batskater 0 Posted August 3, 2012 Hey guys.So we all know Alt+F4 people are a pain in the ass. But this guy called "scraB" on DE 925 took it to a whole new level. We were flying around the stary tents when he opened fire on our chopper. We spotted him and returned fire and he just instaquitted. He then apparently joined another server, moved to a new position and logged back to DE 925 and started shooting again when he saw an opportunity. Every single time we spotted him, he quit the game and moved to a new location on another server and then came back. We lost two of our guys trying to take him out, 'cause we never knew where he was.I am sorry if this is the wrong subforum or something and I know that quitters will be logged since the latest patch, but I doubt there will be any consequences for the abuser in the near future, so I just wanted to warn you from this player and this behavior in general. It doesn't bother us anymore if someone just cowardly quits and then proceeds to join another server and plays there, because it doesn't harm us in a way. But this guy actively sought after combat and then abused this mechanics to kill us. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
emkearn@gmail.com 1 Posted August 3, 2012 It's called ghosting and it's a well known problem. But yeah it sucks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LiptonTea 0 Posted August 3, 2012 (edited) You had a chopper and a team and this guy managed to take 2 of you ? Sorry but you deserve it, instalogging or notAnd I bet you guys stash your chopper up north where the map ends as well so don't complain about cheap tactics Edited August 3, 2012 by LiptonTea Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vexus 25 Posted August 3, 2012 To clarify for the ubernoobs, ghosting is when you have someone, usually a dead player in spectator mode, telling you the location of enemies or looking around corners for you. Not DayZ's particular, specific problem of people being able to move positions by server hopping. Thank you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why the hell are you attacking me? We simply returned fire and then fought with the resources we got. Oh and by the way: it's pretty hard to stash the chopper if he resets every time to its spawn point on server restart. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
