Not anymore, it stopped spawning a couple of patches ago. There's probably a couple legit ones left in the game, but 95%+ of them are scripted in.

Exactly. There's probably a large number of people who think my .50 to their face was senseless murder, as they posed no threat to me. They didn't know that they were across the street from my squadmate who is on their way back from a looting run with 7k blood and nothing but a hatchet and a backpack full of food and med supplies. Right now, I think the only problem with sniper rifles is the duping. An AS50 is a clear 100% upgrade from any other rifle in the game, which shouldn't matter because it's supposed to be incredibly rare. However, 90% of bandit squads I go up against have 1-2+ AS50s, and my own squad of 5 people has 2-3+ at any given time (all taken off other players). And once you have an AS50, you're supplied with infinite ammo off the dupers and scripters, so there's no reason to even have a backup sniper rifle like an M24 that has more common ammo. I think CZ550 spawn should be upped a bit, and military grade sniper rifles should be lowered a little, after duping is fixed, and ammo in general should be a lot more rare.

Zombies give a visual representation of where you are. It's going to attract players to you like a flare and you'll probably die. Pretty sure he means louder to players, not zombies.

It's not Rocket's code, it's BI's.

Server: US 760 Time: 5:00 AM PST (-8) Everyone on the server died, bodies were all hidden, 5ish minutes later everyone was teleported to the NWAF and shot at by an invisible person.

My talking shit? What? You couldn't ban me, but you could report me and I'd be investigated, but seeing as I play 100% legit, nothing negative would come of it. Now if you reported someone who actually DID spawn in the weapons, it would be traceable and that person could be banned. I'm not "moaning because I lost a scripted weapon", I'm reporting a cheater. If you'd notice, my original post says nothing about my gear or about me at all. Get outta here, kid.

As it is right now, DayZ is just a bunch of scripts running in an Arma 2 scenario. You're playing a game of Arma with zombies and loot. Arma is designed to be very trusting on the client side, and allows client side scripts by default. This is so that you can edit/create custom scenarios on the fly with minimal difficulty. Arma isn't really designed to be a join-a-random-server-and-deathmatch game, it's supposed to be you and a couple friends on a passworded server doing whatever. When you start joining public servers on a game that allows client-side scripts, you get rampant cheating. Rocket can't change this without changing the core game files, which he can't do just for DayZ because that would affect all of the regular Arma players. Once the game goes standalone, he can change whatever he wants in the Arma engine (such as making client side scripts untrusted by default) and it will only affect DayZ.

Battleye isn't the issue, Arma is. DayZ going standalone will SIGNIFICANTLY help the current script kiddie infestation.

Me and my partner make a great team, and my partner happens to be a girl, so players generally don't shoot her if she says anything over direct com. We abuse the FUCK out of this and it's led to multiple 3+ man squads being decimated by my AS50 while she's walking around with them, getting free gear, giving me intel while giving them "my location" and putting them into spots where I can easily put a .50 in their chest cavity. Probably the meanest thing I've done though is take out a player's legs near Stary, which put him unconscious, then walked up to him and took the morphine out of his backpack and left him there. Watched for a few minutes to make sure he didn't have any in his inventory before leaving him stranded there. Hope he had a nice crawl.

You got what you deserved. Stay away, imo.

You need at least a time (to check logs) and preferably picture or video proof. Download FRAPS, the free version lets you record up to 30s and take screenshots, both of which work as evidence.

Seems like OP is just really mad. Everyone's had troubles with cheaters, everyone knows it's an issue, we know it sucks, but nobody cares that you lost a bit of gear, I've lost WAY more than you to cheaters and I just record it best I can, report it, and move on. There's a difference between giving feedback and being a whiny little child. You're doing the latter.

Time: Around 1AM ish PST (-8) Server: US 1545 Description (TL;DR at the bottom): Edited to reflect new information (confirmed that all three had scripted weapons) Me and a friend were clearing Cherno of bandits from our vantage point on the sniper hill to the northwest. I noticed a player spawn on the tallest roof (the one with the little shack on top and the nameplate, we call it tower 1) with some kind of long rifle, he fired at the third member of our squad that was near the supermarket, so I took him out. His name was [Cherno PD]Roflknief Me and my friend were paid back with return sniper fire, and I died. My friend got away, but then someone teleported directly in front of him so he alt + F4'd (no idea on the name of this guy, and no footage of it as it didn't happen to me). At this point I started recording as much as I could (only have one HDD right now so FRAPS shits on my FPS had to turn it off a couple times) I respawned in Cherno, and died near the med tents to an AS50 shot while I was on my way back to my body, leading me to believe there was a guy on the hotel roof. I respawned in Prigorodky, and made my way back to my body. On the way back , I confirm that there's a player on the international hotel roof (the one you can't get on without a helicopter, and there was no helicopter active in the area, so he spawned up there). I got to my body on the NW sniper hill and got my AS50 back safely, then circled around Cherno to the west to try and take out the remaining two guys that shot at me and my friend. I killed one player named [Cherno PD]Oaksy on the second tallest building with the blue tanks on the roof (tower 2), then circled around and took out the last one on the hotel roof, who had an AS50 TWS (very prominent scope, can see it in the screenshots), his name was [Cherno PD]come@me. With all three dead, I ran into Cherno to gather my spoils. I get up to the second to top floor in tower 2, and notice a dead body. I loot it, and find it completely full of gear. M249 SAW + ammo, AS50 TWS + ammo, 2x NVG, rangefinder, every tool, etc. The body belonged to [Cherno PD]Roflknief (first guy I killed that was previously on top of tower 1). I quickly grab everything I can and log off before they come back. TL;DR: Killed a clan squad of three people that spawned on Cherno rooftops, all three of them had scripted in weapons (AS50 TWS). I'm just going to upload screenshots, but if footage is required I can put it all together tomorrow and upload it. Screenshots of me scoped in are to show that I killed them (to confirm names and such) and for proof that the guy on the hotel roof had an AS50 TWS, the scope is very prominent and easy to see. http://imgur.com/a/YzRKA Edit: I died and lost my stuff, so I went back on the server (it's one of my favorites), I heard flies in tower 2 as I was going past, and was like "wtf", so I went up and the bodies were still there. [Cherno PD]Oakly did have an AS50 TWS, so all three of these guys had scripted in weapons. No doubt in my mind that they're at least duping, most likely scripting. Uploaded screenshots of Oakly's loot too.

I didn't combat log? I killed them all, grabbed the loot and left. I wasn't in combat when I logged off.

I earned it by killing a player who had it. That isn't cheating. Anyone else could have killed the guy and taken the weapon, by chance it was me. It is not much (if any) better than the stock AS50 unless you're counter sniping in a forested/low visibility area. In an urban environment, where I was, I found the stock scope to be much more effective. The TWS sat in my backpack for most of the time I had it. And I've never seen an AS50 TWS before, despite killing many scripters. I've found tons of other scripted in weapons though (KSVK, silenced M4 M203, silenced PDW, etc.), so it would appear that it isn't "what all the hackers use because it's fucking awesome". If you want to de-spawn loot you earned, go ahead, but don't expect other players to do the same.

Big difference between having a weapon you obtained legitimately by killing another player, and instantly killing the entire server, hiding the bodies, then teleporting everyone somewhere and killing them again. I used the stock AS50 anyways, MUCH easier to tell where a bullet lands and gauge terrain, can't see much in the thermal scope. Just kept the TWS as backup in case we went to the NWAF or something.

I had already died. I was trying to get back to my body to see if my shit was there when I got teleported to NWAF, had nothing to lose so I tried to record the cheater but he had an invis script too. Got to my body and found out that the script also auto-hides all the bodies after killing everyone. Lost two AS50's, one of which had a thermal scope, like 14 AS50 mags (all taken off other players), and over 25 kills on that character. Sad days :(

If use a legit gun and kill a script kiddie, despite him having the advantage over me because of better gun he scripted in, I take it and use it. I earned it fair and square, anyone else is free to do the same.

And it also does so in DayZ... So...

How is the community worse than CoD? I haven't been called a faggot or had anyone make comments about my mother. All that's happened is I've been killed, in a game that features PvP. There's already a punishment for killing unarmed players - you give away your position for nothing. That isn't counting the potential guilt (depending on the person) for doing so. I feel bad for killing unarmed players, so I generally don't.

Was there a new moon like there currently is in DayZ? Once the moon cycles and half/full moon appears it'll be a lot brighter.

http://www.astro-observer.com/dark/img/large/usa_mex.jpg Unless you're in one of those pitch black areas, you suffer from light pollution. It can be, and is, as dark in real life as it is in DayZ. Seeing as Chernarus (and I'm guessing the rest of the country/area as well) has no electricity, I'd say there's next to no light pollution there. Just wait for the half/full moon to cycle, it'll get plenty bright then.

Happened around 3:25AM (PST -8) on server US #500 (hosted by FMFclandivision) I was sitting in the middle apartment near the hospital in Cherno, I heard gunshots fairly close by so I decided to stick around and see if the guy came to the hospital, which he did. He ran into the back apartment, when he came out I shot him in the leg with my Enfield, then once he hit the ground, in the head. He DC'd before the gunshot registered I guess because he didn't die, and his body disappeared. I checked the player list and saw he was still in the lobby, and hadn't DC'd from the server, so I waited around. After 5-10 minutes, he re-joined the game, and I turned on FRAPS to see if he would DC again (I'd rather catch a DCer than get the kill). I got footage of him re-joining (spawning in), hitting the ground unconscious (guess he was in shock when he DC'd), then DCing again a few seconds later. Footage:

Wanted proof of his DC, or to wait until he was conscious, to make him think he was safe and make him waste 2+ minutes unconscious so I could kill him as soon as he got up.

I thought it was against the rules/counted as an exploit and was a bannable offense. Yeah I regret not doing so, but now I have proof. And SAMSUNG's friend came to the apartments to save him I guess, caught SAMSUNG as he logged on and killed his friend and hit him, but he didn't die and DC'd again. I'm refreshing my DayZ Commander friendlist like a fiend, if he logs on, he's dead. Not to mention he's unconscious in the middle of the apartments, don't think he'll live even if I don't follow him around.
