It's not that they don't do anything. It's that they can't. DayZ is a mod that runs on ArmA2, which allows scripts, which consequently is what these script users... well.. use.

I tried going into balota the other day and There was a huge artifact in the center between the guard posts near the entrance. Shit looked like a langolier.

It's not too far fetched to imagine Rocket doing something similar to this. I mean just as an example mind you, look at Mojang and their "recent" hiring of the Bukkit team.

Pancake mix? I would've compared it to styrofoam.

Only if zombie numbers were increased. as it stands now even that wouldn't make them a threat.

No sir, I was not. I have no issues with PvP and thoroughly enjoy it in this game. My post was directed towards players like the ones OP described. Pretend to be friendly, shoot you in face.. or in this case,the back.

No, I think i'll stay put and keep standing in your way because why not? If you have a problem with that you may want to look up those aforementioned private hives. /end

Your thread title probably should have been " Zombies need to be the biggest threat. " Now, I understand Rocket said players are, but lets be honest here. If this were to actually happen you wouldn't waste precious ammo on another human unless it was absolutely necessary and those who do wouldn't survive long enough to do it again as they would eventually dwindle their supply and be defenseless.

Speak of the devil.

It's what happens when man-children gain access to the internet. Anonymity makes them feel safe so they act like they do without fear of repercussions. Games like DayZ where "Survival" is the point of the game just gives them an excuse. Then you get those same people on here saying "lolit'spartofthegame" but they seem to be confusing Survival for acting like a fucking tool. in the end, OP, You're better off learning from your mistakes and avoiding all possible contact with them and only trust people you actually know.

I wouldn't mind playing on a server where you find nothing but Maks and Hatchets and increased zombie/Player ration ( more zombies per 1 player )

Both sides of this debate have very valid points; however, I don't think it's really that hard to say to someone "Hey, in-case you didn't know, that weapon you're holding is hacked in and not allowed. Please discard it and continue on your way or we will be forced to take further action."

This guy has ALL my beans. Jesus Christ why can't more Scripters do this?

Was two days ago. Me and my friend were on our way to check out a deer stand Near Stary Sobor when all of a sudden I hear a Heli fly over head, it faded for a few seconds then came back. I told my friend to get the fuck down and under cover as there was a heli over-head. A few seconds later the fumpfumpfumpfump faded and we hear a massive explosion Adrenaline high we headed towards the sound finding the crashed Heli in an open field (yes I know) With my friend on over-watch I cautiously approach the downed heli. Alerted by a player skin standing upright I slowly crawled towards her (female skin) and realized the corpse just glitched. As I opened her Coyote Backpack she revealed to me a TWS, NVG 17 ( yes seventeen) Ghillie suits silenced pistols Satchel charges and a variety of other assorted goodies, During the looting process the hacker whom seemingly crashed the heli teleported back to us and killed me and my friend after we both put several rounds into her chest.

Take it however you will. It still stands to reason that in a game about zombies, "realism" shouldn't be that much of a factor that you have to disable chat.
