Hey guys, we're battling hackers on our server and it's pretty blatant. We own the server, but our admin was offline as it's a new server. I was FRAPSing, and got their names etc but the proof is fairly clear as it was mostly a team effort but not conclusive. I found and they kept returning with, we also demonstrated their hacked weapons before killing each other to get rid of them and hiding the bodies. They then logged. I have FRAPSed footage I'm gonna upload anyway. General Warts Lt Dan Pvt Parts were the names on GB #126 - spawning vehicles + weapon crates. All this was around 9pm - 10pm. Gonna upload the footage.

My experience so far with 1.7.2.4: Tents still eating our gear after server reset. Everything is updated properly server side. Desynch issues seem more prominent now. The couple occasions where I've logged off for x amount of time and relogged have produced items in my inventory that were previously dropped. In one case other items that were left in my inventory purposefully when logging out had disappeared in order to make space for items previously dropped but then reappeared. Vehicles have so far seemed to save properly. Can't comment on graphic glitches and artifacts just yet as I have only been around generally low pop areas without barb wire spam (Novy sober/ Gorka) Zombies being able to hear gunshots again is a welcome change. However, I am of the opinion that the new LOS mechanic implemented on zombies is a little broken. It is now virtually impossible to sneak through a town properly, and IMO its pretty dumb when you're 500 meters outside of town and a zombie you couldn't even see comes sprinting at you from town. This coupled with gun nerf by Bohemia creates an environment where looting a town has become a marathon run through all of the buildings with a zombie train behind you. This is bad news for a avoiding pvp for obvious reasons. Please note that I think the gun nerf is fine. I don't care about that. If I recall correctly, 1.7.1.5 was the last version where, once again, in my opinion, zombies worked. They had a good balance of sight and hearing then. Not sure why theyve been tweaked so much. Last thing I'd like to mention. To all of you morons running through the forums and trolling everyone who has an opinion. I hate you. I get having a little animosity towards someone bad mouthing rocket directly. But when someone has an opinion about game mechanics or a new implementation, there opinions should be welcomed. This is an open forum and I assure you the devs look at the opinions and partly shape their choices based on what the majority has to say. Seriously, unless rocket himself kneeled you down, tapped a sword on your head and proclaimed you dayz policeman, just stfu. I have no idea where you fucks got your sense of entitlement. YOU gtfo. You are just a big a damper on the community as the "rocket just epic failed" crowd.

Strange that I stumble onto this topic, because the exact same thing happened to me and 2 of my friends last night. We attempted to log in multiple times over the course of about 15 minutes and when we weren't getting stuck at loading screens we were getting kicked. I'm sorry that I don't have proof of the incident, but if you remember seeing global kick messages about Bear, Elliot, and Black Rambo then you can corroborate my story. We kind of assumed they were doing something shitty, but we wondered why they didn't just lock the server for 'maintenance'. It's a shame that people have to be like that. Part of the game is trying to find vehicles. That's why vehicles are so exciting to find! They might as well be playing Halo where you're practically given something to drive.

The admin of this server constantly kicks players that try to join. My buddy got on the other night and found a HUGE hoarding camp where the admin and his buddies have been collecting all the vehicles on the map. I tried to log in to play with him later that night and we were instantly kicked. I decided to search google for "US1101 DayZ", and this is what I found... http://dayzmod.com/f...-other-players/ http://dayzmod.com/f...-kicks-players/ http://dayzmod.com/f...ver-kicking-me/ http://dayzmod.com/f...01-admin-abuse/ http://dayzmod.com/f...locked-servers/ Can something be done about these guys? I just tried to log back in to get a screenshot or video of them kicking me, but they just took the server down.

I like the key/hotwire kit idea. Wouldn't fix the hoarding issue many people see, but it would make having one vehicle hidden somewhere for your own personal use more secure. I will agree that hoarding is annoying. On the server I play on mostly, I've seen a grand total of one vehicle at it's spawn or anywhere near where people might cross. The only other time I found any vehicles was when I got really lost on the way to the NE airfield, and ended up running in random directions due to the lack of a compass, watch, or any landmarks. Ended up in a camp with about 7 vehicles in it right on the edge of the map somewhere. Logged out nearby, then back in 2 days later. None of the vehicles had moved, and I killed one of the guys who was on at the time before being killed myself. It's literally 3 guys who know exactly when and where the vehicles are going to spawn, and are there within minutes to repair and take them. If you can manage to pull that off, good for you. But the game shouldn't make it as easy as memorizing spawn timers. If the vehicles spawned at more random locations, that would probably do the trick.

Tents and vehicles eating items, massive graphic glitches and duping without even trying too.. you said you WERE NOT going to patch on Friday!

There should be no problem hoarding vehicles as long as it's within map boundaries. In my opinion if you drive outside the map at all the vehicle should explode, killing you and automatically respawning the vehicle. Another note I might add, is that vehicles should require keys, hotwire kits, steering wheel locks, etc. If someone puts hard work into fixing up a vehicle, it shouldnt be easy for you to just walk up and drive away with a brand new car...this is DayZ, not Wheel of Fortune

That's your buddy - And that's also Call of Duty (lol). Most people hack because it's fun - Think of it like Grand Theft Auto, if it didn't have right-down-left-up-right-down(3x), left(3x), etc. to spawn fun things like tanks - You'd have to resort to hacking them in. I'd assume the reason people hack DayZ is to spawn items/vehicles that are not in the mod - And I'd assume the other reason would be because they're sick of shit like happening - And only getting responses from people like you going "Learn to play noob".Edit: And hell, it may even come down to just griefing the community- But they seriously aren't griefing any more than the people playing "Legit". (In other words, sitting on the edge of a town just killing everyone "Because pvp is the shit!" PVP is usually used on even terms, but in this game pvp means killing you from 300 yards where you can't even see my guys silhouette.

Not sure what happened to the vehicles but i definitely agree with the restart warnings.

Whilst driving a ural a few days ago (my mate and I have never found a land vehicle before this) the admin decided to restart the server without any warning... We logged back in and were not in the vehicle, about 200m away from each other. We looked around in the area, even trekked back up to the last spot we saved it, to no avail. We figured sure... shit happens. Logged out where the vehicle should have respawned (last save point) and it never did, after multiple server restarts. Yesterday, we tricked a guy who was using his chopper as bait (different server to where we found the ural), managed to steal it and fly off with it. A little later, again... the admin decides to restart the server without any warning. We log back in, in totally random locations, around 2KM away from each other. We then trekked back to where we last saved the chopper, again, not there, again, waited for another server restart or 2 and it never came back to us. Are server admins resetting their servers to previous 'save points' or are these vehicles just disappearing into limbo because we were driving in them at the point of restart? In any case, it would be great if there were standards which server admins were held to. For starters, naming and tagging their servers with 3DP, CH in a universal format is a must. We spend so much time looking for servers because the admins can name it whatever they like and searching for specific settings is incredibly time consuming. Secondly, all servers need to have warning messages when they're about to restart. Seriously. If we had 30 seconds warning and we would have jumped out/landed our vehicle, saved it and everything would be fine.

If an admin reads this (3:32 pm EST 7/28/12) the server is in need of another restart, vehicles did not properly spawn upon restart. Thanks!

That everyone knows! You sound like you giving an excuse to be lazy cause you don't feel like going all the way up north to look for a vehicle. Even though during your search the likelihood of you coming across a nicely stocked camp is very high. The reason people take vehicles and camps mostly up north is because most people hang down south. It makes sense just walk your lazy self up north if not just walk if your gonna chill down south.

Impossible to hoard vehicles. If you haven't gotten a clue as to where 90% of the camps in the game are then I you will figure it out eventually. Think christmas, Santa, North Pole, Profit. At the very least if you go up north camp hunting your going to find a vehicle. If you go up north and there isnt a vehicle on that server switch to another I'm sure you will find one. I think problem is only a problem when its your "main server" if you just play on random servers I can't really see this as a problem.

This is a very nice idea. I like it. This would let us know how much danger we are in when we plan on stealing vehicles. :3

Vehicle hoarding is when you take far too many vehicles than you will ever need. If a clan of ten players took 10 vehicles fine but when a group of two takes 10 vehicles then that's a dumb thing to do. Vehicles spawns are around locations where players are likely to visit like towns etc. But hoarders are in locations that nobody needs to go. So glad the heli radar has been disabled! OP is just looking for an excuse.

I'd like to see the 'examine body' show if a body was shot to death or mauled by zombies. As a suggestion, having the option to do the same with vehicles would be interesting.. If it could say "the engine is:" And then something like Hot Warm Cool Cold That way when you find a vehicle, you can tell now long it's been sitting there.

I Love playing both ways. Driving 4 vehicles with friends is a rush, but at the same time I enjoy going solo to if my friends are not on or if I just want a little alone time. Id say I group 45% of the time, the rest I solo, both are good fun! Everyone should give both a good chance. Its nice to have friends to communicate with and to have each others back, but at the same time it also attracts ALOT more attention with more people.

If its a Hive desynchronization then all tents and vehicles disappear from the server. If you can see other tents and vehicles(damaged or not) then most probably someone stole yours. A proper server restart always fixes those kind of problems.

Just so you're aware, the same thing happened to me when we stole TKG's vehicles. As soon as a TKG member (it was Terraknight) saw me, the server went down for at least 4 - 5 hours. When I logged back in about an hour after the server came back up every car was moved, including the one I was driving. I can't prove any of this, but I won't play on UK34 anymore, that's for damn sure. Not sure if Leavaris is responsible, as I managed to kill him before all of this went down and nothing odd happened.

Vehicle hoarding more applies to people who smuggle vehicles into the debug plains or that one island that you can only get to during a certain time of night.

haha this. Snipe people at elektro for an hour or too. You soon get over killing people and all the hard hours they've put in. When we find fully geared vehicles at camps we usually just blow the things up. Feel no guilt.

Server was all updated earlier. It has not been unknown for tents to go missing (and vehicles) when the server crashes. A restart usually fixes that. Anyway... who's getting the chopper tonight then? :D

I believe they are working on it chaps. Server seems to have gone missing from six launcher for some reason, but can accessed from the in-game multiplayer options. Server auto-restarts at 7am (GMT) from now on. Main admin has been busy/away for the last few days, but we're hoping he and vilayer get things sorted soon. boat, if your vehicles went missing about 36 hours ago .... we found them :) dead, if your vehicle was the yellow car .... we found that too. :) Just returning the favor for the guys that nicked all our vehicles a few days ago .... assuming that was you boat? .... otherwise, there's another large group of players we're playing cat and mouse with.

This all happened at 7:00PM GMT on 28/07/2012. After watching some guys in an ATV and a UAZ, they drive off somewhere unknown, being cautious about leaving the area since they could be around, we see someone spawn in a Bus by the camp we were watching, so I decide to go for the kill, and nail it. The guys name was Matt(2) the admin of the server. About 5 mins later the UAZ comes along to where the bus and camp is, so they are obviously friends and have communication, they proceed to get out and check the body, setting up our shots my buddy unloads his M249 SAW for supressive fire and i start taking them out one by one with my AS50, a person in the UAZ disconnects and the UAZ bursts into flames. The last two people start running for their lives, my friend stops firing and i nail both of them in quick sucession. After admiring the shooting of both of us, I eat some meat and we proceed to change position, and to our surprise the server restarts once, we load back in to see the UAZ perfectly fine and all 3 bodies gone. Then the server goes down a few more times, so instead of trying to take down that UAZ again we call it quits. The UK115 server has been reported several times for admin abuse, the threads can be found here: http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/36063-uk115-admin-kicking-abuse-npv-clan-11-people/page__hl__uk115 http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/29157-uk115-admin-abuse/page__hl__uk115 http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/26527-admin-abuse-on-uk115/page__hl__uk115 This server and the admins deserve to be blacklisted, they don't deserve to host a server if they can't take losing their vehicles and gear. The names of the people killed in order are: Matt(2) -(The admin) xXMadSupraXx Rotari Not Iceman Thanks for reading this wall of text. If you managed to.

Server is back online. I know that its controlled by the Hive. But i had a long talk with a DayZ staff and so i had to do some things. Dont know now even if the vehicles are back. Let me know if you got your vehicles back, Otherwise i have to send a mail again.
