Seesie yous mines plumsies?

I had to come up with a username so I just picked one. I sketched up this thing in Photoshop because I needed an avatar.

BE isn't bad, the game is just too easy to script. The thing that will really be combating hackers is the changes to the engine, not the anti-cheat.

1.) I usually pick the female skin out of habit and then kick myself when I find a ghillie suit. 2.) I've played with my sister, but I haven't met any people I can confirm were female. 3.) I also play with my clan amtes from time to time and they don't treat me any differently than anyone else in the clan. The worst thing is being mistaken as a little boy over voice chat. Really, I've gotten more grief when people assumed a was a little boy than people who knew I was a female. 4.) I wanted to play because it looked fun. I play a lot of other games, my main online ones being TF2 and L4D2. My sisters and I have been into games for a long time, ever since my oldest sister was playing games on MS-DOS

I would wait for standalone if you're not planning to play Arma 2. In that case, it wouldn't be worth dealing with the hackers to play the game.

Two things I'm kind of curious about. There seemed to be quite a few issues with people getting kicked off by BattlEye with Script Restriction messages. Was this an issue mostly with the last update and are they completely/mostly fixed by the newest patch? Second, while I was playing, I saw someone get kicked for BattlEye script restriction #62. I've seen a lot of people on the forum get kicked for #90 and #140, but I haven't seen much about #62. What triggers that on BattlEye? Sorry if this is the wrong place. Thanks.

Went up to Green Mountain a few days ago with my sister. It was kinda freaky how many zombies spawn there at a time, but the view from the radio tower is pretty nice. It would be cool to be able to go inside those buildings, though.

Do you happen to have a Ghille suit on? There's been a gltich recently where people spawn on the shore with nothing but their Ghille. I've heard that relogging might fix it.

I've played the boot camp missions for the heli and VTOL jet multiple times, I don't really find anything else in it all that exciting.

Browsing the forums is getting me a little worried. BE surfs on a mass ban wave and yet there seem to be even more threads yelling "Hackers!" than there were before. I'm starting to see things like common glitches (spawning on the beach for no reason/ respawning after dying with gear/ glitching and ending up with only Ghille) being pointed out as hacks. Car is gone? Hackers. Tent is empty? Hackers. Got in a firefight and died? Hackers. No good loot? Hackers. What worries me is that these posts are starting to sound like the chat in APB: Reloaded, where every loss of a mission results in slews of hackusations. Now the forums are nowhere near that bad, but they feel a tiny bit closer than before. And it worries me because this is exactly what happened to APB. It started out with a lot of hackers but has been pretty damn clean for a while, yet people accuse everyone else of hacking. Asking your honest opinion, does this seem to be the case or am I reading this all wrong?

That's what I'm saying. The hacking problem has been well taken care of in APB yet it still has that reputation. And yes, sometimes the districts have a quiet chat with a few friendly people, but I have been in quite a few districts where hackusations and name-calling fills the chat constantly. I've been accused of hacking at least 3 times, which is funny because I'm just barely a decent player. It only takes one team having a bad time to get the arguments started and it creates this spiral of negativity that just keeps feeding itself.

I'm not worried about hackers because I know they exist and understand that no major steps can be taken agaisnt it until standalone. I'm worried about people having odd experiences and blaming it on hackers. Yes, it's possible, but it's also possible that shit happens. It's possible that someone did stumble across that well-hid tent or your car and made off with the stuff you worked hard for. The whole reason I came up with this rant is because posts were starting to remind me of APB, and that's probably clouding my judgement quite a lot. I'm just scared that one of the funnest games I've played in a long time will be ruined by hackusations even after the hacking problem is (hopefully) resolved.

I think playing APB has scarred me, but I would rather think I'm insane when it comes to the internet than see this community slide into the depths of hackusation hell. I wasn't even thinking about the dogs. Can't wait for that.

People spawning with gear is a somewhat common glitch right now, not a hack.

My favorite was something along the lines of "I accidentally deleted the registry value with my key in it."

I still prefer they don't hack. Getting a box of everything you need takes the fun out of the game, and though we all hate being killed by bandits, they're what keep the game exciting. I do like hackers that just fuck with people, not really helping or hurting them, like the one that had the bloody skin and sang before hitting people. The game needs more variety, not people getting instant gear. Where's the fun in that?

Sorry if this is a repost. My internet went out while submitting and I wasn't sure if it went through. Date/Time: September 9th, about 9:30PM EST. Dusk on the server. What happened: While walking south toward Zelenogorsk, everything suddenly got very bright. The sky was the same, but everything else, foliage, zeds, animals, buildings, and players were lit up and appeared brighter than they do in daylight. This seemed to be most intense near the barn, and as I walked further toward the gas station in Zelenogorsk, the brightness dimmed and then when back to normal. While in the bright area, I tried relogging and changing my video settings to cause a flush, but nothing changed. The same thing happened when I walked back toward the barn. I was playing with my sister and she said everything was normal on her end. It's possible I lit a road flare in the doorway of that barn a very long time ago, but I can't be sure. I mention this because I found it odd that the brightness seemed the most intense near the barn and dimmed and died out completely by the time I reached the edge of the gas station nearby. Where you were: Near the barn just north of Zelenogorsk What you were doing: Looting with my sister on our way to Green Mountain. *Current installed version: 1.2.7.6 *Your system specs: Operating System: Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit (6.1, Build 7601) Service Pack 1 Processor: Intel® Core i5 CPU 750 @ 2.67GHz (4 CPUs), ~2.8GHz Memory: 8192MB RAM Available OS Memory: 8188MB RAM DirectX Version: DirectX 11 Card name: AMD Radeon HD 6700 Series Display Memory: 752 MB Dedicated Memory: 1010 MB Shared Memory: 3837 MB

The fun of the game is working up from the bottom. That way, every time you die, you have something to make you want to play again. If you just give yourself stuff, it's no fun, and you'll get bored pretty fast.

I did the same exact thing. I was running along the road and was pretty bummed when it suddenly ended. Ran to the top of a hill, turned around and noticed that the plains were devoid of detail compared to the lush forest in the distance, ran into the forest and died.

Have you tried a flush since the patch? I had it pretty bad yesterday in Stary, changed around video settings to do that flush thing and it helped a lot, much more than it did when I played a month or so ago. Spawned in this morning after patching and haven't had an issue since.

Wait, I'm confused. What are we being warned about?

As many have suggested in the past, try to stick to low-pop servers. Veteran servers usually have fewer players than regular servers (and are more fun to play on) and no hacker wastes their time on a handful of players. Look for servers that have under 10 people when you join. I've been using this strategy and I've yet to encounter a hacker.

I was betrayed on my second or third life after traveling for almost an hour with one dude. Find it hard to trust anyone with a gun now.

Just found my first Ghillie suit... and couldn't wear it due to being female. Yep, I've been raking in the loot.

It's an alpha, so there are a lot of bugs to work out, many features to be added, certain features being taken in and out, and a lot of hackers due to the engine being built to be used with scripts. If you get the game just for DayZ, know that you're coming in as a tester and not a player. Though it is playable (and a lot of fun) you have to be ready for shit to hit the fan at any moment. You may want to wait for a standalone version.
