hegysk 1 Posted March 5, 2014 Hi guys, can anyone tell me what is eventually an admin capable of ingame? I mean, does he have (can he have?!) any advantages in sense of gameplay, mainly combat?Happened to me several times we joined with friends some servers to hop Balota airfield and have some adrenaline fun there, we had always 2 snipers hidden in very good spots overwatching whole airfield, everytime we had some fun, action, shootut, everything fair, sometimes we died, sometimes we killed 20 guys, vary situations happened, we got a lot of experiences "how to combat", but, we also met some guys probably "admins" which were able to VoIP worldwide. Every time we met this guy(s) something strange has happened, we always died but dont consider this as a whine, I just want to know what am I facing... I provide you an example situation:Guy standing in front of me with friend, hiding behind hangar after our snipers shot his friend, "facing" us with his back and yelling some russian stuff in global voip (admin i guess) we counted on 3 and started to shot his back with multiple shots, he didn't die, just prone and then he started to laugh in voip (???) and then, one of our undercover unspotted snipers died (no clue how, just "you are dead" message), I just decided to save his full loaded pristine eq mosin but instantly after his death server was shut down...Are admins having an advantage of gameplay in some kind of way?

novogeek 253 Posted March 5, 2014 As far as I know, they don't have a game play advantage but can do things like kick and ban. They can also restart the server in order to try and prevent the hive being updated and as such ensuring they keep their gear. They could also enable scripts that they have access to and configure them in such a way without it triggering the anti-cheat system ... but I suspect this is not the case or is not an easy thing to do. I am not aware of admins have a "invulnerability" mode or something like that ... but I stand under correction. If you suspect admin abuse, your best bet is to report the server or the admins ... but at the moment because of the status of the development, there is not much that will be done. Good luck.

Hrki 94 Posted March 5, 2014 Those "spots" are most common... You can prevent dieing if you are energized, hydrated and healathy (manualy you wont instant dead if you arent shoot in head or 99bullets in you) you will fall in comma. Admins can:1. kick players2. manual restart servers so there is no need for hopping3. quick restart when he died so when it rollback you he will be allive .... and one day if private hive comes you will have planty of options to add or ban on server but you wont be GODLIKE Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hegysk 1 Posted March 5, 2014 Okay, I understand, I think he could be shot but there wasn't even any sound of shot, even the second sniper which was pretty near didnt hear any shot, this is what I heard on TS, but, what I seen is plenty of gunshots to back of guy "admin" (the guy talking worldwide) with no result, eventually It could be a glitch but he didn't try to escape, he was fooling us and having tons of fun on us unloading our magaiznes into him.... Afterwards misteryous death of 1 of our snipers, then I decided this shootout is somehow strange/unfair and asked friend to watch "the guy" while I was about to revive the mosin, but instantly no server message appeared. End of story. I dont know what was going on there, since you say admins doesn't have any, lets say TEST MODE, then this was very strange situation.... Nevermid at all I just wanted to know :) ty Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DayZ is NOT about being fair ... its dirty, its survival ... its about instincts.

Nope. ;)Have a nice daysyr Edited March 5, 2014 by syrakh Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CrazyCorky 40 Posted March 5, 2014 Most likely is a hack involved. There are hacks available for god mode and ESP and god knows what else. It sucks.. but as long as there are online games script kiddies will find a way! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
