  1. not even the half of it
  2. 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.

    Maybe they were just restarted. They all worked until the first reset, didn't they?
  4. 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 went to stable after about 24 hours. Might be an idea to try go for a thursday release and it tends to be 24 hours before things go wrong and when they do at worst they don't get fixed and at best someone has to work a weekend. What I missed immediately going back to stable was the weather having an affect. It adds something to wait out the rain etc.
  6. 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.

    Stay OUT of Gorka and Staroye

    I wish everywhere had the same if not more zombies
  8. I could honestly live without ragdoll. Anyone else? As far as I can see it mainly means expired zombies sliding up hills etc.

    There's issues with the servers too. Over half of them are stuck or restarting constantly.

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

    over 50% of the servers are unavailable 0/40, the rest are full edit: fixed! now all full and I still can't get on edit: back to 50% down. must be a manual reboot or something

    Should Rocket go sooner rather than later?

    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.)
  16. 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.

    Cheers. Just rechecked I see it's been removed from: http://www.reddit.com/r/dayz/comments/2eufwj/exp_049_828_discussion_unofficial_changelogthread/ comment confirming your view: http://www.reddit.com/r/dayz/comments/2eufwj/exp_049_828_discussion_unofficial_changelogthread/ck3kunq So absolutely no change. tbh I kind of like hiding bodies and I never feel right looting my own.

    So has anyone got back to their body after 10+ minutes and regained their gear? I see on the unofficial changelog that hide body is gone.

    wow. this was the post i was about to make: initially I ate some berries but once i hit towns i found food in buildings that were previously looted no prob.

    Large scale battle?

    Small scale works better imo. If everyone on a server is in the same network bubble then it's carnage but not the way you hope.

    Are they wiping?

    could be any time but it's more likely the week after experimental goes to .49
  24. Did you know hackers are able to detect other hackers? They use their radar to get average speeds of people in their bubble. It's easy for them. Begs the question of why a server based system can't do the same. And apparently there's a lot more hackers on servers than we even know. Most of the time they turn off their hacks so to us they look like normal players. You can imagine when the loot economy is centralized and certain items are limited who will end up with those items: Hackers. And what will they do when they find them: sell them. Battleye is like a virus checker that can detect known viruses. Basically they download known hacks make a signature of the files then try detect them on a players hd/in memory. Most of the bans are just kids who bought hacks. There's people have been running esp/speed-running etc hacks since day one undetected. Also seeing private shards as the answer is just admitting defeat to hackers imo. Surely the budget is big enough that bi can proactively attack these fucks?
