Mark2 (DayZ)

Will have to make the most of the server while it's still around. Been on a few times this week, seems it still gets quite populated at times. Hopefully the rest of the crew return for the standalone

Sorry if you feel my post sounded like accusations, but if you re-read it I only relay how I read the situation as it happened, and I never pointed the finger at anyone in particular. I said a hacked "Seemed" to teleport as he wasn't there one second, then appeared behind us. At which point I closely watched the names of people dying to see which people weren't dying (to narrow down who MAY have been the hacker). After watching the connections list for a while I saw you guys leave, after which there was no more obvious signs of hacking while I was online. I'm not saying you guys were hacking (Which I didn't say in my original post either), I was merely relaying the situation as I observed it to give information to the Admins to help them track whoever was hacking. I don't directly accuse people unless I'm damn sure they're at fault, and if you read what I posted, I never directly accused anyone.

Breifly encountered a hacker who seemed to teleport, then kill a couple of us with something like a rocket/grenade launcher, and I saw a Neon green "laser" at the time too. Think he/they disconnected shortly after. Not sure who it was, but there was a couple of guys with "[bnP*}" tags that left shortly after it happened, and I didn't see any more hacking after that. Seemed suspicious. Met a friendly guy in Electro too who didn't shoot me, gave me a Makarov and we stumbled upon a M1014 which he let me take when he had only a double barrel shotgun. So if you see "PLAYER 1" online, he's a friendly (If not slightly crazy running around and firing a double barrel in the middle of Electro

I think the .50 cal they were using was the one they looted from me the first time they shot me. I couldn't leave until revenge had been had :P Don't steal my M107 and get away with it lol

I was around that area myself. Think my passenger and I were the first victims, then I was shot again trying to recover my gear. Managed to get back there unarmed and overwatch the massacre's before working my way around the mountain to rearm at a vehicle in the woods. Crept around towards the coast and spotted their sniper nest. Picked off one of them, then the other 2 left shortly afterwards. Got some of my gear back from the body and tent though.

Decent night around Cherno covering when I could. Watched over a standoff at one of the taller buildings before picking off a couple of guys up there. Then was relocated to the middle of no where. After aborting and rejoining, ran back towards Cherno for a solo overwatch before spotting a player at the TEC building (Crazyserb I believe). Was debating whether or not to take the shot, until he looked in my direction and didn't want to risk it. Just after getting the kill I was relocated nowhere again

Interesting night for me, logged in conveiniently about 400m from a couple of the guys, so joined them over to Northern Electro. Took down a Bandit before making a bad decision to check out some buzzing flies. Saw 3 bodies close to each other (Yea, I've learned), I became the 4th. Ran back, rearmed from the dead bandit while the guys scoped some people in the town. While I was crouched in a bush overwatching with Binoc's someone crept up behind me, and I THINK he took the M4 SD from my backpack, stood over me and shot me with it. Fair play if that's what he did, though Karma repaid when I got back and found what I think was his body making the 5th in the pile. Resupplied from my own body so that's alright for me.

And thus the curse was cast lol

Finally got my first sniper rifle kills last night, one of which being a 400m shot on a hacker with a hacked in M197 Gattling Gun. Though that came after 4 deaths in a night. 2 of which being mercilessly hacked to death with hatchets when I clealy had no weapon (Or significant gear) to speak of, and 1 death falling off a chimney...

Hope the hackers can be flushed out soon, for the sake of the server and the decent players we've encountered. I know the guys have been working hard to try to sort it out, so cheers guys! My longest surviving character to date was shot today by someone who claims to own a small town (Barn and a couple of houses) on the North west road (just north of Shalka). After dealing with a pack of zombies he Direct Comm'd me telling me to lie down, etc. Made me aware of a couple of Zombies before asking me to put my primary weapon on the ground. Then to drop my pistol, then to drop my backpack, or die. When asked to drop the backpack I made a bid for escape and was gunned down. Got a plan for the next time I encounter this situation though :P To be fair, it was a good shot on his part, though I prefer the tactic of "If you don't bother me, I wont bother you"
