Didn't see a topic for it here so wanted to share with you guys. Was pretty amazing. http://i.imgur.com/drAFLWO.jpg

Glad you didn't kill the dude. Since he was running through a field with just his hands out you probably could have told him not to move or you shoot first but other than that good vid.

Yes and then no one plays on that server because admin abuse. But servers that are administered properly will have higher population and make the $ spent on server worth while.

Yes it is in Alpha, but this isnt a free Alpha. The consumers are providing servers for testing and funds to keep the project moving along. Private shards are extremely expensive and servers on public hive are just a joke. I think the private shard is a step in the right direction and appreciate their efforts. However, they are still holding alot of cards.

I use to play on an illegal private hive once. Guess what, no one cheated or dupped. Why? There was no battleeye running, so why no hackers? Because they would get banned and for good from the server. Same if you were caught with a glitched gun. Admins > Battleye.

For one, if you are killed by a hacker and are the admin you can easily see who killed you and who is hacking. If you receive multiple reports regarding a hacker just killed me and notice someone kill 5-10 guys in a few minute span, BINGO. Without being able to see players names this is the most effective tool for stopping hackers on your private shard. Otherwise how are you going to stop me from hacking on your shard? The kill logs can be abused by admins, duh they can also ban everyone if they want too. Defeats the point of spending 140$ a month though and have the server empty because of admin abuse. There will be good servers, like USC, who will ban hackers via kill logs. Fact is battleeye just isnt working at the moment due to the game in Alpha. Admins need better tools to regular their servers. This is just a suggestion.

I was going to rent a Private Shard today until I discovered you don't have access to Kill Logs. The Kill Logs are there so what gives? Otherwise it defeats the point of stopping hackers via private shard.

After weeks of bitching and complaining about Dayz, thought it was time. They thought it was pretty good so thought I'd share. Hope you enjoy. Edit: Yea I spelled that wrong WTF

This is a great topic! I think private shards are a HUGE addition to Dayz Standalone! It gives admins power and make renting a server more worth the costs. Does anyone know if Admins have access to any types of logs? For instance, if a hacker is going around killing people can he look at kill log and see who the hacker is and ban them?

Instantly Sad :( , I thought a dev stated this was an easy fix?

Yes, I do mean that, wasn't trying to state it though. And no, no server gets shut down... ever... for any reason. Nor should it be with the outrageous cost to rent one. "You can rent a 40 person server for just 95$ a month! Oh but you can't kick anyone unless there hacking... oh did we mention that you cant' tell who is who and therefore can't tell who is hacking? So really you can't kick anyone. Oh but you can reset it! Did we mention if you reset it less than 2 hours you are breaking your terms of agreement? Oh and anyone can reset it too so lawl @ you" I'm definitely taking down my server soon. I wish everyone would stop paying for one and then Bohemia would have no choice but to give out more administration access to allow admins to actually "administrate" their server. Edit: I honestly feel like it is almost a scam to rent a server at this point.

When anyone can reset it at the moment, seriously how is something so game breaking not been fixed yet?

M4s are spawning at airfields again.

I heard gernades no longer spawn in .46 but instead will be re-added in .48, is that true?

If you want to find people, head on up to the NE airfield or sit in the Berezino police station on a full server. :)
