Mark Darkers 151 Posted July 20, 2014 Hey, I would like to share the event my friend and I were in today. While hiking from black mountain towards north west airfield (both geared with akm's, I had 2 mags and my friend had 2 mags and a drum) we came across a lonely player in the woods, running towards us. He grabbed his mosin and started shooting, while sprinting and I mean sprinting not jogging. So we instantly grabbed our weapons, split up went for cover and took turns into firing, I shot him twice in the legs, he started bleeding and my friend emptied his drum mag on his tree, he got hit at least 8 times counting his blood spraying out of his body.But his gear still looked pristine, also a mosin only carry's 5 rounds in the clip and he kept shooting at one second intervals without reloading a single time, eventually he shot my friend in the head. Meanwhile I flanked around him saw the blood coming from the tree, and crawled closer, 20 seconds passed in the meantime and when I arrive at the tree, no one was there. Now he couldn't have logged out because the timer was 30 seconds, but lets give the benefit of the doubt and lets say he logged out, he could not have run away because he either had to cross a major open field in which I would see him, or come past me in the tree line. I waited for about 10 min to clear surrounding trees, went to my friends body, took his gear, since it was a head shot everything was still good. Out of curiosity, now loaded with 4 mags and a drum, I waited nearby behind a bush to see if the person would be stupid enough to log back in. No one showed up, at the moment I was about to move, something right of me caught my eye, it was that player, now coming from across the field, on his way to loot my already looted dead friend. I stayed still waited for him to loot the body, lowered my bipod, took aim (keep in mind I was only 10 meters away from him, he did not notice me) and opened up fire, I hit him multiple times in the back. He started running, I retook my aim and shot again, but in front of my eyes he popped away, like a ghost, gone. Instantly I got shot by a Mosen from the right of me and there he was, same guy, bleeding as hell. I broke my leg, reloaded a clip and shot at his chest (he was right next to me about 5 meters away). Multiple bullets landed his chest, he was now a walking fountain, his clothes still pristine. suddenly he popped back to my left and on my right another guy popped in with an akm, not logging in, popping in ready to shoot. I was bleeding, out of ammo (all went into that one guy) and before I got a final blow 3 more fully geared people with akm's popped next to the other guy, in an open field. They took aim and open fired, everything went black, I did not log out yet, they kept shooting for about a minute without reloading. My friend and I where live for about two weeks and we met our end by a group of hackers.I don't know about you guys, but in my opinion if you suck so much at a game that even in a group you need hacks to survive, it would be better to not play at all and let the people who enjoy the game enjoy the game. Some of you might say desync, but every one was at 0 desync. This was just a hacker with godmode, unlimited ammo, who teleported away, warned his friends and teleported back. First time ever in my playing time (over 320 hours) that I meet a hacker, but man it is lame as hell. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zarr (DayZ) 0 Posted July 20, 2014 Your post is fine and quite clear. Don't sweat that. Sucks to hear and it's something I fear whilst wandering about off the beaten track like I do.That there's people out there who can find you - no matter where you are or simply rip your gear from your person using a script. The fact that not only did this KOS/POS interrupt you and your friends gameplay/time together - but they didn't even have the cahones to fight fairly. You're right in this regard 100%:I don't know about you guys, but in my opinion if you suck so much at a game that even in a group you need hacks to survive, it would be better to not play at all and let the people who enjoy the game enjoy the game. It's pathetic - but also consider it necessary to a degree: At least in the Alpha stage the dev's are hopefully compiling enough data from instances such as this to be able to combat it or counter it in the future.Sad all the same though. There will always be those who fail so bad they need to break the game just to have "fun"....Honestly I'd rather die to a game glitch or someone giving me a fair fight than that nonsense. Peace and good luck to you.Hope the fresh start is fun and you guys have a good enough time to leave this bad experience behind you - forgotten. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mark Darkers 151 Posted July 20, 2014 At least in the Alpha stage the dev's are hopefully compiling enough data from instances such as this to be able to combat it or counter it in the future.Well yes, that is indeed true. Lets just hope the devs gather the right amount of data. Then our deaths are not completely in vain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zombie Milkman 167 Posted July 20, 2014 Some of you might say desync, but every one was at 0 desync. This was just a hacker with godmode, unlimited ammo, who teleported away, warned his friends and teleported back. First time ever in my playing time (over 320 hours) that I meet a hacker, but man it is lame as hell. That is lame, but what is funny to me is that they actively destroy the joy behind the game, or just plain "don't get it." Think about this, this game is not even close to the pure joy of the better 1st person shooters out there. Whatever your passion, be it COD, BF, hell even Half Life 2, they offer more if that's your thing. So one would think that the pure 1pp shooting experience is not the main draw. Is it the zombies? How could it be? There's like max, MAX 4 zombies per town/base/area. So right now who can honestly say that they play this game because of zombie hunting? So really, what challenge, what interesting thing is there to lure someone to give up their final moments on this earth to play this game? The challenge of the PvP part of the game would be my answer. But, now introduce cheats and hacks so you hit the easy button on that part of the game and what does it leave you with? Really, what does that person get from the game at this point? They have rendered this game nothing less than a romp through a broken sandbox where their joy is apparently to step on other people's daisies. In effect, they have turned this game into choosing to press a [0] or [1] for hours on end. It does not get any lamer than that. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

First time ever in my playing time (over 320 hours) that I meet a hacker, but man it is lame as hell. I blame the OP here. He tried to destroy the fun of the hacker squad by living and defending himself. That is against all natural rules. If you don't learn how to die properly, how can the rest of us enjoy the game? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LimeMobber 47 Posted July 20, 2014 Gaming hackers are just people with self esteem problems who revel in the anonymity of the internet and the power a few download programs (generally written by people smarter than them) give them in a game. There really is nothing you can do. As game code evolves the hackers evolve. Eventually, maybe, if DayZ gets far enough they will tighten up the security enough that this wont be a problem. Most of the hacks are fairly simple to combat. The server should be constantly checking things and deleting all gear then kicking the player once we are out of Alpha. Until then I hope you one day get to do what I did. I met someone who bragged about how he cheated at games, he was a "hacker" as he put it, though he admitted that all he did was download other peoples hack programs. At that point I verbally humiliated him in front of everyone that was there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I mean even most altis life servers and arma 3 servers have a script running to check all the gear on players and can detect spawned-in items or hacked items. Maybe they should hit whoever wrote those scripts up for some info lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kakysas666 191 Posted July 21, 2014 To me it looks like a major server desync and bad aiming at your end. If hacker bleeds, he doesn't have god mode. You are probably spent those 300 hours on a broke back mountain with your friend, not playing the game. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Funny how can you be so sure, that hacker with god mode on can not bleed....I smell something fishy here...Btw nice pun with that "Green" mountain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
