What happened to the OP was clearly systematic, but its impossible to say if its cheaters. A group of guys who found your camp would typically just take all they can carry, load up a vehicle and take off before anyone could catch them. Some groups of guys might just be malicious enough to want to destroy everything and scouring your server, hard to say. You can detect alot of the hacks when dealing with cheaters (bullets don't kill them, exotic non-Day Z weapons, nuclear missiles streaking through the sky etc.) but there is just no way for an observer who is not looking at the code to tell if someone is using a show vehicles or show players hack. In some ways the subtle hacks like that are even more destructive.... Anyway, sounds like you were getting too comfortable in your stocked camps, should be fun to get geared back up. As a side note, if the hacks that allow cheaters to find other players, tents, and vehicles are dealt with first, then it will make life extremely hard for hackers to find victims, mitigating much of the damage they are able to do in a period of time. If I was in charge of security, the locator hacks and nuke hacks would be the first priorities.

Ander Said >> Over the last couple of days I've banned a number of players who have: - teleported - spawned vehicles - teleported to invalid locations - respawned and spawned items Just cause BE doesnt catch all cheats doesnt mean we dont see this kind of abuse in the database. Your bans are non-revokable on DB level. An additional ignoble award goes to players with racist names or acting maliciously (spamming or similar). Relax, this game is still under alot of development alot of people are comparing it to a finished game... They roll out patches faster then alot of games do. Give them credit then giving titles "Ruined By Hackers". They are doing fine and at a very fast pace in my eyes

My entire playthrough tonight, I ran into two hackers. One hacker broke everyones leg on the server (Or just my group, but I know it was a hacker, everyone dropped at exactly the same time and no shots were fired) The second time, a hacker teleported everyone on the server up into the air near the coast and we all fell to our deaths. This brings the total hackers I've run into up to 4. This is the closest together I've ever seen them. I've been playing DayZ for over a month now. I have easily over 200 hours on it, maybe more. It's not as common as people make it out to be. Sometimes you get bad luck and run into a lot of them, it sucks. Sometimes they nuke your home server with tents and vehicles and you lose it all and it sucks. Oh well. Chalk it up to bad luck, forget about that pathetic hacker and move on. He'll only ruin your enjoyment temporarily, you'll get back into the game and forget all about it while he has his hollow, meaningless "fun" with the game that he won't even remember a week from now.

yeah its a glitch, right now there arent any vehicles on due to this glitch, we will restart somewhere this afthernoon (Im friends with the admin) anyway, if you want to talk to the admins yourself 85.236.100.85:15767 thats the teamspeak channel EDIT: teamspeak channel is opptical.co.uk

Day 2: Throughout the course of a week a group of nomads (My friends and I) have played on this server. After about two days we had an encounter with a man with a full Gillie suit and a very powerful weapon... After colliding our Sedan with his ATV he jumped off and ejected going about 50mph (or whatever measurement), Then the hacker proceeded to run full speed at my friend and I taking several shots to the head from a M24 and Saw. The man did not die and finished up his run by gunning us down by running right next to us... We thought it may have been lag or such but then later once our bodies were recovered we saw the same hacker in Cherno. He was killing everyone in the town and spawning vehicles for his own pleasure... Thus again the hacker killed me by riding up to me in the woods on a motorcycle and gunning me down... After respawning YET AGAIN I proceeded to my dead body to find the hackers motorcycle laying on the ground... After getting onto this motorcycle I learned that it was invincible... I ran into buildings and fences and it would just fix itself up. That all happened during day 2 of our 5 day stay... Day 5: On the last day of server US 136 we found a blue van (hippy van). After going to a factory to fix some damaged parts my friends and I (a group of about 4) were all turned into Cows. On all of our screens we could see eachother as farm animals and such... We knew this was the beginning of a bad day so we all logged off and came back 5 hours later... Once we got back we were surprised by the fact that our characters WERE SWIMMING UNDER THE GROUND and all of our equipment and backpacks were gone (Due to the water effect of drop rate). I would have posted screenshots on this post but the steam overlay wasn't available and I had no other way of capturing the screen (Prt Scr wasn't working). I wrote this post just so that maybe this server could be watched more carefully for hackers and such because it cost my group many items, 50 cal snipers, coyote backpacks, gps, rangefinders, night vision goggles and such.

do vehicles randomly generate free gear every server restart? if no then that gear has been worked for and will alter player interactions becasue of fear of loss/need to restock toning back some of the death matching a beach slaughter if yes then fine temp remove that too, or alter the loot carrying ability to parts and fuel only its not about advantage, but if it were, real advantage thats worked for . your clan spend 3 days farming the crap otu of the airfield and taking on all comers to the gear gratz ^^ you got the gear it was woked for current advantage, 1 guy stuck some nvg's in a tent saves it removes and waits for server restart, takes second pair out waits for restart, dupe a couple of tents and its a mass production military grade factory in tent sized bundles

CONTACT INFORMATION : Skype : Hydrilex About Us We have just started as a bandit group, We have just started out currently our main goal is to thrive and live off the land without going to most towns to do this we will need many water bottles and guns. From there you can live off of the next mans can of beans and, the poor moo cows roaming the wastelands of DayZ. Currently our main goal is to find a great spot for picking off lucky people coming from the two main towns/cities. If new people wish to meet up with us there will be a procedure in which we make sure you are not going to bandit and steal from your own group. We are going to be playing bandit, (killing anyone that isn't us) and, hopefully having a few laughs when doing it. We are looking for people that can joke around, but be serious when needed to be.

Seems to me that your moaning because you can't find vehicles and walking the map bores you. Maybe find a new game kidda :)

I believe since it's just classified as loot that it will despawn if you leave the area. Plus it has no "Save" feature like vehicles and tents do so it wouldn't get through a server reset which happens frequently. Don't know why you'd want to hide the backpack. It can hold a lot of shit.

Unfortunately chances of hacks being used to find players/objects are quite high. I think there was even a stream of some guy and his friends using some of the hacks to find vehicles. Its stupidly simple to use and BattleEye has a huge blind spot. Yet even without hacks, its quite common to stumble over tents and saved vehicles if you take the time and make it your top priority on your DayZ to-do list. So to the OP - just quit thinking that your camp is safe from being plundered no matter how hidden you think it is or how long it hasn't been touched. It will be found - either by honest players or unfortunately by hackers, the latter circumstance is something that clearly needs to be dealt with. As long as its just a mod for DayZ and all servers are public it will be a recurring thing. It is well known that public ARMA 2 servers are prone to cheaters and players using hacks.

It's hard to give up a Ural... we don't place tents anymore. We were already geared up from players we killed when they attacked our camp a week or so ago. I know we should just get rid of the truck...but come on...not very often you get one. I'd be cool if they reset all vehicles to spawn locations though. Like I said, we are not intentionally duping anything and most items that have duped were left in whatever vehicle they were in. I don't care about duping items...it takes fun away from the game. We just want the stupid Ural. I get what you're saying though. The only thing I see as a positive way to use this is to go and distribute gear randomly along the coast. Edit: Another reason we destroyed the GAZ...it was red (stands out)...and goes slow as balls. We weren't going to use it and we knew the people we took it from were disconnectors...screw em'.

Yeah I'll take an ATV for my ghillie suit. cept. arn't vehicles server dependant? oh snap.

Beware of US 104 (Wolvesofwar.org) Was with my usual 3 man squad last night on 104.. we are running through the trees and get separated west of Klen mountain w. of Khelm. I am in the treeline just west of the gas station there, they are in the trees south. They call out vehicles that are coming up the road from the south. Guys in the vehicles stop right next to their treeline, get out, and one shot both of them. I am in a prone position under a bush, far enough away that I don't hear the shots or the vehicles. Both continue up the road a few minutes later, and I watch a blue troop carrier ride past into the distance towards NE airfield. The 2nd vehicle however stops (I think it was an atv) almost exactly parallel to me. I see the guy get out, and train what might have been an AS50 directly on my position. I aborted out right then and there. I'm not exaggerating with any of this account. There is absolutely no way someone in a car should have seen me in my position, which was at least 100m west of the road in a wooded treeline. The two guys that got popped had a very similar thing happen last night to them and chalked it up to a good ambush, but now we are thinking that it was the same guys. Same MO. No screenshots or video to prove it, just wanted to share. Not exactly sure what the fun in playing like that is. The draw of the game is fear and with that kind of exploiting, where's the fear?

There has been some serious DESYNC issues with this latest update. I am an administrator on US267 and we have been seeing vehicles just disappear mysteriously. It is possible that someone was shooting at you with no sound, this has been the case several times over the past few days as I've been firing an M107 and my partner could not hear a sound. I would recheck your tents today as it's possible they are still there due to the desync issues. If any hacking is suspected on US267 please email us at [email protected] and file a report so we can investigate, however, please ensure that you include usernames so we can scan the log. Thanks!

1. Your distance calculation was funny, and sets the tone for the whole post. 2. Your camps were on the edges of the map (maybe inset .5km here and there) -- this is my primary perimeter when I'm hunting for camps. Everyone plops their tent cities down here. When I find one, I note the position and move on. My team and I come back later to clean up. 3. Yes, hacks exist. Maybe someone used hacks to find your stuffs, but it's not guaranteed. You're not the first this has happened to (and won't be the last), but it doesn't take magical hacking ability to have done this to your team. My advice: Realize that tent cities with vehicles parked nearby are just waiting for a legit player (like myself) to find and pillage. Don't park any vehicles near your camps - if they bring heli's back those vehicle clusters will show up as bright red beacons of tear farming goodness. Also, don't set up camp near the edges of the map. It may seem like a good idea, but it only takes one man with a bicycle to trace along the edges to find your stuff. I can quietly cover the whole map perimeter on a bike in about an hour. Finally, distribute your stuff across servers, set up smaller one- or two-tent camps. This provides a hedge against hackers (or server nukes), and is a great way to help establish your team in other servers. It's not unheard-of that an entire server simply goes away, so having everything on one server is a risk in itself. gl, hf.

Lol once a month? You obviously don't know where to go or do not play on a populated server. I get all my gear from raiding tents/vehicles and having a 50 cal. to stop someone from driving off with there loot cache is very nice.

Don't forget there are vehicles in the game, and that's why I think they should stay in. Its really nice being able to stop a ural in 2-3 good shots.

just so you know all our gear came back on a restart, im not even bothered about any of the gear, vehicles etc it is mainly crap anyway. The point is, it was safe for weeks then all 3 got shot up and raided in the space of a few hours. Map hacks and people using the hacks where it draws a square around every player tells u there distance, every vehicle, every tent. Its reads it from the memory in game and battleye cant detect it. Id like to beleive we got stalked for 3 days by some other clan and they executed it perfectly and followed us for 3days to various camps, but i seriously doubt it when we travel on ATV's etc. Its not even plausable, it would be nice tho if that happened. But i assure you its hacks

To be fair, we wouldn't care much if we lost the gear man. We don't put anything in the vehicles, and or tents that we aren't fine with loosing. Currently we have 9tents, 1 V35 Civillian truck thats full of weapons, ammo and what not, 1 military UAZ, 2 White pickup trucks, 1 Tractor, 2ATV's, and we don't have room for it anymore, so we will most likely just blow it up, rather than letting some tent hunting kiddies who found theire way out of cherno for once find them :D Btw, the campsite is at 005004 @US128

I think the OP deserve the flack he's getting simply for his inability to express his idea in a simple and concise way, redirecting people to a lengthly explication on some download site, and then blaming them for not doing so. Nobody here is on you payroll dude, it's up to YOU to keep your audience listening, and you failed to do that. All i see is an extremely convoluted "solution" to the server hopping issue, which you obviously are very concerned with (and that's fine). But this approach is ridiculous. Have you forgotten how many bullets it takes to kill someone in this game? That's right, one. And you want to put automatic guns that fire on anyone "trespassing" what you believe is your property. Like we don't have enough peoples randomly firing at eachothers already. You could have suggested camo netting, buried crates, dismantling vehicles and all kinds of passive, furtive solutions but instead, i suppose you have this dream of making a fort that everybody know about and nobody can approach, to protect "your property". There is a reason why i personally am against things that recognise the player, it's because property rights do not exist in nature. If a player can take something, it's his as long as he has the means to keep it. The barb wires need a reasonable way to be bypassed, and so do any defence systems. I would love trip wire grenades and the like, as long as the wire is visible to a careful player.

Closed of area, that aren't connected to the hive, so no ghosting into it, nor dc'ing to loose zombie aggro, or skip pvp aggro? Fantastic Finally a part with zombies that might actually be difficult? I would LOVE to see that. We need something besides playerhunting to do ladies and gents, and for me this sounds like a solid idea, if it just got finished properly that is. This would also be a way for Rocket to maybe introduce new weapons into the game? Example: XM8 from OA, G36C with Underbarrel Shotgun, Desert Eagle, PSG-1 Sniper Rifle with the chance of comming with a Silencer, (silenced sniper rifle takes 3shots to kill, but have no muzzleflare, and are as silent as the M4 SD) You could also introduce new Vehicles, and we NEED Camo netting for them aswell(pretty darn hard to hide a vehicle sucessfully), Lets say a repairable HMMMV, where you could stand in the gunner's post using your own weapon and fireing it? Perhaps a military oldschool motorbike with seats for 2 and a wagon on the side for a third passenger, like this one?(+1 For a picture of a rarebike WITH Lassie in it) That's just some of the things you could implement with an area like that. Thanks for reading this semi-combined post. regards, -z

id be more than happy if that was the case but i seriously doubt it, The amount of people hacking, looking for hakcs or wanting hacks for the game is out of control. Also the fact that they didnt take the vehicles, just 1 ATV was taken out of about 10 vehicles across the 3 camps. So i doubt it was more than 1 person that just got to the closest camp took as much as he could get on the atv then drove to the next and so on just taking the best gear he found at each and shooting up all the other vehicles and driving over tents. - which came back on a server restart anyway. All the vehicles need engine parts, fuel tank parts and wheels which tells me they were shot up but not completly destroyed.

Maybe it's bad luck. Maybe it's hackers - which would be bad luck. In either case, it's bad luck. Just pick up, dust off and give it another go. I'm sure they're working on tents. Vehicles are actually higher priority in my opinion but I have no doubt both will get some love soon enough. Patience kids.

Tell me where your base is and I'm sure I can get a few clans heading your direction to liberate that campsite, it's equipment and all those poor vehicles that haven't been driven. 7+ vehicles tells me you have nothing to do because you can't find something else to do. Sometimes, starting over is more of a relief than anything.

I have been thinking about what to do in DayZ now.. and the only conclusion is to kill other players. Military gear is too easy to come by, we have 7+ vehicles more tents than you can shack a stick at, and a want for .. well nothing.. apart from hunting for food and water. I have seen the post regarding bases and a possibility of a radio tower which would block a signal on a player spawning inside the broad cast area unless they had the security key perhaps. This made me think. What if the barracks and deer shoots only spawned ammunition (of all kinds) pistols and the occasional weapon.. However a basic weapon i.e. M4A1, AKs, or the M1014, and then only be a low spawn chance. Ok this would level the field.. Choppers would still give the odd high grade weapon..then I though well what do you do then? I started to think about ways to make a need for people to group up. One such though was a city, not like electo or cherny however, something along the lines of say, Atlanta from "The Walking Dead" TV show. Somewhere that was a MUST to go get the high grade items. Items like M4 SD, 50cal's, AK-74's or M16M203 along with the other items like NVG's and range finders entrenching tools and guns (M249/240). I understand that M16's and standard AK's are not high grade however compared to shotguns and pistols, they offer a bigger survival boost to yourself and your team. These places would be a military complex or a fortified base, hidden within a large tight city area were each building would spawn say 15-20 zeds, where, if you shoot you have to be organised as each unsilenced shot would attract well, your death if you didn't have enough ammo, or other players you can trust. You could have different sized "city's" so even random spawned survivors can group up and attempt to obtain something better than a double barrel. However, the high grade things were there for the larger groups of players that wish to put themselves in harms way to get the good stuff. Vehicles would not be able to enter the area, and to stop people running in and DC'ing you could have this "radio tower" jamming entry. Again this tower could also stop you from obtaining loot and dc'ing to escape the area, as your information is only updated outside the broadcast. So, 10 guys go into city, fight hard manage to make it to the military part loot the gear and then have to fight their way back, on exiting the area (instance) your loot is loaded up to the hive and you get to keep what you made it out with. You could also have it that if a player "dies" he is in a constant "knocked out" state however they get a chance for his group to drag him out the broadcast and administer first aid in order to keep him alive. Again there could be a Hospital which has high grade medical supplies that allow you to revive these fallen players, only inside the city areas as epipens will not do it. You could also make it that tinned food spawns only in high threat areas, or make food perishable, so you cant just horde it. i.e. raw meat last x mins/days, cooked meat last x amount longer. You could introduce twinkies, or other wrapped food that doesn't completely eliminate hunger so a constant need for looting is taking into account. that way bases set a long way out of towns in the forests have to be organised in order not to starve on the way out of camp or on the way back. These are just a few thoughts of mine which could make the game more interesting in the end game, again I understand these may not be to everyone's liking, I myself having no need for items in game would ready the challenge of being reset and having to hit a big city. (for those that will reply with "then go kill yourself, and respawn now" you need to go play pokemon and stop trolling) Please do add anything you think could enhance any of the ideas here, and also if you think of anything else. I will post an edit to this as an when I think of other ideas. I hope this is in keeping with your original idea of surviving Rocket. Keep up the good work guys.
