ImpulZ 2491 Posted August 20, 2019 Hello Survivors, Since we released the private servers, we witnessed a huge amount of players shifting from the public servers to the private ones (we are talking about several thousands of pre-ordered private servers alone). This shift obviously reflects on the experience on the public servers, with servers being more empty in general. To compensate for this, in one week from now, we will shut down 140 public PS4 servers, to concentrate the player-base more on the remaining servers. We understand this change will cause problems for many players out there while moving their bases over to other servers (as you can switch between all public servers and you will be able to keep your character). We apologize for the inconvenience. That said, we assure you, that we will always provide sufficient server capacities for all of our players. All affected servers will be changed in their name to "Persistence OFF" to signal the upcoming change.

Arthasian 1 Posted August 20, 2019 Great i can start over again Why not wipe everything again.... Fun game but you guys know how to ruin it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zimon77 0 Posted August 20, 2019 Yeah hundred hours of farm, loot, construction for nothing ! Will you do this every month? Thanks for ruining your own game by yourself. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Arthasian 1 Posted August 20, 2019 I guess they will thats what happened since i started playing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Arthasian 1 Posted August 20, 2019 Yeah we can change server Spawned somewhere else tho so thats out of the question The one time i tried moving servers i was spawned on a fully kitted player But np ill take all base supllies hop server get killed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trapphone 17 Posted August 20, 2019 That's a crazy amount of servers, imo you should of waited for the next update and just wipe everything and take the servers down at the same time Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blades56 29 Posted August 20, 2019 ImpulZ do u not think alot of servers are empty because of the terrible update rendering and that they are just waiting for the fix before they come back? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BWater2727 2 Posted August 20, 2019 You know I was pumped to see this game brought to consoles as I played on and off for years on the PC. I have to say I was impressed as it had been a while since I played, also impressed with the interest in the game. Unfortunately you idiots are going to kill this game and that sucks! Why would you not wait for the second month to see how many servers will not be renewed? Why would you keep working on updates instead of fixing the the huge issues you already have? You need to hire someone with some common sense to work for you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

According to this post and several other posts here in this forum, you'll get "several thousands" of locked 10 slot community servers. Aren't you happy!?

Kdkjdjd 0 Posted August 20, 2019 Maybe you wipe every hour all servers. Players build bases on this servers and now because there are not enough players because most of them go to private servers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oDesigns 5 Posted August 20, 2019 How are we going to move? All the hard work we put into building our base now we have to even more hard work just moving because when we try move our shit to a different server we are just going to be at spawn. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Arthasian 1 Posted August 20, 2019 You removing the different spawn when you hop servers this week? And to hop server with a car or do we leave that aswell?... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Some_Random_Guy 4 Posted August 20, 2019 (edited) @ImpulZ This seems like a hugely miscalculated decision. I usually just read comments but felt the need to create an account to voice my opinion this time. The majority of private servers rented are 10 slot servers that are password protected and will most likely have a lifespan of 1-3 months as the players will get bored. I fully understand the need to repurpose existing servers to make it easier to get the remaining preordered private servers up and running and compensate for the massive shift in the playerbase but this is a drastic number you've settled on. As others have stated numerous players are waiting for the next update. You know the majority of the playerbase was server hopping to avoid the night cycle, you added the penalty for server hopping and introduced broken night vision goggles. You just wiped all the servers with the last update so I'd imagine numerous people feel the same way I do and are hesitant to invest time in base building until you release 1.05 just in case you guys do another wipe (your track history does not help this scenario). The biggest point though, is that while you did all that you also introduced the private servers and gave admins the ability to adjust the day/night cycle. I would wager that a lot of the players the official servers have lost are waiting for the 1.05/nvg fix. That being said I understand needing to repurpose existing servers, though the server hopping penalty you introduced essentially makes server transferring your base completely impractical not to mention ridiculously time consuming. Love this game but this seems like a half baked idea. Edited August 21, 2019 by Some_Random_Guy Grammar. It's early. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DieAnotherDayZ 7 Posted August 20, 2019 (edited) @ImpulZ As everyone else has stated, this is crazy. We have all spent a ton of time building up resources again. My friend and I alone have already spent hundreds of hours since 1.04 building a base and stocking it full of supplies/guns/cars. Now I'm not necessarily upset, but what is your supposed suggestion? I'm in favor of the server hopping/spawn away feature in general... but it'll absolutely prevent the mass of us wanting to take our bases down and move them servers. Let's be real, you can't server swap a car... or even the parts for a car, or multiple tents, or barrels/generators, metal panels, etc... and safely make it across an entire map. It's asking your player base to literally dump another hundred hours in to just transport supplies from one server to another... just to recreate what is already made. AND doing so literally a couple weeks after a complete server wipe/reset. It's rubbing salt in the wounds. Is there a possibility to cancel the server hop/spawn away feature off for the week? It'll enable us to make the transition without a massive pain. Edited August 20, 2019 by DieAnotherDayZ Tagging 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We at least need to be able to server hop our stuff without the BFE spawn point penalty for the week. That's the least they can do. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why would they have persistance on the servers if they intended you to start fresh every time you got on? It's an open world sandbox game, the entire premise is each player gets to decide how they spend their time so it's not up to you to decide the right and wrong way to play. It's not amatter of gearing up again as you're right it's not hard to find supplies. Actually read the comments fully and you'd see the majority of players are upset by the ridiculous amount of time it would take to move their "base" due to the server hopping penalty and lack of carry capacity.

The only time you start fresh is when you die.. this might actually help a lot of people as they hop and move things current items at max on servers will begin to spawn again. No doubt that hording has limited item availability. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anzu 2 Posted August 20, 2019 This is a ridiculously stupid, short-sighted decision. I can't believe you would suggest people move their bases to a new server after you've just implemented a system that punishes people for hopping servers by moving them far away, sometimes back to the coast. Luckily, the server I play on is not in that list, but I am still seriously disturbed by the Dev's decision here. I've been a long-time BI supporter and own almost all their games, but this stupid shit has got to stop, otherwise I cannot continue to support Devs that don't listen to their players. It really seems like you guys just do whatever you want with the game, regardless of the feedback or complaints you receive from the playerbase. Think about this long and hard before you make a rash decision. And if this is just to save money, as I know servers can be expensive, then just say so. The private servers are a joke, like someone above said they are mostly 10slots and most of them empty or private. I am staying away from the private servers personally because I dont like the idea that all my shit is on one server that I can't move from, and if that server disappears or the owner decides to stop paying for it, then all my shits gone with it. That's just my 2cents. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AndrzejHook 78 Posted August 20, 2019 Wow the dumbest response from developers of Dayz. You guys are literally telling people to server hop now even tho you put in those restrictions? Do you guys really care about your players? The private servers suck...You guys added way too many and there should have NEVER been such thing as 10 slot server... it should have been 40, 60, or 100 I'm glad that im not affected by it because I don't play on those servers but damn. I would lose my shit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anthony D 0 Posted August 20, 2019 Thank you very much(sarcasm)..... well 2 of the servers I play on are being removed mind you 9191 and 9290 are two of the servers I found that I didn't lag on I hope you repurpose some of the servers for us people in Australia would be nice Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
