Yeah, I got to try one of those at the Hawken after party last Friday night.

Server is down for another day today.. that makes 4 days out of the last week and a half the server we're paying you for hasn't been available. To make matters worse you haven't answered the support email I sent early this morning to open a ticket.. you haven't had anyone in your own Teamspeak all day. 24/7 support my backside. What are we paying you for if you can't keep the servers up and deliver on your promise of 24/7 support?

Did you even bother to read my post or did you just knee jerk react? You say you aren't a fan boy but you are posting just like one. I suspect it is the latter since I've stated a couple times that it has been over 24 hours and no, as in ZERO, response to my support email. This isn't a dayZ bug causing this. The server went down yesterday, nobody from Vilayer was even on their TS yesterday AT ALL. Gain some reading comprehension and then come back and post something relevant. Good on you for having your problems solved in 20 minutes. That isn't universal though. I suggest YOU remove your self from the testing phase if all you can do is spout garbage in defense of a company that isn't keeping its end of the SLA. Now.. as of this time I've been able to get into the ACP and get my server up. However, I can't update to 1.7.2.5 and the latest beta version because those options aren't available.

HEh.. Great. Glad you haven't had problems. I and many others have. Over 24 hours now with no response on my Ticket request. Can't access the ACP either which means we can't get to the Rcon either. Lee is the only one on their TS but he's muted and deafened. This is friggin stupid. 5 days of down time out of 11 now....

It's not just hackers. There are groups of players out there that are moving from server to server with the sole intention of putting every vehicle they can into the ocean just to grief. As people know, by now, once a vehicle is in the ocean it gets glitched. I know several servers where the UH-H1 was stolen and intentionally crashed into the ocean so it would glitch out and not respawn. Trolls will be trolls whether they are hackers or just idiots out to ruin peoples fun.

Backed up is one thing.... this is flat out not answering support tickets. 4 days of downtime out of the last 10 is bloody ridiculous. They advertise 24/7 support well.. two emails sent since early this morning and I've still heard absolutely nothing back from them on the issue with the server.

Heh.. well my server is NOT online with a new control panel or not and none of your support staff are on teamspeak. I've also not gotten a ticket number from the email I sent to support early this morning. This makes the second time in two weeks the server has gone down. First time it was down for 30+ hours.. this time it is already approaching 12 hours of down time.

Just logged in to US 758. No sooner had I logged in to a remote location than I was unloaded on. I'm talking 2 seconds after logging on I was shot down by automatic weapon way to the west of Zelenogorks. Only two players on at the time. It was either <FOX>Meeky, which I doubt, because we had been on the server together for about an hour. Or it was lolthegame which he was new to the server from only a few minutes. I know this because I had logged out briefly while I grabbed something to drink and Meeky and I were the only ones on, came back and he was on the server. As soon as I logged in.. :boom:: unloaded on. He either teleported to me somehow or he killed me in the debug forest. Unfortunately the screen shot of the users turned out black for some reason. But the time this happened was 8:45pm PST.

Heh. I'm about to recommend to the Server Admin we go with a different host. 30+ hours of downtime now with no resolution. Been on their Teamspeak the past two nights for a combined total of 15 hours or so.. Heard from one of their guys saying the server was stopped and he started it. Hadn't started.. wasn't reporting in server selection. Told him that and he asked me who the TCadmin user was... told him that... and that I was on Teamspeak and what my handle was... and then nothing more. Silly thing was I was on their Teamspeak with the ticket number in my handle like they say. Instead of sending me emails they could have talked to me directly and yet... here we are.. It is getting beyond frustrating.

Unless your server has been down for the last 30 some odd hours like a large number of east coast servers. At least we can get into TCadmin now and it shows status: Unknown.

If by very fast you mean 10-15 hours of waiting... ok... sure... Seriously I waited on their Teamspeak for 4 hours last night and didn't get to talk to anyone and there were only 3 of us waiting for support on there. Today the control panel logon has a java script error going on and their teamspeak is flooded with people... NOT being helped. Starting to get royally pissed here. Meanwhile.. 16 hours and counting that the server has been down.

Yeah zombie spawns/aggro seems to have gone back to near 1.7.1 levels.. you know the insane levels that had everyone raging? Not sure how much you changed the zombie hearing but I know their eyesight is still insane.. I've had Zombies aggro on me through half a towns worth of buildings and never fired a shot to do so.

Rocket, since you took out the numeric temperature indicator from the debug monitor.. could you at least change the bloody thermometer indicator to show red when at normal temp and slowly change to blue as you get colder?

So much rage for such a simple statement by me. I never said I DC'd. Not once did I say that. IF you read carefully you would see that I said I logout.... as in Clicking on Abort not an alt-f4. I really don't care if people believe me about my daughter or not. It was a means of pointing out legitimate reasons for people having to log in and out frequently. Please, once again note that I used LOG OUT not DC. Rocket has already responded by saying proper logout would not affect reputation. That's good enough for me. As to your assertion that I could go hide, go prone or whatever.. I'll do that just as soon as ESP hacks are made ineffective in this game.

Only problem I see with this is... when I play Day Z I sometimes get interrupted by my daughter or someone else in my family. I log out to deal with it. This can happen quite often as my daughter has some medical issues. Scenarios like that need to be taken into account.

What are you babbling about dude? Who said ANYTHING about new players in the post of mine you are quoting. Gain some reading comprehension and come back, read the post again and THEN make an intelligent point that has something to do with the content of my post. Talk about demonstrating how stupid you are....

1) Just to be sure I was seeing the same thing I spent a long time last night checking the bases and camps on different servers. (Not server hopping really as you have to run an awful lot and do a lot of sneaking to check all of them on a server) I can definitely say that the loot spawns are screwy right now. A lot of trash on the Mil bases.. less guns but a whole lot of empty cans/bottles and a little bit of ammo. Even in the apartments and schools/firehouses there is just way more trash now along with flares and chem lights than there were in 1.7.0. 2) Even in cities with stores and restaurants/bars there is very little food spawning. Not as big a problem now that you can hunt decently but I can see it being an issue for respawns. 3) Either one of two things happens, I've noticed, Weapons spawn with no ammo.. and it appears universal across the area you are in. Or you get ammo spawns with no guns around. This means you have to change to a different town/area of the game to match stuff up or server hop. 4) Ever since the bandit skin removal it is just kill anyone you see. You HAVE to if you don't want to lose what progress you have made. There is Almost ZERO cooperation now unless you know the person in real life. I've seen more instances of people luring someone in with a promise of cooperation and then killing them than I did pre- 1.6.0.1. You'll see it with respawns but inevitably someone will kill the person they were working with because that person found an item the other wanted. After reading the PC Gamer interview with the Dev team I have to wonder how much of this is on purpose. Supposedly they want a spirit of cooperation even with safe zones being built eventually but with the way things are now that will never happen. Heck.. he introduced Infection to the server because he felt big groups were getting too cocky and wanted to see if illness would break them up. This was stated in the interview. IT is completely counter to trying to promote ANY cooperation because once a group starts working well together something else will be introduced to make stupid to try. Quote from the interview: "Buchta:: That’s a less than healthy way to support cooperative gameplay… Hall: Well, that’s why I introduced it, because there were a few groups that were getting way too cocky. I was like, haha, this is going to nail you. I went a bit overboard, people got too cold too quick. " Sorry man but either you want to support cooperative gameplay or you want total anarchy.. you can't really have it both ways. Granted you released it in a too deadly format unintentionally that isn't wnat I'm talking about. I'm talking about your intention to tear those groups apart knowing how problematic the Antibiotic spawn rate was. I was disappointed to read that, really. It seemed kind of spiteful.

Actually... we are customers as a lot of people bought Combined Ops because of Day Z. Most of the ideas of this patch were great. I would have thrown in a bottle of water and can of food.. The hypersensitive Zombies are a bit much especially without any way to defend yourself in the beginning. Even with a starting gun a lot of new players died in the first 5 minutes of their first spawn. We'll see what the hotfix brings...
