I quit playing this game about a month ago. So many hackers; so little fun. What did I do? Went out and got a life. Ok, re-got, actually. I hadn't worked for 7 months (thanks to Bush/Cheney crashing the world's economy), but got employed a week ago by a Big 3 oil company and more than I was making at another Big 3. Ah, such is life. But - even if I were still unemployed, this game sucks balls. Sure, it's alpha; cheaper to have us test it than hire REAL programmer/gamer types to test it. Ah! Rocket went to the BIll Gates school of software development! Write it and let the end-user test it! And Gates was never a programmer or a manager; he was a con artist; conned the guy who wrote DOS out of his software by lying his ass off. Much like Rocket is conning us out of money and time. Being in alpha isn't about debugging it or they wouldn't be banning people for hacking; stopping the hack attacks is what they OUGHT to be doing, and they can only do that NOW (cause they are out of development) by having real script kiddies and hackers beat on the product. It's free; if it cost $60 I could see banning people. But not for frickin' FREE. Rocket needs to man up, buy a pair, and fix the system (since it will stay a mod as well as go separate). I've written software for 30 years, and in my life I've never seen such a POS, nor have I ever seen an Alpha released to the public. And then they BAN people accidentally (cause BI are MORONS) and don't unban them??? They must be Republicans. No morals, no honor, no courage and no shame. Fuck this; I'd rather be forced to dig out my Pong game and play it non-stop for 48 hours than play this again. And even if I was forced to play, I wouldn't ever play with someone who cheats others out of the cost (time and money) of ARMA/DayZ) like Rocket/BI do with the 'accidental' bans. (I already said that banning in Alpha is stupid, but I wanted to clarify this one point.) BI/Rocket are, to me, thieves and liars and have no honor. Worf would tear them a new one.

It seems, that since weapons are eventually saved to the server, that Rocket could inspect everything saved in backpacks, tents and vehicles, and eliminate non-Dayz weapons, whatever. But - no; that seems to easy - plus, I'm sure he's too busy shuttling back and forth to the bank.

Um... not. Of course, if the Arma guys and Rocket spent as much time hacker-proofing the system as they spend developing new mods/features, we wouldn't have this problem. The real issue is that hacker-proofing games does not pay. Where's the ROI? I quit Battlefield 3 because of hackers; it was the first multi-player game I'd ever played - this was the 2nd. Now, this is the 2nd game I'm quitting. Lame developers more interested in new content than fixing current content; developers not interested at all in stopping hackers. Why are there companies like EvenBalance and Battleye? Because developers can't be bothered to protect their games. The existence of EB and BE are proof that developers are just greedy hacks that don't care about the users.

Typically, it's hackers like you that disparage people who report hackers. I'm surprised your handle isn't "you mad bro?".

If you think the cheating is going to be diminished - you're dreaming. Artificial Aiming just announce an aimbot/ESP for Arma. They were busted on BF3 (not sure if they're back up yet) as was another group. Hackers are lame; the best punishment is that they have to live with themselves - and they never change as they get older. They're always asswipes.

Have you ever noticed that it's hackers that disparage hacker reporting? I ran into that a LOT on BF3. It's just that over there, the hackers are more clever most of the time. Here, they're just children who's parents give them too much money - instead of giving them parenting. Studies have shown that cheats grow up to be cheats; no ethics or morals.

Yeah; lots of luck getting anyone banned.

Was in 3rd person; no-one around. No sound - just died. THEN - someone msged me that their 'bro' had killed me in another server yesterday. Yesterday, I was hacked, also. How would anyone know who they killed unless they picked them to die?

I would like to suggest that the option to remove trees/grass be taken out. AYFKM?? I killed a guy in a Ghille suit; he was the lone clump of grass on a slope that looked like it had just burned. Of course, he saw grass right around him, so I'm sure he thought he was hidden. NOT! Makes a Ghille suit useless. If a kid's computer can run the game, they shouldn't be playing. Just another GREEDY mod by Rocket to up the player count, and I'd like to suggest that he get a life.

Hard to know what you're talking about. The post is ALL about KICKing, until this part, and it has to do WHAT with the rest of the post? Logically, when you talk ONLY about kicking, and then say, "In short..." - that makes no logical sense. How do you sum up a talk about kicking by issuing 3 sentences about banning? Dude, you need some sleep! ;)

I've been e-mailing with 'Anthony'; nothing was mentioned about this. Damage done. I'll have a registered agent's name and phone number soon; filing suit through Harris County Precinct Court #5 in Houston, TX for my refund. I don't sue people often (once every 4 or 5 years), but I've never lost. Then again, I have a 1000 member law firm in Houston to lean on if I bump it up to Federal District Court (my father was Senior Partner, Vinson and Elkins, for 30 years). And since my dad, 90, is still around, I usually get all of the help I want. Now - if you want to make it a class-action suit, that's fine with me (non-performance of contract). Just msg me here and if enough do, I'll post my e-mail.

So - YOU can get something done if we post said info? Is that a promise or just swamp gas?

Yeah - and neither of those things will happen. Just look at Battlefield 3; RIFE with hacks - and nothing (almost) is done. Just today, a friend was playing on a server and killed another player. About 2 minutes later, he's turned into a goat. I had no idea that that could be done, and while it's funny as hell <LOL!>, my friend lost his weapons and his SUV. THEN - after about 5 minutes, he suddenly died for no apparent reason. Players have no power - forget that. I have a server that I've stopped and am going to go thru PayPal to get my money back on because HFB Servers can't make it work right, and if I don't get my money back, I'll file in Precinct Court (in Texas). I've never lost a suit yet, and yes - I sue corporations about once a year. Remember, corporations are people, my friend!

As it turns out, my worthless provider HFBservers.com,has exactly that. You lock/pw a server and you get an automatic email and your server is stopped. 3rd time and you get locked until you talk with HFB. So - as I've said before, if you can give me access, then do it - or STFU. Your denigrating others is just boring. Obviously, you're mad at your mommy and take it out on everyone here, and - for whatever reason - defend the worthless twits who are waiting to sell DayZ to the highest bidder.

Whew! Finally! Someone able to give me access to the root system so that I can 'bring it on'! Just give me the link, a username/password to the admin and the same for development, and I WILL bring it on. Otherwise, STFU.
