DayZ Discussion Thread.

Banned a guy called Kevin from ZA5 today, as we've got clear proof of him DCing when being shot at, both in the form of video and server logs to back the video up. Always so gratifying when we can root these guys out.
 
Would those player's names be DecimatorZA, Jamilla, and two others? (NH Tags)

I had endless issues with these guys on the weekend. And when I finally took them all out (I'm sure as I was careful to scout first) I got shot a few seconds later by the exact weapon they were carrying. Hacking and scripting has become really bad :(

I was scanning the local forums waiting for this post.

I will keep this civil, as we had a VERY VERY VERY good laugh. Firstly Kudo's to you for sneaking up on us. Luckily for you, you were able to do so because our rear cover player went AFK for a bit. Some more Kudo's as you actually came back to the same areas knowing that there are players.

Now let's get to this "hacking". I love how you throw that term around, yet when we first killed you off to the west of Cherno you were carrying a hacked gun. The AS50 Thermal is not a normal gun, you should know this as you have been playing this a long time, yet you were carrying this and shooting at players with this while we observed. Being the awesome players we are, we took it from your body and dropped it against the wall of the house we killed you at. We do this with most hacked in weapons that we find.

Secondly. No hacking my friend, see we play it a bit smarter. You killed me and Decimater, but you never saw or killed third, fourth or fith players who also joined us a bit later. Hence you got killed by the same weapons, because A) We all carry As50's and B) You were killed afterwards by our mates covering our bodies (so you didn't take us ALL out haha) If you indeed did kill other players in the vicinity ( we killed 3 trying to sneak up on us) then they were not in our group, as it's only me and Deci that were killed during that entire stint

Also, I love how you DC after killing Decimator from that tower in Cherno, only (we checked DayZ Commander) to join ZA4, to try and get a slip on us from the back. Luckily we picked up on this, and you were killed trying to be a retard server hopping to try and get the slip on us again. That my friend is one of the most cowardly tactics known to man.

Then again, it's there to be exploited, so use it while you can I guess.

So in Short. We are not hackers. I myself killed you once, Decimater killed you once, and you were killed by one of our cover players. Decimater and myself are both Premier league COD players, both attend Rage, play for high ranking and respected clans and play in the public eye, we detest all forms of hacking in all games. Surely I can understand your frustration, I really really can, as there are some assholes out there that hack in a game like DayZ for some retarted reasons which boggles my mind. But we do not, please tell me where we are hacking then? We only play smart.

But please explain to me, after calling us hackers, your Server hopping to gain a tactical advantage, carrying and SHOOTING with a hacked weapon?

Just a quick question (and I'm not throwing around accusations, just legitimately curious), but where did you all get the AS50s? Because I played this game for three months and I've never even had the gun drop at all. Just find it curious that currently pretty much everyone in the game is carrying the gun.
 
I haven’t played for a while now, but I it does seem like the scripting has increased on ZA servers.

On Saturday I believe (the last time I played), a few of us were in Cherno in quite a decent vantage point. On 3 occasions players would “spawn” next to us (probably ghosting on another server where it safe before switching, hoping to take us out), many failed as a result. The kicker is that a particular player (or 2) would constantly be very close to us, with the exact same loadout as what he had when we killed him (L85AWS+PDW). Also, lots of kicking for scripting happening too, which is good to see.
I lost my L85A2 and AS50(Now this is a funny story about how I ended up with this) in Cherno after a buddy was killed in a Restaurant after he opened fire and killed 2 others(Guille Suit and Camo guys). I logged out just outside on the west side and then logged in to go check what was going on.
On the way there in one of the back streets I just got killed crossing the road(3 shots).
Friend spawned on eastern side ran in got a revolver shot a guy in a Guille suit on a ATV, was classic too see and then he got moved down by someone.

Me being filled with vengeance, I spawned in Electro and was lucky enough to pick up an AK, ran all the way back to Cherno and killed a guy close to where me and my friend died(close to ATV).

I heard shots fired and then it stopped, I ran around the wall and had my back to the corner ready for whatever might be coming... never did I think that 4-5 guys would come rushing from the south entrance(Good fun).
I emptied a clip on them before I died, don't think I killed any of them, I definitely did hit some of them, but yea didn't really stand a chance. :)

Not really sure what really went down, but it all felt a bit fishy...

Oh yea the AS50...
We were in Kamarovo one night with our newly S1203 Van(We stole I think), anyway I managed to crash the damn thing in the middle of the road and left it there till the next day.

With some hope of reviving it found out that it was completely bust. So we head west through the northern forest part of the town(3 of us) when one friends spot and hears a Truck coming.
At first I thought he was joking and then saw it coming down the road to Kamarovo, I just decided oh well might as well try and take it(Yep we hijacked it).
We felt so bad afterwards, especially the one friend who killed two of the three. anyway two guys with guilles carrying AS50's with Silenced Pistols(PDW/M9) with some other goodies on the passenger on the back who was just sitting there when we shot at him.
Jumped in the truck and drove off, after that we did loads of adventures with it and tbh I didn't even think the AS50 really spawns...

Also I don't know why, but the truck also disappeared on Saturday morning... :/ Things like this normal?

*Lol just saw Jamilla's post, on the way home now. But I'm feeling a funny story coming.

I'm guessing most of these guys loot it off other bodies, or tents and vehicles.
I'm not really a sniper so I usually discard AS50 and M107 rifles, I prefer the AKS Cobra or the M4 CCO SD. But between me and my usual partner we have found loads of AS50's. Hidden Vehicles and tents mostly though.

Yeah, that's the thing. With how widespread the duping issue is, it makes you wonder how many of the guns are actually legit. I've heard reports of people duping on ZA5, and I'm continuously checking the logs to see if I can't figure out who it is.
 
True, the game is very open to exploiting! Luckily the scripting / hacking seems a bit less as of late. I must admit we rarely play on the NAG server though. Good luck with your log hunting, shot for the effort!

We found 5 AS50 Rifles during camp raids far north in a matter of hours, then found 2 more in a Red UAZ just west of NW Airfield. Currently our camp always has 1 or 2 spare :D As far as I know, the AS50 only spawns on chopper crash sites, all the others we found were in vechicles, tents and other players.
 
Ah, that makes sense then. Chopper crash sites are pretty common, and they were only fixed shortly before I stopped playing. Explains why I hadn't seen the game up until then.
 
Okay cool Jamilla, no hard feelings. I was just a bit frustrated. But then again what can I expect taking on a group by myself. You guys do play smart. It was great fun running low-tech to take you on... As for the hacked gun, it's not illegal to use one that you took off a body according to Rocket...

All good dude, All good :D
 
Hey Guys,
I am having real problems with the install - I have followed all the guides on the DayZ Wiki, using the DayZ commander, with all my directories correctly set, I can't load the game. The problem seems to be with the Beta patch 90961 - My system doesn't want to load the beta. I have used the instructions here: http://www.dayzwiki.com/wiki/How_to_install_DayZ
I'm getting similar errors to this guy: http://www.fpsgeneral.com/forums/ba...ing-bin-config-bin-cfgingameui-mptable-shadow
but I am using the version from GOG.com, not Steam. I have tried running everything as administrator. I've tried editing the registry etc. Anyone else with any other ideas? Maybe it's because I'm using the GOG.com version?

I managed to solve my problem in case anyone was wondering... The GOG.com installer seems to be incompatible with DayZ Commander and SixUpdater install methods. I had to do a manual install, and most importantly I had to change information in the target of the beta launcher shortcut that is created in the main Arma 2 directory when you install the beta patch. Here is the procedure:

1. Install the Dayz files into your main Arma 2 folder. There should be an @DayZ folder created by the mod installer.
2. Install the beta patch (I used 96061). This will create a shortcut to "Launch AOE beta.exe" in the main Arma 2 folder.
3. Change the parameter in the Target line of the shortcut to: "{beta directory}" -mod=@dayz -nosplash , where {beta directory} is the directory where the beta installed normally ...\Arma 2\Expansion\beta\___.exe (I cant remember the exe name now). Now, if you launch that shortcut, it will launch DayZ. YAY!

I will update this post later when I have more time. Apologies for the crude vagueness, but I did it from memory, two days after the fact.

I picked up one also last night. Was like wtf, how many of these things are there going around? Need to go pickup some ammo to test it out and then decide wtf to do with it :0
 
Played this for the first time last night, and it's pretty much the most interesting game I've played in, like, forever. There's simply nothing else like it.

*Player Tarryn is losing connection* :P

I saw the two of you were on last night.
Once you get comfortable with the controls and how everything works it becomes a little easier as well.
Hatchet (remove from toolbelt, add to toolbelt) and also "reloading" it.
 
Ah, the good old Makarov. People always told me what a crap gun it was, but no matter what, I stuck to it. It usually saved our lives when we got spotted in the middle of a town and they all had super loud side-arms.

Also, ammo was never a problem.

For some reason the client was using my real name instead of my Steam name. I've looked up how to change it. Also sorted out why I kept losing connection (stupid firewall).

Can't wait to play this, like, all weekend.
 
Oh, to change your name just head to Profiles (I think) in the main menu. You can edit the profile name and your character's appearance there. The game seems to use your PC's name by default.

I'm with you on this all the way!
