Why DayZ is both the BEST and the WORST game in recent time.

Having vehicles is like putting a target on yourself. Same with pitching tents. I found when I stopped pitching tents and using vehicles the consistency with getting killed with hackers dropped dramatically. I kind of caught on after 3 nights in a row of pitching a tent and then proceeding to get killed by a teleporting godmode hacker that they don't like them. Alot of hackers don't like hoarders and tbh, neither do I.

Well you're right as well, but setting up camp is what a lot of people like to do. Personally, other than setting up a tent to stash some gear I can't hold at the moment, I don't hoard at all. I mean obviously I want a good loadout, but I'm not on a quest to get every vehicle in the game and park them in a vault. The main reasons I was trying to get a vehicle was to just get around quicker and to use as bait, which is something I've been trying to do for a few days.

You're completely right, I just can't stand the mod as it is now. If I do what I feel like everyone else is starting to do, I'll be sitting in some building/ on top of some mountain shooting scrubs/newly spawned players over and over, which I feel isn't fair. I cant tell you how many times I've spawn in Electro just to be shot by a guy on the hill with a sniper rifle. I mean to each his own... but in EVERY server in the entire game??? sounds a bit boring...

I can dig it bro; it's why I've gone from playing 5 hours or so a day, to as many every few days etc.

If it wweren't for all the hackers I'd play more but as it stands I've fairly well tested the features on offer with relative comfort and like what I've seen, no need to burn myself out due to all the grief. When the next patch comes out I'll bet that most players, hackers included will be testing all the new features and I'll put a fair few hours in until people go back to full time pain in the ass hackers again.

Regardless of all of this I, and I'd say most informed players will not be discouraged and eagerly await the final product were all the best of what we have played and seen so far can be enjoyed without the hassle.
