So being a badass, Im up over 40 murders/bandit kills on Vilayer servers on one life. Even got a few heroes. Looted myself a mountain dew. Drunk the coke to save the mountain dew. I head over towards the Lingors Airfield on the North West and spot myself a sniper and obvserver laying down camping the airfield only 10 metres apart. I take my time and slowly come up behind them. I kill the first one. Because my bandit skin reset when I joined the server I switch to the bandit skin right after killing the first guy, which delayed me from shooting the second guy and switched me to my pistol. The second guy, only being 10m away ran straight at me. I switch to primary and kill him, but he kills me too. It would have been like shooting fish in barrel if it had not been for the bandit skin switch. Even then I may have been alright if it hadn't switched me to my secondary. Was it the dew?

I don't come here much. Figured I should go check to make sure Im not missing out. Would like to know the same day when its going to be out. I assume it will be in the next month. Wheres the official news going to be?

Encrypted SS programs that are required to be run whilst playing in them. Ive had experience having to use these in leagues for other games. In them it pretty much ruled out fog of war, ESP and wall hacks. They are quite simple to make. In one game I played, company of heroes, GameReplays had cash tournaments on a regular basis that were invitational to some of the top players in the world. In order for them to play they were required to use the program which would take random screenshots during the game. In this case admins and moderators (I was a admin), we had to go through all the screenshots at the end. But you can run a program to go through them, although it may or may not pick it up depending on how good the program is. Just a thought, I know there are a number of whitelisted private hives that are using spectator programs etc. I think a SS program is alot less invasive and alot more conclusive as its actually takes images of what the player sees. With alot, but not all scripts being detected now, I imagine ESP would be a big issue and I think this program would help alot of whitelisted hives deal with the problems. Just a thought!

I guess ESP aint taken that seriously then.

True. Can you move this thread there?

One loot run of cherno or elektro and youve got all this, plus an AKM.

Wow. Needs to combat log for zombies.

Go play on a low population, or no population server. Simply run around Cherno and Elektro farming loot. Once you get a weapon and a few ammo clips go farm zombie kills. Rinse and Repeat. I did this ages ago and felt like I learnt alot from the game in doing so. I learnt how to deal with the Zombie mechanics and I know the two most populated areas, Cherno and Elektro, like the back of my hand. Farming zombies was also how I learnt to aim properly and a number of the mechanics associated with it. I know alot of people hate the whole "single player" concept, but it really helps with that early learning curve this game has that alot of people struggle with. Once you have done that go do the same in other places as it will give you a better idea of the map and give you some good experience before playing "multiplayer".

Have you read anything that has been said? Obviously not. This tool is completely inconclusive for most hacks that DayZ players use. These tools are used by admins to hack themselves and gain an advantage over other players. Everything that this tool can identify as a speculative hack can be outright detected in the logs.

There is clearly an issue. Comparing your specs to mine, you would think my PC is from the stone age. Yet I get alot higher FPS than that.

Being a bandit is the easiest playstyle. Its also the playstyle I have adopted.

Ok who necrod! Not really true. The tools an admin have are hacks in themselves. They are not there as a necessity, but to address the fact that most admins are lazy fucks. Everything that an admin can find with these tools as proof that a player is hacking can be found in the logs. The tools are also inconclusive. They can also use this information to get the player permanently banned by BattleEye by uploading those logs. But most admins won't do that. Most of the problems I have had with hacks in recent times have been from the admins themselves, who are cheating worse than hackers. If standalone wasn't keeping with the current model of server hosting that would be fine, but afaik they are and this is pretty much a nail in the coffin for the game. They got overrun by cheaters and they gave up.

Only friendlies in this game are the ones in your VOIP. That is it. You are better off assuming everyone else is going to kill you. If your a lone wolf, that means killing everyone you see. The communication range for in-game direct voice comms is 100m. If youve come across anyone who is a bandit, they have probably already killed you.

Play WarZ. There is alot less ammo and weapons in that. Its still a deathmatch. There in no reason not to kill someone and there is no benefit in keeping them alive. Humanity sees some really small nerfs to bandits (like movement speed). But they have almost no effect at all. For the serious bandits, like I was before I quit, there needs to be larger handicaps for bandits. Once you get to a certain point your profiting from banditry so much that there is no challenge whatsoever.

Not sure if I interpreted your comment. It is invasive and its able to be used as a tool to cheat. Thats the problem. In my last few weeks in DayZ, I have been playing on private servers and the biggest problems have been from cheating admins, not hackers. They can find and detect every hack that is in the game in the logs, but most of them are too lazy to do so.

Is Chernaraus in America?

Go buy a $2 CD key. If he can't afford that I suggest he works out how he is going to eat before buying a game. And maybe get a job too.

Yeah, in recent times I have had more problems from Admins abusing their powers than actual hackers.

I like it. Although quite alot of those videos are inconclusive. I hope you based the bans on more than just what we seen. Some examples: - Player was a rabbit. Ive been a chicken and a goat, but someone else did it to me. - Teleporting, other players can teleport you around the map. Sure they probably were the ones doing it, but if all you had was those videos there are alot of inconclusive ones. So I hope you guys at least checked the code after seeing these things.

Nothing solid. But the fact that he was retarded enough to be in the school in Elektro with an m4, AS50 and range finders and still get dunked by an enfield is obviously fishy.

The WarZ. I was hoping it would keep my interest until standalone for a return. Unfortunately Im already bored. Might give up on this gaming genre altogether and go play something established.

I from Australia and when I play on Public hive I join US servers, not Australian or New Zealand ones because there are more hackers in the AUS/NZ ones.

Nice video. One thing I don't think I really agree with you on is the death delay. This makes banditry alot harder. You have to make sure you have a clean kill, as I have experienced. Having a death delay makes banditry harder. Being a bandit is already too easy. Its a major reason I am not playing DayZ right now. I got bored. The worse a bandit you are the bigger the disadvantage you need. There my thoughts on it anyways. I guess the death delay isn't something I disagree with, but I came to appreciate what it did to the game. If its removed, I think there needs to be some other discouragement and/or handicap to PvP.

What to do. Lay eggs maybe? I guess the teleporting hacker didn't like my evasive/run away tactics. Was my last login for the night too. Wonder if Im going to be a chicken when I respawn. I might actually like that for a change.

Embrace the murderer lifestyle. Kill anything that moves. If it moves again shoot it some more.
