You can't, nobody is going to get banned for finding/using glitched/bugged ammo. What you can do is upvote the issue on the bugtracker and/or add repro steps so the dev team are aware and can implement a fix. http://feedback.dayzgame.com/view.php?id=9968

GameHack #38 is not an indication someone is hacking in DayZ, it means they have CheatEngine running (which may have nothing to do with DayZ) that's why it's a kick. If he was using it to hack in DayZ then he will likely be banned by VAC or BE in the next ban wave.

They can't spawn items to my knowledge, what they can do however is move any items within the network bubble range to their location.

Hopefully sub-private hives are implemented soon.

Wait for private hives to be implemented. Surely you can see how having private servers on a persistent public hive is ridiculous and open to abuse?

It is against the rules. http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/158966-dayz-standalone-server-hosting-rules-server-reporting/ The DayZRP server (which I believe you are talking about) does not appear to have a whitelist in place currently as I can join it with no issues. See existing thread. http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/184533-how-can-i-fing-my-guid-sa/

Public-hive server admins need less control IMO, it's become a joke how many servers are disregarding the rules and relying on GSP's to enforce them clearly doesn't work. Once private servers are implemented, admins can be given more control and frankly do what they want as their actions will not affect the public hive. The current system is a disaster though, all public-hive servers should have been run entirely by BIS to begin with.

They will have their server reported if they do so. Doesn't appear to be implemented though as I can join it with no issues. http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/158966-dayz-standalone-server-hosting-rules-server-reporting/

No you don't need the ArmA mod to play standalone, you just buy DayZ on steam. http://store.steampowered.com/app/221100/

This one

I hope it's the MP5

Hello, this is a known issue and a fix is on its way. There are several workarounds you can use while we work on resolving this issue. You can use the few seconds you have before the "You are dead" screen appears to slowly move towards the coast each time, until you are finally out of the water. Because the core of the issue is the fact that your character is actually not dead (despite the "You are dead" screen) you can simply wait until your character dies of starvation. Once you are actually dead, the respawn button will become available again. Another workaround reported by the community is the following: 1) Rename your character and restart the game 2) Log in to a server 3) When you get the "You are dead" or "You are unconscious" screen, open the pause menu and respawn 4) The timer will start counting down from 30 seconds 5) During this 30 second countdown quickly switch servers You can always change the beta preference in Steam to play on a different database. The stable and experimental versions of the game each use a different database, therefore if you are experiencing this issue on stable, you will be able to play on experimental. To change the beta preferences, please do the following: 1. Right-click DayZ in the Steam library 2. Click properties 3. Switch to the "Betas" tab 4. Change the preference 5. Close the window 6. Wait for DayZ to update We realize that this problem is very frustrating and I assure you that we are working hard on a solution that will free the characters of all players affected by it.

Needs to be added before helicopters are implemented, how else will we shoot them down? :)

This isn't the formal roadmap, that still isn't finished. The reason for that is because they had to make significant changes to it as a result of the games success (allowing them more resources than originally planned) as well as issues being discovered that required them to change their plans to fix them. This has been spoken about before.

If you don't know the host, just BCC all five of them in the email.

I know Vilas, it's a much larger issue with the DayZ modding community as a whole which is why I am very pessimistic of what will happen to DayZ once modding is allowed in the future. I appreciate all the work you have put into the ArmA community over many years but when you make a deal with the devil and end up getting burned while Origins make substantial money as a result of yours and others work, there's some great irony in that. It was discussed in your own topic back in October.http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/150471-announcement-about-usage-of-my-addons-in-dayz-mods-i-do-not-allow-and-do-not-want-my-addons-in-dayz-mods/

No offense but GTXGaming have had affiliate information on their website for as long as I can remember. Here is a post I made on Reddit 8 months ago. http://www.reddit.com/r/dayz/comments/1j569o/analysis_dayz_origins_and_the_massive_problems_it/cbb7uj6 I have no idea how people involved with Origins development could be ignorant about this. Also, others on here made you well aware of the lack of integrity of the Origins team back in October when you announced only they had permission to use your content in return for money. King*unt is laughing all the way to the bank.

I'm struggling to understand how this could possibly come as a surprise to anyone that has followed Origins for any length of time, this isn't an isolated case, the developers are well known to be greedy scumbags. I don't really have much sympathy for GTXGaming either who had an exclusive deal with King*unt for the last year or more. I'd suggest getting your refund from GTXGaming and moving on. I doubt the DayZ devs are going to get involved now when they haven't in the past.

Shadows also have a significant impact on performance for many people, a better idea would to make it a server side setting and have this filterable in the browser.

Nope. All servers are updated when a patch is deployed. Disregard that, didn't realise this was in the mod section. Yes you can play previous versions of the mod, pretty sure DayZCommander has a dropdown with previous versions listed to download. I'm not sure how popular they are though.

I hope the community comes up with some amazing mod ideas but my gut feeling is it's primarily going to result in most people playing dumbed down versions of the game where they spawn with end game weapons, vehicles and bases, at least initially. I just hope servers running mods are listed separately (under a different tab) in the server browser so it isn't a huge mess trying to find actual DayZ servers. Left4Dead as an example:

Character data, location etc is persistent across all servers on the same hive. If you want you can switch between regular and hardcore servers and you will have two separate characters.

Ermm yes, that's pretty much what sub-private hives are. Sub private hives have zero access to the database, or the server files.

It will never really, 100% stop - but they come, and they get banned, and the cycle repeats. BE banned about 800 last week.
