Big Red Husker 0 Posted August 11, 2012 i just purchased Arma and Arma operation arrowhead on saturday. have never played either one, but I mainly got it for dayz after hearing about it.I have perhaps played 3 times, slowly learning the controls. trying to figure things out on my own. within 2 hours of playing everytime, i get randomly teleported to a bunch of people shooting, I have not even managed to find a gun yet. so i either die from gunshot wounds or succesfully runaway only to somehow get a broken leg or teleported into the sky. they only plus side I have seen is i saw someone get global banned by battle eye. 2 others get kicked and the whole room get kicked me included.how am I supposed to learn this game, when crap like this keeps happening. im really not trying to find spoilers about the game, or a online map. want to play this how it's meant to be played for a new player but as somebody who is very busy working. I don't have that much free time. but in order to save sometime im about ready to start looking for spoilers. i don't want to as i enjoy the scavenging aspect of the game, but i can' only restart so many times with the few hours i have per day Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Omerta23 11 Posted August 11, 2012 Battle-eye has done a good job lately banning a lot of the script kiddies, just hang in there for a while and stay away from extremely popular servers until you get a weapon since the scripters like to hang around in high pop servers.

Dakruza 2 Posted August 11, 2012 I just bought ARMA2 for 30 dollars for the sole reason of playing Dayz, and for almost 2 and a half hours Ive been in three different games and each one ends with being telported into the air and falling to ym death or teleported underwater to drown or somehow die from it. With over 1 million players and planning to become tis own game youd think devs would be on top of hacking. Really freaking pist I wasted my money for this trash now. Why should i even play Day Z????????????????? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
C0okieH 156 Posted August 11, 2012 I get on in the morning on servers around 7:00 AM THEY ARE EMPTY do that if you wanna learn and get gear. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SmashT 10907 Posted August 11, 2012 Should have done some research before purchasing, it can't be fixed until standalone which is a few months away and you will need to buy that itself 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A Friend 8 Posted August 11, 2012 First off learn the game by playing single player ARMA2 the game you bought and not learn in the mod that comes with it. You will thank me later.I disagree. I HATED learning Arma2, after playing DayZ, Arma2 becomes WAY more approachable. DayZ is a dumb-down mod. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big Red Husker 0 Posted August 11, 2012 just wondering are there any groups and or servers that like doing in character role playing. also how do you invite someone to your group?

Lumberjack (DayZ) 60 Posted August 11, 2012 You didnt buy Dayz moron you bought this whole other military simulation game called ARMA2 that came with a mod that is hugely successful.Way to jump on the let's scream it's an Alpha mod DUH! Band wagon.The fact is this is a really weak thing to say at this current stage, with such huge popularity and publicity among the PC gaming community that people ARE NOT buying Arma 2 they ARE buying Dayz that fact it's a free mod is a fact but not a very relevant one, over a million players I am willing to bet 95% parted with their cash to play DayZ. It's the same for me I bought Dayz not Arma2. But I can appreciate Dayz was built around Arma2 and is a free mod based around a trust engine mil sim so will have weaknesses against scripters.

Priceless 154 Posted August 11, 2012 (edited) I disagree. I HATED learning Arma2, after playing DayZ, Arma2 becomes WAY more approachable. DayZ is a dumb-down mod.Hes bitching about the hackers and not being able to learn the game because of them in ARMA2 there are no hackers they are all in Dayz its not about whats more approachable its about which version has less hackers to deal with please read OP before commenting.

Angryofficer 89 Posted August 11, 2012 How do people run into hackers so often?I've only had 2 and I've been playing since mid-may. 1, a jet spawned and took off nearly running me over, 2 the entire server died. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sadly the server crashed as he was about the make it fly :\There is no such thing as a good hacker experience, I,ve meet some more pleasant cheaters who have not killed me on site and have offered me all the shit I want, but probably when their meds wear off they'll be turning you into goats or thunder dooming the server.The brutal fact is, cheaters/hackers do not hack because they suck at a game most cheat/hack to degrade the experience for us all, they get immense satisfaction from trolling the community I guarantee that most cheaters/hackers are here registered, post and read all our comments, they feed off us. It's one of the reasons I,ll never vent my anger in public because they love it so why let them win on the forums too! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FrankFisher 46 Posted August 11, 2012 I bought Arma 2 for Dayz, thus i wasted 30 dollars for Dayz. Never said i purchased Dayz. I am aware it is a free mod.Well thats your own fault, besides its not even a waste, have you even tried playing ARMA by its self? Its actually quite fun. Also to your original post its hard to get on top of the hackers because 1 million people play DayZ! The ARMA engine wasn't meant for a zombie survival plus its only a MOD, its not going to be the securest thing on the earth when so many people play it.

bogulez 11 Posted August 11, 2012 Play off peak times and go on servers with 5-10 players, this should mean less hacking. Stay out of Cherno, stary sobor and elektro and u should be able to really gain some experience. Also play on night servers until u can be stealthy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Osaka (DayZ) 32 Posted August 11, 2012 I had NO hackers yet. I've been playing for about 2 weeks now and died about 3 times.Maybe it's just bad luck you guys seem to have? I play on EU servers because of the favourable pingtimes, but I read a lot of agony here about people being hacked constantly. WTF is up with that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
