ooook.... probably experienced my first teleport

[Tassada 4]

Hey everyone

So I don't have a video recording and english isn't my first language so bear with me while i try to describe...

I log into a server (FR something... maybe I should try to remember it next time... I'll try to find it again) and make my way to Elektro. I approach from the north and I hear DMR/M14 shots fired from the hill directly north of the powerstation/firestation. I try to sneak up as best as I can to try to get a hold of that sniper camping there. I'm close but haven't really pinpointed him exactly. I take out my binoculars to look at the other hill west of the power plant, since someone is firing what sounded like an AS50 from over there as well. All of a sudden, I see 3 players pop up DIRECTLY in front of me.

I panicked, hear gunshots, bullets zipping past all around me and I hear screaming (no idea if it was ingame sound from one of the chars being shot or whatever). All while still being prone and looking through my binoculars... I wasn't hit... It just seemed weird that I wasn't shot while there were TONS of players around me and lots of shooting. Also, pine trees all around me all of a sudden... not that many of them on the N Elektro hill.

I figured this was fishy (while physically shaking IRL, of course...) and Alt+F4'd out.

I then proceeded to look for a low population server to log back in and see where the fuck I am...

Turns out I am now a couple hundred meters north of Cherno in the woods. My char is ok and I still have all my stuff but BOY did I get scared... O.o

I guess being prone and wearing a ghillie saved my life. But one question... From what I've read so far, being teleported is usually followed by being insta-killed or am I wrong there? Or do the hackers usually wait there with some big ass machine gun and just shoot everybody?

Hackers for you, just be thankful you are alive :)

I don't suppose there's any way to look up on which server I have been in order to report this properly?

I was using the built in server browser from arma to join and I don't see any history in there :( Guess I should either write down which server I'm joining or start using DayZ commander or something...

edit:

I THINK it might have been FR 169 but I can't be sure...

I remember it being daylight, Veteran difficulty and a 3 digit number. Also, I can't join the server (gets stuck on 'wait for host'). There were 20+ players when I tried, then the server went unresponsive and is now back up but practically empty. Still can't join, though.

I guess I can't find out for sure on which one I was when it happened. I'll probably use DayZ commander from now on so I'll be able to know on which server I was, should something like this ever happen again.
