The whining answer to your question is that all the berry pickers think it will ruin "their" game, because everyone will play "ez" mode. But if everyone wants to play a certain way because it is more fun to them, why should we cater to the minority? Give them their berry picking mode and let us have our normal mode.

I have seen dozens. Not just seen them, I have been in combat and killed by DOZENS of hackers. Guys who lay prone and shoot about the map. Guys taking items out of my inventory. Two hackers ago guy took my magazines for my M4 and my MP5K out of my inventory. Hackers are drawn to players who are fully geared. They seem to like hunting down groups of us. They also mostly really suck at aiming. My last encounter with a hacker was in a server, [m4] clan, with myself and 4 clan guys, and two others. The clan guys were duping, judging by how they were resetting the server, and how certain guys would leave right before it happened, then when it came back up, all 4 would be back in again after 3 minutes or so. Anyway, I stuck around, hoping to find their spot and kill them all. I was as fully geared as I could possibly be, I had no interest in their loot, just in killing them for their glitching ways. Along my way I got thirsty. I stopped, cracked open a can, in the middle of a field, and BAM! Here comes a hacker, punching me in the head from nowhere. He landed one shot, and I knew what it was immediately. I canceled my drink, started running, and ran all the way to the bridge east of cherno, crouched down and crawled under it, so the hacker couldn't punch me as I logged. So while you guys may not run into them, I run into them almost every time my group plays. When we play together, we play in the most popular servers. We stick mostly to the coast. That is where you'll find them. You will know they are hacking when you see them moving faster than otherwise possible. They have invisible weapons, often times looking like fresh spawns, then gunning down groups of people. Sometimes they are friendly, and try to talk to us, to help us. We always tell them to fuck off. But flip side to this, is when I am playing by myself, and go inland, or am in a server that is not full, hackers are rare as fuck. I DON'T SEE THEM. However, see above. They exist. Now, you can continue believing they are really rare, or don't exist. But here I am telling you they do, and it is a problem. Choose to believe me or not, but I have NO REASON to lie to you about this. So while you have your experience telling you one thing, here you have me telling you another. Believe what you will, but the problem will not go away simply because you ignore it. Your games may not suffer from hacking, but my friends and I, our games do, and they do QUITE OFTEN. I hope this helps to clear things up. Either way, here is my testament to hacking in DayZ. It exists, and it is bad.

I have zero problems shooting you in dayz, game is fine the way it is. I stay. Deal with it.

I get good enough frames to PvP anywhere on the map, and my computer isn't super awesome. You want us to accomodate you based on your pc performance. Don't be so silly.

Play Farmville bro, right up your alley. No guns.

People hack because they suck at the game. They get pissed off, thinking kids are ruining the game with PvP, and they buy the hax to go do exactly what they hate the most. They think they are giving PvP and KOSers a taste of their own medicine. Seriously, if you had run across as many hackers as I have, you would notice, most CAN'T HIT SHIT. They are obviously not good AT ALL. Edit- Joke is on them though, I have been killed by hackers so much I now chalk it up to dying by the games glitches. I do not count it as a true death. More like something that happens that gives me more to do, curing a little of the boredom.

And to add. Looting will always be there. Its not going away. Anytime, anywhere, you can loot. It is basic. So when you have the option to get your gear back and get back to advanced things, like hunting, fishing, killing, take the option. Looting will always be there. The only people I find who like the game more when they are looting is addicts.

Killing yourself for a better spawn is power gaming. Casual gaming is playing by imaginary restrictions. Take full advantage of what the game allows you to do, as long as you aren't hacking/glitching. Anyone telling you that you are wrong for this is the true lame.

Starter weapon? Magnum.

When I go out looking to kill, I ditch my backpack. What do you need it for when you are dead? If you are looking like that, I imagine you are looking to kill, right? Kiss the backpack goodbye.

The trick is to not tell the state.

Used it yet? Is it even in the game yet? Isn't this game in alpha? You some kind of AUG fanatic? What is your angle here?

Gas mask+Tear gas(riots, end of the world, tear gas will be present)+smoke grenades.

Fell through the bottom of the crane furthest east in Elecktro, the one right by the shore. Happened last weekend.

Rekt.

Hey Big Boss, If you wanna give one up, my clan could use one. Or should I say one of our players, anyway. All he has to do right now is loot, until his new pc is all bought and assembled. I could trade you something. PM RAK? Fully-loaded M4?

Good time to practice the PvP. That is how I see it. I want my opponents to be as well armed as possible, this is a pretty good way to get that to happen. It isn't game-time yet, like you said, still alpha. Enjoy this opportunity. Get out there and test your survival abilities. Shit just got a lot harder! Excellent, right?

[pet]gerbil What makes me me is my skill with the kill. I play extremely cautious, but I play to kill. I kill any geared player who does not immediately recognize who I am and bow down before me. You might not know who I am, but I know me, and lemme tell you, I am a killer through and through. For me, it has gotten to the point where the game and its players, they rarely if ever kill me. The only things that have killed me in the longest time have been glitches, and hackers. The cool thing is I am absolutely alright with that. When hackers eventually kill me (and they do, eventually) I look at it as a way to gear back up, a temporary setback at best. While I am on the topic of hackers, let me say first I have run across dozens and dozens, too many to remember at this point I think. The funny thing is, I think most of those hackers, they are the guys who bitch and moan here and elsewhere about KOS, and how people aren't playing the game correctly. It would certainly explain why 9 out of 10 hackers are absolute trash at PvP. It would also explain why I am harassed more as a fully geared player than at any other time. But it is cool you shitheads, because like I said, I don't count dying to hackers as a loss. I look at it as a way to have a little more to do while I look for more people to kill. You shitheads actually add to my experience. Thanks. But yeah, if you see [pet] in your server, and you are armed, be aware, we are looking for you, we will find you, and we will kill you. We don't need your trash gear either, we will likely destroy it. You see, Chernarus is OURS, and you are on our fucking lawn. Prepare to die.

Two tents can hold like 6 guns total? Nothing wrong with that.

Lol, I love it when people decide it is time to go hunt bandits. They should look in the mirror.

Lootsplosion. Lootgasm? Lootsplosion.

Not to be a dick myself, but the guy is expressing his opinion, a valid one at that, and you are all over his ass, even telling him to find another game. You don't even know if these mechanics in their current state will remain the same. Maybe you don't like his opinion, but attacking him for sharing his thoughts is pretty mean, what gives you the right?

Found a pm rak today... No mag. The rarity of this weapon and its mag combined is insane. It should always spawn with an empty 15rd mag.

I wanna know where the damn PSO-1 scope went. Its my main defense against snipers...

560ti is good enough for this game which is rendered in dx9. It won't max it, but you'll be fine. Game is cpu bound, and only runs on two cores right now.
