Today I have been legitimally global banned for cheating

[TheMachine 803]

Lol at all the butt hurt people. I just got killed by a hacker and honestly, while I'm a little upset, I'm not pissed. No point getting mad anymore. I knew why people hack but not sure why some take it to the extreme. Only hacks I could ever use would be to give me gear IF I died from a hacker. No fun going around killing people who don't stand a chance. But oh we'll. As u said just wait for the stand alone. :)

So hacking dipshits like you can ruin the standalone too because another player killed you and you think you've got some 'right' above the rest of us to get stuff easy?

[Ajvkorn 72]

It's not sympathy. It's just people not being butt Hurt. There is no solution to this game except for stand alone.

And I presume you're going to hack on that too if you die to another player and feel it 'unjust'?

You can clearly see who has read the post and who didn't, he never thunder domed or ruined anyone elses gameplay experience, He didn't start because he was getting owned, he started because of the the lack of content in the game and while I find that silly since this is an alpha and now he cant play this game until the standalone, I can see why he did it. he wanted to have the fun that the game did not provide.

I can't believe anyone has sympathy for someone who got owned on DayZ then decided to become part of the problem instead of part of the solution.

This 'If you can't beat em, join em' attitude gave rise to the worst atrocities in human history, you're all weaklings.

Truthfully I don't mind some of the hackers. In fact, sometimes I think they make them game interesting. For example, MY VERY FIRST time in game I spawned on shore and I hadn't even walked 100M and a hacker teleported right in front of me. Really it was just like "poof" he's there. It definitely caught me off guard, but I couldn't do anything about it I had no weapons. Like a second later he started blaring that one Hey What's Going On song and just stared at me while I stared back. He literally just stood there staring at me, as I started back, for a good 10 seconds, and honestly I had no idea what was happening. Then just as we had first met he was gone within an eyeblink...it was one of the funniest things I have ever experienced on this game so far.

Anyways, my point is not all hackers are bad (and you can quote me on that idc..take it home with you) Sure there are some that will instantly wipe out the server, even though they damn sure do not need any gear and are just killing everyone to ruin their time. However, based off OP he sounded like a relative harmless hacker and overall a nice fellow. I mean sure if he was one of those guys that instant kills people for no reason, then I would be up and arms with the rest of you. But he seemed relatively harmless and had probably had little impact on any other players.

Those were just excuses, I can guarantee you anyone who's immature enough to try to justify their hacking also killed other players.

Probably in god mode.

These people are of the opinion that no one has the 'right' to attack them, they don't feel that's how the game should work so they hack.

Hackers are just carebears that died too much.

Hah it's funny my first few days were very similar to yours. In games like this I had always understood teammates > gear. They would make the experience of any game a lot more charming and just generally more fun. So naturally I tried to find teammates. NO matter what I did...from helping completely new players get above average gear and showing them the ropes to just running in Elektro trying to find a friendly person, I would get shot.

I came to terms with the rather barbaric behavior displayed by seemingly innocent survivors and decided to go alone and just look for weapons. Over the next 3ish days I can't tell you the amount of times I was killed by other hackers. I was teleported in the air to my death, instant death when I logged in, instant killed when in game, and the infamous Thunderdome. Almost all of those bugs you had experienced, I had experienced and I feel your pain I really do. At times I even looked up hacking because my mind set was "what's the point of trying to progress through this game if I am just going to be teleported in 1000M in the air and fall to my death?"

However, I moved on and decided that I won't let a few a lot of bad eggs ruin my time on DayZ. I completely understand if you tried to hack, even though I know I am going to get flamed for this. When you and I purchased this game I'm sure we had a completely different perspective of what it was really going to be and it turned out it was far from it. Thankfully this game is still in Alpha and it has A LOT of potential to be a great game. Anyways, I don't blame you for hacking. Here's to hopefully a new start in standalone :)

You deserve a medal, Atleast your reading the post instead of not reading and just mindlessly posting that the OP is a bad cheater/hacker. Those people just hope to get alot of beans.

That's not how hackers work.

Chances are that guy was just bored of multikilling full servers for the day and decided to do something else for a change.

The MO is always the same - player feels he has the right to circumvent the games mechanics and raise themselves above other players, the justification usually changes (it can be different excuses, other hackers, players killing them they don't feel should be killing them, bugs, boredom) but the motivation is always the same.

They're normally quite young, very self entitled kids that just don't think rules or fair play applies to them.

They'll find 1000 different excuses, but those are the facts.

That's probably true for most hackers, but honestly I think it'd be pretty fun to go to an empty server and play chicken with hueys while being shot at by rockets from people on bycicles being chased by 10 tractors.

[Kurukururin 11]

Hmm, HE didnt think he ruined someone else's gaming experience. The problem is that the OP maybe wrong thinking that. If you think hard and long about the things you did, im sure you altered it for alot of players without even knowing it. But he dont seem to be a person who thinks about stuff for too long haha ;D I think a more simple game would be better for him, since he didnt take the time needed to understand all the glory that is Dayz even now in alpha. I know there is a risk that OP is a troll, and havnt been banned at all, but i still had to get that said :) Pretty good troll if thats the case btw ;)

[notSLICK 26]

you got bored so you hacked. may a disseased blind hooker win the chance to pee in your mouth.

[Slickback (DayZ) 21]

Oh well, I do not wish to argue anymore, although I definitely love to! It's like a battle of the brains! Anyways, I do agree with some of the arguments that some people mentioned. Mostly the point regarding even subtle hacks can drastically influence other players game experience. Maybe if we're lucky hackers will be non-existent in the standalone version.....probably not, but it can't hurt to hope :) Best of luck to you OP, I'm sure you just a nice fellow who chose a questionable path =p

Edit #1: You didn't see anything grammar Nazis! Ok...maybe you did, but it's gone now

OP. i can understand you but not in this game or mod. i mean arma 2 is great in itself and you could have done all of that in armex chernarus with your buddies.

but in GTA IV.

nothing more fun than in a 32 slot free roam modus locked server with your buddies and the trainer. no harm was done.

i never did anything like that in dayz and arma tho but think i can see where you are coming from expect you have all those abilitys in arma 2 itself to do it in a legal ''correct'' way.

[Klaz48 0]

I rmemeber once a script kiddy gave me everything i wanted (except for SVD Camo). during that time i really didnt have motive to play since i had the best stuff. Once i died tho, i felt the need to play again;scavange, and kill bandits :)

[GrumpyFragger 67]

tldr: Bought game for alpha mod, played for a week, became bored and disappointed with bugs and current game state, began scripting, got banned

Thats the maximum of attention you can expect from the current youth. You seem surprised ?

[Ajvkorn 72]

And I presume you're going to hack on that too if you die to another player and feel it 'unjust'?

Lol..I never said I hacked. I said if I could use one, it would just be for gear...IF KILLED BY A HACKER, not a legit kill. You sir are an idiot and need to learn how to read properly and comprehension. In the end, hackers will be there. It's alpha..Either way you are going to lose your shit when the stand alone game comes out, so relax noobie. Play in a private hive server if you don't want hackers. Otherwise, man the fuck up and get over urself. boohooo!

[Ajvkorn 72]

You realize this is a game and not real life, right? Who the fuck actually thinks they are "Above other players" and that is why they hack. They hack because the game is boring and after you get completely geared, there is LITERALLY nothing to do except pvp and then people just bitch about that too. Grow the hell up. Go outside for once and you won't have to deal with hackers. faggot.

[Aypoc 36]

I don't blame him for cheating, the game is kind of broken considering everything he mentioned, and the scripters that run rampant in every server are enough to push a man overboard. He is only trying to equal out the balance between himself and the other script kiddies. You have my beans, mate.

[kebman 213]

Sad story. I kind of like the monster of Green Mountain. That's cool hacking.

Thunderdome, or teleporting to death; not so cool.

[crockett (DayZ) 41]

The ADD generation..

[ben_c 140]

There are no 'white hat' hackers here. Using the justification of 'the game gave me nothing to do so I got bored, so it is the games fault I hacked & scripted' is just fucking lame.

Normally I would critically review the OP and formulate a well written and thoughtful response. Over the past few days I have been killed by various hacks and tonight I have had more than a few cold beers so in summary:

You hacked. You got banned. You have NO-ONE but yourself to blame for your actions. In short, get fucked.

[ThuggleS 45]

What I got out of that wall of text was, "Because hackers were killing me and the bugs were annoying I decided to become a script-kiddie".

Yeah...I won't miss you.

[lian442 16]

If a murderer tries to kill a innocent person and you use a gun to kill the murderer, does that make you make a bad person?

No. You did it for a good cause. And the same thing happens on dayz too, but most of the people seem to think that hacks in general are bad. Its about the way you use it, not IF you use it.

Go on and call me a asshole because of this. But atleast I have stated my opinion here.

[enaver 25]

Amusing how so many people are incapable of reading the OP.

You all look like idiots.

[theonlyx 8]

I don't see why people get all upset about the scripters. The ones who don't thunderdome/insta-kill are helping us more than hurting us. For example,

Scripter comes in, lays down tent and fills it full of goodies, then he goes and kills some people. Noob somehow finds tent, instant jackpot for him. Another example would be scripters who spawn vehicles, you kill them and you have yourself an extra vehicle.

All games have "hackers", get used to it. Plus this game is a mod on ArmA II for Christ's sake, it's made for scripting. If it's such a big issue for people then don't play it until the stand-alone comes out.
