Hacked again today by an invisible hacker....fuck this game time for something new

Well up to this point, the group I play with has had many vehicles and a Heli. Up to this point, every single one has been trolled away from us by the game. They used to disappear at server restart and then appear again after the next restart. Since this last patch that is not the case anymore. Our vehicles disappear at restart and never come back now. It seems its almost pointless to waste the time it takes repairing the damn things.

Don't feel bad. Over the last few days this game has screwed us out of: 2 Offroad Pickups 1 Ural 3 ATVs 1 Van 2 Bikes 1 Motorcycle 1 Heli All of which do not return on server restart since this last patch. All of the ground vehicles disappeared on server restart except the Van. So we took the van, found a Heli and repaired it, then looked for our vehicles with it. They were no where I could see and from 200-400 altitude you can see right into woods. Then server restarted a few times that day and still they did not come back. Then next restart out Heli and Van are gone. Yet nothing out of our tents was touched. Those tents had decent loot in them too. So I doubt if someone was lucky enough to stumble upon our well hidden camp that they would take empty vehicles and not load them up with super good loot. expecially when our tents had extra jerrys. I know the game is in alpha but it still pisses me off. If someone stole them, whatever its part of the game. People wonder why there are so many hackers out there right now. I'm starting to understand why. Spending 3 hours looking for parts for a vehicle that disappears on restart and never comes back is stupid. This is the second time its happened and we found the Ural once already in some random spot on the map with the same amount of fuel and all the gear we left in it. So I know no one stole it that time.

Well remember there is no hatchet in Arma2. Its modeled after a gun, which is why it takes the reload. Your right though, the inventory system is a little tough to deal with when your trying to switch or pick something up while a zombie is chasing you. Though this being a mod, you have to take the bad with the good. As it stands, Arma2 would have to change that. IF this game ever becomes stand alone, then perhaps it could be different. I do think however that as a mod, his choice in Arma2 was a fairly good one. There are glitches and there are some things that don't make a lot of sence, but this is still Alpha. Best we can do right now is give him time to do what he can.

This is a survival game, why do people keep thinking it should be easy ? If anything, this game isn't hard enough. Zombies might as well not even be there most of the time. This game needs way more zombies in places like Cherno and Elektro. Also, you shouldn't be able to run away from them. Not to mention Hatchets are so easy to find its crazy. So you not having a weapon is hard to believe. You shouldn't be spawning with a gun, thats why they took it out. I'm glad to see that all weapons you find along the coast have been nerfed. Now you actually have to aim for the head if you want to conserve ammo. I agree with the person who said the game is too easy. Places that have good loot should be hard as shit to get to. Helo crashes, barracks, big cities with med supplies. Those places should be so infested with zombies that the only way in and out is to shoot your way in and out. yet people keep going on and on about how it should be easier ? Give me a break. Its so easy to ditch zombies in this game and so easy to gear up its almost stupid. as for your food problem, once you get matches and a hatchet (both easy to find) go shoot an animal in the woods and cook the meat. Problem solved.

whoever came upon your corpse must have been a happy dude... Also, if all hackers were like this it would still be hacking and hacking defeats the purpose of playing the game. Good on you for trying to keep things legit.

I just want to point out that to my knowledge, Rocket Launchers are single shot only. They also replace your pack. That said, you can't have more than one launcher which means you can only shoot ONE rocket. You can't reload it. Once used, its worthless. I have been playing this game for a while and NEVER found a rocket launcher. Nor have I ever seen anyone with one. So the chances of someone finding one of them is very very slim. Having two guys each with a rocket launcher is damn near impossible, and having one guy with two is impossible. So i'd vote hacker.....since those guys heard two rockets in that video apparently.... edited mostly for spelling :P

Here is my latest experience http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/43627-reporting-2-hackers/

Don't feel bad bro, me and mine lost a ton of shit today because two guys teleported or something into the midst of our group, shot us, blew up our vehicles with sachtel charges or something and then suidiced themselves with more gear than god. Then immediately disconnected from the server. http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/43627-reporting-2-hackers/ There is the topic if anyone wants the names of them.

Thats what server logs are for Seeming they were alive in the server and all the sudden were popping up in the midst of our group....pretty sure thats going to register on the logs

Noah Kelly iTry Both were on server 574 geared out with gillie suits, full tool belts, .50cal snipers, NVGs, Rangefinders, and regular patrol packs. They detonated satchel charges and blew up all of our shit, vehicles, ext. after both spawning on top of us on a hill while already being in game logged in. Also, they suicided themselves with all that shit. All the gear they died with was not able to be picked up at all. Someone please ban they cock suckers.

Why would you even want to turn off PvP in this game ? At this stage in the game, Zombies are nothing more than a minor inconvenience. Once you get a gun, they aren't even that. Expecially when you learn the tricks to getting them to deaggro. What would the point of the game be then ? Run around pretty much invincible shooting AI that has no chance ? WOW !! Thats fun..... I'm not saying that in the future it would be a bad idea. Its just a bad idea right now. This game has a long way to go before PvP off servers would be worth playing on. Here is why: Go to a PvP off server and gear up with all the best shit and then log onto a PvP on server and kill people like crazy because they have jack shit and your group of 5 guys has .50 cals and M240/249s because you just farm spawns all days because lets face it....Zombies might as well not even be there. About the only time I see Zombies kill someone is when they're unconcious because they get shot by another player. Players should not be able to outrun zombies. Zombies should not die unless you shoot them in the head. Major cities like Cherno, Elektro, Soln, and Berez....not to mention the air fields, should have far larger amounts of zombies. You should not be able to go through the major cities easily just because your sneaking. Those cities should have so many zombies that the only way to get in and out is to shoot your way in and out. OH !! and vehicle spawns and helo crashes should have MASSIVE amounts of zombies at them. All zombies in an area should aggro when ANY gun is fired. Those things happen, I'd play none PvP servers on occasion. btw this would also keep people from camping Cherno and Elektro as easily as they do.

Here is the main point. Your all morons. This is a SURVIVAL game. Too bad if you can't get geared out with the best shit before you get killed. Oh and too bad that people camp the spawn areas. Here is an idea. GET OFF THE COAST. Just because you spawn on the coast doesn't make it a "noob area". Expecially when Cherno and Elektro are two of three major cities that have medical supplies. Also, they both have high yeild buildings and decent weapon spawns. Obviously people are going to be camping it. Thats also why people come back to it after going north. They get sick of running around the woods for hours seeing no one. If you want a zombie game with no pvp, then your playing the wrong one. So stop your crying and man up. I've been killed many times trying to get gear in Cherno or Elektro. Its part of the game. Too damn bad if you don't like it. As for server hopping...yeah its annoying bud I know how you feel. I'm sure a lot of people do. Same with people who log out at the first sign of gunfire. What can be done though ? I'm not really sure there is going to be an easy fix for that. If there is a fix at all. At least one that won't screw over legit players as well...
