Yes, my story doesn't add up to what YOU think happened. I could say the same about your story on where the bike was because I clearly showed you on the map where I parked it. Also, you said you saw the bike on the MAP correct, yes I think you did. Please tell me you are aware that vehicles, players and zombies show on the map where you last had sight of them. I could have been long gone but my position on the map would still be marked where you last saw me lol. I would love to see this frapsed footage you claim to have as well. If you have the part of you shooting at me, you should have everything else correct? Or did you just decide half way through chasing my ghost bike on the map that you wanted to stop frapsing. As for the gear, you said it yourself earlier, if I cared about the shit you had versus what I had on me I would have taken it. My lee enfield has been very kind to me, as you have seen. ;)

Our server went live and no more than 30mins later people were asking how a helicopter was flying around. Thats a lil insane but the problem is why should I the person paying for you to play on my server for free have to deal with it. Spending hrs going through logs and copy pasting guid's. We try to help yall out by providing you a server but now we cant even play because all we do is look for items/vehicles that arent suppose to be there.

Hey ya'll. Im goliath, nice to meet you. Anyways, I was kicking CQF clan members for one reason, grid searching. We are a small server with roughly 15 people max at all times. But over the past week, he CQF clan has been joining our server with over 20 people, searching our map for everything, and hoarding everything in their own corner of the map. We dont do this and we own the server, so I believed that this was an alright reason to kick them and allow our players to have fun again. Like litterally, i went to their camp and they had like all the vehicles and 30+ tents filled with everything. I myself, have one vehicle, and I park it in a town when I go to bed, so someone else can have fun with it. Sorry if this is against the rules, but honestly, if they want to ruin everyone experience on our server, they can just spend $40 and buy their own for all I care. Thanks, Goliath.

Time is always a limited resource. And vehicles are, too. That's the basic problem of application of moral values. A lot has to do with assuming the "most likely" circumstances in order to be able to do any action at all.

Yes, it absolutely must be the same server. This goes for vehicles too! A great idea is to join a clan with a permanent server that has great ping for you. Good luck!

I would love to see DayZ done well in CryEngine3. However i think these would be the reasons Rocket won't change engines Cost. Using a different engine will require Rocket and his team to lose profits towards the engine creator. Whereas, where he currently stands with Bohemia, he quite possibly may get permission to use the engine without cost (as he has generated so many sales for them, and its win win in their situation). Time. It will take a lot more time to change the game to a different engine. However much i am sitting here dreaming of setting up my tent and raiding the town on the coast shown in these demonstrations, im afraid it won't really happen. It will take a LOT of time, and require a lot more work then Rocket has even put in to get DayZ into alpha with ArmA2. Also with the upcoming ArmA3 engine, with new physics and graphics, and an already working DayZ mod on it, theres not much gain for Rocket to change engines. Feel. I do think it is possible to recreate the feel DayZ has atm, in a different engine. In my opinion the main feel comes directly from the hardcore style player interactions. Theres no "go here to trade with people". Your always stressed, paranoid, and expecting to run into other survivors / vehicles, and when you finally do, your shocked, overjoyed, and scared all at the same time. That is primarily due to the raw nature of the game, and is recreatable, it is not the ArmA engine creating this, its the mods style, and the community. However much we, and I, would love to see this game make full use of the beautiful CryEngine (that DOES run better then the RV engine), im afraid it won't happen by Rocket's team. The only hope we have is a 3rd party creating a 'DayZ Clone' or us as a community getting permission of Rocket to create this ourselves. Without that dedication from the community, your gonna have to bite your lip and stick through the flaws RV has. TL;DR I would love to see DayZ in the CryEngine, though due to numerous reasons for Rocket and his team, it most likely will not happen. The only chance of it happening is if the community or another game developer creates a 'DayZ clone' with or without the permission of Rocket.

I can actually confirm we had unknowingly recruited a member that was using Hacking Software to spawn helicopters & cars, like some of you mentioned about the vehicles and the helicopter crashing and restarting ect. Hacking member was banned from all conduits of OM6 around three days ago. I was unable to ban him on the server however. I have been extremely busy with course work and have not had time to play DayZ recently, and I have not died in around 14 ingame days. I cant also believe how imbecilic and bias you could be to possibly pinpoint hacked vehicles on myself when I can barely even afford to keep the server up. I heard some of my members speaking of the chopper incident, the hacker who had spawned it was driving at that point and his game crashed killing everyone onboard, this was only a few hours before he was banned.

me and weedman and cas were in sco 60.we ran out of fuel.and we all went out to get some at kabanino.cas on his wee bike went back to our wee bus.and seen 2 vehicles at our happy bus :) there was 4 of them one was the admin. we have been playing on there server for a cpl of days now.i cas started shooting at them.and killing one.then we got no message received.and the 4 who where at our happy bus was in the lobby when we got that message server went down and did not come back up and have been told the server is still down.the screenshot only show two of them one being legendary fox who is the admin.time that it happened including your timezone.about 12.40am GMT

Server: GB#00 Multiplay Bretts server When: 00:25 23/07/2012 What happened: Ok, so my 'clan' as it were, had a nice little camp hidden at skalka up in the north, we had 6 vehicles, and about 12 tents. It got raided, all the vehicles (bar one hylux with a missing wheel) gone along with all the rare weapons. We thought fair enough, lets pack the tents and move somewhere else. Well those tents were found the next day. Again, thought fair enough, someone else found it. So this evening we find a battered old hatch back, and we search for all of our old stuff, we find it and we move camp yet again. 2 hours later, a guy logs in with the damaged atv we left at the camp, drives up to our new camp (that had been there for half an hour) gets off the quad with all of us shooting him, and continues to kill 3 of us and logs off. I personally put 3 rounds into his body and 4 in his head. I had an L85, even had time to reduce the zeroing. No way in hell could any of that been legit.

Re: vehicles and loot I've experienced this just RUNNING into a town, you're going "too fast" for the server to register you're there and to start spawning items. Fix is just to back away about 100-120m from the town or building and slowly approach and loot will have spawned. Very annoying but yet another bug that we don't know when it will be fixed.

Hey guys. Something disgusting have been happening these days. Me and my clan been playing on a server and made a camp. It wasn't the best and surely not the greater, but we had 4 vehicles(Bus, Motorcycle, UAZ, ATV), and suddenly the server we was playing became victim of a hacker attack. Since yesterday when me and I think all the players on the server got teleported to the International Airfield the server has been attacked. Today, my friends were playing on it and our camp got heavily attacked by a hacker, he exploded all our Vehicles and tents with satchel charges I think, but what matter is that we lost everything, all our tents got emptied before the attack by someone we really don't know who is. But what matter is that one of my friends(he asked me to report in here since he doesn't speak english) says and trully believe that on, if not the only one, hacker on the server was the Admin. Since I can't confirm this, it is more a supposition than a afirmation. What he was saying is that on the 2 times he got killed, a msg appeared on his screen saying something like: "XXXXX* killed(Friendly Fire) - YYYYY". (Note*: the XXXXX matched the admins name, and I won't say ithere, so, if a forum admin or anybody who is really responsible for this kind of stuff want it,I send the name via PM) (Note: the YYYYY is my friends name) So, I don't know if the poor guy had his CD-Key spoofed, or if it was really him, but it is strange and isn't the first time I saw a admin or somebody with the RCON pw hacking a server. strange as it is, it is each time making me give up on this game since everytime we conquer a lot of stuff or a hacker comes and destroy(yes, it wasn't the first time) or a bug fucks us.

i just dont think people understand how rare works. even if an as50 spawned once every 100k loot piles, it could still spawn thousands a times in one day, in the last interview rocket said they passed 700k players, with 150k avg players at any one time, so you figured with 150k players in the game, even rare items will be found, and items dont generally just get lost, importent ones stay in circulation. once that as50 is looted, it will likely be forever circulating between players. rareity is a dimishing return, unless you hard cap it like vehicles (which i would never see happening) there is no way to keep an item rare forever. eventually they will be more and more common.

Yeah it's been happening to me, only to find out that the Admin was probably with his clan looting our tents/vehicles and passworded the server to prevent us from getting on makes it worse. But no one really is doing much about this.

hey there^^, 1. the military flashlight is gloomier then the normal flashlight (my opinion) and thats kinda weak, we kicked our military flashlights out for the normal one cuz if u get to close to zombies u still have to turn them off anyways so it dosnt rly matter (still my opinion) 2. i rly like the night but even with brightness etc. turned up u cant see shit, im out (in rl) with the dogs every night and i can see ppl and trees etc. up to 100 meters (330 feet) in a clear night and in dayz u cant see anything... we tried to travel without flashlights on and we lost each other every minute or so... it kinda sucked balls cuz we knew every potential sniper in the hills could simply spot and shoot us. 3. i would like to change my main weapon to a hatchet cuz sometimes zombies get agro on you in a big city and u cant start shooting so u have to run out and try to shoot them out of the city... that gets me kinda mad cuz u wasted 30 mins or something to get to ur point and bam u r back to the basics... 4. i get rly pissed atm cuz we were traveling (with our weapons) through 11 deer stands, bor, drozhino, the south part of zelenogorsk, the green hill mountain and the sosnovy pass without getting any new ammo for our weapons, idk why but its rly rly boring like this cuz we have 7 rnds for my remington and 14 for his double barrel shooty... so we rly dont have any ammo to get into pvp or pve (what gets me to the next point)... 5. we are rly unlucky with our loot (our travel route: kamenka, komarovo, bor, drozhino, zelenogorsk, and 15 deer stands and 5 barns (i tried to loot 1 of them 4 times to get some stuff) and we only got: some food, (found) like a million hatchets, a water bottle (im glad for that :D) an alice pack, an czech backpack, a remington, some sodas, bandages, heatpacks and painkiller... NO matchmaker, binoculars, gps, map, watch, compas, hunting knife, snipers, steel bolts (he carryed a crossbow for 2 hours before he kicked it out), pistols, smoke grenades, grenades, cars (vehicles).... we play for 8h straight now and we r rly fast with traveling but it rly gets the moral down if u sneak through a horde of zombies and the only things u find r piles of wood, hatchets and empty tin cans... i think they have to fix or change something there cuz we get rly bored atm... thanks for listening and sry for my bad english (i do have the perfect face-saver: im german :D) greets, kaito PS: thats all my opinion! :3

So yanno you go a couple days with your server up and its all good, then suddenly in the wee hours of the morning just as the sun is cresting over the Chernarus horizon, all the vehicles on the server suddenly teleport to a single location....and in 5 minutes three unknown names on the server have teleported to locations like Skalisty Island the middle of no where wilderness north of Vybor, and down to Chernogorosk and killed everyone you have in your team speak including several people that weren't. You attempt to recover from the situation and find multiple buildings around the server where you could potentially enter a building near the coast has for some reason spawned nearly ten meters of tightly packed wire fencing, sandbags and tank traps in a nearly geometrically accurate pattern. All of which seems to have occurred in the space of a few minutes. Nice job there BattlEye....seriously. Other than pulling GUID's and reporting them.....what are we supposed to do? You can't stop this crap from happening, you can't see it coming before it occurs. We can't lock the server...thats a given, and we can't divert a hack in progress until its pretty much over. Oh and more fun, no matter how many times we restart the server all that script spawned area denial stuff comes back with every server restart, regardless of how many times we remove it. Yanno we're already paying for the server, and we're not asking for safety from people playing the game straight, but theres no way to detect a hack in use til BattlEye has updated to counter it, and then....surprise surprise all the hacker does is change the memory addresses in use on their hack and the hacks are back. We definitely love playing the game when everyones playing straight, death is acceptable, dying cause a group of people can teleport to every location on the server with active people in it and kill everyone there with next to no effort is not acceptable...and to be honest it sucks to be paying to allow people to do it. Kick them, ban them, they just come back under a different IP and start over, so the server admin, the poor sap having to pay for everyones fun has to go pull the server logs, parse the data for GUID's and ban the GUID's...when hey, would be nice if the guy footing the bill could play, rather than have to do data analysis simply to deal with a situation that has already occurred and the damage is already done. Is there some kind of centralized server admin resource that has an up to date list of GUID's we can just add to our ban list? Our host service doesn't seem to keep one.

Zombies are spawning in non-spawn areas, running as players would run not as zombies run, logging in i get instantly crippled/hurt, people have experianced random death with no reason known. Again for the 3rd day in a row everything I pick up has been taken away from me by hackers. Everything in all my tents, and all of my vehicles are gone. The other day they were dropping vehicles on people to kill them. I was seeing rabbits with player names. Some players had become invisible. The cheating has gotten to the point that nobody can even leave the beach without being killed or crippled by random hackers.

Right, so not to be a dick but here goes... You dont like how the DayZ devs treat you so you decide to protest. Kewl, fight the power! Now how will you do this? Did you get a petition going? did you have other servers go down with you? Did you make some kind of stink so that the devs even knew what was going on? No? Hmmm... So your server goes down. Did you tell players what time this would be happening? Nope. Then 24 hours later as people are waiting for the server to go back up, it does not. 30hours? +/- is not 24 hours. When i FINALLY get back in the server there are no tents or vehicles. Ran around for 90mins from spot to spot as there is lots of my teams stuff on that server. nada. Now one of my friends has made it on and says the vehicles are there. well that great except that the off-road packed with high end shit is gone. most likely found by some n00b running up the coast. all of this and when i try to connect i get connection failed. So awesome protest man. You did an excellent job of shitting on people who use you server and thats about it. *props* And thanks for being active on the forums during your protest. I mean how much effort does it take to post a reply?

I was on the beach with my buddy DJMikey when someone teleported behind him and I shot the guy that teleported behind him. Our friends were talking about being teleported to a location and killed and then DJMikey disappeared and was killed then I was teleported to a spot with a ton of bodies on the ground and killed. DJMikey wasn't the hacker he was my partner. We were taken away and killed and kept getting griefed after ever respawn. My name is TTL>>Z UPDATE: All of our gear is gone, everything including all our tents and vehicles. FUN TIMES!!!!

Looks killer guyz.... I have to talk to my buddy but I think we would love in as well.. WE have alot to offer... fully geared with a small camp of our own... we would be giving up our vehicles and camp on our server but would bring what gear we could... Check back shortly after talking with Azzmar..

Hi, if anybody wants to play on EU servers over the next few weeks add me on skype @ david_phippard just generally looking for people to help achieve goals in dayz - better gear/vehicles/new areas etc

yeah but since vehicles are "so rare" (- a noob) this would quell all the complaining on the forums. I mean, a shopping cart is kind of like a vehicle right?

Hello. During playing on the server DE211, my friends and I got a camp. Our vehicles, guns and magz are has been stolen and we decide to search our stolen vehicle. and we found them ! But when we arrived, one player were here and we decide to kill him and we killed him ! But 3 seconds after, the server crashed and, at this writing message, the server is disable and we think that the host (the player who i've killed) are moving all vehicles/tents and we think that the server name has changed for that he move all his stuff without being deranged by other player. Then, the server always change time. Before the server down (11:27h PM in real life) the time server was 11h/ 12h AM. But when we play on morning, the server time moved to Night/ Day/ Night/ Day. My friends and I think that the host changed time server for avoid that player seek for his camp (because no player likes to play at night) and in day for that he can play !

should generally be harder, but also more balanced. F.e. broken bones & getting knocked out can be a 1-hit kill, which is just annoying imo. Zombies seem to be near deaf, but can see you from a mile away. Healing is too hard without bloodpacks or meat, and too easy once you got them. Vehicles are way too hard to get. And so on..
