DayZ Going to the Dogs?

[Zyqax 0]

Hello. I've played DayZ for a couple of months.

This is a very brief explanation of how things went.

Week 1~3: Amazing, no flaws, only more interested and more keen to play!

Week 4~5 Spotted one "hacking" / "glitching" event, once at each week.

Week 6~Present EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. Hackers are rampant, this DAYZ Zombie Survival has become ***er Survival. I think before any further development is put into this game -- obliterate the hackers! If you let them keep going, there will be no one left to play.

Here's what's happened to me today. I don't mind dying, at all. It happens, it's a game.

But when I have legitimately gotten out of several ugly encounters and are up to Day 4 of my survival just to have it INSTANTLY destroyed by some adminhackerfags. It makes me wonder -- why the hell should I bother with this game?

NZ 25 [Hosted by www.Orcon.co.nz] was assaulted by this hacking front 38 minutes before this thread was created. People were spawned at the NW Airfield, buildings were set in place, everyone's primary inventories were cleared however Backpacks and Toolbelt Equipment remained. Before I could do anything, I read "All your equipment is inside the HUGE crate in the middle, if you try and leave you will die instantly. Whoever is the last one alive gets out." it also read "heli spawn" ticking down from 2 minutes.

If your response is as simple as "Who cares, we'll wait for the standalone", I'll save my time, take my friends and never return here again. But if you are willing to make an honest effort to make this place better -- as good as it once was for all of us. Then I will stay, and continue to invite my friends to do the same!

Simply put... FUCKING HELP US!!

Whitelisted private hive servers are really the best way to play.

if I could have one superpower, it would be slapping people over the internet.

DayZ is a mod of an already existing game. It can do nothing about the hackers.

The hackers exist because of the very trusting engine of ARMA 2, which DayZ is built on.

Did you forget that you never actually bought DayZ, but actually it's ARMA 2 you're playing?

Edit; That being said, wait for standalone, as it will fix the hacker problem.

(But there will always be hackers in every game.)

I wish I could teleport behind the hackers.

In real life... :(

Find a private hive with good admins.

Yup....

I finally took the time to get whitelisted on the BB servers today, didnt take very long and surprisingly painless...

And for the first time in a month, ive had a character alive and active for more than 20 minutes :rolleyes:

Getting onto a Whitelisted, Private hive, was the best decision Ive made since starting the mod B)

This is probably OP's best bet.

try this server http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/98174-uk10-zombie-world-80-slot-whitelist-applications-discussions-9943-hacker-free-looking-for-new-whitelisted-players-apply-now/page__st__3800

Play the servers where admins put in a lot of work (whitelist, website, forums, good host). The server you play is really important.

[PK Richie 507]

You're on the wrong servers :) try UK777 in my sig

We have active admins, regular backups to restore any scripter damage

Problem solved :)

Being a medic im tied to public hive for patients, in the past 5 days i've gone through 10 choppers, 3 pains of NvG's GPS's etc, 2 buses, 1 car, 3 ATV's, 2 boats 1 peddle bike.......you get use to it :P

[Kerbo 198]

Wait, people still play on the public hive? Why would you do that to yourselves? The last time I logged on to public within 3 minutes I came across a bandit and about 10 dead bodies around a spawned crate. I axed the bandit and logged off. I'll take my own private server, thank you very much. Sure it's lonely on my little server but at least I can survive without hackers ruining the experience.

[MissSweeney 105]

NZ Orcon servers are terrible. I was on last night and there were boxes full of hacked weapons and planes crashing around survivors every 2 minutes. It was literally raining planes. I had a hatchet and saw this bandit on an ATV and decided I wanted it, I started hacking at him and drove off in his ATV, and he didn't even care! Hacked vehicles were everywhere. So I let him have his ATV, found an SUV and went to the NWA running over all of the zombies down the airstrip.

I swear nobody listens... PLAY ON PRIVATE WHITELISTED SERVERS ONLY.

Could you repeat that? I wasn't listening.
