5 of us just suddenly laying down dead from 12k hp? Funny bug. Hasn't ever happened to me at any point since I've had the game for a good while now, nor any friends of mine who play more than I do.

I don't really follow forum memes or anything. Is this just sarcasm or is there literally just ridiculous amounts of hacking in every US server?

Literally nearly every death lately has been due to a hacker. This is getting really old now, luckily my girlfriend recorded one of the instances we were killed by one. In this video we are travelling to a friend by foot, and, as you witness near the ending fourth of the video we happen to start getting shot at. The perspective is not from my own, but hers, and as I recall he disappeared after I clearly hit him with a DMR 5 times. I assume he disconnected, when suddenly we all simply lay down dead one after the other, myself at 12k blood and no wounds appearing, just suddenly at some kind of negative blood. No gunshots, no anything. Another moment, which literally just occurred, appeared to be someone who shot me out of a vehicle on a server of 7 people (US 509 Atlanta), 5 of which were my friends and myself. It was some kind of high powered rifle, a CZ maybe, where I was instantly headshotted out of the driver seat of a bus barrelling down a road. As I type this, another friend, who had died earlier due to a proning bug that caused him to run off a roof to his death instead of proning, was killed in Electro by the same rifle. He said someone just ran straight up to him and shot him. My friend says all he had on him was a rifle. This was all in pitch black night time. Stories I've read about people getting telepoted and killed 7 times in one sitting playing the game (a couple hours for most). The hackers are ruining this game for me, and I find myself experiencing severe buyer's remorse. I don't know why I keep trying to play, hoping that I can do what is intended without having some exploiting jerk ruining my fun, but it is becoming less and less appealing with each story and each death via hacker. Is there such little security for the game? Is there any kind of future plans for better anti-hacker stuff? Were the DayZ team to go from mod to retail, would I expect the same, were I to even buy the game? Sorry for the rant, and if this is in the wrong spot I apologize, but this was intended to be a general kinda thing and not hacker reporting.
