Dynami 18 Posted September 22, 2012 (edited) Is there a secret bundle of hive servers out there that just don't get touched by hackers?Seriously, I've been trying to play a couple days now on main hives. And I'm sure you know how that ends. I actually met a hacker who teleported me, somehow deleted all my gear and left me there with broken legs. :| So I crawl to get some zombies to eat me, I'm happy because this means I can go back to my camp to gear up. After an hours worth of walking I find all my tents destroyed haha.I always try to give main hives a chance but it always ends ugly. I've been playing private hives but the downfall to that right now is the drama. "omg u stole my vehicle that i left unattended in the forest, i will hunt ur asz down with my clan noob"For those of you still kicking it in regular hive servers, how do you do it?

sostronk 334 Posted September 22, 2012 (edited) Is there a secret bundle of hive servers out there that just don't get touched by hackers?Yer there are some. I aint naming them though. Jump on a 4 player public slot and 2 players are hacking. Jump on a private hive with 50 players and not one hacker. R.I.P Hive.

Dynami 18 Posted September 22, 2012 (edited) Same here, but I always try to give them a chance. I notice there's still quite a few players who play on main hives. I just want to know how they do it.Yer there are some. I aint naming them though. Jump on a 4 player public slot and 2 players are hacking. Jump on a private hive with 50 players and not one hacker. R.I.P Hive.I always hop on my own main hive server. We usually get 5-20 players so its a small population. Sure there's no hacking, but it gets kind of boring without all the activity. of a 30-50 player gangbangfest. Edited September 22, 2012 by Dynami Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tom.dullnig@gmx.net 16 Posted September 22, 2012 Pretty simple... have one character that you do sort of care about and one that you don't with the former usually being on a private server. Also, playing Taki or Lingor helps a lot. I use the main hive character for change of pace stuff only where I don't really care about. For instance I just spent the last two hours on a main server playing medic in cherno and electro and getting the newbies out of hairy situtations, stuff like that.Don't get me wrong, I am just as coldblooded as the next guy but the not giving a fuck occasionally on the main hive is what keeps the wait for standalone interesting.Also, I found that when a guy that is obviously just teleporting close to you to troll you, playing along goes a long way. I have had two free boat rides (through the air) and a chickenrace (with the hacker and myself being the chicken) alone for this evening. Most of the times these people are just seeking attention in the first place. Since we can't change the rampant hacking situation anyways right now, at least getting a laugh out of it or just not giving a fuck helps.It's sad to see us genuine players being forced away from the official "service" like that but then again, if we can believe what Rocket says, it's only a short wait for standalone.

EndEffeKt 87 Posted September 22, 2012 I took a break for 2 months and now I started fresh on a private server. I can just encourage anyone to do the same. Its real DayZ there :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zombie Jesus 723 Posted September 22, 2012 Join 1-15 player pop servers Is how I avoid hackeraSo sad that people can't enjoy a full server, I will say what others have said just far less eloquently. Just play and make sure zero fucks were given when hacked. Or go private, netter feel and more freedom in well run private servers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Inception. 9443 Posted September 22, 2012 (edited) Well, you see, I just don't join private hives. That's how.Lol, my group/friends and I have had several vehicles on a particular hive for a while without being attacked by hackers. Edited September 22, 2012 by Inception.

terex 322 Posted September 22, 2012 If I could I probably wouldn't be on the main hives too much lately.. Having fun on Lingor and a couple private hives for Chern. Less hackers, more vehicles and overall better times it seems. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Michaelvoodoo25 3120 Posted September 22, 2012 High pop servers are dangerous places to play on, And I aint talking about Scripters, and incidently with all the new private hives some of the safest places to experience the real joy of DayZ.I used to play on low pop servers all the time, especially when Hackers were rife, but i realised I was missing the real experience of DayZ. So now it is back to high pop servers for a fulfilling sesh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
