Hello Rocket. Sorry to have to bother you with an Admin Server abuse issue, but there is one on North Carolina 4. The situation occurred on June 27th. Our team found a camp that comprised of over10+ vehicles and 10+ tents loaded to the brim with all elite weapons/gear. Our team immediately starting taking the best vehicles and gear and moving them to a new location. Shortly after this the server went down. This happened at approximately 5:30ish pm est. The server remained down until approximately 6:45ish pm est When the server came back up several people starting questioning the admin about the server going down and the key vehicles in question. Based on the admins answers and with deductive reasoning we were able to conclude that this was the server admins base. Within 10 minutes of the server coming up. We spotted a vehicle approaching us were we had moved the vehicles to before the server went down. A short battle occurred and the server admin was killed…2 secs after he died the server went down again. The server came back up pretty quick and I immediately told the admin I would report him for server abuse. He justified the server failure and stated it was not his fault and he would let our group kill him once the server was completely up. I stated this would not pacify me. When the server did come back up the admin was still dead at the battle scene. Our team immediately started to move about and heal and the server went down yet again. I again challenged the admin to what the hell he was doing. The server then came up again and three of our team members were booted from the server. Upon trying to log into the server again, these three members were are all in no man’s land and stripped completely of all gear. Shortly after this the server went down yet again. We challenged the admin to why our gear was stripped and we were booted. He justified this with some sort of ping setting and stated we would be fine once the server came back up. The server came back up and these same three members were forced to respawn as we did not have any gear and no way of knowing where we were. This admin is clearly not only abusing his power, but hording pretty much the entire servers’ vehicle spawn. This admin makes me sad. I truly hope this matter is looked into. Thanks in advance for any and all help, William

Of course you didn't. That's why you posted this in public right? So no one else could give their input on your sob story of "abuse" You could have sent a contact form...you could have even gotten on the IRC...but no...you posted this in the server general forum for all to see.....and expected no one to comment on it. And then when someone does...you say "Go away little boy, your input isn't wanted." You are clearly a child with no grasp on the admin process. All you know is "Someone stole my lollipop...wahhhhhh wahhhhhhh" :) Lol...wow, another abused child...You really think this is about gear? Please just go away...nothing to see here.

:s :-/

Please forgive my noobness as I never played Arma until dayz So I have found the m4 cco and also the mk 48. My question is how do you aim these. They both have the red dot above the iron sites and I don’t know which to use when aiming or if there is a way to toggle between the two. Thanks in advance.

MK 48 obviously. The LMG. Sorry mk 48. :s

I was wondering if it would be tough to implement binding a player to one server until death or they self respawn? Just though it would really solve a lot of these server hoping issues. I know one argument will be people will cry about gear, but come on…this is alpha and it’s going to get wiped anyway. Just a thought, what are yours?

Reading is fundamental: Respawn.

People blipping in and shooting me in the back in an area I have already secured seems far less annoying to me, than decided to kill myself and respawn due to a server being down or unplayable… That’s just my take… Yes in the end it’s all a testing environment and will be wiped, but if you prefer dying to a server hopper and enjoy popping in and out of buildings all day to get loot….rock on.

Overall patch is a winner. Needs some smoothing of the rough edges, that’s about it. Biggest problem I see is many players want instant gratification. Aint gonna happen here friends…the goods are there to be had, try to be slick and you too can achieve them. However...run around town, building to building, like a raving lunatic and become another statistic. Again I refer you to system/game requirements… Requirements: • ArmA II: CO • DayZ Mod Files (Available on the downloads page) • Balls Probably should be updated to include Beta. Really to all you people who seem to like to gripe…there are plenty of hack and slash…go play them if you aint got #3 requirement.

Ahhh…The Ol “I told you so.” The mere fact that peeps went to the extent to post this, in fact proves them to be wrong.

How bout people just stop freaking crying about all the pvp/pk or whatever you want to label it? This is anarchy from a game stand point. The laws should be made by the players. There doesn’t need to be any changes with the system. If you want to be a trusting fool in a post apocalyptic environment, go right ahead. Don’t try and punish others though if they want to plug you in the back. Trust is a rare commodity, and….well….so are beans.

Dallas1 seems to like to kick. Had it happen to me and a friend. Seems if you don't have a special tag, you could get the boot.

I hate to ask this, but I feel it must be addressed. Do the male/female chars have the same size hit boxes?

I’m not good with names. I think Vendetta or something like that was in chat with me more than once. I was only in AFK when AFK and I was never before asked to Identify myself. Other than that I was in a group channel. I can’t tell you who gave me the password because it was over Vent. I’ll be glad to confirm it. I play with Jones, who you have already invited. I didn’t speak much, because I was always in the airfield and your team stated they don’t try and hold that anymore. No harm. I can survive alone. I just enjoyed hearing the team over voice while I was playing. Later.

PR at its finest….not. So a few days back I join these guys and pretty much hang in their vent Channel silent. Overall seems nice a cool group of guys. I listen in for a cpl days, not really saying anything since I’m usually at the airfield and they are not. Later on one of the Rangers chats with me a bit and gives me a password for another group channel. So I join up and listen in some more to their play. They tell me to change my tag to [Rangers]Rooster, so I do. I listen in more getting a feel for their play, etc. So last night I log in jump in a channel and some dude says “Who the fuck is Rooster?” I key up and say “I am” Dude gets back on and says “who the fuck are you?” Ok, I’m little confused at this point. Not sure what he is looking for here. Not sure what to answer… I key up and chuckle a bit “um you going to have to be a little more specific, not sure what you are looking for an answer here?” Dude, “What the fuck are you doing in this channel?” Ok at this point it’s obvious to me I must have overstretched my limits in Vent by joining this channel or perhaps maybe even being part of this group. Maybe they are in a delicate operation…I’m not sure? No I just jump back down to the afk channel trying to avoid any conflict. I am then immediately banned and kicked from the Vent channel. Nice PR work Rangers. I suggest a little more coordination in the group. You just banned a good player for…well…no fucking reason! Tata

Any chance of wounded players leaving a visible blood trail until they actually bandage themselves? Just thought it might add a little more excitement to the pvp battles. Thoughts? :s Thanks again for everything Rocket!

I completely agree with this. Please allow tents to be placed in cover. Survival is one of the main aspects in this game. Who is their right mind would place a tent in the open. I really see this as a no brainer and truly hope it is fixed. I want me tent to be so hard to find that I will even have a hard time locating it after a couple beers.

Just looking for some feedback. This is not a gripe thread. Want to see if others are experiencing this. Since the latest patch I have had very sporadic save issues. Basically when I log out, logging back in later seems to produce very unappreciable results. It can vary from missing equipment and weapons to complete different location on the map. (Too include many popular starting locations.) Sometimes I’ll be fully geared and start at the ocean, sometimes I’ll be missing my main weapon and other goodies and be in the general area where I logged. Once I even had a complete different main weapon. Anyway, just wanted to see if others are getting this same type of behavior. Again not a gripe…Also I am waiting for the debug to state “unsaved = false.” Thanks for the feedback and see ya on the battlefield

I heard rumor it was a player that heard DayZ would not revert on the current patch. So he took two cyanide pills. He decided dealing with the current zombie threat was just too much. It’s just a rumor though.

Well worth the investment. I too just purchased it Friday just for this mod (based on a friend’s advice) and my eyes are completely bloodshot from playing. Now I’m thinking about calling out sick to work. Buy it…Buy it before it’s too late…Buy it now!

I have to say I’m really surprised at the amount of complaints regarding the amount of zombies. I’m new and I love it. Perhaps some need reread the game requirements: Requirements: • ArmA II: CO • DayZ Mod Files (Available on the downloads page) • Balls Please leave the masses of undead the same…and increase the respawn timer.

I bought the game Friday just for this patch….worth every penny. Now that I read this thread I can’t wait to log back in! The game was too easy and I agree with everyone that stated a huge zombie population will only add to the excitement and challenge. I will agree that I would like to see the respawn timer slightly increased. Even yesterday before the patch, the respawn times did seem a bit extreme. I couldn’t even finish looting sometimes. Please keep making the game tougher! From what I read on this thread I like to think of the new patch as, “We are not trying to discourage Player Killing, We are just trying to better promote Co-Op play” :P
