I think the hack that aggravates me the most is the locater hack. Why is this?

Like most groups you try and accumulate supplies and get a vehicle, generally due to the size of the map. We have found that whenever we find a vehicle it is gone within a short time of logging off. I know you could attribute it going missing to a degree of bad luck, but this has happened for every vehicle we have got.

I don't think we've managed to hold onto one for more than 6 hours. Given that you store your spare equipment and meds in them it's bloody annoying.

A prime example would be yesterday morning. We took a pick-up truck to the top of the map and hid it in the woods and logged out. One of the lads who works near his house went home at lunchtime, logged in and the truck was gone along with the tent equipment we'd stored 4 squares away.

So aside from sheer bad luck, we know for a fact there is a hack which shows you vehicles and tents on the map - if they could fix or detect people using that, it would be a boon.

Thanks for listening, you may now abuse me.

Yeah this particular hack of all the hacks pretty much ruin the entire point of DayZ.

Doesn't really affect Scavenge and Slay, but Survive goes right out the window.

So much for Post Apocalyptic Survival Simulation. If you can't hide from the all seeing eye, I feel that Rocket should at least change the default Arma 2 "Surrender" option to a DayZ version which allows us to pull out our own side arm and blow our characters brains out.

Yeah, at least you can DC out of Thunderdome if you're quick enough.

Hiding anything up north is a terrible idea. Many people look up there by default for camps/vehicles. My group found two seperate camps 10 minutes away from eachother on the same server, with nearly all the vehicles except the one we had.

You must be new around here. Let me educate you.

You can't hide anything....anywhere. There are hacks available that can see every tent, vehicle and player on the server.

Not exactly a case of LOL YOU PUT YOUR CAMPS IN THE WRONG PLACE NUB.

This hack/script is probably the second-most annoying. (The most being all the hacks/scripts that kill you instantly.)

Things are bad, at this point.

I once survived thunderdome and made an epic escape in the chopper with stacked gear

I havn't had a problem with my camp

however it's under a very bushy tree

Also i never heard of the hack you are talking of until i read the thread. I'm aware of the script that allows one to see everyone on a server. But that's it.

People who use scripts wont be bothered to teleport to your camp to steal your vehicels

when they can spawn a vehical at their feet

People who pay for low quality hacks which dont have BE injections rely on using Item/camp esp to find your vehicels

Try to keep your tents/vehicals at a 500M distance as people will look for clusters of tents/vehicels located together

I think you missed the point, OP is saying you will have your camp found where ever it is by a hacker which is true. The saddest thing is the best place to hide a camp is on a continuously low population server to reduce the chance of scripty finding it.

Unfortunately right now the best way to play DayZ as intended is to play it offline entirely.

This of course required me to script in AI Survivors into the scenario and it also requires me to manage vehicle spawns locally (Still working out how to randomly assign spawns for them on a local copy), but otherwise, its the only way to enjoy the game.

Unfortunately I also have to enjoy it alone, in this situation, which sort of sucks goat balls in general.

But at least I can guarantee I'm playing it as intended.

Back into the game after work - they've had 11 hours and they've found both our vehicles (motorbike and truck) across a 225km map...

OFC a helicopter might make it easier.

I lost all my vehicles and tents but I never really suspected hackers. Figured since they spawn weapons and vehicles by themselves there wouldn't be much purpose.
