deathdealer 1 Posted August 5, 2012 Hey everyone,So the past couple of hours I have been running around the Western border of the map looking for stuff. I ran into a couple of tents which didn't really have anything I wanted. Once I got to the Northern Border I decided the server I was in was pretty dry, so I hop onto another server I've been using, run for 2 minutes and find what looks like a camp a hacker made.In the camp there was like 20 tents (mostly empty) but one had like 10 M107s in it, and another had 20 Ghilli/Army suits and some other stuff. I took a Army suit, and then swapped it out for a Ghilli, then I started running back the way I came in the other server because I knew this one had a few vehicles in the North-West.Anyway, so now I'm running towards Grozovy Pass and all of the sudden my guy takes out my 1911, I get a big error message, and I hear a Zombie attacking sound. I disconnect thinking there's a glitch or something..., then I reconnect and I find that not only are the other things happening, but I AM THE ZOMBIE!?, I have almost no control, and I'm attacking the ground and moving like a Zombie does. My character also turned into the Zombie Pilot model...I have all my gear though and I'm bleeding... So now I'm in "OH SHIT MODE" and I immediately ALT-F4.Now I'm feeling pretty shitty at this point, I have some pretty good gear, my perfect gun setup, and I've spent all this time running up to the Northern border just to die because some hacker decided to be a dick... (Second time this week -_-)I restart DayZ and join the original server I was in thinking, OK well if I join another server Ill be fine right? Wrong, the same shit is happening even though I hopped into another server...Am I just plain screwed or what? I feel like there is a possibility that this is a glitch, but on the other hand, it seems too ridiculous... I really don't want to restart my character again... it would be the 4th time this week I've found a bunch of cool gear just to die after getting it, and the 2nd time from a hacker...My plan right now is that hopefully one of my friends will find a vehicle in the next day or so, then he can come to where I am and I can drop all my gear in it. Then once I die he can come get me. But to me that's a pretty shit plan... I'm basically in the middle of nowhere and I'm betting on someone else finding an off-road vehicle of some sort...Any help or information would be greatly appreciated.Sincerely,DeathDealer117 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lennsik 176 Posted August 5, 2012 Yea, you got hacked my friend, sorry to hear. Best to do is just bleed out and have a friend grab your stuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dxze 20 Posted August 5, 2012 I was turned into a Zombie, I left straight away and joined a different server. Luckily, it didn't save and I was back to a survivor and I got to keep all my stuff :) 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ozelot (DayZ) 394 Posted August 5, 2012 And then John was a zombie. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lennsik 176 Posted August 5, 2012 Though, thinking about it, Rocket did express interest in players being infected and zombie like. This script could have potential if used properly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

deathdealer 1 Posted August 5, 2012 Ugh... what a shame...Well thanks for the info guys.daedrick, Im going to sleep now but if none of my friends can help me tomorrow, Im very interested in you helping me out... It would be better to trust a stranger and risk losing my gear than to just lose it without trying... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
albinorhino 174 Posted August 5, 2012 Your first mistake was to become attatched to your gear. Just do yourself a favour and hit respawn. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deathdealer 1 Posted August 5, 2012 Your first mistake was to become attatched to your gear. Just do yourself a favour and hit respawn.I'm attached to the hours and hours running around looking for that gear... I'm only interested in this game to try and survive and If I can save my gear, I'm just going to pretend this never happened and keep walking right from the same spot I died in. I understand your point to some degree but I want to try and keep it this time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I understand your point to some degree but I want to try and keep it this time.Uhm.Please understand this : This is Alpha. Pretty much everything you actually do in game, you are only testing it.I'm also pretty sure all the gear, everything, will be wiped out once the standalone will be released.If you wanna actually play the game, wait for a couple of months. It should be released by then.Have a nice day :) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

red_orchestra@msn.com 112 Posted August 5, 2012 Ah bad luck, relogging is suppose to fix that, it fixes being an animal. No it's not a glitch, a someone uses a script to make you a zombie which makes you a civilian under AI control. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Womb Raider 92 Posted August 5, 2012 Like others have said, if you re-log in it may fix it, if not sorry OP, you've experienced the wonders of hacking that is in Day Z. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Elenkel 50 Posted August 5, 2012 I can help you by turning you back into human. Will you keep your gear after turning back? That I don't know. Most zombies never get the chance to turn back. Contact me with your ingame character's name and times when you are available.To other posters: regretfully "zombie" is a skin, not a morph like cows, dogs, etc. The "zombie" skin works like a ghillie suit, so it's not something that can be fixed via relog.
