Dude, can you read? The hive doesn't role back every time. You only tried it once. What are you missing here? Do I need to spoon feed you? There is no argument. It is possible to roll back the hive as an admin by shutting down the server. It doesn't work every time. End of story. What about this are you having trouble processing? Basic scientific method? You tested it one time when it is explicitly stated in the sticky thread of the server administrator forums that it does happen, but not all the time. http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/55657-start-here-a-beginners-guide-to-dayz-servers-and-administration http://www.reddit.com/r/dayz/comments/1ynzi9/admins_shutting_down_servers_when_they_die/ Do you seriously need more proof? Stop beating a dead horse. I am not continuing to argue with you to prove something that's been known from day one. I am not responding to you either if you refuse to acknowledge facts.

How about you don't bother testing at all because this is confirmed, which has be stated a dozen times already. Don't bother posting either, if you have nothing to contribute but childish remarks. "Shut the server down IMMEDIATELY - This will most likely end up in a Hive rollback." Its right there in plain English man. Why are you so defensive? I haven't proposed any changes to your precious admin power. Is the fact that people are catching on to admin abuse bothering you perhaps?

I would actually like to amend what I previously posted in response to this, now that I have had the time to read it fully. Admins who restart the server to get their own gear back are abusing their server admin status. Through my server hopping it has been made clear when this is happening, whereas I might not otherwise have noticed. That does not mean it's only happening to server hoppers. It is in no way a "special situation." This happens to me often, and there are many players who have come out and said that this has happened to them. On Reddit people are even openly admitting to abusing their admin status. I have had this happen to me in full and empty servers. People are just not realizing that it's happening. It still only negatively affects one player even if the server is full. Everyone else will just get back to what they were doing thinking it was a regular server reset, but I've wittnessed servers resetting at the oddest times. I'm sure you have too. Every time that happens it is likely the admin just died. People should know what admins are doing. I'm not suggesting that admins should lose their ability to reset servers. I never said that anywhere. That doesn't mean the problem can't be addressed. http://www.reddit.com/r/dayz/comments/1ynzi9/admins_shutting_down_servers_when_they_die/cfm6xld "I know someone who does this ;) We also kick people to kill them and take their loot." I hope that popcorn was tasty :D

"There are, however, ways of combating hackers without breaking the rules. Shut the server down IMMEDIATELY - This will most likely end up in a Hive rollback and any users who died will most likely get their gear back. THIS IS NOT FOOLPROOF. IT DOES NOT WORK ALL THE TIME." You cannot "assure" me or anyone that it does not work. It has been known you can do this from day one.

I'm fully aware that it is frowned upon, but that is irrelevant to the topic at hand. Many a thread has been derailed because of this, and it's foolish. If anything server hopping gives you better insight into the game's mechanics.

Beans for using your brain.

With fairly high success rate, yes. Elektro is the most server hopped city in the game. This particular time I server hopped into the school of Elektro, arguably the biggest hotspot for PvP/Looting in the game. I ran into the admin camping in said hotspot not long after, which shouldn't come as much of a surprise. I do not set out to do this. It's a chance occurrence that happens every now and then when I'm gearing to switch to a high populated server to PvP. Although you totally could set out to do this and eventually find someone to kill. I'm surprised two people got hung up by this. Such badness on these forums. I love that you went through all that trouble to make that meme though. I feel special. Your sig is also pretty amusing too.

Ah, well then again, that's what I get for reading half-assed. I've been playing and using the forums at the same time. If by "special situation" you are talking about the particular instance the server was reset on me, it isn't really that special. It happens quite a bit. But I can live with it if it's an acknowledged occurance. I shall kill again. Best of luck to you as well.

Just the kind of post I expected, which is the kind of thing that bothers me about this forum. It's become a place people come to antagonize arguments. You can put the popcorn away. I have no beef with you. After re-reading your post I realize I jumped the gun a little bit. Survivor stress has taken it's toll on me. That's what I get for reading half assed.

Yes, you are. I'm sick of being greeted by people like you on this forum with unwarranted hostility when I come here and contribute with the best intentions. I'm not campaigning for anything. That is how you would interpret it because you are a fool, which is a fact based on your conduct, not an insult spurred by some childish desire to retaliate. Any response you could have would be just that. So don't even bother. Stop posting garbage.

I'm server hopping when I run into the only other players on servers. It happens all the time. Once I'm geared I go on a rampage on high populated servers. Rinse and repeat on death. I'm not claiming to be some master PvPer you childish fool. Use your brain before you post. I'm posting this for your benefit.

My hardware isn't good enough for that. No need either. It's confirmed.

Why would you stop right there? That doesn't make any sense. I literally just killed the only other player on the server I was on, which prompted this post.

That guide was made before the hunger/thirst system was "modified" in the last patch. They gave no details about how it was specifically changed, but it was implied that it was more than the new hunger/thirst indicators because they listed that separately.

I use experimental branch to reset my characters that are stuck dead because of glitches in standard branch. Other than that I recently I wanted to try out high population servers. Unless you have a particular change in mind that you want to experience, it's not worth it.

If you sprint with turbo, you will notice that you need a LOT more food. I've actually died running.

There isn't a single player that doesn't want beards. They are coming.

I sure as hell would comply with that. I seem to only get held up by people that want to pour me a cup of tea.

If it makes you feel any better there is nothing you can do to revive yourself except hope that you were well fed enough to eventually wake up (you will only revive if you are regenerating shock/blood). By the sounds of it you experienced a shock unconsciousness and you certainly will not recover, because you were losing shock when you passed out. Or gaining shock depending on how you look at it. It might not be pleasant to hear but this is your fault for not keeping your character healthy. Unhealthiness manifests itself in many ways. It is not random. You must be well fed and hydrated at all times and address any unhealthy status messages as soon as possible. Everyone eventually learns the hard way not to get too attached to any one character. At least not in alpha. Your initiation is complete. Go with honor. Edit: It's also possible you suffered from a blood unconsciousness. If you are pushing your character too hard on low blood, he will pass out. Again if you weren't otherwise healthy when you passed out you are not waking up. edit, edit: It actually said "you are dead?" If so obviously there is no coming back from that. Still your fault though.

I hate the dayz mobile website. Cant edit posts. You getthe idea. Best of luck to you.

You need to familiarize yourself with the types of budings that carry weapons: schools, hospitals, fire stations, textile factories etc. Use the Dayzbd map and make note of where the red dots are (weapon spawns). Also keep in mind that for whstever reason schools dont have red dots (this ones big.) Remember every school you find because many players just mindlessly run to the red dots. Also, most servers run on a 4-5 hour cycle. When a server is reset, either by an admin or by the cycle, all the loot is fresh. Also, and Im probably going to ne crucified for this, but its just not fair if you dont know, you can switch servers in places where weapons spawn. This can double your chances of finding a weapon. You will be hated for it. Who gives a fuck. The reason you arent finfing weapons os because other players are doing it too.

Honestly, I dont give a shit about what players think. Those freshies everyone bemoans about would slit your throat for your flashlight. I dont make it my mission to kill players I stand nothing to gain from, but I dont hesitate taking out a player who is closer than I'd prefer. Most of the time killing bambis is stupid anyway, because it alerts geared players to your presence anyway. I prefer to use bambis as bait for bigger fish.

Why would you want to aim while running? Your bullets would be all over the place. Just shoot in third person in that situation.

To clarify (posting from phone, cant edit) I had a speedloader with 3 bullets, and a seperate slot of 6 lose bullets. I unloaded the speedloader and the ammo disappeared. I loaded the speedloader with the six bullets and they disappeared. Then because reloading is load as fuck.... well you get the idea.

Glitching magnum ammo has gotten me killed in the heat of a fire fight. I had five bodies lying around waiting to be looted. I was not happy
