Not how I wanted to go out before the wipe...

[haknslash 763]

It's a sad day. I returned from a long beach vacation and fire up DayZ this morning in hopes of my old stable character to find an epic battle on the Green Mountain Sanctuary server before the upcoming wipe. As always I have the worst of luck on that server....

So long old friend. RIP

R.I.P. Gotta love lag....  To make it worst, you had just found another bi-pod in the middle hangar you entered before the other player came behind you.  :(

I suppose it could of been lag. My first thoughts was hacker as I don't think he had enough time run around that wall and go behind me. It's strange but I'm sure coincidence I died almost immediately after firing my rifle too.

I was just informed on reddit but I also didn't know that you can still put bipod a on M4's which Is why I thought my old character was still a unicorn lol. Apparently you can switch out the hand guards after a bipod has been mounted on RIS hand guard. Either way this character was since long before crash sites and was hoping he would go out with a big battle or something. Not to the hands of lag or a possible hacker but that's life in DayZ ATM.

Fixed.

 

Also, could have been lag as stated. If so, worst possible time for it.... condolences. :(

Oh don't take it so literal. I wasn't bashing on the game.

[☣BioHaze☣ 7337]

I didn't take it as bashing but I wanted to make a point.

 

Every single public online game I've played has had hackers.

 

Usually I've found, the larger the amount of players per server and in the game in general, the greater the chances for wide spread hacking.

 

Edit: Oh, and these are games long long past "complete" as well. Security patches never end.

I've thankfully not run into many hackers despite the large complaints of them in DayZ. Not sure if that's luck or the fact I tend to play mainly hardcore, maybe a little of both? I always play on high populated servers though because its no fun without the threat. :)

 

Curious though I just ran back to the spot I died from in Novo. There is no way he ran behind me in time because there is a fence and a wall so he would of had to run two buildings down plus run up a hill to shoot me. So either he lagged in front of me or he shot me through the wall.

Or there were simply two and the other one secured the escape route.

My thoughts as well after watching the video. OP ran into a fairly large open area, and then, without securing his back properly focused entirely on the gate.

Anything is possible. I just wished gun sounds worked for me like they used to. It seems I can never hear them anymore and all I hear are bullets whizz by. I died again later on to a group of guys blowing up a gas station. I thought it was just secondary explosions or maybe new spawn since I couldn't hear any gun fire but nope. Two guys mowed me down and I didn't hear a single shot except for bullets going by me.
