Official Servers: Invalid Items?

[myskaal 50]

I haven't played DayZ in a while. I took a break from it, left off a couple of months ago before all the private servers became so easily available due to the rampant scripting. I finally, today, decided I miss it enough to log on and see what I could get into. Since the majority of private servers now require a whitelist, I decided to first just log into an official hive server (Dallas 303) and re-acquaint myself. Setup completed I loaded onto my old official hive character still packed to the gills with the gear I left off with. I barely had time to get my map open before I was kicked with the message "5 minute ban due to invalid items L85_something_somethingsomething".

So anyway, to get to the point, I'm curious what's no longer "legal" as far as gear goes. I really have not been keeping up on the mod updates because I've been sitting on my heels waiting for standalone.

And if I am carrying items that used to be legal when I was playing before but aren't anymore because of whatever changes, how do I get rid of them before I'm kicked for "hacking"?

I think the only recent deletion was the l85 thermal. Its a bit bad that you were kicked so quick for having it cos it was only stopped from spawning not actually deleted from the game. Some servers have a system that detects invalid weapons but the ones I've encountered give you a warning first. Try another server and stick the gun on a dead zombie and hide the body or stick it in a full bag.

I believe the L85 was taken out of the game by community vote. So if you had one when you logged in it probably just didn't know that you had it before it was taken out. It might have been already taken ou g of your inventory since you logged in. I would try logging in again.

Alrighty. Will just keep trying to find a server that will let me stay on long enough to get rid of it.

Don't get rid of it, if you still have it. Keep hold onto it. :P

if an (official) server kicks or bans you for owning a legally aquired weapon, report that server. Afaik it's not allowed. I also still have my L85 Thermal I acquired from a dead body months ago (though my guess is that they (were 2 guys) killed a hacker, as they both had very rare equipment, but not full gear (one had a coyote bp, the other had the L85, etc.).
