Everytime i play on a full server i get spawned in the sea,or everybody gets spawned in the middle of nowhere and murdered. Even the server we used to travel around on has a frequent hacker visiting,spawning all the vehicles and raiding our tents. This is the only game where i have seen so much blatant cheating.

So, I used to play with a large group of 6 or 7 people, they were all people I've met in game/through the community and I had a lot of fun but they were mostly American so I'd have terrible ping. When my friend got the game we could choose servers close to us with good ping to play together, and that's just what we did. We joined SESUK1, after a few visits we decided to make it our home server which included setting up our camp. But, today... well it annoyed me. I was on the server earlier playing and getting back to my base, it was fun. I was trying to get on recently and I was constantly being kicked by "Vobla=)" No explanation to why he was kicking me but him and what I assume are 3 of his friends are playing the server... I have video's as evidence but I thought that this should be taken at face value and maybe an explanation could be in order so I don't feel as if some reset may have happened and they're gathering vehicles or something.

Yeah I came across a player sitting beside 2 vehicles both broken, in stary sobor, watched him for a while looked like his was assessing the damage. I walked up and said hello both in chat and on the keyboard, he simply ran behind one of the vehicles opposite me, i could tell he was going to shoot, so I ducked behind a nearby fence before he had a chance to open up, and i called friendly again, he charged me opened fire, and i returned one round. I was going to help him, now hes gone I have had mostly bad luck like this with other players they have all but 1 have shot on sight at me on numerous servers even if I call out to them first, I thought we could have had a cool 2 car convoy of some sort but I guess he wanted them both, sad really playing alone is not as fun. I have been playing for about 2 months.

The S1203 is fairly decent, and the UAZ is a slight sidegrade. Im happy enough with these, but then again, more vehicles are always welcome.

Thank you This is what i thought. Now I have to decide whether it is worth my time to report it. (I really should, But i just looked at the server reporting forums and it doesnt seem anything gets done.) The same admin once sent a message to my friend saying "that is a nice sniper spot you have got. I would move soon if i was you" This wasnt in direct chat tho. He also banned another friend of mine for a week for ALT-F4ing which i agree with. But within 20mins of my friend joining the server again a week after his ban was lifted he was shot. He immediately received a PM from the Admin saying welcome back. Ps hold on a moment are you saying that admins always know where the tents and vehicles are. Surely This is wide open for abuse. If you have a vehicle they want (eg Heli or uaz) they can just come and get it when you log off.

1. When spawning vehicles the server isnt even up at all. its a script i run that places em in the DB and then i start the server and it loads all in the DB. if vehicles are spawned when the server is running they arent gonna be logged in the DB, same with vehicles being added to the DB while the server is running, thoose wont be ingame before next restart. 2. I might have some logs that would be interesting to look at in this context. we can talk about that. 3. clueless really, i dont know if its even possible. I think i will get the PW back on, for now, untill we get a better solution guys. gonna edit it in the mainpost again :) EDIT: Password is back for now. I, and friends ;), will be looking in to some more "valid" protection. I also set the player slot to 30, coz we never get that many people online anyway. :) especially after the difficulty change hehe

This just isn't true, also even with appropriate clothing if inner layers became wet or torn by the environment/zombie attacks they lose much/all of there protective qualities. Regulation of your core body temperature is of extremely high importance in any survival scenario even when you have appropriate gear. While I don't think death is currently possible from the temperature system in the game (at least I haven't) I think having this as a survival consideration is very realistic and I look forward to its less buggy implementation into the game. You do not need to have snow on the ground or have a desert sun in the air to have hypothermia/hypothermia, and there are many factors beyond actual temperature that impact hypo/hypothermia from age to how much your exerting yourself. Looked into this a little bit, and you are correct for any modern silencer I could find online (after a short search) so I stand corrected. EDIT* I do agree with you about vehicles though, I've never spilled my (real) bicycle once and had it ready to fall apart.... of course my bike also doesn't magically fix itself if i get off it and back on it again.

I don't think those numbers are accurate, they're probably out of date. I'm having big problems finding vehicles on my server so I'm hoping they haven't brought the number of spawns down.

- Heh, well I still think BE does something good. So if we can keep it but at the same time run scripts I would be happy. My thought is that any scripts that we put into the mission file should be allowed since they originate from the server. BE can't kick the server can it ... ? :) 1. Teleport Hacks - It is possible to regularly track position and revert to last one if changed "too quickly". But depends on how the vehicles are added in the mission (placed in editor or spawned), I havent seen the Chernarus mission file but I have a feeling everything is spawned rather than placed... Which makes it much more difficult or maybe impossible. 2. Summon Hacks - Unfortunately I do not believe it is possible to track and react to players getting loot quickly. - Could be possible to cover the map with a search grid actively looking for vehicles not among the original ones. But again it depends on how vehicles are placed. 3. Invulnerability Hacks - Need to access player blood levels from DayZ, not sure how but it should be possible. Difficult to catch insta-healing though.

How did you get a private server with Vilayer? I can only seem to get a public one. But we seem to be having similar problems finding vehicles. My buddies and I have searched all over the map and haven't come across any. Either someone has hogged all of the vehicles or they aren't spawning.

well is it a guess when ive got 4 in my inbox? doesnt really matter, you just need to calm down, as i said last time. BTW in the latest Bliss update, i see them trying to do something with the vehicles. a possible autosave feature, but i dont know if its already done or they are working on it :)

Hopefully server hosters won't be able to do anything with the server but host it. Nothing. People abuse power, we have seen it here happen a lot. Admins don't need powers in a game - especially when hacking won't be a serious issue anymore in the game. So people can't pretend to ban "hackers"... or "restart" because a "hacker" was on the server (camp being robbed, resetting vehicles). And I am saying this as someone who also has an own server.

Did you try restarting the server again? Sometimes it's necessary because the vehicles don't spawn.

Hey guys, I'm currently looking for a small-Medium sized group of people between 3-5 people to play with Don't really care which role I am placed with, I prefer something with Vehicles or Scavenging. If you are interested in sending me a request, feel free to contact me on skype at Xmarkxi

Deleted all vehicles with nothing in em. i dont like the password idea, but thrown me some custom script and im all for it :) dont want password.

Server now has 80 vehicles ;)

This is the 4th time where I spend days on getting geared up, finding vehicles and ending up fully geared and then getting fucked over by some sciptkid who used his moms credit card to buy a fucking hack. #waitingforwarz

I don't know that much about vehicles, but it Helicopters in particular might auto-save so when the server went up the Helicopter was still in the air and crashed.

We have very basic rules which are mainly common sense, other than these few rules players are welcome to do what they wish. Rules No hacking, scripting No duplicating No extreme hoarding (If you find a vehicle it is yours but don't go overboard with the number of vehicles in your procession) No combat logging Enjoy.

There seems to be some bugs with respawns right now. I have witnessed players respawning right next to their dead bodies after being killed (not on the coast) and destroyed vehicles respawning right where they were wrecked. Zombie spawns are also somewhat bugged right now as well. At spawn points you will see them flash as though to spawn, but then they just disappear and never fully materialize.

Welcome to Day-Z again. Last 1 week on our server all vehicles got teleported into cherno 5 times. We got killed by hackers 6 times. 3 times we got weapon crates on the server. etc etc etc I think this game is now totaly destroyed by hackers. Trying every day to anti script many cheats with other guys from some forums but its not winable against this hacking flood. I stoped playing and won't keep my server longer online. It's waste of time and money and i'm moving to War-Z

So the question goes as in topic. Tell your story about the weapon class you prefer and why. I tend to stick with assault rifles with stanag ammo and silenced side arm. Currently running around with M4A1 Holo and M9SD. Primary weapon is for defending my self in pvp (which probably I didn't start) and secondary goes for silent zombie take downs. My play style is Heroish meaning I don't engage in fire fights and help random guys if I trust them not to stab my back. My worst enemy is ( I think) everyone with M107 or AS50 which in my opinion are pointless and too common sniper rifles in the game (thanks to the duping). Where do you need anti-material rifle in a game where vehicles are rare already? (no need to answer to that :) ) Well that's my fare share and I do like that we have the freedom of all play styles but I would like to see the game culture to move a bit to softer direction where you would really have to think about the consequences when shooting some one.

Well, if we will be using custom scripts, BattlEye needs to be turned off, but that wouldnt be a big loss and we all know it ;) IMO, the most important hacks that need to be prevented or at least detected are 1. Teleport Hacks a ) Players teleporting -> Onscreen Message and optional instant kick/ban (needs to ignore "teleports" due to death though) b ) Vehicles gettings teleported -> Onscreen Message and optional teleportion back to their last saved position OR admin script to manually reset ALL vehicles to their last saved position in database 2. Summon Hacks a ) Players getting high end stuff too fast (dont know how to detect that) -> Onscreen Message and optional kick/ban b ) Vehicles getting summoned -> Onscreen Message and instant deletion of that vehicle 3. Invulnerability Hacks a ) Players not loosing health when being shot or regaining health too fast -> Onscreen Message and optional kick/ban Just my first thoughts...

When you flip an ATV onto its side and can't do anything about putting it back onto its wheels - ATVs are not THAT heavy. Being unable to give yourself a blood transfusion, at any stage of blood loss. Amazing player/zombie running stamina. Even if we want to ignore the issue of player stamina, these zombies are like marathon runners - why isn't there some percentage chance (even if it's very small) to have a zombie's limb fall off from running? It doesn't always have to be a leg, it could even be an arm - rotting corpses should be somewhat more fragile/flimsier than your average healthy, living survivor's body. Being capable of repairing any vehicle, without any technical expertise at all. Hear me out on that last point I just made: whilst I know the current system is the way it is to allow everyone the opportunity to commandeer a salvaged vehicle, I feel it ruins the "realism" element of DayZ - which is what this thread is focusing on (as opposed to whether DayZ is "just a game" or "a simulation" - there's already a thread for that conversation). To me, it's unrealistic to believe that everyone who "survived" the beginning of the zombie apocalypse automatically knows how to repair any vehicle they stumbles across, from a small motorbike and ATV all the way to a helicopter. It would have been nice if there was a process of perhaps trial and error that allowed you to 'hone' the skill of repairing vehicles - you can go and obtain the parts, but the installation process initially could either fail or be partially successful but your novice repair job could result in unexpected malfunction/break-down, requiring you to once again repair the vehicle and thus "learning" over time how to repair vehicles properly and more effectively. Of course, that introduces its own problems, considering the average life expectancy of a typical survivor is under an hour, but since we're already dealing with one fundamentally unrealistic element of the game (which is your character "re-spawning"), perhaps allowing your "learned" repair ability to carry over to your next life wouldn't be out of the question - the difficulty and length of time it takes to successfully learn how to do a high quality repair job on a vehicle could be increased so that the task of trouble-free vehicle repairing doesn't become such a "non-issue" so quickly. I know that my last point could be said for the majority of things currently in the game that actually require technical skill, such as firing most of the weapons in game or certainly being able to fly a helicopter - but those things, I feel, are actually learned over time by the player. For example, not everyone who picks up an AS50 knows how to snipe with it effectively and not everyone who pilots a helicopter does so successfully on their first attempt - some crash and burn horribly in the first few moments of lift-off. People practice with repetition with those things and get better and more effective at it over time. I just don't see any of that happening with something like repairing vehicles, which should be complicated.

To be honest I only play on veteran servers (no crosshair, no 3rd person, and no hover over info) As long as they have veteran servers with these things I would be okey with other people playing on servers that makes it easier for them :) There are a few things that makes 3rd person kinda silly. (Not mention by the OP) 1. You can run around alot without bothering with the painkillers, in 3rd person you can do alot while still "shaking" cause you are not shaking. (silly in my opinion) 2. Driving vehicles becomes too easy and you don`t bump around when driving offroad, Servers with only 1st person people will always prefer roads, making them more realistic. But as I said. Give people "easy game" servers so we can weed out those guys on the servers I play on :)
