Creepiest moment in my life on a game... (Is this the hidden patch that was for the lulz?)

[ScottishOwl 18]

I once logged into a server and had a exact copy of myself behind me, except he had the default face instead of my one. I could speak to him and everything. After shooting him I looted him and he had all the same gear as me, well hey, I ain't complaining. He had 2 more mags and plenty of the same food and drink I was carrying :)

Hey Nort, just for future reference, you can get dead bodies out the vehicle by switching to whichever seat the body is in. I.E, to get dead body out of driver's seat, a player needs to go into the driver's seat.

Congrats you duped your body. Search for the method.

Pretty sure the only thing added for the lulz in the last patch was the ability to still see the artifacts.

Not to knock your credibility but you're probably clueless to what you actually saw and that's why no one can explain it.

As insulting as this comment is, I'll remain steadfast with my recourse of how the events took place.

As an arma 2 player and not just a dayz player, I have played arma for years, I know what AI looks like on arma, it is very obvious for more reasons than I'm willing to list here. (anyone who has played a lot of arma will know how peculiar the AI is).

A. I'm not talking about the "p" screen, I'm talking about the actual server in the listings (dayz commander/ingame server browser) aswell as the "p" screen.

B. My friend in this situation is not hacking, he is a close personal friend, and as his friend he won't mind me saying that he wouldn't have the first clue about hacking, nor would he choose to. If I thought he was hacking I would personally dismember him with a rubber chicken as it is the lamest thing to do in any game.

C. Point B is irrelevant because it was AI.

I welcome anyone's ideas or guesses to this bug(?) or whatnot, but its not like I don't know what I'm seeing.

(although I do see a lot of that going on in these forums, so I can sympathize)

I had a experience something like yours. Was running back from wilderness headed to NWAF. I ran up to a bush in the middle of this field with the intention of sitting for a few to check the map. As I came around the bush I was face to face with a Ghillie guy just standing there looking at me, No weapon or anything, Just looking at me. Creeped my out big time! My instincts took over and I fired a clip into it. The thing went down but I got zero kill for it.. No idea what it was or why it was there. Scared the piss out of me though!

Would be cool if they added things like this in the Standalone. Like yeti's or ghosts that patrol the forest at night. Would be fricking thrilling.

Ghosts. And yetis. In a survival game. It would be fucking retarded.

OMFG DUDE!! My friend and I were driving a bus in that EXACT same place at about 10:30pm and this dude in a Ghillie riding a BICYCLE came out infront of us, as we were playing around with the lights. There were only 3 people in the server, and he appeared in the middle of your line, near that little gas station :S We were on the server NZ03

[ZomboWTF 527]

this would explain something i encountered lately, i was hiding a pickup truck (tube frame) in a really dense forrest west of zeleno, near THAT MOUNTAIN, next day, car was gone, someone seems to have spotted it, but no one told me who found it...

after fixing a car later that day, we hid it near Myshkino, which is also west of green mountain, and the next day, the car was gone again! Someone mentioned he found the car near myshkino, just with the lights on, but i was sure i turned them off, and everyone helping to fix it logged off before me

[sky0dragon 0]

5 of us, going back to base in the truck, found 3 crashed helicopters on the way

in the third chooper a female "player" run to the truck, we see her but didnt managed to stop her. she get in the front (middle sit of 3), we try to talk with "her", nothing, we try to push her out (she was injured so we could take her out, but got back in right away)

friend shoot her, she dies, get pushed out of the truck.... and empty... no backpack, no items, no NAME....

friend get a -1 for killing someone... nobody in the server get a death count.... nobody...

You killed an endangered beast of the mountains hope your happy all he wanted was a ride in your truck...................

[smore98 225]

I saw another case like this, where some guy was roaming around a server at night, meeting up with his friend, and suddenly...

...WILD YETI MAN APPEARS.

He just walks to the guy, showing no intent to attack, but just continues walking in his general direction.

Scary shit, man...
