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.

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.

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"

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.

DayZ is a side interest for D2A as we are primarily a Planetside outfit. We gain enjoyment from the game by raiding the camps of hoarders, so everyone on that server can have access to vehicles, not just the admins. We also do it to try to level the PvP playing field by limiting admins' access to ghillie suits, AS-50s, and L85s. It is our play style, and it is very unlikely that will change. I'm sorry if you feel that isn't fair.

I refer to it as that because I seen it happen from our chopper that was circling right above you. Lets see that youtube video btw We have tents and vehicles, no ammo crates. Why are you hating on something we decided to do for fun? If you don't like it fine fuck off and do your own thing or try and kill us.

Jester, OK, this is getting confusing. I don't have any vehicles, just tents. I suspect we are saying the same thing but for the sake of clarity... In 1.7.2.4, tents would sometimes only save items if you waited for a server restart. This, everybody has figured out. The problem is that in 1.7.2.5, tents do not save anything at anytime. The old work around of waiting for a server restart does not work anymore. I have tents that have been through dozens of restarts, no change. They don't work and there there is no way, that I can see, for me to get my tents to save anything now. Jester, do you agree or have you got some tents to work?

Yes... you "owned" us... by coming to a server you had no property on... how could you lose? we killed you guys numerous times in the process, but you had no camps for us to raid because you are strewn across multiple servers unlike us... So yes... you blew up our buses with satchel charges... how many of you died in the process?... We shut down our server because it was saturated in duped gear, broken spawns, and daily hacker encounters that resulted in us being teleported to thunderdome, throw into the sky, randomly have our mags fall out of our pockets and so forth.... We started a new server with mercenary level difficulties to discourage those who are not devoted to the game... We saw a dramatic drop in hacker occurrences for quite some time... I assume its because its harder for them to drive their spawned vehicles in first person without slamming into a tree or dying from zombies (as we saw D2A doing quite frequently when you first came onto our new server). So yes... you guys are l33t gamers that cannot make it past the 49 minute life expectancy in a mercenary difficulty server... you owned us, alright. The only thing you did to own us is blow up our vehicles while they were undefended... bravo... you guys are regular navy seals here... Why is it that you guys left after we made our new server?... you guys came to it... tried playing mercenary for a while... kept dying... and then disappeared for 2 weeks until we tagged the server as BBF again... you can't tell me that you didnt know it was our server when you came in with names like "[D2A] HEY BBF".... This is merely out of curiosity... why the sudden interest in coming back and causing problems? Did you guys run into trouble on another server as well? Want to try something new on us?

I find it pretty funny that you bring up the day that we found your "vehicle depot." In fact, we didn't find you, you found US. We were moving north and regrouping at the time. You drove your ural straight through both of our groups, it was near the dam if you recall. Obviously, we opened fire and killed you all. We then continued almost directly north, and ran straight in to your vehicles. To this day, that was the most fun that we have all had on this game. I am not going to give away our tactics for locating camps and scouring the map, because that would just be silly. However, hiding all of your camps/vehicles on the edge of the map is pretty obvious. We lterally had to go from the far northeast to the far southwest and found probably 8+ camps. You can stamp us as suspicious, and now that you have posted that I can see why, but it all boils down to the fact that you responded so violently. Shutting down a server because of us, really? In response to your vehicles turning in to different things as of late, I have no idea. We haven't even been playing on your server for the past week because it has been almost a ghostland due to your new settings (which I love, by the way!). We have been running together as a cohesive group for quite a while now. We are pretty good at what we do. I suppose we've had such a strong reaction to this specific event because of how you have treated our clan. You declared war, we brought war. Then you ran away and we followed. You banned me from your forums for no valid reason, we had great conversations on your teamspeak. I thought we were pals for a while, then one day I log on and apparently the gates of hell opened. Oh well, when the ban gets lifted we're going to have quite a bit of fun, to say the least. See you in game.

once measures are taken to prevent duping and infinite ammo exploits end-game will be significantly more difficult. AS50s will be impractical because the ammo will be far too rare. Same with many other "end-game" rare guns. Tents and vehicles won't be brimming with duped end-game guns and ammo.

1. I hear a voice behind me saying, "ooh thats a nice gun, L85", I hear the grass crunching under feet and scan for a survivor but there is none there, puffs of smoke tell me where he is from a silenced MP5 firing, about 10m from me. I unload into the empty space next thing I am shot to pieces. Funniest part: He says to me, "you fucking hacker," which is doubly hilarious because I picked the L85 up legit. This guy musta got upset cos he couldn't find a tent or a heli crash site and turned to haxoring. 2. I am on TS with a buddy, up around Petrovka, paranoid as hell because it is about 9pm local time but the server only has maybe 12 people on it. I hear something like a humming or a mumbling, I say, "you say something?" to my buddy, he replies in the negative, I log the fuck out. Funniest part: Screenshot the game takes when you log out shows a dude in camo uniform with a red beret on, carrying an AS50 TSW, right next to me, us literally side by side. I am still earning grey hairs. Conclusion: Haxors are pathetic. I love when BE posts a Game Hack Ban. $30 down the drain sucker. Even better when it is a name I recognise and played on the same servers with many times. Since I found an MK 48, and someone stole all the vehicles I stole, I cannot resist climbing on top of stuff to lay waste to zombies. That guy in the ghillie doing that reckless stuff could be me! I am fed up with searching the wilderness for a bicycle or motorbike when all I can find are brightly coloured cars that go 10kmph off-road, easy come, easy go. I do miss the Ural I found at the spawn point tho! It took me hours to fix it. Why it bright blue? *sigh* Be vigilant, be pure, behave!

Really, I think the last thing DayZ needs is something that you really care about getting shoot away by a sniper. First its the gear (Weapons, Tools, Suit, Food) then Vehicles and now a Dog, Its kinna sad and when you will lose your dog in a gunfight D:

As stated in the other post, if a DayZ admin says those scripts are harmless, I'll remove the ban. I've spent far too much time and effort dealing with hackers spawning in vehicles, killing everyone on the server, foliage hacking, map hacking, and every other type of hacking. I'm not going to take some random person's word for it however.

#3 is just stupid, there are plenty enough vehicles in the game as is, we don't need more.

I don't think there has ever been an issue with combat.. with D2A or anybody else, for that matter. The issues began to arise when you guys simultaneously located every hidden camp (we are talking NUMEROUS hidden camps) within minutes of each other... it was not coincidence you guys (and only a few of you) managed to find every single camp that quickly... yes this could be "speculating" as you say- but I don't think you could have found every campsite (which are located at extreme distances from each other on far reaches of the province) in the amount of time it took you. We had those camps for ages with no issue... we had a very populated server, to boot. Why suddenly when D2A shows up, do all our camps get ransacked simultaneously when never before had we had an issue with a server that was maxed out at peak hours every single day of the week?.. How is it that you always seemed to know where we were at any given time? We had a helicopter once... flew it thousands upon thousands of meters away from where you engaged us... then moved a second time after that, even... and yet when we left the LZ, we are ambushed in the middle of nowhere by every single one of you?.... how do you guys manage to cover such vast gaps of space as one unit even after half of you died in the first firefight? we were likely over 10,000 meters from any spawn point your dead comrades could have gotten... yet there you all were within 20 minutes to ambush us. There are countless instances to reference that are more than suspicious.... I'm all for gang rivalry and fights... plenty of other public guests on our server have expressed their enjoyment playing here and that they enjoy engaging us in firefights... Its also refreshing with them, because somehow they don't always know where we are everytime... or see us coming from 8km out. Or coming back fully equiped with AS50s and ghillies and vehicles even after you are killed... and somehow I come across a weapons crate spawned on the beach shortly after you guys log off for the night... I dunno... I just find it suspcious... we all do. I would define admin abuse as using his powers to disadvantage our guests and give us the upper hand... banning for the lulz, etc... we banned one member of your clan due to the scripts... if its proven that these are not hacked scripts, then it would be revoked... If it was a matter of hiding from you all, we would have banned all D2A from our server to "hide from you" as you say... If a higher up says "hey guys, these scripts are legit" then you will get our apology... but its our honest belief that these are suspicious scripts and we are holding out until it is verified... that is not abuse... Is taking someone to jail due to being a suspect abuse of power or a reasonable precaution?... This sounds more like a cryfest than anything else... if you truly are not hacking, this will get resolved and if we are abusing our power, our server will get shut down... We are willing to take that risk due to our convictions that you are not playing the game properly, as you claim to be doing. As far as the spawns go (to answer the question): ever since people, maybe you guys, came onto our server and started spawning their own vehicles- vehicles no longer spawn properly or persist through server resets.... I do not think winter is referring to his truck... We are referring to the fact that we just repaired a helicopter last night and flew it around- landed it.. saved it.. logged int oday... flew it some more... saved it... server restart came- and BOOM... helicopter is no longer there after server reset... this has happened numerous times with numerous different vehicles... No it is not user error, as we have been repairing and using vehicles for some time now... we understand the mechanics involved... What we don't understand is why our vehicles randomly decide to go from being a GAZ to a offroad pickup truck after server reset.... then next reset the truck turns into a bicycle... or disappears all together.... My only guess is that spawned vehicles from scripts has something to do with screwing up the vehicle count in the database and prevents them from spawning properly or persisting.... Again, i say... who knows... maybe you AREN'T hacking- but until these scripts are deciphered by someone who knows for sure... we are stamping D2A as highly suspicious.. we are willing to put our server on the line over this... so either be part of the solution.. or continue being a part of the problem... but keep in mind that we have not banned anyone else from this server without probable cause to do so... Lets grow up here.... theres plenty of other servers you guys can play on until this is resolved... if it is dropped, come on back and play with us all you want... you guys are awfully upset over something so minor... especially for being banned from a server you have no investments on... what have you lost other than your dignity on this forum right now?... chill out and let this run its course for now. Sincerely, A "hider"

Same here. Just got vehicles today and after a server restart, they don't save correctly. i'm going to rollback to 1.7.2.4.

I'm really not trying to troll you, I'm simply stating the facts of the matter. I would have loved to talk to you about it, yet if you remember correctly after we found your camps you banned me from your forums (http://i336.photobuc..._WoW/banned.jpg) and I didn't bother even trying to log in to your teamspeak. If anything, you began the hostility, we simply finished it. Obviously us posting here is implying that we are denying the "charges." If you would like to believe that seeking out your camps and vehicles is trolling and not banditry, then yes I suppose we have been trolling you. Pretty hard, too.
