- Make a guess regarding the bandwidth, but before you do keep in mind that simple strings don't take up a lot of bandwidth ;). - Adding multichars wouldn't even be hard in a single DB system (kinda like the male/female option you'd chose between characters). The problem is that DayZ is about surviving at all times, not about getting your Rangefinder+AS50 out only when your 49 buddies are with you to hunt down some zombie AI at a distance of 800m.

See above. But if what you say is true' date=' damn, I should talk to these people for some money to run even! Server hosters come to the server team for the required info to setup a new server, so they are also the point of contact from the server team point of view (kinda like a reseller-system). Not really sure what you mean now. I really can't go into details, but so far everything costed money, be it Hive/website/support site/licenses/tools.

I don't have time to read this thread now, but I noticed something regarding: Wait, what? Who has paid us ANY money at all so far? I bet none will ever come and say: I DID! without being a troll... Again, what? Make a guess, I bet you will be far off. Everyone is allowed to have their opinions regarding multi-chars, multi-dbs, private-dbs and all that, but the number of statements here that are claimed to be facts and so far from the truth as they could possibly be? Seems like you are trying to be wrong or something :/.

That's indeed hacked gear, banned? No. If you want to be a good guy and save yourself from randomly logging in naked: drop it on a zombie corpse and hide the body.

IO load was an issue at the time, that's long gone. Currently we are talking about sub 10% CPU load at peak times with the whole DB loaded into memory. The way it all works currently the Hive is only really causing delays when you load in, as that's the only transaction that goes both ways. A few patches ago it caused desyncs due to the fact that the server was waiting for a reply. Let's not get into too much detail, but currently most of the server-performance issues are cleanup of objects-related issues. Which Dean has spent a lot of time on for 1.7.2.,..

Thank you :). Server will be dealt with by the server team and banned some of the guys who clearly didn't just 'play DayZ'.

Yes, even kicked me, the meanie. Thanks for the report.

Congratulations slasher, you just delayed 1.7.2 by another 2 weeks for these features to be added.

Thank you :).

Yes.

This post is not to comment on the plans regarding this subject and this post is just my personal POV to this subject, but have you considered how much more power a hoster gets at this point? Suddenly many hosts (and their friends) will have a lot of 'rare' weapons/items within the group (or maybe even a whole server), directly resulting into deflation. At first this sounds really cool and all, but all of sudden after 2 weeks you got bored as you've seen it all, you've killed them all and you've 'found' them all. Sure the first response will be: 'Yeah, but people can just not join that server again!' However that won't stop them from being burned out as they now miss all the goodies, but the game also got boring with them. Some people dream about being able to buy product X and are so happy with it that they will even make themselves think it's their best action ever. Others have had 100s of those and don't really care. Making everyone fall into the latter category is going to get DayZ servers empty a lot quicker than you might think...

I don't see why someone isn't allowed to drive over those plains to go from South West to North East unseen. I'd say it's a valid route to take to get to your destination, but not make IT your destination.

So will they, hence the "very last option". If you can't play at all... *shrug*

Just tried the very last option for you guys, but next time please provide a player ID, and especially D2Dominator as there is nothing in your post to find you.

cm. is correct. 405160 now, will make sure the frontpage updates.

The official one is Daisy, just FYI.

Been thinking for a while how to deal with this. The most easy solution (which would fix multiple issues in 1 go) is to not have any object or player data update when off the map. This would mean that a vehicle doesn't save anymore the moment it crosses the border, objects don't get stored and player locations will have their last save point where they ran off the map. This also means people in the debug forest will spawn back where they were on the next load in OR the beach area, but at least you won't keep popping up off the map non-stop.

Hello, as many of you will have noticed both the website and the Hive have been down for a while in the past hours. It started with the Hive experiencing increased latencies and over time the situation grew as bad as it not responding to ping requests at all, or with high latencies in the area of 4000 ms (about 90% packet loss). This also started to affect the website in a later stadium, when the Hive went down entirely. We are truly sorry for the downtime and any unexpected loss of items. Game on. Yes, looks like the moment of joy got spoiled again. The website and forums should work just fine now, the Hive is still... you know. Hive will be down for a few more hours. Alright, server hosters should be able to give their server a reboot to get them into a responsive state again Please confirm.

401350 already btw :).

There is nothing wrong with your character.

Were you banned? If not, why this thread?
