[QUOTE=Lawligagger;46986712]Well shit, this just put me off from wanting to play the game today.[/QUOTE]
I wouldn't worry about it too much, hackers are few and far between.
I was walking down a road just past a petrol station, saw a guy and spoke to him, he was russian, we ended up walking the road together till we got to a little town, i was searching a car and heard some kid to the left of me shouting down his mic "you can't kill me leave me alone!" whilst a guy was just following him punching him, so i just hid and walked away slowly
I was with another guy for over an hour, we couldn't find any loot so eventually he went mad with boredom and started trying to punch me to death. I exclaimed that I would rather suicide than let him kill me, so I jumped off a bridge. I survived, he jumped after me and killed me in the river. Then he started crying and saying he's sorry until he got shot over my body by some rando
I've noticed that, why is there no fall damage, I went up to some radio tower(which presented text on my screen saying some radio station name) and some guy had built stuff up there though it was abandoned, it was atop a mountain and I was like 0% on everything almost so I though, yeah i'll jump off to kill myself, proceeded to slide, catapult of a little lip, slide some more and jumped again to then land and take no damage
I'm having a blast in this game, played for 8 hours straight tuesday and don't regret a second. Threw together some moments :D Now about to see how the European servers behave! :)

1 hour playtime and still can't find a damn thing.

Fall Damage is very weird in this game. You can walk walk off a small cliff and take a ton of damage. But if you surf down a mountain you probably won't take any damage.
I was heading to pleasant valley from the mountains, so I set myself on auto run and was checking twitter, looked back up and it said "You Are Dead" and I knew exactly what cliff I fell off of :v:
Welp, had my first run in with two hackers.
My group killed three people with pistols, 1 of them got our teammate.
One of my friends was afk in the cop car. He died because one of them teleported inside the car and shot him.
Other teammate got shot while he was looting.
I was last alive and seen a completely basic human model glitch walking down the road, then all of a sudden that body pops right up infront of me with a shotgun, misses and I kill him.
Then his buddy appears beside me, got me down to 21, I hit him 4 times before he killed me.
My friend spawned near by, they already had everything looted, teleported to a fresh spawn and 1 shot him, then went straight to my friend that was hiding behind a sign and killed him.
It's sad because we just looted a 15~ man group's base and were driving around looking for cars to take to base and log off for the night.
I could handle like aimbotting, aimbotting is easy to counter, but teleporting and being invisible is annoying.
So I picked this up the other day with some of my PS2 guys. Been pretty fun, running in a group of 3-5 is pretty effective even with just makeshift bows. We got swarmed by about 20 zombies over the course of 3 minutes in Pines and made some nice fields of fire. Having 3 coordinated people in TS is also very nice as we can all 3 shoot a deer at the same time.
I think this game will be a disaster when it comes to hackers especially when it releases as F2P.
So, I decided to get the game yesterday after someone told me they had fixed the loot, but I guess he lied because I went in a low pop server and whole towns had nothing in them.
I barely stayed alive by eating shittons of blackberries.
I guess the only way to get something is to craft stuff?

It's too early to say anything about it, I myself haven't come across any and they've already banned a batch of 150 hackers not too long ago. So who knows.

Loot respawn was still broken after the patch, I mean stuff spawned but not nearly as much as it should've.
Another loot patch was announced 8 hours ago to be released 'tomorrow'. This might be the 40 mb patch I got when signing on to steam just now but I don't see patch notes yet so who knows.

They do a solid job with hackers and glitchers in Planetside.
Note to self: don't just assume that the two dudes with bows who were firing just stopped chasing you after 100 meters when you're hiding behind a rock.

Right now they are datamining what the hackers are doing, once they get the data they need, they ban them.
As the fix been implemented yet?
[QUOTE=DEMONSKUL;46996678]As the fix been implemented yet?[/QUOTE]
Not yet I do believe. No patch notes at least and they haven't said anything on twitter.
They had some PAX stuff going on so maybe that delayed the patch a bit more, it'll probably be avalible in a few hours.
Looks like servers are shutting down now, I think it's patch time.
Patch notes.
[quote]The servers will be coming down at 3:45 PST for approximately 2 hours.
-Revised loot spawn rules
-Your nameplate will not display while prone.
-Fixed Metal Doors to open/close/lock/unlock properly.
-Punji stick traps, dew collectors, and rabbit traps will now slowly decay over time. They can be repaired with a hammer.
-Punji sticks have lower health and should be a little easier to remove.
-Spool of twine now has a unique icon.
-The arrow recipe now produces one arrow instead of two.
-Increased placed barricade resistance to damage.
-Slightly raised the chance to harvest usable cloth from dead zombies.
-Metal pipes, metal sheets, and hunting rifles can be melted down in furnaces for metal bars.
-There were two Calamity (EU) servers. One has been renamed to Collapse (EU). Please check the green character indicator on the far left of server select to see if which server your character is on.
-The ground tamper item has been disabled and the recipe to make it is no longer discoverable
-Improved Vehicle Survivability
-Rotten food has been removed from the fridge spawners[/quote]
How are you supposed to make foundations without a ground tamper?
I know people spammed them to cock up roads but could they not just implement a sort of grid of where you can and can't put them?

They'll probably fix it eventually.
It's all trial-and-error right now. There were bigger issues to address at the time.
Everyone seems to want me dead. :P
EDIT: ok and now I'm getting this "GAME ERROR 28" so I can't play.

that makes dayz look super fun. Unfortunately I have a feeling the game will be nothing but endless frustration in the end
So loot spawns are WAY too high now.
I feel like having high loot spawns right now makes the game [I]more[/I] fun.
I mean, you can't really get a serious game going in its current state anyway because of broken building, glitches, server issues, hackers, early alpha, etc. So having everyone be on even ground by being armed to the teeth is kinda fun :v:
high loot spawns my ass
i was lucky enough to find a fire axe to kill shit with but i haven't found any real food besides blackberries.

God I found salt, canned food, metal, and tools galore all over Pines.
Only played for about 2 hours and I've already had enough shit to start up a camp for myself.

And then I got attacked by a bear and was super glad I had an AR15 with ammo, then some guy found my camp forcing me to move of which I have now done.
Got 11 hours game time so far, me and a friend have been playing together, loving the game
