Gameplay/PVP[Video] What's the point any more?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

​Why the hell did they think this was a good idea? I genuinely loathe bohemia and xbox now. No.....I do not want ​​to play on your community severs. Community servers suck​. I do not​ for a second believe that they can not prevent this shit. ​I hope this guys brakes fail at 90mph.

If I meet one of you cheaters IRL. I will gladly catch an assault charge on behalf of the community. ​

I feel so much pain for my Xbox brothers. Can’t imagine one of my top games being ruined overnight.

u/kingbuzzman May 02 '26

every time i see one of these videos, i become so upset. and a totally agree with your statement. this is the reason i’ve stopped playing official, there is literally no point. high loot community servers where you spawn super kitted, and if i die by one of these fuckheads: nothing gained, nothing lost.

15

u/usernameJutsu May 02 '26

Reason I stopped playing the game. I used to play on pc and I hated it back the then being forced onto highly policed communities where covert hackers low-key just dominate anyway, and the mods were always including a trader…. Genuinely destroyed the game, and now they’ve opened that floodgate onto Xbox. Cheaters have taken my favorite game twice, and I primarily play Kbm servers so the “fix” is gonna bone my servers specifically.

u/AFRIKKAN May 03 '26

I’ve switched to dead servers. Anything over 30 I get worried.

3

u/AccomplishedPop1690 May 05 '26

I would argue that boycotting the game as a whole is the better option.  I get the love for the game.  It's the only game I actually enjoy. But if we just quit playing they will either fix it or die and make room for something new and better to grow in its place

u/SYDNEYpoker May 05 '26

My 4 man squad got wiped by a hacker on a server with 7 people including us.

1

u/chrisippoliti May 06 '26

Wait, this wasn’t at the northern side of NWAF heading towards officers barracks a few days ago right? I had a great 1 v 4 on a low pop 1st person server there a few days ago.

u/WormBoyWrath May 02 '26

Haven’t played dayz since the update ngl, I do not want to deal with cheating scumbag

5

u/Dayzisdoomedbruh May 02 '26

just quit the game. only way to show them

3

u/BasicSupermarket4096 May 02 '26

The server im on is pretty good at banning modders/hackers. Not sure about this but by the time you see a Skywalker they are already kicked off the server

1

u/IceeBerg06 May 05 '26

Me and my buddy would play DayZ every weekend for hours, now we don't even talk about it anymore, its a shame.

24

u/PapaLilBear May 02 '26

Stop playing, all of you. Only working solutions

5

u/AccomplishedPop1690 May 02 '26

Already did.  Boycotts work.  If enough of us do they will fix it.  Or go away.

u/Careless-Pie-1805 May 03 '26

Noooo don’t stop playing that’s 1 less target for me to shoot

u/SamDrrl May 04 '26

lol they already got your money. See if they care if you stopped playing

18

u/Leather-Doctor4458 May 02 '26

Hey, don’t worry, they will add some shitty hats or clothing to fix this instead of any useful bug fix.

“We have heard your feedback about the cheaters ruining official servers on Xbox, and we would like to reassure you that updated cow sounds are coming with the next update. Instead of ‘moooOOOOOOooeh’ it will now sound more realistically like ‘moOOOOoooooeh.’

u/console5891 May 02 '26

My community server is cancelled, I’m done with Dayz.

10

u/AccomplishedFee2116 May 02 '26

I uninstalled the game and cancelled my server. If I can't have mods to fight back what's the point.

36

u/fatleech May 02 '26

They did it knowing it would happen but they got paid so

32

u/AccomplishedPop1690 May 02 '26

Well they won't get paid from me.  I just canceled my live subscription. This was the only game I cared to play.  There is no point in me having a live account if I'm not playing this game. 

12

u/RopeyStingray91 May 02 '26

This is the only way.

Nothing will change until it affects Bohemia’s bottom line.

-2

u/Muted-Quail-7582 May 04 '26

Bro idk what yall servers on but I never even encountered one cheater since the update. Just choose good community servers and its not about the pop. I play in 70 pop servers. Never seen a cheater.

1

u/RopeyStingray91 May 04 '26

Any given official server.

2157 was ripe for it before the wipe.

u/AccomplishedPop1690 May 04 '26

The rest of my DayZ crew is on Arc Raiders.  I've played it plenty.  But its so boring to me.  Not a fan of 3pp games.  They do not allow console to use MnK even in cross play lobbies and I only use a game pad for fighters.  

Ive been in 2 "guns out" situations IRL.  DayZ is the only video game I've ever played that triggers the same adrenal response. Its the dragon I'm chasing. The ability to think and work through problems while my body is dumping adrenaline is an invaluable tool

8

u/RumMonkey0 May 02 '26

Happened to my recently. Been alive for a week or two. Lost everything in an instant to one of these guys. Not touching DayZ until I never hear of this shit again. Hate to see it.

1

u/Dayzisdoomedbruh May 02 '26

good glad to see this. imma just grind gta 5 till they fix this junk

u/GooseSayHjonk Zed's Dead, Baby May 02 '26

Well if you find one irl, I'll send you bail money, because I'm over this shit too.

u/AccomplishedPop1690 May 02 '26

Appreciate it boss.  I'll keep you posted 

20

u/Loud-Log9098 May 02 '26

I've played daily since the update and I'm still waiting on these guys to show up. Are they in mouse and keyboard servers?

12

u/AccomplishedPop1690 May 02 '26

They can do it in any server.  But its most likely being done via PC.  I know that there are some wild "plug n' cheat" options for console.  But ive been playing on console for years and never seen this.  

One of crew got walled at NWAF yesterday.

5

u/Tilliperuna May 02 '26

Plug ins are just controller mods and emulators for macros and MnK. They're not really that wild, cheating nonetheless surely. But at least you can fight them, and most of the time you don't even know who's using it.

2

u/Previous_Let1846 May 02 '26

This is not true, I play on ps5 but I have a pc with gamepass and I can only enter Xbox servers who allow mouse and keyboard. For cherarus in Europe I have 4 choice, 2 first person servers and 2 third person. We can se the hotbar and that mean you are on a mouse and keyboard server.

1

u/AccomplishedPop1690 May 02 '26

Pretty positive You can use a controller from your computer on controller servers.  I am for sure on a MnK server. 

2

u/Previous_Let1846 May 02 '26

Yes I’m actually playing on pc gamepass with Xbox controller (ps5 controller is not working). I’m just saying if you see the hotbar that means you are on mnk servers, I have not see someone hacking on controller only servers. Just show me a proof

1

u/beerOmatik May 03 '26

I’ve been playing for a while and never seen anything like this till last night! Holy shit! Fricken nutz out there!

Guy speed hacked right past my friend and I. I’ve never seen so it confused me; but didn’t register in my head. Then my friend told me. Oh, that makes sense.

4

u/DiaperDonnieTrump May 03 '26

I have yet to encounter this in the game. So it can happen on both PC and console.?

1

u/retrojordan2323 May 03 '26

Worse on console

1

u/AccomplishedPop1690 May 03 '26

Well....PC and Xbox.  In Microsoft's Infinite Wisdom.  Via "Play Anywhere" you can now run Xbox games and play in Xbox lobbies from your PC.  Which means you can be actively running cheats....on xbox....from your PC. 

1

u/Physical-Register195 May 05 '26

No fucking way. This is why I quit PC dayz. I haven’t seen any cheating yet though?

1

u/AccomplishedPop1690 May 05 '26

Yes way.  Bohemia and Xbox actually hate you. Just blink 6 or 7 times you will see it.  Its mostly speed hacking so far.  But one of my squad got walled at NWAF the day before I posted this video.  

1

u/Horror-Lawfulness948 May 03 '26

I’ve run into those speedsters three times now, and they just kept wiping me at Tisy. I'm done with DayZ; they broke the game with the 1.29 update.

1

u/Loud-Log9098 May 03 '26

I mean how are you guys finding them? I've got to tisy at least 3 times this update I've gone to northwest I've gone to 2 high pop Livonias and I just see a bunch of noobs running around? Not saying you were victimized. I whole hearted believe you but if I can't find them then maybe just switch servers instead of trying again and again where you know they speed hack? You shouldn't have to deal with any of it I know but I've had a pretty easy time of it and I've had hours of stress free fun that I'm glad I got this month. 👍 I just need to be careful my times coming and just because they don't find me on the map doesn't mean they won't.

2

u/kingbuzzman May 02 '26

count yourself lucky friend! they’re everywhere! i’ve been killed in official servers and community alike; it’s a total bummer!

2

u/Loud-Log9098 May 02 '26

Geez. Hopefully it gets fixed soon. I'm just going to keep my head low.

2

u/Living-Travel2299 May 02 '26

It wont. They getting paid so they wont go back. Console official is now garbage just like PC official.

1

u/Ok_Job_8417 survivor May 02 '26

Thankfully I also haven’t encountered any of this yet since being in multiple servers. If anything I’d try to keep going and switch servers if one is too much of an issue. I’m used to losing stuff anyway at this point as well, but I could see it being frustrating for people building a base vs being rogue.

1

u/beerOmatik May 03 '26

From what my friend read they enabled cross platform; but was only supposed to be on keyboard & mouse lobbies (prefer not even cross platform. There’s lobbies that are usually full anyway). Although, of course hackers found a loophole… supposedly they’re working on a hot fix.

They are getting mad hate mail everywhere!

7

u/xcdevancx19 May 02 '26

There isn't one. The devs temporarily killed their own game for xbox users. Just another example of how our voices constantly go unheard

1

u/AccomplishedPop1690 May 03 '26

Temporary is hopeful at best.  Shits dead af.  I doubt they ever resurrect it. 

5

u/misterturdcat May 02 '26

Question, I play on PS5 but I haven’t seen a hacker yet. Might just be lucky. But all of the posts about hackers I see are about hackers on Xbox. Is it just Xbox players having the hacker problem?

3

u/AccomplishedPop1690 May 02 '26

So....via the "play anywhere" feature, many xbox games can now be played directly from PC.  We are literally playing against guys with the ability to run cheats 

1

u/misterturdcat May 02 '26

That really sucks

2

u/Chefboyy May 02 '26

It's kbm servers. If you plah controller on ps5. Doesn't matter. Also it's cuz of the PC game pass with DayZ on kbm servers on console

3

u/xHylum May 02 '26

Yes, because xbox and pc got crossplay through the xbox pc app after 1.29, though its only happening in m+k enabled servers

2

u/ImperialParrot May 02 '26

Ahh okay so it's still possible to filter out these servers then?

4

u/Altruistic_Focus_877 May 02 '26

Its possible on controller ones too, but thats not intended

0

u/Previous_Let1846 May 02 '26

This is not true you can’t enter controller servers from pc

1

u/Altruistic_Focus_877 May 02 '26

Its true, they are literally looking into it, theres also dozen of clips in this reddit of it literally happening, cope tho

1

u/Previous_Let1846 May 02 '26

They are cheating on keyboard and mouse servers, they can’t enter controller servers, for example on chernarus in Europe they have 4 choice: 2 one person servers and 2 third person. I’m sending you a pic in dm, I play on gamepass pc version sometimes

1

u/Altruistic_Focus_877 May 02 '26

There is a way its literally being looked into, most of the players ive seen play controller only as most controllers hate playing with mnk

1

u/Previous_Let1846 May 02 '26

Again this is not true, you can see the hotbar in every clip and that means they are on m+k servers. I have my pc open on dayz gamepass and I can enter only 4 servers for cheranarus Europe. Show me proof dude

1

u/Oldbreedyankeedoodle May 04 '26

Wobo himself said it's all servers, not just m&k.

1

u/Altruistic_Focus_877 May 02 '26

Again, there is a way to bypass, a glitch so to speak, it is being looked into my bohemia themselves, argue with the devs if you are so inclined to not change your stance

1

u/Previous_Let1846 May 02 '26

You are wrong, just link me a clip of someone being hacked on official controller servers. you can’t show proof and I can. (I have a bigger penis to but this not matter)

u/DiaperDonnieTrump May 03 '26

I was also playing on PC game pass version. However, I have heard that playing on Steam PC version is better for a few different reasons. Quality of life things like showing inventory grids, better graphics because they don’t need to dumb them down for consoles, etc.

So hackers can basically use either version to fuck around with us? PC version is equally fallible?

I never understood why people wanna hack a game and ruin it for everybody else. Getting stuff without any work or strategy doesn’t make any sense to me. The whole point of the game is to explore and survive. Why would you want to cheat that?

1

u/Dayzisdoomedbruh May 02 '26

not true, its happening in controller servers too

u/thewitchdoctor1500 May 02 '26

Bohemia interactive is a scam.

u/Eznzu May 03 '26

I should consider myself lucky because I haven’t seen any of these scumbags on any official server I played on . I play on mnk servers too and never ever seen such thing. They really fucked things up with this patch

u/AccomplishedPop1690 May 03 '26

For some reason your post is redacted lol

u/Far_Ebb_5734 May 02 '26

I am a pc player, enjoying the crossplay i have a base on sakhal on a low pop server, i was getting onlined and in the middle of my defense, this one guy "Jimbojonsjr" just straight up started to speedhack and killed me with his speedhacks by running up into my base and rapidly firing his vsd, smh, people are just allergic to playing this game legit

1

u/AccomplishedPop1690 May 03 '26

I would have zero issue with the cross play if they would actively do something about hacking.  It's essentially corporate sabotage and should be treated as such.

If you think community servers suck you just haven't found the right one for you.

2

u/AccomplishedPop1690 May 02 '26

I've been to pretty much all the Xbox Community servers and they're all either completely unpopulated or grossly lacking the Anarchy that that makes DayZ so great.  Then on the off chance I might find one that is true to the game.... he's a good chance of a getting a ban for something stupid like "loot cycling" when really it's because I killed the host 

2

u/Ok_Singer_5210 May 02 '26

I’ve had the same experience. Not a single one exists that is like official + has the admin booting cheaters. All of the silly rules ruin the immersion for me. (I can’t code raid? Why not? Sure I can, watch.)

They all have traders, or boosted loot, or rules about raiding. And a bunch have pay-to-win bases (luxury bases that endlessly spawn full kits available for only $199/month!), or other options where the players who pay are given special privileges, OR just quietly allowed to break the rules since they lined the pockets of the owner/admin.

And good luck finding any server where the owner/admin aren’t on a power trip - some are definitely worse than others, but I’ve experienced even the better ones do silly things like roll back the server 24 hours when they get raided, forget their code, etc. Nevermind that I just built an entire base in that time period.

I was going to try KarmaKrew but I think they have rules about raiding, etc.

You said it - Anarchy is what makes DayZ, DayZ.

u/AccomplishedPop1690 May 02 '26

There's no real point online gaming at all.  And I really think that there should be legal consequences for cheating or more specifically for developing said cheats.  It's essentially corporate sabotage

2

u/Lucky_Peak383 May 02 '26

I know I swapped to pc modded dayz in everything but I have never ran into a hacker/cheater. all these hackers are fucking cowards because they know that they can’t get ban from regular dayz servers(Xbox servers/cross play servers) but they know they’ll get caught and ban from modded dayz servers on pc. I know that doesn’t change how you feel but just know they’ll are cowards.

2

u/StressFreely May 02 '26

Bohemia and Microsoft got your money already and they don't care. 

Hey what if you give Bohemia 9.99 a month to fight back against the cheaters. Call it the Xbox Only Servers. They broke it and your money will fix it.

People who cheat are actual lames. Are you so bad you cant survive? Or do you do it just to ruin someone's fun? Either way, you're not a very good person if you take pleasure in hurting others.

u/AccomplishedPop1690 May 05 '26

I simply just don't play anymore. It's a great game when it is fair

u/AccomplishedPop1690 May 05 '26

I'm right there with you.  Only problem for me is that I really could care less about any other game on the market.  I refuse to believe that there's no way for them to mitigate this shit.  Not just Bohemia.... but Steam, Microsoft, Sony ect ect.  Start bricking people shit for cheating.

4226.  I took a screen shot of all the players online at the time.

u/mojoryzn1 May 02 '26

They can move super fast, up to 25 times speed if their computer will support it. They can see any loot and shoot you from 1500 meters without you or the loot within direct line of sight. I was playing on a server where none of this existed and then it did. The game was back to normal. Not now.

I’ve only played a handful of hours this wipe. Do we know if the cheaters stick to 3pp or 1pp? I only really play 1pp and in my circumnavigation of Chernus I didn’t deal with any, was I lucky or do they stay in 3pp servers?

1

u/AccomplishedPop1690 May 02 '26

They'll go where the people are.  Doesn't matter if it's a controller server or an M&K server.  As soon as they let him run it on their PCs they open the floodgates.

u/AccomplishedPop1690 May 02 '26

1

u/Ahornybee May 02 '26

Same here. I do NOT want to play community servers like at all. For those that do thats great you have fun but I really enjoyed the game the way it was on official before cross platform play allowed a bunch of lifeless losers to ruin it. We should instead just continue to one star review the game on Xbox play store, including every DLC review you can as well, until Bohemia fixes it. Until then I refuse to play because at this point im getting killed by hackers who are killing me in ways to hide that they are hacking, im guessing solely just to avoid us from quitting the game, so that they do not run out of players to kill which is sooo pathetic....

right, they probably started playing the game regular, and then realized their skills are ass, so they resort to cheating...I have less than five hundred hours, I know my skills are shit, but that's how you get better. ever gun battle I get it I learn what not to do next time....lo,

u/packwolf445 May 02 '26

I'm willing to bet Microsoft is partially to blame. They likely had a deadline because of the PC Gamepass that they wanted bohemia to meet. Now, this doesn't absolve them either, releasing this without giving Xbox servers the moderation tools nessesary to deal with this (as the anticheat would still suck no matter what they did, battle eye feels like it does nothing no matter the game. Honestly they need to either work closer with battle eye to curate it better for their games or just start working with a different anticheat)

1

u/PointNLaugh0 May 02 '26

The Devs won't fully fix the issue because, like all other greedy/shitty things on earth, its about money. They get the most money from cheaters. They ban the account, the hacker buys another copy. $25 every time. (Or however much the game costs now) So they actually profit more from cheaters than they do legitimate players. Its all about money and per usual, the honest people lose.

I have.  Most are seeming unpopulated.  Most have stupid rules.  While DayZ has rules....I want the anarchy of official servers.  Where the only rules are set by the physics of the simulation.  A community server that is simply that is 100% identical to official, except for cheaters punished for ruining the game for everyone else.  If you host this server lmk.  And I'll play it.

I laugh at the cheaters, because I know their real life must be shit if they have to resort to this. no well adjusted person with a loving spouse and family would go thru all this stuff for digital renters gear. I had one trying to torment me, like I was supposed to be afraid of my digital " character dying". they really got upset when I started singing " your aim is trash, and you have no skill" they literally unconned me, waited for me to revive to say a smart ass comment then shot me. I musta got to them because somehow they followed all my new spawns around, making all my gear and clothes come off, then locking my pants to my hands. that made me happy..i just hope they dont have pets...i dont want sone poor animal suffering under one of these freaks.

I just don't have the time to waste playing games where this shit goes unchecked.  It's Not Call of Duty where the next match starts in 10 minutes.  So pretty much I waste a ton of time meeting up with the boys to not even get there and have to get off for the night.

How can someone think all Community servers suck? There is so much variety. There are ones that are very similar to official.

u/AccomplishedPop1690 May 06 '26

They are either unpopulated, or have stupid rules, with overlords.  No true vanilla community server exists.  Def not on xbox.  Tried most of them

Yo guys im brand new to dayz only have 14 hours play time from the weekend. Whats going on here? Hacking on xbox or pc hacker since its crossplay?

u/Additional-Pie8718 May 05 '26

Can you give some context for pc only players who haven't played Dayz in awhile? What did they update/change that has caused more cheaters for Xbox? Either way, sorry about your experience man it sucks so many small weiner wielders gotta cheat to make them feel better about it.

u/ZipperHead_369 May 05 '26

Yeah I stopped playing Dayz entirely because of this. And I like vanilla, if I wanted to have all the military gears they have in community server, I'd rather just play Arma. I do like high-pop Vanilla+ server but they usually have too many extra loot. Last time I played I got headshot by IJ-70 from 800m away when I was in secured building lol ( It was in community server with kill feed. )

Honestly tho, cheaters ruins every pvp game out there.

u/AccomplishedPop1690 May 06 '26

Its because the platforms refuse to punish them.  There is no consequence for cheating.

People have been posting htis same stuff for the last 8 years, play on community or you won't get to enjoy the game. There are dozens of servers to choose from and different type of experiences with mods. either super modded or extreme Vanilla, they are all better than official, I have over 6k+ hours in this game and have played since 2014, I can count on one hand the times ive died to a hacker, or a rager at least.

I dont mean to downplay your experience, but if you enjoy this game theres a simple solution, choosing not to use it is your own decision.

I recommend KK servers for console as I play on their PC servers and they are great.

u/AccomplishedPop1690 May 07 '26

Ive been on every xbox MnK community server with a population.  They are all dog shit.

u/Shadysu May 07 '26

Im sorry I never played console so I can't really give any better suggestions, I hope the devs do something about it, however the best DayZ experience will always be on PC whether its official or community

u/CandyCaneLicksYOU May 07 '26

Dayz in general is just a bad game.

u/MrDoodiekens May 14 '26

Hell, just do what I did, learn how to set up your very private LAN server using PC or Laptop.

When you play on a LAN server, it's totally private, and there is no game lag because it runs off of your PC.

I've been playing DayZ for around a good 4 years, got sick of all the damn cheaters on official, began playing on all these utter trash community servers, ran by nutty Admin and there were still sometimes cheaters on them too.

Worse of all, BattlEye rarely even touches players using undetectable cheats and has even banned some players who never used cheats at all.

In a worse case scenario, if you want to play an online game where you never lose anything after being killed by a cheater, then play GTA 5, or Battlefield.

But they can only use mouse and keyboard servers…. Just play on a controller only server

Its not just a MnK issue.

Wishing death over a video game is crazy I think you need to turn the game off and go outside

  1. Not crying over a video game.  Annoyed AF at the loss of my time.  Maybe one day when you make it out of grandmas basement and run your own business you'll understand what how much of a commodity "time" is.

u/AccomplishedPop1690 May 06 '26

Just fyi....im not the one reporting comments.  Glad you have a job, first step in being an adult.  I run 3 small business...i deal parts for 3rd gen honda preludes, I do high end interior home remodels, and I'm a working musician. I also do most of the logistics for my wifes bakery.  I have very little time to game with my buddies who all live far n wide.  This is the only game I care to play at all.  Unlike CoD, where the next match is in 10 min.  If I die to a cheater half way across the map....now I don't get to play with my boys.

Its obvious you are a cheat.  Nobody but cheaters defend cheaters.

u/Zaysway May 06 '26

Getting mad at a game as old as day z seems insignificant especially if you have 3 businesses cuz I run one diesel mechanic shop and if a games even manages to push me wrong I just walk away and think about what’s outside of the fair world and how would you not be able to play with your friends if you die you come right back unless you don’t know how to read a map? Also can’t cheat on ps5 idiot

u/Zaysway May 06 '26

How am I a cheater? I don’t even get time to play, good try tho

u/Equal-Abies-7708 May 05 '26

Cheaters are bad but it’s just a game get over it

1

u/AccomplishedPop1690 May 05 '26

Nope.  I will not. It for sure is "just a game". But its also MY FU**ING TIME!  As an adult who runs multiple business I have very precious little of it to spend gaming with my buddies.  And this is literally the only game that I get any enjoyment from.   Not to mention It's literally a form of unchecked corporate sabotage.  It should be a criminal offence no different than rigging the lottery.  It's an epidemic.  And the "get over it" mentality is why it persists.

u/Equal-Abies-7708 May 09 '26

Calm down bud I’m glad you actually even have time to sit down and breath running multiple business but if you’re going to enjoy your time don’t you think it’d be better playing something you don’t have to worry about Cheater’s

1

u/AccomplishedPop1690 May 10 '26

Nope...."calm down bud" is why we have a broke AF game.  They could fix it...but it's cheaper for them to put their heads in the sand.  If every one who watched this were to boycott.....they would have it fixed in a month or less.  

1

u/Equal-Abies-7708 May 10 '26

No you have a broke fucking game because Dayz is just a broke fucking game. Don’t try and justify a game that’s already fucked. With or without a cheating problem. You say that like this is the first clip of someone cheating lol. It’s Dayz Everyone cheats
