Demoth 366 Posted January 20, 2014 Here's the scenario, helping me out. I'm on a roof of an apartment of Berezino. There is only one other building that tall and I can see no one is on it. I'm in the middle of the roof, but all of the sudden bullets start raining down around me. Alright, I duck, but then I'm shot in the leg.... in the middle of the roof, with no one having a vantage point. It wasn't a Mosin because it was steady M4 fire. Alright, I crawl myself to the ladder, get on the ladder, get halfway down and then I get shot in the back. I was in 3rd person and no one was in the building floor I was coming down.... So is there wall hacking? Was is possibly massive lag? What the hell happened? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Inception. 9443 Posted January 20, 2014 Perfectly possible you just didn't see your shooter. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Metalunatic 25 Posted January 20, 2014 (edited) pbo hacker maybe. Edited January 20, 2014 by Metalunatic Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tooeasyy 5 Posted January 20, 2014 Sounds like you were killed by some guy who deleted his .pbo files... its okay thats getting fixed soon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DoxHoliday 51 Posted January 20, 2014 Yeah sounds like PBO hack. It looks like this is going to be addressed in the next patch: http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/165709-pending-changelog-experimental-branch-031114343/ "New: Signature verification against PBO's."...will hopefully verify existence/condition/checksum of local PBO files on the client during startup.

Demoth 366 Posted January 20, 2014 Perfectly possible you just didn't see your shooter. Don't get me wrong, this IS not unrealistic. It's just that from where I was, and when I went back on an empty server, I can't see where he would have gotten the vantage point to shoot me while I was prone on the roof. The closest crane was well over a half kilometer and he was not facing any window went I was going down the ladder, and it's when I was halfway down the ladder, compeletely unexposed, is when he got me. Just boggling. If it was a PBO, that's really frustrating. Yes yes, it's an alpha, but hackers drove away a HUGE chunk of players from DayZ mod (Obviously it still has a strong following, but if they can't stamp out the majority of them then this game is doomed).

You had people leaving the mod due hackers and you had people joining the mod. And people find exploits in any game this is also a reason why a public alpha is good. All these hackers want to instantly sell their stuff to people yet when the game comes out as a final all these exploits should be fixed. So be glad they are doing their stuff no instead of in a finished game. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All these hackers want to instantly sell their stuff to people yet when the game comes out as a final all these exploits should be fixed. So be glad they are doing their stuff no instead of in a finished game.Because it's an alpha I try not to get too attached to things. Obviously I'm expecting to die from bugs and glitches, exploits and stupid nonsense. That goes with the territory of playing and testing an unfinished product. But in this game I can't stress enough how important it is to have this stuff sorted out immediately. This game can basically require an insane amount of time investment. Unlike an MMO, or Counter Strike / Call of Duty, getting murdered here means losing everything. Dying to exploits and unfair BS in an MMO can be stressful, but imagine if every time you died you lost your entire character. While some might find that thrilling, no one would play if hacking ran rampant. The closest thing I can compare this to, in terms of investment with the potential to lose it all, was playing Diablo II hardcore. Thing was, your character was always saved on their servers, so if someone cheat-killed you, you could petition to have it looked at and possible get your character back.
