I've been wanting to find a way to stream to my own computer directly rather than via web so I can run a script to parse the logs for stuff like that. Unfortunately, I don't have a way to stream the files from them yet.

I've got North Carolina 4 from HFB, and loot seems to spawn perfectly for me as far as I can tell. I'd doubt it's a host specific problem regardless, as the server code is all the same.

I had a nice tent city packed into the same spot thanks to the way tents worked this recent patch. Good to see this changed, as I now have an encampment of a LOT of tents in the same spot. I was too used to spamming place tent to get it somewhere. I am curious if there is any possibility of making the Pack Tent option actually removing the tent from the server's database if you are the owner. You can still take tents down, yet they come back up on a server reset.

I cant tell you how awesome it is now that you can lose zombie aggro with LOS, the only issue I have so far is the infinitely spawning packs of zombies (which looks like its being fixex). I'm pretty happy about it overall, and I'm damn sure my sniper friend was happy after fleeing from where he fired and aggroed a whole town. All I saw after looting a building was a group of zombies looking confused at the spot where he had been.

I just put on my first Ghillie Suit yesterday and can confirm that I safely relogged without being thrust into the ocean and forced to mourn the loss of my gear to its depths. Seems safe to me, I've NEVER had an issue with Camo either.

I must say, every day the means to manage the servers has been better and better. I'm really pleased with the service so far. The only thing left I'd like to find out (or hope gets built in as a config option) is how to modify the time offset and if its possible to do so on a server that is shared.

I had my server up and working before 24 hours had even passed' date=' and I've yet to have a single issue with availability. I'm not really sure what time the clock is set to now, or how the game reacts to the system clock. As of now, its certainly not exactly on EST time, but rather seems about 3 hours behind. I'd love if it could be more, maybe see if everyone hosted on that box can ask for the time to be set to the same.

I've only been in a place where I literally could see nothing, and that was in a cave where there was NO light sources. It would also be nice (although a limitation of the map I guess now) if towns had light sources of some sort (street lamps?) that were on. Maybe even flickering for a nice spooky effect. I just got my own server hosted recently, and got on at night time for my server. It was literally so black that the sky was only distinguishable because I started to see stars. It got worse when heavy cloud coverage developed.

No. Subtle identification of bandits is fine, but this gives your position away too well.

Just ordered a server, really nice chat support in answering my questions before I ordered. Hope it goes well!

There certainly needs to be a reason to collaborate with other players, however I'd probably still take the attitude I have now of either avoiding if I can or killing any player I'm not currently on TS with. With the exception of one encounter (where we both simply avoided each other), most attempts at using direct communication to declare "friendly" have resulted in the other party simply shooting me at point blank range.

It certainly is mostly an issue when I hear people using this tactic to swap tent camps quickly to another server with ease. Robbing my whole tent camp shouldn't be something one person can accomplish by simply server hopping and setting up a camp in the same spot then casually coming to move it over time. This may also be partially caused by the fact that 1 tent without fail seems to duplicate itself due to the buggy mechanics involved in placing tents.

I had found a guy on my first day playing, and he had shouted 'FRIENDLY' at me. I was a bit unsure, but got the idea and decided to team up with him to loot a bit. After noticing a better gun on him, and a backpack that I didn't have, I decided to shoot him in the back and take off with all the loot. This came back to haunt me as I was searching the deer stands north of Kamenka. I had seen a guy running from the first two a bit before I got there. I was trying to keep up with him, but didn't have much luck. I got to the third and noticed him crawling towards me. I quickly shouted "FRIENDLY" over direct communication, and he ended up getting up going "Yeah, yeah!" and came over to loot the pile that was on the ground. We had a short conversation, however he suddenly yelled "SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST!" and unloads his AK into my chest. He probably heard the sound of my laughter over direct chat, as it was pretty damn hilarious and probably well deserved.
