Thats nice.

But us actual legit players REALLY enjoy reading your pathetic excuses for being caught hacking.

I read these types of threads just for the lawls

Except I am a legit player. I've never hacked or ran a script on any game in my whole life. Your undying trust in BattlEye is actually laughable. Now after actually typing the word "lawls" you've further confirmed your status as a dense guy. Are you actually even serious? A large amount of random people come out saying they've been randomly banned all at the same time after a beta patch and you can't even piece that together? Stop making yourself look incredibly stupid and drawing focus away from actual issues.

[Noise (DayZ) 40]

I have a feeling Battleye bans are being issued unjust because of scripters. Sort of over-compensating, or in other words, it's working so good that it's catching people effected by scripters (even if they didn't cheat themselves).

Scenario:

Someone on the server scripts in some sort of vehicle, I don't know, say a tank.

They kill you with the tank.

Scripter is banned, so are you.

In war truth dies first. So im not sure if BE messed up and is hiding it behind propaganda or if hackers invade this thread claiming they are innocent. Well maybe both to some degree. However, if BE really messed it up, I am sure the real cheaters that got caught will jump on the train and all complain that they are innocent too.

Anyway, the Arma Vets I know which are playing DayZ all had no problems with false bans (yet). On the other hand, after playing for 10 days without seeing a hack, today I encountered 2 in a row, the first one transported me 5 kilometers in the air, the 2nd one transformed me into a dog...

[jblackrupert 308]

DUDE we get it.. your are a VET from a video game, GOOD FOR YOU...

now.. you realize how all this commotion involves only Dayz players? Non of you prissy, we are awesome cause we spend 15 hours a day in the armory because we couldn't beat the SP.

Mass global bans and widespread hacking, Admin abuse has never been an issue until DayZ came along.

None of the people who always run beta patchs are complaining in the Arma 2 forum.... why is that?

Answer: DayZ is a kiddy fest that attracts hackers and script kiddies.

[JamesR 74]

It's possible that people are getting banned without cheating at DayZ. For instance they might have a cheat engine on their computer they weren't using on this game. I'm pretty sure BattleEye would still pick that up.

[Dj Mikey 37]

obviously, these bans are rooted with the new beta patches and Dayz mod compatibility. If there was a mistake, give it time. Its a beautiful summer out there!

What do you plan to accomplish by coming here and cussing out this community? You more then anyone else here is acting like a "COD" kiddie. Leave if this issue is not relevant to you and most importantly stop insulting this great community. Have you seen what bandits can do? No, you havnt, there isnt any bandits in single player.

I expect it after a large ban

Large bans occur when there is a major update of ANY anti-cheat software.

You cheat and BE caught up to you.. it was only a matter of time.

Stop hacking and you won't get banned.

Simple

[Sammy101 112]

When people got banned in the last ban wave there were probably hundreds of threads popping up for ban appeals. While I'm sure some hackers were banned in this update, many are actually innocent. To the guy exclaiming "no arma 2 vet has gotten banned", my friend has just recently been banned by the patch, and he's played Arma since the first. There was no thread with over 600+ replies in it last time Battleye did the bans. You'd see a shitload more of hackers complaining in ban appeals because they were actually banned. Something is wrong, and all you people trash-talking those that perhaps are innocent of everything is just rude and does not help the DayZ Community grow at all.

And to retort anyone saying that this thread doesn't help grow the community, it does. It created at first a reasonable discussion of talk about who was banned and asking if people were also innocent. Now it's just a bunch of retards spewing gibberish because they think anyone banned was a hacker.

-note, I have not personally been banned myself because I stayed on an earlier patch.

This is going to be all over Kotaku when the shit really hits the fan...

Use your loaf.

Stop using hacks

slow down and look at the context of what I said. or maybe you wanted to quote the person I quoted...

is that a threat?

[jblackrupert 308]

What is more likely: a large group of people have decided to storm the forums, /r/dayz, and BIS' forums, to try and get their legitimate bans overturned; or Battleye is acting up for some reason?

Whats happening is Battleye likely did a major update and all the hackers got spanked.

Happens all the time

No matter what game and anti-cheat used, the complaints about being unfairly banned, "I'm a legit player"...."must be FRAPS" or *insert other 3rd party software* come flooding in after every major update.

Hackers believe that if they whine and cry enough they'll get unbanned.

This beta patch / BE ban thing is only an issue with the DayZ crowd because thats where the hackers are. Vanilla Arma 2 players using the Beta patch are uneffected because they aren't a bunch of 12 year old hackers.

[ZomboWTF 527]

i'm still going with the "dayZ hackers didnt expect to be banned" theory

BE had a "better safe than sorry" approach on banning people until now, thats why there were so many hackers and still are, i dont think they would now rageban too many all of a sudden

seems like they plugged a hole to me and the oh-so clever cheaters expect to get unbanned with a mass protest since "the majority of people is always right" seems to be a legit point nowadays

[Psyl3nt 125]

Not sure the back and forth is getting anywhere, if anyone has a response from BE or BI, whichever you appealed to / messaged / emailed - it would be good to put it here to help clear the air and give us an indication if this is indeed a case of BE mistakes.

Still seems fishy.

Hello,

unfortunately everything I can do personally right now is to go to servers with large concentration of hackers and try to get banned. If this happens, then I have a definite proof that BattlEye is wrongfully banning people and their anti-cheat scripts do not work optimally.

i once was kicked by battleye because of a new beta update, where something with ammo count was changed, yet it never said to me "global ban" or anything similar

i was only able to join after BE was updated, could be that case with a wrong error message

seeing the mass ban of ten thousand players, a few raging real hackers sure will hop on the train

i hope BE can differ between bugged kicks or bans and legit ones, if this is the case

They must be able to differ between the innocent players that have been banned and the not so innocent just taking some time looking at the logs. All i want to do is play the game but because of this i have to now wait while we get called "scum and every name under the sun" until some of us get our bans lifted.

[matthewbflanagan@gmail.com 36]

My friend literally downloaded the game yesterday, we played for about 5 hours and he was global banned.

I played with him the ENTIRETY of the time we were on.

However, he logged on an hour before he got banned and was instantly brought to the "You have been killed" screen on a server in which a hacker had nuked the server 30 minutes prior, so I was confused on how he died.

However, funny thing is, he was running the latest patch in a server that WASN'T on the latest patch, so, those theories could be correct.

Also, for everyone saying that these are all hackers that are raging, you're pretty dense.

We're all a community and while indeed, I bet 80% of the people that ARE complaining are probably hackers, but I definitely think that some innocent people are being banned here. And if you refuse to even ponder that thought, then you are a waste of air.

[Psyl3nt 125]

I would perhaps not be so quick to abuse everyone, just in case it IS a mistake, myself I've had no problems, but I might just be lucky.

I do find it unlikely that BE would get it wrong, but it isn't impossible. And I'd hate to be in the position of being banned and having no-one even willing to listen.

I think they probably are hackers, but I am willing to listen / wait and see before I abuse / troll / give them too much shit about it. (just in case).
