Chatacter wipe next stable build(.49) possible

[irl-calibre 744]

as the player base moves towards 2.5 million and loads new arrivals on the horizon, I really hope they can figure out a way to stop fuckers teleporting.

[blacklabel79 949]

finaly...

 

i for one welcome a clean slate..

 

*we will see about the duping part, also..please give a whipe date....so we all can have a nice duping war, down in berezino...

A wipe is a big win anyway because it deletes the hacked stuff being already ingame.

 

Yeah, thats true and its good.

 

I just believe items are the same mess 2 months from now than right now

[odin_lowe 3686]

Awsome news tbh.

They should have done this every 1-2 months during development imho.

 

The sooner the better :)

Exactly. As much as I like my regular stable branch character that's been alive since February 2014, during development we should get regular wipes. (just like the experimental build, every patch)

 

I really hope they are going to fix the duping and hacked infinite ammo mags and clips. This will truly be one big step in the right direction and a big game changer for all who loves pvp. ( I don't do much pvp and it's not really my style so it's not really affecting me. I've only encountered and infinite ammo teleporting hacker once with the clan I'm in mainly because we were on a high pop server, with our group of 6 or 7...)

 

Still, :thumbsup: .

The wipe will clear every player that achieved some gear the legit way and as well stored precious gear on additional characters.

+1 for fixing dupes and bugged ammostacks, even if I don't even care about it. It's easy to kill people with infinite ammo as they're usually playing according to their gear.

 

As an ultimate result, hackers for major gearsellers will have a happy fun time again, teleporting from player to player and picking up the good things, just like yesterday, when my whole squad was wiped by a person that appeared out of nowhere and disappeared after running 3 steps. So it will just be like before, another 100 hours of searching gear, prolly pvping to get the good things, until you hit that one unlucky server and lose it all in an instant.

 

After all, hackers won't care for wipes.

what a tear repository.

They aren't gonna fix anything, or else they wouldn't need a wipe. Character wipe (which is good) will only clear infinite m4 mags that some people in this forum are using constantly and do not know how to play without them. However, it is still sad for people to lose their legit m4 aquired through heli crashes or by killing a guy who had it etc. But since there are at least 2 known ways of duping, I doubt it is gonna be fixed. If it is, amazing grace to devs, if not (and judging how they "fixed" infinite mag before) then well, people will continue playing as before.

Might aswell drop these two tents i've been hoofing around waiting for .49 and go have some fun at call of berezino.

Yep.

 

From now until .49 drops, I am going to war.

Ok so let me get this right. .49 they are going to wipe everyone's shiz nit and then correct dupping and some other issues. A Clean Slate.

 

I'll wait til then to play DayZ SA again. Hopefully then it will be a little less bug ridden and I can have fun playing again. Looking forward to it.......I think.

Nobody knows when patch 49 comes. Maybe after another 6 months, which took them to fix textures. But zombies still clip through walls. It works only 2 times of 5.

From what I notice playing .48 for a short amount of time, is the melee bugs were not as bad as .47. As long as melee really does work, and there's not constent CHR wipes its playable. But Zombies really do need to be fixed. They should at least do some sort of temp fix. Crawlers were by far the worst when it came to down right broken mechanics, just take the stupid fuckers out if they don't work....simple. LOL You would think right? Then when they know they work put them back in then, maybe just have then on exp. 

 

Hopefully not as many CHR wipes when .49 is there too. I'm pretty much on a temp leave of absence until they get some of this stuff ironed out. I play to have fun, its just not fun when there's terrible bugs and CHR wipes.

[kakysas666 191]

Melee working? Are you kidding? They hadn't even touched the issue. Crawlers yeah are the worst since they after attack spin around you.

[SwitchSL (DayZ) 17]

To many people are emotionally attached to alpha gear.  Every major patch should come with a wipe at this point.

[hothtimeblues 128]

Come on guys. Admit it. Wiping everyone's character is a cheap and easy way to try and address script kiddies who will still be able to teleport to us which is 1000 times more of an advantage than duping.

If anything, this is rewarding teleporting scripts.

Yes we are deleting hacked mags, but anyone who has current or future access to the paid scripts to teleport will have a larger advantage on us.

I use to play on a lot of full servers with my brother and friends, we often had teleporters appear all around us and our only chance was spraying crap loads of bullets. So I'm justing pointing out the irony that without duping ammo that we mostly used just to spray at the damn teleporters, we will be sitting ducks.

Can't you understand this frustration? I guess most people here not understanding this don't play on full servers where you are more likely to run into teleporters.

It's time like these when Im glad I have a ton of other games and I got my hands in other baskets. I can simply play something else for while. I love the concept of DayZ SA but ever since .47 its really not been fun at all. Main due to broken melee, broken zombies and CHR wipes. Its a toxic mix of bugs. If it takes them til next year to fix it, then fine...I'll pick it back up then. I don't like having to deal with serous game bugs when I have a nice beer buzz, after dicking around solving problems on CPUs all day at work...just to come home to see it in a game LOLOL. I do not play dayz because I'm a game tester, I play because I'm a video game player. If they want me to test the game for them, they best pay me LOL

 

As far as melee goes I thought they fixed part of it in .48. Maybe I'm wrong. Seemed to work a bit better...aiming at least.

hothtimeblues you need to fix your nomenclature. Again, as accolyte has said, scripting isn't possible at this point in DayZ. The hacks or exploits that allow teleporting are something other than scripts. Don't confuse people by talking about something inaccurately. Also - yeah, the wipe is going to cleanse the world of all of the hacked and duped items, everyone is paying for the sins of the few, but we'll start off in a better place. I don't have to approach Novo only to hear a dude fire off 200+ M4 rounds (which was nice to hear only in that I knew to immediately turn around because I wasn't going to waste time risking dealing with a cheater with infinite ammo).

[kakysas666 191]

As they said, they gonna (read "not gonna) fix duping and only after clean servers. So people have time to enjoy their toons. I for one would feel only sad about my clothes. It is really hard to find pristine black set.

[CJFlint 357]

To me it does not matter one bit if they wipe my CHR in .49. DayZ has already wiped my CHR I have had alive for over month. So for me if they want to do something like that there is no better time then now. 

 

As far as hacking goes....I truely don't think duping counts as hacking....That's called exploiting. Hackers or cheaters use 3rd party "mall ware" to cheat in the game. Which by the way is really bad bad news to do. What these so called "hackers" or "cheaters" that use stuff like aimbot, teliport don't know is when they use these programs, they are giving up there IP to the real hackers. Its a messed up cycle of abuse. So at the end these "cheaters" or "hackers" may pay a serous price just to cheat in a game...its the truth.

Dunno if I'm the only one who hasn't seen a hacker, infinite mag etc when I've played? But I know that those exists from videos.

Character wipe is very welcome and I'm already used to it because I've played experimental mostly.

To be real honest with you I have only seen 2 hackers that I was certain of since I been playing. One was a map glitcher. and the other was a teliporter. The reason is most people are smart enough not to mess around with shady software. Mods are one thing, but Malware is another...vary bad thing for your CPU.

 

But lets be really clear here there is a major difference between someone who exploits broken mechanics and someone who uses software to cheat...There is a big difference.  Duping is exploiting, just like looking through walls in 3rd person.

[spartacusrex 88]

Darn, i've been holding onto my maxed out stable chars with their tents, bi-pod mosins and full M4's for weeks now. Only playing on experimental until I can safely pitch my tent.

 

All that effort finding two tents was for nought...

[bauertschi 254]

Guess you didn't read my above post. Now the hackers running live scripts will be even more god like because people who just dupe to have enough ammo to combat live script teleporters, etc.... will be handicapped. Yes it's good to get rid of a lot of the infinite ammo mags, I agree. But unless they actually fix how easy it is to run live scripts..... all legitimate players are just getting more screwed.

 

I run around with an AK101 and ONE magazine. It is enough to kill or die, whatever ;). You know what screws legit players besides cheaters using third party software? Dupers. No gearing up being vulnerable, no point in conserving ammo. The very thought of considering dupers legit players disturbes me in the extreme. That goes for all exploits giving you advantages in fights, like looking through walls, glitching through walls, ... .  

 

naturally im a little dissapointed all the hard work i've stuck in staying alive for months on end, legitimately searching for days on end for high end loot will all be made redundant. Another win for the cheaters it seems. 

 

To be honest, I'm astounded that they don't do this more often. They did for example filter out infinite m4 mags and 60 5.66mm stacks a while ago. They kept coming up. If they just wiped all chars when doing something like that, it might be easier to figure out how that is done. I guess they are hesitant to wipe everything because we (the community) would just show their dislike for such actions in the usual ways. In their shoes I would wipe AT LEAST with every new version. More often if it seems useful. If one dev is just taken out of further development for 1 day because of something like that, I think a wipe would have been a good thing. Gearing up is also part of the game. Maybe you'll enjoy it after months ;) 

 

Oh, then I apologize if they noted that teleporting, (the single worst hacking script in the game)

is now impossible. I hope that is true. But if it is, why is no one celebrating that teleporting is supposed to be now impossible? That's is 1000 times more of an advantage than duping.

 

Teleporting is not impossible. Accolyte did not say that. Read again. He only stated that he never said anything like teleporting is ok. Ppl in the pinned hacking thread misquoted him a while ago, so that's why he wrote that.

[trev186 389]

If they really do stop duping and hacks then I am cool with the wipe and understand it.

But I predict withing 1-2 months people will be crying about dupers and hacked gear out Of control again.

There are many ways to dupe gear and hackers will always find a way..

The people hurt the most are those who do not dupe gear or hack.

But WTH easy enough to get 90% of the gear. Just means im on a break til .49 comes out.

But yea mark my words people will be duping again in no time. This game seems to breed bugs which result in dupes.
