My thought was #55 had something to do with logging out and logging in or something (Ghosting some people call it, eh? To sneak up behind someone like a ghost, before materializing on the ACTUAL server?) I'm just not sure what happened or how i can fix it. D:

For a while I've been posting on here about the issue of ghosting (that is disconnecting, moving to a location on another server, and going back to the secured one), hopping servers for gear, alt-f4 disconnects and more. The majority of viewers all agreed that we need to have official private hive servers. I wanted to make everyone aware of the server The Asylum, if you haven't heard of it yet. It's exactly, in every way, identical to every other DayZ server only it's private hive. That means your character is only on that server, but it's a dedicated and permanent server. The server's only a couple of days old so it's perfect for a fresh start without everyone having duped gear, etc. Check out the site at www.dayzasylum.com and drop by. Hopefully some of you will learn there is a way to get around those gamebreaking issues. There other plenty of private hive servers around but this one is new and fresh, extremely fast (fastest you'll have ever played on I'm sure), permanent and identical to hived servers in every way.

Today a player on our server DE 1116 ported all players to the famous THUNDERDOME. The shoutbox of our forums shortly before the accident: [Heute, 21:54] yoshipwnz.: You are not permitted to ban for suspected cheats or exploits of a non-server-disruptive nature, including but not limited to ghosting, unverified cheating, duping and similar...

In all honesty I've had a great increase in both the quality (no server hoppers, ghosting) and quantity ( we have a huge rivalry with 2 other regular groups plus the stragglers) than on any public server.

Rules seem to have been updated... You are not permitted to ban for suspected cheats or exploits of a non-server-disruptive nature, including but not limited to ghosting, unverified cheating, duping and similar, UNLESS you have solid evidence, IE logs. I would say it falls easily under racism to have a name that ties to "Hitler" or "Nazi". Then again I work in a company where one of our clients is a guy who legitimately has the last name "Hitler"...so you never know I guess.

Actually I had no idea you called a camp walmart, but lots of people say that about loot piles so your deduction skills elude you there, Sherlock. As for mkaing half page posts about a TG conspiracy and exploiting glitches. We HEARD you say it on your teamspeak first hand, we didn't make it up out of thin air or try to carefully construct a story. Its a fact. I wasn't going to bring up ghosting accusations as they have nothing to do with us being banned, but we had a mole in your teamspeak one day when a group of you were sniping in Cherno (its amazing what people are willing to do for an L85 and a guille suit. :-) .) Our group took out your sniping positions several times and we heard 2 members tell everyone else in the teamspeak they were going on another server to gain position on us. So don't tell me its bullshit. You know damn well some of your guys are less than honorable players. If any admins want the names of these players I can give them to you. But I really don't want this to distact from the topic of our bans, as I don't really care about some people cheap tactics. Can't hide from my AS50 even with your bs ghosting moves.

fuck you for ghosting/server hopping

You have my beans for the combat logging/ghosting. Should not be allowed, end of.

LMFAO, ur group is a bunch of ghosting pussies ya you got raped in the Camo and then ur buddies all re logged tried to ghost us we watched the menu the whole time and saw all ur names lol. Came back in, got shot at again and ALT 4d.. GET raped by Carnage

Thanks for the reply but... Ghosting to gain an advantage is allowed? I.e. changing your location on one server then connecting to the server you want to be on in desired location to shoot honest player in the back? This is absolute nonsense if so.

Ghosting would ruin this, people(possibly even a group) would go onto a different server get behind you, log back onto the server and drop you all, take the loot and log off that server again. Great idea but I'm doubtful it would work.

Ghosting is allowed. You should instead put a password on your teamspeak channel or whatever you're using. Can't help with finding the info you need in the logs though.

Server time was around 12:30am [GMT -6] Was on my own in Berezino, server population was under 10. While inside a house I hear someone making crazy sounds over Direct Com. mic (similar to "The No" www.youtube.com/watch?v=CVFHQsWPMhU ). I bolt, and am pursued for awhile by two players who continue making noises, intermittently asking me to "come play" or "come back" while also firing at me. I figure I'll be a sport and not alt+f4, but eventually I'm killed (of course). Nothing suspicious at this point. I respawn between Cherno & Elektro and am running through the woods, when I hear the EXACT SAME Direct Com. mic noises, right on top of me. An player comes out from around a tree nearby, and I'm assuming its one of the guys that killed me, teleporting to my locale. However, this player acts friendly, and doesn't have the same gear. He denies hearing any noises or having knowledge of my death. Possible Conclusions: 1. There's was some ghosting\teleporting occuring. 2. Somehow these 3 knew each other, the 3rd happened to be in the woods north of Elektro, spot me, and decides to mess with me by spewing the same mic gibberish before I come upon him.

My humble advice, play on private hive servers for now. way too many problems with the official hive (ie GHOSTING!!!). Check out the threads on The Asylum servers, or the Sanctuary servers!!! or just filter Asylum in your multiplayer filter in game.

I share the sentiments of the OP. The game has fantastic potential, we can all imagine player controlled 'cities', bases and bandit no go areas all with a degree of perpetuity. Sadly I don't see this happening simply because of the the trusted nature of the Arma client. It's a real shame because I, like the OP, relish the thrill of playing a perma death game. However, currently it's impossible to play on a server that isn't visited by script kiddies or folks simply seeking a shortcut to getting 'geared'. If that wasn't bad enough you then have the ghosting issue, I mean how lame is that? I've seen it happen so many times.. now a real 'fight to the death' is just wishful thinking or something that is almost as rare as winning the lottery, oh the joy of trying to flank somone who simply disconss and ghosts around you... The game was an uber adrenaline rush - when you heard a gunshot eveyone dived to the ground and panic swept across teamspeak - now everyone disconnects because 9 times out of 10 it's not just someone who has the drop on you but also someone who doesn't even have to aim... The irony is that the game's popularity will fall off a cliff if it is ever transformed to the perma death state that it was originally. Many of us will be pleased that it will have become the game we so desired and once enjoyed but it won't have 30% of the playerbase it has now.

Says the ghetto ghosting d/c'r. Yes, I'll be the first to admit I battle logged after you took shots at me. Now take into context as to why I did. You logged in...in the middle of a field, in a tree. How do I know this? Because I was assigned the north/western field/road. It was impossible for you to get to where you were with out myself or one of our other perimeter snipers spotting you, it was practically a big pine tree in an open field (You were inside the pine tree at the edge of the broken stone wall next to the road). One of our thermal spotters picked you up and I kept eyes on you ever since. I was watching you for 15+ minuets, never taking a shot...due to our ROE (Rules of Engagement), which have now been become more strict for people such of yourself. Previously, we wouldn't engage anyone who doesn't take shots on you, now if there are suspect people, such as yourself, ghosting into treelines and watching our op for a shady amount of time, you'll be taken out. This isn't the first or second time something like this has happened, but it will be the last. Shortly before you took shots on me, we dispatched an employee up to your position (Name will be disclosed since I can't contact him currently), coming up on your rear. He was heading up the road, which from your manurisms you completely missed, which was a little pitiful considering you had a thermal. After you took 4-5 shots at me, broke my legs and bleed me out, I logged. Right after, the previously mentioned member who was about to engage in direct comms to verify your intentions (who was about 100 or so meters from you), opened up on you. Funny enough, from comms chatter and watching the lobby...when shots we rang out on yourself, you completely logged from the server. No idea where your getting this hacking and teleporting accusations from, but seeing as how fast you logged out I don't think you'd be able to spot a nuke going off. I also don't have to alternate my fourm and in game name, right Ninja? I don't need to hide.

I just got killed by some random idiots who have been stalking us on our server, they ghosted into our camp at an exact location, killed a couple of us then Alt F4'd. Being that i have admin/log access, can someone please tell me what log files i need to prove this? its really getting quite silly. We already believe they have been running around with some kind of god mode... but without proving the person in question missed, its very difficult. As it stands they are bending the rules beyond belief, i'd just like to prove whatever it is they are doing? thanks.

In a firefight on US 1253, that the player sentOne started, he disconected when he saw when thre was more than one of us and then reconected to start firering again, and I got killed. The time in the server was 03.18 am outside cherno, August 06 (gmt +9) My friends started to fire on him but he was Imortal. So sentOne disconected during fight and used somekind of imortal cheat/invincible , he took a half DMR mag and didnt die.

The persistent character idea is dead. It leads to too many problems like ghosting, server hopping, private farming and so forth. Before you know it, this mod or game will find it necessary to go to a model of one character per server. It's inevitable. Edit: ps... I DO have more than one character. It's quite useful.

I know Vilayer gave a bann list out to my server when I bought it from them and I believe they keep it updated. But thanks for the replies, I was just curious if me banning that guy was against the rules. Since that incident I've banned about 6ish more people for doing the same thing. No they weren't all ghosting against me, i received emails with youtube links with people frapsing this and they sent me times of the occurrence. Went back through the logs, compared times of people DCing / reconnected with the fraps video and the name of the player they were accusing and banned people accordingly.

If you don't use hacks or ghosting then it's always a fair kill. The only other question is morals and that's entirely up to the individual.

It's an alpha, and that is exactly why you dont play this. If they want free game testers then the developers better fix the bugs and problems that are causing their "free testers" to go away. I wont be playing Dayz anymore until the stand alone and I dont have any confidence in the developers to get anything right. It's time to stop hoping and start seeing some results. He is absolutely right, The game is a free for all death match with a bunch of a super, ghosting, zombies getting in the way of finding a starting weapon. People kill unarmed players now and brag about it on the forums. The community is destroying the game-play and there is no incentive for the game-testers to keep playing. The game is full of gltiches and headaches like picking up back packs or zombies flying through walls and KO you in 1 hit. Where's the incentive to keep playing this until the stand alone comes out? We are free game testers and we get payed in new content and fixing the buggish crap that bothers us.

While I love the idea of generators and stuff that can be used for different things I find this idea very stupid (at least the intended use). You are simply suggesting an ingame mechanic to _sometimes_ prevent people from cheating! The problem with ghosting shouldn't be dealt with forcing online players use an item but restrict this type of cheating in the first place. Also such a mechanic would imply that ghosting is a legit way of playing the game (which it isn't).

As I posted in the suggestions thread (http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/54577-adding-my-2cents-admins/#entry521751) ... the solution doesn't have to be more expensive. 3. You should spawn on the coast every time you join a new server but you don't lose your gear. It would stop ghosting and server hopping for advantage. It would prevent players from preparing raids on another server and spawning directly into an enemy camp bypassing all defences. It would prevent snipers from spawning onto mountain tops and buildings to PK and then server hopping to repeat. It would encourage players to form communities and learn to play with other players who have made that server their home and it wouldn't have any effect on lone wolves either. It might affect squads that server hop together, but in reality, how hard is it for an experienced player to meet up with their buddies again? It would prevent combat logging and sitting in the lobby while a squadmate comes to heal you. It would prevent combat logging to another server to self-heal, and then logging back in to continue the fight.

look at the time differences, they were taken from during the day, when we found your base it was evening. So nice try retards, those logs were from logging out when we hit stary sobar or any other places with graphics glitches in attempt to fix them. Get your facts straight [1/9-WDU]. Edit: That is perfect, i just had to quote it, you hit the nail on the head just look at the next lines below. This is the real reason we were banned from your server, all that plus 3/4 other more bases scattered around your map. so nice attempt at throwing together some logs from your scrapbook collection. Exploiting you say? lol http://dayzmod.com/f...tions-included/ oh wait more complaints about your US 35 clan server you say? http://dayzmod.com/f...19/#entry519470 http://dayzmod.com/f...d-for-ghosting/ http://dayzmod.com/f.../page__hl__us35 Your server is down you say? http://www.gametrack...64.138.42:2352/
