Don't know if something like this is already being discussed, but here it is. Basically this is simple, new players join the server, pick up anything they see and will use it. Unfortunately people hack, and what they hack goes into the hands of other players, then more players after the previous and it keeps going on and on like a chain reaction. The Dev. Team should add something in-game to all items, weapons, vehicles, etc. that aren't allowed to be used on DayZ. Now, if they pickup the item, weapon, etc.. they should not be banned due to bugs that we all know occur. The line should be something like this. WARNING: The item you have just obtained is not allowed to be used on DayZ, please report it now to server staff or drop the weapon where you found it, if no server staff are on. Take me for example, I am new here and don't know what I can use and cannot. I used the wiki, but that is just a hassle for players to Alt-tab and look at that everytime they find something. Discuss!

So i repeat you CANT get banned for using hacked weapons or vehicles. Stop spreading stupid rumors you Yellow Duck. Keep it civil please.

AKM is in the game, that's not what he is talking about. What if someone spawned a tank and you crawled in and went on to blow up Cherno? It would be nice to have an official list of the items/vehicles/bearasses that are legit. As for your 'ignorant fuck' comment, do you talk to people like that offline too? I can only imagine you have a lot of broken teeth.

OP.... you know people do nothing but comb the Northern extremeties looking for vehicles and camps. I do it myself and find ALOT of vehicles, anything I dont wreck/steal I generally mark on the map for others to come steal. You may think your hiding place is great but trust me if theres just 3 or 4 people combing for camps on your server it WILL be found.

On my server I was referring to multiple groups of people from different clans etc. Not all from the same group. My crew only had 2 vehicles.

First of all nobody has been ever banned for using hacked weapons or cars, if you havent spawned them to the game yourself. We have killed 3 hackers and used their weapons and cars and still no bans on sight, you know why? Because if they are rare weapons you cant find ammo for those so you will run out of ammo sooner or later. So i repeat you CANT get banned for using hacked weapons or vehicles. Stop spreading stupid rumors you [Redacted]

They need to update the server and unban you, both unfair, the server not being updated because anyone that the server was nice for is out of luck, and if it get black listed people with any bases or vehicles there pretty much get a punch in the face

Not necessarily, we have had a couple times where every user include myself the admin and clan members were kicked for spawn scripts for weapons/vehicles. A hacker came in and tried to spawn them on every player in the server, resulting in everyone being kicked.

Me and my friend were playing on this server and we were going to try and fix up the ATV west of Petrovka when we ended up stumbling upon a Ural Civilian so I fired at the windshield not sure if I'd even hit the player or not (Presumably the person ALT+F4'd) anyways me and my friend were prone looking at the Ural just incase anything happened before going to get inside it, anyways we drove it off and hid it in a place that the previous owner wouldn't have been able to find, so anyways the server started acting funny for a while and when we came back into the server after it had just been updated to Beta Patch 95054 to find it was completely gone, so either there was a hacker, the server reset all vehicles (pretty certain that doesn't happen) or we attacked the admin and he checked where his car had gone, although I'm finding it more believable to be a hacker due to my next story that happened 15 minutes after this. So me and my friend after having the vehicle robbed from us went to check the ATV again when we find it was gone and I notice a player crouch walking near the fence (Have a screenshot but it wasnt a very good one considering he wasn't close enough to us and I had to use my iron sight to fire at him) anyways this guy 100% had a beret now I'm pretty certain the only people who have them are Rocket and he wasn't in the game he also had an AS50, after firing at him he did the usual thing that people do...he ALT + F4'd, anyways that's the end of my story. My advice stay away from that server if you don't want to have your DayZ experience ripped from underneath you.

IIRC vehicles are already saved when you exit or enter them, and the menu item is just an artifact from the past.

So, today was a very two sided day. Me and a friend had been camping out up north for nearly 2 weeks now, only to lose everything in our tents to a bug this morning. We decided as a result, to go to Berezino and get our hands on some new tents, what we found? A tractor, an ATV, M4A1 CCO, MP5SD etc, nothing amazing, but certianly worth a pickup. My friend drives the ATV up to our camp only for it to freak out and flip on its side, dissappearing and taking everything we found with it. Not disheartened we decided to go on a run for some heli sites to fill up our tents. What did we find this time? LA85 AWS, FN FAL with mags, m107 with mags. Pretty neat stuff, we head up to camp and store it all in our tents before logging out for awhile to get stuff to eat. On logging back in, everything in our tents was gone AGAIN, but not to a bug this time. We saw about 100 meters away, a new tent that wasn't ours. Now this is where it gets intresting. We notice the tent is in the dead open with a perfect line of sight from a small opening, we deduced it was bait and someone was waiting in the opening out of our line of sight. We head up to a treeline and take a 5 minute journey round to an angle in which we can see into the opening but not be spotted ourselves. Using the majoryly OP LA85 AWS scope we find out there's no one there and decide to head for the tent. Inside we find some mediocre loot, DMR mags, anti biotics, lots of medical supplies but nothing of any real value and nothing from our tents. We decide to pack up our tents and move north. Not 5 minutes later we're running up a hill when my friend stops dead "Holy fuck, you have to be kidding me", i can't see what he's looking at. I swivel around and then i see it, an offroad pickup truck, an ural and a green truck i've never seen before surrounded by about 30 tank traps. We cautiously approach, once again abusing the L85AWS to spot people, nothing again. We move in *chink* the notorious sound of a coke can opening. I nearly jump out my skin as my friend lets off 5-6 rounds from his L85 without saying anything. *Soldier was killed*. We move in, even more cautious now incase he had friends. We calm down and begin searching the vehicles, we can't believe what we find. 4 AS50s, 2 SVDs, 2 L85s, 3 rocket launchers, 16 bear traps, 40 ish silenced stanag mags, m240, mk 48 MoD, multiple versions of the m4 with various attachments, FN FAl with the night vision scope, 2 ghilli suits, gps, 2 NvGs and lots of RGO grenades. Giggling with excitement like 2 little girls we clear the tank traps, move them up the hill, put everything we want in the Ural and pickup before blowing up the green truck. We take the vehicles up near Guba thinking no one will bother looking around there. We park up, set up tents, get screenshots to brag to our friends with. I decide to log out for a minute as something is wrong with my UI. Not 30 seconds later my friend tells me over skype he's dead, 1 hit from close range. I decide not to log back on as the Setup completing phase will probably get me shot. So yeah, what a rollercoaster of a day, finidng rarities and losing them like it's nobodies buisness. Hope lady luck is treating the rest of you rather consistently :P

While there is always a chance your tents/vehicles will be found by someone else, if you take the time to find good spots and place only one tent at each spot you should always have plenty of supplies to gear yourself up again after a death. Just find good spots between pine trees so that the tent cannot be seen unless players come very close to it, always place them at least a few hundred meters apart from each other and ever better on different servers. That's how me and my friends do it and while we have lost a few tents so far, most of them have been safe for weeks and if one does get raided its not really a big deal since we have others to fall back on.

Where do I start? Please don't assume that I make a post because I need to vent or I'm mad in some way. I was talking, as a OFP/ARMA/ARMA2 player for over a dozen years, of the unbalancing effect these rifles have on the game in general. I don't care about getting shot by them. Hasn't happened yet in DayZ, I know how to sneak pretty well, although I know a Arma player by the name of Cowboy who's schooled me with the .50 cal many times over the years. I don't care that they're out of my range, that's not the point. I can perfectly accept that I can't shoot back. What I object to is that particularly powerful weapons that were intended, by their spawn rates, to be extremely rare, are appearing as dupped/spawn farmed weapons on every server. If their ammo was limited, that would be different, but given that their ammunition is effectively unlimited (spawn in with full mags), there's not even that check against them. When we go to beta, with all of the duping/ammo issues resolved, then by all means try bring them out again. Until then, they're just a gift for most players to camp with. Finally, any self respecting sniper will have a secondary for close up work. Personally, I like the DMR because it serves both roles quite well, but I'd opt for a good assault rifle if I didn't have a DMR. Ultimately... Yes the weapons exist in real life. Yes modern snipers make use of them Yes it's nice to beable to stop vehicles with them Do they contribute to the kind of gameplay that Rocket envisioned?? Does he ultimately want to create a game that's balanced and fun to play? I hope so. DayZ ca be so much more than another FPS. Does balancing the game take priority before he irons our the mechanics, of course not... All we can do is give our feedback... pro's and cons... In the end, Rocket makes of DayZ what he wants...

Hello When was the wave of bans, and I was banned, although no cheating is not used. Found a lot of things from cadavers and used vehicles, but later learned that it was illegally produced by other players. After the ban has bought a new key, and learned from other players that the use of illegal goods produced by other players, should not ban. So please consider my appeal. Just want to say that at present there is private program that greatly upset the balance of the game. I guess I'm not one that's noticed. Here is a link to the video, with her work. The author of this program says that he found a way to bypass the anticheat. Please do something about it. The program is called LostDay. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P3aJWEL6ziY&feature=player_embedded

Admins have NO WAY to see where vehicles are on their own servers. The only way would be if someone was running scripts to reveal vehicle locations and very few people are capable of that with the new battleye updates. Admins have no special powers except for server administration. Kicks bans, restarts, setting options.

Our tents and vehicles went missing after a server reset and came back after the next. Now it happen again, hopefully they will come back after the reset too. I had just unloaded all my gear into one of the trucks so I could carry more stuff just before the truck went missing so they better come back or else I am screwed. Hehe. :P

Hacked vehicles. And OP, use the search funcion. Many people have asked this already.

*flame suit on* I have been playing Day Z for some time now and after my most recent run I have come to the fair conclusion that this mod FAILS as a zombie survival simulator. I understand that this game was not built under with the thought of "Oh hey, this would be really fun!" About me: I am not a sorry ass noob who is crying because he keeps dying, or can't find any gear. I had it all. The only thing I failed to find is vehicles(well ive been killed by them enough). I have played the game many ways including but not limited to: a friendly survivor, a terrorizing bandit, a two faced survivor who will gain your trust just to shoot you when you dont expect it(sadistic, i know), batman, an honest abe player who doesnt exploit the system, an asshole whole will d/c when fired upon only to return a few minutes later to shoot you when you think the coast is clear. I have played this game nearly every way possible. Now the only thing fun to do is troll people in Cherno/Elektro on direct chat blaring some sort of awful music or some other weird ass way to play the game. Enough about me... Why Day-z Fails as a zombie survival simulation: Okay, #1, This game is far from a simulation -Aside from zombies not being real and me not being able to hop to different dimensions(servers)- IRL you do not have unlimited stamina. I'm pretty sure if a zombie made you bleed you were going to be a zombie. More cars would be available, but gas would be priceless. Your person would suffer from depression due to the forced style of lone wolf game play (dont even say p2p interaction occurs, sniper bullets in your brain is not what i mean) There are a million things people could pick out if they wanted. Zombies suck in general, while their AI has been improving, they still are pretty broken. Zombies run at the same exact pace as every character in the game. Shouldn't zombies(and players?) run at different speeds? Zombies are hardly a threat (except when your blood level is critical). Wouldn't there be randomly roaming zombies ALL over the world and not just loot locations? In a true zombie apocalypse, the zombies would be enemy #1, not other humans. Yeah, you will have evil people in the world but not nearly as many as there are on any day z server. Day-z = Anarchy Simulator? Other players ruin the game. I feel that surviving is just too easy in this game which is way many players resort to banditry. I think zombies need to much more of a threat. Im pretty sure there are more bugs than zombies, Yeah Alpha my ass, this has been in alpha for waaay to long and with the huge increase on players you would think BIS would help on the bug squashing end. Also- Rocket- This message is for you= Stop doing interviews saying the SAME THING in all of them and get back to work before someone steps in and takes your idea and makes it better. Welcome to Day-Z the walking simulator. The map is way too big to have any fun on when it takes 4 hours to get to the northern border just to get shot by a random sniper. Put more vehicles in the game and make gas a rare commodity that could even be used as a currency. This game is not fun- No one wants to play a boring ass walking simulator. Rocket do you want sales? People dont buy it unless they know its fun. The only reason so many people bought crappy Arma 2 was because of all the hype. This game appeared to be the most fun thing in the world. I even forced myself to believe that for some time. But after about 24 hours of game play, I cant say that its very fun. I think with some major tweaks you will create a game filled with fun while maintaining a walking zombie simulator genre. Okay you savage people, I expect a lot of tl:dr's and other forms of internet doucheness.

Where did you find both those vehicles, I had two stored some where and could never get back on the server :(

Not only that, but we have lost 2 vehicles packed with loot while travelling in them when the server went down. They both had vanished when we logged back in.

Have you spent countless hours trying to get food,water and weapons and when you finally do you die from a bandit who knows where? Well wait no longer! Now YOU can kill him and feel proud. If you join Directive 5 we are a hunting community of bandits and we kill before we talk. We will supply you with state of the art military weapons and ammunition. We will provide food and water as long as you help us gather the materials aswell. From zombies to survivors we kill em all. But under no circumstantial we tolerate killing eachother. If you shoot any of your fellow comrades you will die and be hunted for ever. Also on some servers we have vehicles! So if you want to join us visit http://directive5.en...com/recruitment and in the referral write my name Smashervt! And for your entertainment check this full bootleg zombie movie out. Its soo bad its good! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z1WnLOw8bB4

Do's -When traveling in a group always carry at least 1 extra of each medical supply - If you have a vehicle, always have a spare tire in the vehicles inventory and a Jerry can - When in PvP hotspots do not fire your main weapon unless you are aiming at another player -Always make sure when you have a grenade, that it is not selected when you are trying to fire your weapon Dont's - Never run in front of your teammates line of fire - Never leave yourself in the open or without cover

Why would anyone ignore the problem? You do understand that virtually every single major group on every server has someone that cheats correct? The usage of ESP is rampant among many "top" level clans that have hoarded vehicles, equipment, etc. and people also are duping excessively on top of the ESP, which results in a stranglehold on the server. I know this because I have been prefired upon by MANY supposedly "top" level clans. I have seen camps with virtually every vehicle in the game, with literally 40+ tents, etc. Now I know occasionally one or two groups may actually have the time to get all of these things without dying. However, if you're telling me every major group has something like this.... 8+ Vehicles 40+ Tents Various Helicopter Loot Weapons such as 10+ AS50s, 15+ Bizon SMGs, 15+ L85s, etc. Various High Level Military Grade Loot such as SD M4A1, M4/M16 with GL, DMRs, etc. etc. Truckload of Grenades/Antibiotics/Satchel Charges etc. You have got to be fucking kidding me. I was in fact a part of a group, and in fact one of the admins was also in the group. And in that group, the admin used ESP, and allowed others to utilize ESP as long as they were in the camp's group. It was just hilarious seeing this happen. I got sick of it and left, moved to another server, joined up with another group and guess what.... same thing. I decided to start playing on my own, and I would encounter various groups on other servers along the North/West edges of the map, and I would get immediately prefired on in the most random spots ever, along with the most ridiculous shit I've ever seen before (such as completely random movements, tracking of me from 600m out, etc.) It's not cool at all; most major groups did not obtain their equipment legitimately at all. I've known many administrators who overlook the whole thing just because they are in the group. It is absolutely hilarious the amount of hacking that is going on, because I can guarantee you that out of 10 groups, 7 of them contain a hacker of some sort, whether he uses scripts, ESP, or whatever. The game is quickly becoming dumb because of this nonsense, and it's actually making me feel the necessity to hack just to be able to compete against other groups. That's how fucking bad it is. The "endgame" is about PvP late game while trying to control resources on the map. That's what makes DayZ "endgame" great. You're fighting for control over resources, and if you have multiple groups doing it and the resources are relatively even, it's alot of fun. That is very rare that happens though, because usually one asshole group tends to cheat, which results in the other group cheating, and then hilarity ensues where the group that wins is usually the one with the administrator that just kicks/bans the other group off the server. People really need to open their eyes. Scripting hackers who do hilarious shit like Invincible Axe Murderer with music blaring, or lame A-10/Helicopter attacks on towns, All kills on servers, etc. are not the issue. Those guys are very rare, as they are so blatant it is easy to catch them a vast majority of the time. The most rampant amount of hacking that is going on are the hackers that pretend to play legitimate, and a vast majority of them are in the "top" groups in DayZ that hoard multiple vehicles/weapons/dupe weapons/etc. and have insane PvP stats (they never die since they always know where you are).

I wouldn't play anywhere other than a reputable server. Server admins have the ability to track the locations of players, tents, and vehicles.

Hey everyone. I've been playing dayz for a while now with a friend. We are looking for some more people to team up with so that we can do some more organized town raids and Vehicle searching We are not trying to start a clan rather we just want to find some people that enjoy the game as much as we do and want to play together We are pretty consistent players that know the mechanics and are mature. We don't have a specific server we play on and we aren't devestated about dying and losing gear. We have each lost multiple sniper rifles, nvg, ghillie suits, and vehicles to firefights. If anyone is interested you can add me on Skype:eswakon or respond to this thread
