1. Hackers (aka kiddy scriptors) are a pain in the backside and are kill joys.
2. The fact that my character gets spawned back at the coast (even though I am logging in the same server with the updated files) and I have to head back into the mountains.
3. My character dies from random bugs.
What most players do not realized DayZ is in it's Alpha/Beta and it will have bugs and hackers and exploits.
So today I will talk about what hackers/Kiddy scriptors do in DayZ.
1. Welcome to the ThunderDome!In the mid 1980's there was a movie called "Mad Max Beyond the Thunderdome".The plot was about the whole economy collapsed when Gas was tapped out. In the movie, people where thrown in a pit with a giant metal dome cage and would fight to the death.
The normal location of where it is held is the major airfield. They also put a tents down with weapon and ammo creates.
Players were then instantly transported to the airfield, where all their gear gets stripped except their clothes & backpack with the message...
"WELCOME TO THE THUNDER DOME, GUNS ARE IN THE AMMO CRATES, FIGHT TO THE DEATH! UH1H WILL SPAWN IN 5 MINUTES!".
UH1H is a helicopter that allows you to leave the dome but i heard stories that it never happen.
People from all over the server are now scrambling to get weapons to kill each other, DayZ is a dog eat dog world. Of course if they all realized that if no one kills each other, their chances are better at escaping. If you get killed or win you do not get Teleported back and get your gear back, nope. You will have to restart from scratch.If you abort and come back later you be back in the airfield with no gear.
2. The Axe Murders
Imagine this, you and your buddies are on your own running through the wilderness heading to some location. Smoke appears near you. You all ask each other "Who did that?" Then you hear a little girl singing "It's raining, it's pouring, the old man is snoring" continuously. You scratch your heads of the events that are unfolding. Then suddenly Jason Voorhees holding an axe appears from the smoke.
Your face wrinkles with confusion as Jason comes running at you. One of your buddies decides to unload an entire clip into jason with m16, The bullets doesn't even phase him. You wised up and fired your bullets at Jason but find out as well that it is fruitless.
As one, you flee while axe murderer is hot on your heels, while still playing that creepy music.
There are variations, Jason would go invisible and just play the creepy child song over and over, or teleport in front of you.
From what i vaguely grasp it is a combination of scripts of teleportation, invisibility, creating items (Axe and smoke grenade), invulnerability and changing the skins. Arma 2 actually has a very large selection of skins but we only see a few skins in DayZ.
3. Teleportation of Death
One of the most common and unoriginal way of hacking in DayZ. So you are doing your own thing and next thing you are teleported to a various location and the following would happen.
A: You are in the sky and you fall to your death like lemmings.
B: You just die instantly with every one near you.
C: You get shot.
D: You get nuked.
E: Run you over with a vehicle like a Bus or a helicopter.
*The only way is to Abort instantly when you get teleported.
4. Server Nuke or Town Nukes.Server nuke is they instantly kill every one alive or a nuke blew up the entire server in one go. Difference of the two is the first one just kills all living things. Second destroys buildings also.
Town Nukes is when some one blows up a building or a town.
5. Loot bait. Another common hacker trick is to leave creates of loot lying around the game. Where a player would find it, loot it and then find out that they got banned entirely by battleye. My advice, do not take loot from suspicious crates.
