Slickback (DayZ)

That would be extremely difficult without hacks. Even still the most I've gotten with hacks was around 14 and that was still hard to do. I tried at least 5 times; however, it usually ends up in some idiot shooting at the bus which leads to everyone shooting the guy shooting the bus. Then one of them "accidentally" kills another guy and they start shooting each other. Sometimes a hacker will script kill me + bus riders.....you get the picture. Anyways, to do this with completely random people, without using hacks =/.....well you'd have a better chance at winning the lottery (serious)

LOL why you gotta lie

1) Put left hand point finger on escape button 2) Have right hand on mouse ready to click 3) Press escape 4) Click the respawn button In order for this to work you have to click the respawn button within <0.75 seconds of pressing escape

1) It's not overpowered if everyone can use it 2) As mentioned before my post, there are plenty of servers without third person I would probably not play DayZ if third person was disabled. However, not because it MIGHT make the game more tactical, but because of the point you mentioned in your OP: "3rd person camera look impossible to replace but u only think that because you have always played with that camera from the very beginning of the game" Anyways, disabling third person would be a EXTREMELY foolish mistake on Rocket and his goon squad's part. Why not just make a number of servers with 3rd person and some without. The amount of servers for each would be in relation to the amount of players who prefer third person of course. IMO /thread

Well it seems I have gotten my answer and then some......

I figured you had to call your ISP to reset your IP. If it truly is that easy I could see why they don't IP ban. However, I am assuming IP banning doesn't take more than 10 seconds which in my mind is worth it if you can deter a few hundred hackers.

LOL you guys really need to get out more or do something with your life. This thread just made me realize once again why I try to avoid this site.

No it's bad don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Even on medium pop servers hackers are rampant, although maybe not as obvious compared to larger pop servers. One of the more subtle, but still devastating consequences of hackers that gets overlooked is the camps they create. On almost every 15-40+ pop server hackers create camps that 99% of the time have multiple vehicles stolen from other players. It's not limited to one camp per server either. I've seen 3 camps on the same server that each had their own squad of vehicles; as a result, no more vehicles were left on the map for legit players to find. Don't feel like explaining much more, but if you want the truth message me. P.S. Don't ask how I know things :)

OP is winning

the navigator has been out for 3 weeks......the survival hack has been out for at least a week. Hardly would call that success

Before you flame me, which I'm sure you will, hear me out and yes this is another hacking thread. After having this game for over a month, I have realized that it is so common to be killed by hackers that it is very likely if you go on a server with over 25 people and stay on it for awhile you will be mass killed. With that in mind and me not wanting to stick to servers with low populations I resorted to using hacks. However, I did not use them to kill people instead I used it as a way to "save" my character. If I ever get killed by any type of hack: instant kill, thermal sniper, or any other kind of hack, I will script in the weapons that I had lost. But, I only use this if I am sure I was killed by a hacker. If I have not been then I will gladly start a new. So my point is, this game is so saturated with hackers I can't understand how anyone could enjoy playing it without hacks. P.S. didn't proofread

I promise to you none of this is a lie or exaggerated. Just yesterday I was killed by thermal once, and mass killed 3 times. On different servers!

Oh I've done it all except killing players with hacks, but it removes almost all of the fun and purpose of the game entirely. Which is why I tried playing legit many many many times only to be killed by other hackers. I just can't play without hacks knowing that most likely I will be killed unfairly in a few hours.

I completely agree with you that getting the gear is half the fun. Hell for me it's probably a lot more than that. But, when you repeatedly die from instant kill hacks multiple times a day. I can cope with it a lot better by scripting in gear, instead of constantly going through the same routine to get the basic necessities needed to progress through DayZ.

No. Definitely keep first and third person view

......I just can't take you seriously. .....You do know what a pedophile is right? Please say no, it's only 1:30 P.M. and my patience for stupid is already gone.

Did you just say scripters are worse than ....pedophiles? Are you a fucking idiot? I am literally in disbelief here how stupid some of you can be. There are going to be hackers in this game until stand alone. If all you guys are gonna do is bitch about hackers and script kiddies until stand alone comes out then quit. You don't have to play this game, no one is forcing you and you certainly don't have to make a 10 threads a day crying about how hackers are ruining the game.

Heh that's pretty funny. When I used scripts I would always help out people and never kill them :). Usually I would give new spawns and generally anyone who seemed like a good fellow, helicopter tours. Sometimes I'd even let them fly the helicopter. Then I would spawn them some gear, wish them luck and send them on their way. It's too bad you don't remember the name of the hacker we could have been good friends :(

If you have played DayZ for even a few days, I am sure you've been the victim of a sniper at least once. But, how powerful is sniping compared to normal assault weapons such as the M4A1? I am going to keep my criticism out of this discussion, but what do you guys think. Should sniping be nerfed in stand alone or perhaps even buffed? Please don't flame or leave one word answers.

No....ok maybe just a little. However, speaking for myself, I would pay that if the game was actually that good and really worth that much. I want DayZ to be the best it can be. If everyone's only shelling out $10, the dev's won't have much money to work with. Consequently, DayZ will suffer.......which is no good. So I have no problem paying a lot more money because I believe in this game. That's my take on it.

This game really does have HUGE potential if Rocket and the dev's play their cards right it should be a work of art. In my opinion, DayZcan be one of the best games of decade. It will take some time, even after stand alone, but if everything the Devs say they want to do and more is accomplished it will be my favorite game EVA. So that is why I chose the whatever it takes option. Now mind you, when I say whatever it takes I mean upwards of $300. If I knew what the finished product would look like and how the dev's would go about keeping it updated I would probably go near $500. Edit #1: Obvious sentence fragment is obvious

In this type of game you want the currency to be something that is widely available to all players, but also useful to everyone. I'll try to make up an example for you. Let's say we use all types of beef as currency. Ranging from rabbit meat to cow. Since different types of meat have heal different amounts of blood we can pretend that rabbit meat = $1 while cow meat = $100 and everything else in between is based off of the amount of blood it heals. Since everyone needs to eat to survive and also since meat restores a hell of a lot more blood than beans every type of player can benefit from it, which would prompt players to trade items in exchange for beef. Heatpacks ........I could work I guess. I mean anything could work in reality! However, the whole player base would have to accept that heat packs are the currency now, no matter the usefulness and rarity. Anyways, that is what came off the top of my head after reading your post. I kind of worded the whole thing poorly, but you should get the point =p.

Oh wow. Thanks for reminding me about the launch being today! I had completely forgot about it. ....Have to get a VPN first though I ain't going with 2 MBPS internet from my cheap college >.<

If the laptop has built in overclocking then yeah you should definitely use it. Sadly I was not lucky to have a built in overclocking program, so I had to download a program for it. It worked out great I was going from on average 1.6 GHZ to a constant 2.4 GHZ. However, after a week of using it every time I would start the program up my screen would start flickering. The laptop's temp was fine, but the screen would just flicker like every 30ish seconds. I did not want to risk my laptop so I removed the program and everything was normal after that :) Just be careful though whenver I research overclocking a lot of people agree that laptop's should not be overclocked.
