Haha, such a good read! personally we do not care that we were banned at all, they'll eventually end up with no players anyway if the admins of UK 1 continue to abuse. Still! justice should be served by getting these scrubs removed from sixlauncher ;p aswell as the other admin abusers that are reported on these forums EVERYDAY. Blacklisting isnt really that effective.. considering the assholes that are infact blacklisted turn to private servers in the end.. and are still available to the public on the same advertising level as the legitimate whitelisted servers ;p i guess that's our only beef, poor unsuspecting players will join this shithole, not mad.. just dissapointed ...

Hopefully many will agree with me, NO we cannot do anything to take their servers down, but players dont need to put up with this sort of bullshit, private servers, ones that do not clearly indicate that they are private, and have abusive admins should be removed from our sixlaunchers if this is within power of rocket. They do not deserve to advertise in sixlauncher alongside the legit servers that follow rules, they ruin the player experience because of their abusive ways, in effect hindering the mod as a whole. Edit: and no its just UK 1 :).

aye ;) we killed them on the roof too, although there was no way to get their loot as they hogged all the helicopters in their in-accessible base, blatant admin abuse, they had no choice but to ban us for making them look like complete idiots. I call that a morale victory, the 13 year olds can have their admin powers ;p, but what the community wants is these bullshit servers off our sixlauncher lists.

Of course i understand what "private" means! i think you fail to understand where i'm coming from with this post, and the intention of the thread-maker. so allow me to dumb it down. This private server, displayed amongst the regular servers wouldn't be an issue if it clearly stated that it was a private server, and gear you acquired on here could only be used on this specific server. One of the two main issues is that it's named UK 1, fooling users into thinking its a legitimate hive server and giving no indication otherwise! the second issue being admin abuse which i do not need to go into again. This is why many of us think private servers being cleaned up from the sixlauncher would most likely solve this issue, there are many other ways to gain a player base advertising private servers -.- i dont think its fair at all especially with a name like UK 1 that they get to be in the same category as servers used on the main hive, not only was it distressing being banned after countless hours of play on a server for questioning an admins abuse.. but the fact that i realised that my gear wasnt on any other servers limited me to playing a single one.. without any indication meant we had to put up with this admin bullshit, rather than sacrificing the gear we'd taken a LONG time to get. If you dont think this is an issue you're either one of the two, another private hive owner or infact one of the admins that'd banned us xD, i cant see any other normal player siding against this.

Maybe rocket should introduce his own sort of launcher ;) meaning only servers connected to his hives are displayed, the servers with bullshit admins such as the ones on UK 1 dont deserve to have a player base, and giving them an equal chance vs the other servers that people go through the trouble of white listing and securing against hackers is just absurd. :) Even so, a server that's reported by numerous players should atleast be inspected by whatever power rocket has towards sixlauncher and removed from the list accordingly ;P maybe this shouldnt apply to some of the private servers that actually follow the rules but who am i to call the shots.. as i said ;), just a heads up for anyone thinking of playing uk 1.

I'd like to stress another important issue following the reason we came across this server in the first place. -The fact that it's named UK 1 is most likely a direct attempt to detour players into thinking that they are one of the main UK servers on the legitimate DAYZ Database, as the majority of other servers on rockets hive follow the trend of UK 127 and GB 50 which is just a brief example. -Upon logging in here admin abuse ensues, its quite frustrating after searching for gear as you would on a regular server! Personally i think private servers such as these shouldn't be shown on things such as six launcher or even the arma2 server list (unless it's clearly stated that it is a private server and will not carry over equipment you've found to any other server). -This isn't just some petty rant, as you can see Nyxe2k and myself are friends with similar names on these forums, him and i were both banned from the server after tedious hours of playtime, aswell as MANY and i'm talking around 8 people who questioned the admins actions towards taking the only servers high end vehicles and storing them in an impenetrable fortress, and using these to get to inaccessable areas to kill players that have no chance of getting their loot when they die, as they simply fly back in their helicopters when we manage to kill them. -Another instance of this abuse is when we did manage to find a bunch of vehicles in this "so-called" base the server was rolled back within 5 minutes and the "wall" around this base was re-enforced ensuring no one could enter, now i don't know about anyone else but i think this is a complete disregard for other players wanting to make progress in this game. -Now i'm not sure what action can be taken against a server like this as they're the ones paying for their hosts and setup the database themselves ;p, although something as simple as removing them from the launcher would surely help towards what we have witnessed today which is the pure administrator abuse and shit talking to other players, something that ruins such a community driven game such as this. If other people just see this as a post of me being butthurt over a ban from a server imagine urself in another players shoes being banned for questioning why this abuse is happening this post is really a shoutout to other players, to not join this poor excuse of a server, you're only wasting ur own time if you want to progress.

Good to hear about the fixes of 1.7.1.2 atleast food spawns are back :P

Ignoring the fact that the food and drink spawns are broken (Making the game almost unplayable) the main situation people seem to be having at the moment is the aggro more than anything else xD I can understand that the developers have put alot of effort into this patch to try and fix the retarded infected animations, the fact that they can hit through walls and never de-aggro, etc... but the new mechanics seem to have ruined the game for me and my friends that played on a regular basis, i cant imagine we're the narrow minded few that have this opinion. Instead of giving half-assed answers or deleting peoples posts why not listen to the majority of the community that enjoyed it before? It is no longer fun having to crawl everywhere on such a large scale map, not only does it take hours to get through a town but it makes you an easier target for players at a range that may be in the hills with a long range gun. Looting was fun before as it was a simple in and out job, Taking out zombies if needed. The games atmosphere was tense, even though the issue of players being the main threat rather than zombies needed to be addressed, the current patch still does NOT fix these issues, simply just ruined one aspect. Getting equipment from scratch has become a tedious task without a firearm upon spawn and as mentioned before food and drink neglecting to spawn is a HUGE issue that cannot be ignored by the developers for much longer. The patch introduced a few great things such as being able to LOS infected, and i guess they needed to hit a little harder, i suppose this was an answer to what needed to be addressed when people were complaining that zombies were too easy. Although the new aggro changes seem to make it a more viable tactic to simply run at full speed until you're able to lose a train of 20 zombies through a building, as crawling is far too slow. Proning is no longer viable as its aggro ranges are near the same as sprinting, but allows you to get hit by zombies that come at you quickly.
