Well none the less your a higher power. And I do understand that ban immunity but it would be nice maybe BE should contact him Via skype and hire him and his Legion of HOODS. But who knows, it is alpha and they could possibly fix the issue. 99.9% doubtful but lets let them give it a go. I think hiring a few handful of HOODS would be well worth keeping your community intact. --------------------------- Lets weigh it out. Let the hackers roam free (losing countless players and community members by the minute. Or pay a little extra and hire some HOODS to secure the community and assist which will in turn bring in that Money.

You have my Beans sir. I like how even the Admins are being proactive with this. This fella should get ban immunity lol. If only there were a thing. Perhaps an hourly wage to server hop and scare off the hackers?? hah But on a real note, This guy is doing a good thing for our community, I hope there is more like him. A Legion of Robin Hoods!

Not you, your server.

here is the answer! http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/67388-robin-hood-the-anti-hacker-hacker/ he will save you.

Well you sir are just extremely narrow minded. Its actually sad. How do you kill a hacker? Yes thats right with a Hacker, there are lots of people in the world that get paid to hack for the greater good to secure certain things. To protect. I bet you this guy plays normal just like the rest of us. But a super hero on the inside of those civilian clothes. Try to embrace the help and realize that there can be good when it comes to hacking. Im not saying EVERYONE GO BUY HACKS AND HELP EACHOTHER. But simply he is fighting fire with fire. And if he gets banned thats a sad day. I hope he doesnt because last night I had the most fun I ever had in Dayz everyone was loving the server.

I almost forgot, he gave me his skype name for those of you that need it take it. Have a hacker in your server. message him if hes on. He can help. Skype name: zillikinix Please don't abuse to get free stuff and I think this guy is a lot smarter then that.

Everyone PLEASE post a comment on this topic so we can make it a "HOT" topic so all the new people like myself can read this. Also if you have any other great links or valuable information please PM me or post it here and I will add it onto this first post. I APPRECIATE ALL THE GREAT FEEDBACK- I have taken the best answers and put them here in the first post so you dont have to scroll down! I will continue to update! This top portion stolen by Prominentalex- thank you! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Starting out! I recommend taking a tutorial that comes with the game to understand the basics of gear, and controls, etc. Map Skills You're alone on the coast. You have no sense of direction, and you dont know where you are. You may or may not know the geography of Chernarus. Yes, it tells you where you spawn, but sometimes it's not always a city. First establish direction. The clouds in Chernarus always flow east. No need for a compass unless its foggy or night time. If you ever get lost always remember that. Now that we've established your direction, you have to locate yourself. The best map I've found, & if there is better, please suggest it, is - http://dayzdb.com/map#4.081.127 Or if it confuses you, you can use a simple map Use landmarks, the roads, and railroads to find out where you are. If the clouds are flowing towards the coast, you know you are located on the East Side of Chernarus. If the clouds are going down the coast, you know you are located somewhere South of Chernarus. Now that you know which side, look around for islands, towers, etc to establish where you are. Now that you know where you are, you need to start getting some supplies. You'll hear a lot about 'Cherno' Chernogorsk & 'Elektro' Elektrozadodsk. Trust me, you'll visit these places eventually. These are the two main cities on Chernarus. They have the most common loot, the most zombie & human traffic, and are very dangerous. Once you start progressing in the game, you can find items such as maps, compasses, watches, GPS's etc. These will help you navigate to your destination, but items like the GPS are rare. Looting & Zombies There are plenty of other towns along the coast where you will spawn, you can find out more information about them in the DayZ Wiki link I'll leave below. Now you finally located a town or city and now you want to find food & water, weapons & equipment. However, as you walk up to a building you notice you cannot open it, that's right not every building is accessible. Here are some of the popular buildings you can collect from - You can see the other buildings in my Photobucket album link. I got all the pictures from the DayZ Wiki. By now you should have encountered a zombie or two. You are probably running for you life, and thankfully, the zombies can never catch you if you continue running. However you can't just run around the map with zombies chasing you. There are different ways to avoid them, and lose them. Well, first off if you have a weapon, and the situation is appropriate, you can shoot them. Try for headshots to conserve ammo. You can also run into a building, wait for them to come in, and leave the building safely. Zombies can't run inside! To avoid them pay attention to your visibility and noise levels - Your blood (Health) and zombie kill count, including player kill count will also be showed on your HUD. Your Hunger, thirst and your temperature is displayed. Zombies are a fair threat. Once you learn how to avoid them & hide from them with more experience your greater threat will be other players. Now back to looting, be sure to not attract any attention towards yourself and only take what you need at the time, or later down the road. If it is daytime, it's a much smart decision taking an extra can of soda then road flares. Learn to conserve your space. When you leave either the big cities, or the little towns and go into the wilderness, you don't want to end up starving to death. ---------------------------------- There are multiple Tiers of loot. For example, you won't find a M16 in a Barn because a barn only spawns specific weapons, ammo and gear. Higher tier places such as Airport Hangars, Barracks and Fire stations like the last picture above will post Military Grade weapons. You can seperate loot into 4 catagories. Farm - Includes rifles, shotguns, shotgun ammo. Hunting knives, etc. Typical woodsy loot. Compound bows, arrows, axes. Military - Night Vision Goggles, typical sniper rifles, GPS, G17's upgrades backpacks. Industrial - A lot of tools, including toolbox's, wiring fences, hatchets, car parts such as wheels and gasoline. Civilian - Medical supplies, lots of food and drinks, some shotguns & rifles. Pistols including Makarov, Revolver & M1911. Here is a VERY good weapon chart a fellow DayZ Member (Izviral) made - https://docs.google....9fV1lYOFE#gid=0 ---------------------------------- Running out of space in your backpack? Found another backpack, and want to know if it is better? Here is the hierarchy Czech Vest Pouch - 6 Slots - Civillian Loot Coyote Patrol Pack - 8 Slots (The Starter Backpack) - Civillian Assault Pack - 12 Slots - Military Czech Backpack - 16 Slots - Civillian ALICE Backpack - 20 Slots - Civillian Coyote Backpack - 24 Slots - Military Misc. Tips - Hold the ALT Key to look around - Clouds always flow east - You can turn M1911 Ammo into .45 ACP and vice versa by right clicking it - When placing tents, and it doesn't fit, hit Pitch Tent again and move back using the 'S' key, and repeat. It almost always pitches the tent - The crosshair is slightly higher than where the bullet will hit. - Swimming will take away your backpack and you might lose some inventory. - Zombies can swim, climb ladders and go through doors. - Running for a while will make you thirstier quicker. - Zombies can't run indoors. - CTRL + M To bring up the GPS - If you have a rangefinder, drop your binoculars to use it and hit 'B' - You can change your characters Race/Face in the Player Profile option in the Main Menu. - You can throw cans to distract zombies, pick a can up and hit 'F' to cycle through firing options. Please, if you have anymore tips, let me know! I just wanted to start this thread, and I will be updating it heavily. I have a lot more info to talk about, videos, screenshots, charts, etc. It will help both survivors and bandits. I hope it'll be done sometime this week. I'll expand it with weapon reviews, popular bandit sniper nests, and plenty of links to help everyone else. Please leave feedback!

A:Yes 2)If no, how do I find the current server I was playing on to play my same character? A:I do not believe you can access your server history. But I could be incorrect. 3)How do I go in 3rd person mode (doesnt say in controls options) A:]Enter on numpad 4)How do I use hatchet that says (can only cut trees down) to attack zombies? is that even possible? (makes no sense why I cant use a tree cutting hatchet as a weapon) A:Rightclick on hatchet "Remove from toolbelt". The hatchet goes into primary slot, so remove your primary first. 5)Ive been almost walking for 1 hours through villages, how come pretty much EVERY door to a building is locked? A:Not every building is interactable. For a complete list see dayzdb.com/map 6) what are the odds of finding an open building? A:There are a number of buildings that are open, you will learn to recognize them soon enough. They always look the same. 7)Is there a way of determining which doors will open or are they normally already open? A:]Standard enter key, or scroll wheel open door. This will only work on interactable doors. 8)Best way to evade zombies/lose them? A:Crouch/Prone. If you already aggro'd some of them zig-zag up a hill or run through buildings (atm they are not able to run inside of buildings). Or run around a corner and lay down, they will lose you (most of the times). Or jsut shoot them 9)how do I use Microphone to people in my area? A:Switch to direct chat, and press and hold capslock (default) 10) can I holster my weapon so I don't keep throwing flares? A:Double tap Ctrl to lower your weapon, although i dont think it will stop you from throwing flares. 11) how come peek doesnt worrk in first person mode A]it does, but i believe you have to have a weapon first. 12) does Q and E make you look left and right in 3rd person mode (Numpad Enter)? A:]As in, peek around corners? Then yes. 13) if your completely lost in a forest how do I determine which way to go to get out? A:Use a watch or compass, or set a waypoint on your map, otherwise just take a guess. If you're new try to get a compass or watch before you head out. 14) do I have to reload everytime I want to swing with hatchet? A:[No, you have 99999 or so swings. 15) Where is an ideal place to find a map, compass, watch? A: Shops are a main area for maps compass' and too many watches. 16) How do I make my view turn 180, Left and right when in 3rd person mode while still looking straight? (saw on a video a guy was checking his surroundings just by turning his characters head.) A:The ALT key. Hold it down. You can do it while moving too, but NOT whilst also holding SHIFT to slow down. 17)How do you Pistol whip? A: NO 18)How do you jump? A:Aside from ejecting from a helicopter, vaulting off a cliff, walking off a building, standing near a high explosive or getting hit by a truck there is no way to get airborne. V(ault) will allow you to mantle low obstacles. Use caution though, as vaulting Concertina wire will sometimes result in broken legs. 19) I noticed V does something with my characters legs? hurtle or kick? A:It is how you jump over objects (barbwire,sandbags) 20) I found an animal, can I kill it and eat it? A: Cooking an animal is the most reliable way to survive in the wilderness, when couple with a canteen and a pond one never needs to enter the cities again. Kill the animal (either with a firearm or a hatchet), procure wood (using the context menu on the hatchet while standing next to a tree in a forest), build a campfire (by using the context menu on the matches), light the fire (by looking at the campfire and using it's context menu with the scroll wheel), and cook the meat (again using the context menu with the scroll wheel on the lit fire). Cooking meat will cook all meat in your immediate inventory (as in not in your backpack). Each meat allows the recovery of 800 blood, making it the next best thing to a bloodpack, killing cooking and eating a cow will allow the recovery of a total of 6400 blood (over half). Use caution however, as campfires attract all zombies within 300 meters and during the day the smoke can be seen by observant players; during the night the light from the fire can be seen from over a kilometer granted Line of sight. 21)I found a well, can I use to for water source? A:Yes but you need a canteen or empty water bottle. These can be procured most reliably in Residential and Farm areas. 22) can I fill up empty soda cans? A: Empty Soda Cans generate noise when thrown that zombies and jumpy players will investigate. Use this to your advantage as you see fit. 23) Can I use a lake or a stream to fill water? A:Ponds are a reliable water source, however most are not in heavily wooded areas that provide visible and protective cover, use caution and as always, move quickly and quietly. 24) what items are required to build a jeep/Bike/helicopter? Fuel Tank parts are required to repair a vehicles fuel tank, scrap metal to repair the hull, tires to repair the wheels, engine parts to repair the engine, and for helicopters only you need a main rotor assembly. The number vary from vehicle to vehicle, to check the condition enter the vehicle and check the top left GUI. Bars that are red mean parts that need to be replaced. These can all be found at medium and high value Industrial targets, of which there are large easily accessible clusters in both Cherno and Electro. You will also need jerry cans full of fuel to actually operate your vehicle. These function similarly to canteens but are filled at gas stations and tanker trailers. Once a vehicle is repaired it's wise to keep spare parts in the in vehicle container, to allow for emergency field repairs. 25)Can you hit with your barehands? No. 26)Can I start a fire with a Flare? No. Flares are useful for signaling and light generation, but they do not ignite flammable objects (likely due to engine limitations). 27)where can I get fire? Procure matches and a hatchet from a residential, industrial or farm target, both are relatively common. Proceed to a forest, approach a tree, right click the hatchet's context menu and click harvest wood. Then right click matches and select build campfire. Next aim at the campfire and use the scroll wheel on your mouse to select light fire from the campfire's context menu. You can also use campfires for storage, though you will lose anything in them should you light them. 28)can I shoot a jimmy can and create an explosion? No, also likely due to engine limitations. 29) can you swim?Can Zombies Swim? Yes to both, but zombies suffer pathfinding issues in water, so for new players it's a sound escape strategy to go for a swim. This can however lead to infection as your body temp drops, and with larger packs can lead to the loss of inventory in pack. 30) how do you change between chats? Voice and Typing. Caps lock to speak, / / ? key to use text. You don't need to switch between the two as they're keyed separately. 31) can you hold 2 primary weapons? what are the pros and cons? I will have more in future. Please no flaming, im just trying to get information like everyone else.,

YEs!!!! Yessss!!! fill my canteen with your tears!!!!!!!

No, but you can throw it!

Fear the [666] MooseKnuckle

Got any Beans Mr. Hacker?

Only a dumb ass little kid that googles ***s and downloads the first free hack they see is... well a fucking dumb ass little kid. imagine that. not to mention decides to pour his little heart out on the forum and actually thinks there is a possibility of him getting back into the game. You're an idiot. Youve been bann"t"

If you notice the map is alot bigger then they are currently letting us enjoy. Shows expansions- additional locations. an no its always fun! Hunt people, Track them, find their base. Search Destroy, see how long yo can hold down a grocery store or a church, build a helicopter, make a base, help other people, roam the woods discover locations. run around cherno firing your gun like a mad man and defend off the hordes of zombies with a hatchet. all are very fun things to do mainly the last one. Be a Douche bag and wire off the school and or hospital and set up shop and wait for people to try and get in a blow their fucking heads off!!! be creative.

I dont get it why you people insist on reporting hackers by their name. Player names can be changed in a matter of seconds. The only real way of them actually remotely making an effort at banning the person your crying about it by finding out their IP and proving its theirs in the video that you just happen to be making with your fraps. Sorry to say but intill they get some ACTUAL Anti-Hack program working seeing as battleeye is a piece of shit and couldnt block a pop up on google chrome, we are all pretty much fucked!!!! enjoy!

Meh/....

Its a nice gun, dont get caught going in close combat before using thermal...

I believe that location is on the corner of Fuck you and go find a map. (quote) compliments of Hang-Over. Love you!

You are your own admin on your own server. No proof- no ban, no admin , no ban. But please allow me to fill my canteen with your tears. Other suggestions?? ah yes FIND A NEW SERVER. rule #5 DONT GET ATTACHED TO YOUR SERVER rule 21#MAN UP rule#43 HACKERS RULE THE SERVERS(for now) FUCK YOU HACKERS!

yes you can, you can holster it.

10-4 Rubber ducky! quack quack!

Hacker.

If its not a gayz porno who wants to watch it! crap!

OMG a Mnt. DEW! Ill give you a tent! a FAL! NVG! a ghillie suit! a a free scholarship to the school of retards for thinking that a Mnt. Dew is worth anything, a nice backpack and a car!!! Fail. Bang bang.

Lets meet up ill slice your face off and wear it and enjoy both our loots!

WRONG WRONG and more WRONG. all you press is \ you will salute then put your weapon down in a neutral position. to fire it will require you to left click once putting it back in aggressive stance then again to fire. You're welcome.
