I think the Day z creators are the people hacking
sostronk replied to Mcyborg's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I lol'd Maybe nerf the Cherno/Elektro loot and buff the other spawns a bit? -
This is bullshit, I was spawned out in the "Wilderness" aka the middle of the ocean
sostronk replied to Mcyborg's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I recently spawned in Stary. Pretty funny, snipers everywhere and Im gtfo of here. Survived and made it back to safer places. Glad not all snipers can aim. -
Tried to meet up with 6 clan mates last night who were all on a fresh spawn due to nuke hacker. Went and got a vehicle so I could pick them up. They all decided to hit Cherno quickly first (despite me having everything they need). They all die. Rinse and Repeat. I did not see them once that night. It all depends on the server etc. Think of it like this. People tell you not to smoke because it causes cancer and various other things that can kill you. But you often see really old people who smoked their whole life and had no problem. Dont go into Cherno = Dont smoke. You might not have a problem, you probably will. If you spawn just hit the loot piles and get out.

We probably shouldn't be playing this game. The state it is in at the moment is really destroying the reputable momentum it was building.

so, hacking is here to stay apparently
sostronk replied to Lowbei's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Define whatsoever. League of Legends is pretty much hack free. There have been a few cases of hacks and exploits, but they usually get shut down with a few days. I came over from LoL and confident in saying the thousands of games Ive played, I have not once encountered a hacker or exploiter. This game however, I experience them every day. One server I was on (I won't name which one), it was getting mass nuked every afternoon at around the same time. If your unlucky you could end up in one of those servers. I figured out what this player was doing. Nuking everyone and then camping Cherno with his AS50. -
What Has Changed The Dayz Player Mentality
sostronk replied to TheBeanAholic's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I meet friendly people every day... in teamspeak. Then we go play the game. No need to run the risk of being killed asking players if they are friendly or not. Chances are it will benefit them significantly to kill you so they usually will. The mechanic of asking if people are friendly is flawed, you ask them and they get first dibs on engagment. Fairly stupid. -
It's a shame there are all these hackers because
sostronk replied to preparationh's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I have some doubts players hack so they can see posts about it in forums. -
How many of you would stop killing players if there were achievements?
sostronk replied to hazedaze's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Achievements would be great. I'm at the end game content now and its pretty thin. Killing other players seems the logical thing to do. -
ANZ servers are full of hackers. No surprise. I made the decision to not play on ANZ servers at all a while back, despite them being the closest servers to my region. Also, some how I get better load times from US servers than I do from AU/NZ servers.

Why I like to play on private hive server
sostronk replied to le_fieber's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
And you can ban players for hacking rather then having to rely on the hopeless BattleEye. I actually think this game would be better with private servers. -
Don't head North first. Head west to around longitude 005. Once you get there head North. Clans horde vehicles and more supplies than you will be able to carry or drive off with around this longitude. There are plenty of deer stands you can divert to and hit up on the way. Once you get to latitude 022 head East again. Be sure to hit the North hills above Petrokova, this area is a gold mine. Before you hit the NE airfield, you will be well and truly fully kitted. You probably won't run into anyone the entire time whilst you get kitted up... just be careful when looting. Clans don't like to kill players around their base unless they are sure you know its there because they don't want to draw attention around that area.

For real. I must have humvee QQ

Lack of players heading up North Nowadays?
sostronk replied to shinii's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
True, but Im playing with and experiencing a number of players who basically have it in their head that Cherno is the place to go and stay for the good loot. A number of these players haven't been more than one town North of the coast because its too hard to survive (food/water) and they have to wait too long to get the excitement. Alot of the new players who came over recently don't want to be involved in the "survival" part of the game, they just want to get in and play deathmatch style. -
How can I escape death from a hacker?
sostronk replied to [email protected]'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
If altf4 can't save you, there probably isn't anything. If you have your own private server, you can ban them. If you run in a team with a camp (or ten) you won't lose alot. Honestly, Im in the habit of duping stuff because most of my deaths are thanks to hackers now. I don't see why I should have to start again for their entertainment. If I die, back to base to rekit myself back out. -
Listing Private hive and password protected server if they are against the rules? I would presume if they were "illegal" that the Rocket launcer software wouldn't actually list them. I ask for a few reasons, but particularly because Im considering getting a private hive myself. Hacking in Hive connected servers is out of control and I would like the option to ban hackers rather than endure them for the thunderdome lols because BattleEye is useless.
-
Looks like your right. Did some research and I can't find his name in the "team" list.
-
Yeah calling it rocket launcher was me being lazy, but you sure its not made by Rocket? The launcer is a big picture of a Rocket, I assumed this was indicating it was from Rocket. Impression im getting is their not really focussing on the mod at this stage but looking towards the "stand alone". But this doesn't really answer my question. Why would software developed to identify servers be identifying servers that are apparently against the rules?

Stop calling yourself a bandit
sostronk replied to omgwtfbbq (DayZ)'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Call yourself COD scrub owners. -
Running two different accounts of dayz?
sostronk replied to [email protected]'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
This guy seems to have an easy way to do it. -
Still possible to place Camps outside the Map?
sostronk replied to Growbian's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Be careful if your placing them outside. I was blown up tonight putting one outside the map. It is unlikely to be a hacker because I was like 1k outside in clear area with vision in all directions. I run straight out, place it and then seconds later I blow up. I ran back out after respawn and getting some basic gear and my body and gear was still there, so wasn't too much of a loss, but be careful. -
My reasons for taking a break from DayZ, potentially leaving.
sostronk replied to survivor_40's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Why do people get upset whenever anyone says anything negative about the game... What the OP is saying are legitimite problems. They have existed for a long time. Nothing has been done about them. Doesn't look like anything will. It might be Alpha but as I understand it, part of a game being in the alpha stage of development is that the game is actually being developed. Not much is being developed. -
Yeah blood transfusions are overrated. I keep some on me but I never personally need them cos Im packing the cooked meat.
-
Someone says this in every single game I play. I guess that means im the constant and therefore im the problem. Sorry guys, I ruined the game.
-
Take a look at League of Legends. It is pretty much a clean game. On a very rare occasion a hacker will find an exploit, but Im pretty sure in the thousands of hours I have playedt he game I have not been in the same game as a hacker. Now I know tonight for sure I will have a problem with a hacker.
-
Rocket - shut down the alpha test if you ever expect to get ppls money
sostronk replied to TheMachine's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I actually completely agree with the OP here and thought the same thing prior to reading this thread. Even if it would suck not to be able to play the game for a while.
