Is Anything Being Done About Hackers?
sostronk replied to Spitfir3's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
There is a new way of scipt detection that BI has integrated. If you are a server admin you SHOULD know about it. -
lol. Recently I was playing with two other guys. One of them sees this guy on a hill and he goes up to see him. The guy spawns him a helicopter and about 100 Jerry cans of fuel. The guy says "there you go" and then spawns an SUV and drives into Cherno where my other mate was. My mate comes out calling friendly thinking he would leave him alone as he was a helpful hacker. The guy gets out of his vehicle and unloads a clip into him. Unlimited power sure does make you a little bit unpredictable.

DayZ is not about surviving Z's or even other players
sostronk replied to [email protected]'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
If you read hack websites, you will know that there are hackers who have made hacks to stop getting killed by other hackers. Then other hackers have made more hacks that will kill hackers with godmode etc. Its pretty sad, in every other game Ive played you have legit players and hackers. In this game you have legit players, hackers, counter hackers and hackers that kill other hackers. There is a new script detection out as well that people don't really know about yet. Im expecting some widespread bans in the next few days. Its up to server admins to do it though. -
hacking + war z connection conspiracy
sostronk replied to deltron3o3o's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Nope. Its the same hack websites hacking DayZ that hack every other game and most of these will hack WarZ as well. It won't be as bad as DayZ because ARMA etc. -
Yes PvP makes the game more interesting. The reason the PvE blows is because its just not there. Its not that PvE would blow in this game, its just that at present theres a few zombies defending loot and thats as far as PvE goes right now.

Any tips for finding vehicle spawns or helicopter crash sites?
sostronk replied to ZePlague's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I have found 2 side by side quite a few times. Never 3. -
There is a huge lack of PvE in this game. I hope Rocket realises this or the game will go down hill quick.

Remove the Murder/Bandit Kill count
sostronk replied to Jackftw's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
As much as I dislike your attitude Buffjesus, there is a point to what your saying. The PvE components in this game are terribly easy. Add on top of that the scripts, hacking and duping thats going on and there is no end game beyond PvP. If Rocket doesn't pump out a shit tonne of PvE content at some point this game will be 100% PvP, which is a real shame as it will be in complete retrospect to the vision I believe Rocket has. PvP should be a part of the game but it should be more situational, like a failed trade or what not. Just running around sniping people in Cherno and Elektro with hacked weapons and duped ammo is really a sad part of the game. And to put it out there, this wouldn't be happening if it wasn't for hacking and duping problems, there just isn't enough ammo to do this for very long, escpecially considering most of these campers don't even loot their kills. -
They won't play COD. Too much anti cheat for them there. Especially if your playing in a competitive league. Seen players get banned for pre scoping corners too many times. Admins go over this stuff with a fine tooth comb. Red boxes are obvious. Here you don't get banned unless your retarded.

How do hackers have THIS MUCH control
sostronk replied to gareth_sims's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Yeah Ive honestly never seen a game so overrun by hackers with the tools they have. I dont really care, but yeah. -
How much would YOU pay for DayZ standalone and Why?
sostronk replied to sparta436's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Id happily pay $100 up front, $30 a month and still regularly pump money into DLC. Most players in this game are cheapskates who are stuck in the old profit models for video games though. The way I see it, the more money I put into a game the more justification there is to develop it, fix bugs, add content etc. -
how do you end game? what is end game for you?
sostronk replied to =ANz= Zentile's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
There isn't really anything adequate in the game that I would consider "end game". There is not enough content and not enough achievements. When you get so far you end up making up random goals for yourself. Mine is to find the most efficient looting paths and to kill as many zombies in the process. -
I noticed the spreadsheet I use regularly: https://docs.google....9fV1lYOFE#gid=0 Doesn't list Stanag Mags. Only Stanag SD Mags. Up until the recent patch it listed Stanag Mags. Now weapons that were listed as Stanag Mags only have Stanag SD. I haven't come across any since the patch either. Have these been removed from the game? This would be a pretty big change if so.
-
Were standard Stanag mags removed?
sostronk replied to sostronk's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
That wasn't the case prior to the patch. You couldn't use standard Stanag on an M4A1 CCO SD. If what your saying is true, then they have changed it so M4A1 CCO SD can now use Standard Stanag mags. I hope so. -

Were standard Stanag mags removed?
sostronk replied to sostronk's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
The list previously contained Stanag or Stanag SD. It notes that changes were made in accordance with latest patch. I usually pick them up quite frequently from deer stands and crash sites. Ive probably hit about 8 heli crash sites and around 50 deer stands since the patch and haven't picked up one, which is unusual as I would usually pick up quite a few from that many loots. I guess I must be unlucky as they are the one thing Im after atm :P -

And you guys on latest patch? -
Your DayZ development priorities?
sostronk replied to frantix (DayZ)'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
From the developers point of view I would like a big amount of extra content to come first. There isn't alot in this game at the moment and it gets old quick. Id rather see this before the bugs/patches as adding stuff tends to break old fixes. -

So many hackers, the mind boggles - any legit players left?
sostronk replied to TheMachine's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
No need to get mad. Just pointing out that it looks like not all hack sites are up to date with the latest updates so you can avoid them by playing the most up to date version. -
Theres no way the players camping Cherno/Elektro are not duping or hacking ammo in. Its such a waste of good ammo that takes a long time to get. EDIT: Except maybe some clans. But even then. Most Cherno/Electro campers I see are running solo.
-
If your playing this game legit, Im finding its quite difficult to keep ammo for it. Once/if dupers and hackers are under control I really think the AS50 is going to be a throw away weapon. I have one right now, an AS50 TWS, but considering getting rid of it because I rarely ever get ammo for it and it takes up quite a bit of storage space in the pack. To top it off my standard primary is a M4A1 CCO SD, which is also hard to get ammo for. I prefer the M4 because you can clear crash sites etc really easy to get in for loot. AS50 is probably the bandits choice of weapon I guess. Its risky carrying it in some ways, at least it will be if hackers and duping get sorted.
-
Im still holding my AS50 TWS despite it most likely being a hacked item. Not gonna give it up unless I run out of ammo and can't find any for a long time. M4A1CCOSD + AS50 = not a good primary combo to have, two weapons with rare ammo :/

(PvP) What's your combat preference?
sostronk replied to Taggert1313's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I like fighting Zombies. They are the only ones that can't teleport to you with god mode on. -
If it appears they have godmode on, run. If they start to head for you, they are probably about to teleport to you, alt+f4 or alternatively open up the ingame menu and abandon. Two most useful skills in DayZ right now.
