MikeTupper 68 Posted December 31, 2012 So, yeah, i've been off DayZ and its forums for about three months, but I decided to dive back in. Last time I played, hackers were everywhere and I kept being insta-killed by various paranormal phenomenon. I just wanted to know if it's still as bad. Have the hackers finally gotten bored? Has security been increased? Or has the wonderful DayZ community self-regulated itself and all hackers have now joined hands with the other players in kumbayah around a bonfire of WarZ copies?

Testwd3r235 2810 Posted December 31, 2012 (edited) Hackers exist but are not that common anymore. I recommend private hives, they usually never have hackers.Choose one from here if you want: http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/forum/64-private-hive-discussion/ Edited December 31, 2012 by MacabreLlama99 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Col. Kurtz (DayZ) 91 Posted December 31, 2012 Honestly, it would seem that the hackers have dropped off. Not entirely mind you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
10bag 22 Posted December 31, 2012 Stay on private hives, you rarely see hackers there. Most servers are private now anyway.I went in on the public hive yesterday and was killed within about 2 hours by an invisible suppressed M4-wielding hacker, so I'd say hacking is still rampant.

BlksnshN 127 Posted December 31, 2012 I jumped on DayZ for about 15 minutes last night to try to set up an X Box controller (INB4 ERMEHGOD WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT) to play DayZ with as I am much more comfortable with a controller. Before I was even half way through mapping the controls I noticed my character suddenly had an AS50 TWS. Then a news alert type message showed up on the screen proclaiming that "the admins are f#%king idiots" and my character started dancing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fraggle (DayZ) 15720 Posted December 31, 2012 If you find a good private server with good admins then hackers won't be a problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
funky_mish 75 Posted December 31, 2012 I jumped back in a couple of days ago, and was rewarded by finding my first ever ghillie suit within about 30 minutes of spawning. And then 15 minutes later... another one! It felt like the game was welcoming me back lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
