Not with this patch but the last one, 1.7.2.5 I wound up on the coast with not even a backpack. Besides making sure you have a clean install of the mod, doesn't look like there's much you can do.

Zis is nacht relevaunt to Day Zed General Discushun. Iamf afraid- Oh fuck it, I can't do the inflections. Hackers suck. Zee end. Closed.

Yes. Don't express anything but joy and happiness while you're here.

No exchanging real life currency for services or items in game. Use in game items as your currency. Closed.

It...is free?

Moved to Private Hive Discussion EDIT: I see Max moved this to Off Topic when we clearly have a Private Hive section. Maybe I'm off my nut but contact me Max if you have a problem with this.

Your evidence is still shaky and therefore inconclusive. Reminder: personal attacks will be dealt with appropriately. Closed.

Just got killed by a hacker. It sucks and it's demoralizing but until the standalone is here I'm not going to bother gearing up completely and then lose it all to some punk kid. Live fast and hard; end game loot is just a practice of hoarding stuff out of paranoia now. Might as well live while you can and don't have much to lose.

Multiple threads removed. Watch it. On topic: AKM. Powerful, zero-able, decent sights, and common ammunition.

Ha! Me and my little band all got killed by a hacker/scripter who would soak up our bullets like a sponge. (A lot of bullets) Respawned at Elecktro and took a bandit skin out with a double barrel but got killed by another with a weapon I didn't recognize. Pretty sad but eh, guess I'll be avoiding that server.

You would have to show me a precedent of a forum banning based on age that was in response to the game being age restricted and not based on previously established forum policies. In the end though it doesn't really matter since while minors buying software outside their age is prohibited by ESRB (being self-policed), it is not actionable if a minor plays the game that a parent or someone over 18 bought for them. In the same way the MPAA won't leverage fines for minors merely watching R rated movies in their homes, it doesn't seem very prudent to ban minors when the ESRB themselves only restricts the sale of such software. Not its consumption. Consumption of such media is left up to the parent or guardians of the minor as the sale of the game to them is seen as a implicit contract that the parental figure has acknowledged the mature content of the media and deems its acceptable to their child. It just puts the responsibility on the parent, which is something that needs to be championed more.

Sorry? Sorry who?

If a sniper headshots another player but no one saw them, did the sniper actually exist? Hrmmmm...

We can't enforce an age limit unfortunately (I don't even know if the COPA/COPPA under-13 restriction is in place) but it wouldn't really matter if we did. I've seen 20s and 30 year old behave just as juvenile and willfully petty on these forums so it's not limited to one age range. Though it might be skewed towards the younger generation...

Sounds like a good clan, unfortunate name though.

Hackers don't hack because they are being limited in gameplay. They hack because they want to fundamentally be at a complete advantage to everyone else in the game, one you could never aspire to because they alone have the power, you do not. It's a fundamentally different psychology to game playing. Hackers in online games don't care about fair play or being limited in the same way as everyone else. You give everyone the option to be a god (which is already a stupid idea for this game anyway) and you don't satisfy the hacker's ego to be superior to everyone else. They still crave their zero effort win condition so they'll find another way to hack. You're only attacking the symptom, not the disease. The disease is that some people can't handle to play an online game on its terms and feel the need to stack it in their favor to the detriment of everyone else. Like I said this is a psychological issue, not a game design one. It's rooted in the basics flaws of humanity with regards to fairness and respect for others.

Got nothing on my end.

You will not be banned for using it Union. However, if you can find a replacement, you may feel led to dump it in a field or somewhere to remove it from circulation. That would be the honorable thing to do.

Fresh start sounds fair. But give me a warning so I can go seek my death in Cherno in a blaze of glory and bullets.

Obviously not you. So either place a bid or don't post. That goes for everyone.

Looks like you found hacked gear. Under the rules set up by rocket it is permissible to use hacked weapons that you find as long as you do not script them in yourself. However, you're clearly trying to antagonize the survivor group and showing your superiority, with hacked gear no less. Poor form. Kind of tacky. Definitely closed.

Er...great?

Great video. Even picked up some pointers with the bikes in Zelen. (Didn't think they would always spawn, regardless of player presence.)

I've tweaked the title a bit so people don't get the wrong impression about why you did this poll. To the rest of you, stop overreacting. Read.
