Hacking

[jesquik 75]

So it's getting to the point where I need to take a break from the game because hackers are making it so unenjoyable. I am not sure whether there are servers with advanced enough code to combat the seemingly constant scripting, but if there are I would love to hear from some server admins.

I know that me and a bunch of friends are going to just take a break for a while. I wish this was more of a priority, because I'm sure that there are things that Rocket and others could do to help the admins solve these problems. Maybe it's unfixable... but I highly doubt it.

I feel like it is up to the community to combat this epidemic, because it is clear that all the posts in the 'cheaters' forums equates to ZERO progress. If I had a server I would love to take a crack at solving these issues :)

I think I'm going to do the same. The hacking is worse than it ever has been, so I'm considering taking a break from the game. I'm keeping an eye on the cheater's website (I don't think I should give out the name here, though I think everyone knows the one I'm speaking of) to see when the next wave of bans comes into effect, then I'll start playing again. Of course, they'll adapt, release new cheats, and we'll be back to where we are today...

You are correct that security is a constant struggle between those who wish to break a system and those trying to keep it together. There are a few sites that are easily googled, so I don't know why you can get banned for listing them, but you did the right thing by not explicitly stating the sites. I also have looked at them and realized that sinking 10+ hours per week into a game that is focusing on the small stuff is just not going to work for me. I'll wait until duping/cheating/disconnecting is fixed, servers are wiped, and then I'll give it another go.

I'm honestly not interested in another 'powers' based game. I like games that rely on your skills, and only your skills, to get things done.

I expect there will be more and more until the issue is dealt with.

You make it sound like you haven't seen any posts dealing with this matter.

Do I? Does it matter? Are we going to address the content of posts or are we going to discuss the context?

You make it sounds like you don't care about hacking.

So you think making threads here instead of just reporting the issues will somehow fix the problem?

Oh, does it bother you that the forum is full of posts about hacking? It doesn't bother me. This is the biggest problem DayZ is facing, and nothing else really matters at the moment. Can you honestly say that there is anything more important to discuss? Anything more worthy of the developers' attention?
