Yeah good point. The only time I was alive after meeting random and armed players.... it was because I immediately retreated away but ready to defend myself.

Sorry man. That guy was a bitch plain and simple. Not everyone is a scummer like that but many are.

LOL Then it wouldn't be COD DayZ.

Fair enough. I did blow it out of proportion (what you said). I'm sorry and I apologize.

You are beyond lucky. I have played for 300 hours and have seen at leat 10 or 12 hackers. You can google that the teleportng speed hack and infinite magazines are real. You can see footage of all of it and even purchase the stupid hacks. They also make hacks that turn mosins into fully automatic... It's beyond bad man. You are lucky man.

Maybe the dedicated sound technician is testing new sounds and waiting to fix ambient sounds when the engine is more overhauled. This is just a guess because what else could be going on at this point with sounds.

LOL. It's pretty funny when you scope in at a zombie from 400 meters and they aggro. I'm actually impressed that they aggro from so far away. I know zombies are just place holders for now but I have to admit, I'm glad they are not too easy. My favorite part about zombies in the game so far is that when you shoot at someone, even if you miss them, they are distracted from defending themselves from zombies so it makes for some fun to watch moments. I hope a lot more activities are available with zombies in the complete game. If we can tie them to other zombies, or tie them to unconcious people.......

I love dayz more than another other game. And I very much wish it will be completed.

So you purchase games, spend hours to be entertained by them... but could give a flying rat's ass about how long it takes for them to be acceptable and not frustrating as hell.... and embarrassingly broken? Now I know why you yawn a lot, you don't give a shit about Dayz.

I'm not sure, wonder if it has to do with the same issue with melee attacks, since when we target/chose an object it's much the same mechanics? There has always been many glitches with looting bodies. Almost everytime I've ever fallen to death, my buddies could never loot my body even though I didn't fall that far. So just take this as another alpher moment.

Yeah, it's understood that because the current engine is so limited and maxed out by the persistent loot, loot respawn, plenty of desync issues.... they just don't want to add zombies because it would crash the whole game. This is why I'm so upset that they wasted so many months before and after the launch of the stand alone by not immediately working on rebuilding the engine or purchasing an entirely different engine. It's frustrating as hell. I think almost an entire year at least has been waisted.

Guys it's obvious. Once the balancing is done in the game we will have random spawns again. And with random spawns, people would suicide for a better spawn so it would be exploited. So this is why we don't have an easy suicide option in the game I believe. At least I believe we will have more random spawns again one day.

What are you talking about? Are you saying Dayz didn't make enough millions in sales to hire the same amount of staff as star citizen?Star citizen was started by a single guy, not an entire company like Bohemia with 50 million in alpha sales. Are you sure you want to go down this road of saying Star Citizen has 300 full time staff because they have more money than Bohemia? That makes no sense. Bohemia has the entire Arma series of games and the 40 to 50 million in Dayz sales alone, while Star Citizen was started by one freaking person (who did get a decent amount of start up money) and has 300 full time staff to make the game perfect when it's done.

Well, I think you are slightly misunderstanding. The hacks have been increasing for a long time before that announcement. And the announcement you speak of really only addresses that they are trying to stop duping which is just an exploit. I don't think they ever said they are doing anything to stop speed hacking/teleporting hacks from working. What they are saying in the announcement is that if they wipe the characters out, then all the current inifinite hacked magazines will be gone, and they want to prevent duplication. But, sadly, they never said they will try to prevent paid hacks to work. So in other words, we are pretty much fucked still because people can still buy the teleporting/speed hacks and maybe even newly working infinite mag creating scripts.

Star Citizen has over 3 major offices and over 300 full time staff. Got any other questions?

Great. Its a better chance for devs to see it methinks if its in the suggestions thread. Some people will say its too similar to left for dead game but i really think it would give us the feeling of fighting for survival. Great idea man.

I like it! Can you put this in the suggestions section? This might be the best way to have large numbers of zombies.

No one is attacking anyone. Just like we can be happy with the updates, others will not. Forums are great to hear both sides.

Oh.... I see. And since scum bag hackers want to ruin peoples day they use that tracker to keep attacking the same player. It makes sense now.

No serious company would have allowed only 35 staff members for the first 6 months, so I wish different company did own the concept.

But two different people said a hacker followed them to a second server. I agree that it sounds crazy.... But remember... These are paid hacks and it is very popular to create paid hacks for dayz since the game has so much weaknesses to hacks. A lot of talented hackers can make money creating clever hacks so its possible.

What the fuck? Hackers can follow you to a different server now? Jesus Christ.... Ok..... This is beyond ridiculous now. Who ever is making these kick ass hacks for Dayz should get hired by Bohemia. They could fix ambient sounds and bad zombies if they can write complicated hacks like this.

Yes, I agree. And you make a better point than me because as everyone can tell, I know nothing about game development. So it's hard for me to say what is wrong or what can be better. But in my gut, I know that things could have been more efficiently handled. That's all I know or at least feel. But DerDuderich makes a more clear example of what was mismanaged. So maybe in the end, I am wrong to criticize what they are doing NOW, perhaps NOW they are doing everything they can to fix the game. But over 9 months ago is maybe when they made some bad moves or didn't make enough moves to give the game a better chance of completion.

Yeah that's a good idea. I can't wait until Dayz is in Beta or after because I'm sure a lot of these issues will be addressed and probably for the better.

Yeah you either got your stuff stolen after you logged out (is your character in the same place where you logged off)? Or, are you nude and in a new location? This is a known but kind of rare spawn glitch.
