Time for a beer

[ben_c 140]

Well my fellow DayZ'ers,

After having a trip around the north of the map I was fortunate enough to find an FN FAL at a heli crash site and thought I'd put it to good use around Cherno. Specifically against those who inhabit 'sniper hill' and it's surroundings.

So, there I am stalking 'wascily wabbits' when I spot a compost heap armed with what appears to be a DMR. Obvioulsy I get a bit too close as he either saw or heard me approaching, he then fires off a shot to attract a metric shit ton of zombies who come running towards us. At this point I thought 'that's a good move, well played'.

But, then he alt-F4's. Lame. As. Fuck.

I go prone to avoid the crowd of infected having a rave up, only to have him relog pretty much on top of me and kill me. Once again, Lame. As. Fuck.

I don't care about gear, keeping it or loosing it it makes no odds to me. FN FAL, Lee Enfield, Makarov, who cares? It's just frustrating to have so many players adopting the alt-F4'ing, server hopping, re-log. I know many of you out there have had similiar experiences and like you I refuse to lower myself to such lame cheating. I will never alt-F4 to avoid death or to gain an (unfair) advantage other players because I don't play games (especially ones that give such rewarding experiences such as DayZ, although games like this have been rare over the past few years) to just cheat.

Yes, he lived and I died but the nature of that 'victory' is hollow.

It's time for a break, and to have a beer or two that are chilling nicely in my fridge. I'll be back obviously because DayZ deserves to be played and has given me some of the best gaming experiences I have had and I refuse to let those cheating, exploiting children ruin that.

So, cheers all! There's a cold one in the fridge for you.

Kill them before they can react. :D

I don't even understand how they can ghost that quickly. It takes me forever to log onto a server and to hop twice to ghost someone....you must have stayed in that one spot for like 10 minutes.

[ben_c 140]

Clearly I didn't. I don't care how he did what he did because I have no interest in doing it myself.

You admit to doing this 'tactic' then? No beer for you Raible, you can have the milk that's gone off instead.

Don't worry Ben, i am sure Rocket is well aware of these issues and they will obviously be dealt with in the Standalone, if not already in the mod... then these crybabies can't cheat anymore and either leave of become the cannonflodder they actually are ... just keep the fridge stocked and be in their for the long haul ;)

Agreed.

I'd rather Rocket put the time and resources into the standalone design rather than address issues in the mod which won't exist in the standalone. If that makes no sense then clearly I've had a cold one too many!

This post primarily made me want a beer.

When I read the title for the thread I thought it was a suggestion thread for adding beers into the game.

On a serious note, people who exploit mechanics shouldn`t really be playing, it is like allowing a basketball player to travel endlessly and still play, or allow that guy with the full auto paintball gun into the match set up only with semi-auto pistols. As much fun as you may be having, it ruins it for many others.
