Bernardo (DayZ)

Hi, Is there a decent sever provider out there? I also run Epoch. I have now tried 3 and all of them have failed to provide a decent server. Survival Servers: Really really shit suppliers, the worst SCUM in the universe. DayZ.st: Fantastic support, no FTP access but worst thing for me was server performance and lag was very evident after more than 15 players on a server. HFB: Unforgivable customer service, if my server dies I expect it to be working again within 6-12 hours. I am not sure which ones run Epoch, I think DayZPriv are about the only company left, but they charge quite alot more for having an Epoch server. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I have been with HFB servers for about 2-3 months now, although the server performance is very good, there support is beyond a joke. My server went down Thursday morning whilst I was asleep it has now been 48 hours and the response I recieved was: "Hello Sorry for the long response time, Two of our main support reps have been away due to personal issues. As such we have had nobody around for the past 48 hours to handle support. First off I want to say the situation regarding your server is a bit hard to explain, but I will do my best to explain. We have recently began preparing for upcoming product launches and have began attempting to change all of our servers with the several providers we use to be due on the same day. Our US billing changes have gone off without issue however due to a language barrier our France changes have not. We have servers with 3 separate providers in France, Two employ English speaking support reps and one does not (the one you are with) As such the others for the most part have been able to understand what we want to do, but due to a misunderstanding the provider we use for a few machines (yours included) thought we wanted to cancel the servers and re-order them on a certain day, however when they responded google translate made it sound like they understood our request and would change billing to the certain date. So I of course said perfect that is what we want to do. Then starting on the 21st around 3am in the USA (while I was sleeping) they began shutting down all of our servers with them and reformatting them, once again, because they thought we wanted to cancel and re-order on a certain date, so we have lost about 5 machines worth of clients due to this mistake and now must re-order, but the re-order time frame is going to be several days due to a backlog of servers they need to setup. Once we get the new replacement machines in we will be setting up all the people with down servers on the new servers. Anthony Henson CEO/Owner HFBServers LLC" According to their website they have servers available in France, so why couldn't he set me up with a new IP. I will probably lose alot of players and donators due to this in my opinion poor response. Although AllanString is the rudest person you are ever likely to encounter in your life, least when something went wrong with DayZ.st the problem was always fixed in a few hours and if your server went down, you went onto IRC(Internet Rudeness Chat) and DayZ.st would have your server fixed within 10 minutes. The problem looks very unlikely to ever be fixed so I will be switching over to another provider again. What actual decent server providers are there with decent server performance like HFB and full FTP acces but without the really shit support that comes with HFB?

I have just switched from dayz.st to HFB. I was with dayz.st for 7 months and at the beginning they were amazing, but the problem now is they have too many customers and the support has gone completely down the toilet. They never respond anymore to emails, last one I sent took 3 days to get an answer, and it takes them an eternity to get updates rolled out. The biggest problem I have though with dayz.st is the lag of the servers- they advertise 50 slot servers but anything over 25 players and the server grinds to a halt. Also the complete rudeness provided on IRC by a certain Allanstrings is unacceptable. I am glad now I left dayz.st as they had their day, they are a good server provider to people who want to get started hosting a server for the first time and don't have a population but after that they are awful. Scores - Dayz.st 2 - Server performance - As stated anything over 25 players and the servers lag out 5 - Control panel - The best control panel without a doubt of any server provider. 3 - Access to files - Have access to Mission.pbo and server.pbo and incredibly easy to upload - BE scripts upload via FTP 1 - Update Availability - 1.7.7 still isn't up and Epoch 1.0.1.1 took an eternity to appear and kept going told it would happen tonight, 4 days in a row. 1 - Customer service - Make a complaint and you will be called a Douche, submit a ticket and wait 3-5 days. 5 - Setup time - Incredibly quick setup as happens instantly. Scores - HFB ? - Server performance - Can't judge yet as in the process of using this server as a test. But do get much better FPS and AI now runs and not stutters 2 - Control panel - Basic and feels clunky, but gets the job done 4 - Access to files - Have access to all files on the server, gets marked down as nowhere near as easy to upload as dayz.st 5 - Update Availability - 1.7.7 was up instantly, same as Epoch 1.0.1.1 ? - Customer service - Never contacted customer service. 3 - Setup time - Completed within 24 hours as promised I can't really review HFB as of yet as don't have it set up to run the server at present, when it switches I will update the scores above.

Has Epoch been updated yet?

Hi, I was just wondering if anyone from these forums rent servers for Epoch. I currently rent from dayz.st and server performance is really abysmal, I get around 30-40 players per day on the server at peak times. During this time the server lags incredibly badly, can take 10 minutes to buy an item and FPS drops to a level which is unplayable. Also during this time after 30 players, other people struggle to join the server and they just get something went wrong or turn to birds. I already restart the server every 2 hours, this helped a little but the server is unplayable after 15-20 people join so much for the 50 slot servers. Anyway, I am not sure which other providers supply Epoch apart from dayz.st and Survival Servers, but I would never go back to them for the way I was treated during my time with them. So any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks I would also consider hosting my own, but the control panel programs don't have Epoch and I don't have a clue where to start in regards to start hosting my own.

This server has just gone through alot of updates and now contains alot of new scripts, please feel free to try out the server. There is a strong admin team and any hackers and cheaters will be quickly banned. The server is monitored by Gotcha Anti-Hack and The Silent Warrior Admin Tool. So if you are looking for a stable community, with good people with a helpful attitude, this might be your new "home". The server also runs rMod which allows players to have unique vehicles and weapons which are not allowed in the normal DayZ mod. The server IP is: 5.63.147.156:3357 Server Email: [email protected] The server website has now re-launched with a lot of new changes and now includes online forums, the forums can be used to chat and to make further suggestions towards the server. The new website is: http://dayztvirusserver.co.uk HERE IS AN OVERVIEW OF WHAT THE SERVER IS ABOUT AND NEW IMPLEMENTATIONS: CUSTOM SCRIPTS: BTK Cargo Drop =BTC= Logistic Script Debug Monitor Dynamic Weather Effects Vehicles Flip Full Moon Nights BASE BUILDING: All players who are joining this server are allowed to create and add their own bases to the map. Bases give players added protection as their loot can't be stolen. This is possible with a unique server admin tool developed by The Silent Warrior, which allows the placement of 'Iron Domes', these domes will only allow 'Authorised' players to enter the base location. To start constructing your own base just use the FREE Arma 2 OA 3D Editor. There are several un-occupied bases across the map which clans and players can fight for. BASE RAIDING: Bases on the server are all protected by 'Iron Domes' and can't be entered during weekdays, but from Midnight Friday to Midnight Sunday GMT base raiding will be allowed on the server. During this time bases can be raided and players can steal items and vehicles from the bases, but vehicles can't be damaged or destroyed during this time. We also encourage that you try to only raid bases of the players who are online at the time, this allows players the chance to defend their items. BI-WEEKLY HUNGER GAMES: Every 2 weeks a 'Hunger Games' scenario will be played out across 4 GRID positions, where everyone will have their weapons taken away and there will be a camp of loot in the area and the last surviving player will receive a vehicle of choice and a URAL full of special gear. Please check out the new website for all the new rules and information. If you would like to try the server just log in as the server is no longer password protected. If you would like to try the server please visit the website or just give the server a go: The server IP is: 185.2.138.76:3170 There is no password so please check us out.

There is a hunger games tonight at 10.30PM GMT. The winner will receive an invite to the Arma 3 Alpha.

Sorry but the tent issue has nothing to do with dayz.st being bad hosts, it is a problem with the dayz code, which Erson and DayZ.st have no control over what so ever. The tents have been broke since 1.7.6 as there was a fix for 1.7.5.1, so think of a different solution to the problem, give them CAMO URAL's or UAZ's to replace the tents are fixed and back up the deployable table until they are fixed, players will leave servers for tents not working, but as an admin you should be given them information via server messages that way they will understand the situation and not run to a different server.

Does anyone know how to edit heli crash site loot now?

If you read my post, I was actually asking how long it takes to get the scripts.txt I emailed you to be added with my server. But that answer went ignored, so guessing is your too busy to care. This is a completely different service from when I first got a server from you guys. I really do hope your customer service improves and you get back to how you were, but seems to be a problem with DayZ server suppliers they get too big too quick and can't cope. You have been a great supplier so far, but if you fall into being like Survival Servers and not giving a crap about current customers. If you can't give FTP access why can't you just give people access to the scripts.txt, that way we can update ourselves, without having to wait 18 hours with still no response.

How long does it take to get your scripts.txt updated after sending an email?? You guys used to be amazing at doing stuff and answering emails. Has been nearly 12 hours now and never waited longer than an hour for a response normally. I really hope this is just a blip and your not going the way of Survival Servers and getting too big too quick that you can't cope with the work load. Maybe this is also why we have not seen any new features(except maps) in ages and we STILL don't have FTP access even though that has been said is coming for the last 2 months. I have been with you now for 3 months and just started my 4th and this is the first time I have been unhappy with the service.

Have now relocated the server to the UK due to most current players playing from the UK. If you want to come check us out you are more than welcome. I have spent some time this morning adding plenty of new vehicles along the coast so you shouldn't be running for more than 5 minutes before you find a vehicle or two, most coast vehicles are bikes and motor bikes with lots of cars in towns and villages, these do have some damaged components as I don't want to make things too easy.

Sorry but you guys are a bunch of criminals. You steal money for a service you don't provide. I have never dealt with a company as bad as yours, you lie and steal.

The server has now been implemented with the following scripts: BTK Cargo Drop =BTC= Logistic Script Debug Monitor Dynamic Weather Effects We have now started getting a few players and would love a couple of clans to join the server.

I would highly recommend dayz.st providing you want everything done for you or you want to run other maps. But I am starting to get a little frustrated with dayz.st now with the lack of FTP access, this is something SS offer. I have been with both SS and DAYZ.ST and DAYZ.ST wins hands down for me.

FIXED...

Has anyone had a go yet at adding rMod weapons to spawns? What files do I need to edit to add the weapons to care packages, I know how to change the Heli Crash site loot but would rather just change the care packages. There is a file called: fnc_carePkgs - is this the file I need to edit. As I have added the lift script and debug menu in the last couple of days and now trying to work on loot spawns, I have also been adding lots of different strongholds throughout the map, but now just want to edit the care packages.

Is anyone here using the lift script on Chernarus? If so what script are you using? As I have had people requesting if this can be added, my server runs rMod. I grabed one called BTK_Cargo_Drop_v192 but not sure if this is the right one as seems there are few similar scripts available.

The first Hunger Games is going to take place on the server tonight at 9PM EST(2AM GMT). If anyone is interested in playing just log into the server before 9PM and then everything can be prepared and we can get started. The winner will receive unique items and RMOD vehicles of their choosing.

The server now has a Private Teamspeak server setup. Please check the website for details.

I am currently looking for one admin to help the server. I am looking for someone who will pretty active on the server, and preferably an individual who plays in a small group of 2-3 players, this is to try and prevent admin abuse which takes place pretty regularly with clans.

Unfortunetly you said the devil word "Survival Servers" Chocolate teapots have a better reputation than those guys.

The best thing to do is watch a couple of videos on Youtube on how to use the editor that is what I done. But also as stated the website used to change the files to .sql so you can import them in the database is currently producing loads of errors, so you can create loads of stuff now just don't import it until the errors are fixed with the website.

1. You can manually refuel vehicles at the moment using the database, even though it wouldn't be as easy a control panel fix it is possible to do. 2. When we have FTP access we should be able to change all the helicopter loot tables, as I want this to be able to add RMOD weapons. 3. You can add buildings by using the 3D editor and using the following tool to import them into the database. http://dayz.wofjwof.com/map.php The tool importer is broken at present and will miss out parts of walls and other items, it did work perfectly though about a week ago so hopefully it is fixed again very soon.
