Hey Guys, This thread is here for information purposes only, if you are interested in joining up with us head to socaus.net. the culture of SoC has changed as well a few other things, we currently have forum\server\ts3 up and a website is under construction as we are growing larger and are no longer just a rag tag bandit group, we will be hopefully be growing into a gaming community and exploring other games for fun and competition. so to the troll i bit you farewell, if your up for a fight come find us were always keen for some interesting fights if you wanna come play for fun awesome come along. FYI SOC clan server does not have a ping limit as it is ment for australians and the server is not ruled with an iron fist, we wont be hording vehicles nor using and admin power (or lack there of) to create an unfair environment.

Really, this is the only server I play on and we are a legit crew. But we are always getting server hopped or hacked upon. All of our vehicles are legit, and tonight our helicopter was shot down by an AS50 on the shore. I have yet to see anyone with a clan tag starting with an N. We seem to be a target of hackers these days due to posts like this posting our exact location and what we have, so thank you very much. Please go enjoy getting hacked on another server of your choice. -Tyler

How did you find out peoples names on a no name tag server? None of our admins hack, I can assure you of that. None of the vehicles are spawned in, I could let ANYONE watch me save it and run a restart and they will still be there. Most of our regulars have been playing together BEFORE we hosted US 1040, and when the server went up we went vehicle hunting like anyone else would. Like you said, no proof just butthurtness. Would you happen to be the guy that used the 'lock' script on me when I shot you with a DMR?

I like a lot of those Ideas and I would like too see better vehicles more variety and no helicopters depending on map size. More things to set up a base or buildings that players can fortify just enough to make it hard for one player to raid a groups camp

My friend and I visited the colony this evening (although I saw none of what you describe). I approached unarmed, I was met and asked my intentions, and I explained I was there merely to see what they'd built. I was told firmly (but not rudely) to keep away from the tents and vehicles. Aside from a lot of artifacts, things were fairly uneventful. We had a look around and were escorted away without incident. As we left, we did see a heli spin up and fly away. Oh, and some kid with a soldier skin being creepy. I do question how the "airstrike" video fails to show you infiltrating the compound... almost like you had simply appeared there. Posting the whole video might corroborate your story further. Anyway, nice camp and nice effort guys. We'll be back to bring you some of the items we discussed.

We have just as big of problem if not bigger then yours with hackers because the hackers think it's fun to troll us but none of those vehicles are hacked we even fixed up the heli unfortunately it was shot down today but the others we lend out and let people use. Maybe instead of being a bandit try joining us and trading with us we suffer from the same problems and hackers you do.

So I guess to keep it short for the reader I'll stick to a general story, and start it right away... I was in Elektro's school getting supplies and hoping for some trouble, as I'd had great gear already. List of some gear: L85A2 AWS + AKS-74 Kobra + G17 Ghillie suit + Coyote Backpack Night vision + Range Finder + GPS/Map + Ect... So I'm on the second floor patio and I see/hear an Old Hatchback drive by in front of the school towards the West fire house, so I stay low and keep an eye out. Two players come running towards the West side of the school so I zoom my thermal and fire away taking one out as the other comes to close for me to see any more. I get in the doorway watching the stair way in case he enters for a sneak attack when I hear rapid gun fire at my back. I was dead. (Later was told by my brother that the fire house has a perfect view of the school...) I spawn in between Cherno n' Elektro and decide to hopefully get my loot back. As I'm running towards/into Elektro I hear & see a helicopter hovering over as explosions go off all over the town but not rapidly. I still run as fast as possible to get in the action. ( with no weapon x] ) I get to the school and all that is left is rubble, as for many of the buildings in the town. The chopper is gone, so I head to the fire hall where I see the guys that had killed me left two vehicles in the garage of the fire hall, and I also notice they were all bomb to death. I loot the three bodies ad tons of zombies keep swarming me, and grab the ATV to help move quickly to gather loot before the Zeds get to me. I end up getting it stuck on a light post so I ended up with the Old Hatchback full of gas, n' fully tuned up. I drive off into the sun and later get attacked just barely getting away with my life, while way up North with no gas station the whole 30mins+ of driving. Gear acquired: M4A1 CCO SD + AK-74 Night Vision + Map + GPS Ghillie + Coyote Backpack + Ect... Nothing special... This was 2 days ago now so I don't remember the clan that was bombed or their names. I was also suspended for 3 days from the forums so that didn't help either. Any ways just a little fun story. Just one of those, "Can't believe that happened moments that makes DayZ oh so great!" Have a great night! CZ~

Being looking for vehicles for the last 10 days, waiting for them to respawn. Decided I need to go loot some deer stands and find a Atv on my travels. Jump on it have have a look (first time to find other transport) to see if its ok. -Found heaps of parts around the area. Looks ok to me, just no gas. So off i go to a petrol station no gas tanks, so I find another tank to fill my jerrycan. Come back to the atv and fill it up. Bloody thing wont move, what is going on here? What am I missing? I have saved it about 20 times.

This place is a fucking death trap... plain and simple. No matter what your intention was for this "colony" to be at the beginning, it is far from that now. When I had taken my journey there, with 20-25 people on the server at night.. I had been picked off by a l85 thermal-whoring bandit. (Which was to be expected) I simply re spawned and ran back. Second time I was there, I had CLEARLY made it obvious that I was there out of pure curiosity, stating that I am friendly and I am here to trade and barter, through VOIP and direct chat. No responses yet I manage to die from a DMR. My third and final trip there- I had finally reached some of the tents inside and managed to look around, which there were no vehicles, but plenty of tents. As I continued to loot some of the tents and check out the gear, I head some silenced shots inside the compound. I slowly approached the player from behind and took him out noticing he had been shooting at me. As I went to loot his body, 15+ satchel charges went off and I died from an unknown cause.

I didn't post this in the server reporting or cheat reporting because I don't have any proof, but this is just a general warning about server US 1040. There's a couple of admins hacking/teleporting around on US 1040. They set up a "colony" which has a ludicrous amount of spawned in vehicles at 114078. Me and another guy decided to raid it. I killed three of them, there were 2 left. Then suddenly 2 more guys appeared in front of me, then another guy the hill adjacent from me and started shooting at me. One of their names was FUCKYOASS and the other ones had clan tags that started with an N. I immediately aborted. I just posted another thread the other day about admin abuse, and it looks like since no one is taking steps to do anything about this issue, the only thing that I as a player can do is warn others about corrupt servers; so avoid US 1040 if you want fair gameplay.

Hacker name: jr Server: US 1573 (v1.7.2.4/Beta 95248) Time: 9:30 pm PST Player was able to edit his inventory as well as other players inventories, teleport players to the wilderness, spawn vehicles and weapons, and kill other players as soon as they load into the server and spawn on the beach. Wasn't able to get a screen shot. When I loaded in after being killed I was unconscious and bleeding as soon as I loaded onto the server and spawned on the beach.

Here a flipside to the Perks issue..... Let the system track your activity on special tasks and after doing it many, many, many times, you might EARN a perk...(you'll likely die long before you get one or you can become damn mechanic lurking in the remote forests of Cerno). Note: Anything that relates to combat/senses/speed should be left alone... Do you repair vehicles all the time? Well then after doing it for a while (I mean a long while), you get more skilled.. you get a perk. Do you regularly give first aid to others? Maybe your speed goes up and maybe you can even eventually get some perk (faster bandage times, healing ability, cure infections, whatever) Do you hunt and gut animals all the time... Maybe you can get an extra meat... None are game changing, and all would reflect your character improving as they survive.

Seems like a pretty nice server. I've seen several vehicles in use. admin seem to be quite active and responsive. I saw Jay-Nic and the gang earlier, helicopter and all. Got in a bit of a Firefight with Jacob after he was dropped off in that patch of woods. Im sorry he didnt make it out. I laid him to rest next to the tree he fell by.

We re looking for 1 or 2 more players for our little team. My mate and me are from Germany and both of us are students who re playin dayZ during the afternoon/night. You should be over 18 years old, have a normal life and not be anoying as hell. Also its important that you ve good patience, because we re pretty often sniping in dangerous areas. We are perfectly equiped with L85 AWS Thermal / AS50 / DMR / NVG's / Rangerfinders / Ghillie Suits & not scared to die. We have some vehicles on our server that we use to put in our stuff tho. Our "Warehouse" is strong enough to arm 4-5 men :D So if you re a survivor, we don't need you. You have to be a killer with balls :thumbsup:

Now, all you did was show that you have a bunch of hacked vehicles and weapons on your server, making YOURSELF look like the hacker, oh, not to mention the fact that a majority of your clan left you because they found out about you hacking and joined me. Funny coincidence I think.

Title says it all. Duct-tape has dozens of uses. I'm sure we can all think of one as it applies to DayZ. 1. Temporary bandage. Reduces the rate of bleeding but falls off after a few minutes. 2. Make a splint for broken leg. Wood Pile + Duct Tape = A few minutes of slow walking with broken leg. 3. Temporary hull repairs to vehicles without a toolbox. 4. Tape two magazines to each each-other facing opposite directions for quick reloading. 5. Tie a gate closed. To enter you need to choose a "Remove Duct-Tape" option, which takes time. 6. Gag another player. Stops them from using direct chat. 7. Bind another player. Stops them from walking/running. Need to struggle free to escape. 8. Tie someone to a tree. 9. Improvised tripwire. 10. Make a sling around a tire to carry it on your back (with speed penalty). 11. Twist around itself for improvised rope. And so on. Post your duct tape uses here. Update: 15 and 16. 17.

You have to know how to find vehicles... There is a potential for 49 total vehicles to be found in every server; 33 without bicycles. Not every person is going to be able to have a vehicle because they are supposed to be difficult to have and keep. At one point, I had 2 bicycles, 2 tractors, 1 bus, 1 hippie van, 2 offroad pickup trucks, 1 motorcycle, 1 ATV, 1 hatchback, 1 UAZs, 2 Fishing Boats, 1 PBX, 1 GAZ, 1 ural, 1 V3S, AND a chopper. It really is not that hard to find vehicles, the hard part is to keep them and hide them from other people.

Why'd you edit you're message to just say "Didn't see the airstrike in the vid?" after typing all that "proof" about wrong vehicles, night time, and no helicopter? Was it because that wasn't real proof? Couldn't see that one coming.

I agree. If he wants to follow with the Minecraft model he needs to realize how extensize mod support has been for Minecraft. In fact I highly doubt that if Notch allowed no mod support that it'd be as popular as it is today. Standalone DayZ has great potential, but will die quickly if PC gamers can not mod or add new maps, guns, vehicles, etc. Also private hives would be a good addition. Almost immediately upon Alpha release Notch gave away server hosting to the players, and now the internet is littered with thousands of free servers to play on. Having just one character annoys me. That's why I personally play on a private hive. I don't always play with my buddies on my retail-hive fully geared player, so I'll play on a private hive by myself, fully understanding my progress may be lost at any time. Imo opening up more mod support would skyrocket sales even further and generally have a happier fan base. But that's just me.

I was thinking that a crowbar that could be equipped to the tool bar could be used to break into various locked buildings/vehicles. Similar to your idea of breaking into a hospital, but also for example getting into a bus you just found or a locked warehouse, etc.

Hey Mate, No to me that sounds like someone is hacking in vehicles, as we were excited to see vehicles on our server but to check i had my group save all the vehicles found then i reset the server only to have them ALL despawn. at the moment i shut down my server if i hear a vehicle driving through or a helli flying over because I know there are no vehicles on the server, heard a helli "shutdown"

So, found a small tent city with some friends of mine. Nice little setup, 7-8 tents, mostly all the guns in the game, 4-5 vehicles. We threw loads of loot into the ural and made off down the highway, laughing at our good success. Then the server admin (BG Kyron and a passenger, nametags were turned on) passed us on his motorcycle, turned around, and started following us. When we say we were being followed, we stopped the truck and got out, then opened fire. He swerved off the road and into the trees. We waited 30-40 seconds, but they didn't come back. We got back in the truck and took off again... Then the cheater reboot the server. Ok fine, whatever, roll with it. We rejoin the server and are instakicked. Then they password the server. I submitted the admin abuse thingy a couple days ago and got no response, so I figured this would be a simpler way to get back at them. US 790 by brethren gaming, coords approximately 139 025.

You banned someone without any evidence. This is not the first time you have targeted us. The first time you admin-abused I made a post on your forums explaining the basic DayZ server hosting rules and one of your forum admins deleted it. There's a third party call on you to kick you from the hive in this thread. Your ignorance of the buggy game mechanics is not an excuse. The only duped gear I've ever seen was taken from tents on the BBF Madagascar server. I think your hoarding is somewhat relevant. You acquire many/most vehicles on the server, stash them, and then kick or ban players that raid your camps. (A hacker will do something like, teleport your ass across the map and mow you down with a SAW.)

I totally disagree if there was plenty of vehicles in the game and hording of them was not a problem there wouldn't be hundreds of posts about why cant i find any vehicles?? The only players that have them are hackers and admins/clans for the most part and the average player will never experience that part of the game...I'm not talking about not knowing where they are heck I've looked up where they spawn myself been all over the map looking for even one of em so i can experience that part of the game... and i play a lot... on various servers even and the only ones I have found are a bike the 3rd life in when i first started and about a week later a van i researched on other sites and finally stumbled onto but i guess i did something wrong and it bugged so i couldn't finish it... That's not realistic at all to have all these blown up wrecks everywhere, its just zombies not like a nuke dropped... sure some would be wrecked but most would be left where the owner left em be they along the roads by there house ect. ect. so they shouldn't even be rare... I'm not saying that they wont need some kind of work or you should find one everywhere but one things certain you should be able to find one and be able to put in the work to get it running so you can drive if you want They should be like any other loot spawn and be able to spawn in whether someone has gotten that locations spawn or not, or better yet be like the downed choppers and be a random spawn along the roads and such. You should also be able to take one with you when you change servers as well. This is a much needed change to the game that i gather from reading the forums on the topic that the majority of the player base would like to see implemented. Not only for the above reasons but to stop the abuse that's going on with them currently... For instance just today i read a post where a guy recorded an admin rolling back his server several times to stop a player hijacking some of there "personal stash"... just to get them back...

I hadn't really thought it through in any detail, I was just driving around looking for somewhere to hide a car and thinking to myself "if this was real life, I'd just grab some branches and stuff and hide the car"... I guess the pros, as I mentioned above, would be a good way to hide your vehicles and tents. Cons would probably be people putting them in awkward places for purposes of trolling.
