Teleported by hacker in water on US 1695

[Garam 0]

20 minutes ago, the entire server (30+ people on US 1695) got teleported about 4 kms from the coast by a hacker, every vehicule on the map also appeared to be there, floating, I almost instantly logged out hoping I could rollback or something, but obviously it didnt, now, I have I would say a 45 mins swim to the coast, I cant press the Respawn, I'm just fucking stuck in the sea, and the hacker must have a good laugh about it. How do you expect this game not to crash, when you worked for hours on a character (YES, I know, you're not supposed to get attached to your progression, you can die at any moment), but I just imagine that this guy, could easily, within 30 minutes, ruin the experience of 400 people hoping servers, teleporting everyone into the ocean, and repeat. How is this even possible? How the fuck can you justify to block the Respawn option when this is actually possible?

I love this game, when I first tried it, I thought I would play Dayz for years, I enjoyed it a lot, but if there is absolutely nothing to do against this kind of hackers, a vast majority of players will leave, and will probably forget about the standalone too, they will just move on, plain and simple. I'm not projecting my opinion, I just noticed that on the 15 peoples I know that played DayZ, only 8 are still playing it, and only 2 of them dont say "I think i'll uninstall soon, hackers just ruin it for me".

I mean, they can nuke cities, they can teleport people into a situation where they will have to swim for more than 30 minutes just so they can die (seriously, I'm dont even do that, I have other things to do ffs, everytime that happens what, I'll have to block my W key with an object aiming at the coast, and leave my computer? seriously?), I've even had an angry hacker that me and 7 mates killed, he followed us around servers, killing us 5 times, we all had to change names to avoid a tracking hacker, the guy ruined our entire evening, we all had great gear, great position to PvP around Elektro, all that ruined by a hacker, and I mean, I know that people had way worse than that numerous times, I'm not whining about me, I'm just stunned that this issue seems to be treated as "Oh well, cant do much, suck it up, 80% of your DayZ experience will be ruined in frustration but hey, thats the cost for our wonderful game", you cant build something out of that situation, change the entire way of scripting, I dont know, but do something, else, this game wont last long, and it's such a shame for one of the best game / idea I have ever seen.

Yah what happened to you sucks but it happens to all of us. Just try to remember this is a mod thats in alpha stage that we are testing. Hopefully by the time the standalone version is out this is fixed.

Players will move onto other video games, or even similar survival games that will be out before the standalone, until then, the fame of DayZ will be ruined by hackers encounters, and the memory of the DayZ buzz will be a distant one, I never complained about anything even if I died of many bugs, it's an Alpha, but building a game with free hacking, thats impossible.

By the way, I cant even see Chernarus from where I am in the ocean, so I have to die from the cold, it takes approximately 1h40 mins for me, to die like this, loosing around 2 blood per second, this is just normal right? No respawn button, hackers could do that all day, and I'll spend all day alt tab waiting for my character to slowly die. And this isnt about me, it's about the huge number of people that are going to have the same fucking problem in the following weeks, yay

Yeah, thanks you're useful. By the way, I just discovered, you cant die in water from a cold, blood stops dropping down at 6000, so, amazing, I still cant see the land, and now I hope I will either die of hunger, or maybe a hacker could mass teleport the server and help me out for once! Wonderful, havent been able to play for 2 hours and 30 minutes, and I bet it's going to be 1 hour more or less for my character to die, yeah, normal, it's an alpha guys, it's all great constructive testing

this literally just happened to me on US 2257

i dont know who did it, but even the admin was killed.

this is bs and needs to be fixed. i had a really good build going

also wow dude you got off easy, my hacker was able to instantly kill our entire server by forcing them to run into the water at the coast and somehow we all died instantly.

btw this is it for me, im uninstalling this mod and wont play again EVER. i wasted way too much time already and to have my life taken from a hacker or a bs glitch where zombies will kill me somehow for imossble reasons.

goodbye dayz
