Annoying server resets...

Recommended Posts

God, i can not wait for the day when server resets become a thing of the past.we have all been there. Just found a rare item and the server resets, or you just died, and were running back to your body, and the server resets.

Today, i got KOSed in berezino, spawned at the factory, got within 200 meters of my body, and the server reset. So my question to the world is what is your most aggrivating expirence with server resets?

Find a server that announces restart times.

If all players did the same, Server Admins and /or GSP's might re-think their policy concerning this unacceptable situation.

Or you could stay off servers that don't let admins do those sorts of things yet.  Or you could look at what time the server is at when you join and get a feel for the start time after a reset.  Most will reset after 4 hours anyway.  Below is from Gameservers.com;

 

DayZ Standalone Servers - Alpha Version
Please note: These are DayZ Standalone servers with current admin ability limited to kicking users and changing the server description. For more information about the game's development cycle and upcoming features, please visit: www.dayzgame.com
 
The only thing I can control is what time the servers restarts daily and what time it is in game.  I can add messages but not one that accurately warns of a reset at this point.
 
I feel you though, Just when I was switching backpacks and moving gear between them I got caught in a reset.  Lost a bunch of good stuff too and that was on my own server....

Do all servers start at midday when they reset?

Mine starts at midnight, it seems to me though that most start at 1500

See the banner below, Aloha is for Tourists, and for the record, anyone on there named "admin" or "owner" is a big fat liar.  Also "Barnabus" is NOT my name in game, so anyone using that name is also not the owner or the admin.  It is not a clan server, I pay for it on my own and I am the sole owner and admin period.

It's annoying for a player that some GSP's do not give Admins access to BEC for server restart messages.

 

Mine does but in saying that, even though we have server messaging it does get thrown off when the server crashes. So server crashes are another annoyance to deal with.

 

What the server reset time is also depends on the GSP, some you can set it, others you cannot. It would be nice if GSP's could give the same basic features across the board.

 

Basic external RCon would be nice as well.
