My mates and I were recently playing on a Namalsk sever this morning and were having a good old time until a certain player joined the game. His IGN was Pastrydude69. My friend witnessed him and his crew ( Austnen, Exileez, SneakySnake, xCEx Colonel, Lacerate, [LORD] Lounacy, & [CSA]Stonewall Jackson ) spawn in the usual medical crate with all different types of backpacks around it, and then they preceeded to spawn in a couple of KA-60 helicopters. After being ambushed out of nowhere ( likely teleporting as well ) observing them spawn stuff in was the icing on the script kiddie cake. In conclusion to the whole shenanigan, they also controlled our characters, and after telling them how pathetic they were, I was told "you need fresh air" in side channel chat and they booted me offline for nearly a minute. My mate managed to FRAPS Pastrydude69 as he sat in his invincible (I put 10 rounds of NATO into it) KA-60 and ate Gauss Rifle rounds to the face as well as more NATO rounds as well. These script kiddies dominated the server with their cheap scripts, and managed to flush everyone out but them and us. Hopefully something can be done about them, I'm not even sure if the whole server isn't one big script fest. Here's the server name: DayZNamalsk US62 1.7.3 Lots of Vehicles (0.60/99153) [REGULAR|3DP:ON|CH:ON][GMT+9] Always Daylight - Simon Buckingham IP: 199.241.184.34:2302 Video evidence:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oekQqFDbGlo&feature=g-user-u

Great progress; this game is going to win Game of the Year, I know it!

This server is a great private hive to play on! I've been with the Bad Company guys for a while and they definitely know how to run a server. With active admins almost always on, helpful advice for new players, and a great community, it's by far my favorite private hive! If you're looking for a true survival experience without 120+ vehicles roaming around, script kiddies, and ludicrous loadouts, then definitely come check the server out!

Hotfix 1.7.2.6 was recently released on September 6, 2012. For one, I didn't even have any idea that another hotfix was going to be released; I thought 1.7.3 was going to be the next update. I went to go look at the changelog on the download mirror page but there isn't anything related to 1.7.2.6. So I ask all of you, what was actually fixed/changed? I saw Rocket's tweet about artifacting being gone, but is it really gone? Considering we were promised the extermination of artifacting in 1.7.2.5, have they actually got it right this time? Does this hotfix break more than it fixes, or is it worth a download?

I've seen a handful of sigs that list how many days their character has survived and nearly crapped myself. I applaud them for surviving 20+ days, but I'm also dumbfounded. How in the world could one survive for that long without being killed by a scripter or hacker? There isn't a day that goes by that I'm not getting teleported to and killed. Or sniped from an unrealistic distance. I don't even want to attempt to survive for that long because I fear all my hard work will be washed down the drain by a thirteen year old kid and a couple of scripts. So I ask, how in the world one survives for such a long time? Am I joining the wrong servers? Or am I just one unlucky SOB?

The cheating problem has destroyed this mod entirely, it's hanging on by a thread. That's why I started to play on private hives like Lingor Island. Hardly any cheaters in private hives.

How about you learn proper fucking English and then maybe I'll consider trading with you.

After the recent nerfing on so many weapons including the Lee Enfield and AK-74, I would have to say the most underrated gun would be the AKM. It still does an insane amount of damage, has zeroing, the ammo is very easy to come by, and overall it's a superior assault rifle. I love it! My thoughts on the Mk 48 Mod: Fuck. Yes. Never had one myself, but I saw a friend of mine absolutely destroy someone with it. :D

Beans for you, brother!

You're pissing off a lot of people which means you're doing something right. Beans for you, brother!

OP has a point. After 30 minutes of a skype call with someone the quality takes a shit. TeamSpeak 3 is so much more useful than skype. Skype can actually be so demanding that it can make your game lag. I think he might have offended a few skype fanboys and children with acute technical knowledge, but he's speaking the truth.

If you've seen some of the interviews with Rocket, he stated the Alpha will be somewhere around 15$, but the full retail price will be no more than 30$. Pricing isn't the problem, and won't fix anything, ArmA's engine is the problem, so once the mod grows to a standalone that doesn't use the crap engine, the hacking/scripting problem should be resolved. No matter how much the game is, there will always be cheaters, and an anti-cheat system to thwart them. ;)

I think the player body sinking through the ground is a little cheap and un-realistic, but seeing as that's the only way, that's what we gotta deal with.

I can't wait to snipe Mr. Bandit and his dog. It's time to go fucking Old Yeller, DayZ style.

Considering Lucas Arts sabotaged the development of Star Wars: Battlefront 3, no, just no.

Well he sounded French, so you did the right thing. Fuckin' frenchies.

The daily players are going down because I'm pretty sure a ton of people are getting fed up with the script kiddie problem, because it is a HUGE problem. If I didn't love this game so much I would have quite already. I don't blame the people who leave because this game is totally without a doubt broken right now, and all the Rocket fanboys who would probably do sexual favors for him disagree, but it's the honest truth. Only the lucky ones manage to survive and not get teleported to or sniped away by some fag with ESP. People don't want to spend so much precious time in a game like this just to get slaughtered by a 12 year old kid and some hacks his daddy's credit card bought him. Sure the mod is in Alpha, but can you really say it's still being developed? Rocket and his team don't care about this mod on ArmA's shit engine, they know they're dreams and goals aren't going to be fulfilled here. That's why a standalone is being developed, and that's why we receive monthly updates that seem to break more than they fix. He doesn't give a fuck, even he knows the mod is broken beyond repair! So when you want to run your mouths to a player who is fed up with this mod, don't. Just because you play on a private hive with all your fucking boyfriends doesn't mean everyone else is just as lucky. If you can enjoy the game, then do it. But don't fucking ridicule players who aren't interested in a broken mod.

For fucks sake he was just making a very hilarious and lucrative suggestion, you all don't have to go all General fucking Surgeon on him, damn. "Smoking is bad, blah blah blah." You all sound like a bunch of pansies. Smoking and drinking would definitely create a very realistic element in the game. I mean sure they're both bad for your health, but I'm pretty sure a diet of Soda and Canned Foods isn't so good either.

I think the sniping is perfect if you're going for a more realistic game, but I also think they shouldn't have nerfed so many guns like the Lee Enfield and Ak-74, seeing as those rounds are extremely powerful. The sniping is realistic, but most of the other weapons aren't.

If you used hacks because you were sick and tired of being teleported to and being killed un-fairly, maybe then I'd give a tiny bit of sympathy, but if sounds like you just suck fucking dick at the game. So now you run around with god mode like a little script kiddie does and you ruin the game for everyone else. I hope Battleye wrecks you in the anus. Hard.

Good on ya for blacking out your name, wouldn't want to get banned for that hacked weapon and humanity, now would ya? ;)

As I've said many times on this forum, the glitches/hacks/bugs/scripting won't be fixed for two reasons: 1. ArmA's engine is complete shit for the DayZ mod. 2. Why fix the glitches when you can leave the mod broken, ensuring millions of players are going to buy the standalone because they're tired of the broken mod. Cha-ching, Rocket makes millions.

Yes.

Ohmygerd, what if they removed bandages?! How awesome would it be if you started to bleed out and couldn't fix yourself up! So then you would have to chose your battles wisely, oh man, how awesome would that be! That's essentially what you just posted, and I feel even more stupid for reading it.

Will there be scripting in the standalone? Will the duping problem be fixed? Blah blah blah. SHUT THE FUCK UP already. Nobody will know about any of the problem fixes until the standalone is fucking released later this year. So shut the fuck up, please.
