I took a screen shot of the cheat, but apparently PRINT SCREEN took a full black screen shot. So sorry no physical proof. Eitherway. Was talking in side chat in Seattle 67 complaining about how people DC when i shoot at them all the time, and then discussion went to how hackers also suck. Somehow Robbie, the owner of the server, gets on and talks about how he snipes people from 600 meters with an MK17. I ask him where he gets that since that is not suppose to be in. Short story short. Robbie admitted on the server side chat to all that he as the server admin for some reason gets the right because he pays $35 a month for the server (i've hosted BF servers and paid more... i still don't cheat) to give himself guns that are not part of the game. Also tried to justify that since people love his server his cheating is alright and he "deserves" a gun..... Especially a high end accurate marksman rifle like the MK17 (arguably better than DMR, AS50, and M107 if it is a silenced TWS, or sniper, or NVG version like they have available in the real arma) I would really love something to be done about this. Cheating is wrong, and cheating from a SERVER ADMIN is even worse... especially when there are many people from my understanding lining up to want to host Dayz servers. I know you have other things on your plate, just doing my duty and making sure that these things are brought to attention. Cheaters really are the downfall of many games out there and it is up to us as a community to have no tolerance for cheaters. Either way, sorry no proof, it is just my word against his... but maybe you can do some of your smart tech stuff and check his server files and see if he spawned them. Thanks Rocket so far for having a no tolerance attitude for cheaters, and oh btw, great game! I broke 300 Hours of Arma 2 tonight XD (i think 50 were on Taji life, but for sure 250 on Dayz)

was on skalisky island for teh funs and saw huge base on us85 on that island. i made it there and got shot just now. they got every gun under the sun in one tent. saw an L85 (is this hacked? never seen before) and like some big machine guns and snipers and stuff. they also got a helo. which was damage or else i would have tried to fly away with it.

what do you think me and my pal are doing now =)

i dont really care. the deathmatch is brough to THEM. i just like to see the survivors die slowly. =) seeing as we bandits, we should make sure this game remains deathmatch and all survivor gear taken!!!!!

gl, they got like 5+ guys, that ran at me near the tents there.

just curious... were you wanting the Z's to be the enemy instead of players? You know, the things that just run circles around you. things that are mindless and can't outthink or outplay you? The static shit AI that you can funnel into doorways (even in other games where they run in buildings) yea. sure thing. im WAY excited to those hundreds of hours of gameplay with the totally unpredictable zeds.

Will you fix the rampant hacking? (ie. i can't play a server more than an hour without some obvious sign. and that's during an 8 hour play session 3 days in a row.)

So me and a few guys took out this ToG clan on US 949. Just wondering if we succeeded at being stealthy or if you guys got a bead on us. We have been practicing approaches and tactics. Did we do well? How many survived? Also... NO hiding from our guy with the therm XD EDIT: guys asked me to ask you guys (hopefully you check forums after that helluvan ambush) see this that maybe you will want to have another friendly fight again? One of our guys hid all your bodies =( sorry about that. but this next one can be friendly.

your an idiot, i rarely get Pked, even when i get killed by hackers and have to regear. you just aren't smart on how you play.. dayz will die if HACKERS are not fixed... kid you not 20 different servers in last few days, couldn't play more than an hour before seeing some sign of hacking, spawned guns, cars, jets, helos, invis people killing me, getting teleported, seeing fucking speedrunners... ect ect.

how do you know its not UK kids hating US kids? eitherway... its fucking annoying. just got killed on a US server again. I have not been able to stay in ANY server for more than an hour without seeing some sign of hacking (hacked in vehicles, guns, people using both of those, nukes, server wide kill scripts, or my new favorite... teleported to a roof for execution. Sadly there is no talking to hackers. They suck at the game and don't care about being good at this game or any. It is all entertainment. Let them hack though, they will never learn to play a game correctly by hacking and as such will always suck at games. If they say it's just a game and they don't care, then good, we can play without them. Rocket... fuck your current plate of shit to do. Fix hackers.

maybe im an idiot for not reading this whole thread. but i believe that NPC (not only guards, but ais) would ad an awesome OOmph to this game. IF you have ever played any other Arma 2 mods, for example some of the cops and robbers or mods where there are civs running around ect ect. it is really fun. I would enjoy having (in less numbers because of the apocalypse) random NPCs in the world. also the ability to create towns and have NPCs flock to it like in terraria would be cool. I am heavy PVP hardcore, killeveryone on sight bandit non friendly and i support this idea/message.

doesn't matter. there is NO way to stop teamspeak. hell even if you DID find a way to disable teamspeak while arma2 is running for Dayz purposes... people would just get a laptop or some old second computer load teamspeak on that and use that as their teamspeak computer. there is absolutely no way around teamspeak, regardless of my opinion and yours teamspeak cannot be removed. just saying. FOr you roleplayers who needs to have it super super SUPER real (i myself love real, but i see the reality that this is a game) then just imagine that clans using teamspeak are people who were in the military or a PMC before the apocalypse and they have radios.

lol? so you want a game that has no hostiles at all? or are you saying you want a game that has hostiles but only the very specific amount of hostiles to provide you with what you call an ideal game experience kind of like a hollywood story where the hero/heroine always has close brushes with death but magically is able to escape and make lots of friends and run off into candyland?

Honestly it comes down to this for many Dayz players. (i know most of our clan feels this way) Gunplay Dayz is built on years of the Arma 2 engine, whereas WarZ is not. The balistics in Arma2 allow for fun gunfights and realistic simulation. Those that enjoy war sim have inherently enjoyed DayZ in it's form as a Zombie Sim. Those who may care less for the realism and want a "balanced" gameplay may enjoy the MMO/Arcade environment of WarZ. I am not judging WarZ at the moment because I do not know about it. I am merely saying that if shooting at other players = they drop fast and die then one crowd will be drawn. If they get shot and take a while to die (HP style system?) then another crowd will be drawn. I do enjoy that they have 2 modes. Normal and Hardcore. This allows casual gamers (which i personally don't have a taste for, but hey i have casual gamer friends so meh) to enjoy their fill while hardcore gamers can enjoy theirs. Casual = Death not lose skills (lose stuff I think) Hardcore = Everything you know dies in with your corpse in death I personally don't have a bias over any right now due to name, only due to gameplay. And I bid both good luck and hope they compete so that one may pull ahead and earn it's place as one of my favorite games. Also, Rocket, can you fix hackers? This is my #1 gripe atm. Just last night we approach Balota Seal team 6 style on a PBX with 4 ghillis and mil gear. We then see lots of people dying in the chat and go to lobby instantly. We then get told that a hacker is teleporting everyone on server one at a time to a field to be executed. We join another server only to find that there is a black suv driving around Balota (hacked in), we switch servers before anything else bad happens.... and on the new server we approach balota slow only to hear AS50 from far away. we start looking for the guy then 10 sec later we hear AS50 close range from a totally different direction. A guy had shot my friend from 20m. I turn and drop 20 rounds of Mk48 into the guy. No game glitch, no desync, the guy stands up unphased and starts looking around for where my bullets are coming from..... if he has been where he was the whole time, HE SHOULD HAVE KNOWN where i was. Our approach was so that anything close would have spotted us easily, but we'd obviously spot them and with our heavy gear we'd win any fights. Eitherway the only explanation is teleportation and invincibility hack. Luckily I DCed before i died, but my friends were not as lucky. Note the guy took dozens of heavy caliber rounds from many different weapons and still walked around like he was being tickled.

I shoot on sight more than anything not because I don't trust people... but because they DC. I cannot tell you HOW frustrating it is to get the sneak on someone within the 40m direct distance and the minute you talk they alt F4. Honestly our group never plans to kill anyone if they listen. All we want is ammo and beans, we got all the guns... and I mean really to risk our lives getting that close when we could have killed you from far away... Now we just shoot on sight though. We snipe noobs. (we used to "kidnap" newbies and if they were willing to listen we'd show them how to play and arm them with an a cyote and helo gun and send them on their way.. not anymore). So for anyone who has been one of the many HUNDRED slain randomly for no reason on select servers by our group in the last week. Know you bring this upon yourself. And really... what is the mentality of a DCer? have you no soul? no heart for the thrill of the fight? You realize all the best gear in the game can be acquired without hacks (and really hackers? really?) in an hour. And if you have a group of people and spend a decent few hours flipping/helohunting on a newly restarted server you can honestly have backups for when you die. Stop being pussies and fight like men. And honestly, it's the people who are most geared and supposedly "veterans" who have the least balls. The noobs always fight back. I almost debated letting a noob hatchet me down once just for his courage. Woulda made his day... but alas he kinda sucked and would have lost it instantly anyways.

hahahaha funny right? ranting was never meant to make sense. I probably shoulda typed "why doesn't everyone eat shit and die while making my happiness their #1 priority" =) kudos for catching that.

WOAHHHHHH haha sleeping after provacative post is bad idea hahah. Um, yea the Therm has been back in for a while...140 playing dayz you say? are they all bean coast, you should have known =/. So if your guy is still scouring the logs...... he's gota earn his keep somehow right? Also those guys who battle-logged were not us. so thanks for their ban. we hate battleloggers as much as you do and again thanks for not battlelogging yourselves. Eitherway was a decent ambush. (again the therms are back... maybe if you had one you would have spotted our setup in the trees) And by getting all of you, I meant all of you playing at the time. You can't even have 140 people in a server duh >.<. Question for YOU. Do you always call people hackers when you get killed? and INB4 (i hate this term): Yes I am trying to create a scene on forums. Hopefully it get's people riled up who want to challenge us. It's harmless fun (except you losing your shit.)

- error -

don't need your loot... just your pain... =) hell if you actually listen to me maybe i'd give you loot and it would turn the other way? talking about internet tough guys, why do people always try and be the "Man" when an internet gun is pointed at their internet character. your not proving anything... hell i'm not proving anything either. But in a game where survival is your main priority, in a situation where you get jumped why NOT listen and play along. JW.

No but it does provoke reponses and possible challenges... which is what i'm going for ;)... and it's not the keyboard and mouse skills that make a player good... im not really the best aim or reaction person... it's the ability to disect a situation in a short time and react properly and execute accurately... a skill which helps in the workplace, everyday life, and also.. in games =)

haha would be fun to see you try. some guy on reddit actually paid real cash to have a hit squad hit us... and they failed... in fact only times we get taken down are by hackers XD. im up for the challenge though. pm me if so. Don't want to release public information or the hackers findz us.

not sure but max murders was 72 with 2 bandit kills. Actually woulda been 90ish but i had a half day that somehow got reverted back... eitherway kudos to the guy who got me. His name was like Trugon or trufgon... bleh. Never let your guard down ever and ALWAYS check 1st floor level apartments when clearing apartments. >.< Btw is the record 87 murders in one life still? that is what i heard the Legit non hacker record was. Might be different now.

Honestly this guy should be shown no remorse. I can't tell you the countless times i've been killed by hacking. We even had our clan stash destroyed before our eyes. had a full covered truck pickup and all of us max geared and this invincible guy shooting sniper rounds outa an m4 teleports into us blows up our PBX ARMY TRUCK and pickup. Hell 9/10 of my deaths in this game have been to hackers! >.<

200km apart??? who is the fishy person here? don't you mean more like 10-15 ish or whatever .. let me do math real fast. slightly under 15km would be max distance... actually more if you do diagnol? w/e eitherway 200km is the sq bro =)
