street707 154 Posted October 20, 2014 I thought this was just a funny interaction with some players in Elektro until I realized that I had been Stream Sniped by some people who obviously don't like me. My personal opinion is that "Stream Snipers" are the lowest of the low when it comes to playstyles. My reason behind this is because the "Stream Snipers" have full knowledge and assessment of the situation before they even have to react. This makes their chances of success far greater then any skill or knowhow in any given situation. A Hacker/Cheater might know where you are and troll/kill you but they don't have foresight of the situation and knowledge of your actions by watching your every move and hearing your every thought. What do you think? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Elle 562 Posted October 20, 2014 didn't bother to watch. dude if you are going to stream your game live for the world to see and somehow let that world know what server you are on, expect someone to shoot you for it. don't wanna get sniped by a stream sniper? don't live stream your game or at least take measures to hide your server. pretty simple there bud. hackers and exploiters are still the lowest lifeforms in the game no matter how hurt your butt is. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MuchHigher 65 Posted October 20, 2014 (edited) Usually when I watch a DayZ streamer he hides the screen when he's joining/changing servers. The main reason, is to avoid that kind of stuff. It's going to happen, you just have to take precautions like Elle said. Sidenote: looks like the UN clan? They normally wear that gear, or I may be wrong. Haven't played on their server in a while.

Death By Crowbar 1213 Posted October 20, 2014 Let's talk about all of the matching press vests and other matching gear. It almost seems as if they dressed in "duplicate"? That's the dishonorable part. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Red_Ensign 990 Posted October 20, 2014 using out-of-game information to give you an advantage in a game is scummy. no question. doesn't matter what the game is. and going after a particular player like that is just lame and small. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LOL they obviously don't like me so they could have just said meet up here and we could have went toe to toe. My squad and I were all fresh spawns too. They were fully geared. If we were armed it would have been a great battle because I had guys spread all over elektro but none of us had more then an axe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
odin_lowe 3686 Posted October 21, 2014 Wow. Those guys know how to waste their time... You know where I stand Street, hackers, cheaters, stream snipers, they all fit in the "cheater" category for me. I really enjoy DayZ videos, and most video games videos, but I'm not that much into the whole streaming thing... By streaming you expose yourself to those kinda risks. Anyway, there's no honor, or a big lack of it, in a lot of online behaviors and interactions, and this is part of it too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I did some research and found them. Now what do I do with this information because I think some people would like it. LOL 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I thought the same thing afterwards. All wearing the same/similar gear. Definitely duping, no way they all took the individual time to get the gear and then troll people. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
