freethink

Agree. It's something like the throwing splint thing used to be.

Just saw this: http://www.reddit.com/r/dayz/comments/2fcmzc/another_perspective_of_this_thunderdome_vybor/ck8225v

I haven't seen any mention of it on the hacking site I monitor and they normally can't shut up about their hacks but there was a vid posted over on reddit of it happening the moment a hacker was killed. I think it's some sort of exploit/hack that a few hackers are aware of and more and more are finding out about it now. Also someone mentioned threads with it are being deleted over at reddit because of rule 3 so if it wasn't a hack then that's confusing. I mean why didn't it happen from day one after the update to stable? Why isn't it happening on experimental (or is it?) Either way it's a bug that needs fixing but it's one I'm glad I haven't experienced and one that I don't want to experience either.

Rubbish. You play in almost empty servers and stick to the wilderness, right? And did you not post ages ago how it was amazing that on almost empty servers how may times you met another player despite you being in the middle of no where? That was hackers back before they introduced the network bubble. It wasn't a coincidence at all. Live by the sword die by the sword? How is playing the game equivalent to hacking the game? We deserve to be hacked?

i blame agile

I'd be astonished if it was tomorrow. More likely the 10th or 17th. No-one knows though.

I'd say most likely the 9th will be the last night before the purge. Could be the 16th though. Exp. is pretty fucked atm.

yep as I suspected, probably just a hacker trolling. yawn.

If I had to make a guess I'd say you are probably a hacker trolling. Of course there are hackers, there are videos of hacks from the perspective of the hacker and the victim. There are paid hacks and free hacks that have been detected thousands of times. Battleye has banned thousands of hackers. And yet you say they don't exist. If they don't exist then who is battleye banning?

I love the weather effects on exp. I didn't overheat or catch a cold and it made me play differently i.e. I didn't run long distances through rain etc. Obviously it needs tweeking but it's a great addition imho.

Cancel your server and make it clear you are cancelling because of hacking. The more people do this the sooner it'll become a priority fix. Money talks.

So do I for the most part. It's actually the first online multiplayer game I've put more than 10 hours into. Love it for all its flaws.

From their pov, it's should we invest time and money fixing vulnerable code that we are going to replace anyway? I can understand that. They could detect and fix speed hacking tomorrow by just testing peoples average speed but that would be defunct when vehicles come in so they don't. What's sad is hackers can detect other hackers at the moment by detecting average speed and so could bohemia but they've made the decision not to. I say detect them now, ban them, ban their pcs and then if the code becomes obsolete...so what!?

I actually think you get the short straw. The code is wide open but you are the face of anti-cheat so always get the blame. I'm guessing it was you not bohemia or steam that pushed that people caught cheating on a bohemia game gets banned from all bohemia games. Related question: Do you possess the capability to implement hardware bans* if you were allowed? *permanently ban the machine used to hack/cheat.

What I find is it ebbs and flows. For instance, I was fine until the inventory stealing thing came in and then when it did stable was unplayable so I went to experimental. That became less prevalent so I came back to stable. Now this shit means I'll be back on exp. I do think they (bohemia/steam) should do more. be gets a lot of criticism but it is what it is and very effective at the job it does. The big thing for me is bohemia/steam allow cheats/hackers who were previously banned to buy their way back onto the game. As long as that is true then I'm not sure of the long term prospects. As I posted earlier, cheat on xbox and your xbox is only good for offline games and you need to buy a new one to play online. Cheat on steam and you just rebuy. I think they can and probably will fix the hacking situation (later) but I worry that they don't give a fuck about us, the current players. Why would they when it's a few annoyed internet posts versus dollars in the bank? We pay once. Cheaters pay multiple times. So from an accounting point of view who is the more valuable customer? That's ^^^^ why we have hacks/cheats.

not even the half of it

imo they need to tighten up the code to prevent this and then they also need to stop hackers being allowed to rebuy the game on the same pc they were banned on. People are paying more on hacks than the game costs so making them rebuy the game is a drop in the ocean. Like if I pay $6 a month for a hack that's $72. rebuying days is, what, $25.

novo, svergino, severograd, ratnoe, ratno, zap, top is a much better route and although I've met people, it wasn't many. severograd is a great place to find a mosin, scopes etc.

I keep an eye of one hacker site. Not a site that sells hacks but a site where they basically swap code and techniques and one hacker made some very interesting points. He said his hack could detect other hackers simply by getting the average speed of people within his network bubble and that there were a lot more hackers than people suspected. I thought about this and basically my conclusion is that although it would be trivial to detect speed hackers they've decided not to bother because once there are vehicles then that detection wouldn't be valid. They are consciously deciding to allow speed hacks because fixing it would only be a short term fix, Another thing I learnt from that forum is that steam doesn't ban people based on hardware signatures i.e. a person can be banned and then just use the same machine to get a new steam account and rebuy the game. Do you see the conflict of interest? Steam imo needs to stop pretending it wants to ban cheaters from steam and actually ban them permanently. zero tolerance. xbox users who get caught hacking/cheating basically can't use that xbox online ever again but steam allow hackers/cheaters to buy their way back on for twenty or so dollars. These hackers are scum. They want to destroy the game. I've seen them post how much they hate it and how much they hate bohemia. I don't know if anyone remembers the old twilight zone "It's a good life" - watch it. The kid in that is what these hackers are. Narcissistic psychopaths. The people who pay for hacks, although annoying aholes, I feel a more deserving of pity. They are pathetic specimens. Yes they are cheats but they are cheating because without cheats they wouldn't stand a chance and they are the people get banned etc, they are the people get robbed by these hackers who don't give a damn about the game, the players or their own customers. Just to add: I play dayz on full servers most days and avoiding berezino means I typically don't see hackers. Yes, they may be around but they don't impact me.

I wish everywhere had the same if not more zombies

I could honestly live without ragdoll. Anyone else? As far as I can see it mainly means expired zombies sliding up hills etc.

Should be possible just like it's possible to drink disinfectant i.e. stupid but possible.

you need to register a separate account for the tracker

I think he should go home for christmas but I don't think it's makes much difference either way. Don't want to blow smoke up his behind but he's the visionary and should be involved in the game until the end but that's not to say he should work at the coalface every day (which I doubt he does.)

For arma I printed out keyboard layout templates and then wrote what the keys did. I did the same with dayz but thankfully there's a lot less keys so I never really used it. Still use the arma one! The key bindings menu could do with a clearout though.
