bazbake 456 Posted August 20, 2012 I support OP 100%. This mod is in a state of perma-incompletion as it's intended state can never be reached - hence the locked down standalone on the way. So at this point all bets are off, maybe people should stop seeing these unfixable exploits as a bad thing and should start treating them as features. Embrace ghosting, pretend it's a built-in game mechanic allowing you to teleport via other dimensions, pretend it's Portal, whatever. This mod is afterall a sandbox. I thought they idea of a sandbox was that there were no rules and you play with the mechanics which are available? Well let them use the mechanics to have fun, they will anyway no matter how much you QQ.Let me translate that for the audience. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lord Fartus 61 Posted August 20, 2012 People bitch about snipers, then bitch when justice is served.If they're dumb enough to camp in the most obvious sniping location in Cherno, they deserve this.The lowest of the low post on this forum. Just spend roughly thirty seconds and you'll find the next perpetrators of school shootings instantly and yes, anyone who gets mad about this is most likely guilty of spawn camping like a bitch.

Obscura (DayZ) 33 Posted August 20, 2012 and the real difference is ?? sfa. The only difference is in one of your situations he is engaged in a battle..in the other he is not..but the exploiting remains the same.When people think what they are doing is cool they call it using the game mechanics to try and make out as if what they doing is fair, or ..i am only doing it because the snipers are lame. Take them out fair and square or be lame and hop to your piss easy advantage..it really is an easy choice.Its lame. Lame ass hoppers for whatever reason.There is no technically speakingIf he joined a high pop server , took down the sniper legit and then got his gear..all fair. Server hopping whichever you try and turn the story is the same as hopping in a fight...but each to their own.Well you know how rocket says, play the game how you want. I could definitely see why he would do it, he may have a hectic RL schedule and not have the time or desire to really earn items legit. If you think it makes him a bad human being or something, just remember that your character isnt even intended represent your as a person. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

astriantis@hotmail.com 25 Posted August 20, 2012 I actually don't mind what the OP does, as long as he only hops those snipers in cherno.9 out of 10 of those snipers are usually hackers lolI don't think a full geared legit player would go risk his gear for some dumb sniping on those buildings.Legit snipers are much smarter, play in team and don't get rolled by such a cheap mechanic.

Hetstaine 10852 Posted August 20, 2012 Well you know how rocket says, play the game how you want. I could definitely see why he would do it, he may have a hectic RL schedule and not have the time or desire to really earn items legit. If you think it makes him a bad human being or something, just remember that your character isnt even intended represent your as a person. Bad person ? we will never know..but what you do be it online in a game or here on forum is a small reflection of yourself. Not saying that just because you axe someone a question in game means you are a serial killer, thats ridiculous..but your play style definitely shows off a side of you. I know i wouldn't be running around popping heads off every fucker i saw because i thought they were going to kill me the instant they turned around. Most would be a blubbering mess when confronted in a live or die situation ( cue the real men who refute this and would go all rambo in 2 seconds ) Thats not my style of play because it just is not me, sure if someone is a real threat or has shot at me then i am attempting to take them down. But just sitting around popping people? meh..can do that in every other game that has ever come out. There is always some sort of exploit whatever the game..and i suppose it is up to however you game as to wether you choose to use it or not. For myself and the people i game with we choose not too as we consider it bad form. If you constantly find yourself in a situation where you are dying the same way (hackers aside) then i think you need to look at your tactics , not try and find the loopholes. If i was going to server hop to get gear or to kill snipers or whatever else..then to me the game is not worth my time, i am just cheating myself out of the game because i cannot find the time or be bothered to come up with a better plan of attack/ defense. If i get outplayed well.. unlucky, look at what i did wrong and how i could have done it better. If ,as you say, they dont have the time or desire to get things legit then they aren't here for long anway so its a moot point as they move onto the 'next big thing' very quickly. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flimsypremise 94 Posted August 20, 2012 (edited) This guy is a fucking hero. People calling him a cheater are delusional. In game where hackers are teleporting miles into the sky, you have the nerve to badmouth the one dude who is actually doing something useful. Find something else to wring your hands about, there's plenty about this game that qualifies.The people who snipe new players in the big cities are scumbags. They deserve what this guys does to them.

A Bush killed me 189 Posted August 20, 2012 meh i cant stand ppl who server hope just to look for kills in elektro and cherno. Just as bad a scripters if you ask me. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Obscura (DayZ) 33 Posted August 20, 2012 No crying, its a game dude. just watching someone trying to explain to people why they use exploits as their tactical gameplay. If i die to a sniper then it is only me that has put myself into that position, not the snipers, not the hackers, not the vets or the noobs. Keep on shoveling man, your digging a nice hole :)You remind a bit of my mate, he rages when he gets sniped..i laugh and tell him to get over it and what the fuck are you doing running around for ten minutes in the coastal areas anyway ? I dont snipe but i aint got anything against them. Last time i sniped we where shooting some zeds of some poor guy running around Elektro getting his zed train on, we were running up to Skalisty from Balota, stopped on the outskirts of Elektro, grabbed some beans then started popping zeds offa this guy. We were then sniped at by someone above us, we legged it and left the dude to his fate. My mate half loses his shit because we are gtting sniped at. I tell him to get over it. His solution always..fuck it lets snipe the snipers the fucking dogs! ..yawn. I run and he ends up following so we get the fuck away from the coast.Snipers gonna snipe..sploiters gonna sploit.It's not about it being fucking "tactical" , it's because it's time consuming.

kingssooted@gmail.com 16 Posted August 20, 2012 (edited) Umm nothing has stopped players from doing this in the latest patch, you only get spawned on the coast if you exit out on the loading screen (since you are put in debug forest while loading)Are you serious? I wonder if that's how I've been dying before I load in. Because twice i've died on loadin even tho I was in a safe spot in a forest with my buddy, who spawned in ok instead. Then I end up on the coast in my ghillie suit still with no items, everything's gone, I still have my previous kills and headshots, and humanity murders etc. I wonder if someone who was in the debug forest shot me before I loaded into the correct area I was in. If this is happening to others maybe we should post something in the bug reports section.That would also explain why my friend couldn't find my body when he was 5 feet away from where i would of loaded in, the body must be in the debug forest. Where whoever killed me was (most likely a hacker and the weird thing is 2 minutes later this player was banned for having script #47, maybe a coincidence or maybe it's not).

Learn 2 play n00b.Yeah, like all the snipers who somehow seem to have found AS50s and thermal vision and gillies. Funny how that works.Anyone killing these fuckers is a hero to me and most of the other people playing DayZ.[edit] I'll be doing this too now, so I hope none of you liked sniping unimpeded in cherno too much.

Typheran 20 Posted August 20, 2012 Server hopping isn't even a speck in the current state of Dayz. Script kiddies and terrain exploiters are ruining the game. I don't give a crap if someone server hops after being killed by a lowskill hacker. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DeafGuardian 0 Posted August 20, 2012 Take them out fair and square or be lame and hop to your piss easy advantage..it really is an easy choice.Being up against a fully geared sniper sure is a fair fight, being a fresh spawn. Tbh i also took my DMR a few times and just sniped people inside Elektro. Most people did this at least once i guess. And for the players in Elektro it hardly was a fair fight. At all times we were at least 400m away from them. Even if they knew from where me and my 2 Mates were shooting at them, how could they fight back with the weapons they'd find there? At some point a Group of players did what was their only chance to kill us. They serverhopped onto the sniperhill and next to these Eletricitypole-stuff-thingies and put a few Makarov Bullets inside each of our heads. And we deserved that. So does every other Player who snipes fresh spawns in Elektro and/or Cherno.Serverhopping when enganged in a "real" fight, that's lame. But killing sniperdicks, that's actually ok. I never complained when someone did this to me. Neither did my mates. Neither should anyone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
