Cyric (DayZ)

I usually make a thread like this after I've played a game for awhile to lighten the forums up a little. Basically the idea is to fill the thread with de-motivational poster jokes for people to read and enjoy. Here's the link to make your own: http://wigflip.com/automotivator/ INSTRUCTIONS: Click the link above and create your poster, then click "Save to imgur", once your poster has loaded, copy the "BBCode" link, and simply paste it in your reply. PLEASE REFRAIN FROM QUOTING OTHER POSTERS TO AVOID POSTER SPAM, THANK YOU.

Sitting at 1,002 currently.

I know nothing about this, but you get beans because I like your sig. :D

1. Yes. 2. Yes. 3. No. 4. Omfg, yes.

My thoughts are that once DayZ makes it to the standalone phase, it will potentially have a far greater security system in place. As described in some other threads, ArmA was originally designed for the military to use as a form of training. It is easily "hacked" because it was never intended for this sort of mainstream indie (contradiction?) attention, it was supposed to be easy to manipulate so that various training scenarios could be created easily. Unfortunately, due to this design, it's insanely simple for anyone with a decent understanding of scripting to inject their own "hacks" into the game. All that being said, I think that right now the skiddies are the biggest cause for concern and/or complaint. The bugs and all that jazz are easily muscled through, but we're forced to sit back and let Battleye handle the illegal scripts, which as you can probably tell from the zillion threads about it, isn't sitting well with DayZ players at the moment.

Didn't feel like reading the wall of text, which means I probably missed the entire point of your thread. Regardless, I used to be a DayZ fanatic... lately though, skiddies have got me down. I'm not as interested in playing anymore because I know within a couple hours, some skiddie is going to show up and fuck everything up. Also to note, I'm highly anticipating Guild Wars 2... soooo, yeah. Great mod, losing it's appeal though. War Z looks somewhat appealing as a finished product, but I feel that DayZ will be a far superior product in the end.

I picked the most dominant of my reasons as my vote, however I kill for a variety of reasons. I don't want to be killed by other players obviously, kill or be killed mentality. I always loot my kills, if for nothing more than curiousity, but more often than not you probably have something I'll claim as my own. In a way it is a bit more challenging, nobody can really deny that once you grow familiar to a zombie's patterns, there isn't much of a challenge. I also consider my murder counter a sort of measure of my survival success, in the sense of "this is how many survivors I've outplayed", a sort of survival of the fittest mentality if you will. I don't kill to prove I'm better, no leaderboards anymore anyhow. I don't just want people to die, I don't want to watch the world burn... I would be less inclined to kill if I wasn't sure every person I came across wanted me face down in a ditch so they could take my gear. P.S. None of my reasons are listed in any particular order.

EDIT: Welcome to PC gaming btw, you're in good hands. ;)

That's bizarre, I've never actually used one before so I don't know. Perhaps someone with a bit more experience in "unnecessarily explosive Dayz weapons" will pop into this thread and help out, lol, sorry pal. :blush:

Stupid question, but do you have ammo for it? :huh:

Because it isn't toggle-able. Gun is basically shit unless you already have NVGs and are playing on a night server. If you don't have NVGs, every time you look through the scope and pull away from the scope, your eyes have to re-adjust which puts you at a large disadvantage in a firefight.

... seriously? More than likely it's a mod for ArmA that none of us have ever seen because most of us flocked here because of DayZ. GG. <_<

Minus the whole jet thing, this looks pretty damn sick.

No need to ever drop your weapons again, I do this constantly so I can confirm it does work.

Depends, sometimes I lose 60 blood per tick and sometimes I lose 600 blood per tick. Regardless, I doubt you'll make it through a 5 minute timer.

For some reason the word "changelog" comes to mind after reading this.

Word on the street is 7 days minimum.

Lol, well done.

My logic is that as a griefer, the goal is to, essentially, shit on other people in an effort to amuse yourself. Whether your statement of "their time is running out" holds any truth or not I couldn't say, I would imagine, however, seeing everyone up in arms and publicly reacting is giving these hackers/skiddies the attention they're seeking. Not to mention, not all hackers are malicious asshats out to grief people, some hackers embrace the challenge of being able to bypass something or break something down much like a mechanic enjoys learning how cars work and/or modifying them to his/her liking. Food for thought.

I personally dislike the PDW, couldn't really tell you why. On the plus side, you can use basically any magazine containing 9mm rounds with it.

If I was a hacker skiddie that enjoyed griefing players in game, I'd imagine this is just the type of thread I'd like to see.
