newbies. always accusing the admins. *rolls eyes*

not here they dont. specially if they have beans.

wasnt lemon party one of those disturbing meme/troll things on the interwebs?

some countries actually have high upload speeds. I myself am running a 100/100 connection from my house. it is entirely feasable to run servers from home. it is not a question of running from home it is a question of upload/download bandwidth. granted. a home connection... likelyhood it is being shared with the home users general usage means there might be spikes. ect. but if you read that post. there are a crapload of "mabys" in there simply because this is not always the case. if you run a company from home and have an industrial grade/corporate bandwidth plan you can easily get 100/100 speeds. sure it cost a crapload. but I think it should be a case by case basis *as long as the owner can prove they have the bandwidth to take it*

you need to HTFU and quit complaining about admins people. Ive had the same kind of experience in ANY game ive run servers for. if anything happens that the player doesnt understand they immediatly scream ADMIN ABUSE! its like how people used to scream MAGIC! whenever they saw something they did not understand. just because your COD and Counterstrike and whatever admins abuse the crap out of the place does not mean dayz admins do. they have thier hands SEVERELY tied as to what they are allowed to do. not to mention having very little in the way of server side commands. I mean there were hackers spawning shit and killing people all over recently and half the videos on youtube the players are screaming admin abuse. when infact hackers have far more control over a server than the owners do. its rediculous. also crashing is very common in ALPHA games, so HARDEN THE FUCK UP! I swear, every damn game its the same bullshit from you pansies. got a problem? host your own god damn server.

blergh, As far as I am aware there are no restrictions on where the server has to be. the rules only state no Listen servers. ie. ones you run from in game. as long as your net and hardware can handle the load. there should be no issue. the only possible issue Fun is that you need a high quota per month. on the order of a terabite or more per month if your running 50 player servers. not sure about your provider but I would not be surprised if they call you up after a couple of months and ask why your thrashing the bandwidth :D

how do you get/ SP mod= non database connected server = not allowed to run while not connected? really, the devs should just leave people to do thier own thing in there. they are not hurting anyone exept themselves. (by that I mean not having the latest stuff)

Wow, first admin abuse thread that looks like it might be true and not a bug or server crash +1

isnt it related to the "difficulty" settings? like on expert or whatever it doesnt show up

rocket is referring specifically to servers that are connected to the database there redilS the OP was asking about non DB connected ones. any server running a mission that says DayZ- stufhereaboutwhateververisonitis is not connected to the database and is a private server.

Not connected to the database anyway. see, custom mission file.

oh your one of "those"

I find it interesting that a modder does not like people modding his work though. Im unsure how that is actually "distracting" unless your some kind of absolute control freak. If it was made an official version from the getgo and kronzky told to run with it then... I fail to see how bug reports for it could be distracting the devs as they would all have gone to kron. Guess I must just not get it. I think its a bit silly getting annoyed over people modding your game. Highest form of flattery IMO.

Im dissapointed in Kronzky. He had a great opertunity to help the community and according to rocket. he basically pissed it all away and we may never get an "official" single player now. good one. all I will say is this, Do not let his mistakes stop you from letting other people help you rocket. think of it like dayz. maby they wont stab you in the back if you give them all your beans.

this is like the 200th "appreciation" thread. I mean great mod and all but its not like we would be playing if it was crap. it shows how good we think it is if we continue playing despite near game breaking bugs that occur in alpha. just people playing should be enough to let the devs know we love the game. complaining is simply our way of letting the devs know we noticed an issue we would like fixed. the more complaining about a particular issue the more of an issue it is. appreciation thread? PFFT play the damn game and quit kissing buttocks. :P

You obviously have never played on a private server. Ive played on some with AI bandits hunting us through the forests at night. fought helicopters. military landing forces come to wipe out the infected. gone on zombie safari. fought other players *rarely though* AI last longer and you can make them do all kinds of things. gone on a massive marathon around all of chernarus. with a huge hoard of zombies in tow until they ran us to ground one by one as we fainted from exaustion and killed us all. try doing ANY of that in a public server? even when rocket went on bashurverse to do a marathon they locked the server so they wouldnt be hunted down ny randoms * i did not watch it so I dont know what happened. bet it was fun :D* so. if even rocket knows that its basically impossible to do anything other than hide in a bush shivering and clutching your single remaining can of beans and empty makarov like they are the last friends you have on earth. *which they are in a public server* then what does that say about the mod? its a cutthroat world of murderers and thieves. the problem is. they dont act the part. they do not interact in the way humans would before betraying other people. they just walk up and BAM in the face. even if they are outnumbered. its like suicide lemmings or something. People just do not care about thier life. in the way they would out of game. me? I would be pissing myself running through the woods if i saw someone else even point a gun in my direction, even if i had a gun. can you say you wouldnt be scared shitless? everyone would be. but no. survivors are fearless in this game. small group, alone deep in a city in the middle of the night, no lights left. no ammo, zombies everywhere? thats fear. that does not happen in dayZ public at the moment. there are simply too many people throwing flares and shooting eachother in the face to have that kind of experience. Not that I dont play on public servers. i stopped a few days ago once I finally got off the coast after an abysmal run attempting to get to friends locations. think Ill wait till the game stabilises a little more before I go further. I actually wrote a story about my escape but it got lost to the forum wipe :< just too many hackers. glitches and assholes in game at the moment. I just do not like "meta gaming" you know joining other servers or unpopulated servers to get where I need to go in another server ect. otherwise I would reach my friends easily.

aww man, since you posted that link this threads gonna be deleted XD

one method would be this. Each server made of multiple VPS or physical machines. Each one handles its own "map" but they are all cross persistant and treated as one server by database. each of these "maps" would be connected using road tunnles/ boats/ train tracks. you want to move to another area and your friend has called you on your cb radio for help? travel to his "server" physically instead of quit and join from server menu :D that would of course mean each server running its own map. but who doesnt think that would be epic win?

good, maby they will stop killing eachother on sight for no reason then :P

Local databases. not connected to the central hive +1 Optional, with ability to use local if the hive cannot be contacted would also be a useful backup for the developers if they suffer a major database glitch. DayZ changed fast. and not in a good way or in a way that in any way mirrors reality. Local servers would bring back the Old dayZ. pre hackers, pre murderfest. if you do not belive me. try out a private server sometime (hopefully you find a non broken one) devs will probably delete this whole thread any minute tho. rocket and the mods seem to despise any talk of local databases.

damn thats perfect :D wonder what happens next respawn ;)

mmm I would possibly just go with. Fade from black: Dude wakes up on beach. dusts himself off. begins to take first step. gets shot in the face. gilly suit guy gets up from nearby walks over, takes can of beans from corpse. dusts it off. then gets shot by another gillysuited survivor who picks up two cans of beans, the first and the second guys. end with one dude sitting on pile of corpses. really really fat with a pile of emtpy bean cans next to him on the pile of corpses. then dayz logo appears.

1.6.0.1 - STABLE 1.7.0 - Unstable/Test build (latest) 1.7 has a few issues atm but generally you have faster logins, also 1.7 from what I recall requires beta installed to work 1.6.0 is relatively stable but servers are becoming rarer. really up to you. if you have trouble getting beta working you might want to use 1.6 if you feel like living on the ragged edge. use 1.7

Actually it would be poor moderating practice to complain and lock threads that are complaining. no better than the people complaining if you do that. I say let them cry but create an epic image and just stick it in the first response such as a GIIANT QQ image :D But yeah. If you stop people complaining you cannot really judge the communities feelings on an issue. granted people complain ALOT. but thats because they really do not get what alpha is despite being told repeatedly. Hell im working on my own mod in alpha at the moment and would be completely unsurprised if the game becomes completely unplayable at some-point soon in a recent update. or something silly happens like ladders stop working or whatever. been there done that on the source engine :D Im actually amazed rocket has managed to keep the character database largely intact through all this. so should everyone else be. Bloody good work imo.

hackers are spawning hacked vehicles. anyone who enters a hacked vehicle is killed and the vehicle explodes. It is an anti vehicle spawning countermeasure added by rocket. Hackers as a result are baiting players with vehicles so they get into them and die. allowing far more fun than they would get if the vehicle simply let people get into it.
