Explosion of hackers?

[Freckelz 9]

So we all know there are hackers, it mostly an accepted part of Dayz right now. I my self have see some crazy stuff, and the norm, liked hacked weapons or vehicals.

But over the past two days it seemed like the hackers have like exploded in on almost every server. I say this because over the course of about 4 hours of gameplay my entire teams legs suddenly broke, and gear was spawned directly onto our characters, we all dropped the gear and or respawned to get rid of it and switched servers. The next server had jets, helis, jeeps, trucks, moterbikes, everything all spawned all over the coast. So we again switch servers... the next is just an exploded mess of fires from heli crashes? Switch again... This time we were left alone for a while, enough time to raid a camp and get pretty gears. then suddenly all our gear is gone and are characters are spazzing out, dancing i think, we aborted to fast to find out becasue it was obvious the second it happened it was hackers. We also went up to stary on yet another server, where a guy teleported behind each of our, and some how used a global chat that didn't exist in game to play music or mock us just before he killed us, 3 people in 2 minutes over a distance of 200-300 meters apart from directly behind us. Last but not least we engaged a squad in stary, stole their car, then bunkered down so one of our team mates could reach us. In that time the team had tried several times to get their car back to no avail. We were then all teleported to the same place for a "death match". sigh...

I know that these things happen... but usualy not so much in such a short peiod of time. So... why the sudden explosion. As a bandit these things are greatly impacting my testing of the mod, making it impossible to get an accurate read of whats going to even try and suggest new things.

The only thought that comes to mind is the whispers of the patch/update for today. The one that takes out respawning (i think???) and does something with the alt f4 issue (again... just things i've heard).

Any of my fello bandits experiencing this?

Respawns only happen if you die in game, cant be picky now, DAY Z team are constructing a hive databse which uses a players network reputation and issues warnings depending on how much they connect and disconnect

Yeah but i guess my question was... is the explosion in hacking a "protest" against the new update. It just seems like werid timing.

Its just "explode" cause a anti BattleEye script is leaked from private, so a lots of people can now run scripts and all they want including spawning weapons, teleport all, spawn bodyguards, vehicle, spawn NPCs or just enable the classic things like godmode and inf. ammo

I've noticed this trend as well. Logged onto a server the other day and all of Cherno had some sort of horribly stretched fire animation spread across it. Logged out right after that and used a different server, only to find that my character data had been corrupted and now my weapons, backpack, and tools were all gone and every time I'd log back in, I'd appear in a different location.

Not sure what the script kiddies get out of screwing up people's games and servers, but it's rather annoying.

Hopefully these jackasses will get banned soon. I know rocket and the BattleEye team are probably busting their ass as of recently with the huge influx of hackers. I mean shit, just look at all the cheat reports. There is not way they are not doing something about it now.
