Kracken

And there we have the root of you particular problem MAc, may I call you Mac? I feel for you I really do, I myself want to, shall we set up shop, on 1038 but I play usually later as well. And yes it is REALLY annoying but its a necessarily evil IMO. We are two sides of the same coin but I accept it and see the good. We could really get along.

I think you are kind of missing the point of what i was trying to say, so I am sorry if I wasn't clear. I do not believe I said it was OK for All server admins to do it. But you can infer that from my argument. But let's clarify, its is OK IF, and that's big IF there, they are doing it as an anti hacking measure for the greater good. I fail to see though how this is fair to no one and give the only advantage to the admins/hosts. That part confuses me, allow me to explain. Firstly, How is it fair to no one? is there only one server you play on? if so then yes that could be unfair. but there there are SO many to play on. Even if the fore mentioned EVERYONE was to only play when they were awake, I'm sure you would find dozens or hundreds of server to pay on. And surely it is fair to those who run and are in GMS, that's whole needs of the many outweighs the needs of the few argument. Secondly, if by the only advantage you mean the ability to protect themselves better from hackers. then yes you are correct. That's it, period, that is the only thing that they use it for. Its not to stop people from taking their stuff , shall we call it legally, like raiding. It so that one random guy that wants to troll everyone doesn't wipe out what they made through hacking. You seem to be taking a small in fracture and blowing it up. and out of proportion, you making it seem like they have god like powers. They aren't hacking.You still seem to not see the bigger picture. Open your eyes for a minute and look and see it all. And lets remember this is an Alpha, not a beta and not a release. it is also free. You seem to be pointing out this flaw and demanding justice for something that doesnt effect you at all, accept that you play on their server. Unless you had a car loaded with stuff and they shut down the server for the night and you lost it all. in which case I'd demand justice too :-)

So they do something wrong in order to make something great and you feel that you have to go run and tell dad? Maybe you should spend your time helping fix bugs or help get better anti hacking software to keep hackers out instead of showing how much a douchebag you really are.

IT's threads like these that make me loose more of my nearly non existent faith in humanity. It seems like the OP is either some sort of rule Nazi or wants to get a pat on the head for pointing out one server. Here is why I have no problem with 1038. IF the game had actually good anti cheat software It would not be a problem, however the amount of people that are hacking in this game is ridiculous. Now I'm not talking about me getting shot and being pissed off because I can't figure out where it came from. I'm talking about people that are teleporting across the countryside, that spawn in a chopper or aircraft, or my favorite, teleport ALL players on the server to central point and then watch as they run around frantically before some satchel charge of C-4 sends them in thousands of different directions. Unless these are all features in the game I wasn't aware of.... Now look at the WHY they turn off 1038. they do it to avoid some hacker from flying over top of it, in some type of jet, and dropping a nuke into the middle of it. Which could be done fairly easily, judging by the amount of time i have seen some unkown person display powers that a player could not possible have. And I'm sure this situation has happened already, they have woken up and logged in only to find a smoking crater where GM used to be. IF that fair? is that "According to the game mechanics." NO on both of those questions in my opinion. 1038 is also the only server i have run across that is friendly..... friendly, I believe is how you say it. I have played on a number of different servers, and the majority of those are shoot first unless you have that clans tag in front of your name. On 1038 the majority of players want to work together, you know for the greater good, instead of blowing each other away. Working together in one form or another makes the game better. MAny times on 1038 I have said hello I'm friendly to someone else and then we ran off together. Nearly every other server that exchange has ended with a bullet in my head. Why do I say this? TO say or show you that this server is a good server, allow me to wrap up.... SO In the end, are they doing some that is against the rules, yes. However it is because so many don't play by the rules. GMS has taken a stand against this for the greater good and limited the servers up time so that friendly players have a bit of a safe haven. Not so it wont bee destroyed in a raid but so some loan jack ass doesn't nuke it. Its their own form of anti cheating. You seem to be missing the picture and are just saying this is wrong because its against the rules. Guess what, the world is not black and white. its shades of gray. This is one of those shades, this is one of those times you have to turn a blind eye because you have looked at the bigger picture. Like if someone steals a loaf of bread to feed their starving family. Maybe instead of pointing a finger and saying "daddy, they aren't playing in my sandbox the way the lady told me!", you should See that while one kid is breaking the rules, those playing with him are having fun and that big mean kid cant go jump in his dads car and run over their little sand castle.

I remeber you fang, sadly we didnt make it much past there, we had it to the treeline and too a barn and then i lost my net connection, came back and was dead, so sad. And I was waiting for everyone to start shooting in that firehouse.

I'll repost this here since I never heard anything back on the other thread IRL Information Name:Kracken (seriously its what I answer to) Age:28 Location: Alaska Timezone:Alaska GMT -8 Do you meet ALL the requirements? If not, which ones are you missing and why?: No I meet them all, though that maturity one is up to debate depending on who you ask =P Game Information IGN:Kracken, you may have seen me around Steam ID (if applicable):twitch483 Desired group role (Medic, sniper, spotter, etc): I am much more of a scout than anything, Also I'm fairly good at leading a small squad....so Squad leader....I guess idk. Why you would like to join? What interested you about us? (min. 4 sentences):Well I saw the old thread and had applied there. After words I start playing on your server almost exclusively and can say that it is more friendly...friendly. More people on there want to work in a group. The lone wolf thing doesn't really appeal to me and I like have people to talk to an work with. Also the fact that you have a "permanent" settlement means that I could set up a tent there a be able to hoard a few things instead of loose them to every random snipers bullet. Also GMS seems to have a plan or goal, or at least some damn structure to it. Sandbox games are great but if you dont have some sort of end goal or objective whats the point? What skills / perks can you offer to [GMS]?: Well though my accuracy isnt the best in the game, no real sniper here. I do happen to have a fairly good knowledge of the map and where things are. Also I tend to make a few more decisions quickly, mean when a small group is made people seem to be like what do you want to do? We can go if you want? I tend to take charge and say lets go here and then here. Also when in a group i will communicate Everything so others can know whats going on. For instance when I'm about to take out a Z-head in my way Ill say "Firing" over mic so that way when my gun goes off people don't freak out and think some bandit just shot at them. Finally I'm packrat and like to take just about anything that isnt nailed down. My plan once I find a good place to drop a tent is to use it as a point to just hoard guns, ammo, meds, parts and whatever. That way I have plenty of crap on hand if it is needed. -EDIT- PS: when do you plan on updating the server to 1.7.2.4?

I'm curious about this as well. I was hoping to make the GMS server some place i could set up shop so to speak but I'm in Alaska time so I'm a few hours behind most peoples "regular" hours.

or try this http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/45202-fix-for-being-kicked/

If you have the game on steam then try launching arma 2 and then exiting the game then AO and exiting then use the Six launcher should fix the problem

Did the server go down, just when i got the steam fix....sigh

Try this, worked for me. http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/45202-fix-for-being-kicked/

follow these steps, this worked for me. http://dayzmod.com/f...r-being-kicked/

followed the original post....now thate edited version and you Sir got my beans, nice work!

you are welcome

Im trying this now will report back when done

medium answer: nah

Name: Kracken (seriously its what I go by no joke) Age:28 In game name:Kracken Steam Id: Desired combat role (Medic, sniper, exc):I would say Im a pretty good Scout right now I have only been playing for a few days now. Why you would like to join (Going to need to do better than simply ‘lookin 4 group’) : Well I like to try and give people a chance and see if they are friendly, but as you can imagine I get shot quite a bit. Every person I have met so far has been very unfriendly. I want to join a group and run with other people, going solo just doesnt seem too much fun. I like the idea of working together and moving as a group and playing the game with some sort of goal besides grab stuff and run to get more stuff and try not to get sniped by some guy on a rooftop. What can you offer to the clan: I try and use my mic whenever i can for sommunication, i am very generous and will help whoever needs it. I also play as a packrat and tend to pick up whatever isnt nailed down. As I have said earlier I like the idea of a scout because i tend to look around and see which way is the best and do a bit of exploring at the same time.

Im also interested in running witha small group, everyone i ran in to on this game is unfriendly, my steam ID is twitch483
