Cochese

Kirby is the other server admin according to the MOTD.

Seems the server crashed, this appears to be at least the second day in a row this is has happened, and I believe at around the same time as yesterday. Coincidently, I was actually in the same town both times.

Would the coward who murdered me at the Solnichniy gas station please stand up, we'd all like to know who deserves the award for outstanding achievement in the field of gutlessness this year. You shot a man with a hatchet as he was fueling his vehicle, unable to move and posing absolutely no threat. I guess you're a shy one, it's all right and I forgive you, but be sure to pat yourself on the back wherever you are, you earned it.

I had more gear than I could use in 5 lives. I hit the jackpot at the NW barracks and walked out with 2 snipers and 4 assault rifles, thought I'd spread the wealth since I've had mostly positive dealings with players on the server.

Posted this in the trading thread as well: I've got a bunch of weapons I'll be giving away later tonight, assuming my gear is still there and nothing comes up that prevents me from playing.

Heads up, we got a confirmed scripter: saw Matticus get banned for spawning a vehicle earlier, when I logged out before the restart just now they were still in game.

That is odd, usually when I'm on with a group that size, there's quite a bit of action going on somewhere. More than once I've seen kills happening repeatedly for several minutes at a time. Looked like a battle between two clans on at least one of those occassions. I remember when a Huey showed up in Cherno, saw lots of people scrambling then, first time I'd had that much fun on DayZ in a long while. It's been Spring Break and exams for a lot of people the last couple weeks, maybe when schedules settle down we'll get some more activity like that going. And maybe I have an idea or two for an event if we get a decent crowd again.

Finding directions without a compass is easy, just look up: clouds always blow west-to-east. There are a couple other methods listed here, if you want to pretend that doesn't happen and roleplay or something. Or, if you have a map, you can just be lazy and shift-click to place a marker. I'd have traded you my compass if I'd seen this earlier, I never use compasses anymore for the reasons above, but I was being an idiot and walking on the dock in Elektro and randomly got tossed 20 feet into the air and died.

It's unfortunate for all, but I'm also relieved we're not the only ones with the problem. No time tonight, but I'll check in the morning if it worked and let you know. Thanks, I speak for my team and say we appreciate the speedy help.

Sorry for a double post, but we encountered a problem and I wanted to make sure the thread was updated. My group has a couple vehicles, one is irreparable. We get the options to make repairs, and the parts get used and we get the success message, but when we check the status the damage indicators have not changed. Refueling does not make the gauge move at all, either. Tonight, just after the script kiddie posted the Justin Beiber banner, we saw that the fuel in another of our vehicles had reset to almost empty, and we had just refueld before the attack. We assumed the rollback had reverted it to last save state, before we filled up, so we refueled again. Now it seems to have the same problem, and no amount of gas registers on the gauge. It is slightly damaged, but we haven't tried repairing it yet, though I suspect it wouldn't work now. We wanted the admins and everyone to be aware of this, and we wanted to know if anyone also notices issues with their vehicles. My friend suspects the rollback triggered the bug, but I'm not sure, since there hadn't been a rollback to my knowledge before we found the first vehicle I mentioned. I hope there's a way to fix this, it's one thing to lose vehicles to other players or poor driving, but it would suck to lose them to a glitch or not be able to use new vehicles at all.

Yes, zombies appear in the wilderness now.

Did tent spawn rates get nerfed hard or something? My friends and I have been playing on this server for at least two weeks and none of us have seen a single tent. We've checked Cherno, Elektro, and Berezino apartments, offices, and grocery stores multiple times, even doubling back across town when the loot respawns. We've gone looking for camps and haven't found any pitched tents either. I'd be willing to trade my ghillie for a tent at this point. Never mind, finally found one.

Been wanting to try Namalsk, might be able to convince a friend or two to come along, but none of us will put up with script kiddies. What kind of anti-hack counter measures do you have? Also, is this vanilla Namalsk or do you have like 500 vehicles and start with an assault rifle and backpack full of supplies?

Jamal was the only one I knew was doing anything, and only because the name came up when the anti-hack message appeared. When I saw they were still in game later, I figured they were the one spawning in stuff, but I had no idea the dog was part of it until reading the other reports here. You can never stop them all, but you have my beans for trying, sir.
