Im so confussed

[Jeebuzz 0]

Hello, Name is Shaun, I've been playing DayZ for quite a while now. Now Im pretty lost after reading in the forms and hearing that the global ban is something people get for cheating. I personally don't have the know how to hack a game much less do something called scripting(Herd about it from other posts) Now some people say well you have a hacked weapon in the game, How does one tell if the item that's picked up is hacked? I have put in a complaint/information request to BattleEye support e-mail but I am still wondering how one could get banned for truly not cheating. If they do not respond is there some way of going about playing the game again? if so may someone respond as to what it is I can do and the options i have. For anyone who comes and reads the post + reply's I app the time you took.

Hi Shaun!

I am going to call you "Shaun the first". This is because, there have been no false-positives reported so far. Lets's recap that, basically, you'd be the first person to accidentally install a hacking method for ArmA2 and then accidentally run it while you are playing it. So it's not good news so far really for your situation.

I have to admit though, what I find weird is, that you don't seem to bothered about being banned. I would be really bothered. I'd be posting RPT files, I'd be providing character references, my game buddies.

But no, Shaun the first. Your post is, in fitting with the name I christened you, your first post! Unfortunately, things are pretty grim at this point.

Let me explain this in a picture:

When you use a script to hack in the game, your action gets logged by BattleEye. Picking up weapons does not get you globally banned with BattleEye.

Here is his quote from another thread:

You do not get a server or global ban for picking up weapons' date=' or having weapons, or anything to do with weapons.

You get a global ban from BattlEye, for hacking/cheating.

Boom....headshot.

EDIT - Oh god I feel so bad using that reference.

Never been banned for cheating cause I never cheat...doesn't seem hard to understand.

HAAAHAA!!!!!! That meme is so perfect! I know you have some Supernatural ones you can bust out at some point.

I deem this to be a proper situation for the phrase "PWNT!".

As Rocket stated, we didn't issue the bans - we can't revoke the bans.

Closing this for now, let's try playing legit next time shall we?
