Can somebody explain this?

[lun4tic 8]

Take a look at this three minute video, and help me understand a few issues.

1) Why does the hatchet have no effect 90% of the time?

2) How is the bandit able to float around?

3) Why didn't the bandit float around the second time he lept?

4) Why did his body and the nearby zombies despawn when he hit the ground?

5) Why had he come back to life on the ground, just to die again?

6) Why was only his backpack available to loot?

7) Why did his dead body despawn again?

1. HUGE lagg and or desync. Or hacks.

2. All of above.

3. See 1.

4. The zombies were going after him, because he shot. If zombies are after you, and you logg out, they disapear.

5. See 1.

6. Buggy server and/or Bug/glitch and or bugged game and or lagg.

7. Server sided, or: See 1.

Hope it helps you out, and If anybody has got something better, or disagree's with me please say so. :D

Lag and glitches caused by the fact that DayZ is mod.

Except number 1. You have to be extremely precise with the hatchet because it's a reskinned pistol.

Pretty much what has been said before, lag, glitches, desync, the fact that the hatchet is a pretty horribly inaccurate weapon. All that jazz. Although it almost appeared that he was a hacker... sort of. I mean, he seemed kind of relaxed with everything. Even after you hit him 3 times and he was gushing out blood, he was still pretty calmly just running back and forth, attempting to aim at you. It was pretty comical to be honest :P.

You were too close to him to hit hm with the hatchet, you need to be a bit away form things to hit them with the hatchet properly.

look where the reticule is when you swing the axe, you're actually missing 90% of swings.

[FinalNinja447 129]

Massive desync. The axe is also fairly inaccurate as you can see... Gotta hit dead on. What surprises me is the fact that the bandit was still standing after the first successful swing, he should have either been knocked out, borke his leg or at least SEVERLY damaged.
