Huh. Never would've guessed.

Holy shit this is seriously the best thread on the forums right now. I haven't laughed this much in awhile! I cannot wait to see this, please somebody FRAPS the whole thing. I want to hear the bronies'(sp?) final neigh as their superiors put them down. Feel free to overanalyze the previous sentence, Mr. Psychology. The white knight bronies in this thread are hilarious. The point isn't to ruin other people's fun. The point is to have fun. If the bronies don't want to die in a game where killing is the general pastime, they should probably go back to My Little Pony Island Adventure. That, or defend themselves. This is awesome. I am eagerly awaiting the result, one way or the other.

Gotcha. If it isn't changed in the standalone version I'd just think of it this way. Seeing as how it's the zombie apocalypse, obviously the already 'bad' people that exist will become worse. I would think that in that current state, the term bandit could be interpreted different ways. More than likely it would still refer to being robbed and things like that but in this hypothetical future I think people would use terms like bandit to describe the ones that rob and kill you as well. That said, my guess is that it's 'bandit' simply because it works for the game. It sounds kind of cool and for the people who are bandits can say proudly "I'm a bandit". Saying "I'm a murderer." would be more accurate but hardly has the same feel and connotation. I think the most appropriate term to replace bandit should be highwayman. Seems like it fits a little better with how the word is used in books/movies/tv.

You didn't answer my question. Why do you care what people call themselves? You can certainly play the game any way you want (hence the 'to each their own') but I'm simply wondering why this is such a big deal to you since you don't even interact with bandits, aside from self preservation I assume. Don't take this as me attacking your stance. I just want to see your side of the argument, putting aside the literal and interpretive definition of the word 'bandit'.

If only there was some sort of forum where we could report cheaters! Oh, you need evidence? Fuck that, spam general discussion!

That's fun? To each their own I guess but this begs the question: Why do you care so much about what people call themselves if you don't even actively participate in ANY of it? You sit in the woods, kill pigs, cook them, eat them, kill a few zombies, and just suddenly decide "I really don't like how this term 'bandit' is being used." ? Just trying to find some logical thought in this.

Holy fuck, it's a game. Stop analyzing words in a dictionary just because it doesn't fit the definition EXACTLY. What a dumb thread.

Most likely somebody was loot cycling. Loot won't respawn unless the spot is empty so people pick up everything and dump it in one spot. That way the new loot can spawn.

He's saying you're an idiot for making another thread about hackers because there are already 500 threads saying the exact same thing.

Uhh actually the Bizon is very good for zombies. Shoot them in the head once and they die and you won't pull any additional aggro due to the whole 'silenced' thing.

Yes, exactly this. I can't believe that this is considered 'regular'. Free rangefinders for everyone? With names? Lame!

I love to practice with the Lee Enfield. The distance is obviously going to be short range (~400ish meters. My farthest killshot was 416 meters.) but it will definitely help you learn the bullet drop physics. When you can snipe at a teeny tiny dot, see the bullet hit the ground and adjust from there to get a kill, without a scope, you're doing it right. If you're looking for a good practice spot I would recommend the top of the Elektro hospital. The only real danger is from snipers on Dobry and even then it can be a pretty difficult shot to hit you from there. The air conditioner box things on the roof make for some fairly decent cover. But you should definitely expect to die. It's just a really nice vantage point over the school and surrounding area. The school especially. I use third person to scope the area though so if that isn't your thing, this spot might not be for you. Plus, it's free kills for you when someone thinks they can get easy medical loot on the roof. I also play on veteran servers so you can't see nameplates/distances. Hope this helps!

I was getting rage-y from reading all these "WAHH HACKERS" threads but god damn did this make me laugh. :lol:

Wait, there's hackers in this game? And it needs to be fixed? Wow, we should make like 500 threads about this and spam the fucking forums day and night. Then I bet rocket will get off his lazy nonworking ass!

Guys, you realize they're still working on things like finishing the game, right? I'll say what I've said in another thread: We have the privilege to play Day Z right now. Rocket could have just as easily not released anything but videos and screenshots. Or even less than that. But no, he released a rough, unfinished alpha to us. He didn't need to. He's even giving us free updates as they come. How fucking awesome is that? How many games have any of you been involved with at the alpha stage? Getting rid of the hacking is probably high on their extremely long list of things to do but, good god, understand that it takes time to create a game. It takes time to squash bugs. It takes time to add features. And it takes time to fix engine vulnerabilities.

So I read the thread title and thought "Haha, like that shitty movie? This thread might be funny!" Boy was I disappointed.

Damn, I would have been out of there so fast! If that guy is the server admin then he's playing a very dangerous game..

Also reddit leaking.

As I said before, I was talking about Day Z and not ARMA II. You jumped into a conversation and didn't know what I was referring to. Apologies for the insinuation. But yes, 100% agree that it's Bohemia's fault. Hacking in this game was barely a problem before Day Z. Now that it's prevalent they are giving it the attention it deserves. It was simply unprepared for. Try to understand that it's a slow process. People don't seem to get that. I'm sure that making the game more secure is high on their list of priorities at the moment.

You do understand that it's not up to rocket to fix the ARMA II engine? And my point in saying that in the first place was that CS had an official release before Kingsix started playing it. Day Z has not had an official release because it isn't done. What we have right now is the privilege to play Day Z as it gets developed and updated. When Day Z is officially released, there still might be hackers, but it won't be anything like what we're seeing now. This is temporary.

Fixed this for you. Do you understand yet?

It's called alpha because it's an unfinished product. Stop acting like you're entitled to a fully working complete game. You did not buy Day Z. You got it for free. I'm so sick of people acting like they deserve ANYTHING from rocket. You aren't entitled to shit. You downloaded a free mod that isn't even in beta yet. Try looking up threads, like, one month ago. There will hardly be anything about hackers. This 'important stuff' has only recently become a larger problem, mostly due to the insane hype the game is getting. Take a guess why we haven't heard from rocket in a couple days. Maybe it's because he's working on finishing the game. Take five and just chill, man. It'll get done. These things take time.

So why did you keep throwing yourself at people you knew were hacking? Why did you stick around and let the hacker kill your entire squad after it was painfully obvious he wasn't going to die? You could have avoided practically all your deaths today. If you suspect someone is hacking here is tip/rule/life lesson #1: Change servers

Did you save everything? But a server restart can also be the culprit, unfortunately.

I probably would have made the same choice. Though I do have a weird taste in guns. I haven't tried all of them yet (most of them, in fact) but right now my favorite is the Lee Enfield. It seriously has to be so damn annoying to be killed by that thing. I got a 416 meter snipe with it today, my farthest yet (on the Lee).
