violation of alt-f4 protection. Its to stop people from almost dying to enemy fire, logging out, flanking them on another server, then relogging on original server for the kill. It effectively makes you unconscious when u are behind them.

God mode is only applicable to every body part except face, best to remember that next time.

nice avatar.

Isn't it easy to program server side hack detection, not to ban or prevent, but to stop the hive from saving? Detection the same way bazillion of achievements work in every game ever created? "Player X teleported on server more than 50 Meters in more than 1/10 of a second, therefor do not save state for the next 15 seconds on hive" This would put an end to all hackers that spawn someone in the air once 5 second timeout delay is added and stop all kill coral hacks. It wont get rid of classic aimbot hackers or one by one hackers but it will get rid of hackers with abilities to do things I have never seen possible in any other game (you can teleport other players in counter-strike no matter what kind of hack you have). "Player has earned "turn into an animal" achievement.... hive please dont save player state for next 60 seconds...."

This man is a troll. Creator of the 1 makarov shot thread. Everything he types is a lie. Think of the character from "Catch me if you can".

The server-hive relationship in regard to saving character gear after a hack should be rudimentary to enforce. If a player teleports or is turned into an animal the information is not saved after that. Point blank period. Would work the same way achievements are recognized in every other game released in the last 10 years.

happens randomly on server restart. You're lucky you're on coast, could be worst and you could be out in that field which used to be the case 10 days ago.

Actually sir, you don't know anything, a private hive isn't connected to the public hive. Pretty sad to see someone talk out of their butt and miss the most basic of points even a child can see.

We are a long way off Private Servers, I imagine the process to get an official hive would be tedious. I wouldn't mind however paying 99 cent a month to join a private hive, as long as they have more than one server incase server #1 is at capacity. I'm sure there would need to be other checks, otherwise hackers would just pay for the 99 cent to grief everyone.

LoL you do realize there aren't "holes" for hackers to find in this game but OPEN FLOOD GATES.

What he is saying is that an Admin could never abuse their power in this fashion.... they could only be hackers.

No point in banning for items, they get wiped on log in-out.

Rocket has changed his views on Private Hives, he wants them in to combat hackers. Discuss.

yea its basically every server but its kindergarden to program the game to where it wouldn't save your character in the hive under those circumstances.... there are millions of achievements in every game, the server would have 3 "achievements" that when activated would disallow any saving to hive for next 60 seconds. FIrst "achievement" from ground level to 20 meters or more in the air in 1/10 second = no save for next 60 seconds Second "achievement" ported from current location to 100 meter or more away in 1/10 second = no save for next 60 seconds Third "achievement" turn into any animal = no save for next 60 seconds on hive. Thank me later.

Yea you find me 10 players that enjoyed Diablo 3 and I'll show you 100 that hate it, same with Madden and Battlefield 3.

Then you better enjoy all the non players after 3 days of playing. You sound like you know how to ruin a game, you work for Blizzard or EA?

So write the code :)

At the VERY least we should have a 5 second wait timer before the characters entity is logged out even if someone ctrl-alt-deletes and ends the process of DayZ. I don't think there is a single MMO that doesn't have this feature, the only thing tho is that hackers would have a lot more leeway when it comes to 100 feet in the air script killing everyone in server, as in it wont be possible to save yourself via logging out before you hit the ground.

And Kickstarter is a service. There is no kickbacks that the financier see either. If Rocket goes the way of getting a publisher he has to pay them a percentage of what he makes where as a kickstarter for dayz, the people who back the project get no more than what they pay for no matter if the game goes on to sell 12 million copies or 1 million copies.. Its win-win.

replace with a new item called splint, you can only use it once to repair a broken leg. thats once per life. So to avoid people substituing new players for walking hospitols but to give new players something a litte bit more helpful considering how gay breaking a leg is.

Huh? Deer stands don't move? Crashed Helicopters DONT MOVE EITHER.

got dayz and arma 2 installed finally, updated arma 2 with the beta which install guide told me to do. but i just found out that the latest beta came out today.... Am i screwed?

I was under the impression i would have to reinstall arma 2 to revert to an older patch and that by having the newer patch I would desync from servers running the old as none of the servers had the new patch. but nevermind i guess.
