Are you The Cheater's Bitch?

[crockett (DayZ) 41]

Sadly private hives are not immune to script kiddies but depending how active the admins are it can help you avoid it but I've still fell victim to them many times. I can also tel you stopping and scanning around with your thermal will do little to nothing because any hacker that is going to teleport to you will not be seen as he was just spawn right next to you.

In fact quite the opposite approach is likely a better tactic. If you keep moving at sprint speeds it's harder for them to catch you when they spawn to your location unless they spawn in front of your path. Of course nothing will make you immune from getting insta death by entire server kill offs from of 12 year olds with ADD trying to play god.

In the end, private hives are only as good as the admins that run the server.

We run our server pretty well and with a combination of anti cheat tools plus our own "player behavioural monitor" system and a back up of the d/base every 20 minutes, all any hacker is going to do is waste $30 or whatever it is to replace the cost of their cd key. For us we've lost nothing so it's rather pointless.

As for my thermal scope on the public servers, I think i'm just going to run backwards everywhere :)
