But its an alpha hue hue

Secret hackers? There are people in these forums that have openly admitted they are hacking. The moderators don't care.

Survival mode in this game is so rediculously easy. I hope Rocket figures out so that we can actually stop playing this easy mode so im gonna pvp continually game.

Dem bandits are getting mad.

Umad?

Only met one person who hasn't frantically tried to kill me as soon as theyv'e seen me. Hero skin is a hinderance as its more visible than other "skins".

Crossbow? I used it once. Never again.

Its come to my attention that a number of hackers in the game are currently stat whores and stat padding. I see some of the with 2k+ tallys. Some of these are players who Ive identified in nameplate enabled servers. IMO remove the the score tally or at least remove the player kills from them. I think it would help a fair bit with the hacking situation by not giving them access to this.

You must be pro at this game.

Had a go at it tonight after I killed teleported to the middle of nowhere from a hacker. Turns out I didn't need to hit any major town as I found Morphine in the first Deer stand I come across (which was fairly lucky since its like a .02% chance of getting it. I spawned in Cherno and left straight away. Ive pretty much got all the necessity items I need. 2 water bottles, 4 soda cans, 6 cans of pasta/baked beans, Enfield and about 5mags, matches, hatchet etc. The only major item Im missing now is probably a hunting knife. Once I get this Im pretty much set and only need to worry about players. My impressions, barns are way too generous. They give you mid range weapons and all the food and water you need. Barns and "pubs" were the most beneficial places. TBH I think I could probably survive purely of looting barns though and leaving every other building. The enfield is great for dealing with Zombies (one hit). Ill probably have to hit up deer stands a bit though as they are the only place I know that spawns them outside of major cities, although I think pubs might as well. Ive run across copious animals so far and they seem to be programmed to walk right in front of you. Id love a skill method for tracking them down. As it is I run through a field and any cow, goat or sheep decides to get up close and personal for a hello. Kind of frustrating seeing those cows without a hunting knife but Im probably don't even need them, just I prefer hunting for the 800 blood cooked meat gives you compared to the 200 for canned food. The two water bottles I have are enough for me to do a few loot runs before I have to return to a watering hole. Food and water are way too easy to come by. Ive passed up so many cans of soda and pasta/baked beans because I don't have the storage space (Ive still only got a basic coyote pack). Mid ranged weapons are too easy too come by, as is the ammunition for them. Im only packing an enfield and a 1911 pistol and Ive passed up so much ammo due to being out of storage and come across about 5 enfields and about the same in 1866 or double barrelled shotguns.

I presume it will be available via the score screen in-game as well.

There are good and bad things about bandits that both ruin and make the game. GOOD: The Zombies and survival components in this game a rediculously easy. Without bandits I would never die. Although 90% of my deaths are from hackers. If it wasn't for the hackers the bandits probably wouldn't be hated so much IMO. BAD: Bandits restrict what you can do. I want to be helpful to players, be creative and explore different scenarios. What Im faced with though is a KOS or be killed situation. Rocket is talking about how this game is open to various roles or how you can do anything or whatever, but with the current KOS that has been perpetuated by bandits, there is nothing you can do but PVP or learn to enjoy dieing every time you see someone. Overall I think bandits have a bad name, partly thanks to the cheaters in this game. The unlimited ammo and AS50s for all scenario is game breaking. Bandits need to be balanced but you can't do that with the BS hacks in this mod.

A few things Im in the habit of doing: - Play on private hives - Play on the same servers regularly, add them as favorites and take notes (via Commander Launcher) if you see a hacker in there - Check the score tally as soon as you enter a server, I regularly come across hackers who have score tallys in excess of 1500. You can get 400+ tally reasonably easy, so I leave if I see anything out of the ordinary like this. I like servers with low tallys where most people have only around 100, they just seem so clean from hackers. - Watch to see if a player dies more than once within less than 40 seconds. Some hackers are script killing themselves if they don't get a good spawn ^^ - Random shock - Ive noticed on occasions I randomly get shock for no reason. Its more often than not followed by a teleport of some description. You can get shock randomly in game but I think most cases it seems to be a hacker. - Play on night time servers. Hasn't always worked for me but Ive noticed slightly less hackers at night. - Look for frequent killing "death notifications". I find more often then not when it gets pretty insane its usually a hacker going around (so watch the tally again). Sometimes its Cherno deathmatch, but sometimes its pretty obvious. - Look for kicks for scripting (script restriction). This is actually a good thing if you see it. It means the server admin has enabled kicking players for scripting. ALOT of servers don't currently use this. TBH checking the score tally before a game seems to be the biggest indicator for me. Alot of hackers are stat whores.

Turns out the people who were banned have a "fake hack" that is in fact a CD key stealer, as stated on the BattleEye site: "Update: False alarm. This is simply caused by a fake hack that is in fact a cd-key stealer. It also overwrites the user's actual cd-key with a banned one resulting in this very ban ID. This news post will be removed shortly as there is no point in mentioning such things. After all it's the cheaters' fault for getting themselves banned like this"

Cool, I read it, enjoy going around finding a sniper around Electro or Cherno who has the exact weapon you want.

I would say time for a divorce, but you know how it goes. You get the crashed tractor and she gets the house and car.

OFC its suss. Especially when he is talking like he can get any weapon he wants and is asking for a recommendation. But what can you do, some kids like easy mode in an already easy game. But nobody really cares, there are so many hackers in DayZ nobody is phased when they talk openly about it.

Depends on your team comp and if your constantly running with them. If your always playing with them I personally think your better off without a second Primary Weapon, as long as someone in the assualt team can do their job.

I don't shoot anyone on sight. Ive been playing for over a month and Ive only met one person who hasn't tried to kill me as soon as they see me, despite the fact that I act in no way aggressive to them. I think the game could be alot more enjoyable if it wasn't an instant KOS so I don't do it. People wonder why "combat disconnects" happen so much. Its because they didn't want to fight in the first place.

The community is pretty bad. I think it will improve over time as most of the people who seem to be the worst also seem to be getting bored with the game as well.

Ill lol if I find out legit bans.

Stat whores gonna hate.

I just want to express my <3 to all the bandits out there.

You will be penalised by it reducing your enjoyment in game. Ive come across hacked gear regularly. I found if I take it, it ruins the realism in this game for me.

I used to do that all the time. Its definately a slower start. But I was still surviving for a long time. Probably the biggest issues I have with it are getting a map (which id probably have to get from a deer stand). Food and water would be fine. Medical loot would be scary because no morphine which makes climbing any ladder a nightmare. But bandages and painkillers are still in abundance. Weapons pretty much have no effect, apart from maybe that early bit of picking up a mid level weapon from firehouse. But there are plenty of decent mid level weapons at barns before you hit the deer stands. Ill try it again, but I imagine it will be really easy. I struggled with it, but that was because I only recently started playing and was learning the game. Then let you know how I go :)
