Hackers rant

I just got killed by a sniper who shot me from around 400m away (far enough I couldn't hear the gunshot after I had run about 200m) while I was INSIDE a brick building blocked by 2 house walls. Great to know hackers can shoot you through objects. I know it's only alpha mod test, but whats the point in anything short of immediate disconnect if you're being sniped at from ridiculous odds?

You heard him, but did not see him?

You sure you werent sniped from an opposite side through a window?

Also.. if he saw you go in, and he was good enough and had an Anti-materiel rifle, im 99% sure those shoot through some walls.

Why didn't you use your leet haxs on him?

[Azrail (DayZ) 211]

if you ran from him while he was shooting at you, and you died behind cover -> lag.

JUST KIDDING, IF SOMEONE KILLS YOU, MUST BE A HACKER!

You can't shoot through walls, hacks or no hacks, as far as I'm concerned. =]

I'm very sure the .50 cal can.

[Steiyn 6]

.50 cal can pierce concrete, I doubt a few sheets of plasterboard would stop it.

.50 can go through thin brick walls (fire station walls stop them). If he had an ESP hack, he'd know exactly where you are. He could have also been invisible and shot you point-blank, or just simply picked your name off the player list and /killed. They're all within the bounds of script kiddies.

However, it's also entirely likely that you got shot from through a window, or from some other angle you weren't aware of.

Hackers can disable trees, grass, rocks, buildings....They can walk or shoot right through these objects and can see for thousands of meters. With their map hacks they can see where everyone and everything is on the map. You would think they would get bored very quickly with their world being so ugly and their being no challenge at all, especially with God mode on.

Stop crying about hackers and get over it.

Find a tent store ur shit and if u die oh well.

Every PC online game has hacks so get over it, fast

I thought of windows when I took cover in there. he was far enough away I couldn't hear the gunfire, just the landing of the shot around me. I intentionally stood in the hallway next to the front door where the windows didn't have any view on me. I believe he was shooting from the power plant roof in elektro, thats where I heard the first shots from. I then ran to the southwest edge of the town and hid in a brick house while chopping zombies that walked through the front door. I killed several zombies before he shot me inside the house, so I don't think it was lag. From the feedback I think it was an esp hack or list kill. since I didn't hear a final shot, I just died after hiding in the house.

But from now on, after I'm getting sniped at from an unreasonable distance, I'm disconnecting once I've hidden.

You said he was around 400m away. That is definitely not an unreasonable distance, seeing as I've landed shots from 1200m+..
