Care to tell me why? Sry but I dont exactly sit here staring at the forums all day.

Well you can already tell that standalone is affecting the development of the mod, hell rocket hasn't even posted on his own forums here in over a week. He did lock a thread for an "hour" which turned out to be still locked a week later. Also, I dont now if anyone has noticed, but didnt the new patch get delayed?

Just wait. The mod is fun but it will only go so far before it dies.

Well, people buying Arma 2 just to play Dayz are not that bright. Arma 2 has a lot of other good mods and what not. Heck the regular game is fun too. Powell, Yeah, a lot of folks are still joining the Dayz hype, but I think they will be sadly disappointed. Plus how many of them are folks buying multiple keys because the either got banned or are running private hives.

Are you trying to imply that Rocket isnt going to use the Arma 3 Engine? Wow, you just got punked then since he signed a deal with BI to do the development for Dayz. What engine did you honestly think he was going to build it on? Of course its going to be the Arma 3 engine.

Good lord that semiPr0 guy is fucking dumb. I had to log in just to call his punk ass out. Of course other games have hacks. A lot do, but you are a fing retard if you compare the mild shit that goes on in other games to the hacks you have for dayz. I can't recall any games where you had hacks so bad you could be thunder domed. The naitivity on the forum is fucking astounding. Some of you all post some straight up dumb shit. Thank god school is starting up again.

I bet a bunch of them are hackers who got battle eye banned and had to buy another copy of the game.... just sayin.

Love the game btw, even with the hacks and bugs and whatever. But seriously, I just wanted to say this; MAYBE, if Rocket would make an official post on the hacking issue we could put this to rest? If he cant do anything about the hacking, why not post that it wont be something he can do anything about till standalone? If he CAN do something about the hacking what would it hurt to post saying something was being worked on? Seriously wouldnt hurt the guy to talk to the community a little more.

You said you were a game developer? For what?

Suspense, speaking of Dayz, why are you not playing anymore? Like nobody in the clan is playing anymore, its weird.

Hey man, thanks for the post, I feel bad for rocket now. When was that posted, and where?

I know its a mod, and I know he doesnt get paid for it, BUT I am pretty sure with something like this which has been exploding on the forums, I would think he could spare the time. I work 10 hours a day but I still have time to come on here and post. It takes 5 minutes. I never understood why every mod I go to people always act like the Devs dont have time to post because they are too busy. (No offense to any of the Devs)

Not exactly easy to search these forums and go through all the garbage. Rocket has an announcements and news page for a reason. Maybe he could use it. No "Dev Tracker" the show posts function on these forums is horrible. But thanks for linking the post.

OH lord, I hate posting on these forums because of how immature a lot of these folks are but... MAYBE, if Rocket would make an official post on the hacking issue we could put htis to rest? If he cant do anything about the hacking, why not post something? If he CAN do something about the hacking what woul dit hurt to post something? Seriously wouldnt hurt the guy to talk to the community a little more.

If you follow contracting or what the military is up to, BI has probably put a LOT of their focus on creating Arma3 (Which in reality will be VBS3) because the army mandated that they want a new mil-sim trainer by 2013. http://www.wired.co....my-shooter-game So I doubt we will see a lot of focus on supporting Dayz in any specific way. Yeah they made a lot of money from Dayz, and they probably should throw some support towards Rocket. But from what we know (me you, the guy down the street) BI hasnt really said much at all on the matter other then giving Rocket the OK to keep working on Dayz and ALSO Working out some kind of contract with Rocket for the Arma 3 engine and creating Dayz as a standalone product. So everyone who bought Arma 2 for Dayz wasted their money anyway because the focus never was to make Dayz run on Arma 2. It was just for Rocket to screw around testing concepts while he works out the deal to liscense the Arma 3 engine to build his standalone game. http://pc.gamespy.co.../1225522p1.html All those folks who said Rocket wasnt getting investors arent really correct either,

You still play Dayz Suspense? Havent seen you on in a while. We miss you. :D

The military uses VBS2 a lot to give briefings or after action reviews of specific events as well. Some really neat stuff has been made on VBS2 actually. This is pretty nifty actually.

This is what VBS2 (Arma 2) is made for. Wasnt really designed to be a video game, It was designed to used on a closed network where you just know nobody is going to be cheating because they are using it for training sims. Not to play "teh PvPzzz" and the "Zombieszszws!@#!OMG" I hope that makes sense. What I am trying to say is unlike commercial video games, which especially for online compeditive games, the game always assumes that the user is going to cheat and has lots of checks and measures to prevent that. VBS2 (Arma 2) was designed from the ground up to to be modable and perform so many functions, and be used as a training simulator, so its actually designed to be used with all these scripts the "hackers" are using. Thats the problem with Arma 2. It's NOT a video game, its a trainng sim in video game "skin"

People who say hacking is just as common in CoD and BF3 are so full of shit. It's WAY worse in this game.

I dont normally post much on here, but I have to put my 2 cents in here. I dont care so much about the bugs, or the alt-f4, or really bad zombie animations/warping. But what I do care about is the hackers. They are absolutely ruining this game. In one weeks time I have pretty much 9/10 times been killed by a hacker in some way. Nuking servers, leveling whole cities, teleporting you 20,000 feet inthe air and dropping you, invincibility hacks, teleporting you to some... empty zone, I mean the list is endless really, and its flippin rampant. Apparrently it is pretty much impossible to easily catch and have these hackers banned also. I know between all the BS threads here with ppl bitching about dumb crap this thread will get buried, but honestly I hope Rocket reads this. Out of all the problems this game has, hacking right now is by far the worst, and BI or Rocket needs to really step up and fix this.

http://forums.thewarz.com/showthread.php?195-Whats-wrong-with-DayZ Funny, seems like the number one issue in this thread is hackers. Maybe instead of focusing on new features or "social" experiments, we could stop the hacking? Just maybe?

They could allow admins more control. I mean player killed logs is already done in regular Arma. 16:24:27 "4335.86 seconds: Dr Aquafresh (WEST) has been killed by Goatie22 (WEST). Dr Aquafresh position: [5067.54,3007.31,0.00140381] (GRID 0506703007). Goatie22 position: [5068.31,3006.38,0.00143433] (GRID 0506803006). Distance between: 1.21024 meters. Near players (100m): ["Goatie22","Powell","RiceBoi","Chris","Kingslayer"]" It's the output from an eventhandler (EH), probably the "killed" one. An EH can be added to each unit and when something happens to that unit, you can run some code. https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/addEventHandler and https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/...andlers#Killed Why Rocket doesnt implement this i do not know....

Honestly, at this stage, whats the point. I give up guys. Why even bother playing when nothing can be done about hackers? You can do nothing. You cant run a private server. You cant ban anyone without fraps PROOF which is almost impossible since you dont have name tags. I mean when Rocket comes out and says "I can do nothing about duping, its a SOURCE ENGINE problem" for example, you can pretty much assume he cant do shit about hacking, which means Dayz as we know it is fucked. Rocket works at BI, and he cant get access to the SOURCE? REALLY? After all the crap tons of money he made them? And BI is crap too, instead of fixing things like hacks and shit they do dumb crap nobody gave a shit about like nerf pistols or Changed: MP: Dayz servers are now visible if and only if the Dayz mod is active. So the whole 5 people who play the game NOT for Dayz dont have a server list filled with Dayz Servers. Whatever though.

BI probably devotes most of their time to Arma 3 now, I am sure they dont give two shits really about Arma 2 at this point. P.S. Go Steelers!

I wish man. It's Rockets mod though, and to be honest, it seems like he doesnt want anyone touching it but him. I mean, I am sure by this point he could have found someone to re-do the god awful zombie animations, so i assume he just wants to work on it by himself/not have help?
