A bad day on DayZ

[JKS-Alex 79]

Today cause some trouble on my dsl line i've tried to play in a low populated server just to move a bit my char in order to meet my team mates tonight, as you know if your line speed isn't fast (mine today was blocked at 1 mbs) you will get yellow or red chain every time you in range of another player making you unable to do anything, so i've started dayz and i've ordered the server list for n° of players from the lowest and tried to join on a server with max 2/3 players. Well i've tried to join something like 15 servers avoiding the loads of "test server" and "join = kick" that are in the list in despite of the server rules but the result was always the same: few seconds then a Kick, and every time 300 sec to login again in another server just to be kicked again (and again and again and again), practically i've spent 1 hour trying to find a server where to play in vain..

While i was joining for the umpteenth time a server a simple question passed in my mind: "do we really need to report every server when you just need to order the server list as i've done to find at 99% just loot farms and remove them once for all?" Bah.. by the way after the last try where i was kicked after 10 min of play together with other 10 players i've postponed my dayz session..  :(

 

Then Tonight i've used to play my mobile connection (6 mb) and all was fine, we've joined like always on a well known server with a good population (like 20/40 people) to avoid mass lag and that annoying "fake noise" problem, when we've reached the airfield the server has made a lucky reboot so we've started exploring the area with the usual extreme prudence.

I was on the fire station tower as sniper and my team mates where on the ground exploring the hangars, while another well equipped squad of 3 guys has started exploring the same area. to protect my 2 team mates i've shooted and killed one of them, then immediately the server has been stopped, (was about 20 min after the previous reboot) when we've rejoined we've noticed the usual rollback, my team mates that where on the last hangar where been placed two hangars earlier, but the worst thing was that the squad we've seen few minutes before was now near the airfield borders, with the dead guy now alive and clearly knowing exactly my position so i was an easy kill separated from my squad and now without the surprise advantage .. So was that a "tactical reboot" by the server owner? Is that possible?

 

Not much to say.. just a shitty day on dayz but now i understand why peoples are complaining so much about violations in server use, and now i must agree with them that this kind of problems need to be solved asap like others major bugs actually in the game cause this kind of problems are really more annoying then anything else.  :(

I feel your pain.  Server reboots and crappy admins suck.

 

What I do to avoid this, is favorite all the servers I like, and try to only play on those servers.  This way, it's easier to avoid servers with crappy admins and such.  Try finding and favoriting some good servers where you do not have to deal with such hassels.  That's the only advice I could give.  I hope your future adventures are better!
