Will see if I can get them fixed, not a big fan of random re-installs though.

Yep.

Someone broke it entirely! And it wasn't me.

M107s even spawn in the barracks. Personally not a big fan of the weapon. In a group that I played with a few times we found one too. While it's nice to have someone with us that carries it, it's not my weapon either. Out of a stash of weapons (L85, M107, M24, M4A1 SD camo, DMR etc) I'd only pick the M107 or DMR (M107 for daylight, DMR for the nights) and the M4A1 SD in the backpack for town assaults). 2 people with 1 having a L85 & a Rangefinder and another guy having a DMR (+NVGs)/M107 ---> Pew pew.

Nope.

As for reserve slots --> Sawyer (profile) and I have been spending some free time lately on a C# library for BattlEye (RCON). In theory it's possible to have a reserve-slot system to some degree (you could make a tool to have it lock when there is 5 slots left and then unlock it on a command, say by in-game (someone already playing) or an IRC channel), but then there is the issue that say the server restarts, 5 to 15 people of a clan join, so there is now a server with 50 slots, of which 45 are actually open and 15 of those are taken by a clan. The next 5 will likely also be clanmembers (or at least 2, maybe 3 people manage to hop in at the exact right time when it unlocks) and then you have 33% of a server being your clan only, while it would have probably been more like <30%. Hope I somewhat made sense in the post.

But the moment you start asking money, you need a stable game where people don't lose their gear half the time, updates are constantly being rolled out etc. The future looks bright, but for now... you know :/. Also, every post in this section is based on my personal POV, not speaking in any way as for what the plans are for the future when it comes to DayZ.

-25.000 isn't all that bad really, keep killing more people! Jokes aside, I personally never really had issues with it so far (about to hit -400k), I never get near cities, unless it's the real last option possible and with the noise of cars the heartbeat aint a lifechanger at that point, but if it actually works through walls I think it will need a raycast orientated trigger (like LoS) so you can't hear it through walls...

At that point you can still be ruining stuff: Person is in a vehicle, person was about to kill someone, about to loot someone, is in the open and could very well be shot when hopping in a new server, about to..... I also edited my earlier post, but I will repeat it as many won't read it now: Only having official-servers would fix a lot of the issues, but then you'd be looking at a subscription system to cover the costs, even with "just" 100.000 active players you'd still be looking at 2000 servers, say you'd host 3 per physical server and pay about 100 per server --> That's $66666.67/month and then we personally (and mainly Rocket) haven't seen a penny (and by then you'd also be looking at a legal team to play etc). So you'd need at least a fee of $3/month to even get it running, probably more like $5 to $8 to really achiev something.

Many issues will dissapear once this becomes more "commercial", once the project has a (stable) fund of resources, we can also expand the technical resources. Many people keep saying they paid X-money and then get bugs etc, but yet everything so far is paid out of our own pocket (website doesn't eat as much though, I feel bad for the filemirrors at times). How do you want to implement reserve-slots though? Only having official-servers would fix a lot of the issues, but then you'd be looking at a subscription system to cover the costs, even with "just" 100.000 active players you'd still be looking at 2000 servers, say you'd host 3 per physical server and pay about 100 per server --> That's $66666.67/month and then we personally (and mainly Rocket) haven't seen a penny (and by then you'd also be looking at a legal team to play etc). So you'd need at least a fee of $3/month to even get it running, probably more like $5 to $8 to really achiev something.

We appreciate hosters a lot for their efforts' date=' really everyone does. The problem is that in a world like this, being able to walk around anywhere without having to worry about abuse is rather important... I know neither of you said it is, but how does a player proof an admin kicked him for that?

So you'd want: - Passworded servers. - Locked servers. - Kick for whatever you didn't fraps, as they can't proof they got kicked for being killed by the admin. - Can't proof the admin was the one disconnecting as they, no messages show up in the log as they are disabled. - Mass language kicking because the host is French, thus French is allowed but for example Russian is not. You call people out for being kids that cry etc, yet I've seen oh so many server hosters that broke the rules, including kicking and even banning me for killing them. I'm sure that's not kiddy at all! Are the current rules promoting hosting? Probably not, but out of all issues I honestly don't see how the opposite will make it any better. Oh, MySQL isn't all that expensive in this case.

So your suggestion is to punish someone who is a really good at being a bandit (= good aim, good skills in hiding/sneaking and good skills in knowing what's going on around him) by taking away his good aim (you want him to drop his weapon), hiding skills (publishing his location) and force him to move a lot, not knowing what's going on. There are only 13595 characters with more than 5 murders, only 3049 characters with more than 10 murders, only 355 characters with more than 25 murders and only 55 with more than 50 murders. And that's based on the results of ~4.500.000 lifes... Most bandits don't live all that long as it is.

Like I said' date=' dealing with threads isn't my task, so I'm not sure what you are referring to. All that made me pop up is my name and a few PMs. Job is a bad word for a free time waster. This part is where it goes wrong. I'm very confident that the guys that raided your camp saw this show-off (you call it show, but you wouldn't post a screenshot of a single tent with a Winchester, right?) and felt the need to show that none is invincible. And honestly, when you show-off, you pay the price. None is in trouble, so you shouldn't be worrying about that, I'm just pointing out that both sides are wrong in many ways and that ones actions don't make the other their actions right, if you disagree I'd be happy to read an argumentation proving that to be wrong, but expecting everyone to take you serious and look up to you when you show-off on the internet? Please learn from this event.

On a 0-srsness-level: The difficulty of the server is disappointing (nametags, yikes).

Also, who the hell is Thuggy. Right, same shit.

You know, normally when threads like these popup there is at least some sense in it and some sort of direction on what to do next. This one however is so heavily filled with trolling, from both sides, that I honestly wish I could just remove that smexy pink tag and join the hugging. As for what has been said, all of you should honestly just... you know. Posting screenshots like these is simply asking for it, if you don't want them to get near your shit, don't brag about it. I'm quite sure you are clever enough to already know this would happen the moment you pop in to show everyone that you have enough tents to get every hooker it's own tent to sleep at. The complaints from both of you are just stupid and you know it. As for the server restart, *shrug*, you know how it goes... There is many reasons for a server to vanish like that and even though it "tends" to happen in these bad situations a lot (clones Merszowszczyzna's 2nd image), it wasn't being locked so I will just let it be for what it is, as dealing with all the crap when it comes to server restarts is just completely shizzled up as it is. Now, as for the day/night change. In theory this can have been done by an admin with RDP info to the server, however at the same time there can also be an easy explanation. I don't feel like going back through this thread to see who said it, but IIRC someone mentioned that the server had been running for a while. After hours a server lags behind big time in comparison to it's real time (and then we are really talking about afternoon vs late evening/early night), the moment the server restarted it could have actually synced up with it's real time and that may very well have caused the daylight switching. As the chances of that being the case are actually quite large I will just leave that one as it is as well. Both sides complain about each-others actions, knowing that their own wasn't in any way better. Neither is against the rules, both are worth trolling, but .... you know. As for the future when it comes to you guys: clans are clans, haters are haters and I'd be the last to judge on either side being right or wrong, as once you level up high enough (seems most here hit level 3, grats on your new talents) farming beans at the coast just becomes boring and you start to look for more. Sadly I'm still stuck at the lower level of sniping random dudes all day, but I can understand that people with too much time (that's what them baddies call it, I'd rather call it: playing it like srs business) start hunting down the people with the stashes, I'd probably have done the same. The methods both sides used are simply considered as lame, but at the same time both sides used them as much to their advantage as possible, so just stop pointing fingers for doing the same, be it in a different way. I will keep a closer eye on this personally, but what I don't want to see is things happening to either side in a way that goes beyond in-game. If I see people getting kicked or even banned for doing what clans tend to do, I will make sure this is dealt with in a way that neither side will enjoy, but probably 1 even less than the other, so at least keep it in the game. As for the thread itself, I don't moderate these forums for obvious reasons and therefor I'm not the one to close it or judge it's content, as from what I've seen both seem to do a good job at throwing the gifs and as long as no external people start to randomly hop in,

The latter, just wait till the next reply.

None likes you Matt, only when it's night in the server.

Man, I'm stopping all development from my side to write an auto-Headshot-poster in ban threads as this will take up so much time now...
