    You were expelled from the game

    "I am writing in their native language that is the problem I have with the server throws a belgium. We played it with friends but after rebooting the server I'm a friend of mine got such a ban. On the other servers we go but it comes to belgium 1 then kick us again. I do not want to lose all the things that I have there." Google translate is not perfect, but it just helped to clarify what I was already decently sure he was trying to convey in his posts. Sounds like they all keep getting kicked from the server all of a sudden after having been regulars on the server and obtaining vehicles/tents there since they are reluctant to leave. Might be abuse when they found out that him/his friends had vehicles, a ping limit might have been implemented and they are being kicked by it but not understanding, and so on. Really I am not sure, but since nobody else bothered to I figured I would post the google translated results of what he typed to see if it helped anyone. Just seems like another abuse report thread where nothing will get done because it is hard to get good proof or anything done for things like this.

    stupid wire and tank traps

    If you find a tool box you can take them down and use them yourself. Wire can be very useful in instances besides trolling, as well. For instance these guys heard reports of a truck spotted near them heading toward Elektro, so they set up three rows of wire traps to wreck its front tires while they destroyed the people inside from the bushes on the sides of the road and with a sniper in the hills. EDIT::: Also if you do it right you can climb over the wire with "V" as you would any fence. It is just a bit harder and can not be done if the wire is uphill from you or raised somehow, such as on a doorstep.

    A question, concerning computer requirements.

    From what I have seen it is mostly dependent on the server for me. Not really sure what is effecting it, but my fps drastically depends on the server. AMD Phenom II x6 1100T Black 3.3GHz (6 cores) 16GB DDR3 1333MHz Dual (crossfire) AMD HD Radeon 6870s (2GB versions) On some servers I can get up to around 70 fps with everything maxed out that can be turned up with the exception of the 3d resolution. It looks quite nice if you double the 3d resolution but I can't even get 5 fps on the main menu. However on some servers I struggle to get 10fps even if I turn every single setting to the absolute lowest. Some servers just lag you to hell for some reason. EDIT::: God damn it. I forgot to check the OP date D= I hate being part of necroing. I just saw the dates on the posts for today after reading all of the posts.....
  4. Server: Seattle 34 Time: Approx 4:00PM Eastern Stand Time So we were contacted by someone that we used to play with but parted ways with for various reasons. We have at least touched every gun except for the AT-4 (M136) and the SVD Dragonuv. He mentioned that he had an SVD and a truck so we set up a meeting point and planned to get the gun and get out. Well we sent someone down and he came "floating" toward the meeting spot. Apparently he travels in an invisible truck that allows him to turn invisible as well if he wants, causing it to appear as if he teleports when he gets out. The vehicle did not flatten terrain or make any noise, and normal players such as myself could walk right through the vehicle when I tried. When he got out of the "truck" we were understandably confused but when he spawned a weapon crate thats when we decided this was not going to work out and I opened fraps. The man we had forward gathered information and eventually I moved in, which is where the video begins. You can clearly hear him talking about all of the cheating and how it works a bit, as well as he posted a youtube video about how it is done with links to everything needed which I can private message staff if they want it. Name plates are turned off, yes, but if you watch to the end when we decide we have heard enough we have our snipers take him out and you can see his name in chat right as I turn back when I know it is safe to inspect the body. We banned and kicked him from the server but he kept reconnecting even though we banned him, so we just kicked him a few times until it appeared he stopped. However on inspection of the GUIDs and IPs one of them matched his and we banned that profile as well but cannot find a way to perma ban him from the server. I will post all of his known information below except for IP which I will PM to staff if they request it. Names: .ZerteC and Mitchell DayZ GUID: 10880838 Battleeye GUID: 98555a800622b5e19691f65d2523e30c As said above, the IP and video guide to how he cheated will only be PMd to staff if they request it and not openly posted. Also the video is currently uploading, my upload speed sadly is crap. I will edit this post with the video link when it is fully uploaded which will be sometime within the hour. EDIT::: Image of him and one of our men in another of our men's scope. He is the one in the Ghille suit. Not really proof since there are no names, but I figured I would include everything that we have. http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/559819354492754969/0398E1C56FAC4C36E079A0C7E005BFA68479BE25/ Here is an image of his information when he logged in as Mitchell. Again not really straight proof but just more stuff that we have about him. http://gyazo.com/1ab41321b2bc52896e919ffbf4f9783a EDIT:::: Here is the link to the video.

    Freeside Trading Co.

    Thanks. I will need to wait until more of my group is online to make sure the rest are fine with the idea but so far most are, and we have a bit of a surplus from crashed helicopters. We just take the jeep out and drive along a path we have marked out and loot em as we find em. Load it into the jeep, and dump it in our tents. Anyway yea, so I can get you the gear tonight maybe or if not then tomorrow sometime hopefully. Whenever you have the people on to take all of it and we have the people on to take it all to wherever meeting spot is decided on.

    Freeside Trading Co.

    Well everything sounds quite nice and I would love to see something like this actually in the game. Even if it is attacked by bandits on a regular basis, as I am sure it will be, once it is fully started up it will surely be able to rally enough defenders to keep it running and provide lots of fun and excitement to many people. As such, I would love to donate some weapons to the group for guard use. I can give you a few M249 SAWs, a few M14s, some M107s, and maybe a bit more. I would love to see this flourish and with some proper guns hopefully the guards can defend everyone. If you guys would like the weapons have someone message me on the forums and we can set up a spot to meet.
  7. We have spent the last several days scouring the entire map with our group of four to ten (depends on the day/time) people after our vehicles, hidden in several locations, decided to disappear after a sever restart. We have found useless boats, a broken ATV in the woods, and one crappy jeep where everything goes to orange if you hit one fence. We used to have nearly every vehicle and none of them have respawned at the normal spots nor any other spot. We have scoured every city/town/outpost, every small barn, little shack in the woods, mountain tops, along the road sides, across fields, essentially we have searched nearly the entire map and nothing seems to have respawned of the vehicles that we previously had. The jeep was of a type that we had never seen before and ATVs are common enough that one we didn't find was fine, but everything we have previously found did not respawn. Also, it was exactly seven days after the patch came out that makes vehicles respawn if not driven for too long despite us driving them all multiple times a day.

    Where do you find the 870 MCS Shotgun?

    It is very common at the starry sobor military tents, although that is also quite a dangerous area. But really you will have the best chance of finding it there due to the large number of tents since each one has a chance to spawn it. Some tents have several chances to spawn it even, when they have multiple loot spawns in one tent.

    Freeside Trading Co.

    I have read the first post and the newest few pages as well as checked out the website, but I do not see anything about whether or not the service is currently open to use. I made an account on the forum to see if there were any sections blocked to guests, but I did not see anything. Can I make threads in the trading section? Is the service at a usable point where trades can be safely conducted already? I would very much like to come see the base / use the service / possibly help out on occasion if everything is in working order. I have a few things that I would really like to try to get from someone in the community if anyone has them.
  10. When I asked him if he had been doing this for a while, to see if it was linked to a problem where every vehicle randomly disappeared and never respawned, he said that he had started the night before which would coincide with the night you posted the link. So he very well might have gotten it from your post. Medium length post short, don't post exploits/cheats/hacks/anything bad on open forums. PM them or post in the proper section if there is one, as most forums with a proper section make the threads invisible to everyone except the poster and staff.

    That thing you can't find

    Me and my ground have touched every piece of equipment that can be found in the entire mod except for four things. What we have not been able to find in our now slightly more than two months of playing is the SVD which we want terribly, the radio which we would enjoy to find just to be able to say we have had every single tool, the pipe bomb/c4/satchel charge, and the AT-4/M136 single use anti-tank rocket launcher. We have found every other gun and currently have several M249s, MK48s, M107s, everything. We have used every vehicle including the helicopter (only for a few minutes). We actually had most of the vehicles until a server error wiped every vehicle off of the map and a week later they have not respawned. Anyway that god damn M136, SVD, and C4 need to be found. If anyone has those and is willing to trade (yes I know trades go terrible in this game but I am willing to try) any other item in the game except for vehicles and mountain dew as we do not currently have any. NVGs, rangefinders, GPSs, M107s, MK48s with belts, L85A2, AS50, I can get you anything for those items.

    FPS Helper

    To really increase FPS, lower the 3d resolution to the lowest. Open your video settings and 3d resolution is right there in the basic settings on the bottom right. It's like changing your resolution for the game really low without actually changing your resolution. It just changes the resolution of all of the textures really low instead. EDIT:::

    probable hackers on seattle 34

    Here is the quick video that I got where you can see a crashed Apache helicopter where the working ones flew away from. I was unfortunately not quick enough in starting fraps to catch footage of those, but decided to get this one at least to show that the server was locked for a legitimate reason for about 20 minutes. The legitimate reason, by the way, being to keep it locked for a bit so that the hackers get bored and go to another server. I was going to drive in the direction they flew as judging by the speed and direction I saw them on the map before everyone was kicked I knew where it would have landed, however soon after everyone was kicked the server began lagging so terribly it crashed. Since then, it has continued lagging and crashing every time we turn it on since the hackers were kicked. Either them doing something, or a large coincidence since the server has had no problems all month. Anyway here ya go, enjoy.

    A Shout Out to the Ladies

    I have seen only two female characters since they came out that weren't part of my group. Most of us play as females simply for that reason. We do not need to freak out as much when we see someone who we are not 100% sure is us because it very likely is, since both of those female characters I saw were back when it first came out. The lack of them makes groups convenient. Also, when you encounter someone up close while having a female skin it seems to slow down a lot of peoples reactions and they are less likely to shoot me before I can shoot them. Besides that, I simply enjoy playing as a female in video games immensely more than playing as a male. I just wish there was some character customization D=.
  15. Well, BEFORE the hive crashed an hour ago and I lost my car full of loot? I am still quite well geared on my person, but my poor car of swag D=. On me: M249 SAW with 4 belts Revolver with 5 things of ammo Ghille Suit NVGs Alice Pack Basic Supplies (Compass, map, food, water, medical, and so on) In my poor yellow hatchback that I may or may not be able to retrieve when the hive comes back online: DMR with 5 mags 5 spare M249 belts FN FAL ANPVS4 with 5 mags M1014 with some pellets 12 cooked meat, water, wood, spare medical supplies, chem lights, 2 jerry cans and so on. Bizon SD with a single mag Anything else was random stuff.

    Going back in time

    Me and several others had a similar but not identical problem to this. We did not warp back to the location that we lost the debug monitor because we never had one in the first place. If you log into a server while running a different client version everything that you described happens plus you lose all sound unless given a blood transfusion. You mention losing the debug monitor and experiencing these issues mid game play, which is weird, but I will ask anyway. Are you absolutely sure that you are only accessing servers that you have the correct DayZ client for? The correct beta build for?

    Carebear Detection Alarm! *Alarm Sounds*

    The game is easy enough for new players. This is NOT a game by itself, but a MOD. That means you should learn to play the game first. If everyone plays basic Arma II for a few days first that will eliminate a good half of the problems that all new players have. Once they know the game itself and what to do, they can attempt to play the mod. If they are not smart enough to stay out of sight of zombies while avoiding players, flares, gun shots, and so on, then they will quickly learn. If they do not, then they do not possess sufficient IQ or likely age to play. Gathering loot itself is easy enough if they have played Arma II and know how the game works. Meaning they can effectively sneak and know how to equip and use guns. Loot obviously spawns in buildings, again requiring a minimum IQ, and when you find a building you loot it. Guns and basic gear is not very hard to find if you can play the game and sneak.

    Music in cars?

    I know that other mods allow this, but doubt it would ever be implemented until DayZ is pretty much finished and is in the polishing up phase. Would be low on my DayZ to do list for sure. On a side note, some dude flew around Cherno in a helicopter playing this: mostly 22 seconds to 50 seconds really loud and with a lot of bass while his side gunners shot up all of the zombies.

    Eternal Death

    A game such as this is DESIGNED to kill you. There is no survival forever unless you log off. You will encounter a random clan of players in the woods on a server with 5 other people, all of them being the bandits you just ran into. You will get trapped in a building with 70 zombies outside and run out of ammo fighting them off, being eaten alive. You will get Arma'd (falling off a ladder, dieing under a fence, logging back in out at sea, and so on). You will be shot within 30 seconds of spawning by "that guy" that sits in the lighthouse by Elektro sniping new spawns. You will die from that rock over there trying to get a higher vantage point, because it has been proven that rocks will eat you alive and it has happened to me. You will die just because it is Arma 2 and this is DayZ. Some people die multiple times within an hour, specifically new players. Now imagine if those new players only had 1 life each day because of the lock out, maybe 2 or 3 if they do nothing else like me. The learning curve is extreme and with the bugs it continues to grow and change. Dozens of deaths are a natural part of learning in this game and new and old players alike will not be able to learn properly if they only get to play for 10 minutes a day. Imagine waiting alllllllllll day to play some DayZ now that you are alive again. You log in and your in the ocean 999KM out to sea. There goes your night, and the game is thrown out. This post seems to summarize up why this is the worst possible idea I have heard yet for this game, meaning yes, it is even worse than the ideas that pvp is taken out entirely. That is how bad this idea is.

    Any bandits enjoy CQC?

    I have sniped of course, like every good bandit, but I do prefer sneaking around the city myself searching for my prey rather than camping on a building or in the woods. Listening for the shots or the panicking sound in a building, following the zombie trails from a street over, reading side chat. Stalking and taking them out with my winchester is so much more entertaining.

    The new "Hotfix" just ruined my game.

    Well everyone is entitled to his opinion. I' date='for instance, love far more "finding" of stuff then to live in paranoia and fear of loosing it afterwards. [/quote'] The times when I get fully geared up and manage to stay with it for a while is when the game starts to become boring for me. I become paranoid and afraid of dieing and the game becomes less fun. Once I die, the fun of surviving Cherno for some basic gear and fighting my way back out toward Starry with a map and an "almost accurate" heading without a compass is what I enjoy. The joy of finding my precious DMR again, or anther pair of NVGs/GPS/range finder that were all so useful. The fun is not dependent on the gear, rather it depends on the lack of it. Also as to the topic at hand, shit happens. I was EATEN BY A ROCK with a coyote pack, m4a1 (or a2, dunno) cco sd with plenty of ammo, GPS, and all of the other basic goodies. If you want to avoid man eating rocks, I do not suggest ever standing on a rock. I have found several around the map and have taken to steering clear of rocks in general. Also if you hit one on an ATV you launch 90 meters into the air while doing multiple back flips.
  22. wolfgang784

    Imagine the horror....

    It's nearly as fun when player locations are simply reset and every single person spawns on the beach in full gear. The fights are all that more amazing when you spawn and see the shore lit up by fully automatic guns and grenades. EDIT: ^^ That has happened like 4 times now by the way. No full wipes yet, but location resets.

    How to right a flipped vehicle?

    If it were a car, then using another vehicle to flip it would have a chance of working. With an ATV however, tapping it lightly with a car several times will cause it to violently explode like a nice big box of grenades. If you flip an ATV and it does not force you off of it, then you can possibly right it by turning the wheels and giving it gas the right way. Also fun fact: The more jerry cans in a vehicles inventory when it explodes, the more explosions! No jerry cans means it explodes once, one jerry can means it explodes twice, and so on. We have tested this repeatedly (we find a lot of vehicles =P) and it seems to be the case.
