I see them pretty regularly in the small industrial buildings. Although Im sure if I was specifically looking for one they wouldn't spawn, ever.

You using DayZ commander? It makes these patches alot more smooth.

Its actually a rule for me at the moment that I don't loot bodies at all since there is a high chance I will be taking hacked or duped gear. Partly did it for the challenge to "test" the loot tables. Yep them loot tables need some major nerfs, shit is too easy to come by, even without hacks or duping.

Do you use steam? Id talk to them if so. BattleEye recently banned a bunch of people who weren't hacking because of a CD key stealer. Apparently it was related to steam.

AS50, L85A2, AN-FAL PVS, and Bizon SD are the rarest weapons. No coincidence they are chopper crash site weapons. Apparently the m136 isn't as rare. Ive never picked up range finders before. They only spawn at the 2 barracks at NWAF and have a 0.11% chance of spawning there. Satchel charges and NVGs have the same percentage chance stats, however, I have picked up NVGs off military zombies at helicopter crash sites and deer stands as well.

Don't know about that. The AS50 feels like its shooting a bullet the size of an apartment building to me. Even when its not zeroed right.

I like iron sighted single shot bolt action rifles, you can't deny skill there. There is a bit of disparity between some of the high end sniper rifles and every other weapon in the game. Id rather see the likes of the AS50/M107 removed or to fill in that gap between these with other weapons that aren't so weak. Honestly though, the AS50 is game breakingly OP right now.

Private hives seem to be safer. But you have to find one with an active Admin who actually does admin it. Ive found a clan server that Ive played on a number of times the last few days and Im yet to see anything suspicious whatsoever. I think once Rocket officially drops this mod and opens it up to private hives we might see a reduction in hackers for a few reasons.

Whats the go? Seems like every bandit I run into is terrible at PvP. Last night Im teleported to debug plains and stripped of my bag, torch and gear. I alt + F4 and reconnect so I can spawn on the coast. I start at Balota. I go straight for the tower, pick up a backpack off a dead guy on the way and an akm and some bandages out of the tower. I head into the first hanger. I see a guy in the distance coming, a bandit. Im like whatever hes got a M4. He starts shooting at me and missing from about 100metres out, so I tell him Im friendly and not to bother, im not going to fight him. Since his aim is so bad he gets in closer and Zombies galore have been aggoroed and hes completely ignoring them, taking hits from them while failing to shoot me. He runs up close and I offer to blood bag him and bandage him if he didnt have any. He finally hits me twice so I run behind the storage containers and then out to try and run away. Im alt looking towards him and notice he gets knocked out by a Zombie and about 6 of them lean over and start eating him. I get around the side of the hanger, bandage myself and head off whilst he dies. It seems like every experience I have with bandits are like this. They make retarded mistakes and are just desperate to get kills whilst putting themselves in positions where I could have killed them multiple times already. If I wanted to kill him he would have been dead long before he made it to the hanger, yet he cant kill me from 4 metres away. It seems like in this game its the bad players that want to pursue PvP the most. I am often watching bandits and the way they make retarded mistakes trying to get up close and the amount of times I could have killed them already, yet they still seem to think they are good at this game. Are bandits mostly scrubs or is it just a case that all of the bandits Ive run into are scrubs?

Go youtube ARMA2 hacks 2010 or 2011 or 2009. Youtube is full of arma 2 hacks that came out well before DayZ and they are the exact same ones. Im actually surprised at how many there are.

An ATV. First time I spent a whole night playing the game and one of the most fun times Ive had playing the game. Me a 2 friends started with 1 ATV and by the end of the night we had 3 (which was our goal, well we aimed to have 2 but the third one ended up happening). Towards the end of the night I rolled mine and couldn't get it back up. Then we rolled another one and couldnt get it back up. Back to 1 after a night of fun.

A scrub is a bandit that cant get no kill from me

He had a bandit skin on.

Admins could easily deal with the hackers. Its not that hard to find hackers with the tools BI have handed out to server owners. Problem is Admins don't really seem to care. Most of them aren't even enabling kicks for script injection.

I fight back by not fighting at all. Kids are always going to lack creativity and just PvP. Nothing you can do.

1911 or G17. I like to survive and need the space for survival items, food, water and medical supplies.

It was only a matter of time. They can't help themselves. Theres an "apocalypse day" now. Will it be a nationally recognized public holiday or only dependent on state?

I can't really agree with that. The websites that are providing hacks for DayZ are the same ones that were providing it for ARMA2. From what Ive read on those sites, there were plenty of "skiptkiddies" in ARMA 2 well before DayZ was born.

I dont mind the hackers. For a while they annoyed me. Then it dawned on me. This game is really easy to play and all that is left to PvP. This game isn't a survival MMO or anything, its just another PvP FPS like every other game out there. Getting killed by a hacker is just a way to start again and experience the very small amount of content this game has at present.

Do you have the script auto kicking feature that BI added on there?

A soft drink it aint

I don't really care about hacking. I can't see how players would enjoy this game the way its designed. I did think they would have gotten bored of it now tbh. But whatever, some people want an easy mode in an already easy game. To each their own. Just play the game and enjoy the experience it offers. And tbh Im often killed by hackers and completely fine with it because I get bored of this game after a while as their are no challenges to do once you get to a certain point in a life.

What caused the nose dive? I don't know if I believe these stats. Seriously so many people die to Zombies, how the fuck do you die to a zombie. I can understand 1-3 deaths from them when you first start playing, but for real how do you die to them after that...

How can you possibly claim there isn't enough loot in small towns. Im on a life right now where I have only hit small towns for loot. Ive seriously passed up enough food and beverage to feed a small army. Loot of all types in this game are way too common and thats without going into major towns.

Actually the survival components are retardedly easy. Its more like a Call of Duty Simulator.
