Aw3someness 0 Posted July 16, 2015 SO me and my two mates were just playing on 'DayZ UK 4-057 - Hosted by Fragnet' server. It was a full server and this happened... We were approaching Cherno from the West running along the beach. Shots were fired but no hits, no gun shots so we figured they were from Chap appartments. We took cover and then continued our run East. Upon reaching the white TEC building (we had our backs against the wall to the South West of the TEC) and multiple shots were fired. We had the East and West sides covered with binoculars and hunting scopes so the only place it could have been was the docks, we swept that earlier and figured people don't really camp there and was safe to move on, schoolboy error. Anyways one of out party (me) died and the other two managed to escape up the TEC building roof. I got a lucky respawn and my newly fledged Bambi made his way back to the TEC to maybe try and recover gear and or help in the inevitable battle. All sound pretty normal normal in a game of DayZ, right? My question is to the forums is...while Ii was running backas a Bambi, the other two were trapped like rats on the roof, one of the guys that killed me, made contact and referred to our two guys personally. Now unless I'm missing something, it's impossible to know a players name unless you physically interact with them, right? The plot thickens, When I arriving back at the TEC building as a Bambi, the same guy (he was Russian and was slanging some hate towards the Brits, but whatever) referred to me personally while he was 10-15m away? Can't be coincidence surely? Random Bambi's try to punch geared players all the time. How is it possible for one Russian guy to know the names of 3 different people without interacting with them? My geared body was never looted til later, so he didn't check my name) I hope this is a bug or I'm being retarded and that I haven't just encountered my first arsehole 'cheater'...

therandomredstone 432 Posted July 16, 2015 Who knows. But unless he made physical close contact with you, then he received your names illegitimately. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But unless he made physical close contact with you, then he received your names illegitimately.It was impossible for him to know my mates' names because there was 100% no interaction...maybe he guessed that I was the guy he killed coming back for my stuff but my mates told me he didn't loot my body so he couldn't have known my name Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He could've seen the logs. Hoo knows. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Death By Crowbar 1213 Posted July 16, 2015 The only way you should be able to know someone's name is:They write in chat. You are close to them and check their pulse. Three's 3 of you, and limited people on the server and you all have clan names. It would be an easy guess. You're talking in game and they go to the player list and mute you figuring out who you are, this is an easy way.Any other method is abuse, either an admin somehow or pink flamingo activity.

Thanks for your help... 1. We didn't write in chat.2. They only killed me and didn't loot my body so even if they did check my pulse, that doesn't explain how they knew my friends' name.3. It was a full server.4. We weren't using voice chat. Edited July 17, 2015 by Aw3someness Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
