Met a hacker... and I pity him

[RooBurger 285]

I was playing with my girlfriend yesterday. We were trying to meet up, but she ran into someone in a ghillie suit. She asked him not to kill her, and he decided to help her. White night syndrome in full effect. She was talking to me over Skype while all this was happening.

Then she noticed that zombies would run at him and drop dead a few feet away. Of course, must be a hacker.

We were debating whether or not I should try to kill him as I was pretty close at this stage. My opinion is that hackers can go to hell, whether helping or not.

But he spotted me from quite far away. I suppose he has some kind of hack which allows all name plates to be seen.

My GF explained that I was friendly and we were intending to meet up. So they both came over to me on a quad bike, and he gave us some guns and a ghillie suit for me (GF has a female character so that's useless for her). He asked if there was anything else I wanted, and I asked if he has NVGs. He said "well it's your lucky day, I happen to have two on me.". At no point did he admit to hacking.

He noticed that someone was running past in the distance, and decided to run off and kill him. He threw a grenade and the survivor was down. Shortly after, he ran back to us and asked if I'd like to loot the body. I said sure and followed him back.

The body had a lot of the best gear on it. I can only assume that he planted it there for me.

He began to ask if he could add us on Skype. For a moment I considered adding him so he'd be happy for the moment, then block him once we left the server. While he was talking he ran over the side of a hill and came back in a military truck. My GF and I decided to just leave the server. We logged out.

At the time, more than anything I felt sorry for him, and my wish not to let him down outweighed my wish to betray him. It was all quite pathetic. Looking back, I wish I'd told the sad bastard to get fucked.

It's a very hollow feeling to get items I didn't earn. The reason I play DayZ is because finding items is more rewarding than in any other game I've played, and killing bandits is possibly the best feeling I've ever had playing a game. Getting the best stuff for free completely breaks it for me. Due to the sheer amount of hackers in the game these days, I'm considering holding out until the stand alone comes.

The main thing I learned is that some (perhaps most?) hackers are sad, lonely people who just want others to accept and praise them.

People playing online games because they have no friends IRL? Nonsense !!!

[sublimitation 11]

Have Some Beans for a good story.

[witalit@gmail.com 22]

Hacking makes scavenging for weapons completely pointless. I totally agree with this and I had a similar thing happen to me. I just dumped all the items in a place no one would find and moved on. Few games later I found some sweet weapons and that was much more satisfying!

Sad story... :(

Where can I find girlfriends who wants to play DayZ???

It would solve so much problems, I need two ^_^ ^_^

[tiagobernardo@live.com.pt 8]

Not our fault they are sad, lonely or whatsoever, it's a game with rules that must be followed. If they don't have the ability to register into a forum and ask for someone to team-up but can search for hacks or even pay for them, well no sorry at all

my 2 cents

About your story, you got very lucky I think

[PhantomHunta 28]

Seems like a nice enough guy reguardless, I don't think his credibility on the game shows whether he is a sad piece of shit or not.

[Etherious 907]

LOL, Oh and your not what you just say to hackers? Just because he is a hacker, he is a scum? Friendlies are needed, regardless of there affiliation to cheats or not. What I PITY is the arrogance of some people in this forum.

If I could give you a billion beans, I would.

Also dannykeat; who forced you to take the items? It's as easy as saying no, even now you could simply drop them or give them to someone.

In other words, they are the same as the people who make arrogant forum posts insulting other players? The irony, it burns my eyes.

[Muncywolverine 236]

Wow thats... beyond pathetic...

Yeah, hacker's don't have any friends ._.

[Etherious 907]

To imply Hackers don't have friends is even LOWER then the virtual harm their doing in a GAME because your making stupid assumptions on who people are and if they have friends or not.

Whats up your ass?

[elasticz 35]

Yeah I've met hackers like this too.

They enjoy making people happy and just want to help.

Although most of them are down right corrupted and spawn you in the middle of nowhere and nuke you.

Either way they should be dealt with, receiving guns is fun but you will soon regret accepting them.

[Etherious 907]

Lol, nice comment? whats with the mad attitude? I'm simply stating that the TS is no better no then them IF he is talking like HE knows EVERYTHING. * Yes, my earlier post was quite off on info.

I too agree with you.

I play games to get away from my girlfriend, having one playing with you will only make problems

for example

you dint give me the thermal gun!

then she will play the silent treatment, you walk around, you lose site of her, you see someone up ahead, you ask is that you?

silence,

you ask again, your getting nervous

silence,

you shoot and kill the intruder....

with that half your face is red due to a slap and banished from the bedroom for a month.

[spexnax 15]

I feel sorry for him, but I am positive, that you would have considered adding him on Skype, if he was legit. You or your girlfriend never actually saw him "spawn" (or whatever it is they do) any items? It could be that he is legit... I watch Sacriel´s videos, and a lot of shit is going down when he is playing. Just saying.

[Etherious 907]

Answer? Your question is stupid and doesn't have any relevance to this post, so I don't need to answer it. For a Medic, you sure are a odd one indeed.

So your dodging the question. What do you have to hide?

[Etherious 907]

You want me to post a wiki link to whats up a ANAL, since your so interested? I'd rather not, anyway I'm done talking to people with a loose head. Goodnight.
