Hacker/teleporter on UK - 181 (Video evidence included!)

[Capercaillie 16]

Server: DayZ - UK - 181

Time: August 22, 2012 5:10 p.m. GMT+3

Hacker name: (Sniper) Trent

I had been playing for an hour or so, making my way to Stary to meet my friend. I'd been hearing some quiet music occasionally, but I thought it was some of my friends on ventrilo.

My character was located somewhere near Black Forest and Lesnoy Khrebet.

Suddenly I spotted someone behind me. I hid behind a tree, big enough to hide me properly, or that's what I thought. I knew this guy had seen me too, so I decided to wait behind cover and monitor the situation. Suddenly the guy shot me. (I did not get any proof of this at that time, but the guys name was (Sniper) Trent)

As my screen faded black, I started hearing music again (call me maybe), this time a bit louder and I realized it was coming from direct chat.

So I quickly respawned somewhere near Drakon. My character started dancing, which was weird, but I don't know if it had something to do with the incident or not. ANYWAY, in the dancing movie clip, my friend yells in ventrilo how some sniper just suddenly spawned in front of him, and then after a while disappeared again. (My friend was located somewhere around Pusta)

I start making my way inland, and about 30 seconds after the dancing part, I start hearing "call me maybe" again. My friend yells in ventrilo, that the guy he saw was named (Sniper) Trent, the same guy I see in front of me.

Quite a suspicious combination, the same guy playing the same song over direct in 3 different locations MILES apart from each other, yet only minutes after one another.

(Sniper) Trent also had quite strange gear, heavy weaponry but still only the starter bag and NO food/water..

HERE is a Youtube link for some video/screenshot evidence

I don't even care if I die and lose all my things, if a "hacker" kills me and makes me dance on the beach like that, it would make my entire day. Especially if others happen to pass by and witness it.

Dude, I don't care if I died. It has happened to me quite many times, and will happen again to EVERYONE who plays this game.

THE POINT OF THIS is to get rid of the hackers. If I want to see someone dancing I go do something else than play a zombie apocalypse game.

I understand the problem of hacking, but those dance moves were ridiculous, and absolutely wonderful at the same time.

Yeah, I gotta agree on that one, but anyway the dancing part wasn't the intended primary proof for the hacking.

"Call me maybe" playing on 3 different locations MILES apart shortly after one another is the proof.

Tabris, you didn't witness the horror first hand.

We're not talking about some jolly dancing fun with hugs all around.

Just imagine, first starting to hear those dreadful pop beats out of nowhere and finding a guy staring right at you quietly ten meters away with a gun barrel pointed towards your face.

After being frozen by terror for few second he simply vanishes.

Shrugging it off you start running away to the hills only to start hearing the music from an entirely different position, just this time it's accompanied with a gunshot.

I know there's not much to do about it, but the least we can do is reduce the amount of these heart attack inducing encounters.

Edit: At least my mic is fixed now.

First of all, I wasn't hacking and second off I ALT+F4'd don't come around accusing me of hacking because you died.

YOU SUCK

[Tabris07 159]

I get enough random heart attacks from playing Slender Man games.

I guess I'm just the kind of guy that doesn't take things like this very seriously. Sure, I would think a person who teleported in front of me and killed me was a jerk, but as soon as I witnessed my fresh spawn busting a move on the beach, I would totally feel better about the situation.

I'm not saying this is how everyone should react, but it would most likely be my reaction.

YOU SUCK

There were multiple spottings of you many kilometers apart and all with the same characteristics. Appearance out of nowhere and with you vanishing just as quickly.

What seemed to be you logging off was instead you changing location to harass another person. Right after my friend gets slaughtered by you you'll notice me first describing you at 0:53. While you probably don't understand finnish, you should be able to notice me mentioning your name the first time. After what seemed like you logging off, I started running to the opposite direction.

While describing the event to my friends you change your position back to your original victim with recurring theme.

Annoying music and you vanishing in a heartbeat.

You'll also notice us confirming in the vent that this person must indeed be a hacker. If this would've been just us trying to get revenge on you because I suck balls in this game you could've heard it in the vent. Instead you'll notice pieces of information being patched together until we reached the obvious conclusion that something foul was going on.

Later you teleported back to me. I tried to log off, but alas. I was too slow with my alt+F4 reflexes.

So far you haven't answered to your accusations in any reasonable way besides from ad hominem arguments.

Why were you spotted in multiple spots many kilometers apart within few minutes? Why did you have top-tier weaponry and a ghillie suit, yet everything else in your inventory was like you had just awoken from the beach? How is it possible that your taste in music is so terrible?

Video subtitles added to clarify the situation.

Nope, me and another guy we're actually playing Call me Maybe on the microphone. Not my fault you're accusing me of cheating and I didn't do anything.

Have a great rest of DayZ :)

In addition of you claiming that you and your friend had identical names and gear, you admit that the music was indeed played on multiple locations and you were related directly to these musical kills.

Could we then get a testimony on these forums from this friend of yours so we can compare if he was on the server at the same time?

I'd like to remind you that the music was played on three locations in succession. Who was your third friend and could we get his testimony too?

If you weren't teleporting around, why were you logging on and off in a random pattern even when the opposition was unarmed and you had the handheld equivalent of a tactical nuke?

How was your 'friend' able to locate the exact same guy who you yourself killed mere minutes ago as he spawned in an entirely random location on the beaches of chernarus?

You also seem to ignore the question about your gear. Duping items is just as serious offence as teleporting, so I'd like to hear your explanation on that.

Evidence is piling up and so far you haven't done anything to refute any of the claims.

Instead you've been avoiding questions and tried to dismiss this as nothing.

The longer you keep playing this game of yours, the more glaringly obvious it becomes that you've been caught with your hand deep in the cookie jar.

dude you are triying to say that you didnt hack but to my knowledge there are no as50 tws in dayz unless is hacked those are only in the arma game

YOU SUCK

I'm not accusing you of hacking "because I died". I don't have a problem starting over in this game, it's a part of what makes Day Z exciting.

What I do have a problem with is people who exploit the game and hack.

Your arguments in defense are as strong as a harvestmans web.

Trenth, looks like the foundation on your hastily constructed argument is starting to crumble.

It's quite suspicious for you to carry illegal weaponry: considering you have that as50 tws + m4a1 cco SD,

one would expect to find something else from you than antibiotics plus the gear of a fresh spawn.

Care to give us a coherent and proper response against these accusations, or will you pathetically try to bury

all the evidence we have provided by churning out the same bullshit explanation you

already gave us?
