just wanted to leave some feedback my friend and i are renting a server from hostaltitude and it has been working flawlessly. there was a problem with the update feature where it would display an error, but that was taken care of quickly after creating a support ticket. also, tents/vehicles do not save due to a hive issue, and we ended up with a ton of broken tents at our camp location. we created a support ticket explaining the situation, and they promptly gave us a new instance id, which is exactly what we were hoping for. server has been up 99.9% of the time as advertized, and after adjusting a few advanced server settings, barely any desync or lag. no problems whatsoever and good support keep up the good work!

Keep the L85 for sight advantage day or night and the M4A1 CCO SD for for silent zed removal in towns/hangers and so on. Toss your PDW and keep 8 bandages. Just store a ton of Stanag and SD mags. Use the L85 for 250-280m player engagement Use the CCO SD for under 200m Zed and player engagement. Aim at the feet against players to slow them down and head shot them. Edit: If you are more daring, Use the M4A1 Holo, its a more rounded weapon with an open Eo Tech Sight(no scope shadow) and it has the grenade launcher which makes it a powerful storming weapon against players. If you can handle the noise it makes(audible up to 150m afterwhich players will only hear the ping from shots landing near them) its actually one of the best short/medium ranged weapons around with explosive backup. Just keep SD mags and 5 M203 HE. Don't bother with the Flare/smoke or a pistol, keep 3-4 bandages. It can also destroy/disable most vehicles except the bus and ural in one hit.

um he admitted to finding you because you took the vehicles not banning you because you took them. derp a derp. Considering that server has been plagued with hackers who just run from camp to camp and vehicle to vehicle without any adjustments to their courses you can see our skepticism to your story how you went from camp to camp in around a hour. ps there was no way that ural had that hacked weapon it had been checked a hour before without the as50 tws

The hackers who I want to be banned are the ones who go around nuking and thunderdoming everyone. Also the ones who spawn random ass weapons and vehicles I despise. However, the ones who make it rain cows or try and pull scary crap by stalking you without killing you are the ones I like.

3rd person is shit, it just feed most new ARMA players who bought ARMA for Dayz How Shit is 3rd? Flying a chopper with 3rd can see all hiding cars Easy to spot others, KOS more often, PVPZ? What also with LAME TAGS on? Scaning horizon to spot players, vehicles Can't hide a vehicles insdie a bulding, you can't bulid a indoor basement SO what you can do is just killing each other Defence for 3rd? It just an excuse, there are so many expert servers still running

It was abort then yes FYI... So you admit that your banning us because we took your vehicles? at grid ref 011/030 there was a broken down bus and a car, my inexperienced bud Brian who was shot first out of all of us, has had this game less than a week and hes the one that found them, he provided grid ref and we then proceeded down west border of the map found a total of of 4 camps with about 12 tents between all of them. It was my understanding that responsible Server Admins do not ban people that find their gear. I understand that your mad we found them i would be too. This is DayZ... if you want a game that is a bit more forgiving for poorly placing items then i suggest you look for one. So i will look forward to hearing your next reply... Much Love, neverm1nd

The problem with storage is that it promotes hiding vehicles like buried treasure, never to be used. Things like urals, sure. Keep the storage. But for vehicles like cars, trucks, and ATV's - they should be considered lesser in value so that they are used and not hidden forever like tents are meant to be.

you yourself said if there were more spawn points it would only just take longer for people to horde them so it really wont do anything in the long run they still would get the vehicles. i also like them being so rare i looked for my first one for 3 weeks by myself and it made it awesome when i found it repaired it and got away i dont think it would be the same with them being more common

I was the one to find the Ural and I wasn't banned because I had ran west after I Brought the Ural back to our camp. From the past few months I've played this game, I've learned that it's EXTREMELY easy to find all these little basecamps and vehicle hoarding if I run to the north eastern part of the map and work west. I was the one to spot the Ural while I was on top of a mountain on y-axis 003 or so. I mean hell, it's BRIGHT BLUE and SCREAMS "Steal me!" When sitting in a forest full of nothing but green. You are absolutely ignorant to ban someone for taking your vehicles. And #2, the white pickup we had, I followed that all the way back to a camp at 146,016 or so. I'm sorry that you have pitiful observations and awareness, but quit being a sore loser when you hide your vehicles in the most COMMON area to hide bases, especially when someone follows you all the way back to your camp.

the helicopter spawns on skalisky island, as for vehicles, search for camps north of NW airfield, towards devils castle. Beware of the groups of players that own those camps though

This isn't really a newb concern as such, but I've been playing for a month or so and me and my mates have found four vehicles, 1 boat (Marzeman then got shot looking for fuel) 1 bicycle, 1 ATV next to a guy who was obviously hacking because weapons kept dropping around it, and I was on NZ05 when Kemanko was on fire and there were a bunch of trashed buses, one I drove for about three second before it spontaniously combusted. So any way, the question is this, can you help with any suggestions finding vehicles?

A team of 7 people found the vehicles. Of course it would be a conspiracy. Lets just ban people for stealing vehicles.... good times. :facepalm:

7 day despawn is fine .... people keeping vehicles 20km out in the offmap area (fixed), hackers teleporting all vehicles into the ocean (fixed) ... after 7 days. Anything less than that is rubbish. 6hr, 24hr despawns ... silly idea. If I don't log on every six hours, or at least once a day, you want my atv to disappear so someone else can use it? If you want it, find the tree it is hidden in. Same goes for every other vehicle. Forcing vehicles to despawn so others can use them instead of getting up off their arses and going to find them is just plain dumb. Vehicles belong to the people who found them, repaired them, and hid them. They are just as much that persons property as their weapons, their food, and their med supplies, and like any other personal equipment, can be looted, lost, destroyed, or bugged out. Should your AS50 disappear just because you haven't logged in or used it in the last 6-24 hours? Vehicles are even more at risk than your own personal gear because they stay in-game even when you don't. Other suggestions such as making vehicle parts rare or jerry cans very rare, I can see the point, but these things would not be rare in a post-apocalyptic world, so I prefer rarity of fuel .... there are too many fuel points on the map and a lot of the aren't marked on the loot maps either. Reducing these and/or maybe randomising which ones have fuel would be a good start. Also, reducing the supply so that the amount of fuel at each of the tanks is limited. Maybe 10 jerrycans from one, 5 from another, 30 from another, would be a way of forcing people to use/risk the vehicles in their possession.

This is Steven. I was not banned, but was on the way to kill whoever had killed our guys before deciding to log out and try to sort this out like grown ups. We found all those vehicles legitly, and by chance actually, (We just went north and followed it around because this is the most common place to hide them) and it had the hacked weapon in it. We don't hack at all never had in any game I've played either. Also this proves that you have no grounds to ban us on, which by DayZ owner rules means your server will be blacklisted and shut down. This wasn't a threat it was a friendly reminder. You just addmited to banning them for taking your vehicles. Also how would you have followed us around while logged out alot of the times when he stole the cars in all rights of the game without hacking yourself? Also you ALT F4'd aswell as they rolled up to not die then ghosted on another server to higher grounds and logged back in.

This is Brian. I assume my ban was from association. I was minding my own business and just logged in and waiting for my mates to get back to camp with 2 vehicles. Spotted someone prone and watch them logout under a tree. Next thing I know I'm sniped and Admin Banned for hacking. Any explanation would greatly help. Ive only had this game for 4 days and still learning the ropes.

You will not be unbanned!! We had been following you while you all were systemactically taking the vehicles on the server 2 of which were mine and I know you didn't stuble upon them by chance. In no more then 1 hour you had found 3 vehiles that were well hidden. I was checking on the Ural when you all took it, that's how I found you. You claim the Ural had the hacked weapon in it which I know 100% is not true. Don't try to threaten me with the server being blacklisted, there are several hundred servers to play on I suggest you go to one of them. There were not banned for using the hacked weapon. I didn't even know they had it until after we killed two of them and Nevermind ALT F4'd

I can understand his anger but if he plays long enough in there to have all that he should know you announce your restarts but if he just hopped in and found a base he deserved it. the vehicles should go back to where they were last saved also so tell him to go get them again.

UPDATE: If anyone is still looking for a good server to make their home we now have Vehicles Spawning in our server. So come on in and Vehicle Horde! :D

You can't do much about car hoarding. If there's two times the amount of vehicles the clans will hoard those too. The only solution would be to reset the location back to the spawn points at a certain time, and even then most people will just get them back. That's just a thing that has to be monitored by admins, if they're not doing it themselves.

I get that this is the time to test features, but what about other things? Like the car whoring. Why not increase the amount of vehicles by 200%, while making gas only available at 2 or so places? Dogs just seem like a silly gimmick addition at this point in game.

Server this happened on: US 50 Time that it happened including your timezone: 4:20 - 4:30 GMT -4 What happened during the incident: We (3 people) are in the Factory West of Orlovets (114078) when a player with camo skin on a bike comes in the factory yard. I try to speak to him twice, he gets down from the bike, runs to me up to 3 feet in front and opens fire (Mk 48 I think). I get 3 body shots on him (M4A1 CCO SD) before I die. Friend A gets 4 body shots on him and dies. Friends B was behind a small storage building, runs to us but sees no one on the scene, takes the UAZ we had (the fight happened right next to it) and drives to our "camp" (no tents, just parking the vehicle there). Admin text starts appearing, gloating and offering a deal to Friend B to swap the UAZ for our bodies (he said he dragged our dead bodies somewhere, afaik that's not possible), since he seems to be craving for attention we just ignore it. After a bit, Friend B falls unconscious when receiving a burst from this admin, falls down with no damage loss and no passed out timer. Admin is now next to him and he keeps shooting at his body dealing no damage. My friend waits for the admin to kill him but he just stays there, so he disconnects normally (no Alt+F4). When Friend B rejoins the game (one hour later) his front inventory is totally empty, no gun, no ammo, nothing, gets knocked out for about 5 minutes and his blood is still full at 12000. Screenshots: There are descriptions in the pictures. Notes: - We had no "camps", we just parked the UAZ in one spot for about 8 hours, after that we used it to drive around the map, we must have parked it again there for a few hours, no longer than that. - The ATV left there was parked for around 1 hour since we had just fixed it (was totally broken). - The server was, to our surprise, mostly empty the whole day (we had joined the day before when 20 something people were logged in). - The camp wasn't static, since it was just the vehicle parked, no tents nor items left there when we were out. - We were moving fast throughout the map the entire time, we just came across a player near Solnichnyi (he was far) and we were shot at in Cherno from afar (no hits), that was the only player interaction we had for a day before the incident. - Friend A was actually quite paranoid most of the time and he kept close attention of players in and joining the server. Album: http://imgur.com/a/920sR Basically, a lot of stuff seemed strange, so we are reporting just in case, the last part is what we think hacking or scripting behavior. - He seemed extremely comfortable with running in front of 2 (the ones visible) people armed. - He should have died after my friend shot him. - He was nowhere to be seen when the third person came into the scene. - He went directly to the camp quite fast (there was a dirtbike in the scene, but he mustn't have used it or my friend would have hear it coming), the time seemed too quick for a using a bike to get there. - He knew where the camps was despite the lower player count the entire day and the fact that our "camp" was mobile, since it was just the car parked. - He spoke about the spot as our "other camp", so he must have thought the other tents we found during the day were ours. This is weird again due to the lower player count during the whole day. - He thought we had 2 camps and got to the one my friend was at in record time, silently. - Finally, my friend gets knocked down by a burst of light machine gun fire, but no damage received, and no timer on display, he keeps shooting at the body, but there is no visible change. Finally, when my friend logs back in his front inventory has been wiped out. Disclaimer: We were disheartened but not bitter about dying, we've had vehicles and the equipment we had before and lost it, the way we lost it was weird all around, so we are reporting just in case. We have had mostly a "pure" DayZ experience (almost no use of third party tools and wikis) so there could be things we are still not aware off.

Character Name: Les Stroud Real Name: Justin How Long Have You Played Dayz: Over 3 months, 400+ hours What Can YOU Offer The Clan: I think outside the box. I can predict another team's movements in real time. I'm a good shot, I know the map extremely well, and I'm fun to have in TS or Skype. I'm also a badass. Just in case that helps. Are You Prepared sacrifice your items to save squad members: I always carry about two kits worth of gear on me at any time for that very reason. Time Zone: Eastern Age: 28 Additional Comment: I've played with a smaller crew for most of my DayZ hours, as well as lone-wolfing it for a considerable amount of time, but I'd like to be involved in a much bigger clan. For example... the kind of large-scale group that can effectively shut down a city if they so choose. The kind of large-scale group that can monitor all roads coming in or out of the coast in order to hijack vehicles. The kind of large-scale group that can get a found chopper up and running in a single day of playtime. I bring a lot to the table, and would be an effective member of such a clan. Steam name is MasterMindflavor. Hit me up if you're interested in bringing me in.

I accept the premise that Battleye exists for a good reason. I've owned Arma II OA for less than a month. This is what i found out at Battleye.com; ********************************* ! IMPORTANT WARNING REGARDING GLOBAL BANS ! If you are globally banned, read the following rules before sending in a support request. If you don't follow these rules your request/e-mail will be ignored! Otherwise your individual case will be carefully investigated. No one is banned for using non-hack programs (like Fraps, overlays, etc.), picking up or using hacked in-game items, weapons or vehicles, being on a server at the same time as a cheater, or other passive non-cheating activity. Therefore all requests mentioning these things as possible reasons for the global ban are ignored. A shared or stolen cd-key is no excuse. It's your own responsibility to ensure that no one else has access to it. Include your exact (!) global ban ID. The ID is shown in your global ban message ("Global Ban #ID"). If you don't include it your request will be ignored. Do not tell stories. Whatever you are saying about yourself or your situation won't matter. The only thing that matters is the evidence that is gathered for every global ban issued. Do not ask for the evidence behind your ban. No details about it will be revealed. Hackers would love to have access to this information. Do not beg for mercy. If you cheated you will have to live with the consequences. Global bans are permanent and no exceptions will be made. Questions regarding how exactly to get unbanned will be ignored. No support will be given on how to buy a new game or change your cd-key. Again, if you don't follow these rules your request will be ignored! Note that you will not receive a response if the evidence clearly indicates that you or someone else using your cd-key cheated. It doesn't matter if you only cheated on your own private server. Cheating on BE-enabled servers is forbidden, period. ********************************* that all being said here's the shortform... don't waste your time because your concidered to be wasting ours. I did email them but don't expect a responce. I could care less about hackers/hacking as such and don't have the time or knowledge to even bother but now that I've been enlightened by the global ban placed on me you may find 1 less player on any Battleye server. It's sad because I'm in a clan and they're now setting up a server that I was concidering donating to. Clan integrity is #1. What I can't figure out is that I don't mind being killed by users or zombies but when servers screw up by spawn killing into the debug and wiping your items etc. is to much and I allmost quit the game for good. Too many updates etc. I paid for this? I can see now why Dayz forms want to stay away from Battleye global bans. Anybody here telling me that I'm a hacker is sadly misinformed. I hope the above info helps to enlighten those in desparate need of Battleye's reminder that they're conditions (rules) are so obviously one sided when one is questioning and requesting to overturn the ban. Shoot first and then you don't have to bother with the questions? r.i.g.h.t LoL

I used to hoard lots of stuff - heli crash sites drops, barracks drops, light vehicles & their parts (i.e. bikes, motorcycles, ATVs) But now both vehicles and tents are bugged, they're eating stuff, and it's kinda sad : (

You still have to abide by battle eye stuff and any black listed items for the mod, we for example can't spawn in any weaponized vehicles, but the server owner could turn tents into 'legal' vehicles, our entire clan had choppers and any gun we wanted by just asking, he even spawned in buildings to make an actual base (complete with medical tent, landing pads, guard towers, and working gates). Long answer short: you get some more freedom and do just about anything within reason, but you can still get banned by battle eye for certain things.
