Um, when did Counter Strike get declared 'ruined'? ...No. Just no.

Seriously. If there was ever a good time to be nuked, that's it. You should feel lucky.

People need to stop dividing by zero. Problem solved.

Beat me to it.

How do you know they were NPCs? Sounds like a group of hackers to me.

Two days ago I was in the middle of nowhere with two friends, and suddenly a guy teleported right behind me and gunned me down. One of the guys with me was able to flank him, and after putting two clips into his head, concluded that the guy had some sort of god mode. Also, I've been mass teleported, and yesterday the server I was on got nuked and everyone died. To be fair, there's definitely been a spike in hacker activity recently. I'm sure you'll run across it soon, don't despair.

Maybe you should just nut up or shut up. Nobody says you have to play this mod. Rocket will deal with the hackers whenever he decides it's a priority. I'm pretty sure he's aware that any attempt to release a finished product with poor cheat protection is foolish. Spoiler alert: It's still an alpha.

Sigh. I guess it's the nature of the game, then, that makes hacking more visible/devastating. Conclusion: Permadeath = more QQ. Anywho, thanks for the replies ^_^

Love this idea. You, sir, have my beans.

The problem doesn't lie with Rocket, AFAIK. Rocket doesn't manage the anti-cheat end of things, BattlEye does. Or doesn't, as it were.

So why does it feel like VAC/Punkbuster gives admins more tools to combat hackers? I've been a part of the Battlefield community for years, and our clan was known for our strict anti-cheat policies on our servers. PB/VAC gives tools to actively detect and investigate hackers in ways that BattlEye seemingly does not.

I know that. I'm just saying, since BattlEye is notoriously poor, why does ARMA 2 continue to use it? Could a switch be made in Arma 2, and therefore DayZ? Just wondering if it's even possible.

I like the OPs idea of making more actions require another player to perform, a la bloodbags. Simply making loot rarer is counterproductive, however. It'll just give people more incentive to shoot you on the coast for your bandage and painkillers.

Dammit you beat me to it. <_<

Okay, so after respawning on the coast yesterday and running about 4 clicks, something occurred to me: Why are my hunger and thirst levels depleting just as fast as when I was fully kitted out?! Now, before you all jump on me, I know that it works like that in dayZ right now, but seriously, this needs to be tweaked! Let me explain: If I spawn on the coast with a tiny coyote pack and four items on me, movement should consume less food and water. Here's why this is such a good idea: It introduces a new level of tactical strategy into the game: - New spawns would have a better shot at making it North without having to hit up Cherno or other major cities in order to get food and water, reducing the incentive for Bandits to camp these cities in order to PvP. - Make it work both ways, too: If you're lugging that huge AS50 around, for example, you should have to eat and drink more often! Got a coyote backpack filled up with items? Make sure you have plenty of food and water on you, because it's going to run down your hunger/thirst levels a lot quicker. This trade off would force people to think more carefully about what they carry, and add a level of realism into the game. TL;DR? There should be a gear weight system in place that directly affects your rate of food/water consumption.

This isn't a glitch. This is deliberately triggered by a hacker. Search the forums, it's well-documented.

It's possible this is a newly-introduced weapon. Or a hacker is just going around dropping them randomly: http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/43664-m12-spr/

Personally, I find your tears delicious. om nom nom nom

For this, you get my beans.

Brb, going to make a thread whining about threads that whine about threads whining about hackers.

Protip: Downloading a program from RapidShare = 100% increased chance of viruses. /trololol

...It'd be nice to see what you're dealing with is all. What can I say, I'm a visual person ^_^
