U.B.C.S. Ravin

Please keep in mind if a hacker kills you, Day-Z Staff or Admins for the server are unable to restore your equipment. There is not much we can do about this, please simply stay disconnected or in the lobby.

Arkaeus, You have been very naughty...

DMR is your best bet. Never bothered trying to use a CZ or M24 with them. kinda pointless. AS50, SVD, and M1017 cannot use NVG.

Wait for 1.7.2 with beartraps. Set them in corners of popular buildings where server hoppers come in at. Feed on their tears.

Few things. M14 in a starting city, Why? Secondly, This player was a server hopper, even with basic equipment he was attempting to ghost the individual who was camping the starting city. So, Shame on you for being a pisspoor bandit. Shame on that guy for trying to ghost you.

Great list

I would say tents are far more stable. Cars are far more liable in PVP, but make you a pretty big target for other bandits. Really, the choice is yours. I use both, make sure you always hit 'Save' before you log out or a server restarts. Youll lose whatever is inside the vehicle or tents.

What Doug said, don't get attached to gear. x3

False. Sometimes they will disappear, if they do simply re-restart the server. Should correct the issue.

This should be in server general, but not I am not aware of any DDoS happening right now. The server reboots itself every eight hours. "US128 will restart at midnight, 8am, and 4pm. US167 will restart at 1am, 9am, and 5pm. US302 will be 2am, 10am, and 6pm. This clears up any unneeded data and is recommended by the Day-Z Staff to have hourly restarts." Maybe you were attempting to connect as the server was rebooting itself. As for you explaining your disconnect reasons - Ebian replied in the server thread explaining how we handle those situations. I do not understand what has made you 'fuck off'. But I am noticing lately you have a big habit of half-reading something or assuming right away there is something wrong with the server and not doing any actual research. If you have any questions please feel free to PM or post in our server thread that is listed below to get our attention easier.

Helicopter bit might not be bullshitting. Tank bit, most likely. M107 is used for Anti-Vehicles purposes, so him destroying anything with it isn't surprising. I would be disappointed if he DIDN'T blow them up.

We saw the logs of what he said. He made a general statement that everyone should follow the rules and those caught would be punished. He also said that not all UBCS members are tagged, and everyone went quite because that showed you all we are actively watching. Also, if you do see any UBCS members disconnecting to avoid combat. Let us know and we will discipline them accordingly as well. Being in our 'clan' doesn't mean you get special rules.

This story takes place dead at night. Bluefox and I were taking the night easy. A few rounds around the airfield and we have grown rather large. U.B.C.S. now has ten active members who swap out and are always generally farming for loot, this night shift, Ebian and I find ourselves alone. Being bored we hit up Vybor to replenish some food supplies and try to get some ghillie suits and a tent. Fate would have it on our way out behind the barracks their is a Heli-crash. We loot it up, nothing too noteworthy and our tents are too full to take the Ammo crate, Bison SD, M14, and FN FAL. So we decide to simply grab the SVD loot from the ammo crate. Bringing our ammo on my SVD up to 30 clips. At night, I stock up and use the DMR, SVD for daytime, we finish up at the airfield and rush to Vybor, everything goes smoothly and we even get a tent and roughly 15 cans of food. Stuffed we round back to camp, then the airfield. On our way up south we stop at the very southern tip of the airfield, pausing to see if we see any Zed's way off. We notice a pile of Zeds in a hanger that did not belong there. We keep our eyes out and notice one player bolt out of the hanger crouch running. We figure, if they are looting everything, the barbed wire we setup in the firehouse and control tower will slow them down. We quickly round the airfield, knowing they will see the copter crash we looted and stop at last to the barracks. Bluefox and I camp up on a hillside and wait. Bluefox suddenly yells out. "There is two of them! I see them!" I whip the gun around from my hillside and state. "No visual, unload!" Bluefox swaps the gun to full auto and unloads into one of the guys backs, he whips around and the two individuals split up, one goes left and up, one runs right, right infront of me a good 100m away. I shoot two DMR shots off, clipping the guy, he goes down and I hear him groaning unconcious, I attract a zed and pull out my silenced M9, shooting it in the knee then one in the head as the body drops in front of me. Immeditly I move, knowing the second survivor that survived Bluefoxs full auto Bizon HEARD my position, but not his I quickly crawl from the hill. Suddenly my whole screen shakes and a loud explosion is heard. It jars awake my body as its near 1am. Dirt flies up over my old position. Thanking the Gods I managed to avoid that, I swap to my own nade. I throw it out and suddenly another explosion rings out and three zeds drop dead, the guy who Bluefox unloaded on suddenly dies, so neither of us get a kill. The guy who was bleeding out logs out, while the other guy appears to have ragequit or just got fed up for the night. We wait five minutes, then slowly approach the barracks and find out the guy ran around into the small shed. Bad move, four zombies were eating his remains. We guess he ran in there to avoid Bluefox, he fired his M4A1 HWS M203 at me, attracted an orgy of zombies and they ripped him apart. We scrap up his gear, then I get back to my sniping spot. Hop's gets on to loot the Coyote backpack and pick up the guys food as we get ready to loot Vybor again. Need tents! Not even TEN minutes later, a sound rings out in the air. Someone is shooting M203's rounds into the air with smoke to draw zombies away. Someone is dashing RIGHT at me, well two people, though I know they don't see me, but they are too close to scope in with the DMR, I open fire, loading a clip into the guy. I hear his legs break and he goes prone, him and his buddy disconnect. We know their names because its only us three and two other people nowhere near us. We ban them for exploiting the disconnect feature and avoiding PVP. Good thing too, they were planning to ghost us as the guy tried to relog in, but the server booted him. Very eventful night. Baked Beans and 15 day old character never tasted so good.

Just wait until bear-traps come out in 1.7.2. We will not have any server hoppers. THEM BROKEN LEGS AND TEARS WILL FLOW.

Combat D/C will result in ban. Buwha... Unless my sniper shot killed 30 plus people and then my friends getting teleported in the air was resulted in the best PVP sniper shot ever... Then god damn I deserve to be banned. Thankfully, I am not that good!

They are handed out. You are supposed to use 'USwhatever' and so on. Generally the format is "Location" "Settings" then "Hosted by ___ " This helps players know the location of the server, settings, and who the host is so they can come back/search for the admins easier.

I have read nothing about them saying that they would make servers like that. I have read that they might one day intend Day-Z to have a single player experience, but as Day-Z is setup right now. Its just not possible without opening up a whole can of worms. It just sounds like wishful thinking to me, Nice and fun, but wishful thinking.

Of course, None taken. Just expressing a viewpoint and dropping off some information that hopefully someone will find useful.

Wow, thats real bad. I have had so many camps of mine raided with my clan, so many firefights, lost gear, NVG's, DMR'S, SVD's... You name it, I have had it and lost it. This is just sad... Admins like this make me upset. Just as much as you win in this game, its just as possible to lose in this game. Some admins can't take a hit when they lose their equipment. Also, if I am not mistaken... There is no such weapon as a M110 NV Scope rifle in Day-Z, correct? Only the FN FAL NV is the current weapon with a NVScope, right?

@ Milky - Sometimes server options don't work when you tell them too, thats a normal bug also, however I have never locked any server when changing options because if the server goes up and down a few times in ten minutes, someone will notice. Or I simply inform them through battleeye "Hey, Server is going down, tents didn't save properly.' and its all good. I never got the point of locking a server either, it causes too many problems and isn't permitted anyway. I just avoid the confusion and see no purpose in 'locking a server to test something' That is my input on it.

Locked Servers are not allowed because individuals can just farm for loot without anyone killing them, then hop onto any other server with the best gear and wreck your world. A good post to go by was a post in this thread, Ill copy it here. Was from one of the Day-Z Engineering Manager " https://docs.google.com/document/d/1o70yiSuNe-ENhKjzs3B7ECXoOf-KW8BYnwNGpVsHXss/edit http://support.dayzmod.com/knowledgebase.php?action=displaycat&catid=1 You should also check out these two threads: http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=21034 http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=9427 I understand that PvE only is something people want, but right now it's just not available in DayZ, It actually hurts the community as a whole when admins try to enforce PvE only, since players can go on your PvE server to farm gear to use elseware without the worry of getting killed by players. I mean come on.. Lets face it, a group of 10 players would have a pretty easy time against most zombie mobs. If there are no players in that mix to disrupt that balance, it's super easy to sit at stary and northwest all day getting bomb ass weapons, then taking them to "normal" servers to dominate with. I would personally like to see PvE only at some point as well, but right now it's not a priority on our list. It would take a large infrastructural change which we're not prepared to take, especially while the game is still in the Alpha stage, in order to provide a PvE only experience that doesn't effect the rest of the non DayZ PvE Servers."

The castles are unmarked. Its a popular spot. Green-yellow

I hope every admin reads this post on Page 4, then every user knows of it. I will certainly be referring to it and the useful links. I woke up this morning, read this thread, then just slow clapped half asleep, hair a mess and a empty belly. But now, the server owners tears and Spawns posts of lulz just... His tears, I fed on them. Now I am no longer hungry.

... Wait, you ban individuals for playing the game as Rocket intended...? I am pretty sure you can't ban people for killing other players when that is a core part of the game. Even if they are being douchebags and camping Chenro/Eletro, there are ways to go around it. Just like RP Servers can't ban people who don't want to RP. To point out what it says on the Day-Z fact what they intend for the game-- "Q: Turn PvP Off? A: No. PvP is a core part of the DayZ atmosphere and we aren't going to restrict it. Just go inland away from the built up towns along the coast where players spawn."

Ive heard barbed wire will be like tents or have a amount of time they take to despawn, like 2 or 7 days. Not completely sure. At least in 1.7.2. Bear Traps.... Mmm <3
