gambles

I'd love to help out by either supplying some extra things I have or by overwatching if needed. Great idea by the way keep it up! :)

By zeus's beard man stop posting your half of the posts in your own thread!!

Seeing as how you can pretty much just throw money in the fire by buying a mac why not just get a pc to play Arma II? Sorry that was kinda mean, the apple hate came out!

AS50 TWS is everywhere because of hackers, it doesn't mean he hacked it in. Infact I think the TWS use to be in the game in what? 1.5.x? Using hacked weapons you find doesn't make you a script kiddie, I know if I found it i'd probably use it. (I found a soldier clothing in the back of a UAZ i am currently wearing, most likely hacked in, but I aint no hacka yo)

Well that explains why im at 12501, I AM GOOD GUY GAMBLES! FEAR MY CUDDLY WRATH!!!! <33333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333

I knew battlenet was behind this madness.

Unplayable? I played for 4 hours straight last night and only ran into one hacker Unplayable? I played for 4 hours straight last night and only ran into one hacker Unplayable? I played for 4 hours straight last night and only ran into one hacker I realise the point you were trying to make but this just makes the game seems silly. As it should. Playing for 4 hours and only running into 1 hacker would among any decent game out there be ridiculous. I understand it is alpha but they are saying there is next to no way of fixing this and the OP has a perfectly valid point. The devaluation of all gear in game is a HUGE hit to this game as gear gathering is one of teh core mechanics of a survival game such as this.

Arma II is very clunky thats true, which is suprising. I'm not saying complicated is bad, you can get use to complicated and quickly adjust in situations. I'm saying it's clunky, because it is. And in a sim that's complicated AND clunky. Well doesn't that kind of defeat teh purpose as you will never beable to actually "sim" so to speak. When menial tasks such as opening doors or organizing a small amount of inventory become huge jobs, the game isn't working as a sim it's working as a pain in the ass. Real life isn't this buggy. 2 cents right there har har! <3

Is it just me or does kn0x make a lot of pointless threads and posts. O.o

I enjoyed this post. He is correct if a little nutty.

Look for clan of survivors > find clan of survivors > just say they are survivors and actually shoot EVERYTHING > dupe items > horde stuff in one corner of the map > freak out at eachother when items/vehicles disapear. There are no Bandits/Murderers/Survivors lmao. I have learned this, there are just clans / groups of people who shoot other people and collect valuable pixels as they try there best NOT to actually play DayZ.,

You guys might not know this, but I consider myself a bit of a loner. I tend to think of myself as a one-man wolf pack. But when my sister brought Doug home, I knew he was one of my own. And my wolf pack... it grew by one. So there... there were two of us in the wolf pack... I was alone first in the pack, and then Doug joined in later. And six months ago, when Doug introduced me to you guys, I thought, "Wait a second, could it be?" And now I know for sure, I just added two more guys to my wolf pack. Four of us wolves, running around the desert together, in Las Vegas, looking for strippers and cocaine. So tonight, I make a toast! Edit: Steam name is Gambles (from Moncton NB Canada) I'd be up for playing once and a while, was a lone wolf pack myself in the beginning.

And with this a whole new era of murdering bandits happen upon Chernarus. We shall call them "High Pitch Killers" as there squeaky voices echo across the wasteland, controllers in had, they have migrated from CoD. There once beloved console game now overshadowed by DayZ the massive Deathmatch Map!

Blame the shoot on sight aspect of the game. Only those willing to really stick out there neck and try to communicate are going to be the ones roaming possibly looking for some interaction with other people. As for the rest? Well a lot are just trying to avoid other people all together, then there are the bandits / murderers who don't like to be in the 500 meter range of anyone they kill with there duped AS50 as they don't want the actual risk of killing someone who could kill them back. Actually your lucky you seen the firefight you did, the heli is still one of those things not many have and will fight tooth and nail even close combat, to get to.

This has happend to be through walls, another annoying one is going up stairs then they hit you through the floor breaking your legs and sometimes making you pass out and bleed. Can't even see where its coming from as they are doing the twirly whirly on the stairs below the floor lol.

So I joined up with a decent guy over skype off the forums. After an attempted ambush on us by two bandits, we both came out alive with 2 bandit kills and there gear. So we are slowly making our way up to stary through the forest, I notice we come across a cabin with dead zombies. I crouch down and let the other guy know there is someone nearby, all of the sudden he starts yelling he's behind us. I turn around to see a survivor with the hero skin, I lower my weapon and ask on DC mic "Friendly?" he replies yes. What a relief, not many people get the jump on you and are friendly to boot, guy came outa no where. So I end up getting a good look at the hero skin I'm striving for and drop a ghillie as I had an extra one on me, to which he replies "No thanks I like hero skin" (typing by the way). Alrighty so we talk for a moment then he starts looking at the ground and bending in a weird fashion. I start on my way as I say goodbye he just casualy spawns a helicopter right infront of us and flys off into the sunset. I lean back and cant help but laugh at this silly situation. "Atleast he didn't kill us" is all I could think of at the time, then I said we should probably jump off this server incase he has a mood swing and decides he likes the bandit skin better. But I guess as far as hackers go, and how frequent they are, this has been a good night. Picture relevant. As it pretty much describes DayZ at the moment lol.

Easy Sailor!! Of course I don't believe that they are coming up with some elaborate code to cripple DayZ and rule with and iron fist, while at the same time hacking into the pentagon. I call them hackers because that's just what a lot of people call em. And into the mind of a script kiddie would make me sound like im interviewing a pedofile or something. But I genuinely believe that it has to be something more then "I was bored so I got scripts". I mean, I'm sure there might be some deep reasons out there, never know.

I think you may take this game too seriously. I'm not a bandit or a murderer, atm I have 1 bandit kill. I hate shooting noobs and will avoid it if I have to and usually only shoot when absolutely needed. However when I'm playing with my friend we mess around with eachother constantly, oh look a downed chopper, I shoot him in the leg with my cco SD as I run up and loot it. We find an ATV and he's like lets go for a ride!, I jump on back and he crashes up into a tree and laughs as we burn. We play seriously when we are playing seriously, but come on. We are best friend in real life and nothing that we do to eachother on this game is going to ever change that. You just gotta know when to take a deep breath and realise what comes first. Friendship > Dayz Friendship in Dayz = Having some fun once and a while.

I would sincerely like to interview a hacker over skype. Record it with fraps, make it completely anonymous. Not provide any details or report them. I just want to know what drives some people to hack in a game where the whole entertainment value is based on survival. I would call it "Into the mind of a ***er" and I'd like to do multiple segments and upload them to youtube. I'd even change there voice to that deep scary shit so they remain anonymous like those gang documentary shows. Yes...yes I will do that. I know there is a hacker out there right now reading this, go to my profile and look at my skype name, add me. Let's get this into the mind of a hacker on the go.

I see what they did thar.

IN game name: Gambles Steam Name: Gambles Age: 23 Time Zone: Atlantic (Canada) Mic: Turtle Beach P11 How long have you been playing: Month and a half Your preferred role and/or weapon: None, different loadouts depending on if dealing with zombies or players and how big of a group we have etc... Humanity: around 1500 atm I think? I do not like shooting noobs just to let ya know..

I'm up, add justin.dawson9 on skype.

I just threw up a little reading this thread.

The sad part is Rocket wanted to enforce servers to have a minimum max pop of what? 40? because the game with the huge map is best played with many others on it aswell. Then you have people advising on forums to stay off high pop servers because of hackers. I have played many a game, many in alpha even more in beta. And countless mods. Hackers are always a pain, but the way this game is and how much you lose and how hard you work.... Not only does there apear to be a huge amount of hackers but the impact they have on the game is almost to the point of making it hard for me to recommend the game to others.
