This is nothing new. This problem peaked a little over a week or so ago and people started taking a break from the game because of the hackers and graphical glitch. Now I run into hackers on nearly every server no matter the population. I was one of 3 people on one server, turns out the other two were hackers. I was one of two on a server, hacker admin. It doesn't matter where you go now. So honestly, I stay on the coast where a 10 minute run can net me a decent gun and some targets to kill. The hackers can see where you are anyway but I'm not going to give them the pleasure of ruining an hour run into the heart of the land. It's only really worth playing with friends as you can talk shit while playing but no one is taking this game seriously for the moment. No one should either until we see what the standalone does or if they're on a private hive whitelisted server.

I still think it stands for Day Zebra but I still haven't found one in game. I think it's a bit of false advertising.

Just so you know... a hacker disabled my debug monitor the other day so it obviously doesn't take much of anything at all to turn it off. edit: And for those freaking out. All Rocket said was the debug monitor would be gone. He didn't say anything else and for all we know the HUD changed a bit to show kills/murders etc. Again, this community freaks out over something small without thinking.

I usually take everything I want. I then place empty tin cans in the tent. I then make sure to save it.

Too lazy to look up the names of all the towns? or OP fail troll? You decide.

Bzzzzt. Wrong. The reason is the hackers. No point in running for 30 minutes to explore only to have some douche mass kill the entire server or appear out of nowhere and hatchet you to death while you pointlessly dump mag after mag into him with no effect. Why waste that time when it's only going to end up in a pointless death? Might as well get some enjoyment out of killing other players before a hacker kills you. The survival aspect of this game has been killed by script kiddies.

" Obligatory LOL. If this game was focused purely on PvP the map wouldn't be any bigger than Cherno.

Go to Big Bend or into the Rockies on a clear night with no moon and then tell me how "stupid" the night is in this game. People need to wrap their heads around light pollution and get away from these monstrosities we call cities.

I hope they don't change that until they've taken a serious look at duping and hackers. Otherwise no one is going to consider playing nights but a small group that enjoy the terror or night. You're right on about the timing though. Weather, time, and moon phase play a big role in how well the gamma workaround works. edit: Some admins adjust the time and settings to prevent this workaround.

I wouldn't mind snipers if: a ) most sniper rifles weren't duped or spawned b ) hackers couldn't aimbot with one hit kill weapons c ) apples That's about it. I salute anyone who can get a legit kill on me with any sniper rifle. It's not an easy thing to do and takes some skill and experience. It's just impossible to tell if it was skill or some snot nosed brat with a hack or some clown that makes his run to his dupe camp to rearm after dying. At least a lot of that has slowed down now that the respawn button has been removed.

Just an idea with no actual backing but have you guys died on another server yet and then tried to rejoin whichever server was kicking you for that script restriction? I just wonder if it's related to some hacked gear or something odd. Try with a fresh life.

Are we pretending hackers are no longer able to magically teleport and instakill us like some type of inter-dimensional beings? Easy: find knife, hatchet, matches, canteen = unlimited survival. There are some really scenic places up north to live and you'll even get the occasional visitor that will never see you. With a tent, toolbox, tank traps, some barbwire, entrenchment tool, and sandbags (are the last two even in regular dayz?) you can setup a nice base in the hills that will be pretty hard to attack without ghosting through it on another server. I have several spots picked out for when underground bunkers become a reality.

Hopefully a survivors hat with DayZ embroidered on it in the same color as the hat.

I never even stop there. You can sneak by the deerstand zombies so you don't really need a gun for that either. Sometimes I run all the way up to Zelenogorsk without a gun. Won't need one there either but there are 3 or 4 barns in the area so I usually end up with at least a hatchet if I feel naked without a weapon.

After getting into the game and sorting out the controls and graphics settings, I ran in to a bossy guy that wanted to tell me what to do. I was annoyed by his nice guy tone but he seemed to know what he was talking about so I followed his orders. I did all the little petty annoying things he asked while doing my best not to shoot him in the head with a gun he gave me. Eventually he tired of toying with me and told me to go meet his friend. I walked up the road and found a Humvee! I was so surprised that I immediately crashed it into a wall. It was awesome though and suffered no damage. It was built like a bloody tank and could haul some ass over rough terrain. I got lost but I made it to his friend without blowing the thing up. His buddy then gave me a choice between three rocket launchers! Good times.

So many uninformed opinions. So little critical thinking going on. I just... zombiefacepalm.gif

Not to mention all the deerstands on that route. Kamenka is my favorite spawn, even if I choose to run down the coast.

Good thing you made the text massive and red. Otherwise we wouldn't have cared. "time to time" is funny btw.

Well, they could always make it pay to win. That would break it beyond fixing.

Sucks man but I shoot anyone in Elektro, Cherno, NWAF, or near crash sites. Those are pvp areas and you're not likely to ever meet anyone there that is actually friendly. In the wild, that's different. I also always let my new "friendlies" take point. I also ask them to lower their weapon. If they don't then I don't keep my sights off them. If they don't know how then I don't want to play with them anyway.

Bandit = shoot Neutral survivor = watch Hero = shoot because he's likely a bandit that abused the humanity system

I wish the internet had an age restriction. (*I know not all of you younger guys are like OP but a lot of you are. Sometimes it goes away with age, sometimes.)

I'll try that, thanks.

Ban them all, let Customer Service sort 'em out.

I got kicked after my BE failed to update. Haven't tried to log back in since.
