I guess the obvious question regarding this is: How would you respond to hacking claims? It's pretty obvious hackers have been flourishing as of late, scripting their way to pretty much any level of server-wide massacres. The comminuty for servers is a pretty good idea, and if you can manage to deter hackers from them, then you'll most definitely be on the top of the list of servers to consider.

If everyone managed to hop on a bicycle off the spawn, that would create an imbalance to the current state - which requires a lot more caution to navigate. We don't know the story behind what caused the apocolypse, so perhaps the amount of vehicles you are able to find is justified. It definitely does provide a sense of joy when you do finally find one.. ... or excitement when you spot one with other survivors packing it up with gear from their little raid of a near by city/town, and you crouch in a tree/bush to observe their movements, hoping they'll go for another run and you can steal their vehicle. Over populating high-speed mobility will most definitely just turn it arcadey.

First time I got a sniper rifle! Also didn't end well moments later.

Gotcha! Respect to you, then, sir. If only it were the case for most....

Right. But even if your intentions have nothing to do with grouping up with friends, you are still exploiting the respawn ability to simply get a better vantage point for your travels to your tent. It honestly does not take that long to get anywhere. I understand some people have time limitations, because they are not able to invest hours per day for travel time... but oh wait.. that's part of the mod. By the time you have respawned 2-5 times to get that close spawn, you could be across the train tracks on a hill, well on your way to your little camp site with all the essentials ;) I am interested to see how this change plays out.

Fully agree. Spawn where you spawn, and go from there. I fail to see the corrolation between the 'Respawn' button being available and the 'ability' to play with your friends.... besides the obvious carebearness of wanting to spawn as close as possible after maaannnyyyy respawns.

Looks like you are joining a server that's during night time. If it were a graphical problem, the stars wouldn't be out.. Unless you are referring to something else graphics-related in that linked pic?

That would defeat their purpose. They're a threat, and you have to avoid them or lose them. It's already easy enough to run through some bushes and dash onto the ground to crawl away, or book it through a barn or something. Not to mention they are zombies - they want to kill you. Pretty sure they won't get bored running after you as long as you are in their sights. They are stupid enough to slow down when they lose a line of sight.

Should put this in Cheat Reporting category.

Yup

Try some of the .cfg changes to reduce pre-renders etc, drop your resolution, turn off post-processing, reduce HDR, and pretty much drop everything else in the 'Advanced' section of the 'Video settings'? Else do a forum search for laggy play?

If only this game was a released product. Then action can be taken towards these hackers streaming stuff. Twitch.TV/Justin.TV respects copyright infringement and such (http://www.twitch.tv/user/dmca), so I mean, it'd be up to the owners to report it, etc. I know nothing about legalities. Just a frustrated fellow gamer here.

Just saw this. Hope this gets dealt with, and that hacking community gets shut down. Unbelievable.

Be more cautious when you click stuff? I have never run into that problem, sorry man. In addition, the "Respawn" button is looking to be disabled (temporarily for now, who knows what the results of monitoring the new DayZ version will yield).

I don't get new spawn kills either. It's pretty lame. This is part of the game. Hostility is something you'll face in DayZ, better get equipped for defense. I understand you're having starting out problems, so once you get that sorted out, defense might be your #1 priority. Try a new server?

:facepalm:

Looks more like a hacker based on all the subsequent kills imo

If you just started, I'd suggest you just run into zeds and wait to die.

I seriously hope this gets dealt with.

I haven't experienced this problem before, but if the folder doesn't exist where it is supposed to, then the installation didn't work properly. If you installed it and there still is nothing, then perhaps you should manually create the necessary folders and download the 2 .dll's from the BattlEye website? Just a suggestion, no validity to this.

This. +1

I understand your point, and not disagreeing with the fact that it can become a frustrating endeavor to hike for minutes on end to meet up with someone. However, it's DayZ. Zombie apocolypse. It's not an arcade game you jump in, and start going at it. You start with the bare minimum, with a random spawn point from the potential spawn areas. Personally, I enjoy the challenge of survival, challenge of meeting up with someone and facing not only zombies but a plethora of other potential dangers during the travels. Perhaps Regular could present a selection, Veteran not? Just my opinion.
