Fyre (DayZ)

You know, you'd think Heinz and Mountain Dew would be all over the idea of having their products idolized in some fashion. It's PR gold, without any effort on their part. The idea that some jerk would say "NO" outright is ridiculous! It can't possibly cost that much to license the name like that. What's more, the Paste and Frank & Beans are old discontinued products that shouldn't have a bearing on whether or not they're used. But I hope for Day-Z's sake that they continue to use community idolized products.

Since when does ping rely on system specs? Ping is all about your internet connection. If you're trying to connect to a server all the way in rural China connected with a rusty coat hanger instead of an ethernet cable running on lemon juice power, your system might as well be the star trek Enterprise, and you'll still lag. That being said if it's global for every server, perhaps you should give a call to your ISP. Is any other game affected?

DPV Private Hive. Been using it for a while. Very fairly administrated, good anti-hax. Never been a victim of it thus far. Their ban list is 1400, last I checked. Not even map h4x gets through.

So I've had a working public Chernarus server forever without much issue. Recently I've been interested in setting up an Utes server. I took down the Chernarus server, and altered it to what I think an Utes server should be. I must be missing something, because anybody trying to join gets the following error: The directories vary depending on where ArmA is installed, but the files are always the same. All the Day-Z PBO files. Not sure what to do.

There are still servers out there with proper adminship that are fairly hacker-free. However, most people I know that are tired of the game are simply bored of it. There isn't much end game besides PVP, and they don't care for straight up PVP for PVP's sake.

I've seen them found in the NW airfield once. However, it does not work. It makes a sound, and shoots, but.. doesn't seem to shoot any *thing* and isn't able to be pointed.

Jumped in - that place was RAIDED. Most tents are empty and a lot of the good stuff is gone. Couple neat things.. compass, alice packs, and various weapons remain. All the illegal stuff, save some mags, are gone. Few dead bodies around, but nothing of particular interest. Well done. Nothing worth losing your life over at this point, though. Unless you want to run over the tents and flatten them so they have to place them again.

Don't exactly have a Heli on NZ servers.. how is your connection to US ones? What guarantee do I have that you aren't gonna shoot me and take it? =p

Well damn. I totally had a bus ready to give away and everything.

As an admin who is direly trying to avoid admin abuse, I apologize for the others. I am also trying to manage actively, but the mod does not do me any favors. Case in point, when we actually had a teleporter hacker on my server, it was impossible to determine who it was. I actually started trying to determine who was or wasn't and took a leap of faith and kicked two people. Half the server died that day, and I don't even know if I got the guy. I felt terrible. It's also near impossible to communicate with others in case somebody DOES catch the name, but is shot.. and can't type it to anybody. So ARGGGG. As an admin trying to be a good admin, it's difficult. I imagine some don't even try do to the near futile nature of the task.

I've seen on a few servers that once in a while, the server wipes all instances of loot on the ground. So that is to say that supermarkets, military spawns, and other frequently looted places that have been picked dry and left with nothing but empty cans and chemlights are cleared and allowed to spawn new, useful items. Without a server restart. Anybody know what that is? I hate that I have to basically restart my server if I want to regenerate crashed helis, or basically reset areas like the NWAF barracks by loading up all the junk and dropping it outside to trigger new spawns.

Seeing as I still see loot piles in front of places that have been placed hours, if not *days* ago.. this doesn't help if the areas in question are full of loot that nobody wants. Very few people are willing to pick up trash loot and move it so that fresh loot can spawn. The plugin I mentioned does a server-wide wipe of all loot on the ground, and basically makes it so everything is empty. Then the system you linked kicks in, and things will spawn. It's not instantaneous, but it saves a lot of time emptying crap from places.

There are a lot of false positives for the Create Vehicle Restriction #1 kick. I've seen people doing nothing but logging in get kicked for that. Same for Script Restriction #195.

As a server owner, I've noticed that certain ways of rebooting a server often result in vehicles being removed entirely. We actually had to reboot twice, and the vehicles came back - albeit with no fuel, but.. perhaps the server in question did not restart properly. Either that, or it was found by somebody else.

I know, how DARE he try to make money making products for others! The *AUDACITY*! Anybody here who claims they wouldn't chase after a pile of money by doing something with their creation is a LIAR. No, shut up, you're wrong and you cannot tell me otherwise until you're in a position just like his and actually opt out of a potential money making decision. Besides, it's not like it won't be on the PC as well. Games like this are made for PC. If he wants to throw console users a bone, what do you care? Is it going to ruin *YOUR* PC experience? Do you honestly think you're going to lose anything by having it available on console too? Personally, I'd really like the ability to play with console users just because I know I have the better controls and have an advantage. Not to mention, I'm pretty sure it's more difficult to cheat on a console, so the ratio of cheaters to regular players is more favorable. Like wtf. I don't like or own any consoles myself but am mystified at this immense amount of rage they've earned for what is really no effect on the people that have said rage.

Personally, I don't consider it all that bad to raid a hack camp and take back items lost by dying to hacks. Which is mostly what I do. Most people are just into destroying the things, which is mainly just supposed to annoy the hell out of the creator of said things. You know, since they annoy others. It's the only way to get back at them, really. Even if they can spawn it back in later, it's time, effort.. and the difficulty of picking a decent spot. Obviously where they were before is no longer viable. Good luck finding something just as accessible, yet remote! Even better if they are unable to spawn it in anymore due to recent updates, and what they lost is irreplaceable, or if they try and get their key banned. I have no remorse for any difficulty incurred upon them, as they incur much more difficulty upon others. And that's the point, really. Keep 'em coming.

- 0:47. RELEVENT.

Oh. For those concerned, the camp/server owner bandit that I assume was protecting his stash and shut down the server upon his death was named "Frissy."

Tbh, it was a disappointing stash. DMRs, FALs, AS50's of various sorts. And a lot of hacked ammunition for hacked guns that weren't there. No tools, coyote packs or other things. Surprisingly large amount of Makarovs. I was hoping for Satchel Charges, NVGs, GPSs, Camping Tents, maybe a Radio..

> Log into camp. > See bandit sitting in tree near camp with MK 48. > Kill bandit. Evidently he was sleeping on the job. > Suddenly server shut down. Methinks I may have hit a nerve. Or juglar.

Often times, hacker deaths are caused by being shot by them. ie: Teleport behind you, shoots. I would imagine that counts in the above statistics. Thereby leaving only "thunder dome" hacks. Orrr.. run over by car hacks. Assuming that, 71% seems astonishing. I mean I know I died a few times to zombies as a noob, but .. da-yum. Either thunder dome is more prevalent then previously imagined, or.. I don't even know. You also left out helicopter shootings.

The average person is now a zombie. Anybody still alive is likely not the "average" person. Just sayin'.

I have seen the green crates blown up via lots of bullets. I have seen the medical boxes disappear via satchel charges. Since they apparently have lots of both inside, go nuts. It'll go away eventually.

Weeeeeeeeeeeell, Server 3044 - there is an ATV on the road in between Cherno and Prigo. There is also a bus south of Dubrovka. But it lacks fuel... Both are repaired minus engine parts. As the owner of the heli and the V3, I don't particularly need them. I have no idea where the military offroad or any jeep are, but I have not seem them on the far edges of the map (and neither is my chopper! :o ) I promise I am not saying this as a setup to shoot you! :(

This is beautiful..
