I was just banned from the same server for the same reason while opening a door holding a hatchet, obvious bugged script detection going on here...

I will not be passwording my server if Rocket allows it, and it is a dumb idea to allow it. The heart of this game is the randomness of who you meet out there. If I password it and require people to submit an application I am hand picking who my opponents are, and likely trying to make them friendlies. We do need more powers, the power to ban hackers, kick people in more broad circumstances, and to have more control over stuff on our server (think the server messages)...this would solve a lot of the problems because server admins are usually proactive in removing a threat against their investment.

Yeah I am not scared at this prospect at all...so some people are going to herd a bunch of tards with big guns through the streets? All it takes is a few general shots, some confusion, and they kill themselves. If anything it gives a hard target to harass.

There should be no reason for solid proof to ban a hacker or exploiter...they are our servers, and its a local ban. If we miss ban they can go elsewhere. Currently if i get a hacker i just shut the server down for an hour. No point in having it up if people are going to duck it up for the rest of us. I am done with logs anyways. I am just going to send the deva log in credentials to check my logs daily, and demand they find the hackers and exploiters. Let them deal with the 1gb file... And what is that forum mods problem. He clearly hates server admins, look at his first post...

No, this is a dumb idea. Survivors have the same amount of access to sniper rifles, and can defend themselves. They chose to run solo with an ak though. Silenced weapons make a distinct sound, and are easy enough to track. Quit your belly aching, and go get a decent gun, and use some tactics and you will be fine.

Doesnt work for me, it wil revalidate, i launch everything, and then try to play and it kicks me...I verify cache again and it downloads shit again, and again, and again...so apparantely shit is broke, BI fucked shit up...

There are tons of people playing this game. I have set tents up where no one would find them before...and my camp was raided in a few days. Just bad luck, get used to it.

Yeah that tos is irrelevant though.look up the legalities of what they are staying and you will fine they can't do any if that. If they fail to provide a service because a server is down or experiencing performance issues Paypal and or your credit card company will gladly give you you're money back. Its fluff to keep you worried so you don't try to force a refund.they can't and won't enforce it. As far as 6 days without a response i find that hard to believe they get back to me in 24 hours now. Hop on their ts and poke one of them with your problem and they will fix it very quickly usually.

If someone is on their ts you can get a response their. But other than that support has always sucked, and they know it. As far as the Cp changes, you didn't need access to all that crap anyways.they just implemented it, and are receptive to constructive criticism.i filled a ticket last night about access to more of the config options. They had them added by morning. Servers do need frequent restarts, 3-4 a day. I have 2 set up to auto restart in 12 hour increments, leaving the admins with options to restart if they see an issue. No lag at all really. A far as tos violations, they are between a rock and a hard place.if your IP gets blacklisted that's 5-6 servers that are now blacklisted because of 1. They have to be strict. As far as refunds are concerned it is not fraud, will not hurt your credit, and is perfectly fine to contact Paypal or your credit card company about services not rendered. They should prorate the month anyways if you cancel or are terminated, that's just good business practice. But if they don't you can simply state you payed for a service that was not provided, ether you didn't like the quality or were terminated. Now every time i have conttacted them through a ticket about billing issues, they immediately gave what i asked for. Now that may be because i was asking reasonable stuff. As far as prices being raised with more support, that is true, for new subscribers.not anyone current. What i signed up for explicitly stated i would get my price for the life of the server. So their support is lacking.don't go here if you need hand holding.if you can figure most sir on you're own go with them it is good service, and no one can touch their prices. Also they are in bed with the devs so they will always bend to Dev will

Ok, so I figure it is time I come back with my actual review of the service. I am keeping it, and this decision has a lot to do with billing practices and price. The price is very competitive, and they have honored cheaper prices with a support ticket for me. The support is still really hard to obtain. The operation is simply too small for the amount of servers they have. It is a little better with the control panel now because you can be a little more self sufficient, but support is not always quick, which can lead to a server being down for a bit. My server is the least laggy, and has the least amount of desync issues of all servers I have been on. They also change the layout of their site every 30 seconds. That does become frustrating. I prefered the layout they had once they got the CP initially. I do not like the current layout, its clunky and difficult to navigate. But thats not really a selling point anyways. I just ordered a voice server. So We will see how that goes. So with that said, now that I have been on the CP for a while, and 2 updates I would reccomend these guys, but if you cant figure some of the stuff out you may need to go with one of the more expensive more managed solutions out there.

DayZ US 742 (1.7.2/94444) [3dp:on ch:on] [uTC+8] dayzmod.com - Hosted By Peripheral Madness Ugh, thats the new server name. Everything else is the same, same location in seattle, still inverse, same mission file. Dayz just decided we couldnt have specific location names anymore for some odd reason. So we are left with the atrocious us 742 name.

Kt was much better before, you could find tge servers that werr closer to you based on the city or state it was in. Now you have a thousand us servers with sequential names for no apparent reason

Soooo...this is supposedly a dev server which makes this a little disturbing. There was a trading post set up, with out of game structures and such. I am told it was a dev testing stuff so w/e on that aspect (fraps incoming). So a bunch of guys started sniping (I died early) the trading post, killed all the trading staff, and a bunch of the traders. What is very disturbing is that as shit hit the fan, at least 50% of the server was at that location...the server gets reset. too much of a coincidence for me, and blatant admin abuse on a dev server. How can you have all these high and mighty rules for admins, and then you dont stand up to them yourself? This is messed up, and should not occur...the devs should be held to a higher standard.

Dizzy, you should get a thread up and going about the concept you had in mind. I did like the idea of a trading post and the possibility of deployable structures, and do havr some constructive things to say about it, but if we discuss it here it will get flamed out. I had a blast firing the shot that led to the killing fields down there, and would love to do it again under a sanctioned environment...

I think the issues can easily be broken down: 1. Dizzy lied initially and I called him on it 2. Dizzy states he was acting on his own, not as a DayZ dev, and not doing anything sanctioned...This means he abused his position for what, while it may have had good intentions and a cool idea, was against the rules for everyone. This thread needs to stay open for discussion, but the screaming at dizzy needs to stop, just discuss shit or they will llock it like they do anything else contreversial. I do applaud dizzy for not locking it himself, that was a smart move.

And bring back disconnect messages because no one can come up with a reason for them to not be here.

The community does not think testing new ideas is bad, the community hates that our hands are tied on everything, and then we find out your threw it all out the window on your personal server. You want to test? Do it as a DEV, start a server, or change the server name to Dayz Dev test server temporarily, and in the motd say that it is rocket approved, hell link to a thread...leave it unlocked because at that point people will probably be chomping at the bit to get in. You can look at my OP, I mentioned the situation, and said I was under the impression it was an official test of sorts. It was only when I was told it was not that I tripped out... And I stated before that I dont believe it is the communities place to decide on a punishment, only rocket could do that. But I fear it will be lip service for the community, if anything. On an item that anyoone of us tried on our own would have caught a blacklist a guid global ban. 1 sided is the problem...

Dude, you went from oh fuck I messed up ok ya got me lets talk about me fucking up, back to fuck you insolent bastards overnight?The reason everyone is sticking their nose in it is we all know you will get a harsh slap on the wrist at best, but the rest of the community would have been drawn and quartered for anything closely resembling this shit. We pay for servers, and have our hands tied under this universal bend over and take it in the ass from the community policy. Well, we thought it was universal. What we find out is that if you have a special colored name you can more than likely get away with shit.We just want shit to be fair. I would love for shit like that to be available to any server owners to do...plus disconnect messages, but as it stands only people with colored names get that privelege.You want to get out of the spotlight as the evil Dayz Staff that abuses his admin? Then go talk to the dev team, and get shit changed. Own up to what you did, accept some sort of punishment, then tell them to enable disconnect messages again, allow experiments like this on all servers, and to treat everyone fair. Become a liason between us and Rocket, instead of some DayZ staffer that abuses his status, lies to us, then gets pissy and butt hurt when called on all of it, and asked to speak for himself.What I love about this whole thing is how Legacy started to come to your defense in blind faith of "Prove it" mentality like he usually does...then it gets proven and he doesnt try to defend you, and no other DayZ Staff has come in to your defense. It shows that you fucked up, and fucked up bad.

disconnect messages are not on with all servers...its a per server basis cause some people edited their mission file.

I dont want sidechat. Sidechat is stupid, and I am glad it is gone. All I want is the disconnect messages. Thats what I cant understand why they are gone.

http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=32007&pid=281909#pid281909 Maybe some one should look into banning them since dizzy could care less about hackers that have good intentions... Per Dizzy, he hacked the items in without dayz permission, and on his own. Will he be global banned like the rest of us would have? http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=32007&pid=282197#pid282197

I dont know how to enable it so w/e. But the problem with using the logs is I dont get access to the one with the disconnect messages until the server restarts. So I would have to stop the server everytime someone dodges, which is quiet often, to catch them...with the messages we could take screenshots and such. Plus other admins have stated text can be altered, so they wont accept log entries as proof. So if someone appeals it, I get in trouble cause I dont have the SS in-game. Why was it taken out anyways, gives no extra anything. Mention it up the chain of command for a lesser punishment? Enough people want it back, those that dont abuse the mechanic...

Honestly the initial problem I had was with the disconnect messages. I had a not so nice on my end exchange about the disconnect messages with you a few weeks ago. I am still dissatisfied with your response of check the logs...I just want to be able to ban pvp dodgers. As far as getting pissed about the trading post, that only came after I found out that it was no an official test. My problem is, and you know this is true, shit like that is against the rules, and shouldnt we all be held to the same standard. If Rocket comes out and says, hey everyone can do that stuff as long as its nice, and for better of the community tests...the great. But as it stands you acted as a regular server owner, just like me, and used that position to run an unsanctioned test thats against the rules. I will defer to Rocket if/what punishment you should recieve. It's not my place to decide, but the fact of the matter is you broke the rules regardless of your reasoning. On a non flame note, I liked the idea, and I liked how it became a killing field after I started shooting. over 25 people died according to people in ts, and I only killed 2 and wounded 1. I think if they made a way for server owners to set a few permanent structures up to mix things up, or made lootable structure items to build shit like this on a server wide basis it would be cool... You just went about it wrong. Can I haz my disconnect messages now?

Was it a sanctioned test, by DayZ, by rocket? Or was it a personal test? I never stated the guns and shit were not legit, I couldnt figure out if it was a tent, ammo box, or server hopping to hand it out so i didnt bring it up...the structures were not, and you confirmed this. So we are in agreement, they shouldnt have been their legitimately. I dont care to put them in my server because I know I will catcha global ban over it...

Well, because you just said it was not a test, and you knew nothing about it, and were not involved two posts ago... "First of all you dumbfounded retarded fuck" you asked me for some respect before, and I backed down but now your going to throw shit our here like this. The was 100% not legit. There is nothing you can loot in a server that gives a two story bunker with a crows nest, and ladder going to it, and where is the camo netting from? You cant loot that shit. So, if you were working as a dev, good for your for testing...if you were working on your own you deserve a global ban just like anyone else that would have hacked items into the game, and built an illegal, otherwise unatainable structure, would catch. If what you say in this post is true, calling yourself a liar in the other post, then you abused your admin ability, and dayz staff status to put items in the game that are otherwise unatainable, to build a new structure...you also abused your powers, and violated dayz rules by allowing side, and disconnect messages on your server. I am just pointing out, its a two way street...if I have to follow the rules you do too...its that simple, just because your name is in purple doesnt mean you should abuse shit. I like the idea of having an ambushable point...but in your own words you are not anything sanctioned, and should be punished like the rest of us... So, the sandbags and barbed wire on the ground could be legit, unlikely that many were looted though. But what about that structure that is up top, the one with a ladder on the back side, the one that had snipers in it, one of which I killed in the video? What about the camo netting draped over that 2 story structure with the roof, what about the camo netteing on the left over the entrance. There were also extra stop signs, and road cones spawned in on the front of the structure where everyone was corralled... So dont try to pretend like this was a legit undertaking... and since when can you stack barbed wire?
