No skill server hopper / dc'r spawns in to the barracks and gets kills. Probably before his client is visible to other players. This is why we need a despawn timer.

OP wasn't speaking in direct but global. Other guy couldn't hear him. Probably thought he was shooting at him with all the bad aim.

terrain is you friend.

rock paper shotgun have an excellent drop in/out gaming community.

I found a bugged heli, constantly leaks fuel. Me and my mates used the rocket launcher and our only rocket in an attempt to destroy it and get a respawn. It survived too. Think we have fraps as well.

Repaired a Huey. Still leaks fuel. Everything is green. Don't understand whats wrong

Vehicles (gave up on tents a while ago) don't seem to be saving consistently between server restarts. We lost a red car (can't remember name) and kept a white pick up after server restart, only to have the red car re-appear after a further server restart (if that makes sense). It was forced saved before first restart, but reappeared after second restart with no forced save. Is this related to the current player load out problems?

Same problem at the moment on NY2. Lots of people dying, getting the you are dead screen, logging back in to respawn with full gear. I personally tested this and found i respawned with all my gear after dying. One guy keeps bleeding out on the airfield and respawning bleeding out in the same place. Exploit potential here (item duplication) along with general annoyance of not being able to respawn! Also the server is failing to save progress properly. Position is being saved fine, but not load out.

Multiple people are experiencing multi-deaths on NY 2. They get killed, relog and find themselves in the exact same place with their old gear. Could be a related issue. The connection with the hive server seems to be a bit err temperamental on the NY servers atm. Just logged on and off a server to test this out. Some of my progress was saved, but not all. Position in game was, but not load out. Load out was from a previous point, but no the point at which i joined the server. Died to test this out. Got YOU ARE DEAD screen. went back to lobby and re-entered. Came back in same place bleeding out with long wait timer and all my gear. Definately an issue with character server / client / server communication.

Just posting to test the time stamp i get. But at 11:00 GMT NY1+2 were up and empty on 'Creating' status. If you see that it means the server is ready but waiting for players. If you join and hit continue it will start briefing and then playing the mod. I was on NY2 at 11:00 UK time (4 hours ago) I know the NY server admins are actually UK based. So if it goes down in the middle of the night UK time, it probably wont get booted up until the morning. Better to hop on IRC/TS3 and get a Dayz staffer to do it if its evening USA time. NY 2 is up but I can't see NY 1 NY 1 failed to load properly. Sorted Now.

Its due to Server Performance. Basically if the server isn't restarted every 6 or so hours the performance starts to drop and less stuff is spawned in to compensate.

Yes currently EU 7 and NY 2 run 3rd person without the crosshair (No names pop up). Its up to the server provider really. I struggle to believe no US based servers are running FPV only, but if more are wanted I think Jonnerz said in another thread he was putting up a new US based box with 2-4 server capacity. Maybe ask him nicely for a FPV Veteran server.

I'm still getting bad glitches from wire / tank traps. Specifically placed barbed wire now. I'll need to put some more things down. I haven't managed to find any barbed wire/tank trap loot yet as I've only just logged in this morning as for one reason or another i couldn't play on my preferred server last night. I'll let you know if its just built items or the loot. Edit: Its also barbed wire loot item. (which prior to 1.5.6 I didn't have a problem with)

EU-7 Was restarted after 1.5.6 and was working fine (seemingly). Then the server was restarted a second time and locked. I got in before the lock and was kicked while in the briefing screen. I struggle to believe it didn't initialize properly the first time. I'm suspicious because 6 people are on a locked server, and when it was locked there were only 10 or so, and I was admin kicked. Nothing in chat. Just kicked for joining the server. The players were Dorak (admin), Eystein, Khalimerot, Konoro, Tiri, and TotoOoOoOo If it's done for testing I can understand, but it has been 10 minutes. How are the other servers doing? They all seem to be up, with the exception of NY. the server was locked at 22:46 UK time.

So its been locked for 30 mins. Going to bed now, hopefully sorted soon!

AFAIK server restarts will destroy the contents of your tent on occasion. I've lost everything in my tent before even since 1.5.4. I was using a car to store gear in as at least the gear stayed in it, but that moved after a server restart so er not quite working properly. Also tents disappear after 2 days if you die! Remember to make a new ten if you die. Your old tent only stays for 2 days. In another note always log out holding your most valuable item.

I must say I normally come back from scouting 7-8 deer stands with some kind of basic mil gear. AKM/AK47/M16/M4. I explored. I didn't run to NW airfield for teh loots. Don't punish me for avoiding the high PvP areas to get my loot. Time = effort in this game. Time camping/going to spawn locations. before that cheat sheet I learned them by trial and error.

I'm going to say it Rocket. Ignore this listen to the community stuff. It makes you make bad choices in the long run. "I must keep carebears happy, therefore i need the bandit skin". "You cant have all the good loot spawning in one place". "Zombies are too dumb" All things people have said on this forum. This is your baby rocket. Your idea is what will make it successful/enjoyable/monies. Stick to your dream. Authors don't write a book and then ask the community for feedback. "OMG DOBBY DIES". Fuck Dobby if that's what you want. Get like minded people around you. May i suggest talking about it with BiS colleagues in the pub on a friday night. If they agree with your ideas for the mod, well then you got your imput. Remember most of your userbase doesn't participate in the community it plays the game. The freedom is the winning factor.

I wouldn't go down the typical F2P model, as i don't see what you could sell. 'Non-bandit' Skin if you kill other players for £5 / 28 days? Sounds like a cash cow. Subscription model *maybe* but targeted at 1 or 2 £ per month., Doesn't sound a lot but adds up. Heck change the subscription system instead of subscribing to the game have a £1-2 a month subscription for a reserved slot on a server of your choice. Don't pimp the game, pimp the server slot. Love NY3? pay 1-2 £ to the developer to reserve your slot. Otherwise purchase only, but that relies on community servers. Community could not have any more tears when admins let their clan farm items at your expense. You're not paying for the server. Server owners rule. results in pissed off community as server admins fly around in their UH-1s. As others have said this mod could push ARMA 3 into the mainstream as DLC, or day 1 mod. YES MR BIS EXEC, THE MAINSTREAM. IT'D BE A CROSSOVER HIT. OTHER MANAGEMENT LINGO RESULTING IN SALES. TLDR by Rocket a boat BIS.

Not had problems with vehicle repair unless i crashed into stuff personally.
