Player Deadvane ghosting/alt+f4 abuse

Recommended Posts

Playing on US 1767 NY, with a friend. We decide to go look for bandits to snipe north of electro. It was about 3:00pm eastern.

While overlooking Electro, my friend found an ATV, and drove it back up the hill towards me. Once he gets into the forest he gets shot and dies (quite close to me). I see the ATV and then I turn around and see a bandit. Shoot at him (probably missed), and he runs behind a tree and ALT+F4s since he had nowhere to go (what a loser). Once I realize that he is gone I decide to go take my friends stuff and store it in the ATV (we were fully endgame decked out).

I dump the guns in the ATV and the second I do that I see the same bandit coming down the hill from the opposite direction and he lights me up. He was way too far away to have run, and I would have heard him (logout tree was right beside me, in view), so he was definitely ghosting. I pass out bleeding, wake up, and bandage with 39 blood left. I can see the ATV. I wait it out for about 5 minuites, and my friend runs back to grab his stuff from the ATV. Gets lit up by the same bandit again.

The bandit runs up to the ATV and I put 12 CCO SD bullets into him. "Deadvane has been killed" +1 bandit kills. I wait about 1 minute, and walk up to his body. Nothing is there, he ALT+F4d. (I guess after the last 2 incidents, this isn't a big surprise) PEW . I am dead.

I'm not really sure if anyone could do anything about it, but at least avoid the player or kill him if you see him. At least I got to share this interesting story. The only thing that makes me kind of mad was that I had been alive for 15 days, and had over 1100 zombie kills, 7000 karma and I wanted to at least die by an honest, skilled player, not some exploiting retard.

Oh and to top it all off there was a server reset right after all of this, and the ATV + all bodies were gone. Hope you guys enjoyed the story at least.

tl;dr. Killed an alt+f4 and ghosting bandit named Deadvane, his body was gone and the instant I realized I was killed. I skimmed over the forum rules, but if this is considered "not cheating" or "spam" , please feel free to delete it, and I sincerely apologize.

Video proof is needed. Anyone can get butthurt about dying and add things into what happened to make it look like the others were alt-f4'ers.

Yeah I am not really that butthurt anymore, the exploiter never got my stuff, and its fun to start over. Recording all the time waiting for an exploiter would be entirely impractical, so no big deal. The rules said video proof was optional, but thanks for clearing that up.

I figured nothing was probably going to be done, but at least if I can warn people to watch out for this guy, its better than nothing. Maybe someone else can catch him and get him banned.

An admin can feel free to delete this thread.
