fritigern 9 Posted May 28, 2012 Been playing this game for several weeks now, I consider myself to be quite competent at it and a pretty good gun fighter as a solo survivalist. I say this to ward off the "OMG YOU NOOB Y U NO _____" comments.Long story short, I'm crawling through the NW airfield one early morning (this morning in particular) and a large firefight breaks out between 3 other random survivors who all found themselves clustered around the hangers. I was off on the hill playing over watch, seeing what was going on. It was a shell game in the hangers, everyone peaking out and taking shots at one another (the only reason I didn't engage myself was because I was prone in a cluster of zombies and had no decent long range weapon), and eventually one person bum rushed someone else in their hanger, killed them, then proceeded to do it to the last person. I had already started to crawl down there by this time with the intention of taking down the last man, and was keeping a constant vigil on the entrance (it is literally impossible for them to walk out the front door without me seeing). I made too much noise, got busted, and me and the guy inside trade fire. He goes back inside, and I start slicing the pie.. He's gone. I don't know if he disconnected, I didn't keep an eye on the chat log, but just as I'm going in to check over the bodies, the same guy (He was wearing the same camo gear, had the same weapon, etc.) comes from BEHIND, around the corner of the hanger, and shoots me once in the back and instantly kills me.I have no idea what his name was, server didn't display that or call out deaths, and I am almost 100% certain that he didn't server hop to get behind me, the time I lost sight of him to when he got behind me was a matter of seconds, which leaves me to believe he found some way to glitch his way through the wall of the hanger. I don't know, that is the only thing I can come up with. I don't expect my gear back or anything like that, I am just wondering if someone else has had a similar experience, and I want to know if that kind've bullshit is even allowed?

Legacy (DayZ) 1091 Posted May 28, 2012 I've heard of DB Rollbacks happening where people die and they respawn right next to themselves on the occasional glitch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fritigern 9 Posted May 28, 2012 I suppose that is possible, I've had that happen to me before where I've died and rejoined the game expecting a new character, only to end up in my last save state like nothing happened, but this happened a hell've a lot faster than that.Who knows, without a proper death log or names I can't confirm anything, just something to keep an eye out if other people see it happen too. Maybe a hack, maybe an exploit, or maybe just a dumb glitch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Legacy (DayZ) 1091 Posted May 28, 2012 Do you know at what exact time and at which serveR? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fritigern 9 Posted May 28, 2012 If memory serves it was Chicago 6 and it was about a half hour before my original post in this thread. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Legacy (DayZ) 1091 Posted May 28, 2012 Supplying exact times and servers is a good way for developers to look into these things. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fritigern 9 Posted May 28, 2012 It took me a while to mull over the events to come to the conclusion that something fishy had happened that warranted posting, so I lost track of the exact time. I will make sure to properly note the time next time I see something odd like this happen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
