I was sitting in Castle Zub with some of my friends, we just fixed up a bus and a car, when i see something move across the field down in Mogilevka, i yell "survivor" into skype and one of my friends comes next to me with his rangefinder. I aimed down my AS50 and he said he was 1 kilometer away. i ranged in and followed him, he was running away from zombies. I aimed into his walkpath and shot, about 1 second later i see a bloodfountain comming from his hip and he collapses. +1 murder on my score. All hell broke loose in Skype and we sent one of us to loot that poor bugger, he had NVGs, GPS and all that good shit. I was the hero of the group for that night.

I know that feeling all too well, i think of myself as a coldhearted, lone wolf. But even as that you sometimes have to endure respawn. I respawned at the coast after having some admins hunt me down for being a bandit, I found and AK-74 and 4 clips for it, a British backpack and some medical loot in cherno. As i was making my way towards the firestation and past a couple of bodies (not my kills) i see some bambi with a hatchet running around. No real threat to me, but he had a bigger backpack. I aimed at him and he spotted me. "Friendly! Please don't shoot!" comes through the voice chat. It was at that moment when i felt something in me die. The bloodlust was gone. There i am in the middle of a field next to the firestation with that bambi and his hatchet. His backpack might have been full of neat loot that i surely could've used, but i just couldn't kill him. I turned around and ran away, climbed up on a small roof, watched him loot the firestation and run off into the distance.

Agreed, i got my skin after spawning in Elektro and killing the same guy 3 times. First when he tried to loot the Firestation and then 2 more times while he was trying to recover his corpse from the first death. (I was not camping, i was making my way out of Elektro and he had the bad luck to always run into me after spawning, he always was armed with some sort of weapon aswell. I'm calling it self defence :P)

I'm a bandit and so far i've always been able to turn the table and become the hunter rather than the prey, but 2 days ago i was just restocking after a respawn on a server. I got hunted down by the admins each time i respawned, they used hacks to get me, teleporting all over the map and circling the skies with a helicopter that isn't even in the mod. To all Bandits, stay away from DE 383. The mods there think they are a higher authority.

I've had this problem since 1.7.6.1, but only on some servers. to fix it i usually just pick a server with a high population, since logic dictates that where's people playing, shit is working just fine. It's not a problem that any of us could solve, it's a serverside problem that only admins and hosts can fix.

How close were you?

Ironsights are the cautious and patient man's friend. I always use them if i spot some prey, but before aiming down i always make sure that noone else is around and spending more than a few seconds sighted down is usually the way to get yourself killed. Use your Ironsight like you use your trigger, in short bursts with checking your surrounding in between.

Yeah, the game has reached a new low in my opinion, i loved all the new fixes and additions with the last patch but it seems like just as the game get's better, hackers find a new way of ruining fun once an for all.

Well ain't that just peachy, now i have something far more dangerous to worry about than hackers and scripters, Hackers with Nukes... Guess i was lucky to die and then whitness it from far away rather than to die in the blast.

the weirdest shit so far.

yep, i did ask for it. Event 13 I was filming for my Let's play when 2 hackers teleport behind me and kill me, cought it on camera. As i respawn, still recording, i start making my way towards Komarovo when suddenly the sky goes black and seconds later a flash of light followed by the rumble of a shockwave, my in-combat timer triggered, even though noone was around me for miles. The chat went crazy with Death-messages and i am just standing there in the middle of nowhere, confused and scared of what just happened. The icing on the Hacker cake would be the fact that International Hotel buildings started spawning in around Komarovo, tilted and at weird angles.

I will post the video of it here in this Thread as soon as it is uploaded. I will link it with the embedded timecode where it gets weird. I usually would post something like this in my own thread where i have a pile of weird stories but this one beats them all...

I asked for it... really did by saying i haven't seen anything weird in weeks... Event 12 I was in Cherno today, setting up to do some recording when a survivor runs out of the Firestation, i heard shots before so i set myself up on a rooftop and waited. I switched my M16A2 to Burst as i spotted him and gave him 3 bullets to the spine and as he dropped, 3 more to the chest. I then turned away to see if maybe someone else was around and when i turned back (was like 5-10 seconds of me not watching him), he was running away like nothing had happened, no blood-fountains from his body, no death-message in the chat, nothing. Even my Humanity rose instead of falling... i was really, really perplexed. About a minute later there's a Death-message in the chat but i can't be sure that this was my prey. I did some math aswell, a survivor has 12k blood. a shot to the torso with an M16A2 does 3.5k blood damage. The 6 bullets i put through him should've killed him right away... I don't understand this game anymore...
