Holy Shit that was the scariest one I've seen yet! Never heard her talk before!

Happened to me to on US server. I logged out instantly. Wasn't about to risk a firefight for some stupid hacker bullshit! Logged back into a different server, spawned me at the airport too, funny thing is i was on the coast with a hatchet so saved me the run.

I noticed it when i changed setting in game. Didn't happen when i changed them in arma 2: OA and then quit and loaded up DayZ

Thanks, that was very helpful. As to the light. It was very cloudy, maybe foggy even. Is that how it is during that type of weather pattern. I kinda feel like the color was greyed out and colorless. My blood count is at about 10k, so I don't think it had to do with bloodloss. And the car/tent question. Do I have to log back into the same server that I saved the car/tent on to maintain my gear in the car/tent, or does that not matter?

Okay so I just started playing about a week ago and I have a couple of questions. 1) I was playing on a US server running along the beach and suddenly i was teleported to a camp site. A message popped up and said welcome to the thunderdome. I'm assuming this was the work of hackers, so i logged out and logged back in to a different server. When I logged back in I was at the airfield. So question one I guess is; Am I right about the hackers, and does this happen often? 2) I found a car in the middle of the field. Hopped in and it drove. Do cars spawn in working condition, or did I find someone else car and steal it? Also what's this about saving the car? I hit save and was'nt sure what it did. I was shot to death in the car so I don't know what happened. 3) I've found a tent pitched in the wilderness too. It was empty, I hit save also. (still not sure what that does) 4) I think that servers follow real time daytime/nighttime settings, is that correct? I've played on a few US servers at night and they were daytime, also played during the day and it was night in the server. How does that all work? Can certain servers pick what time of day they want to play on, and can you find out what time of day the server is on before choosing it? Last server I played had a bright glow on all horizons, is this an artificial light source? 5) Is there a gamewide chat function? (typing and speaking?) I've logged into a server a few times and i've heard people talking over my speaker, then I log in and nothing. Is that just a glitch? Anyways, I think that's all the questions I have for now. Thanks for all the help in advance.
