website is down, wanna organise to join the server but yeah can't apply

plenty of beans given! lol well i've started a thread on my forum so that people can tell their stories and name and shame the users, if i see them they get an oversized rcon enima, I actually try to recruit users on my server who stay and fight or just dont log out as soon as they see us. just recently got 3 more recruits from randoms we ddnt shoot onsite and they didnt log out straight up. if you dont log out your alright in my books. especially when 3 quads and a uaz full of visibly well armed bandits rock up next to you while raiding one of our tents HAHA!

Yo, as soon as I have the footage I will share it with the world lol I'm the admin for my server and we are all stupidly limited and battle eye is next to useless which is why im even more surprised this lot just kept Alt+f4'ing my whole clan got wiped out by hackers and within less then an hour we have loot piled NW and stary found a few crashed helli's and were back to full gear. but in all fairness I could have banned these sad acts for combat logging but I was happier to run my clan through some paces to see how good they all work together and man they rip that shit up!

Alt+f4 is a pandemic to be honest, it's the go to reaction for people who are scared of playing the game properly. my Clan server was hit with a barrage from a clan =YK= some members being Kily, Mkiwi & woodpecker or some shit. this war waged for no less then 5 hours it started with a clan member being sniped, so I ran in to help i got ontop of sniper tower in cherno and starting taking pot shots with the fal these =YK= twats start firing back.... as you would expect over 800 metres! they kill me.... big surprise i take the death instead of alt+f4'ing and relocating. my clan converge on cherno and i get back to my body only to find a sniper on the tower hes one of them i lay a 20 bullet fal clip into him and he alt+f4's no death count but flies are there, we see 4 more at the fuel station so we start trying to take them out... 1 dies to dmr he alt+f4's, other 2 go down alt+f4's the last one alt+f4's while hiding in the fuel station.... not one died with dignity. then over the course of 5 hour they proceeded to ghost and log back into the server to try to take us out, and they tried everything. towers, buildings, shooting from 1.5k's out with as50... this clan was the biggest bunch of pussies I have ever seen, as soon as we locate them they logged off. my team members even when cornered fought back and died without logging, it's pathetic =YK= and [KOR] where there clan tags grow some balls you fail f'n bandits and learn to play with some skill, we will wipe the floor with you everytime... oh and we have it all on Fraps too lol gonna chuck it up youtube just to show how bad that was. LOL -notap

to confirm the above not that it needs to be myself and my group have been testing this out. 1)collected vehicles -restarted "MISSION" this wiped everything down to the tank traps -restarted server, this brought back all the tents and traps but all the vehicles where in there original locations 2)collected the vehicles -restarted the server and low and behold out of 6 quads 1 ural 1 uaz 1 motorbike and 3 full tents we got in return the following: `1 tractor `1 ute `1 quad `1 full tent 2 empty tents I dont know what i should do... roll back the server or just dont restart the server, is there a dev ticket open for this issue?

so your saying restarting the mission is a new fresh map and will delete all the vehicles?

Hey Guys, This thread is here for information purposes only, if you are interested in joining up with us head to socaus.net. the culture of SoC has changed as well a few other things, we currently have forum\server\ts3 up and a website is under construction as we are growing larger and are no longer just a rag tag bandit group, we will be hopefully be growing into a gaming community and exploring other games for fun and competition. so to the troll i bit you farewell, if your up for a fight come find us were always keen for some interesting fights if you wanna come play for fun awesome come along. FYI SOC clan server does not have a ping limit as it is ment for australians and the server is not ruled with an iron fist, we wont be hording vehicles nor using and admin power (or lack there of) to create an unfair environment.

and you sound like a try hard key board warrior who thinks like all bandits hunting bandits that we will be at the coastal cities hunting noobies, there is nothing wrong with getting into the bandit spirit it's half the fun of this game champ and if you think you can take us go ahead and try as i'm pretty sure i'll wipe the floor with you :)

Hey Mate, No to me that sounds like someone is hacking in vehicles, as we were excited to see vehicles on our server but to check i had my group save all the vehicles found then i reset the server only to have them ALL despawn. at the moment i shut down my server if i hear a vehicle driving through or a helli flying over because I know there are no vehicles on the server, heard a helli "shutdown"

Running a server, up to date with the same issues as everyone else. 11/08 - everything works fine, tents saving confirmed after testing, helli crash sites spawning loot but no vehicle spawns. -I was excited to see that a helicopter and a quad on my server but was overly suspicious, after forcing a restart on the server they despawned (hacked in) sigh *epic sad face* will wait like the rest of you, im sure that just because the forum has not been notifed that the issues are being worked on, this generates too much revenue for them to have 1k+ admins about to close there servers.

how would you do this through RCON? my server is with HFB and they have extremely limited admin tools.

I would like to hear something from someone who actually has had a server setup that has had vehicles actually spawn.

Hello, I have read this issue multiple times, I am aware that the hives ability to keep up with all the new servers is a little lacking and im happy to wait a little while but again no vehicles are spawning on my server *day 2*. Can I get some help even from fellow admins .... is there a way to scan through the logs to check for vehicle spawns? before anyone starts crying about doing this pay attention... my clan do not want to jump on for days on end checking for vehicles to spawn when there are none on the server, I want to be able to confirm at least 1 vehicle has spawned on my server so that i can go on and play on the server Me and my group pay for. if anyone can assist please let me know! thanks. -notap

Silent, I think many of the admins would agree that they host the server, they should control it... simple yet affective if I have a server and a Forum i would happily allow anyone who signed up to the forum to access the server, the password would be RIGHT THERE... and you may be thinking well a hacker could just go on and grab it.... and yes you are right a hacker could but there is effort in signing up to the forum there is effort getting the password and hell the password would change and banning would be easier.... that would be in my opinion an easy solution to culling some of the incessant server hoping hack monkeys out there. might not be perfect but it's something.

I am with you on this, un-wittingly I set up a server on a whim with HFB servers turn around time was amazingly fast... 50 bux a month isn't so bad with 10 clan members contributing but after reading all of the above and the countless other threads i can see that server admins powers are severely limited. I would happily assist in the organisation of a dayz admin\server strike as I have read through countless threads that have been posted by Server admins... the only people commenting are server admins saying "yeah seriously wtf is with that" and fan boys (half of which are most likely hackers themselves" backing the the Dev team even though im sure not one of them has donated to assist in keeping a server running... im yet to see someone from the dev team come on and say to the very least... guys we have it under control be patient... nope just let us brood and shut down the servers. with a large enough group of servers that go down there will be nothing but notice taken as well as action taken, I shut my server down during the offpeak times for aus to stop pathetic hackers from ruining the server at least while im not there. battle-eye anti-cheat is severely flawed and they cannot seriously expect us to rely on there ability to handle the hackers can they? i see "Legit Global Bans up to 11,000" legit? one of my accounts got banned because a hacker decided to telle my boat on to the land... battle eye banned him before he killed me i laughed... then got banned for telleporting. flawed anti-cheat - server control limitations - lack of Dev team support for people who believe in their work so much they fork over the cash to pay for more servers so MORE people will be able to play which means MORE people will buy the game... I honestly feel sad about this regardless of the standalone coming this mod is by far the best game i have played in so long, it's even sadder that the hackers are but 50% of the reason this game is starting to sink. my rant is over but if your serious about organising a shutdown, email me at notap@socaus.net
