    Are you saying it's delayed? ;)

    Cheaters pool

    I thought this was stupid when it was first announced, it just doesn't work. Cheaters don't want to play with other cheaters, if they did they would be playing on servers with BattlEye, Punkbuster, VAC etc disabled in the first place and wouldn't be a problem for everyone else. They will just buy new keys and continue cheating anyway so might as well ban them entirely. What every game needs: - Designed to be as secured/locked down as possible, with as many things handled server side as is feasible. - A decent third party anti-cheat service (VAC, PB, BE etc, it's debatable which one is the best since everyone always complains about whatever is chosen anyway, maybe a combination like RO2 used? - Statistical analysis/logging of player data and automatically red flagging unusual ones for further investigation/bans. - Good admin tools (Nothing beats good admins for tackling cheaters, IMO the benefits far outweigh the risk of abusive admins, although I do acknowledge DayZ is rather unique with its hive structure. In most FPS games spectator mode, demo recording etc should be standard) - Some way to report cheaters effectively (I've seen so many games try this but always fail, personally I would even pay a subscription for a reporting system that works, where players are investigated and banned if found to be cheating in a timely manner, this is probably a huge logistics issue but there is nothing more frustrating then a blatant cheater with 1000+ reports made on them yet they remain unbanned for months) - A wall of shame for known/banned cheaters (mainly so I can poke fun at them, pbbans is great for this)
  3. The servers you are playing on need to update their script restrictions.

    Ive been banned by a hacker

    Hackers can't globally ban you. However you just posted your CD key to the world so your account is as good as gone now.

    Mass Global Ban Hack?

    There were people posting fake ban messages for a while. "You have been marked for a Global Ban." etc, they can't actually ban you though.

    l85 loot table in namalsk?

    ^Pretty much, I don't know if it's included by default on Namalsk but since it's a private hive they may have added it anyway. Also, the L85 was only removed from loot tables, it wasn't deleted. The existing ones are still in circulation..

    Will DayZ Mod work with ARMA2 Free?

    Well no, you can get ArmA II for free but you need both ArmA II and Arma II:Operation Arrowhead to play DayZ.

    Music player?

    What if we could find a PC and play DayZ from within DayZ.

    L85 Should it stay or go

    Poll is Closed. Thread Locked * [REMOVED] - BAF_L85A2_RIS_CWS (Based on poll) * BAF_L85A2_RIS_CWS replaced with BAF_L85A2_RIS_Holo. (HeliCrash) https://github.com/R...on/Changelog.md
  11. According to this graph it's coming out January 10th.
  12. Graveyard for misleading title? I'm sure that guy will upload the video soon.
  13. OK, I've only seen it on private hives so assumed they added it, haven't seen any patch notes about it so must be a bug.

    Quick Question about An-2

    Different ones were removed. Read through the patch notes thread. http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/107617-build-1744-rolling-update/page__st__60#entry1015699
  15. Which version of Taviana?
  16. You were on a private hive, which has added it.
  17. I know the hearing impaired option won't be in the initial release, not sure about a colour blind mode. They are both a priority though. http://www.reddit.co...al_dots/c78j325

    Cars not saving

    They have been saving automatically for months, they just removed the save menu because it did nothing.
  19. Are there more hackers on public hives or private? Yes. White-listed Private Hive > Private Hive > Public Hive

    Gear across servers?

    Essentially admins have more control over private hives, since they have access to the hive (database) - Can password/whitelist the server - Can add/remove weapons, spawns, vehicles, add in additional items, new types of crash sites, items, buildings etc - Can run additional maps - Can run 24 hour daylight servers - If a hacker nukes the server they can restore it to a previous point. (Many servers do 15 min backups) - Can add additional anti-cheat features. - Players can't ghost (Spot a player on top of a building, change servers, log back in behind that player and kill them) Downside is all your progress is locked to that server, - If the server is empty or decides to stop hosting you can't just join another and continue, you will have to start from scratch. - Private admins don't need to follow the pubic server rules, while the majority of the time this isn't a problem, some will have abusive admins and your only recourse is to play elsewhere. - Private servers vary significantly and are often entirely different experiences to vanilla/public servers, some might have new weapons, vehicles, buildings, some might not allow PvP, some might be 24 hour daylight, others might be exactly the same as vanilla servers. It all depends where you call home.
