He has whatever it will take for you to go out to his designated kill zone.

No twenty words

Its obvious why the "hackers are everyhwere!" mentality is taking off. The game is gaining so many new players that there is a glut of inexperience. With that inexperience comes people dying in town to someone they didn't see, dying to someone who has a gun they have never seen, and just plain ignorance of game mechanics. More and more people also watch a youtube video of some hacker nuking a server and then assume thats the norm. It isn't. I have played on at least 15 different servers over the past month and the populations have ranged from 10-40 people. I have probably spent upwards of 150 hours this month playing the game if my steam is to be believed and you know how many hackers I have come across? None. Do I think hackers don't exist? Of course not, but I know they aren't on ever single server every single hour of every single day spamming nukes and airplanes like you would think after reading these forums. As for loot, no loot doesn't matter. But what cannot be allowed to happen is for people to have private servers where they can stock up on their dmr's and nvg's then move them over to their tent city on a public server and have no fear of actually losing anything. Rocket wants us to feel a permanence through death, and permanence doesnt mean being able to run up to your tent city after you die, reload your gear, then head back to your pvp area of choice and keep shooting.

Oh look, another "you aren't playing the way you are supposed to" post. And would you look at that! The "correct" way to play is the scenario where the OP doesn't die in a high risk area. Sorry you died, if your character means that much to you then you should avoid high risk areas and you probably will live a longer. This is a dangerous game, and many people like it that way. Rocket has stated many times that PVP is integral to the game, and he doesn't mean the kind of pvp where you can stay in a safezone until you decide you are ready to interact with the pvp. Living longer than an hour or two involves staying out of major cities and pvp hotspots until you have a firm grasp on the game and the gear to back it up. Otherwise expect to die, and don't come to the forums crying about how everyone else is playing the game wrong.

Losing players? no, it isnt Cheaters running rampant on every server? no they aren't Streamers turning to cheats because of all the bugs and cheaters? no, they aren't Allowing servers to be locked? I prefer rich people didn't have access to their own private loot servers. What can save the mod? It doesn't need saving so the question is moot.

There's yer problem right there, you think this is other games and you actually get attached to your survivor.

No....just.........no

No, it gives people an incentive to "farm" for the skin they want and divides the population. It also does the exact opposite of what rocket intended the experiment to do, get people to interact.

90% huh? Can I see those server logs? weird, I've been playing all week just fine

Seems like they spawn very fast at chopper crashes. I have noticed this as well so you aren't going crazy lol. No idea if it is a bug or intended.

Loot is generated by the server and if i recall correctly, is generated when you come within spawn range (300m or so).

There is none. Its an anti-game experiment so go out and experiment, whether alone or with friends.

So why are you making another post instead of posting one of those other threads?

Rocket has repeatedly said this is not a zombie survival game. They aren't even technically zombies. This is an anti-game experiment that tests human interaction with an environment. The Zed are a small piece of that experiment.

a good bandit is in the game, playing how they want and having fun. a bad bandit sits on the forums all day trying to figure out how he is supposed to have fun.

Sent you a skype request!

my thoughts exactly! I think a good way to keep the guns in game for those who like them while also adding to their intrinsic value would be to severely reduce their ammo supply. That way your dmr will be a gun you only pull out when the right opportunity presents itself and there is a lot on the line.

I would prefer if any caliber bigger than a handgun was extremely rare/nonexistant. Nothing more intense than walking up on another survivor when you both have pistols and for half a second you both are like deer in the headlights. Not dissing snipers, it definately takes some skill to make those 300m shots when the target is full sprint, just think it would add a lot more tension if those high caliber rifles were the exception rather than the norm. But thats just my opinion =)

Me and my friend are looking for a clan like yours, i sent you a steam and skype request so hit me up!

hindsight is 20/20 i guess, when someone shoots in my general direction and i dont know them im going to assume they are trying to kill me. yea didn't know you could get that look through legitimate options. That's why the title says possible hacker =) And yes i did alt-f4, i wanted to keep playing so i decided rather than sit and wait for the unconscious timer for a couple minutes and be killed by the zombie nearby anyways, i decided to just alt-f4 and respawn. tldr: turns out this wasn't a hacker so nothing to see here =)

seems like the same person hacking in http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/34235-hacker-in-stream-helping-streamer-hacked-gear/ starts at 4:50:00

Blocking out info does work, but if you don't the least you could do is KoS any known hackers instead of running along with them. You can preach your anti-hacker stance all you want, but when you practice it by willingly playing alongside them it doesn't really matter what you say because everyone knows you play with hackers.

I really like this idea, it helps people keep in touch with strangers they meet but don't feel like traveling together right at that moment.

Or let server owners choose and then you spend 15 seconds finding a server that doesn't allow it.

Enjoy =)
