hello?

Why are admins restricted by what they can see BTW? To prevent abuse? IMO there would be more cleaning up than abuse at this point am i right?

So me and some buddies found a base...it was covered in sandbags and wire fencing with one entrance...we had a friend traveling to us he said a UHAL was making its way from the forest south of where we were...we assumed it was them. ANYWAY one the people shoot someone at the base in a ghillie suit with civilian clothing EVERYWHERE (probably using that exploit where you drop the ghillie and log out or something then pick it back up it does something.) literally a minute after we get a battleye global saying the server was going to restart...coincidence? Anyway were like "wow admin got all mad cause we found him and his buddies base" so we log out and wait...we then log back in after restart....the entire base is now changed...as if reverted to a previous time or "save" the base was now COMPLETELY un-enterable with the tents inside. People said admins have no control over the map and loot..that is bullshit this is the second time ive seen this on NY8 too where i looted a tent city and a day later i go back...everything i stole was still there....as if it never happened.... Here are some screens of the impossible to get in version of the base 2 videos will be posted soon of the pre and post server restart. We then had a couple go on a server and get into the camp, the loot we took had respawned in their tent...this is the third or fourth time ive seen this happen when i found a camp and loot it go back and the same loot is still there...except it isn't just coincidence this is also the second time ive seen a restart change the game world..immediately after looting or killing someone near a tent city. P.S Pretty sure the admin and friends are the players using the HSZ prefix, just saying.

I guess i can but they transported most the loot out already. Also ya to anyone who doesn't think they are exploiting...your an idiot to tell me all that wire fencing is not duped...there are like three fences per sandbag. 091 003 BTW US 283 VET

Im talking mainly how they reverted or changed the map from there base being covered to completely locked down by sandbags and barbed wire RIGHT after we killed someone at the base...and there is an exploit where restarts dupe items in tents...hence the title EXPLOIT and how i mentioned how i seen this before where tents miraculously have their loot back...after a restart.

Watch and read...the map had 2 versions the first vid shows how there was an opening in the sandbags and fencing....the second (and screenshots) show the new (post restart) map where the layout of the camp had actually changed...

As in servers that don't erase all gear in tents i put up...seriously not even an hour goes by and the items just vanish from the tent.

ya maybe from other players...but what is the point in adding features that don't even work...(i.e tents and saving tents/vehicles)

I think the whole save system is just fucked idk if it has always been this way or just post .17.5 but i had saved two vehicles right? the first vehicle save attempt 2 nights ago failed and it was gone the next day...i retrace our steps and find it no where near any spot i saved it at... We then find another vehicle...we then hide them...i then spam save both....we drive one...server restarts while driving...we get back in that car is gone not even back at tent...but the first vehicle is still there...the next day...the first vehicle is now also gone.... I know they weren't stolen in that short amount of time that is just an excuse everyone gives to deny that the game is broken...just like when we lose stuff IRL we think someone stole it. THE REASON I THINK IT IS SERVER RELATED...is because every server i tried setting a tent up at tends to restart itself 3-4 times a day while the one server i have a successful tent at restarts rarely and also has loot still untouched...

ala demon/dark souls...but free write not presets. It would help me know when the game fucks up and erases my tents and cars or if someone just took it....come one you know most people would leave a bragging note behind if they could. Also it would be more entertaining to see random notes for fun or serious business like PVP warning. Or recent events like random journal pages. Ya the clutter could be pretty intense but could be controlled by only allowing one person to write one message per server and if they write another it erases the previous.

exactly but how do i find a "stable" server

there has only been one server that doesn't erase my tent...but i want to put multiple tents on multiple servers but when i try other servers they just get wiped...

Im talking safe SERVERS most servers i put tents in everything is just gone the next day or way less than that I put them in the middle of nowhere there is no way people found them and looted them completely every time also i thought i lost a vehicle along with a tent...come to find out it was reverted back to some random location along the path i took the previous night....not where i saved it but the tent was empty.

give a lat and long please i wanna know so i dont set a base up too far north or west

ya i see it when heading west but north there seems to be similar case but random spots of trees. so i didnt know if north had trees and empty land.

or is 000 the "safe" number?

I was told you can't go too far out of the map to set up stuff cause now it despawns....so what is the "safest" lat and long.

Server restarts multiple times a day....the tent i placed was gone but reappeared with nothing in it...the truck is also gone...im assuming the server fucked me over due to what happened to tent but im just curious if someone took that truck just to be sure. P.S anyone know any "safe" servers to start a base on im soooooooooooooo fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucking tiiiiiiiiiiiiiired of my stuff just vanishing the next day...

Where did you find it oh great and masterful thief....

no this was just last night...we hid it and logged now its gone the tent vanished but then the server restarted off schedule and the tent was back...nothing in it...and the truck has yet to reappear...it really feels like servers have just been plain broken recently, but ya like i said. Are there any "safe" servers that don't erase loot like tents and vehicles cause every server i try starting a base on seems to F me over.

by the server schedule it has restarted over 2 times since we hid the truck...how many more should i wait for

Ya but those are for everyone to see and they are vague plus they could have been 10 weeks or so old it would be cool to have a more personal way but ya your right i just wish the map markers had time stamps or something. But ya the ability to leave a note in a tent or near a camp would just be great i think.

Also i had a white off road truck on a us 500 server (now 666) and it had also dissapeared the next day...half of me feels like the servers are just fucked due to the recent influx of updates for arma and day (it went from a hiatus of updates to back to back up dates, plus the beta updates) Other half has me thinking that admins have just finally found a way to control loot in their server.

I know ever since post 1.7.5 it really feels like admins have found a way to control the servers game world through rollbacks since ive seen a FUCKTON of server restarts constantly and also my loot vanishing everytime i try setting up a camp. INFACT one time i went to a server and found the admin and friends's tents...i looted with friends...the next day everything we stole was back....after we put a tent close to it on the same server and moved stuff to that one...the next day we came back tents were empty and the admin tents had not re spawned the loot again...i really think they were able to keep refreshing their tents... P.S i know it was the admins tents because of a major coincidence lol

Also they would despawn daily or weekly depending on how serious the risk to FPS and or performance lag could be
