Hackers on US 1981

[Physsion 6]

Hi admin team,

I don't have any screenshot or video evidence of what happened tonight, but I figured I'd post a report against two hackers my squad ran into on US 1981.

Server this happened on: US 1981

Time that it happened including your timezone: Just after 11pm, GMT+12 (New Zealand)

What happened during the incident:

My squad consisting of myself and three mates were getting tired of moving around through the wilderness, and we decided to head in to the woods north of Cherno with the intention of playing as guardian angels and taking out some bandits. After spotting two ghillied snipers on the roof of the north western hospital through my thermal sight, we started moving further north to get in a better sniping position to take them out, when one of our guys spotted a bus driving along the northern road. We co-ordinated our attack, had thermal and rangefinders up while Itosis, our best marksman, shot out the wheels of the bus and killed the two guys inside it as they tried to get away. Their names were Destroyer (definitely) and Overwatch Patrol (or similar name to this effect.)

Five minutes after Itosis got his kills, a player was kicked by Battleye for script violation - the name was blank. Warning bells should have gone off in our heads, but we were too caught up in the thrill of combat to take any action on it. Another minute after that, all four of us dropped dead with no warning whatsoever. Our names are Fission, Itosis, InvaderTim and Nick. There were several other players on the server at the time, but the four of us were the only ones that were killed.

While our squad was able to make it back to our bodies after respawning and get the majority of our loot back, we lost three ghillie suits and one camo clothing. Soon after getting our own stuff back, we moved down to the bodies and found they had identical gear. Identical, down to the number of magazines they had in their inventories. Both had DMRs, M9 SDs and full toolbelts.

I've provided a screenshot from Itosis below - while it doesn't provide evidence of names, it shows his two murders from our sniping location. Hopefully it gives you a little indication of where we were if that helps at all.

I understand that without proper screenshots or video evidence of the events that occurred tonight there may not be any action that can be taken against these two - however, on behalf of the entire DayZ community I would greatly appreciate it if you could have a chat with the owner of US 1981, check the server logs for any evidence of these cheaters and punish them for their actions in-game. We'd all be very grateful for any action taken.

Thanks team,

Fission

EDIT 1&2: thought Nick's name was Nallen so changed it, later found out that it was Nick so changed it back.

So humorous to see a post about US 1981 because I know that server all too well. How many times have I been killed on that server by hackers? Too many to count.

It would be nice if Dayz Commander had a player rating system so one could easily identify which servers have exceptional hacker problems. Instead of logging in to the server and finding out the hard way. Just a simple 5 star hacker rating system. I prefer to spend my time playing the game itself, not trolling through hundreds of forum pages looking for tips on good servers.

Sorry to the OP on his experience in 1981. It sucks, because I bet you're like me and that server tends to sort at the top of your server list with a low ping and high population. It looks enticing, but is a guaranteed death by a scripter.
