pmjkerr 76 Posted July 19, 2012 Okay, please dont flame as Im sure there are a lot of mention of this on the forums already.DayZ is overrun. Not by zombies, and not by bandits but by hackers - the cancer of the gaming community.I have been playing this mod since mid-May and have enjoyed it thoroughly the whole time. Recently (in the last week or so) there has been a dramatic increase in the amount of hackers in just about every server I've visited. From spawned in weapons/equipment/helis to wallhacks and aimbots, the shit is just everywhere. The last five nights Ive come across them all, and in 90% of the populated servers Ive played on.This problem needs to be addressed, first and foremost. Put modding on hold and deal with the filthy scum ruining your masterpiece, Rocket.Sincerely,A loyal fan. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ninami 37 Posted July 19, 2012 Yeah I kinda posted the exact same post haha. It's horrible atm and I'm sick of it. I'm not even playing until they fix this. No way I'm playing hours to find gear only to die by hackers... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

krtshv 362 Posted July 19, 2012 There is no such thing as a hacker proof game.The only thing you can do, is investigate said hackers ASAP, but no devs / server owners seem to care.As soon as a hacker gets a global ban for his $40 game, he'll think twice before trying it again.

DZR_Mikhail 2424 Posted July 19, 2012 I can guarantee Rocket is aware and is disturbed too. As far as I know they're finishing off some major stability\login issues and then address hacking and further modding. Let's wait guys, we must (cough) survive this shitty period.

sambody 44 Posted July 19, 2012 Just need to deal with the situation, rocket can only ban the hackers atm, if someone even reports them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Filmmaster 35 Posted July 19, 2012 I don't see the fun in hacking. That just sucks the "survival" put of it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

krtshv 362 Posted July 19, 2012 A lot of server owners due care, their hands are just tied.There's nothing in the DayZ server rules that won't let server admins ban hackers.We just don't want cases like people like Jiggaman that banned everyone online to get 1 hacker.

☣BioHaze☣ 7337 Posted July 19, 2012 I haven't seen a hacker yet either, but I'm 1,000% sure they are there.I'm trying to stay away from other players as much as possible anyway, and live like a mountain man. Too much KOS/Banditry/hacking paranoia in the air for this lone wolf. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hairclamp 2 Posted July 19, 2012 DayZ is only in alpha, things are going to get fixed and changed in time, we're just gonna have to deal with it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HalloweeNGT 23 Posted July 19, 2012 In his current state, any server that has more than 10/15 players online has most probably a cheater online, was sad to see yesterday one of most followeds dayz streamers spawning choppers,cars,guns, etc... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phatd00d 1 Posted July 19, 2012 Banning does nothing since the game is down to $12 at online stores. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
edonovan 15 Posted July 19, 2012 There is no such thing as a hacker proof game.But there is such a thing as researching known hacks and resolving them. The trick is actually resolving the issues and not just slapping bandaids on them.I'm against banning hackers, as it is a temporary solution and does nothing to thwart the hacks themselves.What I support, however, is a game that detects hacks and instead of kicking causes bugs and glitches which lead to crashes. This also makes it tougher to develop hacks, as there is no definitive breakpoint for testing if they are detected or not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pumbas 1 Posted July 19, 2012 Yeah I didnt know there were that much of hackers I hope they find a way to ban them because this game is way too awesome to have hackers on it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pmjkerr 76 Posted July 19, 2012 There is no such thing as a hacker proof game.You're right, but when you've got hackers in near on every server, it's a stark wake up call.Just need to deal with the situation, rocket can only ban the hackers atm, if someone even reports them.Thats part of the problem. How do I report the douchebag that shot me and my 7 buddies out of the bus within the space of a minute whilst driving full speed through Cherno. How do I even find out his or her fucking name?In his current state, any server that has more than 10/15 players online has most probably a cheater online, was sad to see yesterday one of most followeds dayz streamers spawning choppers,cars,guns, etc...And if this is the direction DayZ continues to head in, I want no part of it. Harsher punishments and more power needs to be given to server admins to begin with. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
