I rarely get killed. I'm always out driving loud ass vehicles around. I must drive 40km in this game a day and walk another 15km. Yet I almost never die. When I do it's almost always to bugs. People have no reason to complain. If someone wants to complain about bandits they need to go play Pokemon or something.

I figured I'd throw in my own little thought since everyone loves to throw the "Rules" around all the time on what you can and can't do. (While also digging this mod deeper and deeper into its grave) Taken from http://dayzmod.com/f...ns-are-abuseing Now I will tell you why, in very many ways - This arguement is the stupidest thing you can throw out there. As you can see, there are many rules that are being "Laid down" - DCing not being one of them. Because of this, everyone seems to believe it's within their right to do so. Now let me go over the list of things that aren't on this list along with ghosting/battle disconnecting - I mean, it's not on the list so it must be fine right? Spawning Gear, Vehicles, Weaponry. Using ESP/Aimbots. Teleporting with .50 cals. Nuking Elektro/Cherno. Spawning Goats with .50 cals. Hacking a server and giving yourself server administrator powers. + Anything else that isn't on the list. Now that that little bit is done, let's go over the rules that are inplace and pick apart their meaning like everyone else does to validate their ability to battle-disconnect without punishment. BEWARE - The same restrictions apply to Non-Dev run servers! - IT MAY NEVER BE PASSWORDED - Forgot to add the "Except when updating/restarting for ping related issues" - NO OTHER KEYS OR MODS. NONE. PERIOD. - NO KICKING TO MAKE ROOM FOR 'FRIENDS' OR CLANMATES - Fair and is rarely being abused (And before you say everyone does it, realize that there are thousands of servers. - NO LOCKING THE SERVER - Again, forgot to add the "Except when Updating/restarting to resolve ping issues." - NO EDITING DAYZ/MISSION FILES - IT'S YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO UPDATE YOUR SERVER TO THE LATEST VERSION OF DAYZ -BATTLEYE MUST BE ENABLED - Love how this was added moment after the first report yet all the abusing/cheating players get one post three days down the road. - Minimum slot count of 40 (30 for countries where bandwidth is expensive i.e. developing countries) - Their are only two reasons why you, as a server owner, should ban a player on your server. Those two reasons are: Malicious talk, and racism. You may not ban a user for stealing your loot, killing you, spying on you, etc. - So Malicious ACTS don't count? So aslong as I don't type something racist/harrass anyone with text, I'm free to do it however I want - Just along as I don't type? - You may only kick for disruptive behavior (such as continued VOIP over side channel). But you may not kick due to race or language or because the person does something you do not like. - Battle Disconnecting is disruptive behavior, but people also go "Not on the rules so it doesn't count" And if not, IE; Now then, what I would like to see out of this thread? Not what I'm going to recieve I guarentee - But what I would like is a definitive response from anyone with the development team on what is freegame on cheating? What can we do to cheat but not be banned like is going on now? How much can we get away with because "It's not in the rules"? Because it seems like alot of people seem to have mixed emotions on the matter, why not clear it up here and now? Now that your mod is getting views, is the time to get professional and not leave these loop-holes in your rules - Especially if you're blacklisting people who pay to NOT have people go through your loop-holes.

Only a few days in but is it me or does it seem that those who play the game as its genre depicted seem to be the only ones who cant get anywhere (unless you have a team of 10 or so). Been trying to enjoy the game via patching vehicles, building bases, teamwork etc. and just when it seems everything is going well, BAM! a sniper shot from your routine supermarket sweep ends your life and makes it almost impossible to get back to where you were. I just feel that the game has been taken over by those who have no interest in zombies or even survivng but getting whatever amazing sniper rifle they can get (sometimes even in teams) and just ruining everyone else good time. I understand that bandits make the experience more challenging, but for a game with no real end goal i feel i am just wasting my time and wits playing this with no reward....at all. Anyone feel the same way, or have i just missed the point of this game altogether?

i'd like to see a DayZ map, fuck the old ArmA maps.. i'd suggest: a map where the cities are absolutely crawling with zombies, unsafe unless you're geared with silent weapons. a smaller map so that the population density is much higher a loot system that woks with the map ie. knives can be found in kitchens more vehicles (mainly pushbikes) wandering zombies and zombie hordes valleys/gorges with natural rock caves/formations i'm sure there are heaps of other great suggestions, but the best suggestion of all would be: why limit yourself to maps that are already years old? this game has attracted such a large community (very quickly) that surely there are multiple people who can helpe with map design and integration i like chernarus, but i think it's potential is very limited

Hey now, us girls can get pretty freaky just as much. I and a group of like.. 6-7 people(?) used to play together a lot, but the only girl in the group found the game too confusing and quit. I think the guys are pretty much done with the game as well. Can't seem handle losing vehicles all the time. And nah, I'm not really looking for a permanent group to play with. I just like to take a group from point A to point B as safely as possible.

Regardless of if they "found" the items or scripted them in themselves. It's their responsibility to restart the server the second they find these items to remove them from the server. We work with this practice on our server to try and reduce the numbers of hacked boxes and vehicles as fast as we can. I think as a server host, finding hacked stuff and then using it yourself is irresponsible and a sign of a bad server host.

So that's what I'm freaking doing. Several of us are wanting something like this so I decided to run with it. Its just getting started and I just opened up the board so there is a lot of work left to do yet and Ground work to be laid out and talked about like where our base of operations is gonna be and things like officers and moderators are needed so let me know if you would be interested in such a thing, but I feel this would be a great start to something really cool! Ladies and Gentlemen I preset to you The Anti-Bandit Brigade [ABB] http://antibanditbrigade.proboards.com What we are about Rocket (the developer of Dayz) Once said He's not gonna add consequences for killers or bandits. If we think something needs to be done about the snipers and rampant killers and bandits then we are gonna have to stand up and make the change for ourselves instead of simply complaining about it. Well That's exactly what the ABB plans to do. We are not here to complain, we are here to stand up and do something about it. The ABB is a clan focused on cleaning up the streets of Chernarus. The Police Force of Dayz if you will. Death Match and Player killing are running rampant in Dayz and its up to players to get organized and make a plan if we want to Lower the number of bandits and make a change. This change won't come easy as the population of Dayz keeps increasing, but that simply means there's always something out there for the ABB to do. Our missions will mostly center around patrolling the treelines/streets of the major cities and Airfields/Military zones while attempting to clean out the Bandits and Snipers that we come across. Wouldn't it be nice to make a run to the hospital and only have to worry about the Infected instead of the sniper in the trees shooting people at the hospital? We want to try to keep the hospitals safe for all who need medical supplies. We want to let new players and new spawned characters feel safe when they enter the streets in search of starting supplies. We want good supplies and vehicles to be shared amongst everyone on the servers not just the few organized bandits who take everything. We are the Anti-Bandit Brigade and We have had enough!! Rules of ABB All ABB members must follow these simple rules or they subject to being removed from the ABB. 1. We only shoot 2nd! All members of the ABB are required to not openly fire on anyone first. We are survivors not bandits. Bandits Kill on sight. Only fire your weapon on another player if for self defense. Yes this may get us killed from time to time but do not get discouraged. We can always re-supply and get back out there. Otherwise we are simply going to turn into the very people we are trying to fight against. 2. Confirm your targets. All members of the ABB must Confirm that your target is indeed a bandit before opening fire. A lot of times simply following rule number 1 will confirm your targets for you. Often times we may need to clear out snipers that are killing people but you must make sure they are bandits first! If your sneaking through the treelines looking for snipers and happen to spot someone Pointing their rifle towards town, crouched down in a sniper suit. You still have not confirmed they are bandits. Maybe they are simply covering their friends? . Wait for them to make that first shot at the people before you take them out. Assume nothing, Confirm First before making the kill. 3. Don't judge others from simple Hearsay or rumors. Just because Bob says that Susan is a bandit doesn't mean that she is. He could be just trying to get her killed because she called him a dork or something. Make sure to follow rule number 2. Bob says Susan is a bandit, he tells you where he last seen her at. Follow her around some, Let her see you, see if she opens fire first. Watch and wait, see if she kills someone else first. Confirm the target! Exception to this rule is if 3 or more people are confirming they are bandits. If Bob, Jerry and John all say that Susan is a bandit. We will count that as a confirmation. 4. Do not Steal from others unless banditry is confirmed. Stealing is something bandits do. We are not bandits. There is plenty of supplies in the world for us to find ourselves without stealing it. Do not run around simply looting random camps. However taking supplies from bandits is helping the cause and that's ok. Confirm that the camp belongs to a bandit or bandit clan first before taking its supplies and destroying it. 5. All members of ABB must place an [ABB] clan tag infront of their profile name This is pretty much the ground work for now. This is my first time running a message board so it may be a little sloppy till i figure everything out. Also feel free to check it out and give me suggestions or opinions or sign up to become a member even! Let me know what you guys think. Thanks, ThePunisher.

Uhh, yeah. I did. Which is the evidence that plenty of new servers are coming online since the number of players and players per 24h has gone up every day for a month. 92,000 new players in the past 4 days, and we still have empty servers. Exactly why the ones that get shut down because the server owners can't ban people for stealing their vehicles anymore won't be missed. Just go away quietly if you want to shut your server down. You're not that important.

Rebooted my server a bit ago (didnt make any changes to files or make any updates, just a simple reboot) and now my group's camp and vehicles are all gone. Rebooted again thinking it was just a bad reboot and still everything gone but the server time went from 10PM (night) EST to 12:30PM (day) without any changes being made to the server files.

But that also includes my tents, and vehicles. Obviously losing loot is something that happens, but it seems vastly uneeded that I either lose my tents or lose all my on-player gear.

I'm a representative of this server. Would like everyone to know that the server is brand new. We just got it running last night. Due to the new patch, things have been going missing, vehicles have not been spawning, etc. The server admin himself actually glitched and ended back on the south coast. Before the server went down, there was a message that went through informing everyone about the situation. Pretty much everyone left (including the members), you didn't. At this moment, the server still has issues. Vehicles are still not spawning for one. The server will be open to the public soon. Please be patient. As it is, people are far too eager to get servers blacklisted. I recommend you rein in those tendencies. It's difficult enough that we're paying for our servers, have little to no control over our them, AND have to deal with people who smear our server before it's even past it's infancy stage. We started this server ourselves because we were sicked of unstable servers and abusive admins. We don't want that reputation ourselves. Be patient and the server will be up and open. Hopefully by then, we'll have a server that's stable, fun, and FAIR for all.

I just installed Six Launcher and ran it. I verifyed it then I clicked quick game. I get as far as the loading screen ,after I have joined the server, with the bar at the bottom and the background is tanks and other vehicles. Right before it finishes the game crashes and gives me an error that says Bad Animation File Format in file 'ca\ah64\data\anims\kia_ah64_piolet.rtm' CAN SOME PLEASE HELP ME! I have been googling everything!

You keep your "gear" but you lose respect if you plan on server hopping. Tents and Vehicles are server-specific.

Vehicles are limited per server. So if someone repaired and took the chopper from its spawn then if wont respawn till it's destroyed or no one has interacted with it for a set amount of time. That's my belief.

Just thought id pop in here. It was actually a group of us from Wolvesofwar that you are talking about, none of us are cheating, we were just hauling around having fun in some vehicles we found, and happened to spot you guys.

Vehicles are a fucking pain to maintain, hide and then you have to hope they dont warp back, wipe its inventory or is just missing for a single restart. So you havent been missing out on much.. We are so indifferent when we find a car now that we often just put it out in the open for someone to find or if we have time we use it as bait.. :) Save yourself the heart ache untill you have a 2-4 man grp at least or untill the game comes out with either a stabile vehicle build or its standalone game

So my team was all happy, we found our two first vehicles. He headed up north, mount a camp, and start looting airstrip and stuff. This went on for two days. Well today, we went to do our daily routine, head to the factory, get our vehicles fixed, and start looting towns. But then all of us (parted by 2-3km) started to hear a lot of explosions (C4 stuff). We thought it was ok, so we kept playing. Until two of us went to the factory while the other 3 players stayed in the camp. There was an UAV parked there, with all the excitement we got sniped. All was fine (we went noobish style). But, 3minutes later the same gun type (M4 type with silencer) shot two of our friends in the camping. The third ran away and logged out for 5minutes. The two of us who got killed in the factory, respawned in Solnichy, so we ran in order to loot our corpses (fingers crossed). My friend went first, I approach the factory and see a guy (name: RegEnt) arming himself and getting into the factory. I warn my friend, and he prepares. The firefight starts, I loot my body (get my M1911), and I shot the guy. Surprise surprise, he alts+f4. We wait for him (since he doesn't leave the server) and when he joins the message appears that he dies. But somehow he doesn't spawn where we shot him. All went fine, we get our Jeep back, and head north in order to help our friend (still waiting at the tents.) He keeps reporting that the bodies weren't looted and the tents were alone (And the other vehicle (the motorbike)) was still there. The server desyncs (happened a lot) and somehow I get killed inside the vehicle. My friend awaits by the vehicle, trying to get gear in Polana. When he gets back, we all hear explosions, and he sees 3guys near the jeep. They destroy the jeep, and vanish away. Meanwhile I spawn in Elektro, alongside with other clanmate, and we see a guy running from 6zombies. Name: RegEnt. And get this, he has the same weapon, the Coyote Backpack. We trap him down with our axes, my clanmate breaks his legs, he alts+f4. 2 minutes later, he spanws behind us, injures me, we still manage to kill him. He respawns, his body disappears. 2 minutes later he appears again with the same gear, and i fraps him down. So, what the hell? Take your conclusions. Server: Germany 13 Date: 1:30 AM GMT+0 19/07/2012 Complain: Hacking Video File: to be added. Please, avoid Germany 13. Good night!

Vehicles do not "spawn" there are placed on the database side. Since your single player mission is not connected to a database there are no vehicles present.

Rather no. Most new players dont have anything to stash in their tents. Tents would become kinda spammable and ruin the landscape. Btw you can destroy other people tents, ever used a grenade? or vehicles? Works fine.

uh #1 ive killed people by loading in at barracks, however i wasnt technically server hopping. Its cheap, but thats the risk you take when you goto NW airfield, someone can server hop in at any minute. #2 ive died and lost some really good stuff NV, GPS, m4a1 SD, DMR, m107 just about anything most players would consider good loot. But heres the deal, once i lost all that stuff, i literally respawned in elektro killed a guy and got NV, GPS and an m16 that easily. You never know whats gonna happen in day z. So ure a noob for quitting, but i understand ure pain. Give it a week or 2 and u'll be back lol. #3 once u reach top tier pro status, you can lose all ure shit x3 and still be able to re up on everything. I have a secret campsite with a vehicles, whenever me or my friends die we just go back and are back to 100% fully geared. We have 3-4 coyote backpacks, 4x m4a1 camo sd's, 4 m16's, an fn fal, 3 m107's, a dmr, everything. and tools and ammo, basically everything you need for pro pvp. even have 2 mountain dews lol. SO once you reach that status you can die 3-4 times and still have everything you need. as long as no one finds ure camp/vehicles. you may ask how i got all this stuff, Once I had a vehicle i could easily drive to 4-5 diff spots to loot weps and ammo, other supplies. drive back and drop the stuff off. also once you have a vehicle you will know some secret spots where you can get everything you need x5. However im not gonna reveal it to the public, but If you wanna pm me i can tell you how to get everything you need x5 within a day or 2.

Not a bad idea imo. Why not? Coding work? There are already a kind of containers in the game like corpses or medical boxes, even vehicles. I'm sure it could be carried over to some closets and chests aswell. And it seems some people didnt get the topic. Maybe i didn't, but i guess the TE was not talking about carrying chairs and tables with you. I guess it is about taking guns etc out of a closet just as you take butter out of your fridge. Nothing to do with troll at all.

imo this is the biggest issue in the game... cross server meta-gaming. it's cheating, plain and simple. the best solution i can think of would be to put your character into a 'pacifist mode' for ~2 minutes after logging in. the pacifist mode would basically disable your weapons for the duration. if you're a legit player, you're also going to be effected - but 99% of the time you won't need to use weapons in that time period. you have your camp and vehicles on your home server as mass storage... your suggestion means you could farm on other servers and just server bounce to instantly 'bank' your loot. that's probably even more detrimental to the game than 'ghosting'.

I jumped into a jet on arma 2 and flew at 1000kms an hr for about ten minutes, there is no end to the wilderness. I'm wondering, can vehicles be saved off map? If so, that should be rectified.

We are currently recruiting new members. I am the owner of Omega-6 myself and I invite you to my clan. We have vehicles, weapons and combat experience and take fortnightly combat training. We are organized and maintain a chain of command, although this seems complicated, it makes sure everyone is happy and decisions are fair. We currently own a TS3, DayZ and killing floor server and as I said, we are recruiting. So feel free to give our forums a visit/sign up @ www.omega-6.co.uk Also feel free to add me on steam, on varden696.

I just destroyed a camp on UK666 so there should be a lot of vehicles and cool weapons spawning on that server now.
