*** Infestation: Survivor Stories ***

Oh my oh my. I like the sounds of what's happening. Have they finally cottoned on to the fact they have a good game, and putting more effort in means more people will play and buy stuff therefore increasing their income without having to try and fleece folks??
 
Maybe they are, but I no longer follow the progres on their forums or FB, I guess ill hear about it here when they get an anti-hack, then ill try it agan.

Same here. Don't follow their forums or pay any attention to their fb updates. Just keeping an eye on here seems to suffice.
Had a 15 minute wander round there now and there were a lot of pop ups in the dialogue box saying fairfight had banned so and so. Until I see it saying punkbuster is doing the banning ill take it with a pinch of salt.
 
WarZ thread still going strong while dayZ is closed, I don't actually play this anymore for the record but it looks like warZ is better and has more mature posters in it's thread haha.

it is definitely improved from what is was a couple of months ago but until the implement some sort of decent anti cheat I think serious players are still going to give it a bit of a wide birth.

I still jump in from time to time just to have a run around, but you just know the longer you hang about in any one server the more chance a hacker has of zoning in on you.

dunno what happened the dayz thread, had been in and out of it periodically (shame I just can't get on with the game itself) but always seemed to be a lot of 'sniping' at one and other and griping about servers and such like. shame people can get so wound up over a game-dread to imagine what some are like in real life! :p
 
Interesting. May have to play this again now. It's been months and it was hackers finally drove me to quitting.
