artard247 5 Posted July 31, 2012 Now, don't jump to conclusions, this game is one of the best post-apocalyptic survival horror games I have ever played, but I have noticed some unbearable flaws. The most horrible, disgusting, abominable, putrid, born-mentally-challenged thing is: hackers. They are the worst, and I hope everyone that has encountered them agrees. I have had my fair share of run-ins with them, but today, I seriously felt like never playing DayZ again. Here is the story:Helicopters are now back in the game, and my friend and I were both looking for one. With the greatest stroke of luck ever, we actually locate the only Huey on the server(according to dayzwiki.com). But, we couldn't just get up and fly it immediately, oh, no...no...no. We have to get Engine Parts, a Main Rotor Assembly Parts, Scrap Metal, Windscreen Glass, and, last but not least, a GAZILLION Jerry Canisters. Now, I haven't told you this already, but this is a REAL helicopter. It isn't a mirage, or hacked into the game. So, we need to look around for a few parts, no big deal. We start hiking and check some factories. Time goes by and we almost have all the parts, when out of nowhere, some random dude shows up. He types into Direct Communication, "Is anyone there? I am friendly." When he sent this message out I was away from my PC, but when I got back I immediately tell my friend and we get the hell out of there and head to the coast. We arrive at a factory on the coastline, when all of a sudden, this random guy shows up again. He says, "friendly...friendly", but we proceed to shoot his ass. He dies and we check out his lootz. This is when we realize he is a hacker. We rush to the beach and get on our boat, when out of nowhere, this guy appears behind us, equips a M16A2, and shoots us. Fucking. Un-believable. The guy was a hacker, obviously.I do not know if anyone has noticed, but, hackers are getting more and more common. They are the vermin of this game and need to be removed. If there is anything that needs fixin', this is it. So, rocket, I am not trying to put down the best thing since sliced bread (this game), but if you see this, hackers are the reason why DayZ sucks.

Boomstick (DayZ) 41 Posted July 31, 2012 The title is alittle misleading.Hackers are a problem but it doesn't make the game suck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Riemer 23 Posted July 31, 2012 So you think tracking and banning hackers is easy and it's only a matter of those in charge bumbling about with a stick up their asses? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fraggle (DayZ) 15720 Posted July 31, 2012 Hackers is an issue for Bohemia and Battleye to deal with not the DayZ team. So yes, your thread title is both wrong and misleading. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MarkTheBandit 17 Posted July 31, 2012 It's actually very easy.If it's so easy why don't you come save the day then with some magical hacker fix? I'm sure you could make a quick buck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gooseguy312 6 Posted July 31, 2012 Their are a million other bugs/glitches that ruin the entire point of this game - survival. When the stupidest things in the world can kill you after all the time you put in to survive, the game becomes more a failure then a success.They are easy quick fixes but the reality of it is, their are no skilled game designers working on this mod.

DrunkPunk 159 Posted August 2, 2012 It's actually very easy.being someone who has done specifically this for a living in the gaming industry, no it's really, really not. it takes creating a dedicated position and a lot of work to get to the point where you can do it efficiently.
