Official Servers 4+ years of hackers being my main cause of death
Feedback, NormalPublic

Description

Official servers on PC used to be my favorite.
Ever since covid hit in 2020 I have been getting regularly killed by cheaters there.
I estimate that every 5 hours I get killed by an obvious cheater.
I really want to recommend DayZ to my friends, but when the official servers only lead to huge frustration with constant unavoidable cheater-deaths, and finding a proper vanilla DayZ community server being complicated, It just sets them up for a messed up experience which I cannot recommend.
Team Fortress 2 had a very similar problem, it was also nearly unplayable from 2020 - 2024.
But recently they banned (almost) every single cheater / bot in a single day.
Hopefully something like this can be possible for DayZ one day.

Invisible people dropping nades, suddenly everyone gets 1-tapped within one milisecond with no line of sight to any shooters and huge man-sized blood-petals squirt out of everyone, people running at ultra-speed like "The Flash" and also beating us up at the same speed, people gps locating stashes and players (they take me by the hand and lead me to them, explaining how their cheats work). All this has happened numerous, numerous, numerous times to me alone and many many other players.

I appreciate the cheater-ban statistics the DayZ team shares every year or so, but it is not even close to enough.

Please let us play the official DayZ experience we give you money for, thanks,

New players are very likely to join official servers, so they are set up to have a bad time.
How can you let this slide for 4 - 5 YEARS?
I feel bad sometimes when I think about how many new players go through this, it's such a struggle to get started for noobs only to run into guaranteed cheaters again and again and again.

Additional Information

Here are only a few examples from the past few weeks alone, this type of disturbance of my game experience must have happened at least 50 times in the past 4 years. And I would like to mention that this number appears while I already avoid official servers for this reason.

Event Timeline

my dear friend, I have been writing these topics to them since 2019 when hell began on the official servers, but no reaction, the developers don't care, they are more interested in adding hats, clothes, changing the spawn, adding-reducing loot and other unnecessary junk, during all this time they have not even tried to do anything, there are only more cheaters, cheats get updates more often than the game itself, it is useless to shout about it, my friends stopped playing, since the official servers are not playable, and they do not want to play mod garbage. It's all sad, the entire online sits on comunity servers, what is the point of them dealing with official servers?
Here is my month of playing on Livonia, I meet cheaters more often than regular players. Better prepare $27 soon, they have to live for something

"You are not providing a professional product to the consumer." this is so 10 out of 10

I want to talk to Dayz community. Everyone from a fresh spawner to expirienced 20k hours veteren.

Yes, you, exactry you, on the other side of the screen. Don't you think it's time to unite?
Don't you think it's time to do something about it?
How much more are you ready to cope with all this?
Wigh countless hours of looting for nithing, with killing from nowhere by no one, with taking out all your stashes at once no matter how good they are?
HOW MUCH MORE I ASK YOU?

If you sick of that as much as I am, if you think these guys does not care enough about this, if you don't want to deal with that anymore - DON'T BE SILENT

Write something, help to raise this topic, help to push it through, HELP TO MAKE THEM KNOW that they finally need to do something about it.

ALL IS IN OUR HANDS. IF we keep doing nothing, saying nothing - NOTHING WILL CHANGE
only lonely reports like this from time to time.

DON"T BE CARELESS, THIS IS YOUR GAME, a game that you love with all your heart for emotions that it gave to you, all the best memories for this 10 YEARS
IT DEPENDS ON YOU, EACH ONE OF YOU,

SO LET US FINALLY RAISE OUR VOICE
AS A COMMUNITY
AS ONE
AND KICK SOME MOTHER*%@^NG ASSES

This is pretty much my experience whenever I play on officials. And has been for four to five years. Good video.
