Well it happens

[GuardianCore 0]

I have to admit to the moderators of Dayz, this game is fantastic with what it can hold with limitless possiblites although flawed to a extent (meaning they can always make it better! its good but can always add more content as it progresses) as it shows what the game can truly do and the outcomes you survive day by day within this zombiefied game. The challenge is there, and you really have to use your wits and trust with pretty much every decision you can come up with. With that being said, the game has many fun and interesting aspects that may be a mod, but it's something more. It's a fun filled adventure where you start off on a island with barley and resources to your person and your goal is to find food, water or soda, and take the environment before you and survive this curel world. Take arm with other players and defend your rights to live as you fight the hord! Zombies just about everywhere and without a silencer, your very much screwed. One gun shot realistically shows how many zombies know what your doing without a silencer, and with bandits ready to kill you on site, it just shows how F%@$ up humans really are! Arnt you just beautiful? Anyways, With all this said, this game dosnt sound bad, does it? Heck no, its probably one of the most fun type games I'll ever play. Did I mention when you die you start off from fresh and new and lose everything 8 D so intense!

Of course then there's ya know...

So playing the game for almost a week now, I got use to using a internet map trying to figure out locations. I spent time learning the inn and outs, where I spawn when I die. Thanks to the endless waves of multi purpose rotting brain num nuts that stroll all over the map wanting a piece of you. And so with 4 days in I get with a group of people, get some pretty cool gear, learn to loot better, get lots of rare and hard to come by amo for a gun that's silenced. And Im like, wow, Im doing fairly well in this game, I work well with people and Im having a ton of fun! Yay Dayz. I even get a map and learn to use it! Of course there were times when bandits did try to kill me and my friends, no real complaint about that, like I said, wonderfully F%^$! stupid humans (Youd think that banning together would be more common other then see and shoot on spot, zombies are more important in terms of killing and avoiding them and living if you ask me. Can't forget about living) But this is a game so I wont tangent on that subject for much longer. Getting to the point, the way I died was very cruel. No I wasn't sniped for being an idiot and standing up running past Cherno or Starly while some guy up high on a hill or a complex structure blasted my brains out. No I didn't die from someone getting every zombies attention while doing a military base run. And I didn't die because I tried to do a epic jump and broke all my bones in my body. I died by what is called a "ghost"

I was rippled with a endless stream of bullets out of no where, with no one near me, non of my friends saw this person. People were being teleported and pretty much everyone of the server died instantly. All the vehicles were blown to pieces, and the server was crashed. By nothing more then our wonderful universal all stars of unknown reeking havick on countless worlds and countless machinery at there disposle to get access through technology and abusing it. Hackers.

I died because some hacker jumped into the sever and basically started to blow people up, without warning, without notice of any kind, without mercy. I was on a hill going towards Electro, but was planning to get more people before we looted, as we just came back from Starly. Yes, there are risks when entering a area that is prown to countless bandits ready to eat you worse then the zombies with there bullets bracketing your face off with there keen eyesight waiting to take your blood with there trigger, but that makes it more challenging. What has gotten me to be fed up is, why should I play this game.

Why should I waste my time and patient and my own spent time to play this game. Did I mention that this is my time to play the game? I'm pretty sure many will agree. Sure Id be super pissed if a bandit killed me because I wasn't being earful to where they were, but what I cannot stand is a hacker that does all of this in one or two command promps using a program to lay waste to EVERYONE in the server. With that said, Im taking a halt on Dayz, a wonderful experience that staggered in the end. Even if the mod is free and is available for everyone, let me rephrase if I haven't already. Dayz is a very FUN and EXCITING GAME! but I cannot play a game where your death means you lose everything, and I die from a hacker. I can report the hacker right now? but honestly, what's the point, there will be more, and more and every time I play this game, there's a hacker on the server. The only means I have to redeem myself is buying this hack mod and F^%@! waste every hacker I see using there own weapon. But, I have other things in mind other then to waste my time fighting a endless battle of incompetent two year old minds, then play the game to god mod, and killing a Guardian isnt smart btw sweet heart, if you killed me in game play terms, that would be cool, and I would probably learn from my mistakes, and well, get better! But I cant get better with hacks. Nope, I simply can't. Im more complex then you will ever understand, and yes, that was directed towards you because your probally readint this <3

So thank you Dayz team for making this wonderful moded game off of Arma 2 and Arma 2 Operation ArrowHead.(And the older version too, even though I never played them) You have truly inspired a well imerce experience by using a simple game and turning it into one of the coolest zombie games to date. My suggestion would be to get rid of whatever piece of garbage hacker prevention program your using and get something that will put whatever these hackers desgined back in there pants. Because I will certainly not play a game for 12 hours, get a bike, a decent gun, health and food supplys, a map, knife, fire starter, toolbox, blood packs, te(list goes on) and then die because I was blown up or teleported to my death. Not worth it.

will I ever come back? only time will tell.

/seconded

got the same thing and only ctrl+shift+esc - kill saved me today. (all were teleported to debug area.)

will not play again until some progress is made in this matter. (ghill + nvg + L86 + food/water/medicaments... what for when....¨)

The entire nature of this mod is intense. I personally still can't stop shaking when I see another survivor. Its exhilarating!

Will I ever come back? only time will tell.

Chrys, I personally hope you do because this mod is one of a kind.

I posted a similiar thread yesterday about some frustrations, but I had a beer or two, had a break and will start a new life in DayZ later today.

The hacking/scripting/cheating/exploiting is becoming more common place but the choice you have is to let those who have to cheat to win, or to have any satisfaction, ruin your time in DayZ?

Re-read your post, think of those experiences you had, can any other game/mod do that?

Grab a cold one, kick back for a few then come back. DayZ isn't perfect, the limit of the mod has it's flaws but starting on that beach is a whole new set of challanges.
