Motard

I agree with the point of removing thermal scopes, and .50 cals should be incredible rare. 8 years in the army and I still have not even seen a thermal scope and like a previous poster said, the primary assault weapons like the m16, m4, ak should be easy to find around any military camps. Although I think the ammo should be much rarer, because if you think about it, the most logical reason these military camps were overrun had to be because they became low on ammo otherwise these zombies wouldn't stand much of a chance against a camp full of trained personnel. Or maybe I'm putting too much thought into a video game....

004107 on US 1006 4 choppers, and tents full of hacked weapons

So now they just change their Cd key and get right back to the hacking. Battleye is garbage.

Was just teleported to grid 001999, not even on the map, just barren wasteland, GPS doesn't work, not even any zombies in sight to kill me so i can respawn. My only option is to wait and starve to death.....please bring back the Respawn button, the hackers are taking advantage of it being disabled. Actually, I suppose I could just join a high pop server and wait 5 minutes until some hacker comes in to wipe the server.

very nice rebuttal! you provided a logical point of view that has altered my perspective, I completely agree! *end sarcasm* and by the way, i'm running with a well outfitted set and several tents full of backup gear, so no...that's not the reason either.....this is not end game, it's an alpha, how many times do people need to be told?

"so you want to destroy everything that everyone has". Like I said, this is an alpha, everyone here is basically volunteering their time to play this version and help work out the bugs. This is nothing more then a test for the standalone game, I'm just putting out a suggestion that might help get things changed and tweaked. I never said this was a fix to the hacker/duper problem but it would make it easier to pin point the offenders, if the server get's wiped and all of a sudden a player has all the top tier gear, well, they gather the data from that player and that should narrow down the amount of info the developers have to go through in order to fix that issue. It all comes down to the fact that everyone playing is a tester. Why are people getting so attached to their gear and character? It's a freakin' alpha, most games don't even allow their beta versions to go open to the public.

"terrible for new players"? This isn't a full version game that someone just bought, it's an alpha of a mod, everything should be about testing the current version for finding out what works and what's broken. How can you test a game that's already in a broken status (hacking/duping), wipe it every so often so people actually have a chance to experience the real gameplay and the developers can actually get some decent info to make the required changes.

With the recent increase in hackers and dupers, how about starting weekly or even monthly 100% wipes (tents, player equipment, vehicles)? This is an alpha after all and everyone here is a tester, how can we test a product after it has drifted so far from it's intention. Until the hacking and item duping can be taken care of something needs to be done, there is way too much equipment in circulation now that shouldn't be. It's not going to stop the hacking and duping but at least it will keep things under control, and would also keep players along the coast longer, allowing for more player interaction and from what I can take of this, it seems that this is one of the key points of this game/experiment.

duped post

People will continue to play as long as there is only the one option, I'm looking forward to WarZ and Class 3 only because it will produce some competition and force the developers to provide us with a quality product. You'll see how fast these bugs and hacks will be fixed once there are other similar games available.

add weapons? if anything they should be removing weapons. Have you ever seen an average citizen try and work a modern firearm, they look absolutely clueless, yet here some random survivor washes up on shore and takes to a .50 cal sniper rifle like it's second nature. Maybe the survivors are all like "Jason Bourne" operatives.

And that's why these forums are so full of garbage....no one bothers with the search function anymore, it's there for a reason.

you won't get banned for using a weapon hacked in by someone else....for the other 80% or so of players that don't use this forum, they pick up these weapons and have no idea they were hacked so of course they'll use them. You can't just ban them for a cheat that someone else did.

Did you even bother to look at the current topics posted?

OMG! Please take me under your wing and help me become as skilful as you, oh great bus master.
