http://1800sunstar.com/GFX/icons/zmap-oahu.jpg I think Oahu would be AWESOME. It's slightly larger than Chernarus, plenty of hills, mountains, forests, beaches, cliffs, and a very nicely sized urban area with airfields, military bases, and smaller towns all over the place. Either that or Okinawa, same deal. Or Malta, Staten Island, Santa Catalina Island.. Any 200-500 kmsisland would do the trick, really... Point being, an island so that people can't hide their vehicles off the edge of the map like a buncha chumps :lol: (but add lots of buildings where you still had options to hide them, or add the option to hide vehicles with camo netting or tree branches n' nature n' shoot.) Also, DayZ needs to be on a new engine. RV3 is garbage. RV4 is gonna be just as garbage.

Ok, so I had a player on my server tell me that he spotted some guys spawning crates on my server. He said that I should look at my log files. Being new to server hosting (Day Z anyway), I looked at the logs, and noticed some weird things that didn't make sense. I noticed that vehicles were not updating locations, but were all ending up in the same area. I made my way to this area after noticing that a vehicle that was missing 4 wheels and gas ended up in this location as well. What I found was shocking. 2 tractors, 2 buses, 2 off road trucks, 2 bicycles, 1 ural, 1 car, 1 dirt bike, and a UH1H helicopter.... All were in bad shape, no fuel, etc. It looks like someone literally teleported the vehicles to this location.... What can I do about this? I made sure to destroy all the vehicles so they will eventually respawn, though the UH1H will not explode.... 300 rds from a M249, 15 shots from an AS50, and a frag grenade, could not kill it..... What gives?

+1 for blowing up the vehicles.

Here's the thing, if they were placed as traps we would have been ambushed right away. I've set traps with tents and vehicles before and I definitely do not let the customer drive around collecting gear and joy riding for a half hour before going in for the kill. As for the road, I was on a perfectly paved roadway going around the airfield. I've played a lot of ARMA II multi with friends so I'm pretty veteran when it comes to driving etc. So unless I hit invisible rubble wayyyy north of the airfield out of firing range of most rifles I'm thinking funny business. I've been playing Day Z for quite some time and I can tell when I've been sniped by a skilled marksman and when I've been duped. If this was an elaborate trap of some kind, you would think whoever set it up would be able to kill me with a few shots instead of spraying me down with silenced ammo which is pretty rare to find in the game...

People blaming the OP because of what a hacker did are just being silly. It is the hacker that's at fault for players losing their items, not Moonchild. He was wrongfully banned and thought it was because he found the admin's camp, and because of that he revealed the clan's base for others to ruin it (the only right thing to do if an admin abuses his power). I hope he doesn't give the vehicles back. It's too nice of him to even offer it, and Scroto's post alone is a reason to either keep them or destroy them.

No, those 2 are hives messages. The first one, is the hive granting the person the gear that he has saved on the hive, the 2nd one is a person saving a boat. EDIT: Just checked the last messages from createvehicle, that indeed looks fishy. He might actually be spawning vehicles right there.

So last night I was playing on US 1465 when suddenly a buddy of mine was instantly killed with no sound of a gunshot and his debug monitor showing 12000 blood while dead. A few minutes later the same thing happened to me. Now the question I have is, if you have 12000 blood when you're dead and it's not negative, does that mean a hacker killed you? We were near our camp when it happened, and hours later when I got back to it the whole camp had been either destroyed or the vehicles moved, there were just trees knocked down where the vehicles should have been.

Question 1: Hi there! I noticed in chat if you alt F4 out of combat you get perm ban no excuse(what im all for!). But the 3 weeks i have been playing I've met exploits a lot of times forcing me to do this. I've been transfered to a location together with all the players, a ton of vehicles and explosions several times. Only way to play then is to kill the game and join another server and then walk all the way back to your earlier location. I am at this time not banned, and this is the only times i use this to exit the game, should i stop and rather die to the exploiters? These hackers are destroying the game I'm afraid. Question 2: Even tough i place my tents as i should, don't over fill them and save ten's of times. Some times at server RS all tents in a hard worked up camp with friends is gone. I was in one of the camps at a RS with about 30 tents and they were all gone at once. I know this game is full of bugs and stupid menu's and item problems etc ect. But is there a server that holds on to these hard worked camps? I can choose to die in elektro or cherno, or i can choose to build up a solid stack of items in the bushes just to loose them to RS after 4 days of work... Any tip? Additional: Please fix some way to easily see spots in tent. Like a warning message when full instead of deleting the item. Please fix problems with clothing, hackers, lying down in stairs, cars over bridges, looting backpacks, braking legs at silly places, duplications etc. etc. I'd also like a "are you sure?" message when accidentally packing down a fully equipped tent instead of saving it, only to loose my stuff. (or: lay the items in the tent on the ground / cancel button while packing tent) I've at least learned not to get to attached to my items, you're never going to keep em. Thanks for your time and happy dying! :P

Take 5 members and put them in different grids starting in the top North West of the map and have them run 5k from west to east and I promise you will find a few vehicles/tents.

Age: 20 Timezone: CST (GMT -6) How long you have had DayZ: 3 months (approx 300 hours) DayZ Experience: Driving Vehicles, Able to maneuver cities without aggro-ing, able to run with a group and spot other survivors. Clans you have been in before: Rebel Regiment, got too big for me Preferred Weapons/Roles: Assault, M4A1 CCO or other. Steam/Skype Name(S): Steam: kingkilla15425

So I raided a vehicle base on a server today and in one of their vehicles there was an M40A3 that I took and the mags for it. Now I know that it's a hacked weapon but are there any repercussions for keeping it or using it? I've read around saying that someone was global banned for using a hacked weapon but I'm positive you only get global banned if you are actually hacking and detected by BE.

Before anyone wants to chime in here and tell me this is an alpha, let me start off by saying I'm well aware its an alpha. But, if anyone thinks that under the current design vision for this game that the beta or standalone/release versions of this game can be any better than they currently are in regards to the exploits, script fuckery and metagaming, you are blowing fairy dust up your own ass. I love this game and the ideas behind it. So don't get me entirely wrong here, I'm not saying Rocket is a dumbass, the obvious evidence shows that he isn't. But I am looking at the way things have been going in DayZ and the ever present downward spiral in regards to enjoyment versus frustration has grown more and more obvious as the weeks pass. Simple facts are, DayZ has a great concept but its marred by several engine level design flaws that Rocket has no control over. Its also got several development vision design flaws which lead it down the path we are taking. First of all, I'm not going to run down BattlEye, its no more or less effective than Punkbuster or VAC, to be honest the war of attrition with the 15 dollar a month hack suites out there has been in process for years now and will be in process for years to come. The hacks come first, the bans come later, the hacks come back. But the problem with DayZ and hacks is unlike your standard FPS game where hacks simply inconvenience players. In DayZ they're literally detrimental. I mean seriously, I'd rather be dealing with aimbots than the maphacks and teleports and nukes and artillery strikes and all manner of other thing we deal with in DayZ, aimbots would be tame compared to these. And the reason these scripts are so detrimental is because the base development vision for DayZ is spelled out quite plainly right on the front of the website. Scavenge, Slay, Survive. And these scripts and script suites completely derail the third S of the development vision. Well guess what, Survival is impossible when there is no where you could possibly attempt to survive in 225 SQUARE KILOMETERS because anyone who wants to drop 15 dollars and bet their GUID (or not bet their GUID since BE has been bypassed successfully quite commonly and somehow, hundreds of thousands of legit GUID's are up for grabs in zip files on torrent sites all over the internet and changing your GUID and license key is childs play) against the ability to completely crush everyone thats playing the game as intended, by playing the game in a manner that was not intended. Rocket says he feels this is a healthy community. I would probably pose the question, if I had the opportunity, to Rocket, to see if he felt 4chan was a healthy community. Because thats really where we're heading. Anonymity. Total lack of culpability for ones actions (except the handful of people that get a global ban every couple of weeks), a system ripe for exploitation of engine level insecurities that will never be fully addressed.....the entire point of this game gets thrown out of the window....why? Cause internet, thats why. Cause lulz. Cause no good intention ever goes unpunished. And no good idea avoids getting covered with shit from top to bottom because internet gamers, in general, have zero respect for anything but themselves and, in a fair amount of cases, not much respect for themselves either. Simple facts are, you could cut the Chernarus map down to Chernogorosk, Pridigorky and Electrovodosk, and thats pretty much all the game has to offer....because the lack of respect internet gamers have for each other, for the games they play, and the exploits and hacks that are constantly ahead of the detection systems, and the 4th dimension metagaming where no matter what you do, some jackass can log onto your server right behind you and put a bullet in your head (Transdimensional wormholes....thats SOME REALISTIC SHIT RIGHT THERE), or some petty butthurt player can basically scout every camp location on your server and post a freaking google maps doc with full coordinates and details for each camp, turning your server into a ravened carcass where people were TRYING to play the game as intended, and pretty much had their every effort nullified by someone elses ability to see every player and vehicle on the map. And to some, the "hacking" and trolling and meta-gaming has become...in their opinions, more fun than the game itself. So they'll keep on doing it. And they'll keep on getting away with it....and pretty soon all the positive talk in every interview in the world won't save you, Rocket, from the fact that all the websites that have been singing your praises are going to start reporting the real situation here. Which is your "alpha" is broken, the hackers don't just own your game, but they own the servers too because TCAdmin is about as secure as my mothers piece of crap Dell computer. And your entire vision devolves into people who wanted to play the game the way you saw it, and people who have perverted your vision into something different entirely. There are no easy answers to these problems. I'd love to be able to give you suggestions on what you can do. But currently the only thing I could suggest is a much stricter stance against metagaming, a complete revision of Hive character records which bound a character's data to the server they play on and could only transfer from server to server with legitimate cause (server has gone down and is not reporting heartbeat to Hive...that kind of thing), and to be honest, I don't think you, BattlEye, or anyone else can do anything against the script exploiters. Thats something BIS has to address and they don't seem to be in any hurry to release an arma2oaserver that rejects remote client script injection. Simple facts are, none of us are going to survive. There won't be any factions because factions will be pointless cause being part of a faction is hardly going to protect you from a godmoding teleporter satchel charging your encampments and locating all vehicles on the server, teleporting them to one location and blowing them up. All for the lulz. One great idea that could help refocus the mainstream industry on sandbox game play could falter and fall on its face, simply because the only control over the situation you and your "team" seem to want to have is control over the people that are providing the servers that give your player base somewhere to play. TrollZ, hope its what you wanted, cause its what you have.

Yea, this bug needs to be fixed. Losing vehicles to other players doesn't upset me as much as losing it to a restart. In my eyes someone stealing a vehicle is fair play and id much rather see it going to use in other hands if not our own but now nobody gets to use them which is a real shame. For now, we will all have to stick to tents for storage and hope to the high heavens the problem is sorted soon. Lets just hope we can get some working tents... REC5| Josh

I know how to deal with it. But the issue is, it can't be dealt with. Show me an FPS game that has no hacks and I'll show you an FPS game no one is playing. The other issues though can be dealt with, and it requires a stronger approach towards making the survival side of the game less vulnerable to people using exploits. Vehicles do not have to report back to scripts, player locations do not have to report back to scripts. All it takes is a stronger code package that removes these function calls from the DayZ base Arma 2 variant we all use.

Never gonna give you up dawg ... you lost some digital vehicles and guns ... i mean wtf ... ok it was a hacker ... but who cares ... you lost ist ... thats it ... actually you did the right thing ... i haven't seen the video yet of you running around at the coast again but i guess this was fun for you ... have some fun even though you are trying to take it to "the next level" ... lol ... whatever that is

Other similar incidents - http://dayzmod.com/f...e__hl__leavaris http://dayzmod.com/f...e__hl__leavaris So me and my guys where playing at UK34 for quite some while, then one of us got shot, guarding a body, by one in the crew ([TKG]) and a few minutes later, we manage to pick this guy off, and we accidentally found the TKG camp, with vehicles and several tents that we went to loot, and as soon as we got in the vehicles, been driving for a few minutes, the server goes down. we kept thinking it was a normal server restart, so we waited until we could reconnect, and as soon as we got in the lobby, we saw Leavaris again hopping in and out from the server, as soon as we were able to connect we started driving again, about a minute later, the server went down again, and hasnt been up for an hour or so. I do not think this is yet ANOTHER coinsidence, since there has been several occasions and several accusations against this admin and the server. We got proof and all these happenings recorded with fraps, I am currently converting and uploading, will post them as soon as they are ready. Regards. Peew

The vehicle will stay on the server, even if YOU save it and leave the game, that's why you need a good hiding spot. The gear inside the vehicle will stay inside the vehicle, even after server restart when saved properly. The damage on your vehicle will be still there even after server restart, ATV's will be unflipped and bicycles repair itself when you "Get out" and "Get in Old Bike Driver Seat" again. Vehicles don't despawn fast at all, it takes days until...

I'm sure you'll cry about it eventually... Because "morality" or "humanity" or whatever persists everyone becomes a bandit, I don't understand why people don't get this. A counter doesn't work its why it was taken out before. Make people bandits instantly for doing damage... why not just remove pvp? Or do you just want TDM not DM.... Also I suggest running people over in vehicles ghost riding vehicles off of cliffs/mountain sides Get the hero skin and troll survivors by shooting your gun at them until they kill you, turn them into bandits... Make sure you have a survivor beard to lure others into traps

The vehicles are hoarded in camps at the edge of the world on every server. Your best bet atm is to take a ride with a hacker.

fr35. Teleported and killed, after the ban was "You were kicked off the game. (BattlEye: Banned (Spawn vehicles))"

Clan wars never get old. Join a group, pick a fight with another one, and preferably try to steal their vehicles. Way more intense and entertaining than shooting fresh spawns, and you might actually get some viewers instead of being mocked. P.S. Remove the medic thing from your sig if you're sniping noobs.

When I made the post I didn't even consider hackers going on and killing people so sorry to all the people that just went to loot it. I'll pm the admin with the coordinates we set up our camp with your stuff(4 vehicles) and the name of my group member that combat logged.

same I was monitoring my server and I could only see 3 vehicles is this normal?

Today a player on our server DE 1116 ported all players to the famous THUNDERDOME. The shoutbox of our forums shortly before the accident: [Heute, 21:54] yoshipwnz.: You are not permitted to ban for suspected cheats or exploits of a non-server-disruptive nature, including but not limited to ghosting, unverified cheating, duping and similar...

Hi I'd like to tell everyone about this server, no I am not an admin but I would love to see more people play on this server. The server is restarted 3-4 times a day with 30 minute warnings prior to restart, No one is hording vehicles, there are lots of big camps (our teams included), very friendly server with no dcer's or hackers. Admins on constantly to kick/ban hackers and dcer's and our team just wants more competition. The server never takes longer than 1 minute from connecting to join it's just an amazing experience I'd like more to take part in so we can have a journey together in Chernarus.
