They company I host my server on has detailed bandwith monitoring, I will search some data for you once I'm back home.

No, if you ban someone via Rcon the ban will be shown exactly like that.

Its a feature no bug

Ok seriously your ass is on my list sir. Let me clear out a few things: First: I wasnt playing since saturday Second:When I was playing I sticked with my mates at NW airfield, we didnt leave the perimeter for 1 week now. Third: There is no fucking nametags on my server, you cant know me was shooting you. Forth: Admins cant teleport, cant spawn shit, cant kill a player by command. And last but not least: Sudden restarts are crashes, I announce my restart Putting all of these in a nutshell YOU SIR ARE A SHITTALKING DUMBASS, seriously, why do you piss in my soup? You died, shit happends, its a game about surviving, would be boring without death. Whoever shot you either just connected or was hidden but whoever it was it was not me! And even if it was me it was legal in fact there is no fucking way to teleport. I request this thread to be deleted by moderators as it is giving bad rep on my server. Nothing more to say

I sign AllDayZSimon's post. Of course there are rules a server admin has stick to but there is no need for players to open a new thread or piss a hosts soup for every single shit happening. Banning for nonsense is a no go but requesting a ban of his server due to a crash/restart that made you loose your gear? Seriously what has the gaming community become today. Its a GAME, go **** your GF instead or do some BBQ, I mean you cry cuz you lost something that has a value of 32 bit...go and rage if you pay this dude 50 euros per month...srsly you are hosting the server as a gift to the community and beside 20% percent of nice guys who honor your work and understand the point of hosting and the mechanics the rest is just waiting for a chance to curse on you in a public forum. Instead of thinking about the reasons for incidents the first thing that happends is "ADMIN DID SOMETHING BAD TO ME CUZ HE WANTS MY UBER LOOT" (its not realted to this thread but an issue in general). 80% of the "Ban appeals" where players report admins to ban/kick them for waht ever unrealistic/no-sense reason it turns out that the incident was not caused by admins. Its a shame that an admin, who is donating his server and has such strict rules set by dev is additonally cursed by frustrated players as they hope to...I dont even know why they do this...it makes me sad. Let him who is without sin cast the first stone. Greetz

Rocket just stated this an exploit they are working on with a pending fix. http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=8029 Nothin more to say.

Hey dudes, we all know ALT+F4 death dodging is a serious issue in terms of fairness and gameplay. I played quite a lot this weekend and a couple of time I had PvP fights with survivors/bandits who choose the easy way to escape instead of taking their death like a man. This realy fucks me up, it not only prevents me from looting the guy I chased for 20 minutes its just a unfair doucbag style of abusing the system to gain profit. I mean I chased this one guy through pitch black night with heavy rain and shot him down, went to his corpse to give him the final shot and he just disappeared and my bullets went straight into the dirt. So I personaly ban all those tards from my server but what is the deal, there are 200 other servers to cheat the system on. My suggestion is a global Blacklist we server owners feed our bans to. What the Blacklist will be: -Its a List/Database admins feed their bans or people they have an eye on to, no matter which reason. So it cant only be used to detect possible death dodgers, trolls, griefer, racist, all the scum that destroys your experience and server community. -Names and reason should be public, so people know that we are watching them, its not intended to lead in instant banning those dudes from all servers, they should know we have an eye on em so they change their behaviour to avoid further restrictions. -If someone is not reported for a span of for example three month, he can be considered rehabilitated and will no longer be displayed in the list. -A plugin, scanning the playerlist of the server and giving a message to admins if someones GUID is blacklisted. I think via Rcon will be the easy way. What it will not be: -A global banning system. Being banend on one server and added to the list doest not mean instant ban from all participating servers. In fact every admin has other rules and other style of leading his server, bans cant be shared automaticly. Its the admins decision to add someone who is reported or to give him a chance on his server. So whats do you think about this? Is it worth it? Any problems I didnt think about? Your thoughts please. Thx for reading, Greetz.

Ever used the PDW? It is a bitch in terms of ammo :D Nearly every 9mm clip can be used with taht gun.

I like the cloud system idea. Its like 200 servers out there now which all share the same database what is realy cool in terms of flexibility. Your fav server is down? No problem 199 others waiting for you, just with the downside of not having your tents and vehicles but still abled to serve you some hours of cool gameplay. But be realistic. How many of those 200 servers do you ever play on? At the beginning I tested many servers but after getting rid of the "newb status" I had a hand full of servers I played on till they got screwed or went down or something. Especially when playing in a group you stick to one or maybe two servers. So why not use multiple databases. I will never play on an australian server due to ping limitations. You could set up Databases per region, one for all the european servers one for australian etc. If you want to play on another realm you can of course, but data is not shared. Less traffic, more performance. Advanced and even better to get rid of server hopping are custom networks. Like you host three servers and share one database for those three, so the only server you can hop on if you want to keep playing with your stuff is hosted by the same guy, making detection of death dodgers possible. Or hosts merge their servers to one community with shared database. Its a question of how much flexibility we realy need.

As said above, who is it? We have some problem in fact our servers have the same name beside mine using a whitespace. Its confusing players, contact me please, thanx.

Yeah no problem, sorry for the confusion but I was not given any advise on server names. I will remove the whitespace. Greetz

Hm, I'm kinda split on this point. Yes having outdated servers coud be an issues, there are some major bugs related to version missmatch. BUT big but, keep in mind that we server owners donated this servers and spend a lot of money to rent em. In fact money doenst grow on trees we have to go to work or college etc. to kepp the servers up. So just an example, I'm from germany, when patch 1.5.8.3 rolled it was 1 am here in germany and I was lucky that I was still awake so I could investigate in the database issues happening that night. But normaly, in week at that time I'm sleeping cuz I have to go to college next morning and do my 12 hours "work" here. So its simply not possible for all server admins to react to an update in a short time span. I just shut down the server when I notice there are updates rolling and I dont have the time to update the server in time. So for me your first suggestion is the best opinion in fact thats exactly what I'm doing now, but please please get away from the idea that we have to deliver something to you. Like the Devs work our work is voluntarily. Anyway we have to stick to the rules that are set up for hosts, so leaving the server unmonitored for a couple of days is of course not okay, but 24 hours should not be a problem imo...

New Update and new Hive are published, server updated, tested by myself and found no issues so server is back up from now. If you experience any issues feel free to inform me. Have Fun&Good Luck

Due to some serious problems related to either last update or database issues which annihilate your character data or replace em I decided to turn off the server till the issues are fixed in order prevent players from loosing their stuff etc. Server will be online when stuff is fixed. Greetz

Hey dudes, some strange things are happening to me and/or my server. Everytime I launch or restart my server I cant see my own server in the server list. I dont know why and how cuz it is even happening with filters on default. Right at the moment a random guy is joining ther server I can join in and play. If I try to connect via IP I'm stuck at waiting for host or joining game. Has anyone here an idea what may be the reason? Greetz

Allmighty Mojo made things run like they are supposed to be and even more :P . Thanks alot for your fast help and additional advises, you are one of the good guys, I owe you one. P.S If you have the same issues I had, check out if you deleted your server config by accident :D.

Followed all your points, no success, now even my mates cant find the server, and it still says waiting for host if I connect via IP. Any other tips? Or is anyone open for a lill IRC or TS help session :P.

You have to do a controlled restart on servers, one by one or in small groups.

Ensure that you have selected Internet in the bottom left corner of your screen, not LAN ;).

Hey, I have a strange problem when I try to play on EU13 with my mates. Its simplay that I cant see the server in the serverbrowser. I have no filters applyed. I can see the server via ArmA2 Launcher but not ingame, most of the other servers work fine. Even connecting using the IP does not work. EDIT: Some more infos. I play with ArmA2:CO from steam. I tried to clean the cache and delete profiles, didnt help, neither disabling my firewall and antivir guard. I remember that I had no problem to see the server about a week ago. Right at the moment Im reinstalling the game, I hope that will fix it.

Searching in the deeps of the internet I found this piece of awesomeness: http://www.youtube.com/embed/T2vsilkiSWE I would realy like to see something like that in the mod. Either player controlled or as a scripted shuttle along the coast. EDIT: Even better vid:

Date/Time: Around 04:30 on 10/05/2012 What happened: I was killed during some PvP action. When the "You are Dead" screen popped up I logged out cuz i didnt want to start yet. Now im stuck in Hourglass Bug. Even tried to respawn but it just says MrSherenai was killed and nothing changes. Where you were: NW Airfield, northern barracks. What you were doing: spawning *Current installed version: 1.5.6 *Server(s) you were on: EU2 *Timeline of events before/after error: hurt during pvp, had blackout, bleeding out, died, disconnected, reconnected, stuck in bug

I ment arlt, sorry.

You Sir have to calm down. Its Alpha...do you except a 24/7 working game in alpha state? Srsly...

Hey, I saw many Dev's complaining about ppl who suggest the same things over and over again, so some things get said 1000 times because ppl rage on em and the interesting and relevant suggestions/feedback/bugreports get buried under a pile of rubble. My suggestion for example if you want to avoid such stuff is to restrict posting on forums for people who didnt touch a certain amount of posts. 1.) Use Announcement Forums just for announcements. If someone wants to give feedback on a topic, let him create a Thread in a new Feedback thread. 2.) Make the Suggestions thread restricted. If you want to post a Suggestion you have to reply to at least 20 Posts. This gives anyone having a suggestion enough time to: a) Think about the Suggestion once again, will it fit the style of the mod, can it be done or is it not worth the time needed to implement it. b) Read other Threads, 80% of the "new suggestions" have been said somewhere before. Less plagiatism. c) Get some information on the topic you want to post on. For example read the fucking F.A.Q before creating the 10000th thread on day/night cycle. d) Get familiar with the game. Many ppl come up with great ideas after playing one hour. I dont say that such ideas can not be good but ppl should experience the whole aspect of the mod first and suggest stuff afterwards 3.) Delete/Move posts that are in the wrong section. 4.) Having any eye on the forum could be a hard task for the mods. If you need some help I suggest to let the community apply to become moderators as anyone here wants this mod to grow and two or three more mods just for the sake of order is a good deal IMO as more order will make it easier for the Devs. Greets, MrS
