Marvel (DayZ)

Hi all, We are moving host and hardware for NL 13 + NL 20 right now, expect some downtime for the next couple of hours. CPU gets upgraded to E3-1270 (from 1230), connection from 100 to 1000 mbps, harddisks on Hardware RAID 10 and the data center will change from Proserve to Reasonnet hosting (Amsterdam). I'll update when we are back online!

Took a little longer but servers are back!!

Hi all, Servers NL 13 + NL 20 will be replaced this week for a new system with faster hardware. The connection will be upgraded as well from 100 mbit to 1 gbps. We ordered some brand new colo servers and are waiting delivery which should be this week, however the dedicated server NL 13 & NL 20 run on right now is about to expire so we'll probably have some overlap / downtime, depending on how fast our new host provider can deliver. We'll get new IP's as well for the new server which means all stuff, cars, helis, tents etc. will most likely reset so if you play on one of these server we advice you to move your stuff over to another server for now. We will announce this in the motd as well. Thanks! mgftw.com

Server restarts are pretty common, on any Day Z server. Either the server crashes sometimes by itself, or it gets laggy because of a constant memory leak (don't forget DayZ runs on Windows) or because hackers are spawning too much stuff or using scripts that crash the server. But Rayzel aka Smokke doesn't know what it takes to run a server, he probably thinks running a server doesn't cost you anything and is as easy as tying your shoelaces (although I doubt he is able to that). It's players like him that destroy the fun of hosting and playing games like Day Z and Left 4 Dead. Look at all his other posts here, they are only about hacking and cheating but the only thing he's complaining about is that some players 'out-cheat' him. lol it really doesn't get any better than this.

Oh and what behavior is that? Banning you because you were being a racist? Banning you because you were threatning to ddos our website and destroy our servers? And fyi, if someone uses a hack and provides the info he gained with that hack to you then you're a hacker as well, period. And if I ever see you on our servers again I'll instaban you within 10 miliseconds. I think we can close this thread now.

Aw great post, let's all give this guy a big applause. So you got it all figured out huh? Just like that? So let me get this straight, you wanna wreak some havoc on our servers because....???. Next you post a cheat report about admin abuse. You don't seem to be very objective anymore after saying that are you? Ow and of course you had an AS50 and L85 yourself. And scanning around with the L85 is enough to see everything and to verify that nobody is there, even people behind trees/bushes/buildings can't be missed right? From what I'm reading here you're a map hacker yourself, considering you are THAT certain nobody was there. If you don't hack you can never ever be certain not even with a L85. Next, you assume that marv = marvel, nice assumption. I always play under marvel not marv. Besides, anybody there can take anybody's name. It's really not that hard you know, just edit your profile and change your name but I guess you didn't know that. So to conclude, all I see here is somebody that doesn't like us because he's been banned (due to his own behavior) and is now posting false accusations. Give me the proof (screenshots, videos, anything else) and I will take that back immediately but stop those: "I think", "I assume", "maybe", it's all blabla

We run two DayZ servers (NL13/NL20) and at any given moment when the server is full there are lots of hackers on it. I could see 4 or 5 helicopters fly over when the server was just restarted. Cars, ATV's even boats can be find everywhere in-land. The spawning of stuff is so bad that it even crashes or lags the server from time to time. I can't do anything about it. I can't proof if they are hacking, I can't see who's flying these choppers, I can't see anything in the logfiles, not even who killed me or others using a cheat. We need a better global ban system next to Battle-eye, like metabans (BF3) or sourcebans where admins can ban/kick cheaters and other admins can connect to that list so that if a cheater gets banned on one server he's banned on every other server, that way we as admins can share our bans. Next to that we need more power, better logging so we can detect cheaters more easily. The only way to detect cheaters now as admin is to cheat yourself which is just plain BS! PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!!!

BattleEye only bans the noob cheaters, that execute scripts downloaded from *** etc. The paid cheats are all undetected. My battleeye log doesn't show anything and yet I see people spawn choppers when I play. So yeah 12K is a nice number to say but the 'pro' cheaters or at least the people that pay for their cheats are undetected and not being banned. And if they do get banned they buy a new key just as easily. If they pay 10 - 20$ a month for a hack then there's nothing stopping them buying a new key for maybe $15.

Don't use Six, it sucks. Just do a manual update, use the torrent file.

I never had any glitches before 1.7.2.4, no matter what my settings were, nvidia or ATI. It's introduced in that patch and now rocket can't fix it anymore, like with many things. And the graphics is not even the worst thing, it's the amount of cheaters that makes the game really unplayable. If you join a 40 player server 30 of them have an AS-50 and full gear. This game has now become death match, not a survival anymore.

Whatever server I join there are always cheaters, even on my own servers and there's nothing we can do about it.

I'm not gonna make the deadline so I extended NL13+NL20 for one more month because I would hate to see it go down for maybe a week. This will probably mean we'll run parallel for a while so don't hurry anymore moving your stuff ;)

They will have the same name, just filter on mgftw or NL 20 / NL 13. I hope we can get it online tomorrow or the day after tomorrow but I'm depended on the host provider for that. UPS already delivered the servers.

More slots really depends on the work of the DayZ devs. The problem with more slots is that it leaks memory faster which in term means there will be more restarts needed. To keep things running smooth we already have to restart every 3 - 4 hours. If we make 75 slots that will be every 2 hours.

The problem with this suggestion is that people need to stick to one server to play, if that server goes down and never comes back you are history. So to solve this you can still spawn on the beach if you pick a new server but still have your loot, guns etc.

This game has two major issues: - Development is way too slow, - With every hotfix one issue gets fixed and two others get broken again :( I'm not saying this to troll but seriously, if the War Z is gonna be as good as Dayz (and it's not the only competitor) or even a little bit worse but no bugs then everybody is gone from DayZ. And yes it's ALPHA. I know, but there are still as many bugs as two months ago. Why is that?

Ok so right now everybody is a bandit. Killing other players is the main goal right now, surviving became the second one. This should be more balanced because in real life, if something like this happened not everybody would start killing each other, not everybody is a serial killer even when their own life is at stake. So I think there should be an incentive for not being a bandit and a disadvantage for being one. This can be done in a lot of different ways but maybe you can add your mood level or mental condition to the debug window, if you kill a player your mood goes down, if you help somebody it goes up. You can make a scale from 0-100 where 0 would be a born serial killer and 100 would be a very helpful player. If your mood drops below 50 you start to feel it, you need to drink and eat more, your condition suffers from it (run slower), your aim goes down while the higher you are above 50 your mental state increases which makes you run faster, don't have to drink and eat that much etc. That way, if you're, say, on 90 you can afford to kill somebody and take his loot, if you're on 10 you can't afford it. This won't prevent pvp which is good because it's part of the game, but it will prevent useless killing like spawn camping. Of course this is just an example but right now surviving in this game is only physical, you need to be hydrated, you need to eat, watch your blood, temperature etc. There should be more mental related stuff in it as well because real survival is everything about the state of your mind, your attitude and not only if you have enough food and water. What do you think?

Game has been laggy all day today. I've never had this I joined several servers and there was a lot of lag and desync. It might not be your PC. I have 2x6970 / 2GB in crossfire, 16 GB ram, core i7 2600k but today everything just seems laggy.

Yes confirmed, I believe they can even run upon hills where regular people can't :rolleyes:

You are so frustrated dude, did your girlfriend break up with you? :rolleyes:

Alive Characters: 367' date='501 Bandits Alive: 67,750 Tell me, why should I bother reading the rest of your idea when it's based on a premise that is demonstrably false through stats posted on [b']this very website? You people wonder why you get nowhere on this forum. Open your eyes for a start. Edit: Yup, read the rest of your post. Standard anti-PvP bullshit. "Please punish people for playing the game in a way that differs from my own." Here's a tip, chucklenuts. If you want to discourage banditry, pick up an FN FAL, put some bullets in it, and discourage the living shit out of them. The designers aren't going to be your knights in shining armor, riding in against the setting sun to rescue you from the big bad bandits. Obv. you missed the point of my post entirely since I'm anything but Anti-pvp. However, terms like bullshit, chucklenuts, the living shit only say something about your level of intelligence which means you are either 12 years old or you live in a country with low education standards.

So I was just playing DayZ and re-spawned for the 1.543.219th time after either getting killed by a glitched zombie or shot down by a player while I just spawned on the beach. This time was different though, made my way in-land and after a while I was quite packed with gear: guns, drinks, food, blood, morphine so everything I needed to survive. Then I had to run from 4 or 5 zombies that spotted me. Suddenly I was losing control over my character and it started to make all kinds of dance moves right in between a lot of zombies. Next thing I know I got teleported with all the other players on the server, about 50 of them, high into the sky and we all fell to our dead. That's just f*cking insane! And then I'm not even talking about that time where an Apache helicopter flew over, shooting everybody on sight (ok I just did). My point is, this game is getting to a point where it becomes unplayable. I mean this game already consist of glitches alone which I can deal with to some level considering it's (pre)alpha, but right now it has even more hackers than CoD and Battlefield together. Makes me kinda sad to see a game like this, which has huge potential go down the drain like this. The idea behind this game is great, best idea within the last decade but I think it's just worked out poorly. So my suggestions (yes finally, sorry for the rant and thank you if you're still reading) are: - Dayz concept is proven, so label this a proof of concept built, throw it in the trash and start from scratch again, let Bohemia support it with their team and make it a standalone game. Set out a course with community input and do things right from the start. - Do closed alpha testing with server admins and a group of trustworthy players. Do a public beta when it's close to RC. - Either let server admins have there own, private hive (or public if they want) or make this a MMO with Bohemia/DayZ servers only like BF3. These servers can be funded by selling the game and/or with micro transactions by selling in-game items. This 'semi-dedicated' thing is never gonna work, maybe short term but not in the long run. And yes, these suggestions would be bad for me because that would mean I can't play this game anymore, but it will be worth the wait when it gets released. Those are just my €0.02.

Hi all, I'm from the Left 4 Dead community mgftw.com (you might know us when you played that game). We're pleased to announce a new DayZ server, 50 slots (for now) located in Amsterdam on a gigabit connection. For who is interested the hardware is a Xeon E3-1230 CPU with 8 GB RAM. So far it runs pretty decent as it was already full when we started it (I guess we need much more servers for this game :D) We have a public teamspeak channel as well with 512 slots, so if you wanna join us the address is teamspeak.mgftw.com (which is located in Amsterdam as well). If you're looking for our server just filter on 'mgftw' or 'NL 13' and you should be able to find it quite easily. Right now we're still doing some testing and we still need to make some additional settings but you're already welcome to play of course. Any suggestions, complains or anything else feel free to post here but keep it friendly please :rolleyes: If you want to talk to our members and admins, you can login with your steam ID on our forum at http://mgftw.com as well.
