SERIOUS Hacks happening.

[Burn7 0]

tl;dr version: Hackers teleported everyone in the server all at once into a small, prepared building with no exits and killed them for their items (or cause trolling is just so incredibly fun for certain individuals who I personally would describe as "Human Garbage").

So I don't know if this was an isolated incident, or if this has happened to anybody else... But it deserves some attention regardless. Because this thing that happened? It was bad. Like absolutely game-breaking bad. And I don't know if I can continue playing this game with stuff like this happening.

A few friends of mine are playing with me on US #00 (NYC 308), just running around Elektro doing the whole Zombie Survival thing. Killing some asshats who started firing at us in the center fire station, trying to go get some supplies from the Hospital. Just playing DayZ like everyone wants to.

Suddenly, the game stalls for a moment and my player goes through the strange warping experience that happens when you put on a different camouflage. I then reappear glitched inside of the geometry of a building. I look around, and being glitched inside of the building I am able to see through a couple different walls. I look inside of a nearby building, which is one of those Medium Industrial loot buildings with the 2 large blue doors in the front.

The doors are open, and on the inside I can see nearly EVERY PLAYER on the server has been teleported into this building. They stop for a moment, turning around each other, confused about what's happening.

Then a small group of players in the corner (who were obviously prepared for the hack because they were behind sandbags and barbed wire) open fire on the crowd. After a brief slaughter, EVERYONE in the building dies except for the bastards in the corner. I attempt to run my character out of the glitched building, and it finally lets me out. I start running towards the inferno of violence that just happened before my eyes with one mission: To fucking kill whoever the hell just ruined ~40 people's games.

Before I can avenge a damn thing, two snipers posted on top of the building I was glitched into gun me down, and I'm taken to the oh-so-fucking-wonderful "YOU ARE DEAD" screen, where people are FREAKING OUT over the chat.

Moments later after a brief (lol) respawn, the server crashes and my friends and I get the infamous "No Message Received For XX" dialog.

I only had, and still have one question:

WHAT THE FUCK JUST HAPPENED?

Your server got buttfucked by script kiddies.

Thats what happened.

A private hack was leaked to the public.

Soon all these faggots will get perma-banned, until they use their parents credit card to buy another copy of Arma 2 that is.

These hackers make me sick to my stomach.

[FrostDMG 398]

They didn't kill you for your items.

They killed you to grief you.

He could have just spanwed items

[marcusjoshualee@gmail.com 5]

That actually sounds pretty epic. At least you died in -puts on glasses- Style! 8D

Calm down guys I had NVG's a DMR, etc, etc and it happened to me today I loved it, it was hilarious funnest time I've had in Dayz for awhile live a little. It's a fucking game.

The problem is however, getting nuked.

And getting nuked more than once.

[Tsyn 215]

Wew, glad this hasn't happened to me. But one of my survivor friendly's headshotted me earlier if that counts! xD

[DeadManDan 23]

Can't get any worse.

[DarkRaven123 602]

Can't get any worse.

Don't jinx it.

We don't want another DDoS.

Why the hell did you stick around during the hack? At even the slightest hint of one of those kinds of hacks, I'm out in a flash. Next server.

[Riiquiem 35]

Problem is that it's kinda hard to check who did this.

I don't think that the developers can watch our every step.

My thoughts exactly.

[tomchu 2]

just happened to me to recently I just laughed myself cause i just died and lost my shit

[Celestia 16]

About an hour ago my friend and me were running through a field when a guy spawned about 50 female npcs that seemed to shoot in random directions, i took off running while A-10's spanwed and despawned all over while my friend tried to kill as many as he could before all of them turned their gaze on him and shot him dead.

After that a horde of random male characters took off in every which direction but a large group came barreling towards me so I disconected, saving the scraps Ive gathered over the past week.

I will say that it was interesting as hell, and my friends and I talked it over and we're not sore over it. It was just kind of... Well, it kind of ruined our fun (obviously). But then again I guess that's the point of "Griefing", huh?

I just wish this didn't have to happen to my friend on his very 1st day of playing the game. It's those kind of early experiences that make you not want to play anymore.

I also had no idea hackers could just spawn items O.o But I'm not surprised whatsoever. I've just never heard of it in this game yet.

Now I have.

[jubeidok 495]

Sounds like someone braggin to me, tryin to make it seem like he wasn't involved.

Funny how you seem to have so many details from a fixed perspective and how you were conviently the only one that was "miss teleported".

Come on now, do u really think peeps are that stupid?

[tact 3]

I too have been baptized by hackfire as of late.

[hertsolvent 4]

Exact same thing just happened on ANZ8, except in was in the airfield, oh man the carnage.

[RayPugh 146]

yeah i'd hazard a guess that its more interesting than just dropping to the floor dead along with everyone else in the server wondering wtf just happened. cus that shit just plain sucks

[HalloweeNGT 23]

I said it a week ago, the game is going unplayable, grab a gun and have fun while you can

[Deadly7 2]

Me too, I already died 4x to people nuking the server, honestly it so common now, that I dont even try to survive. I just gear up with a enfield and PVP knowing that at any moment there going to nuke the server again.

Can't get any worse.

It can't? Tell that to me and the thirty other people on some server were on earlier.

We all got turned to fucking sheep and chopped to death.

[Burn7 0]

This shit is getting pretty intense. I've been reading stories about fights on islands, falling from the skies, A-10 bombing runs, people being turned into goats...

I know it's far, far away but I'd really like to see some IP ban capability for server admins up in here.

My only concern is that they wouldn't know who was causing the hacks :/
