The Carnivore 12 Posted June 20, 2014 So I am at best an average player. So it doesn't surprise me that I have been shot and killed while scavenging at NWAF since 45 was rolled out. What has surprised me have been the two out of the blue friend requests I have gotten in Steam shortly after each death. My assumption is that after killing me, with no exchange of words, my (virtual) murderer sent me the request after studying my body in game to get my name.I'm not complaining about it. I am curious if anyone else has had this happen? Or perhaps done this to someone you'd killed in DayZ SA? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
emigrates 261 Posted June 20, 2014 Is your in-game name the same as your steam name? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Carnivore 12 Posted June 20, 2014 Partially. It always has been. If you open the steam overlay while in game you can get a list of all current players on the same server with you. You could, if you wanted to, send friend requests to everyone on the serve no matter what thier in game name is. I'm not concerned or vexed about it happening. I'm certainly not in the habit of friending people on steam that I have played along side or spoken too. I simply found it...oddly, slightly, interesting that it happened, as it has not before. Not in SA anyway. In Left 4 Dead, oh yeah. But not SA. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
frosti 2165 Posted June 20, 2014 (edited) There was one guy working on a "combat logger hunter" program that could track players by their steam name whenever they have left the server. Many people used that program to follow combat loggers/ghosters before log in timer and anti-combat log was introduced. Maybe this program got better and is in use to track down players name so after you kill them you can troll them on steam.

frosti 2165 Posted June 22, 2014 I've started to getting those random steam friends now too. Specially right after I kill someone. Something is up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That program does sound like the ultimate troll tool to be fair lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
