corruptshadow 4 Posted June 17, 2012 Well the game is fun as hell but hackers just ruining it, will leave it to you all to keep the testing going. I can stomach the bombs and dying or whatever what I cant stomach is the map hacks that allow people to see where you are and where the vehicles are hidden. They then teleport in when your not there take your vehicle and teleport out with it... dont say it dont exist there is plenty of youtube videos showing the hacks in progress.Till this is fixed all thats left to do is play death match no point trying stock up on anything or make camps as it will be gone when you get back anyways./End rant Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
switch296 20 Posted June 17, 2012 So I'm guessing you had your vehicle stolen. How do you have any proof whatsoever that your vehicle was stolen by a hacker? Why the hell would a hacker want to steal a vehicle anyway when he can just spawn whatever he wants?Just because you hid it well does not mean it will not be found mate, me and my clan have found extremely well hidden vehicles very easily.. the map isn't that big when you have 5+ people grid searching all the forested areas around the map.

corruptshadow 4 Posted June 17, 2012 So your telling me that people spend all day just running through forests looking for hidden camps? I would believe it if this was all they did all day long but having had over 10 camps found and vehicles stolen in multiple different out of the way and some more obvious under your nose places within 1-3 hours of having set them up I dont believe it.Our 1st camp lasted almost 2 weeks b4 the game was popular now our camps dont last for more then a few hours at most.

laszers 6 Posted June 17, 2012 60 players, constantly moving, equals camps being found, and yes some people do devote days to this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bad_mojo (DayZ) 1204 Posted June 17, 2012 Once you have the best equipment there isn't much else to do than search for camps & vehicles.Have you tried placing a tent since the update? * [FIXED] Tent placement is completely screwed (now can place anywhere except in building)seems like it'll be a lot easier to hide them in the trees now.

corruptshadow 4 Posted June 17, 2012 Search dayz hacks on youtube and watch the action in progress. We have played the grid search game before sometimes we been lucky but more often then not you come out empty handed and its boring as hell. I refuse to believe there are groups of ppl out there devoted solely to holding w and scanning the grids all day constantly looking for camps.Like I said even knowing exactly where a lot of these camps were on the map and geographically we would still miss them and have to back track a bit to find them. Its possible people just happened to find a few of them while traveling out in the nothingness looking for hidden camps but not so quickly and consistently as has been happening. Like I said back whren the game wasnt riddled with hackers our camps would easily last a week or more now not even 3 hours... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flyingmonkey (DayZ) 0 Posted June 17, 2012 The map really isn't that big, no matter how large you might believe it is.I played on a server with only 3 others online at the time, given the map size, you'd think I wouldn't see any of them.Running through a random forest on the very edge of the map, boom, run into 2 of them.Doesn't matter where you put stuff, it will eventually be found.Forests are the highways of DayZ, it's hard to hide things in the middle of the road, no matter how remote it may be.

Verdett 0 Posted June 17, 2012 Huh, that explains why I was picked off by a group of people who were heavily armed my very first attempt at the game when I found myself at the edge of the map just wandering through the woods, I bet you a dollar I was near someone's camp.

switch296 20 Posted June 17, 2012 corruptshadow, believe it mate.You don't even need a group of people, I quite often search the entire northern section of the map's forested areas just by myself on a bicycle/atv in a couple of hours and find every single tent around there then spend another hour doing the western side of the map and find basically every half decent camp on the server.It's not hard.Don't accuse the community of hacking just because you can't hide your vehicles well..
