We can now add the female skin to all our female player profiles (or those guys that like dressing up as girls). Just ask in chat!

I've stayed in the bathroom way longer than that.. If you want details I can post them :P

Don't contact Battle Eye, don't complain here, don't complain anywhere.. Forget about it, move on... Check your computer for viruses and trojan horses, run a fresh install of windows and start from scratch.. Don't download from dodgy sites, and don't lie about it if you do :P In short.. Once banned by Battle Eye, you can kiss your access to BE protected servers goodbye.. The guy who developed BE is never wrong, and neither is his software and you are always a hacker, even if you're not, but that's just a technicality ;) Seriously though, I feel your pain .. Just wait until the standalone and this will be a thing of the past ;)

Hey Fred, good to see your server getting some exposure. You've worked hard on that mission file, hope people appreciate :) This is Hayward from OpenDayz btw ;)

Refunded. Fair comment btw, but Shotz lied, shit stirred and went back on his word (that's a grown man for you, right there). I can't comment for the other members, but they were fueling each other with the trolling and douche bag behavior My guys are mostly decent helpful players, or they don't stick around. Your guys turned up with sniper weapons, one guy had 4 frags in his backpack, yet your clan claimed we were cheating with just one player who had a DMR ? lol.. ok.. (coincidentally, only one of your players was killed with the DMR, the others were killed with the default loadout we chose and I took out 3 of them myself.. so the DMR argument was just another "cry baby" tactic to justify your clans poor behavior when they're obviously losing!). Anyway, this is just "he said, she said" bullshit.. take care ;)

In the logs it says you were kicked because you weren't white listed (it doesn't say anywhere that you were banned, not sure why you got that message), the kick message is the same one everyone else gets when they aren't white listed. I'll gladly paste my bans list on here and let you see your guid isn't on it , if you like ? Your crew were shit stirring a lot last night, I hope this isn't the same thing happening again here, because nobody gets banned unless they've broken the rules. Your crew are simply not welcome because they don't play fair and accuse other players of doing stuff that they themselves are doing (there are several independent players not connected with unit487 who will confirm what happened). We also found hacked weapons in your base, only a couple but enough to prove you guys cheat as well (I've found other posts around the net claiming the same about your clan). So again, sorry its come to this. Confirm the name you used for the donation and i'll refund you asap.

You're not banned Monkey. The white list was reset last night and I've had to re-white-list everyone, you can confirm this on teamspeak with other players, not just my clan. Nobody has been banned, the white list issue had nothing to do with the UX dispute. However, the UX group that were on and behaved in such a two-faced manner will not be allowed back again. If you want white listing again, let me know.. I'll gladly refund you btw, this was never my intention for it to get this far. Let me know what you'd like to do Monkey, I've got no beef with you either way.

Regarding white listing and asking me questions on Teamspeak: Please do not get upset or rage quit with a sarcastic comment just because I haven't answered your question straight away (I'm either away my from computer dealing with work issues, spending time with my friends in the real world or possibly just unable to respond at that exact moment because I'm being chased by bandits in-game). In short, I'm not always at my computer, that little Away icon means that I'm either busy and can't answer, or that I'm actually not sat at my computer. So either leave an email address where I can get back to you on my return, or wait (yes, it could be hours before I get back to my pc, sorry about that). Like i said in a previous post, I'm keeping myself out of game politics and all that other time consuming spam, so just be patient with me regarding all other issues.

Rules: (because without them, it's chaos!) The Admin Base (you'll know if you come accross it) and the admin Helicopters (MH60S's) are for admins only, if you enter the admin base and take an admin vehicle or loot our stuff, you will be banned for life (this only applies from within our base). However, If you are lucky enough to steal anything from us OUTSIDE of our base, expect swift and painful retaliation ;) No stealing from other bases (aka camps) or destroying vehicles from other bases. If you are caught or found out , you will face a 72 hour ban. If you are a persistent camp robber, we'll ban you. All camp visitors are logged in the .rpt file. Please only use Global Side Chat (the blue one) for typed messages. Of course the exception to this rule is if you're in trouble i.e you're dying somewhere and need a blood transfusion from anybody in the area asap. Also feel free to use it for letting others know if you suspect a hack is taking place and to get the attention of an admin. Use the appropriate side channel for your needs. i.e if you're close to someone use Direct Communication, and if you're in a vehicle use Vehicle Chat (voice chat is permitted for either). No shooting, killing or trolling players in the Community Camp and Trading Zone (Devils Castle). No tricking bambies so you can get a lol kill. I'll be monitoring the chat logs and repeat offenders will be banned. I particularly dislike this type of bandit, play fair or get lost! You don't have to kill other players and they don't have to kill you! DayZ is a survival game, not a deathmatch! Script kiddies, grievers, trouble causers and hackers will be banned without warning (We run Gotcha and BE, but our admins are also constantly checking backpacks and inventories, along with the vehicle logs etc.). Please keep the cursing and rants to a minimum. If you start to upset people with your negative language we may be forced to kick you off the server and possibly even ban you.

Rules have changed. No more safe bases and no more custom base building options. No more custom loadouts. No more answering questions in sidechat (ask here) I want to make something crystal clear as well. NON of my admins apart from me and my senior admin (bomo) have access to vehicle spawning and other admin based tools. All my other admins have RCON only, so stop with accusing them of cheating, if you can't beat them it's because you're not as good, simple as. Even I get my ass handed to me by other players, do you see me shouting "hacker" or "cheater"? If you get nailed by an admin heli, tough shit. It's no more an unfair advantage than you killing me with a DMR while all I have on me is a hatchet. Get over it, it happens, someone bigger and better than you will always come along in the end anyway. If my admins are cheating, I'll deal with them, as I've always done. I work to dam hard trying to please everyone, and that's never going to happen, but I keep trying anyway. As of today I'm removing myself from the frontline. You will not get much more than white listed or banned by me, respectively!

I agree, we use Dayz.st ourselves and the support is appalling to say the least. A few weeks ago their entire network went down and their IRC channel was full of people asking wtf was going on (several hours downtime, and not even an update on their twitter), but instead of getting the respect paying clients deserve , two of their admins decided to lock the channel and mock everyone instead, telling everyone to stop moaning and "Shut up" in their own words, apparently because the boss doesn't like it when customers complain. This entire conversation between these two admins was going on while the channel was locked to regular user input, they even mocked us with "look, they can't speak anymore. aaw, my server isn't working" .. shit like that, and this isn't the first time they've behaved like this either, the service gets worse even though they claim they're making improvements. Like recently they did some database transfers, moving stuff around for better performance (according the messages on my control panel), well.. My server is lagging worse than ever, rcon is up and down like a yoyo, the database has lag spikes that mean players lose gear or dysnc into nowhere and I'm just not confident with emailing them anymore, especially after the way they've treated me and their other customers to date.. People only stick with them because of the map tool and the cpanel .. As long as I never have to speak with them about issues again, I'll be staying, but the minute another dayz host offers the features that Dayz.st do, I'm jumping ship.. I'll get a few flames for this, but I'm not concerned with those. I just want people to know what they are letting themselves in for. If you don't want support, go with dayz.st , but if you want support and don't want abuse or half hearted idiot replies, stay well clear... Edit: Every response related to downtime is always "DDOS" .. It's like nothing else ever goes wrong with their servers (you know, like they never mess something up themselves), nope it's always another DDOS... They are the blackhole of DDOS attacks.. .

Let me know when you're next on and can do the video from your heli and we'll do it then.. No rush :P

@Badass68, Thanks mate. Everyone loves the new map, couldn't have done it without you :) @PredatorSchnizel, a great idea... Let's do that this evening :)

Less music and maybe a little commentary ... These videos are better when narrated with interesting dialog than cheesy music and tee-hee captions!

Our server is noob friendly , but we have AI bandits and allow PVP. You could give my friends server a try, they are NON PVP and very friendly: 67.228.177.32:3017 Good luck :) Edit: Tell them Hayward sent you, and he says hi ;)

Yeah, one of my moderators (called himself an admin) was running around my server with hacks, doing stupid shit like this as well. I banned him and haven't let him back on since. See if you can find the head admin and report this douche bag. All the same though, name and shame that moron and his server.. Others should know to avoid that server. Sorry to hear you had a tough time though, shame he ruined your fun for you. I remember the first time I found a heli :D

Pull the other one, it's got bells on it. Whether you're cheating with scripts or using your database tools, you can't fool me. You can edit your world space in the database and it takes less than 30 seconds, requires you to be in the lobby when it's changed and NO server reboot. Let's face it though, legit means nothing in dayz.. You started your own server for the same reason everyone else does, so that you can have all the admin power for a change.. Hey, that's why I started my own server, at least initially anyway.. Oh and you only fessed up to the cheat scripts on here to cover your back in the event that someone outed you here as well... Wish you all the best of luck though! ;)

Why do you need ESP to test Halo? I've got that on my server too and it works perfectly fine without the need for godmode, invisible or ESP .. As for needing these tools to mod testing, that's laughable. Why not just own up and admit you and your admin cheat :P People who complain about admins getting perks should grow up and stop being retarded. If you run your own company you'd be expected to have some perks of ownership, so the same should apply to being a server admin. I make no excuses for having perks on my server, non whatsoever and I even have a spectate script that allows me and one other senior admin to monitor players directly (the same way a business owner might have hidden cameras to catch thieves and corrupt employees). We don't engage in PVP or indulge by cheating gear in, and we certainly don't have god mode, invisible or ESP.. Saying you installed those for testing is BS and you know it, just own up and admit your original post was just a lie to get people onto your server? lol ;) EDIT: I'm honored that you're using my Dual Admin Debug Monitor btw, just logged on and saw it.. ;) https://github.com/n...n_Debug_Monitor I see from your pbo that you also have cheat menus for weapon kits and zombie shield etc.. Nice, for a thread that starts "sick of admin advantages?" ...

Next weekend is going to be slightly better, with a little twist to the usual gameplay :P

Thanks again to Shotz for this sweet video taken during the recent Silent Hill Weekend :)

Many thanks to Shotz for this brilliantly funny video: http://youtu.be/I56XL1RkYO8?t=1m59s

Thanks to Badass68, we now have absolutely loads of new content on our map. New buildings, towns, bases and other surprises. We had some issues with the bridge sinking into the ocean that would normally link the mainland to the Skalisty Island, but that should be fixed soon. The map is still being road tested by our players, so we'll wait for more feedback before we commit any changes, but meanwhile why not come and check it out for yourself. Don't forget that all this weekend is our Silent Hill theme.. Nothing fancy, just fog, atmospheric tweaks and really aggressive zeds ;)

You get to test the map out with me tonight mate, I'll be locking the server from about 9pm for an hour or two while we test it, ready for the official launch tomorrow morning ;)

Bodies despawning too fast! We are aware of this issue but can't seem pinpoint the cause right now. I'll do my best to have this fixed by the end of next week :(

Ideas for safe bases: I've given the safe base idea some serious thought over this week and I've come up with two suggestions I'd like to hear your feedback on.. 1. Instead of teleporting unauthorized players away from the base when they try to enter, I'd like to recommend that their presence simply be broadcast to everyone on the server (i.e something like "Playername: I'm entering the Admin base") and logged in the servers report file, so if anything is stolen or destroyed, we know who to chase up about it. 2. Or we simply log their presence to the servers report log without the global message. I'd like to see base owners actively defending their bases instead of just hiding behind the force fields. The rule about stealing and griefing bases for the sheer hell of it will still apply and anyone found breaking this rule will be banned. This change would also apply to the admin base as well. No special treatment for us ;) What are your thoughts?
