Mikeymike5531 1 Posted August 14, 2012 Dayz could be the greatest game ever, the thing that ruins the game is hackers. We have all ran into them, but it sucks because we play for hours and earn the gear with hard work. But for a hacker to just come by and kill you and now everything is gone is the worst. It happened 3 times, to me. It just ruins one of the greatest games I'm not quitting because of it but when someone wipes out all 4 clan members with in seconds all in one shot during night in a tree line taking cover, is completely bullshit, and completely destroys the game play.

Wyatt Johnson 9 Posted August 14, 2012 Smaller servers tend to have less hackers in them, even private hives too, but I don't play one private hives nor do I recommend them, due to admins being able to abuse as they please. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
madballster@gmail.com 23 Posted August 14, 2012 Lean to live with them while you wait for DayZ standalone. My hope is that eliminating hacking will be made priority after the intial standalone release. It is impossible to fix as a mod for Arma 2. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mike.emig@gmx.de 0 Posted August 14, 2012 Maybe he was that good.. I know hundreds of players that call someone hacker just because he got skill.. I killed 5 guys while lying on a field pretty close.. Wasnt in seconds but i did without any damage.. So killing 4 at night in treeline hiding isnt thaaat impossible ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

.Ender. 42 Posted August 14, 2012 i just got hit by one too...as prob did a bunch of other players all at once. i was doing well, same character all night, running across a field at night without a sole around, i end up 2 seconds later in the air, dropped into a field of zombies and other players all dying at the same time. like the 'hand of god' just picked everyone up, dropped us all in a single spot with zombies waiting to feast. died before even getting to see what was going on.some people just deserve to die a slow death. they're not even really HACKING. they're copying/pasting config files and pasting scripts they got from others. CHEATING is the proper word...dont give them credit for something anyone can do. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CHEATING is the proper word...dont give them credit for something anyone can do.yes, you know exactly how I feel it is extremely bullshit, To be honest were best off waiting for Warz, or standalone. Because playing this for countless hours can be fun but in the end you're just gonna lose your shit to hackers. And their is more and more each day all they have to do is watch a youtube video and bamm they're cheating. I hope that this does not continue in standalone because that would be extremely disappointing. Edited August 14, 2012 by Mikeymike5531 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fraggle (DayZ) 15720 Posted August 14, 2012 yes what he said, But does anyone know the release date or is there even a release date?Alpha will be released in the autumn at a heavily discounted price. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AzVirus 25 Posted August 14, 2012 I love all the "just wait" for the standalone, nothing is hack proof, the standalone will have them too. The only thing that will help is that when they have to buy a new CD that will at least limit the amount that are willing to hack. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fraggle (DayZ) 15720 Posted August 14, 2012 (edited) Great news! do you know where the target price range?no more than 25 Euros's, but heavily discounted if you get it during Alpha then the price will rise as the game progresses.

cindyanne1 41 Posted August 14, 2012 I was on a server last night that was being hacked like crazy. First, we were all teleported into... somewhere... and a message came up that said something like "Welcome to Thunderdome, weapons are in the crates, last one standing wins!" And I was of course shot and died.Logged back into the same server (why not, right? I mean in some crazy twisted way it was entertaining...) and the chat box to the bottom left started going nuts with spam messages in red. Just stupid stuff like "so and so makes himself the admin" and stuff like that. Then, all of a sudden, as I was trotting through some small town on the coast, poof... we were all dead. the entire server was killed in one blow. I could see the names of everyone in the chat box had died, all at the same time.I'm not sure why that happened; I justified it to myself by thinking it was the admin's way of getting back at the hackers that had caused the Thunderdome problem, but it probably wasn't it at all. It was probably just more hax.I... didn't log back on lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
