what do you mean? we're paying 40 a month and its a brand new clean server. i see you're using host altitude, just ask them to give you a new instance id and you'll get a fresh start. vehicles may take some time to start spawning however

lol well played, nice teamwork and a lot of communication/patience. def some experienced players here the way you got taken down was totally shady though, if it's the same guy with the suppressed m4 who was shooting you the first time before you zigzagged away.

same exact thread #5236 here we go

DON'T. the amount of bs you will have to put up with is not going to be worth it. the game is completely broken at the moment, and something that i would imagine is a simple fix (for item saving) hasn't been patched in weeks. the beta is dead, they are basically just working on the standalone now. when i called out a bunch of clan kids on duping hacked weapons (as50 tws) endlessly on my server, the reply i got was "you can't ban us because rocket said it's not a bannable offense". as an admin you barely have any control of the server you are paying for, and the logs are a pain in the ass to read. nothing is being done to help server owners out, infact i noticed everything is going against them. me and a friend bought a server because we were tired of the bs restarts everytime we steal an admin's vehicle/helicopter, and wanted to have somewhere where we could have a good, fair game. right off the bat the saving issue kicked in and nobody wanted to play anymore because they can't save their progress. as one wise individual pointed out "our server is only good for duping because it is really fast at loading". now it's basically dead and we are shutting it down. tl:dr: save yourself time and trouble and don't rent a server until standalone

if you shoot the corpse of a dead player not too long after he died, you get those messages in chat

(also when i keep saying beta... i mean alpha, my bad :P)

not sure, but i know more and more people are realizing this, which is why you tend to see a lot of discounted dayz servers for ridiculously low prices often on the forums now. at this point in the beta, only established servers are going to survive, no new server stands a chance, so the business is going to die soon as well and they know that

my friend logged into camp one time and found a guy in civilian clothing in the driver's seat of our uaz. he proceeded to take the guy out and found that he had nothing on him... no kill message either. i was just glad that no one actually found our camp, which has never been raided before :D strange things happen in this game

oh god, really? i thought you can only create a waypoint if you had a gps. that made sense to me is why i always used a compass to find my way around. ofcourse i stay away from servers with any type of nametags/crosshairs, defeats the whole purpose of the game imo. maybe waypoints are in the same category

i stopped watching on "compass - not needed when playing alone" because it's actually one of the most useful tools you can find :P

just wanted to leave some feedback my friend and i are renting a server from hostaltitude and it has been working flawlessly. there was a problem with the update feature where it would display an error, but that was taken care of quickly after creating a support ticket. also, tents/vehicles do not save due to a hive issue, and we ended up with a ton of broken tents at our camp location. we created a support ticket explaining the situation, and they promptly gave us a new instance id, which is exactly what we were hoping for. server has been up 99.9% of the time as advertized, and after adjusting a few advanced server settings, barely any desync or lag. no problems whatsoever and good support keep up the good work!

me and my buddies were playing and were in a barn on the west side of the map when someone started talking to us from the forest behind. we didn't notice anything suspicious and proceeded to talk to him and wait for him to come out. he precisely told us our movements and how we rotated (how he sees that we have 2 guys in the barn, 1 by the truck) even though we had no eyes on him whatsoever. then, boxes full of gear started spawning in right by the barn and inside the barn. that's when we realized theres a hacker messing with us. we logged off promptly, there were not many people on the server. i kicked the 2 that i knew for certain weren't with us. I am sorry to HotBox, who was a fair player and got kicked by me in vain. the second was Jason (10240262 ID). now i am new to server hosting and did a bit of research on checking logs, and soon found this in my arma2oaserver.RPT: 9:41:38 "CLEANUP: KILLING A HACKER Jason B 1-1-I:1 (Jason) REMOTE IN ParachuteWest" 9:41:38 "CLEANUP: KILLING A HACKER Jason B 1-1-I:1 (Jason) REMOTE IN ParachuteWest" 9:41:38 "CLEANUP: KILLING A HACKER Jason B 1-1-I:1 (Jason) REMOTE IN ParachuteWest" 9:41:38 "CLEANUP: KILLING A HACKER Jason B 1-1-I:1 (Jason) REMOTE IN ParachuteWest" 9:41:38 "CLEANUP: KILLING A HACKER Jason B 1-1-I:1 (Jason) REMOTE IN ParachuteWest" 9:41:38 "CLEANUP: KILLING A HACKER Jason B 1-1-I:1 (Jason) REMOTE IN ParachuteWest" 9:41:39 "WRITE: ['PASS']" 9:41:39 "PDEATH: Player Died 10240262" he did not actually die in game, and was shooting one of our guys who remained on the server to save our pickup truck. i kicked him in the middle of that, and now he is banned thats all!

i can confirm this issue. tents/vehicles do not save on our server after restart. tried everything i could and it just doesn't work waiting patiently for a fix

simple suggestion: remove l85 aws from the game, and add thermal goggles which would be the rarest item in the game. say twice as rare as nvg's, and only spawn at heli crashes. what do people use the l85 for? just the thermal, its a pretty crap gun otherwise with its 4x zoom and weird accuracy second suggestion is to add BEAN ratings for threads on this forum, so just like stars on steam forums, people can rate the threads on here with beans :D feedback pls

yo this is the only 424 server thread i found on the forum but i wanted to go a bit off topic here and say these guys have been a group of standup gamers and admins. yesterday we get a message that their server is closing on the 11th of this month, but that they will be setting up a new one. please let me know the details so i can continue playing on your guys' server, and good luck with everything. (hope a tlh member reads this)

really need a "trading" subforum these come up here way too often

yep, me and my buddy stole the chopper and were very happy to find it saved at our location the day after. logging in for a random check, i see an admin message "everyone who is not in one of the 3 clans get the fuck out of my server i am fighting hackers". then i get kicked wtf kind of way is that to be talking to people playing on your server anyway? are we all hacking? later in the day we flew the chopper, admin was on the server definitely, and then all of a sudden no message recieved for 15 seconds mid air, server down and after restart chopper/ural/tents everything gone. dont want to hear any excuses, it's blatant obvious what happened there

yeah so it seems the server admin took that opportunity to completely wipe the whole server data, rename the server, and start fresh right as he saw us flying above elektro. vehicles/heli/tents are all gone well played :\

yo. this just happened to us on US 905 either the admin pulled the plug or the server crashed, we were in a heli when we get the no message received and get kicked off the server. server has been down for more than an hour now, don't know what to expect. figure its either gonna be in the last saved location or on the ground beneath where it was. hopefully it aint gone forever

nobody said anything about being good or not good. that all depends. there are some people who like to troll calling others noobs without knowing them at all, which is why i proved otherwise with my above posts, which i wish i didn't even have to because its not about me, i want to help improve the mod i laid out 3 suggestions here, lets get back on topic: 1: get rid of l85aws, and add thermal binocs instead which are very very rare. this removes the "OP" part of teh weapon where you can see in thermal vision and shoot at the same time, whilst retraining thermal ingame 2: add beans as stars to rate threads on this forum 3. add a lootable notepad so you can leave notes around that others can pick up and read. would be fun imo

if you got nothing productive to say about my suggestion, then gtfo, troll

http://s11.postimage.org/cmqegdx4x/oa23.png done. also had a jeep, but fraps was not on so no screenshot.

i know how to zoom in and out. i would zero it in properly and try to shoot a zed, and it will miss a few times before it finally hits. i don't suck at shooting either. and no, i don't camp the east coast, i camp the NW airfield, how no bandit kills i don't know, maybe they don't like to come up there much to loot? or wait, maybe the whole bandit tag is broken, that seems more likely. full gear came from me and my squad raiding a clan camp, taking down 3 people inside, 2 of which i killed but did not get credit for because they dc'd instantly. and from ambushing a bus of 6 earlier, with only 1 casualty on our end, then taking it and another sedan to do donuts at the airfield.

im a noob? http://s7.postimage.org/nfrnxkod5/image.png http://s17.postimage.org/x4r5ui48t/oa2.png ahh, perhaps i meant thermal binocs, used only for scouting. just like the rangefinder, you pull it out once, look around, then whip out your primary weapon. that adds more balance in my opinion i don't

3rd suggestion is to add a lootable notepad, with say 5 sheets on which u can write whatever you want, and then have an option to leave a note to any gear pile, as well as tents/vehicles. when someone comes across it theyll bne able to pick it up and read what's on there
