There have been hackers on every singler private hive iv ever been on. FACT. Iv seen ppl dropping ammo crates and spawning anything you want in them. Iv seen tanks, attack heli's and jets. Worst of all the location hack. That gives away every single player and vehicles position on the map. Iv never encountered a hacker on official servers. Soooo yea, i use private hives to hone my combat skills. That is all

Today, Me and a group of friends had a camp near Lopatino which we had a Ural Civilian and an Offroad Pickup Truck. We drive to the camp and bank our stuff so we could raid NW Airfield. Suddenly, 3 of my friends get sniped one after the other, and the rest of us take cover. We see the names Stradh and Santiago. One had a DMR sounding gun, and the other had an AS-50. I killed Santiago with my M4A1 Holo and take his AS-50 with 6 AS-50 magazines. More of my friends get killed, and I see Santiago again at our camp within 5 minutes of his death with Ghillie Suit and AS-50. Again, our camp was near Lopatino. I kill Santiago with his own AS-50 and TBH, I lol for a bit. Me and my last living friend take the 2 vehicles and bail to try and pick up our friends. On our way, to the East Coast we are constantly spammed with AS-50 and DMR. Finally we see a road which lead us to no where and the AS-50 spams destroy the Ural. So I try and head through another way and I see Stradh on the road so I try to run him over. I do it multiple times but no death, so I get out of my Truck and put 3 AS-50 bullets in him, still no death. Then I die with the sounds of AS-50 spams and a blown up truck. So yeah... BTW: Stradh's Forum Account: http://dayzmod.com/f...r/70888-stradh/ Santiago's Possible Forum Account: http://dayzmod.com/f...29619-santiago/ Time was roughly 12:15 EST

If you wanna shoot zombies and drive vehicles, play Dynamic Zombie Sandbox. Some people like the experience of running around.

Everytime I find and rep a vehicle, 1) either the session is lost, 2) server restarts with a password, 3) I am too weak and die while refilling or by dropping out of it, while I'm driving. Why do I drop out of vehicles when I faint? Doesn't seem to make much sense - especially not, if you are on the way to a hospital... Also - did you notice that vehicles go faster than zombies respawn? So unless you stop and wait for a minute you won't have any company at all. (I had a Ural Civ, Traktor and Bicycle, the traktor was cool, because it took me places and had huge storage; that is - until it was gone and most of my stuff with it)

PROTIP: Learn to drive and stop smashing into everything. Your vehicles will last considerably longer.

I don't know about the rest of you, but I am sick to death of running everywhere, no matter where I travel to I find no vehicles, maybe a tractor if I'm lucky (wow ty sooo much my team will love this!) Why are vehicles beyond rare to me? is someone stealing them or is there something I've missed about them spawning? Just 1 car...that's all i ask! Anyone else having a similar experience?

There is, but that's not the problem here. "Loading" is where information is being sent back and forth in large bursts between the server (Where vehicles are, the current map, trees, everything.) and can sometimes take awhile even on a good server. When the hive is bogged down, it pretty much won't load until the hive is steady again.

We actually banned you guys for using hacks - http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/46961-globan-ban-for-driving-unknown-at-the-time-hacked-vehicles/And for the guy who just shot me - the server actually crashed O.o; well, you probably dont believe that, but some of us lost vehicles during this crash.

catnipkillar how many threads does this make where your complaining about us175 hmm ? It seems thats all you care about having some sense of self rightousness wanting to bring down the man (admin). But it seems like you and your friends are the only ones complaining. Do you have any idea how many other players play on us175 a day ? I myself run a group of about 6 people on us175 and have never had any problems like this and I'm sure as hell there are alot of groups of friends in us175 not having these issues but because there content their not posting on the forums. TBH that so called evidence doesn't show anything that it happened in us175 sure the first screenshot shows the server on your list but how do we know that you actually joined us175 ? There is also no indication that the next 2 screenshots are yours ? For all I know you could have grabbed those off of anywhere. Bring forth real evidence or it never happened. For those of you who say that its a waste of HD space to record these happenings live, is a question of how much this event really matters to you and whether its worth your time to have definent evidence? If its not worth your time getting the proper evidence then its not worth your time posting a complaint you have nothing to back up with. If you feel that you are being mis treated though you should try talking to the admins they run a TS server and the info gets displayed on the lobby when you join. Talk to them bring forward your complaints, they 're very sensible and not misleading. Number of complaints is hardly something that will shutdown a server you need hard/ undeniable evidence. Now I'm just playing devils advocate here, I do not support abusing admins because they do exist but there are admins out there like the ones in us175 that are doing their best. After all the time I have played in us175 I have rarely had lag or problems with this server. Its one of the few that my group can get on with out having any issues. To me thats what is important sure the server was locked for a few hours but so what, it was my understanding they were observing some glitches that had poped up from the new patch. They took time out of their day to make sure the server is running and there are as few problems as can be now they didn't have to do this, they could have simply shutdown the server, update, restart, and oops we forgot to update battleye now everyone that joins cant login to the server. Honestly do you think they would let some one in their server while their running maintaince or testing some setting they changed ? I know I wouldn't, I would test it with the other admins and maybe 1 or 2 extra people I know and can TRUST. Because no one wants to lose their gear because their trying to optimize the server. Besides they are not the ones that stole their vehicles back from you, it was my group and we had nothing to do with admins. Get your story straight.

Pretty sure you need to fix them up Yoko, then again I'm yet to find one and am only basing this on most other vehicles I've found. ~Santa

It was fun, intense and actually our first legitimate fire-fight with another group who didn't cheat! It is a shame the server died mid way through, and the battle logging you mentioned could have been the traders delivering the vehicle as they aren't affected by Freeside rules. I have to ask though, if it was your intention to steal from us, what did you get away with? We managed to escape with the vehicles.

My friends literally had their care for about 3 minutes until it just randomly broke. if you dont believe me we actually frapsed it, so you can see just how long a vehicle takes to break. just notice how little it takes before going "in the red"

I have to make a couple of points on this. Crosshairs are not at all accurate, not at close range and certainly not at long range. I am referring to while you are in 3rd person view, I don't honestly know how accurate they are in 1st person. I prefer 3rd person for playing, but always switch to ironsights to fire my weapon because of the accuracy issues. The times that I have tried using the crosshairs I have wasted half a clip missing the zed I was aimed at before pulling up ironsights only to accurately put the zed down with a single shot. As for realism, I would argue that point also. IRL when you are holding a weapon but not actively aiming through it you are still generally aware of where it is pointed. This is because you have a high degree of familiarity with your own body and spatial awareness. No you can not pinpoint aim with a gun at your side, but you know "generally" where it is pointed and you know this in more specific terms than "somewhere in front of me". Where as in games like this without crosshairs all you know is that your weapon is pointed "somewhere in front of me" with no degree of certainty. So in this way crosshairs are more realistic than not having them. I like corsshairs being turned on, though not for aiming (as I already said). The reason I like them is that they make it much so easier to target things on the ground. Without them I tend to feel like I am blind and just waving my hands over the ground hoping to stumble across the loot pile that I know is right in front of me. Combine with how tricky it can sometimes be to interact with tents, or vehicles (having to be in exactly the right spot to refill or open the gear menu), and crosshairs become much more important in gear/inventory management than they are for combat.

Intro: Hello, this thread was raised by me to adress a problem... hackes... all games have them and they are considerd a pest of the gaming world nobody likes them and they are looked at as zitty teenagers with a cracked voice in laughter as they ruin a good game of zombie hunting fun, for the sake of their own amusement... this has to stop! NOW! I am here to propuse a series of suggestions to hopefully end this madness wich has ruined so many dayz servers, and med me personally quit playing the game! The Problem: Hackers are using a method of running client side scripts to spawn items and vehicles into the game and also using aimbots/ESP hacks to find supplies and players, killing them without them having a fair chance of defending themselves. This way that arma 2 is built makes hacking easy. Bypassing the protocol that sends a copy of all client side run scripts is easy! Im sorry to say that the only way to fix this problem with pure software is nearly or so hard that it is considered useless! This, however does not mean we should give up! Here i present: the solution The Solution: I am not a diehard fan of bohemia interactive, i started playing the games when arma 2 first came out, not making me a veteran, but i am experienced. I have a lot of friends in the biggest clan dedicated to Arma 2, the 7th cavalry. This clan was started in 2002 with the games they focused on was americas army (citation needed). They have about 400 active members and i believe about half of them are dedicated to arma 2. Wich means they have at leest 20 or so members who are veteran skilled bohemia interactive fans/players. And they have more experience in server hacking prevention in arma than most of us! We can only learn! They use hands on players to admin their servers! They also use something called "RCon tool" wich is a powerful admin tool used to find hackers using the "old faction way" of detective work. They have in some rear cases also used something called "Lost Keys" wich is originally a mission debug tool, but its features can be used in admining. (teleporting to hackers, god mode so hackers cant kill you while admining). I am taking into consideration that these tools should be restricted to ADMIN USE ONLY! and that the exploit of the tools should result in a Dayz ban and server blacklist! But on the other side a exploit of the tool is much better as it is about 2-3 admins per server, and the chance of them exploiting is smaller than a chance on a hacker ruining and emptying an entire server! Please devs! Considers this as me trying to help! NOT doing your job! Please, community share your taughts!

Yeah, its fucking terrible :/ it makes the game pretty much unplayable whenever you go near a town or airfield. Im pretty sure its caused by barbed wire but not 100% sure about that, some people also say its caused by crashed vehicles but cant confirm either way. Why Rocket doesnt just remove barbed wire altogether I dont know, its shit, it doesnt do anything other than fuck graphics up. It doesnt stop zombies, its just used as a griefing tool for covering EVERY building in barb wire so nobody can get in.

Nobody said "safe zones and crap". Everything will have to be player-created.If someone happens to make a safe zone out of five vehicles, some toilet paper and a brick and manages to maintain it - well , then they have beaten the game, imho. Because the easiest way to play Dayz at the moment is Bandit style, gun first, ask later and farm other players for items. If that is what you want to do in the future, you will find yourself staring at your kill counts only and wonder if you can beat that other guy that has over 500 kills. I am at that point and find myself utterly bored with this being the only option. Nobody wants rules or scripted events. Everybody wants a vivid and realistic world. Even though zombies aren't realistic they are a great scenario to start the "what if" imaginiation of players. What if I could do that? Then how would I do it? And who would benefit from it, who would I make suffer? The only consequence at the moment is that you're dead after a bullet to the head. There are far more and deeper aspects, I'd like to see explored. If you just want to keep running and gunning, well that's your choice and you can still do that, anyway.

Finding in the forest is your best bet, unless you go around with all the things you need for repair, and go to the west side of them map where the truck and hatchback are, I normally get my vehicles from there, but I actually come across a fair amount just in the forest, go onto a dedicated server, with has been around for a while, and you will find camps.

I have several vehicles in my camp I noticed that if you park too close to some objects it won't let you in the vehicle. 6 vehicles in my camp only 1 I can get in and it was parked out by itself the rest have slid into each other and now I can't even access their inventory.

Yep I have and I have been successful in 1 out of 4 times I've tried. The thing is though, I found most vehicles with the help of vehicles I already had. So I agree, if you have a vehicle its fairly easy to get more, and if you have no vehicle its pretty hard to find one. I've given up on purposely looking though, Most vehicles I accidentally found in spots where I wouldn't have expected them. for example this parking lot north of berezino, where I once found 2 tractors, a bike, an atv and a hatchback at the same time. So to sum things up: - make vehicles spawn randomly - make vehicles explode if they cross the map border - make vehicles respawn if not used in 48 hours This would improve the game. Maybe to the point where tank traps could be used for ambushes instead of just for trolling.

Yea I got one ATV to save it's position, but it never could save it's contents.. Note: That's one ATV out of the 8 or so vehicles we tried it on. @Quismsheecose - I'm guessing that's spam. Wtf is with spam bots following me >_>

make vehicles and people that farm airfields etc for overpowered guns more OP ...?? its a zombie survival game so imo this suggestion is more battlefield than DAYZ ,i would like to see more improvements for new players to even the field against these type of players who already have a massive advantage against newer players with nv and thermals and all the other various military gear available edit -- im not saying its a terrible idea just not really game enhancing for 99% of the player base

So I just logged on to this server outside of cherno, and I saw a jeep driving by, which stopped. Two guys get out and start moving slowly into the city. I figure it's my lucky day, run up behind them and hop into their jeep and start driving off. 30 seconds later after getting in the jeep: http://i48.tinypic.com/34q7fkk.jpg Complete admin abuse. Don't want your vehicles taken, don't park them out in an open field without guarding them, then kick the person who capitalizes on it. My friend who was also on the server nearby, heard him talking ingame using the voice chat raging. Can have him post here as well to verify this occurred.

Just 2 simples ideas to enchance the realism. 1.why not have an option where you can ride in the tray of the pickup truck to act as a gunner or 2. be able to break the glass and shoot from the passenger or back seats of vehicles. Imagine doing drive bys on zombies and players alike... Thoughts?

A kayak or canoe is an ideal survival prep, especially if you live near the coast. As a supplement to bicycles which are fuel free and super-awesome to ride in a zombie situation, it would also be great to have kayaks or canoes. Rowboats should be just sitting there on the piers. These sorts of cheap vehicles should be highly available imo i included a few pictures from row-ables in arma cold crisis, which could possibly be converted although i understand there is no animation for the long canoe shown.
