Some of you fail to understand the problem, I (as all clans) know a member who also happens to be in the same clan/group and spawns in weapons/vehicles and what not. Admins have the access to guids and can provide them to hackers to spoof. That particular friend has not been banned yet (even though he runs the public bypasser) but I was notified not too long ago that one of our other friends was banned even though he has been on a cruise in the middle of the fucking ocean for the past 2 weeks..... I do believe ~80% of the 20k or so players banned last couple of days are legit hackers but I also strongly believe a large number of players banned have done nothing wrong. Heck, I was globally banned 1 month ago simply because I kept trying to login as admin into my own server and kept getting script restriction errors until I was banned. Contacted BE support and they took care of that (#54 #55 and other script was in 100s)

Morning all, I'm going to be fairly vague as I don't want to forewarn the players of the possibility of any action that may take place. Whilst scouting my way to a location on the server this morning I came across the largest camp I've found so far. It comprised of around 25 tents with a huge variety of weapons and ammo. Medical supplies and equipment. There was some bikes and a couple of vehicles. Some of the weapons, I believe, must have been generated by using scripts as, although they were all in-game weapons - not hacked in weapons, the sheer volume of extremely rare weapons (5 of one type) says to me that they've been scripted into the game. So the question is what to do about this camp? Over to you.

I have absolutely no technical knowledge of how the hive database works (my bad), but if you want some sort of explanation from someone who knows anything about computers, here goes: One other issues in Dayz is saving vehicles. If you manipulate a car's inventory (remove/add an item), then within a minute or two save the vehicle and relog, you will often find an item is either missing or duplicated, depending on the operation you performed. This could be similar to what happened with you, perhaps you put one last meat steak or can of soda in the pack, then immediately logged out. The alternative explanation is that one item may have not been represented fully in the database (maybe it was supposed to be in your backpack, but the database couldn't find it, because it was actually in your inventory when you logged out), so the database assumed your entire pack was glitched, and deleted all of the objects in your backpack. Hope this brings some sort of comfort to you. If you find this happening in the future, I recommend trying the following: 1. Dropping/picking up your pack on flat ground 2. Putting all of your backpack contents into a pile, signing out 10-15m away from the pile, then logging back in and putting all of the items into the backpack, then waiting a few minutes and signing out again. 3. Going into the fetal position and crying your heart out. Hope this helps!

Did the same thing with my server last night. Had "maphacking" so everyone could see tents, vehicles and other players combined with mass-teleporting to the centre of electro. Restarted the server several times and even took it down for an hour or so to make them "lose interest", but to no avail. In order for players camps and vehicles not to get compromised I had to take the whole server down. Sucks.

Well I havent seen all vehicles in the game yet...So thats why Im asking. Next time try to be more of a lil smartass.

I have been playing for 2 days and already seen more haxx then what i saw when i was playing for an entire month before June. Yesterday i met a guy who was obviously a hacker, he was a nice guy though, gave us a ride in his car and teleported us to the hospital. Also seen massive fires burning along the shores. And spawned vehicles. The hackers seems to be everywhere, seen it on both EU and US servers. Yeah i guess there is a smaller chance to meet hackers on 25 man. But seriously 25 men on a server is too little. Really hope there can be a solution to this. Right now Hackers must be causing alot of people to stop playing.

Well I stumbled upon an SUV and a motorbike along with my friends while we were roaming around Solnichniy in our Military Offroad. I've saved it and put it in our camp. My question is, do SUV's spawn or is it hacker spawned? If it is hacker spawned, will I be banned for using it? Its a pretty nice vehicles reaching at 115MPH.

I have friends that just buy servers to hoard vehicles, Make a camp so no hacking fuckbag can get to it. They also shut it down when they are not on it etc. You know why? Its called an Anti_Cheat measure. So no asshole faggit SKiddies come on the server and display how they took their dads credit card and wasted it on a game not to have fun themselves but to make everyone's day a shit tonne funner. Some hackers are cool. Like i saw the bus that went 400 Kph and he took us fir rides. Didnt give us any gear but was being kind. Some just are plain cruel immature children who thing playing CoD in dayZ works. What ever the case. People do go to measures just to keep themselves safe.

I think the population of people hacking in this game is actually larger than the honest players/fans of the game. Me any my teammates were always wondering how people could perfectly flank/assault us every time we tried to do some covert ops, turns out all they have to do is look at the in-game map and they can see all of our positions regardless of visibility or difficulty and teleport behind us to take us out. I'm not even going to bother playing on the public hive servers until the prolific hacking gets stopped. Story time: The other day we did a Stary run (6 of us), on a 18-person server. I was on the backside of the sniping hill (the hill next to the tents) with a buddy, and we were watching the deer hut on the other side of the valley. We had 2 snipers watching Stary (no zombies in town of course, we had it all to ourselves), and 2 people with silenced weapons went in. They finished looting and were on their way back up when a man with an AS50 teleports onto the crest of the hill opposite us (across Stary) and insta-headshots one of our guys. He teleports up to the other guy, my friend unloads into him, and he fires his AS50 several times into my friend. 2 more shots and he kills our 2 snipers on the hill, which he didnt have direct line-of-sigh with at the time. Me and my overwatch buddy were trying to bolt away at full speed towards the deer hut (to put some distance, maybe they wouldn't notice us). My friend had made it into the treeline, and I was about 15 feet away, but still shielded from the sniping hill by several of the large bushes (the kind only large vehicles can push over). Not only that, but I was feeling relieved because the weather was bad and I could no longer see the top of the sniping hill. The hacker must have turned on their aimhacks, because a second later, I saw a silhouette on the sniper hill, and they headshot me across the field, through two bushes, just outside of visible sight range. I had my friend abort because we couldn't let the hacker get everyone. Now for the sad part. Our surviving friend went on the next day to do some ops by themselves, but got thunderdomed by a hacker not 15 minutes after signing onto a server.

From the battleye "support" page :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.

Well We did plan on making this our "Home" But we came back today and discovered all our Vehicles gone along with everything we had transfered over from weeks of looting that was stored in them GONE. WTF?? It would have been nice to send out a Notice letting us know that you plane on doing a complete restart.setup and changing to Vetern so we could have saved our stuff elswhere . Man this is BS. Now Our Time zone is changed?? Why did you not send out a 24hr Notice before you did this? >:(

Then how did money originate in the first place? There was no central bank, only a general consensus of value. Money itself is a very simple thing, it only gets more complicated when the playing field expands. Essentially, the central bank would be the player base. How about vehicles? Assuming you don't shoot the guy in the face for it, what can you give him thats worth a Helicopter or a APC? Theres only so many guns and so much ammo a person can need. Thats where currency comes into play. Even in smaller cases, its easier to have a median commodity to get what you want, rather then finding someone who has what you want in addition to you having what they want. The thing is whether or not people would trust the currency enough. Thats the sandbox of it.

We've had a fun few nights on US 651, with incidents ranging from the questionable to the truly bizarre! Even with the current atmosphere in regards to cheats and hacks, I don't feel we're being too hasty to call out some of the happenings. Just starting off with the frankly hilarious numbers of high value weaponry floating around, I refuse to believe much of it is legit, especially since I keep finding camps where they seem to have a true abundance of utilities like night vision goggles... After finding the previously mentioned Minimiumiu on an isolated lighthouse island - I think it's Dragon that's out in the sea? - alongside 2 vehicles, one of which was not of the kind that spawns in the DayZ map, we suspected shenanigans. We were ready to just call it weird coincidence when we caught MMM and another player sneaking up on us to steal our bike, shot them both finding them to only have medium-tier gear, AKMs and such. Their death was shortly followed by 3 of us being dispatched individually, in the same place, with close-range gunshots from some kind of AK (from the sounds of it) and nobody in sight. We each had time to look in the immediate area before we were killed, and spotted nobody. By pure luck Endora respawned near Elektro and made it back to our spot in time to retrieve the bike, which he rode off in... and about 30 seconds later, everyone on the server froze on the spot! We couldn't move, although zombies and such were still functioning as normal around us. I believe Endora aborted before any damage occured to him and we later retrieved the bike, although it unfortunately disappeared without explanation later - much like our Ural, tractor and GAZ - though our camp was seemingly untouched. Besides these events I've described, I've also experienced having everybody on the map, at peak time, teleported to an area along the south-west coast where a firefight broke out... I do believe it was only 2 or so people firing, and the rest of us scratching our heads as we died. I ran and did actually make it away, but then promptly got script killed - judging from the deaths running up the side of the screen, as did everybody else who survived. Yesterday took the cake though - Araxes and I were riding another bike somewhere north of Cherno, on our way to Elektro, when we suddenly glitched half way through the map. Several terrifying moments later, after we'd been in the interior of several buildings, I found myself dismounted in the middle of Cherno, surrounded by vehicles. I counted a minimum of 15 buses, as well as a line of exploded helicopters scattered across the countryside, an ATV in the middle of a house, and bicycles aplenty. Assuming the probable loss of our bike I took control of one of the buses that wasn't on fire yet, and drove it away. About a minute later I died with no explanation. I refuse to believe I was sniped given that the windows were fully intact, and upon revisiting the site later, found the bus a mere shell of its former self, having been blown to kingdom come. (I guess this is what I get for trying to take advantage of the situation!) We've also found numerous dodgy looking campsites - one of my favourites at the dam north of Elektro, situated under the water thanks to a terrain glitch allowing one to walk to the bottom of the lake - and enough vehicles that we've started to doubt whether there's any legitimate spawns whatsoever. Including a helicopter which I excitedly insisted I could drive, and promptly flipped (never going to live that one down), killing 3 of us. Denizens of US 651 have my apologies for map marker spam from one or more of our members, and that one guy who placed one reading 'why are LCAT dying so much?' - probably the dude shooting us from beneath the floor on Elektro hill - well, all I can say is that friendly fire and vehicle buggery have caused infinite more damage to us than you have! :lol: Also, shoutout to 'Ass Grabber Supreme', a man we sniped no less than 5 times, caught him running up the hill with an axe towards us, and also when I died to another chap sneaking up on us I respawned near the fellow and gave him my commendations - and he repaid me by shooting me on the spot, with around 30 zombies chasing the two of us! Things are no better on the other servers we've looked at recently. I got a good laugh out of being dropped from the sky and reading BattlEye's propaganda as we fell - updated and improved my backside!

I thought I saw something like a weapon practice in single play Arma II or the expansion. It may just be the vehicles though.

Huh, he couldn't just play arma 2 to play with vehicles? I used to watch his first dayz vids, got generic a little later. Yeah wont affect everyone badly, but it "could" influence a few players the wrong way.

i read about the delayed spawn time of vehicles even after server restarts. maybe can be this your problem? as i said we play in two so we can't camp all the spawn points like you clan can..give a try, set some operation with your mates which lasts some hours after restart..

Good for you. OP it can just be luck. Sometimes servers are camped by groups of people who hunt and collect vehicles then horde them in secret locations. This would lead to the belief there are no vehicles. It's also quite easy to miss vehicles, I was passing one in a town once and had no idea it was a vehicle because it was rusted out and looked like a bombed car. I could get in it but red engine and no wheels meant it was going nowhere. As for crashed helis, I've been playing for 4 months or so and only found 3. It is possible to walk right by them if you're not paying attention though, especially at night.

i find vehicles all the time and just running around the north i find 2 crash sites a night minimum

More helicopters? 1 per server is too many. It should be like other vehicles where there is only a chance of it spawning. Getting heli's is way too easy now. And no. There are enough vehicles.

Do not join this server, its full of noobs. me and a few friends tried following the rules and ended up getting shot. So 2 can play that game, and we all re-join to raid them and as soon as we start taking guys out they shut down the server. and I have it all on video. Kids like this should not be allowed to run a server. If you can't play the game the way it was intended don't play it at all. EDIT: lol we joined back and have already taken out 8-9 people. and took out a few vehicles. gg scrubs

Mr zoop. I have one question for you. You said you and all admins here, have the right or the power to lock the server. i would like to tell me one good reason why to lock a server in your opinion. Cause last day...an admin was furious bout losing some vehicles..and locked himself in the server for several hours! so what is wrong with this power? maybe it is an abuse??? If you can answer my question i would be grateful

Hi, Yoric here (Benny in game ATM) playing mostly on Aus/NZ/Asia servers but some US where the ping is manageable. Really want to find some peeps to play with that aren't hardcore PVP. I've got Skype, team speak, Gvoice, mobile, landlines, pager, tin can and string etc just wanna find a decent server, tool up, build a camp, get some vehicles, kill some zoms and eat some beans. Hit me up if you wanna try and get online enquiry at the same time. In Electronic at the moment so that would help.

Nothing will happen battle states that... 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.

I call BS. It takes practically two hours to get to NWA and even then AS50's are rare as hen's teeth unless you're the luckiest guy on Earth and finding tent camps/crashed helis each respawn. But I highly doubt it. If anything the military installations would have working vehicles. Chernarus' civilians are basically stuck in a post-cold war era and the country is supposed to be poor. The exception being the corrupt government placing all it's funds into the military powers to ensure they retain power by controlling it's people. Basically it's a poor country controlled by the military wing government. Ergo, civilian vehicles would not be in perfect working order, because civilians would be spending what little cash they have on food and maintaining their farms. I suggest you play singleplayer Arma 2, it's quite obvious you have not.
