I tried playing on your server. Before i connected into the lobby i got banned for hacking apperently. I went on the team speak channel and was told the admins couldnt help me for a few days until the logs where checked and verified. While i can understand the process could very well by complicated for checking the logs I'm still amazed how the server wouldnt show that I hadnt even loaded into the game yet.....Frustrating to say the least.

And your a fucking moron, thanks for coming out. I dont recall ever once saying anything along the lines of "scripting is broken please fix". Im saying as a result of, the mod is no longer enjoyable. The fact that it cant be fixed has nothing to do with the point that I was making, which is the game is no longer enjoyable. Thanks for reading, maybe the internet should require a basic reading comprehension test. [user warned. -Max]

Sarcasm aside, you would be fully correct if this was some little dip shit mod operation. However Dayz has taken off full tilt, it gets LOADS of media coverage from video game sites, and the fact that the mod is now becoming stand alone does demand a higher level of competance. And theres something in it for Rocket. If they develop a stand alone and only charge 10 dollars they will make a killing off the hype alone. Dont sit there and tell me over a million of Dayz players were also Arma 2 Players before this mod launched. I bought Arma 2 just for Dayz, as did just about everyone else. Once it was decided that there was a profit to be made in launching a stand alone version of the mod then they should of upped the proffesionalism of the project as a whole. Hell if i was about to make 500 000 dollars in under a years worth of work I think i would be upping the anti a bit more. I mean simple shit like FUCKING SERVER SIDE SCREEN tearing......and vehicles/tents not saving.....And bandit skins deleting backpacks and shit. And these are all things that were not broken a month ago that are now for some reason not working.. This is not acceptable standards for a team whos moving from production on an alpha mod to a fucking stand alone platform. Its all grand and dandy that their devoting their time to launching the full game but letting the mod go to complete shit in the process is not going to help encourage gamers to beta test the stand alone when theyve come to expect no communication from the mod team on their current project I mean hell Minecraft alpha was far from perfect but its funny how Notch is always keeping his fans in the loop and addressed issues at a resonable pace

Alpha or no alpha. Mod or full game. Doesnt really matter when the point of a video game is to be fun. Dayz was different and enjoyable. Now you cant play on a server of 15+ people for more then 10 minutes without being fucked with by a hacker or someone else. And people will rise to the thread to defend the mod but in its current state its unenjoyable. Spend 2 hours switching servers to find one that doesnt screen tear half the map, and then just when you start to get into the groove and you meet up with your freinds and start to arm yourselves Johny the fucking naked hacker comes up and shits all over your Dayz (pun intended). I mean when stuff started to go awry you could just dodge it most of the time by going somewhere else. Now people are teleporting behind me anywhere I go. In the last week I havent played for more then an hour without getting screwed with. Unplayable = No fun.

lawls. I enjoyed reading the thread. 2 major defenses of having the zombies from those gathered in here. 1. Go play Arma2. Well.....No thanks. Because Arma 2 does not reflect what dayz without zombies would be. The most obvious reason being permadeath not applying in Arma. Further more I enjoy scavenging for gear while being on the watch for players. Frankly i wont even waste ammo on zombies anymore because of how bugged they are. Now i just run through a town and kite them through a building and save myself tons of trouble. Plus frankly BF3 > Arma 2. Not playing a computer game for a true military simulation....Also i should point out that there is currently no games that would be like Dayz without the zombies. Hell if fallout 3 had a multiplayer aspect then that would be along the lines of a game id like to play. 2. Second "cause" is stating that the zombies are needed to complete the game. I would ask how? lol. In Left 4 Dead you have an objective and the zombies are the challenge/enemy. In Dayz you can forever avoid zombies. Zombie kills reward nothing. There is no objective. There is no completion. So how can a game mechanic be required if it adds nothing to the game in terms of progression or completion. When was the last time any of you ran around a server and ranked up 500+ zombie kills just for the hell of doing it. Dayz is a "zombie" game where your not required to kill zombies. But all logic aside half of you didnt even read the poll. I never said the zombies shouldnt be in the game. I was asking if youd play if they were left out. I also stated that personally i could do without.

Personally I could do without them. Would remove some of the frustration from the buggy issues they have. These days the only use a zombie has for me is to let me know if a player is in the area. I would definitly play a game like dayz without the npc factor.

lol. just cant stand seeing goofs on community forums posting in every single thread with their negative bullshit all the time :)

I find it halarious how people are like "I wish when i met someone they wouldnt kill me right away because i wanted to work togather with them to kill endless respawning, bugged out zombies who aggro from 1500 meteres away while proned in grass". So let me get this straight. You meet a random dude. You both agree not to shoot each other. Now what? You fucking hold hands and run through virtual KM's of open wilderness with the fucking hopes and dreams that youll actually stay in sight of each other, or that you wont desync and suddenly be out of LOS and forever lost from each other. And from there how do you meet up again? Hell i play with 2 of my IRL freinds that LIVE in the same house as me and sometimes one of us wanders off and crashes and we have to regroup, and that can be a bloody nightmare at times. The concept of teaming up with another player for more then a 5 minute adventure is not practical by any sense. IF you want co-op play play with people you actually know....otherwise shoot anything with a gun before it shoots you.

I wish your father would of went out to the barn and fucked a pig instead of having sex with your mother the night you were conceived, would save me and the rest of this forum from having to read the pointless bullshit that you post into every thread. kthx.

i snipe from there pretty often on 25-30 person servers without issue. lol. i only find with 30+ people that i run into people coming at me tho this was a while ago i used the hill lots. Best time was me and my freinds sniping some dude out, then the guy respawned and crawled up to us and started talking over direct chat and my freind shit his pants because we were both scoped in. lulz tho the last while ive been letting fresh spawns go. Somewhat lost the fun in killing people who just started their journey, more amusing to kill established players lol

lol well i was in the bushes with my freind using his range finder to give me the distance. And when i took the shot the dude dropped. then I was scouting for another target and hes like "car dude car!" and im looking at the road for this car. then i hear engine reving and honking and just in time manage to unscope and see a big black SUV run me over. Looked like an escalade actually.....granted i didnt get that long to look..... on a serious note the rate of hacks is becoming a bit unreal. lol 3 weeks and i got fucked with once. in the last week me and my freind get fucked with every server...lol

So i sniped someone out.....and they apperently spawned a car on top of me in the name of revenge..... just thought id share...

i played PVE style for about 2 weeks. Finally got the hang of the game right before everything went mass pvp. Had a good stocked group of 3 and we mowed down zombies in town after town. Got up to about 300 kills each and then we stopped and asked....What the fuck are we doing now? There is no PVE end game in Dayz. Theres no purpose in working togather against only the zombies because there is no rewards for racking up the kill count. Once you get settled in terms of equipment then its just the easy job of recovering what you use, and that becomes a chore. In player vs player its a thrill to hunt other players. Its enjoyable to watch how the battle plays out. Racking up a murder count is more dangerous and entertaining then getting zombie kills. I dont want to fight hordes of mass respawning zombies with AI. I want to fight other players when death is permanent.

holy hell learn to read. I never said exploits are okay, re-read what i posted. Furthermore I can deal with exploits because at least my decision making/reaction COULD have an effect. A bug is beyond my control to control or alter. Anyhow this thread no longer has a purpose now that hacker activity has gone through the roof. In the course of 2 hours tonight ive ran into 2 fully repaired choppers in random places they shouldnt be. Under one of the heli's was a dude in camo gear with a AS50 and every took from your wish list plus a silenced M9 with 7 clips of ammo. And to cap it off he had a coyote bag......Not very good chances of being legit imo.

Are you a mentally handicapped? okay hero, you can go ahead and stick around on a server with people using scripts and hacks. Theres a difference between crashing the game to avoid death via cheaters and crashing the game to get out of dying in a fair fire fight with another player, if you cant wrap your head around that concept theres no hope for you.
