Dude, seriously? I guess you are new to DayZ to not realize sound problems are one of the biggest problems of DayZ and that they have never addressed in since at least 2012. You are asking the worst possible question here, besides hacking problems. I'd say the top two ignored issues are hacking and sound problems. Maybe summer of 2015 we might see working silencers and ambient sound issues fixed. But to ask right now means you have no idea how badly this is ignored.

But DayZ is nothing like a typical build. DayZ started out (and still has) massively broken core gameplay. We have such serious problems like simple button/controls not working hardly at all or extremely unreliable. So DayZ project should not be following the normal (just add shit still it's more broken) because DayZ stand alone alpha already started out with a massively broken core. To just add more crap ontop of current Alpha launch is a bad idea. In this case, they should have started working ONLY on the core so that the damn controls are at least half way freaking decent. Otherwise, how the hell can we test anything with such a massively broken engine? We can't even add more that 2 damn zombies in a whole city. How can we test the game with hardly any content because the engine is so crappy and broken?

Woe, Woe, Woe, there buddy!!!! We must not claim to have seen any hacks. You are going to get us all warned or banned.

Oh shit, you just got this whole thread locked down and closed as soon as a forum admin sees it.Don't you know you are not allowed to talk about how rampant cheating is in DayZ? To talk about hackers outloud is the worst thing you can do on this official forum. Apparently, if you say something negative, professional people who make a living at what they do will get their feelings hurt. If only my career had such a great gig that people were not allowed to say something negative because I can't professionaly handle the criticism. Please sign me up for BattleEye or Bohemia where no one is allowed to have a conversation in the public about where I might need to focus more.

Yes, Yes, Yes. The so called updates that you speak so highly of that you claim is why people play the game have nothing to do with the fun of playing DayZ. Who cares about new guns? The only update that was good was adding pathing that fixed part of the broken zombies. But besides that, every update added nothing no benefits to the real problems of DayZ. As every update comes, they waist their time and resources to give us the latest gun or other boring items instead of just spending a solid 6 months of fixing only the core and then giving us a meaningful update. What is good about updates except the update that helped zombies to recognize "some" walls?

God forbid we hold this game to any standards. Go look at 5 seconds of star citizen graphics and design and then look at what we have. The less we point out, the more DayZ can get away with this stuff.

Wow, the last patch had the stick crashing server glitch and the very next patch has a new way to crash the whole server? Thats ridiculous. Can we please stop getting updates? Im fine with zero patches for two years until the game is done. The game has not changed much in 10 months, its fun to play but not much different. Give patches only once every 8 months or more and people will like it better.

Yeah, hopefully the engine work will help man.

Yeah. Im just making it funny. You are probably right.

No. Im saying since they added loot respawning and loot persistance, it causes lag and desync.

Loot respawn or persistent loot? Engine cant handle anything right now. We will never see more zombies i guess.

Notice he just skipped over me pointing out that men wanting to eat boys or men is often sexually motivated ( if there is no scarcity). So its creepy man.

That's pretty sick because research indicates that men who are interested in eating others are normally sexually driven to do so in one way or another. That's why serial killers are the most commonly known people to do it. We have plenty of food in the game so why are you so interested in eating other men? LOL

For the short time that I've been checking out this cool forum I've noticed one thing in common with many of the topics/threads. Most of them have a little flame-war going on between several of the contributors whether it be the OP or other people who post. Now, what is a game without a little aggression and rivalry. Men argue, men fight. Some men shake hands.... it's all good. So my quesetion is, since we flame each other a little bit in every topic anyways, (If you don't believe me check out the recent "has anyone got a grenade kill" thread and look at the boys arguing about not posting their video proof. Why are we locking all Hack threads for fear of a few people arguing when people argue and flame each other about any topic? They are arguing worse than in many of the other posts that have been locked. The logic to lock up hacking posts because we can't handle a debate is lame. Did anyone cry because it was debated on how to address hacking? If they did, I'm sure they got over it. Hacking is a very serious problem and I think that by letting the discussions remain open, it would serve the developers and owners of DayZ with helping to find solutions. Don't let a few arguments get in the way of the communty of Dayz in having an open discussion that may help the developers find better solutions. By locking up hacking posts, it looks like DayZ project is simply ignoring hacking problems. That is the LAST THING DayZ needs is for the public to see evidence that hacking is being ignored. Please tell me how I'm dead wrong about this?

Thank you for sharing your opinion. And of course other people will disagree with me and say that talking about hacking may not really help. But to me, at least I would feel better talking about it. If we only have the ability to send information one way to an admin or developer, I feel like I'm sending information that is being tossed in a basket somewhere. Which may be untrue, but how do I know?

It blows my mind that we are still seeing awkward animations that cannot be interrupted if we decide too in case of danger or change in decision. Why am I still stopping completely during mid sprint, to awkwardly pull an ax that is already so close to my body? Why can't I interrupt a very simple animation if danger comes near me? Why for the love of Christ and holy men didn't they put 3 or 4 guys to dedicate tightening up these embarrassing controls months and months ago? What did they spend tens of millions of dollars on?

I'm talking out of "MY" ass? You say that the reason controls are terribly broken is because the Devs are being told to focus on security.... Focus on security? DayZ has been Hack-A-PALOOZA city since 2012. And the hacking actually seems to have increased in number since launching the alpha. So what do you mean they are focusing on security? So why don't you want me here? Because I ask good questions like why are these controls so bad?

Fair enough. Perhaps they are frustrated too. Sorry about that comment then.

Buy why add new animations before fixing horribly broken controls? Why in Jesus's name, would they add anything at all before fixing how hot buttons don't respond or how controls are so terrible we can't even interrupt/cancel a current action by hitting a new button? Why would they bother to add new animations when they could either fix broken animations and controls or just ignore it all together as they officially have done with hacking?

So instead of expecting a professional game company to produce tight controls that respond right away and thus allow the interruption/cancellation of a current movement if the player decides to do so..... we should just plan ahead of time when making a decision to make a movement? That's your answer to this? Seriously? If I hit a button, my damn player should respond. We should have not have to hope for the freaking best when we hit a button that our character will respond. And we should not have to accept that after 10 months of hardcore development that controls are so bad that we can't even interrupt/cancel any movement because the controls are so sloppy and broken. This is unacceptable and raises serious concerns for the completion of the game. Why do we have these serious problems with controls combined with the fact that they have officially made a publicly made policy to ignore hacking? We can't even make threads about hacking because they ignore this as much as bad controls.

Yeah, me too. They said they would do the Great Wipe after they addressed some hacking and duping... So they do the Great Wipe. But there is still hacking. So did they not lift a single finger to address hacking but they did the great wipe anyways, which did take old infinite mags out of game. But all the hackers can purchase the same damn hacks as before .49? Did a single hack get prevented at all? If they did try to stop hacks from working, then are all the hacks we see now newly scripted... and thus brand new hacks technically?

Fair enough. If it took all 75 to 100 people they have now to do other stuff than I guess you are right. Is it because they must first rewrite the engine before tightening controls? Is that a normal game development procedure? I can understand there might be reasons to put off addressing horrible controls. Just hoping someone can explain it better?

How is this pointless thread not deleted or locked but any thread about new hacks we have seen since the great wipe are hunted down like a rabid Gestapo agent?
