the way), he was being very careful so it took ages, at least an hour or so. I waited for him to loot the hospital and the military camp and and then killed him in cold blood and took all of his gear. I really wish he'd have known it was me that finished him though.

Well, I've tried to follow the thread but I'm still confused so please humor me. You said in your first post the that the server was a private one with BE disabled, I get that. I still don't know if it was a server that anyone was allowed to join or not? It sounds like it was but I'm not sure.
