Dayz Dev Team please turn off Debug functionality

[Elderic 2]

Please disable the debug menu/commands on updates that ship to players. This will eliminate 90% of the cheats and exploits. This will also reduce the none issue bugs being reported because of the debug menu use because most people cant tell the difference between an actual bug or being a victom to a player using debug.

The debug menu allows people to do the following:

Teleport

god mode

create items

create zombies spawns

remove items

kill players

kill zombies

navigate through environment

etc...

These are basic debug features used by developement teams to test the game. There are many more but are not relevant to players to exploit with, like collision detection, frame rate, memory usage and more.

So turning this off then shiping the build will be more successful in finding real bugs with the title and allowing players to play/test the game.

Sounds like a good idea

If you would explain it more in depth i would agree or disagree. And does this have to do with the stats window?

WEll the Debug monitor most likely is also tied to the debug feature or is a temporary UI with a placeholder name (Debug monitor). The main reason is that some people found out how to access the Development menu used to test the game which was left open by the dev team. This allows players to do things in the game that is not apart of normal game play and they are also using it to cause problems as reported in Server, Bugs, Cheats Forums. They are using this ability to cause chaos to people that actually are trying to play/test the game and these people are causing a bad rep for the game before it can get out.So taking this debug features out or just simply disabling it would solve a lot of these reported problems and allow real issues about the game to be reported and fixed.
