MissBehave 37 Posted January 12, 2013 (edited) Recently I saw a post on the forums where a DayZ staff member was telling others to play on private servers as there is no real CS team any longer. If that is the case, then please let the public server admins whitelist our public servers if we wish to. The hacking is really going beyond ridiculous. If you can't support the public server admins with CS then at least cut us loose so we can protect our servers and our players. I don't need special maps. I don't need loadouts or spawning crap. I just want to play DayZ and not have to log out every 10 minutes to deal with some doosh scripter; then spend hours each day documenting and reporting on the community ban lis,t and not see much happen really to these people.Everyone was holding on for the standalone. Now that is now delayed, let us please make our lives easier and protect our public servers while still being connected to the hive. With a long wait and now the message of no CS, we are just fending for ourselves. We are already fending for ourselves with the community ban list and praying battleeye catches someone.Dwarden, I thank you for your filters, at least that gives me some ways to cope. But I have, at times, several scripters show up each hour (sometimes some every few minutes) and it doesn't seem to be getting easier. If y'all aren't going to beef it up, then let the public servers have some hope other than shutting down our servers altogether. Asking us to do this for an undefined time, waiting for a game that may be a ways out, is a bit cruel.Thanks for your time.

NonovUrbizniz (DayZ) 137 Posted January 12, 2013 ugh, I run a public hive and have essentially given up my right to play in order to keep hackers in check. I basically just sit and watch the logs looking for any suspicious activity, or watch BERcon for mass log outs...Oh and FYI you can PW protect it w/o getting much guff from anywhere, I haven't ever but one of the guys I gave admin rights when I went away over the holidays PW locked out server for essentially the whole time I was gone because someone was hacking...I wasn't happy about it and unlocked it as soon as I heard, but it was PW protected for over 5 days and I nor gameservers.com ever got any notice from DayZ and PW lock is against the hosting rules..While this is not a cheap manor of policing, and frankly it sickens me that admins have to put themselves at risk like this, but you can always find out WHAT map tools and hacks the baddies are using and run some counter ops on your server...IMO the only solution to this problem is to allow active admins to hack on their own public servers... and ONLY THEIR OWN PUBLIC SERVERS... it SHOULD be pretty easy for them to modify existing hacks so they're tagged and then distribute them to admins on public servers with their instance ID tied to the program, so they can't distribute it... and if they use it on another server it will be detected... now THAT would be the proper solution IMO...You get to keep the open public servers, but you give the admins the tools to deal with hackers, detect them early, and rectify any destruction they've caused...But I think expecting any answers or action out of them at this point is hopeful and kind of pretentious... I've learned to deal with adminning an open server, it sucks and means I can barely play the game anymore, but at least I can keep the people on my server SEMI safe and assist them if there is a major attack where they wrongfully lose their kit.Other than teleporting though (running 9k is not fun ever) I don't really get the point of hacking, it spoils ALL the fun of the game, who wants to know where people are? That is literally what makes the game fun, being CONSTANTLY paranoid that here is someone around the corner watching waiting to shoot you or friend up who knows... And the risks of rebuilding vehicles, hunting for loot etc... It's no fun when you can insta heal, or repair cars, or spawn items... all that stuff is there pretty much and if it's not you're getting logged in the pubvariable log anyway so what's the point??just some rambling opinions Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
