syncmaster (DayZ)

You are on fire man. Who are you to decide what is "valid" or not and what makes you think you know what the mod is supposed to be all about. I would say that is up to rocket/dayz team, and they have (tried to) put a stop to it.

Followed by one of the best posts I've read in a while. People seem to forget about permadeath and just look for ways to get around it. Hoarding stuff of map is the sure fire way to beat death. At least inside the game map your stuff is never 100% safe. I imagine someday people will be forced to really die, and I expected a lot of complaints and people leaving the game. It will be a great day for the real dayz community.

This is the worst post I've ever read on these forums, and that is saying a lot. First you admit that you agreed at one point, but then you finally found a few cars and want to so the same thing. On top of that, now you are insulting people who agree with the same thing you once did. The only ones being "carebears" are the people who want their cars to be untouchable. Stop blaming hackers because its impossible to hide anything bigger than an ATV.

Another tip. If you notice your ATV bouncing or moving slightly downhill on its own, don't try to stop it with your body.

I was just about to post the same thing.. 10k users in 3 years!?!? Good to know we might lose .05% of the hackers this month. Does battleeye cover any other games out there.. Would be funny to find out this is over 6 other games too.

So I'm going to amuse everyone here who is so against this has never: Used a torrent Watched a bootleg movie Downloaded a MP3 etc.. Don't bother answering that. I know there is not 1 person on these forums, mod or otherwise who really gives a damn about the morality of these type of things.. Please stop being fanboys guys. It makes you look really bad. I love this mod to and what Rocket has done just as much as you, but I'm not about to act like a phony and get all uptight about something we all have done. .

The DayZ team doesn't make the laws anywhere last time I checked. I would only say it frowned on by some of the hardcore fanboys, and the devs of course. Even though most of them are probably sitting on a few gigs of pirated movies/music.

Seriously how do you guys die so much when you team up? I can get everything I need and get off the coast solo about 90% of the time, and live for days if a hacker doesn't get me. This is without the advantage of having someone to watch my back. This should only be a 1 time thing, that's the whole point of this game! You know, that perma-death and all. If this is really happening that often then the problem is not the game or the spawn points. Its you, plain and simple. Read some noob survivor tips or stop trying to kill people then complain when you die.. There is really no excuse to have to meet up with your friends constantly.

I was carrying around 1 for a while just looking for an excuse to use it. I finally found a bus and decided to try my aim. I ended up almost killing myself and the bus was undamaged. Ran a few miles though the forest and stopped to check a text on my phone. My guy started tossing another frag. I run away from the blast and stop, guy throws another one. All 3 blasts injured me but I was able to live though it. I finally got him to stop bugging out, and when I went to check my inventory, I still had my single frag. After that I put it in my tent and just keep it as a novelty item. No point is using up an inventory spot on something that will just kill me one day.

Where is the part where you get transported to the tunderdome or the hacker breaks everyone's legs? False advertisement IMO.

Sorry that you have to look at a few extra threads so that another million people won't waste their money on Arma2 thinking its secure.

If you have a problem with this, then maybe these forums are not for you.

I don't know why people think this is special for this game. I own a 360, PS3, and a PC. I play them all online and let me tell you, this BS is all over. 75% of all players I've come across in online gaming have been complete scum. Even if you take away hacks and every known exploit, they find a way. If they can't, expect them to do anything to get the win. The only thing this mod shows us is that if you give the players a cheat button 9 out of 10 people will use it. You have to force most people to play legit or they will take advantage of anything.

You would have to remove storage for cars too, not sure if that can be done. I get your point and also wouldn't remind them being removed for the time being. In the end I hope they can fix them, because I do like them in the game. I just hope in the end a better method can be used so they are not so game breaking. You should NEVER be able to get gear back after you die. It's simple things like this that make or break a game like this IMO. Exploiters gona exploit though. Give them any chance and they will take advantage, even if it means buying a 2nd account for tent saving.

I decided to try out a private server to see what all the fuss was about.. Here is a short summary of my experience. -Global chat was on and everyone was chatting and being friendly, but of course KOS is still the norm. -No crying or complaining, there were even a few good sports who congratulated their killers, myself included. -The admin was on the whole time helping out and answering questions, he even increased the vehicle count to 35 for us. -I found a ATV at a known spawn (first time I've ever found one not counting hoarder's camps) and there were 4 other reports of vehicles (1 was a chopper) over chat while I was logged on. -My FPS and connection were just amazing. I never knew just how good this game can look when you can actually see that far. Also how much of a disadvantage I was at before. And of course, I didn't get thunderdomed every 5 minutes. In fact I saw quite a few messages pop up that people were blocked from joining because of this or that, with a few mentions of Battleeye.. Didn't really understand it but I've never seen anything like it on hive servers. Would lead me to believe that they DO have better protection like I've read, but I don't state things like fact (like everyone else on the internet) unless I know for sure.

Yeah post the servers or gtfo. Maybe the hackers just like their own kind, and make an exception for childish trolls.

I was going to give you a free coyote backpack until I read your post. Why not just use a script and you can spawn anything you want?

For me personally I can't find any servers that are not hacked 24/7. At least nothing close to a decent ping, obviously I can't play on Europe servers if I don't live there. No single player Private not allowed It means its unplayable for me. Idk how it is for you, but if you have better luck please share your secrets if you have found a way to play.

This is the wrong place for 90% of posts made here. Once we can play the game we will probably start talking about it again.

These threads have stopped people on other forums I visit from buying Arma2. So if anything I would say these topics help something and don't HURT anything. If you are going to comment on posts not being started in the right place, its a little like complaining about bandits in the game. DayZ is the wrong forum for you. Moderation of the forums is more rare than Mountain Dew.

Arma 2! Has a huge cheating problem and it will not be fixed. If you plan on playing dayz, probably best to wait for a standalone.

I got out in time on the last attempt but lost both primary weapons. Spawning at the NW airfield with out a gun is a strange feeling.

Yeah I play on low pop servers to avoid hackers even though I've never seen one. They must just not mess with the people who live in the barracks.

Yeah hacking is not going to get any better until we get a standalone. I don't mind these posts though because Arma should not sell another copy of this game based on YouTube videos from the first few weeks of DayZ.

Are you in the US? If so let's team up for a day, or until you have been teleported/killed so much you rage quit.
