    This is footage recorded a couple weeks ago on an experimental server. I meet a group of Russian players that kidnap & torture me.

    Good laugh. One thing tho - Punching won't work if you are wearing a helmet. I think worst you can do is cause mild bleeding, not sure tho.
    Anyway here's a funny bug regarding helmets.

    Why is Frankie a ballbag?

    Anyone who is popular is a Ballbag and it is fashionable to hate on Popular Youtubers.

    He did had an issue with hacking accusations, but even then, his content is very entertaining.

    A lot of popular Youtubers are ballbags, its not a conspiracy against YouTubers!

    I think Frankie is fine regardless of the hacking accusations - at the end of the day he's an entertainer, not a professional MLG player.

    There are a lot of ballbags on Youtube such as Tmartn, AliA, Woody etc. Frankie isn't one of them.

    There's no excuse for hacking, lots of youtubers were able to make entertaining content without having to resort to it.

    Exactly! This 100%. Nothing to do with popularity. There is never an excuse for hacking, the whole "He does it to create entertainment" argument is weak. There are plenty of great content creators out there that don't cheat.

    Personally I spend hours & hours playing these type of games & even more hours editing footage to create films. You may not find my stuff or other guy's films "entertaining" but it's the exact same, it's made for entertainment purposes.

    Would it be right if all content creators started to use cheats to create "entertainment"? Nope!

    Dude, I watch your videos but the argument that it doesn't matter if he's hacking is not weak. You assume there's some kind of principle behind it - there's not. It's simply entertainment. There's no nobility in it. It equates pointing the finger at Hollywood and saying, "ah sure, their stories aren't real...they paid someone to say that".

    First things first, it was never proven that there was hacking. And secondly, I have far more disdain for people that will willfully throw any old ****e on their channel just because there is money in it. FrankieonPC1080p is one of the better commentators out there and he himself has made no secret that he likes to act out his DayZ videos as sort of a movie. To that end, it's pure entertainment.

    If you don't think it's right then fair enough. But if you were to "set up" events for pure entertainment, then I wouldn't jump down your throat. If you want to tell a story, brilliant! Beats sitting in a bush for 40 mins.

    Ktulu hacks.


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 3,092 Mod ✭✭✭✭ktulu123


    Thanks for watching my stuff :) The reason I find that argument weak is this. Have you/anyone else reading ever been killed by a hacker & complained about the bastard? Frankie/hackers using these cheats are actually ruining the gaming experience for the rest of us.

    I have zero issues with Frankie creating stories, setting up scenarios or acting stuff out to record. I have done so myself on occasion on a smaller scale(Christmas Caroling, server events etc). That is not the issue it is the fact that he used hacks to get footage which as far as I am concerned are 100% true after seeing the video which compared a hackers footage(The flashing icon thing) to frankies footage & the two were the exact same. He had an argument that it was a rendering/editing issue. As an experienced editor that was absolute waffle!

    So just to clarify, I have no issue with him setting up story situations, it is the hacking aspect. Also I do enjoy his BF4 videos & some of the Stand Alone stuff.

    He is still a ballbag though :P

    Telling a story doesn't have to come at the expense of other players.

    Now if you were to say he went into a private server, with his friends and staged his videos there to make them entertaining, and have them like "movies", grand. That's not the way he does it though.
    Public servers, with real players. Nobody gets a pass on that regardless of their reasoning behind it.

    Ah no now, I agree with you absolutely 110%. Getting killed by hackers and teleportation Gangnum style crap is soul destroying.

    But if you were to get the admin to send you in gear to show us and explain the different weapons etc. That is not something I'd be against. So long as you don't interfere with the rest of the players then you're absolutely fine. :)

    Every time that happens I scream over VON for people not to shoot, to my surprise it actually works... sadly it's the hacker that finishes the job.
    Still it counts for something, right? :pac:

    The amount of people that can't seem to comprehend that Dean isn't taking off right now and leaving DayZ. He's staying for as long as the project needs him. He got death threats and everything.

    Downloading at the moment :)

    Can anybody suggest a good server with high loot and maybe some Irish players ?

    The Irish Guard or IrishDayz 24/7 Daylight. :)

    Also, the fact that there is a m1911 in the game now should be enough reason to come back and play x


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,884 ✭✭✭Tzardine


    Is anybody having problems loading ammo into weapons. I have a 1911 and a double rifle. I have the correct ammo but it wont load. It is saying it wont fit ?


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,031 ✭✭✭Cravez


    Have you found a clip for the 1911? You find alot of .45 ACP bullets laying around but you need a magazine to put the bullets in first.

    The double rifle uses the 7.62x51 rounds. I am not sure if you need the clip loader to actually load the bullets in, I wouldn't think so considering the clip loader is an attachment.

    If you don't have a M1911 magazine you'll need to find one to load the bullets into the magazine and then the magazine into the gun.

    If you have the 7.62x51 rifle rounds, manually drag the ammo over the rifle to see if you can manually chamber the rounds in.
