Disappointment (warning: pointless!)
Skat3rat replied to Hooveh's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Well let me explain in short how the Arma engine works. The Arma engine is designed to allow the user to do pretty much what ever he/she wants. That is the extremely short description of what the Arma engine is like. If you want to know more about it and in depth you can search the forums for a thread about it. Anyways, because of this, hackers and script kiddies don't have much of an issue of hacking. All they have to do is run a script and, boom! what ever he just ran happened because the Arma engine doesn't question what the user is doing. It just allows it. Battleye's job is to stop the scripting and hacking by hackers as much as possible without doing anything to the Arma engine. They can only do this to a certain point and are doing quite well at it too. -

Yeah I'd like to find their campsite. We've been talking about finding it for the last couple days. Along with taking out their entire clan. -
Probably the craziest thing that has ever happened to me.

Dang man that would of been cool to see. -
Install DayZ commander. It can update it for you and let you know if your out of date.

Sounded like those shots came from the East though I can't say for sure. I need to fix my mic on TS though. I kept cutting out. -
You're lucky then XD I have freakin terrifying experiences there. Usually worse than firefights because I have no clue what is happening. It's fear of the unknown that is usually the scariest and not knowing who or what is messing with me scares me beyond anything else in DayZ.

I'm really liking the editing right now. Can't wait for the third video. Btw: How did last night go after I got off? I don't know what happened to my DayZ but I was having too many issues so I just decided to call it a night. -
Balota Buddies- The Butterfly Effect featuring John Rambo

Typical Noob, for a typical noob you sure are pro. I think you should change your name to, Typical Pro. -

I don't get how you heard Mr. Nasty but my buds didn't. You were only 20-40 meters away. -

Well Idk if this is you...[Link Remove] There is a one letter difference in your name. If this is you, then you're are signed up on countless other hacking sites too... In which case I'd be lad another hacker got banned.
-
It's fine. It does get kind of annoying to see the same thing over and over again but your idea had a slight difference to it than others.
-
XD That happens to me everytime I try to fly a jet in Arma. I have no clue why either.
-
Well it is possible your CD Key was stolen. Did you download any program that claimed to do something like increase your FPS?
-
Imagine a sweet little bambi playing DayZ for the first time and seeing a full equipped zombie running straight towards him. His little innocent mind would be scarred for life.

It's not exactly Arma's fault. Something I read a while back went into why it's so easy for script kiddies to hack. I don't remember everything but the dumbed down and shortened version is this. The Arma engine is built to allow the user to do practically anything he/she wants without denying it to. Obviously there are certain things you can't do but as far as scripting goes the possibilities of what you can do are endless. So these script kiddies can just simply run a script and the Arma engine allows it. This is how the hackers do what they do.

Oh look, an MP5 on the firehouse floor.....
Skat3rat replied to SJKSJK's topic in New Player Discussion
Personally I'd rather role with a hatchet than a MP5. OP it's just wrong place wrong time. Maybe you could play on lower pop servers to get use to the game then start playing on higher pop once you got the hang of stuff. -

Skat3rat replied to fathairybeast's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I'm looking forward to it. -
I'd say it's worth it. As others have stated Arma II alone is an amazing game and there are a lot more mods for it that our just as good and better than DayZ imo. If you purchased it now it would also help you get a feel of the game before SA comes out.
-
It's an interesting idea. If a feature like that could be presented in DayZ it would be a nice one. What Welch read is true. Having cold and hot weather which affects zombies and even players would give a more realistic aspect in the game and one I would be interested in.

Orlok doesn't even have to post now!

Well SA will have a different anti hack system but one flaw I noticed in your idea is the one about someone going from one area to another within a second. The problem with that is hackers find it funny apparently to teleport everyone on the server to one location and kill them. Well if a player is on the other end of the map when he gets teleported then the idea of banning people who tp long distances would get an innocent player banned.

You got a heck of a lot of footage. How large is the file(s)? I know I use up close to 1GB for everyone 10 minutes I record with BandiCam. -

Did Typical Noob get the combat loggers on footage? I know he got chaotic aborting so it's only a matter of time before he gets banned. The rest of them had no balls and were just full of themselves. Turns out they were working with Steven, Mike, and Merlin so we were all being hunted by a larger group of players. As for the firefight I wish I could of been there. Though as intense as it sounds I probably would of panicked and got killed. Or maybe I would of lived. Hard to say Mike and Steven were a lot more mad at me than I expected them to be. My house on my private Minecraft tekkit server looks like a war zone but I made sure theirs' was replaced with a giant crater XD I'll be willing to help you get that truck back sometime. Big props to Typical Noob for taking out the driver with a double barrel.
