Hacker on ZA4/ZA3

[thej (DayZ) 1]

last night, monday july 30th at about 7:30 PM (GMT+2, server time)

there was a hacker going by the name of "-HB-" on the ZA4 and ZA3 servers.

link to ZA4 server http://www.gametrack....80.200.6:2302/

He repeatedly teleported players to him and killed them for gear, myself included ( i was teleported to the hills just north of Electro).

A bit later on a couple of us managed to kill him (in Electro) and looked at his gear, the guy had silenced M4, gillie suit, and 6 cans of mountain dew.

I am not sure if it is the same player or not, but now somebody has built walls on the NW runway, with tents inside them, which is obviously also a case of hacking.

Me, and most other players who spent money and time on Arma II and DayZ, would really appreciate it if some action could be taken, as it kills all motivation and excitement experienced while trying to enjoy the game.

Well... I'm sorry to hear that, but there's not much that DayZ team can do right now. As Rocket said already - it's extremely hard to fight cheaters and hackers at current state of things. Until DayZ get's it's own engine they can hardly do smth, and current engine does not allow them protecting their mod. Also - it's Alpha version.. I don't say cheating and hacking is normal, but you probably have to live with that and choose servers carefully not to be trapped by hackers.

There will always be people, who fuck up fun of others, the spirit of the game and spoil the community thinking they are smarter than the rest just by using hacking programms. 90% of those don't even understand how hacks work.. so.. they are only smart enough to click the certain buttons, following a pretty detailed instruction =D

Just smile because those weak cheap cowards had to use all legit and unlegit means to defeat you, and that's the only way those pussies can play ;)

I dont actually care if i get killed or not, its not about principles or any BS like that. its about the fact that they are ruining a game which i enjoy,

I think most people would agree that moral and interest fall down the toilet after a hack attack on a server.

As far as i see it, ive paid for Arma II and for combined ops. and Bohemia has contracted battleeye innovations to stop hackers in thier games, which DayZ is a mod of,

i personally feel that there has to be some sort of quality assurance there.

The fact is that huge companies( for example in the automotive industry) very often spend millions on doing surveys to determine customer satisfaction,

since they realize that sales can be directly correlated to said customer satisfaction.

It doesnt matter how many hours are spent on making a fun and bug free game, it could be the best game in the world and (most) people wont play it if there are constantly hackers.
