goroskob 48 Posted January 30, 2014 If so, remembering how you had been playing before you died and created a new character is also cheat, because your character can't remember his bygone life. You must erase your memory before playing again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WierdBeard 18 Posted January 30, 2014 SOOOOO many cheaters crying about not cheating in this thread. A sin is a sin and TS ain't real life in the zombie apocalypse. All this crying about game breaking exploits, and yet you can jabber with someone who JUST DIED! Witchcraft! Unclean! False adherents to our Lord Dean! Drive them from the temple and take their language from them that they might groan as the bunnies do! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
erkkiqaz 4 Posted January 30, 2014 (edited) the core of the problem is dayz being an anti-game. it is not supposed to be fun in a way that traditional games are. people shouldnt buy dayz if they dont like this. but they do it anyway and use hacks and cheats to make it more enjoyable for theirselves while ruining the game for everybody else who wants to play dayz the way its meant to be played. Why arent the faggots just sticking to COD? Maybe because dayz has a bigger map. maybe other reasons. Edited January 30, 2014 by orlok casual homophobia is NOT tolerated.

doctorbadsign 645 Posted January 30, 2014 No one is ever going to stop using 3rd party software unless the in-game system is better/more advantageous. What are people's suggestions for giving in game VOIP an advantage over 3rd party software? I understand why people don't like 3rd party chat programs, but you need to be realistic about things. There are huge advantages to using them, whilst there are huge disadvantages to using the direct chat in the game. If the disadvantage is not addressed there is zero chance that this perceived problem will go away. Ergo the people moaning about it need to have something more constructive to offer because saying "it's cheating" and generally being inflammatory is not going to get anything changed.

Sinphaltimus 262 Posted January 30, 2014 I am a bit between both worlds with this topic. I think that it gets an advantage over people, but I enjoy using it and speaking to friends. I think a simple way to even it out would be that direct communication is permanently on. This means that everyone can hear everything you are saying. Might be a bit annoying but it will stop the people 'ambushing' you.I've said it before I'll say it again. Stupid idea. That's an invasion of privacy. What about the fact that you could pick up personal conversations that are not in game chatter from people's homes over a public network. What about if someone gets a phone call during game from a doctor and have to give very personal private info over the phone? Yes, people multitask and can take a phone call and play at the same time, you really think always on is a good idea? I can't believe how little anyone thinks things through with such ludicrous ideas. It's a game, get over it. You can't seriously consider this amount of realism is acceptable over that amount of realism despite any dis/advantages, it's stupid.This thread is fielm of trolls, especially the OP. I'm beside myself that it's still going. I for one will ignore it from now on.Get over it people.this is madness. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ghostflux 100 Posted January 30, 2014 This thread just makes me facepalm. No matter how much you try to eliminate external factors, fact is that they are always going to be influencing the meta-game. Calling it a cheat is much like saying that you don't grasp the concept of this being a game in contrast to reality. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
janol 65 Posted January 30, 2014 Am I the only one who gets the rather unhappy feeling that quite many pro-VOIP guys are just spamming this thread with comments with no content or argument at all, belittling if not outstraight disrespecting the opinions of others? Some courtesy in the midst of disagreement would be much appreciated, and it will get point through so much better. Also, please remember that neither OP nor most of us on the other side of this exchange have been demanding any implementation of actual restriction on third party communication. My bet is just that once people start to realize that this a non grata thing, they will cut down the practice, and move to use in-game communication. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AngelEyes_666 13 Posted January 30, 2014 (edited) Its also cheating that I am invincible and I just run back to loot my corpse. Why not just one life and thats it? If you die, DayZ uninstalls. Lets see how much you sweat running through cherno then! Come on OP, no way to prevent this. Its the way the world is. To remove meta, you would have to erase your memory or your concept of reality. Videogames are meta. Edited January 30, 2014 by AngelEyes_666 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eddie Keeper 1 Posted April 10, 2014 I know this is an older post, but VOIP is no different than ghosting. Coordinating meet ups is great, playing with a team is fine, but watch the videos of people using it and tell me how a dead or unconcious person telling their friends where an attacker is is any different than ghosting? You can't. In fact, I think an unconcious or dead person on a team giving away positions is worse than ghosting, because it's more immediate information, ghosters while they are still cheaters have to reload and are vulnerable as well as having targets that may have moved.It also seems exactly like a hacker that can use some ESP hack to see where people on the map are. What pisses me off is hypocrisy. The people that complain about someone ghosting or combat logging in video's and in play are at the same time giving away an opponent's location on teamspeak or skype or whatever and never understand that they are doing the exact same thing.Don't think you're a good or cool player for killing some other individual or group when you are basically using accepted hacking(VOIP).
