So are you proposing segmenting the hive into three parts, and giving people a character on each? To what purpose? I'd prefer just having each server have its own hive. Since tents and vehicles work this way, it would kill tons of problems, including server hopping.

think this is wrong why you ask well here goes on a server thats relitivley empty server restarts i checked whole map of vehicle spawns and found three vehicles. also last night i got out of my pick up and it just vanished :( never came back just vanished all guns and loot in it

I think Rocket said that he does not plan on adding either, but if the players want to see something like this it's up to them make it happen. e.g. 10 cans of beans = ak47 - this is already happening, people are trading gear for gear. If there is in game currency that almost leads to gold farmers, you'll be seeing players that farm weapons and vehicles for real money and lazy people with credit cards buying them. Safe zones are against everything what this mod/game stands for.

A group of us found a helicopter fully working in a field on Server 1485. After flying around for 2 hours, an admin logs in and bans 2 of us inside the helicopter for "Spawning in a helicopter". Apparently this Lackluster Admin didnt get the memo about helicopters Returning to the servers. Admins name is DN Lucy. Edit. The Admin only banned two of the three people who were in the Helicopter. We Also Stole Her PBX with the helicopter After she logged out in the middle of the water. After finding her PBX missing i guess she thought up a trumped up charge to ban us. Second Edit. Your not getting your boat back, so you lost both of the best Vehicles for a week.

Okay, I'm bored, and so I've been reading through the suggestions thread, and noticed some remarks about people repeating previous ideas. The stickied info post tells us to search for your idea before you post it, but I kinda doubt a lot of people actually do... It will be ironic though if this has already been done. I've searched it, with no results, so I should be fine :) Basically, I'll just compile all the unique suggestions in here, with the author's name. Also, I'm leaving out the crazy/angry/unclear suggestions :P This way if anyone feels like suggesting something, they can scan through here quickly to see if it's been done before. Now, I'm sure some people STILL won't check to see if their idea is a new one, but they have even less of an excuse now xD Plus, maybe Rocket can have a look in here for ideas instead of going though around 270 pages of topics :D Comment on any major ones that you think I've missed :) (Take note that I'm just going through these from the most recent, so if ideas have been done twice, the more recent author will receive credit /: Sorry, but it just speeds things up.)

Hi there. Is there a cap of the number of vehicles on one server? All vehicles can spawn or not? Thanks

Hey Guys, I am the owner of US 1507 and I wanted to let everyone know that we had a huge hacker problem. We had people that were invisible, vehicle spawning, vehicle warping, player warping, PMC vehicles and a fucking battleship (see below) spawned half way in the water and over the road!!! We are sorry for the bans, but it seems to have eliminated the hacking. We contacted our server provider, and they said there was pretty much nothing we could do other than ban them. I will admit that they told me it was against the DayZ rules, but I will not let hackers win. It ruins the game and hurts DayZ creators themselves. Again, we apologize to any honest players that were banned, but put yourself in our shoes. I am not going to pay for a server and have it overrun by some hacking pieces of shit! Thanks for your time, Emaxxx (Eric)

As long as tents/vehicles require a manual save process duping is going to be part of dayz. Rocket has already said that he can't fix all of the duping in the mod because the problem isn't in the mod, it is in Arma II and/or the underlying engine.

So I had gear on three servers. Tents. Weapons. Fucking awesome weapons. Ammo. Vehicles. Figured I'd spread them out around the place, you know? Not put all my gear/eggs in one camp/basket. Logged in today after a mass kill wiped out everyone on another server I was on, and the server browser returns no search results for each of these three servers. All three servers are gone. And so is all my shit. So I'd just like to say a big go fuck yourself to all the server admins out there who like to think they're doing people some kind of a favor. You're not. Die. In answer to the It's just gear, get over it. If you don't like it you run a server yourself. This mod is meant to make you wish assholes mothers died of cancer. u mad bro? I'd like to say http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-YmAWC2E2HFI/T9rw3lx6ztI/AAAAAAAACRQ/0iXAxioqhoQ/s1600/fuck-you-guys.jpg Between the hackers and the disappearing servers, what the fuck is even the point of this mod?

Go out for a walk and thing again how "an ass" you were by ruining the game for others who play fair... -Now a bit more on-topic- I got this from another forum post: ----------------- ! 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. -------- Taken from http://www.battleye.com/support.html -- I hope it helps... or not

using hacked weapons isn't an offence tough, making them is. he gave us some odd thermal sniper with full gear straight away, didn't dropp them but instantly gave them us. then spawned a ton of vehicles and other non-ingame found guns.

That round furthest on the left is the .50BMG round, which is what the Barrett M107 and Accuracy International AS50 use. These weapons have an effective range of up to 1500-1800 meters. If you get hit by it, you WILL die instantly. These weapons are by no means over powered, they reason they're designed is in the name: anti-materiel rifle. Materiel is basically the French word for military. AM rifles are meant to take out lightly armored vehicles and ALL infantry types. If you find yourself being shot at with either of these two guns, you're most likely not going to live through it. Now that the gun lesson is over, I'll share my opinion on the matter. People saying you need to adjust your tactics are right. For a sniper to be effective, he needs to remain concealed and have a clear view of his target. If you're in clear view of him and he's still concealed, he has a huge advantage. A good sniper will always hit their target on their first shot. After that first shot, their position is revealed and they usually pick up and move. If someone shoots at you with one of these guns and misses, you better get your ass either out of sight or behind cover. Good snipers always have a spotter with them who usually packs the range finders and automatic weapons to deal with close combat situations. Simply put, either stay out of sight (stick to trees and tree lines, minimize your exposure time) or stay in cover, return fire and keep moving closer to him. If you hear the first shot whiz past your head, take a guess at where the sniper is and return fire. You may actually kill him, or he might get spooked and bug out. The guns don't need balancing. If you're lucky enough to find one, you deserve to use it as you please. Edit: Oh yeah, those white smoke grenades are really useful as well. Get in cover, throw one either as a distraction or cover, then sprint through it :] Green and red aren't as good, they're mainly used for signalling things like extraction points/landing zones.

I cant play properly on any server because they keep following me. I've tried to reason with them but they just wont listen. They teleport to my location and just shoot me trough the head. Any server, any time. I cant understand that these people can do whatever they want and dont suffer any consequences. Now i cant play with my mates anymore because they kill everybody who is near me. So if i play with my friends, they get killed as well. Its so fucking obvious they are hacking. If you get the possibility to check out FR57 (which is offline now, probably because they dont want people looting their camp near the west of Vybor at 064.012 or the other way around :P) you should check out that location if they havent moved it yet. You will see about 15 vehicles and lots of tents stuffed with tons of AS50's, satchel charges, silenced guns, nvgs, ghillies and so on. Yeah I'm posting the camp location because i dont got anything to lose anymore, they have already ruined the game for me by following me on every server i go. Fuck you FR57 hackers. Fuck you!

Fox i got everything Fraps'd of you spawning vehicles / bear traps on podema dam. So stop asking for proof. Everyone already knows how bad u are. You even delete posts on ur forum that say the truth about your clan. This clan is a shame.

I decided to try out a private server to see what all the fuss was about.. Here is a short summary of my experience. -Global chat was on and everyone was chatting and being friendly, but of course KOS is still the norm. -No crying or complaining, there were even a few good sports who congratulated their killers, myself included. -The admin was on the whole time helping out and answering questions, he even increased the vehicle count to 35 for us. -I found a ATV at a known spawn (first time I've ever found one not counting hoarder's camps) and there were 4 other reports of vehicles (1 was a chopper) over chat while I was logged on. -My FPS and connection were just amazing. I never knew just how good this game can look when you can actually see that far. Also how much of a disadvantage I was at before. And of course, I didn't get thunderdomed every 5 minutes. In fact I saw quite a few messages pop up that people were blocked from joining because of this or that, with a few mentions of Battleeye.. Didn't really understand it but I've never seen anything like it on hive servers. Would lead me to believe that they DO have better protection like I've read, but I don't state things like fact (like everyone else on the internet) unless I know for sure.

Some good points. I think that tents and vehicles saved to you should disappear the second you die. I like the idea of a tent to store some weapons/ammo/food, so you can plan your load for whatever you are about to try. However, tents/vehicles that don't despawn the second you die spoil the permadeath mechanic. I'm sure this would be an easy change to make.

Just a note, we banned 4 people from our server for hacking in vehicles. Names are: Siridel [HS]Miras [HS]Vara [HS]FITEQ

Decided to come back and see how the server is doing. I experienced no issues throughout the first restart, although I had no tents or vehicles to take care of. Now (just 10 min ago) the server crashed (any intel on the situation here?). Will be interesting to see if my newly stolen white off-road will stay where I left it (saved it) and if my new tents will work. Otherwise I'll say goodbye to about 7 top-tier weapons :P Edit: Vehicle still there and got a new magic tire. Tent was wiped clean but still stood in the same place.

i would ride the stfu truck if it didnt tele with all the other vehicles and explode qq

Saw a video with either goons or 4channers doings motorcade with them, so they're like the vehicles for cool kids.

I was on overwatch at Stary Sobor as our group was passing by, I see a black SUV driving from Novy to Stary, I open up on the engine block, the driver gets out and makes a run for it. Subsequently I kill 3 people, Beaar Grylls, Knight and Moe. I assume atleast one of these people owned the SUV as one of them sniped one of my buddies inside Stary. Meanwhile I look over to Novy, and notice another SUV, again, black, sitting by the church. I hear these vehicles are hacked in, is this the case?

Hi all I've read somewhere that you should restart your server all 6 hours. Now for the most part of last month I did that as well as possible. But is it really necessary? I've found whenever I managed to not restart it (had a 3 day phase) I simply felt no difference on my server. So far I see a restart as more damaging for the experience (restoring of tents and sometimes their gear in it). Or vehicles/tents vanish after a restart. Is there some bloating going on in the server files, maybe logs? Actually now that I think about it, my server host never even once mentioned restarting the server to be necessary.

Each time the issue of hacking is brought up, about half the people shrug it off "I've never seen any hacking". It's such a common theme, people denying it exists because they personally haven't seen it. Or to a lesser extent, admitting it's a problem, but diminishing how serious of a problem it actually is because they think they haven't seen it or have only seen it once or twice. That's because the vast majority of hacking isn't the thunderdome, or the whole server being nuked. It's someone giving themselves ESP (all players appear with arrows above them, visible from anywhere), god mod (you think they didn't die because you missed or it lagged), or spawning weapons and gear. Or teleporting around. Or vehicles. There's loads more. All practically imperceptible to the average player, but I can 100% guarantee your gaming experience has been sullied by it. As you become more experienced in the game you'll see just how common it is, the people you kill being back in 5 minutes with the same gear. Invisible people shooting you when no one was around. The 'hacker loadout' ( .50 cal, M4A1 silenced, NVG, rangefinder, wookie outfit). Some hackers are happy just to have the best equipment, others aren't happy unless they're playing in god mode or nuking the entire server. Most are the former, but they still ruin DayZ - and so do you by denying just how widespread the problem is now.

1 hour ago someone suggested that they should add some sort of snow feature. Camo for vehicles sounds good.

I think you should add some sort of snow feature, makes heatpacks useful also add snow mobiles. along with that i think they should add camo nets to cover vehicles from helicopters and make it harder for helicopters to spot. just a suggestion leave any comments on it below :D .
