I created a thread to keep tabs of how many times a server is locked/passworded, feel free to post it here, it will be easier for the admins to see which servers are in fault. http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=2079

Well, don't know if you have done something, but the problem is gone. Thanks again for the website and nice work.

Just to show what i have on the forum. I'm on Firefox 12, with Windows 7 64 Pro.

Nice work, the website looks great. However, on the forum, not so much: The new skin looks great if you don't scroll (and the black on white is much easier to read than the previous red on black), but when you scroll down, the dark picture on the sidebars is replaced by a full white background ruining my eyes. I don't know if it is the same with other people, so i wanted to tell it here.

Yeah, but with the last updates, you have a high probability of losing your full magazine even if you just fired one shot.

Honestly, i don't care about the number of zombies, it adds up to the challenge. The big issue in my opinion is that it will promote a lot PKing. Bandits will take whatever sniper they have in hand, shoot from the outskirts of the city, on a roof with a ladder, making them impossible to be caught by zombies, or they will disconnect and reconnect instantly to lose the aggro. And if you try to fire back and play honestly, you catch every zombie around without a way to survive. So yeah, i think we'll probably see a lot more PK along with spawn killing, since it will be quite easier to take a noob's beans and water than going in the city.

Seriously, are we gonna see a new thread every time a server is locked or passworded ? Yes, it is great to see which servers are being used in privacy, but isn't it possible to create ONE single thread collecting all of these informations, along with a screenshot in order to have a proof ? I'm going to create one right now.

Date/Time: 12.05.2012 ~ 10:00 GMT + 1 (roughly) What happened: 6 tents set up on EU 7 + a BAF offroad + a bus +UH1H stored on EU7, used "Save ..." very often. Server crashed - when logged in again tent nowhere to be found... Where you were: EU7 (location only on PM) Contents : Weapons (DMR, M4A3 CCO, several AK74 and AKM, M16A2...) Ammunitions for every weapon we had Medical Supplies Repair parts (everything except engine parts, with 30+ jerrycans). 6 tents BAF Offroad Bus UH1H

I have a question: today, after a server crash, we lost every single vehicle & tent on the server EU7. Is there any way go get them back ?

I'd like to point out that, if the server scrashes, vehicles and tents are NOT saved, as we've painfully experienced on the EU7 server. Lost a BAF Offroad full of stuff and several tents. BTW, is there any way to do a rollback if this kind of crash happens ?

Yeah, server with lots of place at this time are usually completely bugged, it takes hours to pass the loading time and you often spawn with nothing.

I think the removal of a partially used magazine is clearly not a good idea the way it is now. As i saw, you just have to shoot one bullet of a clip to have it removed when you disconnect, with the same probabilities as if the magazine was near empty. So yeah, there's the problem with infinite ammo, but it's quite rage inducing to see the ammo you've been saving for later getting wasted becaus you had to kill one zed. Also, will there be anything done to keep cheaters from ruining the game ? At this rate, it will become a plague if it isn't stopped.

Oh Acebane, sure, one test on one single server is the best way to know if a modification works. Basically every update, Rocket asks for feedback and to test the new changelog. If you want to repair a vehicle/helicopter, you need parts, and a vehicle, and you don't want your search to be ruined by some retarded bandit who will kill you even if you tell them what you're doing. Yeah, about EU7, we've done a lockdown in order to see if car repairs and tents were correctly saved after a server reboot, especially for the repairs.

How do you know it is for personal farming and PvE ? Maybe they're running tests and don't want players to disturb them.

We've done some tests, and what we've got so far: - vehicles are correctly saved and stay where they were even after 2 reboots, but i have to confirm if the gear put in the car stayed there and if the repairs were also kept. - same for tents (gotta see if multi tents work still, we don't have enough tents). - items spawn fine and respawn when previously looted - since the update, we've got one knockdown from a zombie at high blood, i will try to get more informations on this. - finally, don't know if it's related or have been fixed in a previous update, but went from survivor to bandit and from bandit to survivor without losing any gear. However, i'd like to have more informations about the removal of partially used magazines. How does it work ? The emptier the magazine is, the bigger the probability to be removed is ? It's a good way to prevent people from go offline/online just to refill their ammo, but i'd hate to lose one entire clip just because i fired one shot.

Yes you do, you just have to copy/paste in your @dayz folder and replace the older files.

A good idea would be a PvE servers but with much, much harder difficulty settings: - hordes, roaming from one city to another, made of at least a hundred zombies. - less items/ammo/weapons, forcing players to help each other to get their gear working. - harder to kill zombies: only a headshot kill them, other wounds only incapacitate them (shot in the leg -> must crawl, shot in the torso -> can only walk). That's just a few exemple, but the principle is here: replacing the difficulty created from PKs by a more difficult environnment. That way, people can't kill each other, but will be dead really fast without searching for help. Remember: even though were on the internet, people have different tastes. Some enjoy killing each other, some like being versus the computer. Just deal with it and don't whine, on both sides.

Same here, no problem seeing them or taking them in my bag.

I don't want military gear to be a common loot, but a possible loot. If you have a chance to get something even if it is very low, you will go there. That's the same for the villages. If you know there might be something interesting, you'll want to give it a try, and even if you didn't find anything, it was another way to spend time. It's just that right now, there is only a few places you want to go. Most of the inland towns are just forgotten. All i say is, we should find a way to make them more interesting than they are now in their own way.

If you're well organized, it is. The problem is that, apart from the airfield and the military bases (and the corpses of other players), you will never find something really valuable by sheer luck (even if it is a one in a million probability) according to this sheet. So what's the point in trying to exploring the map, the different towns if you know you won't be able to progress anymore.

Same here on DE1 server with a 4x4. We managed to repair one and i drove it for a long time. I left it 5 minutes before the server reboot while staying next to it. After the reboot, i was teleported 4 km away, and my car was nowhere to be seen near me or near the location i left it before the reboot. Also, our items kept being deleted when we put them in the 4x4, being replaced after some time by 15 mags and 2 grenades.
