Friend checking in here! Totally happened. I thought i'd glitched out originally because I suddenly clipped through the ground and then was swimming for no reason. EDIT: I just signed on again to check our camp, helicopter is still there, most vehicles sabotaged and the ones that weren't are just plain missing. Then, as I was checking around, with no gunshots heard, I got killed. After that it was a spam of DJFruitbat was killed, so much so I couldn't even get the game to shut down properly. Now, i'm not sure if it's the same guy or not, from all appearances he had been booted as he wasn't in the players list any longer, and considering there was another hacker earlier, it's possible it was another one, or even the same one. No way for me to tell.

I don't mind sniper weapons in a game but I agree there are too many, there should be only a very small chance of finding a rifle and/or ammo for it. Since this game is not really about working together (probably indicative of what would actually happen in any major crisis) close combat weapons should be the prominate feature. Red/Green dot scopes should be about all the sniping this games needs, at least people could potential have a chance to raid a town such as cherno/elektro. Zombies need to stop running 5 feet after getting killed. This game is lethal enough as it is with glitches and campers/clanners/admins without having a zombie get head shotted but still run at you several feet and still get a hit on you before dropping to the ground. Killing a zombie should be instant, head shot should man drop straight down, not run a few steps then fall over. I personally would like to see the crowbar be of use. like I saw another player post, put the canteen on the tool belt, put the crow bar on the tool belt. Can someone please find a way to allow a player to switch from rifle to side arm to item in the tool belt without unequiping a weapon. Doors should be able to get nailed shut or even locked if a tool kit is used and unlocked by someone with a tool kit. If a tool kit is not availabe then a crowbar could be used to pry the door open. Maybe even do the same with vehicles. I'm all for barbwire and tank traps, but again will someone make it so they keep zombies out too? I know zombies are not phased by razor cuts but having them walk through obsticles players can't at all is just garbage. Again its bad enough to find these things blocking my way only to discover a zombie is unhindered by either obstacle. Perhaps adding the ability to tear them down (zombies attacking objects til they are destroyed would work). Then maybe adding obstacles to a house would be useful to create a safe haven at least temporarily. I'd personally like to see it possible to barricade a house and windows with wood (another crowbar use to take down). Zombies could then attack those areas to destroy them to get in? I'm guessing that this option has HIGH capacity for abuse but something that sounds like it should be in the game. Imagine how much noise it would be to break into a boarded up house? Once zombies see players trying to break in some zombies might stick around and try beating on a house and break in too. If tank traps, bear traps, and barbwire are only going to affect players I personally think they should be taken out of the game. I am very sick of seeing barbwire abuse by server hopping ghosters. This is not a suggestion other than to fix a problem, but I like the idea of getting a vehicle. I know that there are only a certain number of vehicles on a server but its really annoying that people take them and hoard them away. Doing a grid by grid search can net a treasure trove but there has got to be a better way, my thought maybe each player id can have a key to ONE vehicle, sure maybe it needs repairs, maybe it can be broken into but only one player can have a specific vehicle so at least those who are willing to be dedicated to a server or several can still have a chance at a vehicle, even if its just a bicycle. Speaking of bicycles, I love them, but seriously they should NOT be doing 40 - 70 miles an hour (sorry kilometers). They should be faster than running and being able to travel overland at a good speed silently is awesome but seriously they go crazy fast right now. Can someone also find a way to change the player skins, i'd at least like to look different from others in our group. Along with that, can nametags get totally eliminated from Dayz altogether, there is NO reason for those being on. And while i'm on the subject, bring back bandit skins. The heart beat is annoying AND useless. Killing bandits should not be murder and frankly i'd like to start grouping with true bandit hunters, i'm tired of co-oping only to get killed by some jackass who thinks a guy running with a hatchet needs to be shot. That is probably all for now, hope someone reads this :)

the night started as usual, spawn in camp, gear up, but something about today was quite peculiar.... the vehicles were missing... i check in with the rest of the guys and it appears our camp was raided while we were away... :/ well, i dont care much for anything in this game, so i shrugged it off and decided to head south with a clan mate to pick someone up. since we dont have vehicles... it seemed we were going to walk. everything was normal, casually strolling through towns,deading zombies and looking for some quick loot... Things changed the second i walked on the bridge south out of vybor... i see someone run across the road, i crouch down and get ready "Probably some scrubs fooling around up north" as my friend finished his sentence, what appeared to be M240 fire, opened up on us... my heart jumped and i made a run for the safety of... under the bridge. There was no thought put into that initial thought... I then found myself...stuck under a bridge... realizing i brought 2 grenades with me from the camp, i threw them towards his last known location...hopefully scaring him, which would hopefully lead him to running away.,... was i ever wrong one of them came down to check if we were still there.... he killed me, but my friend killed him shortly afterwards, the rest of the fight was narrated through teampseak.. They were a group, were guessing of atleast 4... we deaded 2 of them... then my friend ran off.. what really surprised me was that they didn't combat log... i always find myself in a firefight, and when it gets hairy, they log... but not these guys, not when the first shots were fired, not when explosives were used... not when some people were deaded... it was fun my hat is off to you, Clan [A-A] on US 386

bicycle, unlimited health, silent, takes you anywhere faster then most vehicles...

The AS50 is even more powerful...It has the same damage as the M107 but it's quieter, less recoil which can allow you to get back on target much faster, and it does more damage to vehicles than the M107..

I play on full'ish servers and in the last few weeks there have been at least one hacker on each of the servers with anything from spawned in weapons/vehicles to the last few days of teleporting people into blocked in areas and killing them. Yes, its out of control and if you claim to have seen no hackers or very few, stop server hopping on empty servers then you will encounter them more often than not.

Hi, We (The rescue team, a group of friends from france and belgium) are playing on the BE1 server for some weeks now. This server is stable, restart every 4 hours, and always have the latest version installed. However, it seems like a big problem is ruining the game here, all is almost in the title, except details, let me explain. We've got some camps (tents) and some vehicles, for the team roam sessions. This afternoon, monday 07/23, Slivo, a team member, was near Olcha, 500 meters straight north in the forest, to get our hidden bus and roam. A player, we haven't got no name, was trying to leave the place with the bus. Instantly, the fight begun, Slivo used a plenty M4 charger on the player, directly through the bus window, and then 2 chargers while the player was breaking the wheels outside (Yes he get out of the bus, under fire, and tried to immobilize the bus). At this point, you just think "Slivo just has the baddest aim ever, with the M4", but wait, first, Slivo is sure to have killed this guy 4 times, and secondary, here is the best part. Not even dead, after a total of 4 clips used by Slivo, the player turn a little bit, and then, SHAZAM, a UH-1H Huey ( The helicopter) popped in the field where he was aiming. Unfortunatly, the player get into the 'copter as a passenger, and Slivo took the pilot seat ! Slivo landed off, and stopped in stationary flight, to talk with the cheater. Slivo asked why he did this, how he did etc ... The answers weren't clear, not even in english, Slivo isn't sure. The player disapeared fast, and Slivo brought the Copter and landed near a camp, North-East of the map (hidden and quiet). Whitecrowz, another team member came. Slivo and him were talking about what just happended, when a single bullet killed Slivo (still on pilot seat). Last but not least, Whitecrowz saw every player on the server appear just beside the 'copter, all grouped. Everybody was shooting, Whitecrowz died, end of the story. What happened is suspect, we just decided to move and blacklist this server. However, if someone is cheating on BE1, or maybe the owner(s) of BE1, he(they) deserves a ban. Feel free to post feedback, if you experienced similar issues, on this server ! Regards, Uto

Those complaining about having to log into "15" different servers to find a good one, please try and make a server(or 2) your constant home. While playing the game the next best thing to live for after your friends is your "server bound" items, your tents, and especially vehicles. If you are jumping from one server to another you cant enjoy the vehicle experience. Things to live for: 1. Brother in arms next to you 2. server bound items(tents, vehicles) 3. The experience 4. not my gear, I can gear up in an hour after death and be a force. Spawn in Kamenka and want to be in Berezino, have your buddy drive your GAZ/ATV/motorbike down to pick you up in 10 minutes flat. Vehicles are server bound, so join 1 server and try to get a vehicle or 5 to use on a regular basis, not hoard.

* LU252 (my server) * Between 13:00- 15:00 GMT * Hackers teleported all vehciles off the map and killed any players unlucky enough to be in one of those vehicles. My groups vehicles dissappeared luckily no one was in any of them at the time, other players who I do not know reported this also on our forums, they also said players in the vehicles were killed by this person/people after they teleported all the vechles to them/off the map.

This^ Obviously, if someone is a threat I will kill them, but I much prefer robbing vehicles and tents (yes, I've learnt how to spot a trap the hard way :l).

We had a couple vehicles do the same thing. Just recently our V3S just reappeared with all our gear. too bad the server we have a bunch of stuff is having problems with hackers and stuff. (the usual, supply boxes and teleporting people onto buildings and aimboting.)

I'm starting to regret buying ArmaII: CO for this mod. All these changes are pointless and will make the mod worse. Respawn button disabled ? Great, now we can't join our friends anymore and will have to suicide by being killed by zombie. Is this change useful ? Not really Bans over login/logout ? I often disconnect/reconnect to servers when I'm looking for a good server (and good servers are quite rare). Will I have a low reputation because I'm looking for a server ? Or even a timeout ? Probably yes. Will this change fix the problem with people disconnecting to avoid death ? Probably not. At the end, all I can see is these changes will cause problems to honest players, not to exploiters/cheaters. Talking about cheaters, what changes are gonna be made in this update to detect and ban them ? The answer seems to be "none". Because for a reason I don't get, clients can ask ANYTHING to the server, and the server will accept. Spawing vehicles, weapons, tools ? Godmode ? Sure, no problem. But yeah, better blame people who are playing the game the legit way. Sure they are the cancer of the game, not cheaters. Please do not misunderstand me: I love this mod, I bought ArmaII only for it, and I hope rocket will start working on real issues next patch. But the changelog posted on the first topic is not what most people would like to see changed in DayZ.

Yeah I have had similar experiences too. Sometimes every tent+ vehicles disappear, sometimes just vehicles - woulda been great to figure out logic in it :D

I'm sorry, but you are gravely over-generalizing people who also do not have ALL day to play games. You seem to think that all gamers that are complaining about this aspect of the game are basically just "carebear" gamers, and need the game to basically hold their hands. Thus they MUST be the only players who can't stand this spawning issue. You couldn't be further from the truth, sir... especially for gamers like myself and those I play with. I understand that this game is meant to be hardcore, and is meant to be as realistic as a survival sandbox as it can get... and for the most part, it's right on the money! However, lets look at the game from a LORE standpoint. Why do people start on the beach with a backpack and anything in it? Where did all these survivors come from? If we were in an actual apocalyptic zombie situation, regardless if it was Day Zero or Day 1825 (5 years into it), do you truly believe that every single person would be starting their survival journey completely ALONE?!?!?! If you do, then you're a lost cause to any rational reasoning, regarding game lore, etc (IMO) Given this game has but only a few working vehicles... that means this isn't actual Day Z(ero), as on the day of outbreak, there would still be plenty of working vehicles! THUS, in such a situation, there would definitely already be "packs" of people formed and working together. Thus, why not allow them to spawn together in this game to allow that type of "LORE" into the game? The fact that every single person starts alone, on the beach, with a backpack and some bandages, is almost like saying that every single person was lost at sea (maybe due to a shipwreck), and that they just happened to make it to land alone... You see, there is plenty of LORE to think about, and plenty of ways to perceive this game in order to implement certain mechanics in order to make it jive with it's main objective of being a truly hardcore survival game! And if you want to go on about players being carebear, because they dislike not being able to spawn with friends... my friends and I (including my wife) all played Left 4 Dead 2 purely on Expert Realism mode! Playing games as hardcore as we can is what it's all about to us! But that doesn't mean that we want to spend a huge chunk of our gaming time simply GETTING TO EACH OTHER before we can actually begin to work together as a group! I can't put it any more eloquently! Tis my 2cents!

Its actually too bad for you guys. We would have been a good group to have as regulars on your server. We are active, don't hack and don't sit in Cherno sniping noobs. Too bad you cared more about your vehicles than good/fair gaming. I mean, we drove YOUR motorcycles up to your camp. You can see it sitting there in the video. At this point I could care less if you unban me. Your server is shit and was lagging bad anyways. The only good that might come of this is if Rocket realizes private servers are not the way to go in the long run. Hell, Id be happy to pay $5-$15 a month for official managed servers without BS like this.

is there a way to PROVE that a certain player is doing it though? do server logs record who/if someone spawns vehicles or uses a script? we have fraps video but all it shows is a helicopter flying/crashing and people being teleported

Hello there from the BE site ! 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. rgds LoK

Ouch, yeah I feel your pain. I thought my ATV was stolen too but none of the tents in camp were touched at all with some "high value" stuff in 2 tents but I didn't want to rule it out as being stolen, but just odd it reappeared with full inventory that it had just...out of place by about 200m or so. I so hope the vehicles get fixed because now I'm afraid to take it out on another ride lol.

Also agree with this, best option is to leave it in and hope that another reason for its use comes up. It should be similar to the Hatchet in that it does have alternate use besides being a clubbing weapon. Perhaps Crates or containers that can be wedged open with a crowbar or used on locked vehicles to gain forced entry

to qoute my post, "-id love to have npcs guarding vehicles and other lootable places"... where did i say i wanted a babysitter?

Okay this is my first report but not the first time i got killed by someone in godmode. I was between 6 and 7 am UTC+1 at the 23.juli on DE 648 "Here is your van" (there are 2 DE 648 servers!) I logged in via Six Launcher which promissed the server was protected. But apparently Battleeye wasn't enabled. So i don't know how much i'm in the right when i say i got wronged since there was more then one cheater on this server. First i entered and got killed by someone teleporting in front of me. Eventhough i shot a whole clip into him he didn't die. Instead he taunted me via voice chat and killed me. I had fraps off during this but i got back in and recorded some footage. The godmode cheaters name was "dillon3600" What happened: Day got changed to night. Several vehicles got spawned around the map, also ammo chests with grenades or Rocket launchers ... i only saw the explosions everywhere. I also recorded an "Insta Kill" Not sure if it was via command or what ever. The "You're dead" screen appeared and i wasn't even injured. I don't know if my appeal is legit so i'll upload the videos if someone replied. I lost my hope in getting my gear back anyway.

Here is the 4 minute video of us just seconds after we find your camp. I started fraps thinking about making a video of us stealing these vehicles, as we'd never had a van before. I stopped fraps because I was really far away at that point, waiting for Price, Garful and Atropa. But once the shootout started, the last thing on my mind was to start fraps again, unfortunately. So here we are in this video. This is just as we got off the motorocyle we stole from you when you came back down the highway. And you can hear Atropa say he put an AS50 in one of our tents. Not sure why you can't see any of us in your logs, we were on your server all day.

would love to have some npc guarding vehicles and other lootable places...

Good patch, but sad to see that tents aren't fixed. Which means tents won't save items, just lost all our stuff and tents after server restart... I also like to see autosave and tents/vehicles.

Correct, by end game I mean: you have Coyote/NVG/GPS/range finder. Vehicles: hoarded, stocked. You have a bunch of guys either chatting on TS, or just "at camp" not doing anything.
