I have been playing DayZ since it was at around 30,000 - 50,000 players, I would assume some of you on this forum were playing back then, and If you were I'm sure you would agree that the DayZ community was great, People that were strangers to each other before, would help each other, form squads together and make the trek to the northern airfield all through the in game chat system, without knowing each other in reality...sure there were bandits, but not everyone would just mindlessly kill anyone who walked towards them with a flashlight and a patrol pack, that didn't cause any threat to them. But I think the best thing about these times were no HACKERS. Throughout the course of more and more players entering DayZ, I feel that the community has desensitized from the idea of killing somebody to keep your valuable life, to killing new players or players that cause no threat to pretty much say "Lol Own3d" Over the last month I have only logged onto the game for about 10 hours all up, as I found the game unplayable from the amount of Hackers and glitches within the game, During this time I died over 20 times from hackers alone. I find it disheartening that somebody can just join the server I am on, Teleport everyone on the server to one place and drop all of us from a height where we fall to our deaths, and then to have the hacker laughing over microphone. Over the last week I've been playing the game a fair amount as I thought hackers had been banned or the hack had been patched, and the game seemed good for a few days I acquired with a friend, nv goggles, AS50, DMR and a GPS, you might not think this is much, but I was happy with it. Then over the last couple of days I have encountered a fair amount of hackers. I was minding my own business when all of a sudden a Black SUV (clearly a hacker) teleported in front of me and was driving towards me, I quickly alt F4 to save myself from being unfairly killed. I then joined another server the next day to find a Bandit in some bushes (as usual :P) I fired at him multiple times with my AS50 and twice hit him in the head (blood) he then got up and ran at me running side to side, I hit him 3 more times in the chest still nothing, I alt F4ed again as he was another hacker... About 1 Hour ago I was playing on the server NZ 04 or NZ 02 (not too sure) I was playing with a friend and we were bandit hunting in Stary Sobor, and my friend said to me "I'm really happy with my gear, lets just stay here" 5 seconds later, the whole server was teleported to the top of the map, and we all fell to our deaths, all my hard earned gear gone, for some low life hacker to have 5 minutes of joy. I don't see this game making it much longer, unless something is done about Hackers. it is ruining the whole experience and immersion of this great mod for everyone. Please reply with your thoughts on this topic. Shifty. :)

Sorry man, new to the forum so I havent been reading how many threads about hacking there are, just trying to raise awareness and get the DayZ community back to what its supposed to be.

It could be, but they're going to have to do something, otherwise legit players such as myself are just going to leave and not buy the standalone because of bad experiences with the Mod, or they could atleast let us see that they are trying to fix shit.

I also think that there should be a way of retrieving or restoring the players items who has been killed unfairly. such as maybe creating a save of the character 12 hours old and one at present, so if a player appeals that they were killed unfairly they may be able to get their items restored.

@ironman tetsuo I guess that does make sense, thanks for the link!
