What the hell just happened...? Hacks?

[Nelsoncarmo26]

I was just playing invasion and my computer froze completelly after I got the following message:

someone killed you.

...and the message bellow stated.

someone pushed you off the cliff.

Now, I don't know if this someone is using hacks.
All I know is that my computer froze after that message and I had to restart the computer.

I think I speak for all the other players that this matter should be investigated and find and remove permanentelly any cheaters or hackers that may be disrupting the server.

It's as much for the server's benefit as it is for players that this someone will no longer be able to play here.

I never had any major issues with anyone, besides the odd little argument and the other players know me, and know I have nothing personal against no-one, and if others try to provoke me, I just ignore and carry on playing.

I don't know this person, and never said anything to him/her, so why harrass me with hacks?

Please stop this, or players wont comeback to the server.
I definetivelly am worried this might happen again, and feel apreencive to play on it again.

Why should I or anyone else feel like that?

Please investigate.
Thanks for your time.

Sounds like the server crashed or you were disconnected. Often when it crashes players get "so_and_so pushed you off etc." messages. I think it just attributes your death to whoever was closest to you. I lost connection to all DW servers this afternoon/evening (froze my game like you described).

I think the largest I've seen this chain was with ten players....unfortunately my death messages can only read up to six lines at once.

PlayerF pushed PlayerE over the edge.
PlayerE pushed PlayerD over the edge.
PlayerD pushed PlayerC over the edge.
PlayerC pushed PlayerB over the edge.
PlayerB pushed PlayerA over the edge.
PlayerA pushed DW>Ant over the edge.

But the folks that remained on the server and on vent mentioned that about ten players left at the same time lol.

[Nelsoncarmo26]

Oh I see, that's all it was?
Just a simple crash... phew, atleast I know it's nothing serious.

I got worried there for a minute.

Oh that's a releif then.
It's not nice when it happens, but you can't help the server crashing.

Last person to have shot someone before they die from falling gets credit for the kill. The idea behind this is in maps like DM-Morpheus or CTF-Face when you shock beam someone off the edge of the world, you get credit for it. It's a bit silly this also applies to people on your own team, but I don't think Epic cared enough to make any distinction.

DEEMER n00bs win

When they shoot deemer and it kills them, it also kills the other players like it's a random bullet from nobody.

PlayerA was PULVERIZED by PlayerZ!
PlayerB was PULVERIZED by PlayerZ!
PlayerC was PULVERIZED by PlayerZ!
PlayerD was PULVERIZED by PlayerZ!
PlayerE was PULVERIZED by PlayerZ!
PlayerF was PULVERIZED by PlayerZ!
PlayerG was PULVERIZED by PlayerZ!
PlayerH was PULVERIZED by PlayerZ!
PlayerI was PULVERIZED by PlayerZ!
PlayerJ was PULVERIZED by PlayerZ!
PlayerK was PULVERIZED by PlayerZ!
PlayerL was PULVERIZED by PlayerZ!
PlayerM was PULVERIZED by PlayerZ!

It happened in AkBal-INV map.

Have u ever shot a player (an enemy or a friend, doesn't matter) that jumped into lava or jumped from too high position, and it said u killed him?

That's called "trigger killer".

I know it's annoying, especially when I wanna heal somebody, and it says I killed him -_-'

I've experienced this too. The comp freeze (screen bacame black and sound lag) and then there is a message saying "player_name" killed you. The server did not crashed when it does that to me, it's a client crash. But cause by what?? Since it's not a critical error, i'm wondering if it could be a corrupted packet sent by the server that cause the client to froze. This is just a theory, but need to be verifyed.

It was the MINIBOSS, right?

[Nelsoncarmo26]

No, there's no miniboss in amazing maze map.
it has to be something else.

I think it's probably caused by a disconnect somewhere along your route to the server. I get this often, as somewhere in my route there is a bad switch/router (you may recall times when numerous people have a hard time connecting - I am one of these people usually). Sometimes it is just a momentary disconnect and I can get right back on, but other times I can't see any DW servers (and a few others) in the server browser (yet can see other servers). In other words, my route to Chicago (or at least to the area where our servers are) gets "shut down" but other routes are fine.
