Grey2ham 1 Posted May 8, 2012 EU-7 Was restarted after 1.5.6 and was working fine (seemingly). Then the server was restarted a second time and locked. I got in before the lock and was kicked while in the briefing screen.I struggle to believe it didn't initialize properly the first time.I'm suspicious because 6 people are on a locked server, and when it was locked there were only 10 or so, and I was admin kicked. Nothing in chat. Just kicked for joining the server.The players were Dorak (admin), Eystein, Khalimerot, Konoro, Tiri, and TotoOoOoOoIf it's done for testing I can understand, but it has been 10 minutes. How are the other servers doing? They all seem to be up, with the exception of NY.the server was locked at 22:46 UK time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

acebane 268 Posted May 8, 2012 Hey, I was on that server too! Dorak isn't necessarily the nicest guy as I can remember (had a disagreement earlier with him), although locking the server when I have my tent/valuables there is not acceptable. Especially if it's not for testing purposes. I can understand if Rocket was in there too, but it looks to be just Dorak and his buddies.It's been locked for approximately 15 minutes or so now and the same individuals that he didn't kick are still in there with him probably scavenging airfield. I'm pretty sure he forced the restart on his own and then started kicking people when they tried to enter, me included. Above is a screenshot of the server being locked as proof of the event and if you click on it and zoom in, you can see the names clearly there: Dorak, Eystein, Khalimerot, Konoro, Tiri, Toto0o0o0o.

Grey2ham 1 Posted May 8, 2012 So its been locked for 30 mins. Going to bed now, hopefully sorted soon! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
drakenof 9 Posted May 8, 2012 Yup, server locked.We are testing out persistence of vehicles and multi-tents on 1.5.6 for about 2 hours.Not happy ? Too bad bro, we are paying and furnishing you a place to play DayZ FOR FREE without anything in exchange, the server was accessible / up and running for the entire day, now we're locking it for 2 hours. They're plenty of servers out there, go play on them, and stop your dramas. Won't lead to anything. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tajin 17 Posted May 8, 2012 Oh and while your testing you're getting yourselves some nice vehicles and weapons ? Great!Things get tested anyway, no need to lock anything, especially not in a mod where locking servers is clearly frowned upon. (for obvious reasons - its cheating)Not to mention that there was not even a single word of warning before the restart happend.It sure is nice that you host that server, but you seem to forget that this server shares a databaseconnection with all other servers and hence has to play by the rules, just like all other servers!

drakenof 9 Posted May 8, 2012 I was maybe a bit too rough with my last message.We are currently testing multi-tents, i can't test that alone like i've done with prefious tests, so yeah, we are 6. Also we're testing vehicles, our goal is trying to see if they're now persistent, static and moving. That was for the " what the fuck are they doing part ".Now for the " when unlock " part, in approx 2 hours. Takes time to actually find a vehicle, repair it, and shit like that.

Grey2ham 1 Posted May 8, 2012 True.Also you can't " lock " a server and make it pw protected' date=' it doesn't work like that and locked DayZ server are not accepted. You can cheat too easily since there's a SINGLE database. So if you can't afford a server, don't buy one. The only reserved slot a server should have is one for the admin and that's about it.[/quote']Changed your opinion in the last 48 hours? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You're just players CLAIMING to test things that aren't even FOR the developer team. You can test vehicles with a full server just as well, in fact you can test it BETTER with multiple people finding cars all over.My "DRAMA" is concern for the quality of admins on servers. Sure there are OTHER servers out there - I guess I made the mistake picking one(placing my tent/items) with a dishonest admin. I would hope Day Z Mod team wouldn't allow children to be admins who lock their server for "special testing lolz". I'm sure you're trying to defend your friend's honor etc etc but at the end of the day, there's no reason once so ever to lock the server to do "special testing" without the permission of Rocket/Dev Team to do so. I'm pretty sure he doesn't like admins locking the server. Judging by your post Gabriel, your ultimate attitude is that you're unhappy with someone reporting Dorak's locking of the server. You can try as much as you can to "get me off your back", but you and I both know there should never be locking of the server. Whenever there is an occurrence like this, I'll report it unless I see Rocket himself on the server.Claiming you're "FURNISHING A PLACE TO PLAY FOR FREE", congrats on having money to spend on a server. But don't you ever plan on using that as an excuse to lock the server. That's pure retardation, hence why Rocket doesn't allow people to play this in a single player sort of way. I say unlock the server before you make this worse for yourselves.For whatever you guys are really doing "TESTING", I could careless if you all got GPS and NVGs out of the locked server, I'm just unhappy because my tent/items are on that server and you're locking it for no real reason. Man up and play the game it was meant to be played, with risk - not being carefree with a locked server. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

drakenof 9 Posted May 8, 2012 What opinion ? My opinion on the reserved slots are always the same : one slot for admin. That's the case on EU7.For the " lock it's not a permanent password lock, but a lock for testing purposes of 2 hours only. So quote as you wish son, absolutely no fucks given. I swear.

eystein 1 Posted May 8, 2012 Hi,Sorry for the inconvenience, we just are a groupe of mumble guy really interested to test some features to avoid mistakes. (car ? heli ? how this things are working etc.)At the moment don't worry we didn't suceed to make any vehicule working :D so we not gonna be GODMOD but LOOSEMOD. héhé.Maybe the method was not right, like kicking without any polite sentence, please be sure that's not a intotionnal to be rude, we just made it, and we will try to avoid this kind of stuff.The serv was open all day, and we decided to lock it for 1 or 2 hour just to test some features. Be sure that the serv will be reopen in few minutes.Sorry again, a be sure if this happen again, we will try to warn people couple of hours before. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
