Im advertising for those players that would like a different way to play. If everyone has night vision, then nights become less of a problem for those who dont. This way server can have night and day cycle. We change the starting load out once every 2 weeks. I think it is good for people to know how many vehicles are available. This way chopper fights can happen, or vehicle fights can happen. It allows for more intense gaming sessions. Not my intent to piss you off. But the game is a lot more fun when you start with 1 mag and a makarov.

1. You should stop spamming. 2. Advertising starting gear like that and that many vehicles like it'S a good thing? What the hell?

I also look for multiple assault or alice packs for the same person with sequential log entries. I started noticing ppl who I never saw on my server were coming in, having 1 survivor/sniper entry, 1 backpack_EP1 entry, and then 2 other pack entries usually a second apart at most. Caught one of them on the beach one day he still had 2 packs laying on the ground with gear in one of them. Really wish the log entry shows whats in a pack when it comes into existence. Would seriously help identify these fellows. Also keep an eye out for ppl who launch 40mm_HE rapidly (faster than you can normally). You see someone doing that be sure to report them to the community ban list. Its a hack where they basically will tele to players/vehicles and saturate them with HE rounds.

I've searched this topic, and have not found any discussion. I have returned to 4 confirmed camps I have marked on a map from a week ago, all the tents in the camps are leveled and flat. I don't think this is a scenerio of someone destroying them as most as WAY out of the way of vehicles. Other players on Skype are having the same issue with their tents. Any ideas?

Player Jack Goff has been admittedly spawning guns, including AS50 TWS somewhere near Kamyshovo. He and player name Madeline have been using these guns to find a repair vehicles. I know both of them, and have played with them before I knew about this. Jack keeps a Thermal AS50 in a camping tent somewhere in the forest near Pik Kazlova, Kamyshovo, and Tulga. I heard Jack (over ventrillo, 7:48 PM PST, first video corrupted) admit that he had spawned guns, L85s and AS50s, and kept them in his tent. Jack: "It would be great to get everyone on and have a massive squad to slaughter everyone." Me: "Once we find all our guns." Madeline: "Or just have Jack spawn all our guns." Me: "But that takes the fun out of the game." (not the reason I'm reporting, I'm fully geared for PvP, but this is still wrong) Madeline: "That's too hard" Jack: " **** that, who wants to look for guns." In addition, I believe this is also his own server, as for the most part they are the only 2 in the server, and is titled so be hosted by JGserver.com. When he is offline, it shows that the server too is offline, this means that it is difficult for evidence to be found. (go check) I've played, bled and died alongside both of them, I've picked them up from cherno and even geared them myself, I saddens me to have to send this in, but cheating is cheating, I don't take it lightly.

If you're bored at End Game, make a camp, help people, perform operations to take out bandit groups and find more vehicles. Learn to be creative.

I repossess vehicles found outside the map and drop them off in Cherno or Elektro. It helps having a helicopter and a buddy.

Takistan just updated to 1.2. It now has support for 80 spawned vehicles at a time as well as adding NEW vehicles and they fixed more bugs. Good Stuff.

I would also say secure the hive, a former regular on our server has now teleported all our vehicles to somewhere off map in what the logs appear to show interaction with the hive. I'm not demanding a fix, I just wonder if there's any chance any of this can be remedied or if it's even being looked at. I know it's an alpha, but in providing a place for the testing to occur it would be nice to know that something can be done other than roll with it and wait a week for everything to respawn, assuming the spawn location hasn't been messed around.

i wanna play with someone that knows how to fix vehicles and knows how to find tents and especially someone that knows how to pvp.... i prefer someone that has the time zone of eastern....i only use skype so message me if your interested

Sorry I should have put all this in original post. Currently vehicle count I'm assuming is what a usual hive would have, We have no real intention of changing from DayZ's normal structure unless we really have too. Nameplates: NO Night time: When the sun sets of course UTC +8 Waypoints: YES And NO Our clan has NOT horded all the vehicles whilst the server numbers have been low. And to help entice some people to come play, We actually have a UAZ we are willing to donate to someone/s with some gear in it. We haven't stocked it with the gear yet, But it will have things such as: Weapons: M4's AK's Shottys M9's G17's Items Jerry cansx2 Possible spare parts We also hope to get the basic gear to put in it as well: Alice Map Compass Waterbotlles Knife Hatchet Matches Food So if anyone is interested either hit me up on here or PM

Hey guys, Cash here. Admin of Treasure Island on Vilayer Hive. Was anyway. For the last week, the server has been plagued by issues concerning the Vilayer Hive. Vehicles stopped spawning. People kept logging in only to find themselves with absolutely nothing... no assault pack, not even a bandage, having lost all of their gear for some reason due to the Hive not saving. Vilayer told me that my Vilayer code was out of date... even though I definitely installed it. But I gave them the benefit of the doubt and installed the latest again. It changed nothing. Same issues. Players were losing their gear for the last two nights, and hit me this morning after spending HOURS getting geared up, I log back in after work and have NOTHING. On top of it all. today my publicvariable.log started going crazy. I have been using this log to track hack attempts, like it is supposed to be used for. But suddenly out of nowhere, the log is overflowing with "null object data". It jumped from a couple 100k to 3MB in 12 hours. I tried rebooting twice, but it made no difference. So I open a ticket with Vilayer, and they tell me: "publicvariable.log is a new feature from battleye which tracks certain settings, you need to look at the scripts.log rather than publicvariable.log. Best Regards, Casey Baer (Support Technician) Vilayer LTD | www.vilayer.com" Really? It worked fine for weeks now until today... but now, instead of me using the log that is supposed to filter things out and only show hack attempts, they want me to just ignore that log and use scripts.log instead... which is completely unfiltered and filled with unnecessary data when trying to admin a server and ban hackers. What a joke. Vilayer Hive is broken. If players can not retain their gear on the Hive, then it is UNPLAYABLE and is UNACCEPTABLE. Not being able to use the BE logs as they are supposed to be used means the game will be UNPLAYABLE and is UNACCEPTABLE. Treasure Island will no longer be hosted on Vilayer, and I will be shopping for a new dedicated host.

Time better spent working on the standalone IMO, the hacking can't really be "fixed" in the mod because the ArmA engine is designed to be open and because of this I don't think it's worth spending a lot of time fixing a lot of the smaller bugs in the mod when it's always going to be plagued by hacking, as long as they aren't game breaking like artifacting and tents/vehicles not saving I'd rather they spent their time on making sure these bugs aren't in the actual game.

I am unsure as to who you're accusing, but I am definitely interested so I can clear up any confusion related to that. The clan Zorin was referring to was [101] who was banned for having multiple members being incredibly obnoxious in side chat, I was getting multiple complaints from different groups daily and didn't do anything about it, but when I finally witnessed enough abuse and taunting from the members of that clan (aimed at other people, not myself) I decided to go ahead and make some bans. The funny thing is, I actually played with them and never had much of an issue with them myself when it came to the way they played the game, even though their primary objectives were to run over tents and drive vehicles into the ocean. But when I get complaints from half of the server about them being obnoxious over side chat and bragging about how hilarious it is to kill people and destroy things, while commenting on how 'mad' they must be, and then give plenty of warnings about it which are ignored, I have to take action. That group played with two of the admins, but regardless of who we play with we don't hand out favours because of it. The thing I do regret and apologise for is that I wasn't clear enough on why the clan was banned, since you seem to be misunderstood on why it happened. Hell, none of the admins even kept any vehicles stored anywhere, I barely even play the game, and the other admin (only had two at the time) was joining you in the fun. It's also worth noting that this happened two months ago when we were very new, and this is the one of the two admin abuse claims that have come up in that time period. 99% of the bans made are hack related, with a few of them being for excessive side chat abuse. I do not moderate gameplay whatsoever and people know that.

Come and join our server, fresh vehicles spawned, plenty of loot, and regular admin presence means hacking can be dealt with swiftly. Cheers!

What do you mean vehicles auto repair now?

Every restart your fuel drains. Atleast vehicles auto-repair now. Both bad and good bugs in .6...

The problem with this is that the tools most people request (ability to reset/teleport vehicles) is effectively giving the server admin hacker abilities. You think it's bad now with server admins restarting servers after they're stolen? They'd reset/teleport vehicles all day long to hoard them with such a "tool". You'll just have to wait for Standalone for any sort of viable solution.

We were that clan, the clan I am in were regulars and well known on the server - we killed and stole vehicles from one of the admins, he then abused us in side chat with his friends and everytime we responded to defend ourselves he threatened to ban us. He kept on trying to provoke us, some responded and argued with him trying to defend themselves from accusations of being hackers etc (which the admins knew none of us were, confirmed by another admin after log check). They banned our whole clan and the admin went unpunished. We did argue back with the guy, but his actions and abuse across side chat was unnacceptable in the first place. The real lesson learned was don't kill a cherno camping sniper who has admin access.

Is there a report system at all for banning, or just up to detection with battle-eye&admins? This lame hacker Ferex just won't quit with the constant teleporting behind me to kill, or really lamely attempt to kill.. Truly a farce actually how sloppy he is, had to teleport a dozen times trying to trail me through electro after the 3rd or 4th kill.. The zombies had a better hit ratio.. Anyhow that and the flood of vehicles got a bit annoying, so just curious of what pro-active anti-hacker measures can be done, other than laughing off their waste of my time. Plus side the life was a recent respawn so not too much wasted.

Well, i'm not sure how much damage a helicopter can take, but the m107 is kinda weak against vehicles. What you REALLY want is an AS50. For reference an M107 does about 30,000 damage per shot, while an AS50 (using NATO ammo) will do something insane like 120,000. So one AS50 shot is worth about 4 M107 shots.

At least you realize why some of us have switched style to keep the game fun. I spent over a month lone wolfing on low pop servers and trying not to kill people, had some fun but it got a little old after awhile. Switched to grouping up with friends and playing as a friendly group trying to help survivors (offering rides and low tier gear to fresh spawns). We avoided cherno though from experience but still lost far too many vehicles to players and had a few frustrating murders from those we helped, so we started bandit hunting but kept trying to help those who were not threatening. Once again was frustrated by dick moves we lowered our threshold for engaging in PVP and eventually became more hostile to the point of banditry (minus newb sniping though). The nothing to do argument isn't 100% true, it just turns out that the mechanics make it hard to trust anyone effectively giving you no real incentive to expend energy being friendly. Our group still plays friendly on Chernarus servers, but have gone full bandit (once again minus new spawn sniping) on lingor servers. TL;DR Many of us have turned into feral dogs, most started out normal but devolved into sociopaths (in game).

What's stopping players from using vehicles? Or what about the dynamic thrown in from meeting other players in your area? In such a scenario, wouldn't solitary survivors form groups as they traveled? From the impression I've gotten, the alpha is just about survival, whereas the standalone is supposed to have an ambition(totally dependent on the players) towards rebuilding societies of a sort. I understand your point about distance between non-local friends, but I think there's a solution to that already. Different servers can host different maps/regions. So as long you play on the same server you can play together... just like right now.

With the amount of duped shit in tents and vehicles and other players being fully geared, you can gear yourself fully up within a hour of your spawn by killing said dupers and taking their gear or by running into a camp, which is very easy to find these DayZ (see what I did here?) ... So no, I'd rather gear up alone, because another reason to do so is.. When approaching cities and buildings, there will only spawn a few zeds on my ass rather then twice or triple the amount for 3 or more players.

I also play in a group but it´s just me and one other, we have survived quite a while now but it´s getting boring and we sometimes just roll into a city with "Bad" gear and weapons like Ak-74´s and stuff and just go to town, usually ends up with us getting killed but we had fun and then we can start over again (even tough we have tents and vehicles filled with weapons and ammo and other useful supplies.) :)
