So I am at NWAF and....

[huf757 82]

I run into this guy and a fire fight ensues.  I hit him and he runs off at breakneck speed. I like whoa but then chock it up to lag and dsync on his end my ping was 18 on this server.  I stay on guard looking for him and I see him again  and start firing again boom hes gone. I then hear a mosin shooting but he is a horrible shot cause the rounds are not landing close to me at all. I can not locate him so I just run off not wanting to deal with this guy in case he is hacking.  All the while I have my head on a constant pivot looking for someone following me.  After about 2 minutes of running all of a sudden from behind me a guy appears (the same guy)  he shoots and misses some more as I pull my gun (I was running empty handed to run fatser) he gets a shot on me. Finally I have my gun drawn figuring why am I trying to shoot this hacker what good will it do he must have god mode as they always had in the mod.  Well I hit him and I hear the hurt sound come from him. It is at this point I think hey I must have a chance. So hes firing at me I am dancing around  trying not to get hit with the second shot that would kill me and then he stops to reload the mosin. I am like hell ya this is my chance.  Well I unload the clip in him he's not dying and then the most bizzare thing happens he stops to bandage in the middle of a fire fight so I reload and the next 30 rounds out of my ak101 killed him.  Now obviously this was no hacker but all awhile I was fighting him he is moving from point a to point b at break neck speeds making it impossible to hit him.  I am guessing he was using a speed hack.  Is this what we are calling hackers? If so we do not have much to worry about cause they are bad.  Yes this was my first ever encounter since realease with any type of person with  hacks or scripts that I know of. I never go to berezino by the way.  I am not in to pure death matching.

Straight to "it was hacks" once again.

Just sharing my story as I said in my story I did not think this was a hacker but using a speed hack possibly. I also am not crying or screaming are making useless statements such as yours.  I simply wanted to share my story and possibly receive some feedback of the constructive nature.  Maybe you should practice such. It would serve you better through out your daily endeavours.

Well now u have pissed him off and he will probably be back with a full god mode hack ha ha.

Yes I was thinking this too. So after the fire fight I went to a safe location and logged off and ended up here for the time being :D

I am so sick of all the speed hackers. Who the fuck is getting rich off of selling all these speed hacks?

Dayz must be breaking records for most hacks ever purchased for an alpha. They are world champions.

problem with this game at the moment is theres so much lag and shit going on ya cant tell if its hacking or not! I saw hacking in the mod, not sure if the laggy crap ive seen in standalone is hacking at this stage

So far I've heard enough stories of confirmed (or very close to that) hacking, glitching or abuse of certain game mechanics to know or assume that any server you hop on, you can be next. In bare theory, must the chance would be higher on high-pop servers. I think I saw one incident firsthand so far, some wallglitcher shoting at us. Playing with big groups also certainly confirms this "cancer". If you don't go to an operation but hear the guys being slaughtered live (without being there) is somewhat annoying.

 

Again, I refer to all reports where it can be safely assumed that foul play was going on, nothing "uncertain" where someone simply was better. Funny thing though, most of the people, from what I heard, suck at the same time.

 

So, I guess, the majority of people who refer to cheating software or ways just suck and / or are butthurt (they must get some satisfaction out of it if it works). I even got it partially confirmed. Many dupers out there going to PVP hotspots armed up like Rambo³, and yet they still get their asses handed to them by less geared players. But I hope that we'll see a bit less of that next patch, when some purges will occur.

 

Anyway, in short: Most of them suck. They'll hopefully get banned and, in the end, have to pay more than they get out of their relatively short "kicks".

It may not be easy, but when I play with my friends and we get desync/lag (often enough) they don't start running around fast to catch up to the actual location when we get synced again, they simply get teleported there (seen from my client). If you see someone running in extreme speed for more than 1 sec, I'd say cheater. Now if you see someone teleport around like an idiot, there is still teleportation hacks, pretty convincing videos, in the hacker threat, so:

 

There is a pinned threat for this in the General Discussion.

I've had my fair encounters with hackers. Mind you these guys didn't run fast or anything. The most recent one. My buddy got shot so we headed to church so he could heal. We go inside and make sure that it's clear. We close the door, and he bandages up. I ask him to cover the door as I inject saline into him. Out of nowhere I see a guy appear out of thin air to my right. He proceeded to shoot up down like dogs. Things like that are just horrible. But you won't stop people from using scrips to take a big advantage. I'm aware of all the exploits that are in game at the moment. Glitches people use in airfields and certain towns. I'm fine with that since these glitches are exploitable by everyone. But things like teleporting are just poopoo.
