dasd2516 87 Posted November 24, 2012 (edited) in order to discourage people from hacking. less people will risk a ban if they have to pay $25 instead of $15 for a new copy.or the cost for the game should be raised after a few monthsalso it will no longer be possible to buy stolen keys in standalone so everyone has to pay the full price every time they get banned.

TheFriendlyHacker 5 Posted November 24, 2012 (edited) Trust me, I've seen scripters pay the full price for ArmA 2: OA if they're desperate. I think price dosen't matter to some people, but it will to others.I'll stop scripting/cheating/hacking in the standalone because of price, and the fact that it will have less hackers, meaning you can play legit. I only got my hacks so I stand a chance against other scripters, and so I can protect my friends from them.Basically, yeah, make SA fairly expensive.

OrLoK 16182 Posted November 24, 2012 in order to discourage people from hacking. less people will risk a ban if they have to pay $25 instead of $15 for a new copy.or the cost for the game should be raised after a few months at least.Fine, if you pay for my copy. Not all of us have cash to throw around. Also, there's no way price will effect scripters.RgdsLoK 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
smore98 225 Posted November 24, 2012 I am sure the developers will understand this eventually and put up the price a little.However, they might be lowering the price for those who bought Arma II + Operation Arrowhead specifically for DayZ. Some sort of compensation for their devotion.However, if hackers like to spend $15 everytime they fuck up, let them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tsandrey 379 Posted November 24, 2012 You do understand that most hackers get keys by stealing them from legit users? Increasing the game price will only hurt legit players ;) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hawc 63 Posted November 24, 2012 I agree, it should be at least 25$ in alpha then up to 50-60$. If you can pay for internet and electricity you can pay that small one-time fee. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ZomboWTF 527 Posted November 24, 2012 A good programmer can easily look through the key algorithms which define a Arma2OA key or even a DayZ Standalone key, changing the price wont change a thing, since most hackers will use generated keys anyway, or steal keys+guid from players who are dumb enough to klick on sites containing "free ***s guaranteed working!!!11!eleven!"Upping the price will only result in fewer people buying it, wether they are hackers or not 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shnikies 14 Posted November 24, 2012 No way its 60$ it wont even be complete when its released. They would be insane to release this game for 60$ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zexis 127 Posted November 24, 2012 Price hikes are not the best way to combat crackers and skiddies. The new server-side architecture should already help a good deal, and while hacks will always exist, I'll be surprised if they're anywhere near as prevalent as they are now.I guess time will tell. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fraggle (DayZ) 15720 Posted November 24, 2012 OP - I strongly disagree. Hackers will hack whatever the price the SA is released at, why punish the legit (and patient) community further by making them pay more? In fact a higher price will exclude some people and may even make them consider hacking when they never would have done so to begin with. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Emre (DayZ) 6 Posted November 24, 2012 Yeah i vote for 25 bucks as well. Hope it won't be like 10 or 15. I dont like the F2P games community at all. And 10 or 15 is basicly makes the game free to play. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And 10 or 15 is basicly makes the game free to play.It doesn't really at all, what makes F2P games bad and the community is when it's Pay 2 win as it's not a case of skill anymore it's "I can buy better guns than you" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fraggle (DayZ) 15720 Posted November 24, 2012 As long as there's no micro transactions involved (which there won't be) it'll be nothing like a free to play game or have any of the issues that come with it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
