Hackers - Should be priority number one

[Prof. Awesome 3]

Hello there guys,

its a old issue, but i wanna make sure that no one forgets about it. Its getting worse, in the last three days me and my friend got killed 4 Times by Hackers. Just a random Beam to somewhere on the beach and dying afterwards.

With us i see at least about 100 people dying during this three days, and iam pretty sure more people died by hackers on other server.

That´s bullshit and it destroys the game, i brought a couple of my friend to this game, but a few of them already decided to stop playing. It makes me angry to see how people stop playing this awesome game because of some fucking assholes.

I know i know .... what you saying "don't be attached to your gear". But that's not the point, iam angry loosing my gear, but iam more angry because of the fact that whatever i just made, like finally regrouped with my friends, or fixed a car, or just survived a shootout with some shitty bandits,i could get fucked up 10 seconds later by stupid hacker.

A lot a games got already destroyed, reputation is everything, especially in a game like yours, its all about, what people on the internet say about it, if in 1 months everyone says, "The game is unplayable since hackers are all over the place" no one wants to play it, and i see the success of the standalone version in jeopardy. I dont want this to happen.

So please Rocket push this in priority, it kills the game, your game and our Story's!

sincerly Prof. Awesome and greetings from Germany!

Rocket can't do a god damn thing about hackers.

Stop playing and wait for the standalone, the problem will be fixed by then.

Edit; DayZ is currently just a mod. The hacking problem comes from the openness of the ARMA 2 engine, which was released in 2009. It has been like this for years, but the popularity of the DayZ mod and its cruel nature made people want to just hack, because they either find the gameplay boring or extremely difficult.

Not only is the problem not related to DayZ, but it's also in an alpha, on a broken engine.

If people look at the mod, see all the problems, and are convinced that the standalone game on its own engine is going to be just as bad, do we REALLY want them into the game with us? Be honest.

I should also point out the fact that DaZ will NOT BE COMPLETE when it comes out as a standalone. It will still be in the alpha-stage. Becoming a standalone gives Rocket all the power over DayZ that he needs. The engine will be more strict, and for sure won't be allowing scripts, like what the hackers use now. (And hopefully/most likely will have a different cheat-protection.)

yup, I'm sure everyone will just forget about it unless we keep reminding them every day or two

as stated in countless threads before - it's up to BE to deal with hackers, not rocket

A little late to the party on this one dude :)

An ongoing issue that's not likley to go away anytime soon i'm afraid. I agree these putrid swine have been THE thorn in my side on DayZ however, as the standalone is a purchased game you'd like to think a lot of attention's given to ridding us of these twats. Fingers crossed.

ps dont apologize for your English dude, it's very good. English speaking nations are typically very lazy in learning other languages.
