This is an alpha, and most of the time games are wiped in beta or on release. That means EVERYTHING is deleted from the saves. No duped items. I expect this to happen either when Arma3 comes out, or when the game goes standalone. Either way, all the duped stuff will be gone forever, baring someone finding a new way to dupe items. And Thermal sights are a counter to concealment, like NVGs are a counter to nighttime, Ghillies are a counter to some looking in your direction, and grenades are a counter to someone hiding in a building. Want more counters? AS50 nato .50cal rounds for vehicles, as well are M136s. And heatpacks for cold. Antibiotics for catching a disease, and let's look at silenced weapons. They counter themselves. L85s are suppose to be extremely rare. Ghillies are less so. Thermals are a hard counter to people hiding in bushes and ghillie-suit users hiding on hilltops. You don't balance a game based on exploits, you fix those exploits.

Butcher Petes all around. Heard this one guy duped a single satchel into fourty, then blew up the entirety of Cherno once. After baiting the entire server in there talking about vehicles fulla guns and NVGs and such.

... Now all I know about this is what I've read in this channel and (rage much?) these are my thoughts. Should he be banned? No Should he have some sort of reprimand? Yes. Before I continue I want to say that I don't like hackers and I've been killed many more times by them than what I would have liked. Having a fresh spawn getting teleported into the air? There's some hilarity in that. Having a +15 day character with really great gear getting teleported into the air? Not so much fun. I can understand the appeal of goofing around with hacked items or vehicles if you have the opportunity for as long as it didn't affect any other player (which includes giving an unfair power advantage) or the game in some how, and if I'm correct then this is what happened and in the end it sounds like he dropped everything hacked, doing the honourable thing. It seems that the people who want to see action taken are not so much pro banning him as they want him to get a reprimand about increasing the interest in hacking and portraying it in a positive way and this I agree with. Hacking is Bad. It's like giving a gun to people, some will be responsible, others will shoot down the first person they see. Anyhow. There are my two cents and please don't rage.

They just need to stop the duping of items and there will be much better game balance and people WILL worry over losing their gear. Simple dupe fix? Make tents and vehicles auto save everytime you close the inventory screen so you can't place, save and take. Bam.

Hey Blessong. I'm the Administrator of US 1836. While our server is new, I take extreme caution (as far as I am able with current data and tools present) prior to exercising any bans. To this date ,you are only one of two. The script detection for battleye I setup logged your movement as malicious and was reviewed. While the distances were considerable, I'm willing to give you a fair shake. I have removed your local ban and you are welcome to play on our server if you should so choose. If this is your main base per se, I apologize for any confusion. Between the logged movements and your activity in the Northeast Corner of the map, where, at the same time other malicious individuals were teleporting all vehicles, you were considered as exploitive. If you run into situations where something looks wierd, it probably is and isn't a good idea to stick around there ;) Sorry again for any negligence on my part and I hope you continue to enjoy your DayZ experience. P.S. If you experience any issues with your connectivity to our servers, please PM me or post here and I will see to it.

Good folks on 156-- fun chats, good firefights (like today-- CW and I run together), but it isn't a coincidence that the server has its first completely unscheduled and unannounced restart (been playing on the server for weeks, never seen the server just reset randomly with no announcement) mere moments after we swipe some vehicles and hide them in the woods. To the regs, though-- Mike, Shoebox, Sychronicity, and whoever else was part of that fight earlier-- good fucking times guys <3

My server updated to 1.7.2.5 and patch 95883 is NOT saving properly so your lucky...but vehicles still duping items

Battleye,We pray for you Watch over us Don't allow the Gods Kill Us Don't allow we fall from heaven Don't allow we are live buried Protect Our gear From hackers Protect our vehicles from radar Protect us from explosion And Ban then all

i really doubt it is that difficult to add a script that would upon activate reset the vehicles angle to 0 :/

I usually change servers around 3 times a day to keep on 20+ people servers and I have found 2 bikes, 3 tractors, 3 fishing boats (I know useless i'm just saying), 1 atv, and 1 pbx in the past week. Personally I wish I had more but I just leave most of them in town when I log since i'm only one man and only need so much shit. They are relatively easy to find if you know the popular clan hoarding locations. And let me tell ya, it gives great satisfaction to keep their bike and crash their loaded vehicles in the ocean for the time they used you as target practice in elektro :P. Well.. At least until the douche admin discovers his precious vehicle is gone and resets the server to get it back.. In conclusion, they are easy to find. You just need to know where to look.

Your forums? Sup rocket? Btw - You won't get banned for using hacked vehicles/weapons. Only if you were the one that hacked them in. This topic has been brought up so often, you'd think people would comprehend it by now.

This night started off pretty uneventful, cruisin around, checking for odds and ends. And then we moved on to Cherno :P Round the bend comes a bus, me and my buddy in our VW van (it's a beast) I sound the call, "hop out and start blastin" They do the same, one of em hits me square and sets me to bleeding, my buddy takes position, I duck behind a concrete fence and start bandaging, hoping they didn't flank, I get off the bandage, scurry to a hole in the fence I see at their flank, then the lag sets in, I pop around the corner, put some shots on the guy with the AKM q/ my trusty CCO SD, then I find out he's lagged out, and I've already seen his death spam, my buddy got em I guess. I take shots and die , and my buddy gets our bus outta there, they get out w/ the bus and w/ my nifty stuff. I respawn in Cherno, looking for blood, My buddy is apparently starting another altercation with the same guys, down the road a ways on the west side of Cherno, I scavenged the previous bodies, come out w/ a Lee enfield w/ 3 clips and a bag, then I start booking to my buddy who is within a few hundred meters. They pop a tire on the ole V Dub just as soon as I get a bead on the bus, no survivors spotted yet though, I scurry towards my buddy and duck behind a bush when I see some survivors, They had just nicked my bud and had him bleeding, Then I take aim, one seems to be bandaging or fixing the vehicle so I pop off at em, Hit em square in the head I guess, Josh down. The other bandit puts shots on me to supress me then takes out my partner. thinking to myself, "No guts no glory" I cahrge in, chuck a grenade i scavenged off the previous engagement, it flies high (I never get to use them often) Then I set in with the terrible enfield, missin em all over, he finishes me off with my weapon, now I'm frustrated. We reroup, adding another one to our ranks (Jason, up to this point it's been me and Feral) And hop in our backup 4 vehicle (UAZ) then we start chuckin it NW, wanting to get some gear back if possible, then we start seeing signs, Broken down fences, buildings we had seen recently looted a bit, so we keep on our normal path, being watchful, Then we hit zelenogorsk, then I spot who I think is the fella that killed me, all camoed out :P I tell my buddies we're gonna engage, then pull through their ranks and behind them, pulling next to a building, we hop out, I spot on coming to the front of the jeep aorund the back of the bulding, put a couple shots at him, missing I think, then my buddy who stepped up on that flank gets him down (Think it was Mr. Coon?) I'm hanging in the front of the jeep, and our third is in the drivers seat since we have a lotts guns in their, I see 1 coming up on the jeeps back left flank, fire on him, get a couple hits but due to no painkillers I fire a lil wild, he kills me with a few shots then Feral steps up getting a second kill in this firefight on the guy who just dropped me (Something Bender), Jason hops out and starts trying to help clean up zeds, Feral receives fire, as he's bandaging, Jason takes a defensive position and soon here's incoming survivor steps. As the third guy on the team nears jason lays him out with the 50 cal he carries (he's our overlook/sniper) And after that and getting flooded by zeds due to the 50 shots, feral gets out by the skin of his teeth as Jason gets eaten by zeds. After we recover we meet up with feral in the UAZ, lil beat up but, we gotta turn around and make the haul back to get all the loot that was left there, We get there in good time ( 10 mins or so) And recover all the spiffy loots they got away with, other than our Silenced Kobra (shucks) We load back up and get on the road, headed back down to cherno/elektro b4 hitting our camps to unload the UAZ, I get a lil loose with the driving on the west side of Cherno and end up slamming head on into a road block (FUCK!!) And we blow up the UAZ, I know fast enough to tell everyone to hop out and we don't die, but now we're on foot with a shitload of goodies as well as losing a shitload in the UAZ (FN FAL, M240, backup nvgs/rangefinders/GPS) So I feel like the biggest ass, down 2 vehicles, but we are up 3 bandit kills on the brightside. We cross the northside of cherno and head up behind prigo after a while running through the woods we start taking crazy 5.56 fire, I'm hit but I manage to duck behind a bush, come out on the other side after establishing E position and fire some shots on the first guy, hit him once or twice then I go down, And wouldn't ya know it they got Jason too, son of a gun I think. Then feral comes in with 2 sickass kills in reprisal dropping UOG Matt Foley and UOG Bad company (I think?) Feral holds it down a few while we run back to him, turns out we happened upon them at their camp site, so we see dollar signs and start looting like crazy, feral takes off on the bike by the camp for shits and giggles, then wouldn't ya know it just as me and Jason are looting hard a third UOG pops up and drops both of us in 2 secs with a 50 cal, Damn, damn, damn. Feral considered himself lucky and took off with what he had, having recovered one of our CCO SDs. And we call it a night, 2 vehicles down and up 4 bandit kills by the end of the night I think. Even with the losses and the hard times this experience was a blast, I hate KoS, but it does make for some really interesting encounters. And it just goes to show me all bugs aside this game is awesome and I'm glad to be a part of the testing. Rocket, give it what it needs and it will become a beast, I'm hooked. And UOG! We don't even care about the tents, just let us carry the UOG tag and we can have some fun times :) Or, see ya on the other end of my gun Barrel, as well as any of you other banditos out there.

Play Lingor Island. It's impossible to hoard vehicles on that map. I always find cars very easily and if you're driving around with your own car, you'll easily see a car along the road every 10 minutes. Vehicles are constantly being used.

Still have graphical artifacts from some military bodies, and just saw some from on of the wrecked vehicles on the side of the road. Sounds like it might have something to do with using the latest beta patch, all the people that said it was fixed seemed to be using the old beta from when the last hotfix came out. Another little gripe is the skin changes are fucking with packs still :[ P.S. to all the people having trouble with SU, if you have to use an automatic updater, and can't figure out how to get the mod working manually, you probably shouldn't be playing anything in alpha

They must have really increased vehicle spawn since I last played. All I have ever found was a Wrecked Bus and A bike that I dove off of and died. MY buddy have found a few more, an ATV from killing a sharpshooters just out of Elecktro. I've seen maybe 2 Offroads and 1 Bus other than the unoccupied vehicles.

Nice stuff is up north where the stakes are higher and people are generally better shots, so it is risky to try to get the stuff without a game plan. Be ready to die quite a few times. But there is truth in the game being much more fun with friends. I played solo for like two months, never setup a large camp or found vehicles and it started to get bland. Then I got a few friends to play with and we have a blast. Running around to help each other regular after death, or raiding camps, running around the coast helping noobs or scaring them to death by shooting at their feet, which is way more hilarious than just shooting them lol. Group dynamic makes the game a whole new beast.

US 1325. The craziest shit involving vehicles happens to me on that server. I just stole a Red car this morning. Lol, thanks for the camo clothing!

Why should a hacker be needed to destroy a camp or vehicles ? I've already looted some tents and destroyed them afterwards, like most bandits would do. I don't feel excited or happy to make another player cry, but that is the bandits way to e.g. defend his territory. And many camps i've found had a huge collection of weapons and ammo, so i don't let other bandits rearm. Some even had satchel charges, bad luck. Many players wisely choose areas far off cities and so you look there first. But sometimes they choose just these spots that every player would choose and you find them easily. Camps are easy too spot, and if you use a vehicle, you should be aware that they can be heard miles away, like another dinner bell. It would be smarter not to park them close to the tents. It's part of the game, there's no safe heaven yet.

yeah, I noticed the vehicles and that they reappear after legit server restart......got me scared there once or twice...btw, you want to take a look at the log files since the two guys stated above were spawning chopper and weapons. Also one guy teleported himself behind me

Are you fucking kidding me? What is there to steal? Our vehicles are stolen every fucking day by hackers. EVERY FUCKING DAY. And these guys just get a maphack of their own and know exactly where the vehicles are. Your post is exactly what is wrong with the dev team. Yes, there are some shitty admins out there who probably would abuse this tool. But if that's the case, THEY SHOULD NOT HAVE A DAYZ SERVER in the first place. YOUR dev team is responsible for ensuring that responsible people operate DayZ servers. If you have cheaters who would abuse said scripts operating dayZ servers, that is a failure on behalf of THE DEV TEAM. I operate a DayZ server, and I WILL be using this tool. And I sincerenly hope you're just a forum mod and have no say in the development of this mod, because if this mod is being developed with the "oh wait server admins might use this to cheat, can't let them read the logs or restart the server!" mindset, i might go and download some scripts because there's no way any admin can ever ban anyone for anything.

i ban everybody who uses hacked gear / vehicles. thats it.

I dropped the gun and crashed the chopper, but can you get banned for using hacked gear/vehicles?

We spent all of last night litterally from 9pm est - 4:30am scowering the map, found a player camp raided it to the ground, and moved the military offroad and the pickup truck of that camp several miles away and in a completely different heading, by our camp. I sign on at 3pm est and its all gone without a trace of evidence, the location we had was damn near unfindable, let alone the player logs for that day didnt have anyone significant enough to find were we were all fresh spawns. Was it a hacker? Admin? or Cheater? The initial camp we encountered had the bus, military offroad, pickup truck, two atv's and 3 tents however the vehicles were missing tires and so forth which seems as though its impossible to have driven a military offroad several miles on no gas, hull, engine, fuel tank, and missing front tires. Point aside was this the work of a legit player, did the server reset at 10am est clear out our vehicle and tent camp, or was this something more shady?

Me and 3 others are also on 326 and all of our tents and 3 vehicles are gone without a trace. I am also trying to find the server admin.

My playstyle I don't think is capable at this stage in the game. I actually want cooperation and teamwork, not to run around solo/surviving on the wild. I have died countless times from zombies, and a few times from players. One time I was trying to team up with this guy. We both were starting out, he had an axe and so did I. I went to go chop up a zombie, and he came up behind me and chopped me up. I'm sure the whole time he was like. "I'ma cut this dude up, ahhaa.." Ah well, people are simply stupid. The game lacks depth. There is nothing in this game worth hording over/shooting people for; other than your personal enjoyment. At the time of being sniped I had a good amount of equipment as mentioned. (Rifle, Pistol, Cooked Meat, Water Bottles, Morphine, Gullie suit, Matches, Compass, watch, map, etc, etc... ) I was pretty proud I was able to collect all that stuff. I could have just stayed near my water source and lived off the wild but I wanted a nice shiney new backpack, which I was hoping would be near the airfield. Sadly I ran into Mr. Snipe-alot. The game will never get boring enough for me to want to run around and shoot other people, I'll just stop playing all together if it becomes super boring; which I feel could be inevitable because of that whole lacking of depth. The zombie AI is horrible. A gunshot isn't going to give a pinpoint location on you. They will chase you endlessly. They defeat the purpose of barbed wire, doors, ladders, water. PVP via Computer gaming is not really my cup of tea. Other than trying to team up, scavenge to get vehicles up and running... that appears to be the "end" game for me.
