Just when I think a server is un-scriptable. (<Is that even a word)

[TheDayZViking 2]

(I'd been playing on this server for a few days and had never encountered a scripter/hacker before, even the admin himself claimed the server was invincible to those types of things.)

 

I heard some shots when riding a bike through the woods the other day, they sounded pretty far away so I didn't think anything of it. (I was in the middle of nowhere)

 

I ride past a few trees and next thing I know I'm being shot at by an MG, I got off my bike and hid behind a tree (had an M14) and I popped the bastard.

 

At this point I thought "What are the chances of someone just being out here ready to ambush me? It's not like I announced my location." (Note that the guy who killed me had died about 5 minutes earlier and where I was was not a spawn location and there is no way he could just find an MG and manage to get out where I was that quickly)

 

I then rode for a little while longer and was heading for the NWAF, I stopped the bike off on a random dirt track because I heard a heli, it flew right overhead but didn't stop, I then proceeded to type into chat something like "Man, it's intense when a heli flys over you, you don't know if its after you or someone else." I got back on my bike and started to ride when I was suddenly shot at with another MG, this time from right behind me. He actually hit me and I jumped off my bike with a broken leg, I took a few shots at him but he wasn't there, I quickly looked side to side to make sure he hadn't moved position within the treeline, all of a sudden he came charging from my right side even though there was no way he managed to get out there into the open to get to me. He quickly shot me and I was killed. I furiously typed "Man, that's some bullshit!" into sidechat after I had respawned and he said something like "Oh sorry man, my friend had told me someone killed him out here on a bike and I saw a white flash go past me so I assumed you were the killer". About 10 minutes later after I had gathered some things, the guy who killed me starts saying in sidechat "Anybody who can guess the number I'm thinking of gets a reward!" Nearly everyone in the server was guessing, coincidentally (or was it) , I won. (The answer was 72) I was then teleported to the NWAF where there was this guy in the exact same clothes as the guy who killed me and he had my weapon I had before I died, he aims his gun at a huey and types "Take it" I climbed in and it was fully repaired and fueled.

 

He then disappeared, I assume he teleported.

 

Totally hidden secret message.

No server is "Unscriptable". Welcome to Arma 2.

[Fraggle (DayZ) 15720]

If an admin told me his server was un-scriptable I'd laugh in his face.

 

Arma is designed specifically to be scriptable and DayZ is a mod of that game.

 

Of course some admins are better than others and the good ones can give their playerbase a largely trouble-free environment to play in but the fact is there's always the potential for shinnanigans.

 

If you've played for many hours without issue on that server then stick with them as long as it continues.  If it starts to become an issue find somewhere else =)

I once played on a server with 1337 antihacks and once I was being stalked by someone I couldn't see, using a voice changer.

Turns out it was a hacker in a bunny skin.
