Seems to be a common complaint now. A pal of mine loves DayZ but has stopped playing as he constantly gets killed by invisible hackers

Most of the DayZ player base calls hacker, most of the time it is butt hurt or just desync. If you go to the big hosting sites of the mod people can post for people to be banned for hacks. Most of the time after the logs are checked the kills are legit. Sure you know this anyway, with online gaming what you might be seeing may not be what the person who is killing you is seeing. I tend to take hacker posts with a pinch of salt.

i am not buthurt, i was killed by an axe in the woods with 3 others today, watched us all go down one by one... no running or hiding...

i understand the desync and yes that happened in shoot outs that does not anger me - its when you get killed by invisible people or people that can shoot through or pass through walls

hard to say... i love the game and feel, as jerky/laggy as it can sometimes be, but the hackers are wrecking it, you can spend hours looting and running only to be instant killed

Was not aimed at you m8, just hacker calling in general. I am sure you know what you are doing and when you encounter hackers. But overall most of the time it is just the game, also shooting through walls is not hacking it is glitching, big difference in most cases. Most buildings in DayZ you can see through walls and shoot out of them, again this is just glitching. I say "just" it is still really bad but still not hacking though. Not even sure if PBO's are fixed, people used to be able to delete files and run about with no trees or grass but that might be fixed now.

no worries,

it does not bode well having a game built so heverly on scripts, one of the devs tweeted "no more hackers" on the last update and now there seems to be more!

i am not so fussed on exploits or glitches or even duplication, which i have partaken in when cloning gear off a friend (don't flame me)

It's the injected hack scripts that remove walls, god mode, or the common one which is the invisible,

this game is the worst game EVER to be killed by a hacker, most games like BF4 for example you just respawn and either leave or continue, nothing lost other than a k/d on your stats...

with dayz a hacker can wipe out hours of looting and exploring and if you are playing in a group like i was it will split you all up when you respawn and leave you with nothing!

never has a hack in a game made me mad... until now :(
 
Did a dev actually say that? Jesus LOL. He may have well put up a red screen in the game calling all hackers to come and play. Saying no more hackers is just plain stupid and will make people make scripts just to prove them wrong. On the other hand maybe that is what they want so they can squash them now or make it so the logs are easier to pick them up in the future. Then again Pocket did say many moons ago everything will be server side and hacking will be much less then the Arma 2 mod. Then again Pocket says a lot of things.

I remember once he was jumping about in that gear in front of a blue screen so Zombie animations would be perfect, no idea what happened to that...

Be handy if it listed player kills in the stats and how long they have been online. You could then exit quick if you see someone with 10/kills in 2 mins
 
So it's got better but now there's hackers. Might wait a bit and hopefully they'll get some proper anti-cheat implemented. Thought DayZ had Punkbuster if I remember right? Or was it something else?
 
Old school PC gamer that is getting a new rig next year to play initially Elite Dangerous but I’ve watched a lot of Dayz on twitch. I actually opened a steam account (sav112) to buy Dayz when it was on the sale but didn’t. It will probably be my first buy on steam in time.

It looks in poor shape just now with Sounds of the guns just not registering, a vehicle that is like driving in god mode as you cant damage it. The decent players I watch play on private servers and get some good play out of it still with all its bugs.

It could be a huge game but it just seems progressing if that very slowly. By the time its released to a good standard it will have missed its chance if you ask me. Great concept that the game is harsh and cruel at times but just disappointing the professionalism of the developers. If you watched this game a year to the day and came back your still seeing the same major bugs like Zombies hitting through walls etc and just a no existent threat.

But hay you now have a million different shirts and caps and can start fires but really they needed to drop adding crap that is only eye candy and fix some of the major problems.

Yes I know there is a rumoured new engine and sound package coming but going by there past efforts that could be 2016. The Road map published there reads all good and well but they have a habit of veering off course like with growing tomatoes? Who the **** wants to do that.

That new engine is actually already in use, in fact it is not really a new engine they just stripped the engine down they were using and gave it a nice shiny new name. Unless they are doing something else. Best thing they should have done is just use Arma 3, Breaking Point is so far ahead of this game it is unreal. Epoch has caught up as well and that has only been out a couple of months.

I’ve seen some really stunning play around the airfield etc on twitch and thought amazing stuff the guys are actually really scared or running on adrenalin they have got so immersed there.

Then you see Zombies and think really this is what you think is acceptable.
A player you have been following loose hours of work looting due to either a bug killing them, getting shot due to no sound from a weapon or sadly a hacker.

The Mod used to be brutal, unforgiving in a good way with skill needed to survive. You could trust the sounds to pinpoint other players. Get the basics covered and working and the game plays itself. Players have a great experience either working as a group or solo.

But just now with it so much of a mess its not even enjoyable to watch. You understand the frustration with players working so hard to try and play the game right only to be let down. Dean Hall I think got sidetracked by this crafting and hunting lark that could in time add so much to the game but he is responsible for letting it slide in other areas. Players I’ve known play the game from the Mod are just getting disillusioned when things are added like that truck when so much of what is basic to the game is still broke.

They simple need to understand that what they have done is not good enough and someone needs to be brought in who knows how to run a development team. They need to find a new balance were the game actually gets better with the inclusion of ne stuff and not just throw it in not finished for the sake of it. As right now it comes over a Con giving what they thing they can pass off as giving players what they want. Also nice move increasing the price only to take that amount off and say its on sale.

Got to remember they increased the price recently and to most that’s a slap in the face as they don’t deserve to do so.


Dayz for me is 90% walking aorund With nothing much happening and 10% of exciting game play that will leave you wanting more and breathless.. You play for the 10% and appreciate the 90% for what it is.
