1,048,502 and only 173,365 online on the WEEKEND
Zarathustra (DayZ) replied to KVCC's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I don't think anybody is claiming that it's low - only that it's 25k less than a couple of weeks ago. -
1,048,502 and only 173,365 online on the WEEKEND
Zarathustra (DayZ) replied to KVCC's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Damn it, I posted this in the other thread you made - if this is the proper one, I'll post it here: I think the highest it has been all week was 174,000 on Monday or Tuesday. There might be more tomorrow, considering it's a Sunday and the new patch has been released. But yes, I know what you're getting at! A few weeks ago the number was over 200,000 - the number of players seems to be going down. Well, I have stopped playing regularly, and I have two friends who have done the same. Why? The rampant cheating. I logged in yesterday, just to check I wasn't one of those hit by the erroneous BattleEye bans, and it took only 5 minutes for some cunt to teleport me. 5 minutes! -

Sick of hackers? Then stop whining and help fight back.
Zarathustra (DayZ) replied to dontgetmadgeteven's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
If you mean S0beit's site, then I think it gets attacked now and then - that's why he changes server. Bastard deserves it. Anyway, I like what you're doing. I can't help but feel that hiring a botnet and DDoS-ing their sites would probably be more effective though. :) -
Cheating out of control
Zarathustra (DayZ) replied to fraktal's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Oh wow, thank God for your sarcastic ridicule of the numerous hacker threads. You have saved the forum by doing so, since no one else has ever mentioned this problem before. /sarcasm -
Im done, hackers win...
Zarathustra (DayZ) replied to corruptshadow's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Yes, I'm done with DayZ too. As are two of my four friends who play the game. Hopefully the stand-alone will have tighter security, otherwise, with the same problems, it will become the game that was killed by cheats. It would be a shame for this to happen to a game that was as ambitious as DayZ. -

GTFO, script-kiddie. -
(PvP) How do you die?
Zarathustra (DayZ) replied to Taggert1313's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
No option on poll for hackers. Bad poll. -
You're bothered by all the PvP? Well, at least that's part of the game. Wait until you get teleported into the sea, teleported into the sky, teleported into the 'thunderdome', nuked or turned into a cow/goat/rabbit/zombie.

Not about survival anymore..
Zarathustra (DayZ) replied to sublbc's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I'd say the hackers are a contributing factor to the increased PvP. What point is there in aiming for any long term goal when you can be randomly killed at any moment, through no fault of your own? Better to just pickup the first weapon you come across and head to Cherno or Elektro for some combat. -
Screw the hacking! Finally dogs!
Zarathustra (DayZ) replied to Novalis's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Are you looking forward to having your dog turned into a goat? The hackers are going to love the addition of dogs... -
Umm, that's what I said. And the latter figure is going down.

Waiting4nxtPatch and dogs...
Zarathustra (DayZ) replied to eldritch (DayZ)'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
It seems pointless to introduce dogs at the moment. It's only going to result in a slew of posts like 'Hackers killed my dog!', 'I was thunderdomed and now Fido is stuck in the wilderness!' and, last but not least, 'Hackers turned my dog into a goat!'. And they'd be right. Fuck dogs, fix hacking. -
The total number of unique players is going up, but this is just the number of people who have made a character at some point in the mod's life. Watch as the 'players in last 24 hours' value drops. It was exceeding 200,000 players a few weeks ago, but it's now going down. My friends and I have quit, and I guess many others will too.

This game is full of A-holes
Zarathustra (DayZ) replied to MikeTee (DayZ)'s topic in New Player Discussion
MikeTee, the game is far from at its best right now. If you'd been here back in May or June, you would possibly have had a quite different experience. Hackers have, more or less, destroyed the game. Leave DayZ for now, and try again when it becomes stand-alone or when the hacking is less rampant. -
Hackers, and the state of the standalone game?
Zarathustra (DayZ) replied to KetchupOnTheDog's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
You want to know how common the hacking is? This is a post from a script-kiddie on a hacking website - they're discussing why they hack: Yes, that's right, even hackers are getting fed up with how many hackers there are! When one script-kiddie sends everyone to the thunderdome, he does it to all the other cheaters on the server too. -
PvE servers and safe zones would destroy the game. In Rocket's own words: This is a PvP game; stop trying to undermine that. You will not get PvE servers; there will be no compromise on this. Go and play something else.

Anyone else...run out of things to do?
Zarathustra (DayZ) replied to Hendrix27's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I still enjoy hunting players and I still feel that dizzying rush when I get into a firefight. It's a shame then that I haven't been able to get my fix of DayZ for over a week now - but as long as the hacking is as rampant as it is, the game remains unplayable for me. -
Global Bans for legit players?

Thousands of legit players? Pfft. More like cheaters who thought they'd been extra careful.- 953 replies

Nah, not anymore. Since that Arma patch that nerfed some weapons, the Ak-74 is now less powerful than the M16s. So it's now an easy choice: the M16.

In game Brony Meetup!
Zarathustra (DayZ) replied to Rokor Fenix's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
You realize a furious alliance of bandits, hackers and mlp haters will descend on this meetup and eviscerate you all ten times over? But of course you do! Bronies actively invite persecution as your identity is predicated on your victim status! -
Got killed by hackers 3 times today.
Zarathustra (DayZ) replied to Jimmy McNulty's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Are you willing to have the same thing happen to you over and over again, everyday? Have each mile-stone marred by unforseeable deaths entirely beyond your control? If so, keep playing. If not, then I suppose, like me, your Day Z days are numbered. -
DayZ Survival Guide
Zarathustra (DayZ) replied to [email protected]'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I'm not sure how much use this is when the biggest threat to player survival is cheaters/hackers/script-kiddies who cannot be avoided. -
His post was a satire. Sigh.
