There has to be someway to counter being killed by a hacker.

[TheMove 2]

Something has to be done about being killed by a hacker or even hacked items. Something needs to be triggered when a hacker goes invisible and kills people or a hacked item is killing people. And the game should know you were killed by some kind of hack and it should spawn you somewhere else with your same gear or just kick you from the server.

I mean the best thing to do would just to lay the smack down on hackers and do everything possible to stop this. But If they can't there needs to be something else to help out the legit players.

It's so deflating to gear up go up north and really gear up sometimes and than get killed by a hacker. Dying is not a issue. Dying and losing everything in a split second is what makes this game great. It's dying by a invisible hacker or some other stupid hacker way which blows and makes me debate if I should even login and waste my time today so I can be hacker bait.

Arma II engine was build way too trustworthy. Nobody thought of a mod like DayZ. Now they got the problems. They will never fix this properly in Arma II. Live with the hackers or wait for standalone

Puff a tree and log out.....easiest way with dealing with a hacker

[Inception. 9443]

There is one way.

One way to rule them all...

Lather yourself in syrup and start humping the hacker.

A few things Im in the habit of doing:

- Play on private hives

- Play on the same servers regularly, add them as favorites and take notes (via Commander Launcher) if you see a hacker in there

- Check the score tally as soon as you enter a server, I regularly come across hackers who have score tallys in excess of 1500. You can get 400+ tally reasonably easy, so I leave if I see anything out of the ordinary like this. I like servers with low tallys where most people have only around 100, they just seem so clean from hackers.

- Watch to see if a player dies more than once within less than 40 seconds. Some hackers are script killing themselves if they don't get a good spawn ^^

- Random shock - Ive noticed on occasions I randomly get shock for no reason. Its more often than not followed by a teleport of some description. You can get shock randomly in game but I think most cases it seems to be a hacker.

- Play on night time servers. Hasn't always worked for me but Ive noticed slightly less hackers at night.

- Look for frequent killing "death notifications". I find more often then not when it gets pretty insane its usually a hacker going around (so watch the tally again). Sometimes its Cherno deathmatch, but sometimes its pretty obvious.

- Look for kicks for scripting (script restriction). This is actually a good thing if you see it. It means the server admin has enabled kicking players for scripting. ALOT of servers don't currently use this.

TBH checking the score tally before a game seems to be the biggest indicator for me. Alot of hackers are stat whores.

It's just an idea, but sometimes i feel like all legit players should organize and flood the cheater forums. I know it's a waste of our playing time and is no real solution, but we may feel better afterwards.

Rocket is working on a fix, it's called the Stand-alone, until then you either live with the hacks or play something else in the meantime, DayZ will still be here (bigger and better) when you come back. I promise not to eat all the beans while you're gone!

:beans:
