AntiCheatplayer 2 Posted March 11 Hello everyone my real name is João Victor i'm from Brazil and today i'm trying playing in Braziliam Server 5134 when i found two anothers Braziliam players, but this guys talk with my with your characters invisible, ok very nice, i'm back to the same place and, i found a car, when granades start drop's Bohemia and dev's close the Braziliam servers The specific server was [ Sp 5134 ] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C5ThYxQ7aes 1 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pyongo Bongo 235 Posted March 12 This happens all the time on all official servers and has been for four years straight. Invisibility is a recent thing, but cheaters murdering you has been on an unacceptable level for four years straight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Michael322 4 Posted May 19 Yes this happens alot. Especially before the wipes, as those cheaters are clearing their stashes. I played EU Livonia official server few times last week (DayZ Livonia EU - DE 4295 (1st Person Only)), and every death (except those at freshie towns) are by grenade being thrown perfecly under me. I usualy dont even see the person. Few of those I even have recorded. They are cheaters for sure and unfortunately noone is moderating those servers. It is sad especially because there aren't many Vanilla Livonia servers around, and I don't enjoy playing modded as much. If more ppl would play community Vanilla Livonia, I woudnt ever touch official again. It is extremely annoying. And more so because there are not enough steps by BI to stop that. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe when you arrived (already close to the lighthouse) you disturbed someone who was tinkering with the vehicle and he hid waiting to see what you were doing... and when you found the vehicle and took what was on the ground, he waited there 'right opportunity to shoot you. I've seen worse. I myself, who have never killed anyone "for sport" (only once for defense), happen to see other players and hide to observe them and see what they do and where they go. If they go away, they remain alive, if they come closer to where I am, I take the weapon and wait for them ready. If they happen to see me first, I generally die... From that video, from what I saw, I can't find any indication of "tricks" or anything else. With this I DO NOT mean that "cheats don't exist"... unfortunately I know something about all video games... I'm just saying that "in that video" I didn't see anything "abnormal". If a player had been truly "invisible", he would have gotten much closer and would NOT have missed you with his gun on the first shot... he could have even stabbed you or killed you with a knife, which didn't happen. I'm sorry but this is my point of view. However, unfortunately, it is true: DayZ is plagued by cheaters. Try looking for a sparsely populated server. Generally those are "safe" because those who use cheats don't have fun with a few players (his cheats... expensive... are better exploited with many players... it's more "fun"). Although it is not an "absolute rule", but you can try... P.S. I don't know what you were looking for, but from the way you were moving it seems to me that you still have a long way to go to understand this game well. 😕 Best wishes for everything 😉 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good job, hope it made your day better. Yes his video proves nothing, but the grenade trick is real and I can asure you, that it happens extremely often and it is for sure caused by cheaters. And it has absolutely nothing to do with the fact how experienced this guy is. Yesterday, my wife logged in the Livonia server, and she diedt three times in few hours by perfectly thrown grenade just under her. Guys are certainly shoulder-peeking only her on absolutely open spots, where enemy could be absolutely everywhere, etc. Its is extremely infested by cheaters and the only important point in this thread should be:BOHEMIA IS NOT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT THAT SITUATION AND FORCES EVERYONE TO PLAY THE COMMUNITY SERVERS TO SAVE THEIR EXPERIENCE, WHICH IS EXTREMELY IRRITATING AND SAD.

Good job, hope it made your day better. [cut] Did I write something wrong, maybe? If so, please correct me by explaining my mistake. If not, what did you want me to do? That I would leave the "inexperienced" player at the mercy of his mistaken beliefs? Isn't it right to "correct and inform" (= evolve) new players? For the rest... I did NOT write that "the tricks don't exist"... unfortunately I saw them too... I just wrote that "in this case" I didn't see them and I gave the rational explanation of how it could have happened. An old adage goes: "Let's give to Caesar what is Caesar's" (and I agree with it)😉 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CowboysAngel 2 Posted May 28 Yeah. I haven't been playing very long and have had MANY frustrations with this game. Constantly losing stuff, not being able to reload my character... but the most frustrating is when I have worked hard to build and save a character and an IGNORANT player sits and camps, kills me, takes all my loot and I can't even reload my character. Gets pretty aggravating... to the point of not even wanting to play any longer. Gaming is supposed to be enjoyable and it's bad enough to have to deal with the infected but then to have to watch out for *sshole players?? 😡😡😡 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Riddick_2K 174 Posted May 28 What you mean exactly by "reloading the character" ? You could also try explaining your problem on the B.I. feedback site. Maybe they can solve the problem. The "asshole" players will remain, but at least the game will work like it does for the majority of other players... 🙂 https://feedback.bistudio.com/project/view/2/ Best wishes 😉 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CowboysAngel 2 Posted July 6 Meaning I can't respawn the same character... at all. I try the "respawn custom' but it still five me a random character, so I am consistently rebuilding everything. Any tips would be very well recieved!😁 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I try the "respawn custom' but it still five me a random character, so I am consistently rebuilding everything. Any tips would be very well recieved!😁 As for the character (sex, face and skin) there has been a kind of "bug" for a long time now. I don't remember exactly, it would be better if you searched online, you should find more detailed explanations (then I don't know English and I have to use Google which makes "questionable" translations...). but it was more or less like this: *) You had to commit suicide. *) When dead you had the choice of respawn, whether "random" or "chosen character" (I'm going from memory) *) You should choose the character from all the available types. *) Start the "rebirth" with the chosen character... which did NOT work: I was reborn with the previous character or with a random one. *) Commit suicide again. *) When reborn choose the "usual" character (I'm going from memory... however NOT one to choose again). *) You should be reborn with the character of your choice. I did it a long time ago and now I always have my character. I REPEAT: 1) I went from memory, the options and the procedure could be a little different. 2) I use Google translations, I hope they are understandable. Maybe if you manage to solve it, let us know... maybe it will help the next one... 😉 Edited July 7 by Riddick_2K Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At the death screen that asked you Respawn as - I preffer last instead of random. If server has no such choice exit from server to main menu, and then login back that shall intend the server create your presetted char then create random one.

CowboysAngel 2 Posted July 13 Hi! Yes. I have tried the "respawn custom", but it still just gives me a random new character.🤷♀️ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have tried the "respawn custom", but it still just gives me a random new character.🤷♀️ The mechanic itself is not very "intuitive" but it does work perfectly fine. If you have customised and saved a custom character, you will spawn with that character every single time you respawn on a server that allows custom characters. However, you need to know that not all servers allow that - it is up to the server owner and some servers will force a random character even if you have saved a custom one.
