So basicly what ur saying is we should just accept that hackers will be around and killing us for their enjoyment while we cant do nothing. Everytime we make some kind of progress in the game just to be killed by some lowlife scum that press a "kill all on server" button and just deal with it and start over? Now this wouldnt work in the long run because people would either quit the game from frustration and anger because nothing was done OR go over to the scumside and start playing with hacks themselves which would destroy the mod in either way. I'm sorry but if this isnt a troll i must say its the most stupidest idea i ever heard and i dont think this game would survive something like that.

Are you kidding me? You just dont want to face the truth because it would ruin ur day and you just want to make this go away but, this is a very serious issue. I seen so many great games go down the drain were the creators rather add new features to the game and stuff to make more money and ignore the real issues (hackers) Which in this case aint the problem because rocket aint making a any money of this mod (yet) and the devs should focus on the real issues that might not even be possible to fix because of how weak the anticheat is. I mean a solo scripter with the right know-how to could destroy this whole mod on his own if he wanted to. If you say this is a lie you have no clue what a script can actually do to this game with a weak anticheat like BattleEye. This is all facts and you need to see the real problem here and stop pretending it will all be fine. I mean what can i possible achieve from "fear mongering aka use scare tactics" this to the community? I'm very sorry if i ruined ur day by posting this thread but i rather see this get fixed early in alpha stage rather then later in the build when it could be too late.

You'd have to try harder than that. What do you mean? I'm just sharing my knowledge of what happen to other great games were hacking became a huge problem that i played. Those game pretty much died because nothing was done. I dont want to see this happen to this great mod im having a blast playing what is so wrong about this and why are you trying so hard. The day you open your eyes when this stuff actually happens to you, you wont go so light on it and just say... meh just wait for it and u'll experience it ur way. Im just trying to help out the mods with the real problem atm that needs to be fixed ASAP.

It just matter of time guys... I died 3 times to hackers killing me with a button even tho i changed server everytime it happend... Even my friend 1 time and he almost quit the game but i talked him into staying and it will be "fixed". But im having a hard time beliving this myself that it will magically get better unless something is done. I turned on some DayZ stream and i instantly see someone with an attack chopper. Eventually you guys gonna run into this and you wont be so happy about it mark my words. Im speaking the truth here and im afraid of what will happen in future, not how current state of the game is where half the ppl barely run into hackers. I mean just take a look at the cheat report forum and you might change ur opinion. Its not like me and my friend have problem with dying to bugs/glitches and OP zombies and that because we realize this is an Alpha and we are testers that got a duty to report when stuff like this happen to improve the mod. But when you die to a hacking scripting kid that having fun it just aint the same thing and you lose the interest in the game rather quick.

Look i had this screenshot for a while and i didnt want to bring it up to worry other people mostly because i thought it was fake. But, after i saw that thread about rumors that rocket was giving up and it got locked it made me think and I felt the need to share it with the community. Thats all i have to say i dont blame anyone but the script kiddies that destroying a great mod.

I belive this is posted during the first banwave of hackers around 2-3 weeks ago if i remember correctly? I just wanted to share this with the community because i got very worried that mod could infact die because of this and as you see what rocket stated it could actually happen if it continues.

SupWithThat i think the biggest issue right now is the hackers.and I dont think BattleEye are capable of stopping them and something has to happen soon. People play around with everything from... Spawn any items/vehicle of choice Godmode Unlimited ammo Nuke big citys Kill everyone on server Teleporting etcetcetc And so on. If this continues and hackers are not dealth with this mod will die very quickly. Dont get me wrong i dont blame rocket at all because this is beyond his reach the real problem is the AC ArmA 2/DayZ is using and THAT is what needs to be changed.

It's just sad how a great mod like this can be destroyed by some boring kids that have no clue how much damage they are actually causing while having their "fun". Just very sad... I dont think BattleEye is the greatest AC either tbh if DayZ ever become standalone game maybe rocket should fix license for some stronger AC to destroy these scriptkiddies. Or update BattleEye to prevent this kind of cheating in the future.

I also seen no servers with sidechat except DE60 but i'll check out Seattle 61 for sure too bad im from EU and i get very high latency on US servers but worth it since it got sidechat on it :D

Yes it would be much simplier to just allow admins of any server to have it on or off. Instead of having that simple server option they now have to setup a VOIP program to allow some kind of teamplay on their servers. :/ I think this is very bad for the community and not very fair for the people that actually enjoyed the social bit with side chat enabled while running around the woods and had something to look at. And to meet new friends to team-up with etc. For myself I turned semi-bandit-mode after side chat were removed. Now whenever i know i cant ask on safe distance and if people I see is friendly or not I just shoot them on sight. Just because fact is it is way more risky to ask questions first on 10 m distance and most likely get shot... then shoot first and not regret it later. :p Side chat needs to come back one way or another or this wont end very well. It was a nice experiment to remove it completely like you said but it's just not gonna work out in the long run.

Most people want to see it gone because its not realistic that you can communicate with so many people from that far distances without a radio of some kind. But, I just think this is stupid I wonder if same people wanna see their character take a shit in game, and see them sleep for 5 hours every night and stuff like that. Sure this game is all about realism but, then again there is a limit on how realistic stuff have to be. I mean it is still a game after all and without a global communication tool it will hurt the community by all means.

I would love seeing side chat coming back fact is the the community really needs it to communicate and team up with others and new player need it to find out new stuff about the game and get quick help for whenever they have any questions. I remember when i still was a new player I always asked my questions in sidechat and got so much help from people. And I wish to return the favor and help other new players too now when I'm abit more experienced in the game. Also want to share a story that happend to me some days ago. I was near Stary sobor sniping from the hill into the military camp and I see two survivors that I try to make contact with by talking in direct chat with my mic from roughly 100-150 m distance which is still close but safe from getting shot. I got no respond so i typed in the chat instead while going abit closer but, still no response. I had no idea if they actually heard me or direct chat just have ridicelous short range but, it all ended with me putting 2 bullet into their heads because I didnt want to risk it by going into the tent to ask if they are friendly with the sick loot I had lol. So I really +1 sidechat to come back and i hope rocket sees this because if i had sidechat at that time i could still be on a safe distance and ask if they we're friendly. If they then said yes and i got shot afterwards that is on a complete different level because i did not risk getting shot because i was stupid enough to ask them on 10m distance but from 150. :)

Taken from dayzwiki... STATUS EFFECT: Shock - Symptoms - If the player logs out with this status, the next time they log in they will spend a long period unconscious. It is marked by a White symbol on the HUD Causes - Shock is the status effect a player will receive after being shot at by another player or damaging themselves somehow. Treatment - This status will last for 5 minutes and is incurable So basicly if you disconnect avoid death this is what happens :) You got urself to blame.

I think im not speaking only for myself when i say I really miss sidechat alot. It was hands down the best thing ever in this game. Everytime i play i keep looking for servers with it enabled but I only managed to find 1 so far. :( But I think servers with sidechat is the servers were those hackers get dragged to see all the reactions of the naughty shit they do. I'd still +1 sidechat to come back however over anything else just because how awesome it was. Game just dosent feel the same anymore and i honestly had way more fun having a global communication tool. I mean common who dosen't miss: "WHO SHOOTING IN CHERNO, FRIENDLY?" Just classic reading stuff like that while you running around in the woods :D Please people share the servers you found with sidechat enabled!!! Servers with SIDECHAT enabled: DE60

Mostly from survivors I killed' date=' NW Airfield and Barracks also found around 3 heli crash sites on this journey. [b']PROTIP: Loot every military zombie you kill for increase chance of ammo drop for ur weapon. :)

Best attempt so far 5 Days & 30 Murders Status: (DEAD) Loot: BAF AS50 - 14 mags DMR - 6 mags Revolver - 6 mags 2x guillie suits NV Googles 24slot - Coyote (Backpack) GPS Almost full toolset Food/drinks Medical supplies Vehicle(s): Helicopter - Half fuel, Fully repaired (STOLEN) Screenshot was taken 2 hours before I died. Were stalking this group of 3 survivors that I heard shooting near Novy Sobor but, ran too close & exposed myself and ended up dying but, still was my best survival/murder so far. :p Current attempt 3 Days & 10 Murders. Status: (ALIVE) Loot: L85A2 AWS NightVision + Thermal Scope - 4 mags M107 - 10 mags M1911 - 5 mags Guillie suit Camo clothing NV Googles Rangefinder 24slot - Coyote (Backpack) GPS Almost full toolset Food/drinks Antibiotics Medical supplies Vehicle(s): None The gear on this one is much better then my other character. So I will hopefully beat my previous attempt with this but, I havent found any vehicle for this one yet which sucks. I had some very lucky heli crash / barrack loot as you can see. The 2 characters I show on each screenshots is like a week inbetween eachother so it took shitloads of hours to farm all this gear. To be continued... ;)

I had similar problem with my friend so i just went to play solo til he went online or vice versa and if u die u die.. just find eachother and own it up :p

I got an idea that could fix this. Maybe not the best idea but if every server had their own database aka not saving ur char for every server you could have more then 1 character and it would fix serverjump exploiting for loot/PVP.

If this is a bug its not going to be brought up alot because majority of the players hate nighttime while it fucks over the rest that actually enjoy it... Rocket have to see this and fix it in the next patch or HOTFIX!!!!!
