Let me explain a situation where ghosters really fuc*ed some stuff up. I run the CQF and we like to play on our servers. Last night, I managed to get most of my guys on the server for a major convoy op. We had 4 vehicles (all with gear [med supplies, guns, ammo, even a mountain dew]) and we were making our way out to do some extraction of team members and survivors from hostile zones. Long story short, we made it to the NW airfield where a squad was under heavy fire. We rallied by the lone two northern hangars and put the vehicles inside and formed a perimeter. Our squad was at the ATC tower and heavily engaged, so we moved to meet that front. Next thing I know is that my guys are reporting that they are being shot, so I order a retreat into the hangars until we could regroup and go on the offensive. We put the vehicles in front to provide cover temporarily. I was in a the hangar with 15 other people and the next thing I know, the fire on us stops as the shooter disconnects. So we begin to regroup. After about 5 min of aiding each other and rearming, we were good. the next thing I know, the shooter reconnects in the middle of my group and ends up killing 6 of my guys before we can get a bead on him. I ordered a rapid pull out of the airfield so that we didn't lose any more guys or vehicles. Then as they go out, the two guys my lone squad was fighting spawn in and riddle the convoy with bullets. In the end only 3 people and 1 vehicle from my original group made it back. Now in a non-ghosting situation, I would have admitted a fuckup on my part somewhere. But I think that this issue was a huge problem. It ended up setting us back and forcing us to stop any friendly extractions of random friendly survivors for the near future (until we rearm and such). I spoke with ander (who came on due to complaints of me banning a ghoster a little earlier) and he stated that it wasn't an exploit to ghost at this time, wait, what?!?!. So I unbanned the ghoster from my server. When I said that compares to death dodging but I feel it is 10x worse, we got on the subject of how to deal with exploits. Apparently, I am not to ban exploiters (could be wrong)but should kick them and not on the first offense. As a server owner of a bunch of servers, I feel it is concerning that exploiters, especially ghosters (the bastards taking advantage of the glorious hive system) are able to just continue their cheating without reprimand. They need to be banned as it is just as bad as hacking. When we figure out the situation on dealing with specific types of situations, there needs to be a post made in the forums and stickied about what server admins can do to deal with specific types of douchebags.

Just send me a PM with any questions :) Johnny PS- Remember there is a great sale going on! PPS- I'm setting up the new servers today after work (in a few hours)

Any thoughts?

I think that the CQF would be a good option for you. We always have players on and don't have a required schedule, just give what time you can. http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=2568 Johnny

You're welcome to check out http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=2568 We are the CQF, I think you will like us

Good to do, except most people I know refuse to use 93825 due to issues and use the next latest mod

It's one of the major flaws with the way our characters carry across multiple servers. Any time we go from a server we know to a different one we risk losing days or weeks of hard work to an abusive or careless admin. This kind of situation is particularly frustrating because I didnt even get the chance to go back for my body since he shut down the server. Hmm I find this more often than not that I end up being screwed by ghosters and not by others.

I was told by Ander this evening that banning for exploiting is not allowed, just kick em.

We have been having Ghoster issues recently, this has hampered our efforts to assist survivors. Please bear with us.

Lee changed my personal server to GMT-5 which is east coast time. If you notice above most people want that time area but there are also others that want "I have only just one question - how to change timezone? Currently it looks like server time ~11pm and my time ~8am and this is no good" It is difficult for us to manage it all and we are trying to come up with a solution for everyone since the only way to change time for servers is to change the server time. DayZ team has stated that there will be another way released soon. Johnny [align=center]This just in: We have a special deal for you!

Changing the timezone is possible. You need to contact Lee on Skype (lee.netarus) and let him know the timezone you want changed. From a support standpoint guys, there will probably be longer wait times if you use the forums. Please send a PM or a skype or even an email ([email protected]). We can take care of things better that way. Cheers, Johnny

Thanks GM. Our system installs a server automatically. Currently I am the only one who deals with whitelisting and IDing. We have worked hard to cut down the steps from roughly 2 weeks to just a few hours for complete setup. Please bear with me while I set things up as I will be home in the next 30 minutes. Cheers, Johnny

Thanks for the good rep guys :-)

servers updated :) and Lee is back :)

Ok thanks, no problem

Just got a call from Lee, he should be home very soon today! :D We will get all your issues fixed out and solved ASAP. I'll skip the bar with friends tonight :P so that we can get stuff settled in and working 100% for some intense zombie killing action :D

As of right now......its on hold for a few hours. I posted in our main thread that Lee was taken to the hospital a day and half ago for heart problems. He has just called and said he will be back soon. :-D

Absolutely, just come around TS whenever you can. :)

Hey Guys, If you are not having vehicles spawn, then your ID is most likely above 1000. IDs above 1000 will be getting vehicles soon :) Johnny

Target, your ID is >1000 They assured me, those ID would be set soon :)

Hey Guys, I am really sorry, but right now more advanced problems are on hold for a day because Lee (the owner) is in the hospital for a heart issue. The doc said he should be back within 6-20 hours.:s Johnny PS- I can sort out most problems

Yessir, you should hear something about this very soon. Johnny
