Alt F4ers are lame. Abort like a champion. Dat spelling.

Rejoin the server or a different one. It should put you back at your last known location.

Just because he's using thermal AND an as50 doesn't make it a thermal as50. You can carry two primaries as long as you know how to avoid deleting them.

I hope you didn't pick up the Mountain Dew. It definitely didn't bring good fortune to the guy you killed.

If you're using a DMR I wouldn't suspect you of hacking.

Went to pick up a teammate there and ended up crashing the helicopter into power lines. When we went to get our stuff back from the corpses a hacker found us and killed us all.

I believe the magic number is 9,000. If you're under 9,000 blood then they can knock you unconscious. I believe they also cannot break your leg if you are above 9,000 blood as well, so if you're rocking around below 9,000 blood you're at risk for being "one-shot."

You might want to try a different server then because if you know someone has the chopper it's unlikely that you'll find it.

Have someone in your team do some pilot training in the armory first so you don't crash it...lol. After like 6 hours of practicing I'm still not a perfect pilot but I do fairly well. I've crashed a DayZ chopper after 4-5 hours of practice and my team was mad :( but that's why I'm the backup pilot lol

I pm'd you offering a free ghillie suit and you didn't respond >.> Although I may have sent the PM to myself, lol.

Arma II Launcher works pretty good as well (if your computer has multiple cores and large memory, it allows you to optimize rather than restricting the capacity at which the game runs).

Guy. Played as girl until I found a ghillie suit...then I went with the penis. It was a sad day.

If it's taking more than a few minutes (2-3) and it's stuck on "Loading", it is likely that the server is not up to date with the latest beta version, or that it has not been reset in a while (and its memory cache is full). Pick a different server in the mean time. If it is yours, fix the above problems,

Because they don't punish you if they find your weapon in a database scan. They simply remove it. The punishment comes elsewhere, but only to the person that actually hacked the weapons in.

You made the mistake of logging onto a populated server. Hopefully you've learned your lesson.

It's not as risky if you know where the snipers are, and thus can avoid their vision, or make it harder for them to hit you. From personal experience, I can tell you that is is somewhat difficult to hit a zigzagging target at 700 meters, but it is not IMPOSSIBLE, so don't make your zigzagging predictable or you're probably dead. This game is all about risk/reward. You can run around Kamenka for the worst loot pool in the game, but it's unlikely that anyone will be there to kill you other than zombies....Or you can high tail it all the way to the NW airfield, have a chance at some pretty nice weapons, and probably die if you aren't careful. New players die a lot because they don't know what to look for. I haven't legitimately died in weeks (not including confirmed deaths to hackers of course). But once you die, you should be taking every single risk you can to get back in the game quickly. When you have nothing, there is no reason NOT to run into Cherno/Elektro. The only thing you have to lose is time, and if you're playing a game, especially this one, you should have some time to lose.

Well...assuming I know what I know...then the actual hacking and "creating" the item is the breach of ToS/EULA, not the actual use of said items. So yes, if ONE person hacks the "illegal material" into the game, and then duplicates it all for their friends to use, then the person that actually did said hacking should be banned, and the others should suffer no consequences. They should have their guns removed, of course, and this is exactly what happens every time a server is updated to a new beta patch (not absolutely certain about this part, but that is what happened to the last AS50 TWS that I knew of..it was turned into a Makarov). Short of periodic/perpetual database scans/server resets, there isn't much that I could see to be done about removing hacked weapons...that would quite simply be very difficult from a programming standpoint. I don't even know if it's possible to do a perpetual scan and ban the people and/or remove the items from them when the game detects them. It would be rather foolish to ban me for stumbling across hacked weapons in a camp and not knowing any better. What if I didn't know that the weapons weren't meant to be in game, and I kept on using it and BAM, I'm banned for it? That is absolutely retarded, and it won't happen. I know this game is based in Russia...but this isn't communism.

If you aren't willing to put the time into the game so that you are proficient at it, then you shouldn't have purchased the game in the first place and yes, it is your fault. I bought the game for DayZ. Arma II was the bonus.

It has no use at this time, and they are far too rare to actually use it for "radio channel" chat because you would just be talking to yourself. It would be a nice feature to make them more common and have a different channel aside from group/vehicle/(third one i don't remember).

You go to full servers and don't expect hackers? Really? If you want to avoid hackers, play on LOW POPULATION servers...cause if I was a hacker...why kill 5 people when I can kill 40-70? Albeit not foolproof, I have only been killed by hackers on a low population server ONE TIME in over a month. The other three times I experienced hackers were on servers with 20+ people.

A hacker turned my M1014 into an AS50 TWS. I carried it until it got turned into a Makarov, and I did not get banned. I simply went back to my legit AS50.

It is incredibly difficult to legitimately find a GPS, Rangefinder, NV, and a Backpack, but it is possible. Everyone these days seems to have them, so it could possibly be hacking or hacker banditry...but is more likely just duping.

Every non-hacker kill is fair, yes. Except in the last two weeks I've been killed by 4 hackers, and zero non-hackers. Of course I know how to protect my shit, and I never once actually lost everything for more than a couple hours.

The other two landings were fine, lol. and @Acix, I've used hacked guns that I got from people that I killed (and in one instance a hacker gave me a hacked gun). In the end they were just turned into Makarovs and we moved on. If we actually suffered consequences for using hacked guns without proof that we hacked them in, well that's just kinda retarded.
