Rastamaus 323 Posted September 5, 2012 Yesterday I spawned by the coast, about 500 metres west of Kamenka, and right there on the beach was a truck. I went prone and crawled up the slope to get a better vantage point and spotted a player running into the town away from me and the truck. Assuming it was the proud owner i waited till he was out of sight and then nicked the truck.This is the first time I'd been in control of a vehicle in dayz, it was to be a day of firsts. Once i'd got it about 4 km away nestled in the woods I jumped out and checked it for gear - my jaw hit the floor when i saw all the goodies, GPS, ghillie suit, AS50 and tons of ammo, NVG's, rangefinders, military torch, grenades, mp5sd (no ammo) and a nice Alice pack. Bearing in mind I have never found any of these items before to get them all at once was pretty pleasing and almost assuaged my guilt at having stolen the truck.in the first place.I had such a great 5 or 6 hours, sniping zombies without worrying about ammo running out, eating and drinking as soon as my indicators looked a little oin the pink side, i even had my first trade swapping my old AK74 for some MP5SD ammo and revelled in the joy that is silenced weaponry in a zombie infested city. eventually I thought I'd take a break and popped downstairs to eat.Refreshed and full of anticipation for the evenings session I relogged and thought I'd get my characters blood level back to 12000, while sitting in TMW's teamspeak lobby a player spawned right in front of me, he yelled 'banzai' over chat and pumped me full of lead - game over. I'm guessing he was a hacker. I stayed on the server and as i was planning on meeting a medic I knew my corpses precise location, of course i re-spawned on the North east coast and it took me over an hour to find the spot, by which time it was night on the server and when i finally found it everything was gone. Karma it seems wasn't going to let me just steal another players truck without making me suffer acoordingly. lesson learned. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ShigZ 66 Posted September 5, 2012 This is not karma. You only met a script douche that killed you and got you body hidden. Unfortunately I believe you gonna have more of those encounters. Bear with us, the legit dayz players. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kawllie 18 Posted September 5, 2012 This is not karma. You only met a script douche that killed you and got you body hidden. Unfortunately I believe you gonna have more of those encounters. Bear with us, the legit dayz players.Bodies despawn pretty fast at the moment to ease on the servers. This is mentioned in a previous patch.On topic though:I always tell my friends that if they die from a hacker, thing of it as maybe you were killed by running into a tree. Becouse its a beta and part of the testing process. It makes atleast me feel better =) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sula 1205 Posted September 5, 2012 Guetapens, enjoyed your tale! :thumbsup: Some days are full of action and some days lead to tears. Well, maybe not but almost! Especially if you've died 20 or 30 times on the same day. :huh: 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
