Randomdude818 2 Posted April 14, 2014 I was running around looting and decided to log off for a bit, because the server kept disconnecting and it was getting on my nerves. I proned in a house to check my inventory one more time, to see that I had everything there. For the first time, I had a lot of stuff for surviving and I was having fun. Maybe 3 minutes after I logged off, I decided I might as well just play more. I joined a different server (Because I was disconnected from the other one). I joined and instantly got bombarded with messages: "I feel nauseous", I think my leg is broke", and "I'm dying of starvation" (I still had the "Energized" however which is the buff I logged off with). Is this some sort of server scam to kill off your characters or is it some sort of bug or what? Pretty sure I was dying because my vision was blurry and shaking, but I had no bleeding debuffs or anything. I left pretty fast in fear my character would die, after the first time I had actually successfully survived. Can someone help me? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DedicateDdos 50 Posted April 14, 2014 Unless the text was red, then it's legit. You may have been slightly maimed by a zed. Though I have to add I was running through a field once with my friend when the server restarted, when we logged back in I had a broken arm, so there's no way of really telling.

erocker 87 Posted April 15, 2014 It's probably best not to log off in houses right now. Sometimes you will respawn under the floor, or in your case in a wall that decided to bond with you at a molecular level causing your character great pain! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sm00tje 88 Posted April 15, 2014 Go into the woods wait for 3-5 minutes if anything is following you, hide in a tree, feel free to log out. Can't be said enough times. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If not, it was the server MOTD trolling you and you fell for it. Edited April 15, 2014 by Caboose187 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Geckofrog7 1168 Posted April 15, 2014 Sounds like the server messages...I got one before that said "I shit my pants." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Caboose187 (DayZ) 3036 Posted April 15, 2014 Sounds like the server messages...I got one before that said "I shit my pants."I had on my server for a while "I'm watching you""Don't turn around""I'm right behind you" But I've decided to remove them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Randomdude818 2 Posted April 15, 2014 So, were your legs actually broken? If not, it was the server MOTD trolling you and you fell for it.Sorry, i'm pretty new to DayZ, and I didn't know better. Can't remember if the text was red or not, but I thought it was white. At least I KNOW the "You are dying of starvation" was certainly in white. No doubts about it, I sat there staring at it for like 45 seconds, switching in and out of my inventory, still seeing that I was "energized". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So did you come back to a dead character or is everything good? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Randomdude818 2 Posted April 15, 2014 Update: CERTAINLY SERVER TROLL. Text was white, but after a little bit the message popped up: "I wish Obama wasn't president anymore" and "I think i shit my pants" 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Windex 13 Posted April 17, 2014 Unless the text was red, then it's legit. There are plenty of servers that convincingly fake status messages. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
