The servers restart so often...

[t1337dude 101]

...I was convinced that a server would restart while doing something important like transferring vital loot from one backpack to another. Alas, I was playing earlier on a long-lasting character, got into a gun battle and lost, and I sat there while unconscious for a good minute. Next thing I know, the server loses connection, I join another, and my character is perfectly fine. Hallelujah, right?  :D

 

 Has the servers constant restarting habit saved anyone's life? How about ruined anyone's?

They've saved many dozens of hapless victims I've engaged in the last few days. I put down three guys with the Mosin from ~500m only to wonder why the third guy kept sliding down the airfield. The server had reset like five minutes before. I was pissed. >:[

Do server not say anymore when they've been reset? I noticed lately I've been running around for minutes until I realize that I can't pick up lot or use any weapon hotkeys, which means I need to change servers  :o

Why were you pissed? You hit your targets, they went down. Reason enough to be proud of your marksmanship. Do you only gain pleasure from your kills if you can believe that someone elsewhere in the world is raging over the fact that you killed them? It's not like there's a leaderboard or anything and doubt you were head out to the middle of an airfield to loot the bodies so why be pissed? You didn't miss out on anything.

So many...so..many... lost fish fillets in so many fireplace kits :(

Non-persistent servers :

In the late evening the servers usually (I mean OFTEN)  reset as soon as the admin and his (1 or 2) mates can't find the loot they want at NWAF

3 guys all want mags for their guns, and the right guns and bits, so work out the time to search and  that's how often the server resets

 

Tell me I'm wrong

 

Also if you shoot one of them they'll reset, natch .. and bottom line, they might just reset when they see you come on line, to make sure you know what's what (this is a private loot farm, naff off).

I set my server search to "public" to make sure that word is still in the title, and avoid anything that claims to be a clan or private.. these I'm taking about are just the standard list servers.

 

Early morning is the server hoppers

Late evening is the admin loot farmers

 

Some of the serious high-pop servers give good restart warnings - THANX for that, you Dudes

 

Persistent servers: I still haven't worked out what's going on yet ..  MAINLY seems to be nothing there, but then sometimes some really odd stuff turns up in crazy places. (??)

I played on the BOM server tonight and it restarted four or five times during an hour and a half. It made for an interesting battle as a geared guy spawned in front of me after a restart. I had him running good til his friend showed up. And hitting a guy three times with a fireaxe seems to only kill me, nobody else.

Yep - Grimey 'KOS noobert ' Rick - that's what we all used to call him. But when he says 500m, you do realise he's got the gun backwards over his shoulder and he's just aiming from the reflection in a piece of broken shop window.

 

I seen him fire one shot round two corners AND bounce the bullet under a wrecked car, and he headshot two guys at the same time at the second floor window who weren't even standing in line with each other

and that's BEFORE he got mad...

 

If they ever put black greaspaint in this game, dont EVER go out at night, ... he'll be right behind you ALL blacked up with NO clothes on - and just the edge of his favorite shaving machete to make that air-cutting sound you never have the time to wonder about ...

I wish they would add that countdown timer like they had in the mod.

I'm absolutely positive you're right.

 

I'm almost afraid to ask that but why are the dev's not enforcing the rules they put up for servers AT ALL? It's Alpha blabla but it is THOSE kind of servers/players/admins that ruin the (Alpha-)experience for everybody else and I hate that they go to bed with the feeling that they got something clever and cool going on when they should be forbidden to run a server at all.

As soon as private hives hit, the dev's will have shipped around enforcing server hosting rules for good....

 

And by "enforcing" I mean as simple as removing the servers that are called join=kick, clan only or simply are NOT named according the the conventions they put up...

It's funny, the GSP's themselves can see their own database yet they won't abide by their own rules unless someone else says something. :rolleyes:
