TheMove 2 Posted August 24, 2012 So my bro and I found our first helicopter and it was awesome. I flew us to the airfield and we camped for our gear and weapons all night and pulled a all nighter. After finally getting the weapons we wanted we went on a more populated server into our ussual spot at Electro church which we like to get geared and hold it down as long as we can. Its always a blast.Within 5 mins we both get slayed by a hacker and just die. Never getting to use our weapons. This was the last straw. And we are done with the game. Its a great game but the hacking is out of control.Were use to dying to hackers but to have it happen so fast without even getting to enjoy our 8 hours of work we put in is so deflating. If someone would of ran in and killed us thats not a problem and is part of the game. Just can't take it anymore. Even been playing on lower pop servers to avoid hackers but its still the same.

sausagekingofchicago 4711 Posted August 24, 2012 You knew there were hackers in this game right?Then why did you spend 8 hours loot farming? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
intensity (DayZ) 312 Posted August 24, 2012 LOL Epic fail. That's why you should invest in a tent full of your phat lewt. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SmashT 10907 Posted August 24, 2012 (edited) Why would you spend eight hours farming NW Airfield when you can get the same/better gear at Sniper hill in 20 minutes? Edited August 24, 2012 by smasht_AU 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mammoth (DayZ) 2 Posted August 24, 2012 Welcome to DayZ..... it has happened to us all........remember DO NOT get attached to your weapons or loot......you can get it back.....also this is an Alpha game and a mod, which makes it easy for hackers, 1 issue is you can change your name before every game, you never know whom killed you. I think there should be script telling you who killed you, that way if they hacked you can report their name.....it may help with proper banning of hackers...just a thought... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jukaga 271 Posted August 24, 2012 That's what you get for CAMPING.So scrubby.Loot farming is hard work and 100% legit way of playing. Ever tried to get enough stuff to repair a chopper? Didn't think so. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Inception. 9443 Posted August 24, 2012 8 hours of loot farming, HOLY SHIT Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OoCompanionCube 1 Posted August 24, 2012 It's happened to me and a load of other people, you just have to deal with it. But hopefully this won't happen nearly as much in the standalone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheMove 2 Posted August 25, 2012 8 hours of loot farming, HOLY SHITYou know thats how long it takes to get top guns in the game the legit way. 99% of good guns and NV are all hacked and just passed on from one player to another. I would never hack, its pointless. If I see a hacked weapon box I leave the server. Tents are useless. My bro and I have done this a few times. Stashing cars and top gear in a hidden tent. Only to find the server restarts and everything is gone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Post Hoc 30 Posted August 25, 2012 Hopefully the next patch will fix the tent issue. when it is fixed i suggest using tents. When you die just run back to your tents and *poof* your fully geared. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bjwimer 2 Posted August 25, 2012 8 hours of loot farming? Might as well get a job and make money. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
belesis 14 Posted August 25, 2012 Maybe we should all just become hackers and watch life expectancy go down to 2 min. (which is about the same amount of time I am alive in BF3). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sostronk 334 Posted August 25, 2012 Protip: Don't camp and don't loot farm. Hackers hate both and will target you more than others. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
irl-calibre 744 Posted August 25, 2012 meh.. at least it's pretty easy to get back to your corpse in Elektro and pick up your precious gear.. i's a real pain in the hole when it happens when you're way up north miles away.. clouds and silver linings & all t hat jazz.

Derpy_Hooves (DayZ) 4521 Posted August 25, 2012 Ouch 8 hours... and a chopper, tbh honest i think your off your head heading back to Elektro or a pop server for that matter, the risks just increase ten fold especially if you have JUST got the loot you were seeking, investing in a tent would have probably been the best idea, taking only what you need for a trolling mission to the coast, leaving the real flash stuff for a rainy day.Good on you for waiting so long and looting the legit way but 1/10 for the idea of pop server and Elektro... suicide!

Herr Robert 28 Posted August 25, 2012 I see what you mean. It's pretty pointless to invest much time into playing when hacking is so rampant.If you like I can give you coords to tents which contains some top loot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
