crockett (DayZ)

I had the one from the airfield after they did the vehicle reset & also had 1 of the two ATV's that were at the spawn up on the hill to the west of Berezino. Someone else got the other ATV, as when I 1st checked there were two up there but when I came back with the parts to fix one of them the 2nd was gone. Sadly I was only able to place both of them in a very "temp" not so great location as it was getting close to me having to go to work. To make things worse it was pitch black and I couldn't see anything while taking the ATV back.. Honestly the ATV was my primary focus as it's much easier to hide and easier for a solo guy to hold on to. The Uaz was just extra fluff for as long as I could hold on to it. Unfortunately due to having to go to work and the server being pitch black in US TZ when I was trying to hide them I just had to leave them the best place I could find. Funny enough both were still there when I was able to log back in to do some actual play time 3 days later, but the ATV had been moved a bit til it ran out of gas. Sadly I never managed to get them moved as Trig caught me as I was just starting to move the Uaz & killed me then blew it up and some unknown villain swiped the ATV. I really just want to find a damn dirt bike.. I could care less about cars & atv's.. just need a dirt bike. Anyway you guys are semi safe from me as I've been focusing more on setting up my camp on the white list server but I'll still hop over and play on the #2 if it's slow on #1. :D

4chan kiddies have no attention span, don't mind them..Probably the same types that dupe every thing they find in game instead of actually playing the game.

Yea, you hit me like 4 times inside the truck.. only option I had was to try to get out and shoot you, but when I ejected I fell over & died. That bus was kinda like a local resupply depot you shouldn't have blown it up.. People put stuff in it and I take it out.. lol.

I gave you my beans, because you actually sole my beans.. >:( I was the guy in the Uaz. and of course had a bad day.. Oddly enough I had left that Uaz there for 3 days and no one found it because it was dark as hell when I had to park it and I worked the 3 days prior and didn't have time to play so it just sat therefor anyone to find. (of course no one finds it until I show up) Funny enough I also lost my ATV.. that was parked a bit further away when you killed me I had just found my ATV prior to this because I left it low on fuel & who ever took it ran out of gas..I already knew of the bus close by and ran over there to steal a full jerry can but also found the m14 but there was no ammo for it. I swiped the gun, some cammo, had a few steaks then grabbed the jerry can and headed off to retrieve my ATV. Along the way I stopped by the Uaz and decided to move it to a different location I picked out on the way from the bus.. that is where you caught me getting stuck on the hill.. Of course I respawned in Cherno so there was no getting back to my dead body anytime soon.. I proceeded to find a Ghillie suit in the church right off the bat and the best gun I could dig up was a Winchester 1866. I did a mad dash for Elektro this is with like 20+ people on the server so what can go wrong with a Ghillie suit and a Winchester.. <_< I could hear gunfire as I entered town, managed to avoid some guy in the firehouse by the power plant, where I found a M1014 that I traded the Winchester for.. (really I couldn't even find a Lee Enfield) So I hung out at the firehouse tower for a short time hoping I could kill someone with a gun as CQC is the best chance I have with the shotgun. No one shows up but some new spawn with no gun that I wounded & let get away. I end up over at the school house and oh my luck is getting better I find a Lee Endfield so I ditch the shotgun (only had 2 rounds left) and head upstairs as I hear a sniper rifle & full auto assault rifle close by.. (I assumed at the store) I go into one of the little rooms in the schoolhouse to wait things out and try to figure out who/what is close to me. Next thing I know some dude with a sniper rifle runs into the room & we circle each other shooting off rounds in a little 5x8 room till one of us got hit... (why didn't I keep the shotgun I was thinking) Of course the one getting hit was me and I was knocked out by the single hit.. The guy bandages me as I'm bleeding out and with 900 or so blood left, he sits there as I'm passed out and drags my body around a bit..Im' thinking great, he's gonna save me and give me the blood he took from my backpack.. Nope of course not.. he killed me soon as I woke up & I respawned up in Solnichny and decide to make a dash to see if my body was still hanging out or maybe if the ATV was still around as I knew the Uaz would be long gone.. Neither of course where there.. Be warned that Uaz has a history of getting it's owners killed. When I acquired it, I killed two guys in ghillies whom were trying to repair it.. (the guys that owned the bus you found) Anyway you can keep that Uaz Im' sure it will get you killed soon enough.. :P ( I will hunt for that m14 though as that was the first time I've come across one and I never even had a chance to fire it) The servers are from http://www.rinaun.com they are non hive and that's what kept me playing this game as the cheaters/dupers have pretty much ruined the official hive servers. They have 1 public server & 1 private/locked server that just requires that you sign up to their forums. They are very active about banning cheaters & people duping weapons so it's a good little private hive.

I voted yes assuming it's 100% sure the dead bodies are what is causing it. If it is indeed the cause I really don't see why they haven't done this already..

Maybe because not everyone knows all the items that are legit therefore they wouldn't know if it wasn't, when picking stuff up on the fly.. I picked up some satchel charges once and didn't know if they were legit or not til I checked the dayzdb site.

I think as others mentioned variety will be the key to success with bases. If I want a basic semi secure hideaway in a temporary home base it should be quick to set up and give me a place I can stash supplies for a short stay in an area. Like if I want to go sluming down to Cherno or Elektro.. I should be able to dig in a quick somewhat hidden place to stash my loots. On other hand if I want a more secure base out in the woods to hold my high end or the bulk of my supplies I should be able to build something like this as well as a solo player or even joint build with a friend or two and have it be very hard to find. Meanwhile if a larger group thinks they can hold down a fortress of some sort inside a town or on top of a mountain ect..ect then they should be-able to build something to their liking as well. The biggest key would be having a reasonable amount of associated risk to go with the location/size. If I had some apartment or building fortress inside a city or a large encampment for vehicles or a heli then it should be at much higher risk of being taken over or destroyed vs something in an out of the way place in the woods. The problem with the current set up with tents in DayZ is they are just too easy for others to find & steal/destroy all your stuff. It's almost like I have to start over every few days because someone found my tent and took everything or stole it.

I had a similar bug the other day.. I got hit by a sniper rifle and instantly went to the hourglass for my death but but because I didn't die instantly the guy sniping I assume thought I was still alive, so he kept shooting me. The problem was each time he shot me, my hourglass reset and it was already counting down painfully slow. After about 3 mins of this I finally just logged and logged again a few moments later & finally died so I could respawn.

I tried like hell to destroy tents that kept respawning but they kept coming back. Then someone found my camp site and they destroyed them and they never came back. I assume if another player destroys them they will stay gone.

Officially I'm one of the numbers that are no longer counted but I'm still playing. The hacking on the public servers pretty much did me in I was killed on my last 3 attempts by hackers and I always played in less populated servers. Added to this I almost never found anyone to kill because I was being forced to play on low populated servers yet my average life only lasted about 24hours. I'm still playing but I'm now playing on a private hive that I found and while it's not perfect it's 1000% better than the public servers as I've yet to run into a single hacker since making the switch and I'm actually playing on more populated servers. Dayz is actually fun when you don't get killed every survival attempt, by some script kiddie that knows exactly where you are on the map. I guess it helps to have active admins to ban hackers/dupers. Added bonus even though I'm playing on servers with more numbers than I did while played on the public Hive.. I've only died 2 times.. Once while trying to hunt out another player but he had back up I didn't know about and 2nd time was trying to get my stuff back after I died. :lol: Anyway Dayz is suddenly fun with out script kiddies & tents full of every gun in the game from dupers.

Much like the number of active players that keeps going up we also now see this fictitious number of hackers banned that goes up each day.. Yet do we really see any less hackers? I don't even try to play on larger serves because anytime I have it's been full of hackers. Now they are even hitting low populated servers.. I've died and had to start over 3 times in the last 2 days 2 times from hackers teleporting right on top of me and the 3rd due to a game glitch that sent me rocking into the air to my instant death just because I stepped on some rocks. Honestly after this, what is the point so I can get killed again by some pimple face 12 year old using a script? I'm playing on servers with only 4 to 8 players at max and I've been killed/lost all my stuff 2 times since yesterday by hackers and once by the glitch. What is the point of playing this game if it takes me hours to build up a decent kit only a hacker take it away in 2 seconds. I can deal with the glitch but the hacking is game breaker and ends the game for me. TBH I think the onlyt thing I will bother doing now is run around the starting beaches and axe people until that gets boring then I'm likely done if the hacking isn't stopped.. It's not worth spending time & effort actually playing the game because it takes zero effort & time for a script kiddies to kill you. Seriously if there were actually 12k players banned & losing their accounts we would see a decrease on the hacking not an increase. There would still be some, but overall it would become a lot more rare so I call BS on the fictitious number of so called hackers banned as I think it's just a PR line.

After watching a youtube video of one of the hacks that is out there it's no wonder half the people don't realize they got killed by a hacker. The guy is running around and can see every zombie, player, vehicle near him and has a distance to them.. Meaning all he has to do is run in general direction til he's close then shoot them. This pretty much explains how people can easily track you down when you are in middle of woods or while you are being careful. This wasn't even the same hack that I saw the guy using on ownedTV.. So who knows how many different ones are out there.. BTW..really rocket you did trademark the name dayz didn't yea? Please say yes... So how about sending a DMCA to the host/domain registrar and get the name pulled.. At the very least DMCA their ass because they are using screen shots & videos using game content.. At the very least you guys can get off your ass and get their domain removed. Anyway I'm done with this mod til they fix it if they can.. Shame because I pretty much wasted 30 bucks to buy Arma & the add on just to play this mod.

I think some of you might not realize when hacks are being used in this game. It's not that common or at least for me to be teleported to some thunder-dome or be dropped from the air somewhere. The most common usage is when "they" teleport to "your" location and kill you as a normal player would. Example the 1st death I had to a hacker yesterday I was running through open field outside Elektro.. It was pretty easy to see no one was anywhere near me, then bam all of a sudden guy is right on top of me with SD M4 or MP5. I went from having no one near me to having a guy right next to me out of the blue. Today I died the same way out in the woods in middle of nowhere.. I'm moving along then bam guy is right on top of me. Now some might assume this was normal PVP and think damn just unlucky but on 1st occasion I know there was no one else there and there was nowhere to hide in a open field. The 2nd maybe you might think I was in wrong spot at wrong time bu the dead give away was there were only 5 people on the server and all 5 had been killed with-in 3 to 4 mins.. I had a feeling it was a hacker and I should have logged but I didn't as I hoped for the best. I watched one of these script kiddies on his live stream on ownedTV and that was the exact tactic he was using. He was spawning "near" the other player to get the drop on them.. It wasn't every player teleported to an island and having cows dropping on our heads.. it was single guy teleporting across the map killing people. I'd be willing to be a lot of you have been killed like this and didn't realize they used a hack.

Yea this is another issue all together the fact that many are paying their hard earned cash to run servers for this game and are left with no ability to do anything about the hackers other than go to private hives which means their servers get blacklisted banned. Also to the guy above that thinks he saw 5 guys get banned. I hate to break it to you but that is just server admins banning whom ever and they can still usually fake their info and get back in.. Server admins don't dish out battle eye bans so those 5 guys you saw get banned Vladimir were likely not banned on all servers.

Yesterday, I found a M16A2 M203 at N/W runway then found a wrecked chopper & looted a M107 + 1 clip (first time finding both). Decided to go set up my tent so I could get some PVP action.. While searching for a spot to set up my tent, I stepped on a rock formation & my char abruptly goes flying into the air and instantly dies. I respawn at Chero and start getting some basic supplies for a quick run to N/W to get my stuff back & I happen across a Dirt Bike. It was in working condition but needed hull repairs so I got side tracked from going to N/W to fix the bike. I ended up fixing it then stashing it just out side Elektro as I wanted to try & find a better backpack. I got what I needed was running out of the city when a hacker teleported on top of me and killed me.. Ended up logging for the day, but logged back in that server & the Bike was where I left it, so I kited out with basic set up and headed north.. Managed to loot a AKM & M9 and have decent amount of supplies set up in a tent. Found a few other tents with no good loot, (seem to be tents of guys that actually "play" the game not hack with duped shit) then found a S1203 Van in the woods that needed engine parts. Seems a lot like every-time I play TBH.. I'm always just getting situated and then blam.. I'm dead.. So I still have the dirt bike (which is awesome for solo play), have a nice camp spot now I'm just waiting to have a stupid death to finish off the run.. See my end game is dying horribly after I get a decent kit set up.

I decided to play on US311 last night as the server I had been playing on was being pretty damn laggy, I needed to build up a char & this severer had a good ping for me. I was half way to N/W airfield when I joined this sever, so I continued my journey getting my self kited out pretty well. (my best kit to date to be exact) I noticed something odd, that this server was set to reboot every 4.5 hours and while I was at N/W airfield there was an obvious dupper tent set up with not much of anything good but a crap-load of AKM mags..I continued on my way and as luck would have it I managed to step on a rock and apparently break my neck dying instantly.. (yey real life-like random events in Dayz >:( ) Ok so I now have to start over & spawn near Cherno.. first thing I see is pretty much every military spawn point as well as the store have wire strung all over them as well as sandbag walls.. I manage to get around a few and get some needed things and along the way I find a Dirt Bike that runs but needs a little work on the hull. I scavenge around a bit find a toolbox & the needed parts as well as a few jerry cans that I fill up. I decide maybe Elekro is better option as someone had obviously spent far too much time spreading out wire & sandbags all over Cherno. I stash my bike in the woods and head down into Elektro..get a few needed med supplies and just looking for a tent at this point. Much the same as Cherno, this city has also come under the attack 12 year old boys with too much time on their hands. The store in Elektro must of had literally 50 bails of wire just strung every possible direction. Making it impossible to even move inside the store if you removed the ones blocking the entrance. I had to remove 10 bails of wire just so I could walk around the main store front area and I couldn't even attempt to move into the back stock rooms. (they have strung wire not only to block the entrances but all over the inside of the buildings so you can not move around) I was like ok.. well I got just about everything I needed this server is lame but "hey" I have a dirt bike so lets go make best use of it, so I start running back out of Elektro only to have a script kiddie tele-port on top of me and kill me. (perfect ending to a really shit server) It would be one thing if these guys had went around collected the needed supplies to place the bails of wires/sandbags by collecting the items. It would be lame to do it non the less, but hey at least they would have had to spend some time to do it. Not these guys however as their server is set up specifically just to dupe items with 4.5 hour server reboots and each store/firehouse had duping tents set up that they obviously used to get so much wire/sandbags. Anyway I figured I'd give fair warning to people to avoid this server as it's not worth any effort of actually playing on, other than going in & harassing them. Also is there anywhere to report these kind of servers that are obviously set up just to dupe items, as no legit server reboots every 4 hours.. This is the 2nd server I've come across that reboots every 4 hours for nothing other than obviously duping items. These servers should be banned from the hives IMHO..

Yea but how often do you find M14's outside of guys duping them? I've been playing 2 weeks now and I've yet to find one..

My PC seems to run dayz just fine most of the time, then out of the blue my FPS will drop to something like 10-15 making it unplayable in any real sense. Seems to be nothing in general that triggers it and I get no spike in memory or CPU usage. I just get crappy FPS randomly then after a min or two it's gone.. Many times I end up with holes in the map as sections of ground disappear and so on.. I've tried changing various video options but nothing seems to fix this.. Anyone else getting this?

Is there anything I can do to stop tents from re-spawning after each server reboot? I found a decent spot for a camp and tested a few locations for my tent at this camp to make sure it was well hidden. After deciding on the final location I was happy. Well that is until the server rebooted and each of the locations I tested spawned a zombie tent. I've tried saving them & packing them, I've tried not saving and packing.. I've tried destroying them..No matter what they always come back.. I feel like I buried my cat at the pet sematary and it keeps coming back to haunt me.

Well seems there is some way to make them go away as all mine have vanished along with all the stuff I had in them.. :| So on plus side my zombie tents went away but the draw back is so did one I was using..

Already a post about this guy as well as a few vids of him.. http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/65044-best-hacker-of-all-time-scariest-moment-ever/#entry622332 He's pretty damn awesome for a hacker if you ask me.. I vote they keep him and let him do what he does once they fix the hacks.

This is pretty awesome.. they should fix the hacks but let this guy stay..

I'm pretty sure you simply just have to save it each time you remove something.

I blame Dick Cheney.. The Republicans ruined the economy and started too many wars.. now we have zombies running everywhere. Also the op is a raving lunatic & liklely foams at the mouth every time he see's Obama on TV. oh.. wait.. now I know where the Zombies came from...ok it is the Democrats fault.. All the built up hate from the right wing has turned them into brain dead morons that wonder the streets looking for beans.. It's all Obama's fault after all..

I was trying for the umpteenth time to make a run through the big cities to get my basic supplies in order to set up a base camp, to make my deaths a bit easier. Well as usual I end up pushing it a bit too far trying to get enough med supplies, food, drinks ect and end up just about dead. I was at the point that I kept passing out quite a lot and I know there is no way I can get my blood built back up from canned foods. Added to my problems it's pitch black out side and I can't see shit. I do the only option I have and set up my tent in best location I could find in a pocket of woods outside Cherno while in the dark/passing out, so I stuff all my goods in it. Of course I soon die trying to get into the city because I keep passing out.. After a lot of struggling to get back to my tent (with-out a map) and picking up more goods along the way, I find my way there and out of pure dumb luck, it appears I managed to pop up my tent about 10 yards away from someone else's stash. I ended up finding some Russian truck that was packed full of guns (10-12 Guns everything from sniper to assault rifles & a Uzi) plus a decent amount of supplies. I of course stole it and took it for a long joy ride (it was full of gas) and I found a bit better place to stash it further up north. It's pretty nice to find a instant base camp on wheels.. Added bonuses I killed a pig & a cow along the way to my new camp, so now I have plenty of food to boot. The server was US 1325 (Ranger Squad's) just figured I'd let the guys that lost it, know it's in the hands of a noob and I'll probably get killed with all your stuff.
