Bugga. It was all for the beans.

Totally get what you mean. I was more talking about the dayz forum communities. Apart from hackers I haven't really had many issues with players in game. Still can't beat the mod for the gut wrenching feeling you get when you encounter a hostile player.

I am Sorry. I will hit my head against the wall 10 times to make up for my failure and think twice before ranting again. But I do wish you would be more constructive in your feedback. :D

Hard to believe aye... and to think we paid for this game.... *waits for it*

Heres a good example of another post from another thread which is yet another prime example of what is wrong with this community. As the ]edited out[ Gaming Server Technician I would like to let you all know that ]edited out[ does not and will not condone hacking on any of our servers. All of our gear has been legitimately obtained from raiding bases on not only our servers but many others. Yes, we are in possession of "hacked" weapons, but none of the ]edited out[ Members nor any of the people that we play with have hacked. We are strongly against any and all forms of hacking and we strongly support the DayZ community ban list and BattlEye. Possessing the weapons is not cheating and is not against any rules.

its not going to stop the cheaters - no delusions there! Its just going to make it harder. Fewer cheaters = good in my books.

This is one of many problems with the DayZ community. Its a weapon which has been hacked in. Its not meant to be in the game. But I didnt do it so its ok. Destroy the gun. It will make the world a better place and the game a funner experience for all. Its like saying... Duplicating my character is not against the rules. So im going to create spare night vision, gps, guns, ammo, food, tents for all my friends and clan members (im not saying you do this) but its not against the rules and not giving anyone an unfair advantage. So why not?

This post is part speculation, part troll. Im guessing there are going to be a number of disagreements. But... eh. I love DayZ - played religiously for awhile now. Died from hackers and enjoyed the whole experience as much as the next guy / girl. There are a couple of trends that I notice with the forums which just... annoy me. The idea that: Its not against the rules, so I can use / do it. Good examples being using hacked in weapons which they find... AS50's with thermal scopes as an example. Yes, its not against the rules. But your as bad as the hackers - and I mean this for weapons which you know are hacked in, not the ones that you cant tell (eg M4 silenced). Theres a post and video in the new players section which shows a player with the AS50 TS, Not going to name names but the owner posts a post saying... I didn't spawn it, I found it. Then dupped it for my friends. Its not against the rules and I can't be banned so its ok! *face palm* I'm not even going to go into why this is ruining dayz for everyone. It should be obvious. The idea that admins are out to get you. We run our own server after getting into a situation where we believed an admin abused power (by turning the veteran server to recruit so could find his lost truck). I look at it this way though... If every server that a player complained for admin abuse was blacklisted. There would be no more official hive servers. No more hive servers means you are restricted to private hives which can be turned off / banned for whatever reason. Generally admins are not out to get you, and if you do suspect foul play.... lets not start a jihad to get that server blacklisted. Just move on to another server. Or, better yet... get some friends together and hire your own server and become a role model admin yourself. That would solve more issues than creating post after post to get a server banned. (note, we haven't had any forum posts demanding blacklisting yet. Knock on wood!) Well thats my rant. Yup. Done. All gone. End of the day everyone seems to have forgotten this is an Alpha. Who cares about hackers and admin abuse - yes it sucks. But everything will be better with the stand alone which should fix pretty much all these issues. (esp hackers) Think.. all your tents, hele's, trucks, cars, hacked in weapons, dupped weapons, zomibie kills, player kills, GPS, night-vision, radios will all disappear when the game does come out, or even when the stand alone goes Beta - which makes all these items worthless. so why sweat the small things?

We have this issue on our server. Clan members started fainting whenever we joined our server for 4-6 mins even when not in shock and with full blood. Couldn't find what caused it. No issues when joining other servers. Fix's include. Restart the server. If you can't do this. Then find a place to hide your stuff. Kill yourself on the problem server. Then respawn. Pick up your stuff and it shouldn't do it anymore. If I was to put a bet on why this is happening... I think it is something becoming corrupted with the whole shock mechanic. I dont know why it only happens on one server though. I also suspect that it may be something related to the wide spread duplicating which seems to go on (it actually makes our server lag and struggle for some strange reason- constant yellow chain act) note - you wont believe the amount of duplicated bodys we find ever day on our server - ruining Dayz I recn.

Find Mountain Dew. Duplicate player with mountain dew. Create forum post looking for weapons and range finders ect. Win? I hope not.

Heres a good video for you in regards to the DMR. Skip to 8.52.

Name one server that has been blacklisted. And no need to copy and paste the rules - I know them.

Its because there are now 3 (or 4?) maps. So the population which was only on one map has split onto the new maps.

Get DayzCommander. Non-official hive servers will have a cloud with a X in it. (hover your mouse over it and it will tell you if its connected to the hive or not.)

Try to find a "new" server. I know this is hard. We started a new server for the clan. Put vehicle spawns to maximum (30 I believe) Its refreshing finding vehicles and repairing them rather than combing the West and North forest for them. Still havn't found that darn Hele. I'll PM you the sever - dont really want to post the name on the forum.
