Thought server hopping was bad!? It gets worse.

[sobieski12 835]

Just read this on the DayZ steam forums.

* Another reason to remove the public hive and bring in isolated servers.

- If there is a way to exploit , people will always do it.

Depending on the host company, if you lock the server you get 3 strikes then it becomes disabled.

[Kipale 78]

Haha just sad if you have to buy server to get gear.

Does this apply to every server company or a selected few?

 

I remember the days when server companies would blacklist certain servers, but not all care.

Public hive

 

is horrible

 

Private hives 24/7| max loot| 100000000 vehicles| slef blood bag| never die 

 

is worse

I never said I wanted a private hive. 

 

I just want an isolated server.

* The private servers once did play the classic mod, before all the 20k car 200 barracks buildings etcetc

And lets not forget admins and admins friends.

 

Public hives in my opinion just needs like 15 minutes lock, on switching/re-joining server, after logging on.

[Merrick362 (DayZ) 263]

Wat.

It takes like an hour to get geared up. Even on full server that have been up for hours i can ALWAYS get one of the two rifles and ammo inside of an hour. Always.

Let them burn money, DayZ servers are expensive as fuck at the moment, and it gives them zero advantage.

ARMA 3 Breaking Point already has a 5 min timer between servers. 

* That does not stop people from ghosting / server hopping.

 

But the player honestly still has the obvious choice, should you run for 30+ minutes to get military gear, or wait 5 - 15 min in server hopping. Not to mention the chance to sneak up on geared players and no need to travel to find military loot.

You got the point.

 

So only viable solution would be server bound character it seems.

You are complaining about american/european admins because you probably never saw a Brazillian administrator/private hive.

 

It's like    24/7 daylight - Noclip - 6549844 cars - custom loadout(AS50 + infinite ammo) - no zombies

You people are incredible.

 

Where did I comment that I wanted a private hive. The only thing I'd want is a isolated server, there is a difference between a hive and a server.

 

Edit : Seems I took the troll bait.

There's so little loot in the game at this point that I honestly don't understand why people need to server hop, nevermind this...

Some people play in a survival type fashion.

 

Others treat it like a deathmatch mode.

[Michaelvoodoo25 3120]

Just spawn players 500m from their last known location. Make em work for loot like the rest of us.

We should have a timer as in the mod with additional features like. Player jumps to another server and waits, meanwhile character apperas in game before player gets control and then gets raped by a goat and all kit gone.

Watch it stop.

And no loot respawn...

It 8mins in Breaking Point.

So if you hop to another server you wait 8 mins,if you hop back to the server you where on, 8mins.16mins for a sever hop and back.

And all loot despawns when you log in each time and then you will have to wait 10mins for the loot to spawn again.

 

Sever hopping in Breaking Point takes a hour gear up.Its far quicker to run to the loot locations

[supermarco 64]

Just respawn on the coast every time you connect to a different server and this will be resolve for good ! ...

Private hives are awesome they get rid of so many of the problems in dayz .

 

Combat logging

Ghosting

Loot server hopping.

 

All solved with each server retaining its own player database.

[Mos1ey 6301]

And no loot respawn...

 

What I meant is that there aren't very many different items.

 

I started a new character last night and I've got pretty much everything other than a compass and handgun mags after a few hours of play.

Problem about private hives is that it gives too much freedom to the admins.

* Such as the 20,000 vehicles , 200 barracks , 1,000 helicopters , 24/7 day

 

If Isolated servers where to be introduced. Rocket could keep the system he wants and it would remove the, ghosting and loot server hopping.  

* Isolated servers would not grant admins to change the server settings. 

 

Not to mention this would discourage clan only servers, but if admins have the ability to restart. They will abuse it for sure to gain an advantage in gear.
