DayZ is going to end up like The War Z (more hackers in DayZ than The War Z)

[Maxxgold (DayZ) 62]

The WarZ has had the same problems with hackers that DayZ has had from day one. You can't honestly say you can even try to play on a public server without getting hacked. If you do then your just a liar. While the DayZ game is way better than the War Z, it doesn't matter if you can't play without cheaters and hackers because they can ruin the best game. So unless these developers can assure us that we are going to be able to enjoy this game with out being over run with cheaters and hackers from day one then I'm not buying this game and I urge others not to but it either, at least until the game gets reviewed and tested.Just for the record I made this statement towards The WarZ and they all blasted me for stating the obvious and I'm sure the community here will do the same. Most likely they will delete or lock this post because thats what the War Z developers did too. I look back now and laugh at the pathetic War Z team, they got what they deserved. They don't want you to hear the truth, they just want to cash in and then let you deal with all the problems. DayZ on one hand is a sucsess but on the other hand its a failure because it is probably the most hacked game ever. So you tell me why you would buy a game that has the title of most hacked game ever. I'm sure there have been other games that got hacked more but I don't recall any games that are this badly hacked. The developers of this game are just as bad as the War Z developers. They delete negative posts and lie. The same thing is going to happen to them that happened to the War Z team. They are trying to tell us that they are going to make it hard to hack the standalone ??? How is a company that can't protect any of their games all of a sudden going to be able to thwart hackers and cheaters when they have never done it before ??? So you heard it hear first, don't make angry posts after you buy this pile of crap. Don't get upset when the game is over run with hackers and you have wasted your money, just move on and deal with it. The only reason people still play DayZ is because of the private community.

I ain't mad at ya' bro.

But lets review the positives.

WarZ is a shit engine, which makes hacking a bit easier. Piss poor, speed programing.

I'm not sure if WarZ even has any type of protection (In terms of Battleye, or whatever the hell they will be using with steam)

The power of private community and whitelist is a very good thing on DayZs behalf, although it does take away from me that I can't jump from server to server.

Rocket stated that he will be putting more power into the hands of ACTIVE ADMINS on servers. This can be dangerous - but very good if you find a nice home, that doesn't have a 15 year old as a admin spying for his buddies.

Also with the attacks that have been put onto WarZs servers - it is because the way the company conducts itself (in regards to them getting shut down several days due to attacks) and I don't think DayZ will see this type of attack as long as Rocket doesn't keep breaking his word to give us news...

I've been playing a DayZ + whitelist thats rather busy lately, (30+ players is the normal day, 50 at night) and man... its enjoyable.

Are you raging at Warzzzz? or are you forgetting the DayZ server points?

I and many play on private servers where admin find and detect hackers and kick them, Warzzz does not have this ability. hackers can't even get passed some passwords.

There will always be admin on some servers where they can protect their members. If Warzzz had private servers they could offer their players a safe place to play!!

I and many can play in safety, because the community does not want everything handing to them on a plate. there are always ways to enjoy a great game.

The reason it's "the most hacked game ever" is ARMA, and it's not because the devs are clueless, it was the way the game was designed and hacking was never considered a problem in ARMA itself because the player base was completely different. The standalone is going to be locked down which should stop the majority of the hacks but not all, Rocket has acknowledged this himself. It won't be 100% hack free but with the locked engine, new cheat protection and private hives it should be pretty close.

Who the hell wouldn't rage agains't WarZ? Its a joker ass game, if you feel that games got enough enjoyable content then wow... damn. As Rista is saying, the Arma II engine your client talks to the server, tells the server things. Makes it easy for script kiddies. In the standalone, the client will ASK the server things, rather then tell. As with any game, there is going to be hackers and brat kids that play to make others QQ because they QQ about real life... ;D

Stating facts is however, VERY far from raging. Its called being factual... :|
