How can I escape death from a hacker?

[nogert@gmail.com 11]

Ok about 4 hours ago I lost, cco sd, coyote pack, night vision, range finder, gps, ghuillie suit, as50 and a m107 all with plenty of ammo. to a hacker that spawned me onto a beach, I alt tabbed with ridiculous speedy reflex but before I could get out I had hit the ground and died.

Now later, I'm not as pissed as I was, but merely demotivated to play again. partly due to the fact that it will take me a long time to get all that stuff back, but also because it can be taken away again at the blink of an eye to hackers.

Is there anything I can in order to survive hackers?

There is, actually.

Don't log in and you'll be completely safe. For now.

Play a singleplayer game.

Use the Alt+F4 command next time instead of Alt+Tab.

Don't play DayZ

lol, typo.

This game is one of those games where hacking is not just an annoyance it can take away weeks of work in an instant, would it be possible for rocket to check when players died and how? And if the player suddenly jumped across the map and dies, he's refunded his gear?

Hive might be recording those metrics. But server admins don't have that data in their logs. So I'm not entirely sure if the Hive is recording player kills player messages or not. Doesn't seem like it would have any recorded data to draw on for its records, unless the death/respawn session sends those ID's to the Hive only.

I suppose I can understand why they don't let admins deal with this stuff as it could get out of hand, has Rocket got plans for hackers, because like I said, any other game, it's just annoying, hackers on this game will literally destroy it and stop people from playing.

It's ok dude, like I said I've kind of lost the dayz motivation right now. I may play again in a few days or maybe this will be the final straw and I'll forget about this game. The latter would be nice considering all the stress it gives me lol.

If altf4 can't save you, there probably isn't anything. If you have your own private server, you can ban them. If you run in a team with a camp (or ten) you won't lose alot. Honestly, Im in the habit of duping stuff because most of my deaths are thanks to hackers now. I don't see why I should have to start again for their entertainment. If I die, back to base to rekit myself back out.

yup yup, im at a stand still myself after putting in a long script kiddie filled weekend.

It's easy to get out of the falling hack, just abort right before you hit the floor and log back in and you should land safely. The one that just kills everyone off one by one with the only warning being the mass amount of "X has died" in the chat is the hardest to avoid.

And I suppose if you die to a legitimate player you'll go back to your base and delete all of your duped gear?

Yeah right.
