ShigZ

I've been through this once. Took me a while, but I managed to scape the glitch. Stay moving, go prone, vaulting... one time your char will start moving out. Just keep going at same direction and you will be fine.

I though it only happened with my partners. lol They also usually say "I am near the ocean right now"

Every weekend the same thing. I survive all week, walking/driving all the map on servers 5+ players everyday. Comes weekend, BAM! Killed by script kiddies. Now, go and try to report them on the forum. What do you get? People laughing of your ruin. Asking for video proof, saying that otherwise it didn't happen. You know why? So they can laugh harder at your disgrace on youtube. I went through a lot of cheat report posts and all of them had people making jokes. Is that our community, really? Everybody is waiting for the stand alone to come and save us all from peril, like a divine intervention to free us from the glitches, sploits and "hackers". Despite of my huge hope in this game, I'm a bit skeptical about all these promises. Personally I believe the stand alone will have much of the problems we are having now because people who play DayZ don't take hacking seriously enough. This weekend I was playing with a group of people and all of them had hacked weapons. Not the usual ones, the ones that are not in the game, like the thermal scoped sniper rifles and such. I saw people asking favor from hackers and praising them by their awesomeness in spawning ammo crates and vehicles. Just to be killed the next moment by them. Maybe the game is too difficult to the average player. Maybe they are just bored with the lack of updates/new stuff. But nothing justify the silence of the good part of the community. I know there are real players out there, who plays it because it's a challenge. I've met many online several times. But they are slowly giving up and I can understand them. Look the case of the DayZ stars Frankie and Sacriel. They can't record a session without being interrupted by "hackers". I don't know if someone agrees with me, but we should take some action against this filth that took our game. I made a promise to myself to report all hacker activity I can, and I pretend to record it on video as well, despite of it being an optional piece of information. I encourage people to do the same. Battleye is not handling so many scripters, but we can help get to them by policing ourselves.

True. They are doing that because they're dickheads fucktards. Nothing to do with the game. Just to piss off people, like some people on the forum.

I've been practically living in Chernarus for a month now. My Steam counts over 100 hours of survival attempt time. That's almost 4h of play per day (and I work). I don't go out at weekends anymore, only surf of the internet for DayZ videos and news, I am barely sleeping... and when I do I dream with Z'ds. I spend all time planning my movements on Chernarus and I can't get enough of the game. I think I might be overdoing it... So, how do you guys deal with your DayZ addiction?

lol Sorry, English is not my native language. I meant "skeptical", I just wrote the word as in Portuguese.

Required: * Server this happened on. JP1 (geekhost.net) * Time that it happened including your timezone. 2AM (GMT+9 tokyo) * What happened during the incident. Two guillie-suit players teleporting all over the map and killing players with automated crossbows. They spoke english very well, despite of the fact they said to be japanese (I really doubt it). Respawned and killed several times, as they teleported to my spot. There were only we 3 by the end of the session. Here goes their names: -General Admiral Alladeen -Luke - the third player is me: ShigZ (me) The moment I got my fraps to record it, the server restarted and I lost them. They deserve a global ban for their stupidity. My char was completely geared and I was very far away from Electro and Cherno, alone in a small city.

You say you are a server admin. Are you telling me you don't have means to verify by yourself who killed all players in a session?

Happened with me once. I was driving my ATV, stopped by a gas station. Saved the vehicle (everytime I get out of it) and went for the gas tank. Back in less than a minute... the ATV was gone. It was 5m from me and disappeared. I don't know if it was a bug or some script kid, but I got really disappointed. My chars live long enough... at least until the weekends, when the servers get flooded with "hackers" that trash the game. After all we go through to get our stuff neat... I feel your pain. If I had the strength in me, I would wait until the next update or the stand alone. But I need my diary DayZ fix to survive.

I will laugh harder when you get your ass global banned too, hacker-lover. "Proof" is optional, as described in the guidelines. All the server admin have to do is check the log.

"Players" like you ruins the experience for everyone. Maybe you too enjoy some hacking. Now, if you don't have anything to add, go do your homework and leave the real players alone.

Try using DayZ Commander. It's a great launcher/updater/tracker for DayZ. Much better that Six Launcher.

^^^ this. You are at the borders of the map. If you don't have an in-game map, you would not be able to locate it on online maps (as dayzdb). Go southwest to find Gvozdno, following the road.

Did you update Arma 2 or Dayz between the sessions? It always happens to me after updating. :/

Really? How? I'm curious!

I think one of the greatest problem with vehicles are the spawn points. Everybody knows where to get that bike, that Ural truck, the cars, everything. I say vehicles spawn points should be random as with the heli crash sites. That would make it much more difficult and rewarding to EVERYBODY playing the game (except the hackers, of course). Also, vehicles not used (saved) within two days should just re-spawn.

Don't forget about the "Dog disappeared" and "Hackers took away my pup" threads as well. :D

Don't know if you already saw it, but here it goes. It looks awesome! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OtlHpR4M7Fs&feature=player_embedded#!

Since yesterday when I updated to 1.7.2.5, I am having some weird thinks going on. The most noticeable is the kill count. Whenever I log in it's reset to 0. Including the humanity. After the update I tried to reconnect to the server I was playing, which had a vehicle that I was about to hide. Since versions were different, I get the eternal loading screen and did force-quit. I tried then log into a updated server, but the moment I connected I spawned in the wildness and my character was dead. Strange because I could move freely and even took a screenshot. http://steamcommunity.com/id/shigues/screenshot/956140577740415154?tab=public I disconnected from the server and tried again. Now I was on the shore without nothing. Not even bandage nor flashlight. All gone, but my Coyote backpack, which is strange. Another weird thing was my kill count. It had all the previous life stats. Was I really dead? Since I got a nice "hero" outfit and wanted to see the changes in the game, I didn't mind very much about having all my gear lost. So I played until Cherno. Then I noticed that my kill counts were 0 again! I read on the forum that if you get killed by zombies and respawn, it does fix the problem. But I found a bus moments before suicide, and decided to try it too. Ended up I got killed by a hacker, who later took the bus (I really don't want to get into this subject). So, I got killed and respawn on the shore like everybody else. I have been alive since, but my stats are reseting like crazy. I don't know what is happening! Also, it seems I cannot save tents or vehicles, as they disappear from where I left them. If anyone can help, I will be very thankful!

Got a response from Dev Team: I guess we have to wait. But the stats are there. They are just not showing.

I was having the same problem as you. I did two things and so far so good. Don't know if will help you though. 1- make sure your Arma 2: OA, DayZ mod and Battleye files are updated. 2 - update your graphic board drive and (if it allows you to) change the settings for Arma 2 rendering (I changed the FFAX to driver-managed) Lastly, make sure you run the game on updated servers.

I read on another thread that this is a system created by Rocket to prevent server hoping. If you change servers too much, you got sent back to the shore as a punishment. But it seems it isn't working very well.

Same thing here. Is even worse on vehicles. Neither the itens nor the vehicle itself get saved. This sucks...
