The starting gear(which is pretty much nothing) now is just fine the way it is, anything else would just cheapen the experience. Find what you need, not start with what you need is what the game is about. Also, screw easy mode.

It does seem that Vilayer is starting to iron out it's issues. BEC still not working all the time(only when it wants to) but at least the servers are a lot more stable. ACP seems more responsive server time can be set, we're making progress.

Persistence is currently enabled on both servers and working. Enjoy!

All GSP's are having issues with crashes and 0.49 and I cannot fault Vilayer for the random crash issues. What I can bitch about is Vilayers ACP/BEC issues, since they're a separate problem and have been happening 2 1/2 weeks prior to 0.49 hitting stable. BEC got broken when they moved to a new multi threaded ACP, which it seems is when all these issues unrelated to 0.49 started happening. Although, ACP issues were happening they weren't as bad as they are currently. They're good at blowing smoke up my ass and replying to me like I'm some moron that hasn't a clue to what I'm talking about. Just fix the farking issues that should of been sorted when you said it would be sorted. I even had a senior member of staff "assure" me that all ACP issues were indeed fixed. I can confidently call bullshit. Currently the ACP is not setting the server time correctly, max ping and it won't even restart the servers half the time when they get stuck. If they go into a "stopped" state the ACP is absolutely useless and I will have to wait for them to answer a ticket on the issue, 8 to 12hrs later.

They are indeed still having ACP issues which was happening 2 weeks prior to the patch but the patch has definitely made things worse. I do hope they get the crashing sorted soon so maybe then they could also start fixing the ACP, BEC and other ongoing issues. Not all the issues they're having can be blamed on 0.49, as much as they'd like to. Their service has been extremely painful the past 3 weeks to say the least. Yes, I'm a very frustrated Vilayer customer atm. :(

They will assess the need to release server files, sometime in Beta.

At the moment server messaging and setting server time is not working. We're on the GSP to get these features working correctly. At least the servers seem to be more stable than they were a day ago and actually restart when they do crash.

Currently servers seem to be restarting every hour and a half and time resetting to 3pm. This is not our doing and hopefully the GSP will iron out the 0.49 issues soon. Hoping to be back to normal operation asap.

Here's what I can give you. http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/209353-experimental-branch-049-discussion/page-77#entry2113787

Extended maintenance. 0.49 being pushed.

Yes they seemed to have screwed BEC for server restart messaging as well as Max Ping. I can say when the servers are up they perform well enough but the backend is a complete mess at this point. When a server is in a down status and the GSP adverts 24/7 support your servers should not be down for 8+hrs multiple times. Then, just to be restarted and it happening again the next day and all without compensation. The only trouble here in AU we have a choice of 3, 1 of them I wouldn't touch again(Gameservers) and Multiplay are expensive, but the servers I had in the past with them were solid. I guess if Vilayer doesn't get their shit together we will have to make a choice. Since we have 2 servers with them and the prospect of another 2 in the U.S. and 2 in the U.K. you would think they would want that business, but I guess not bad enough to sort this out and keep us as a customer. Everything was good until the past 2 1/2 weeks, then it all fell to shit. Not happy Jan!

Vilayer currently has appalling support. ACP issues and servers down for more than 12+ hours with no reply to tickets. 24/7 support is out the window and is a farce. My servers have been down a ridiculous amount of times over the past 2+ weeks and all they do is restart them and say "it's all better now". I would currently not suggest Vilayer to anybody as far as support and uptime.

Regular server added to OP

People saying it's pitch black at night obviously haven't played during night for the past couple months. Night is far brighter than it used to be and no, it's not due to servers having full moon nights although this makes it even brighter. They have brightened the default night time to the point where you can see and is nowhere near pitch black. In my opinion they brightened night a bit too much. It's funny how people make excuses to not play at night, it was "Oh it's pitch black", now it's "Zeds are harder at night". Really? Zeds are actually easier at night and tend not to see you and chase you, so I don't know where this excuse is coming from. Htfu people, you're missing a good part of the game by not playing during night time. The whole gamma thing was because it was pitch black at night, now that you can actually see at night people using the gamma exploit have no excuse but to just be douchebags. Not ALL people use the gamma exploit and this is just another excuse. I don't know what people want as far as night is concerned but having night time as bright as day or being to the point you can see very well without a light source is kind of ridiculous. Not ALL servers have 24/7 daytime either, some of us do accommodate night time play and a day/night cycle.

When Zeds get finished and we have more of them, their threat will be far higher than it is currently. They have already stated they're working on more zed types. Whether that is just a different variety of looks or toughness or both they haven't clarified.

I am pretty sure the "boss" Zed will not make it's appearance in DayZ. Sorry to burst your bubble.

Mmmm server side optimizations. That would be brilliant!

Removed from what/where? I don't understand this first statement. Log access is the evidence we need in order to properly ban someone, unless you would like us to do it willy nilly. With Video/Audio plus log access to back up our ban, we're safe from the tools who cry Badmin when we do use the ban hammer. DB access is a whole other kettle of fish, whereas you can gear up whomever you like or spawn whatever you like anywhere you like. Can you do this with log access? The want of teleporting is just that, a want. It is definitely not a need to Admin a server and does not serve a real purpose besides trying to look l337. I'd like to know what we're suspect of if we're trying to make it harder for Badmins that have used these tools in the past; that you seem to be a proponent of; to cheat, monetize loadouts or whatever else they can think up. If anything, someone is suspect but it isn't us.

As Admins the ability to properly Admin a server is based on the tools we have and need. Most confuse the need with the want. What we NEED is: Log access Server settings(Accelerated Time Etc.) Banning Whitelisting Reserved slots External RCon (would be nice) We DO NOT need: Teleporting All seeing map access Full DB Access (These are just wants that badmins can just do without)

The DayZ engine is not complete nor is it even optimized to it's full potential. This is why it runs the way it does.

Afaik, walkies are currently not working but they have worked in the past. They supposedly have a 32km range when they work right as well as being able to speak in the frequency chosen. I've tried recently and the frequency doesn't come up when you hit caps lock or / keys.

They are the only ones who can help you with any questions you have, not just unban you. The questions you ask can only be answered by BE but I can almost guarantee they will not give you the whens, whys and hows of banning. If you would have done a search in these forums on BE banning you would see that anyone who has come here has been told the same thing. You cannot and most likely won't be helped here, those are just the facts. Good luck on your endeavour.

Whether or not you were banned falsely or legitimately, there is nothing anyone here can help you with. The only people that can/will help you are located Here. If they want to answer your questions they will, but I highly doubt they will give the whens, whys and hows people are banned.

Whenever 0.49 hits stable is when the wipe will happen. Whether or not that is today during maintenance is yet to be seen. Personally, I don't know if persistence is ready for stable, but that's just me.

It kinda does change everything. One could or should expect what was promised by the Alpha warning we received at every step of acquiring this wip game. In reality what is happening is the over expectations that people are putting on this wip game, who clearly can't read the warnings, haven't an idea what an Alpha is or just flat refuse to acknowledge DayZ is a wip alpha state game. That's the problem.
