solus84 19 Posted May 17, 2012 Being new to this game, I am sorry if this is already in place. But are there any announcements to server status or planned downtime? If not it would be great to have. And also thank you for this great MOD, Best game I've played in years! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jonaswashe 7 Posted May 17, 2012 From the DayZ Dev Twitter Account:Try another server. We had security issues so main system rebooted. So some server admins haven't caught up. Try another server :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bandit (DayZ) 3 Posted May 17, 2012 The servers are being worked on at the back end right now. Be patient and all will be well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

solus84 19 Posted May 17, 2012 Is there a server status page or announcement for Downtime though? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jonaswashe 7 Posted May 17, 2012 There is no Server Status page.Best thing I can point you to is the Dev Twitter, which as previously stated was last updated 7 hours ago:http://twitter.com/#!/dayzdevteamRocket never expected the servers to go above 600 people on at the same time and the servers have recently peaked at 5000 users connected at once. He is currently investing all his dev time on handling server population. I should also add he works for Bohemia, the creators of Arma 2 as his day job and does this mostly in his spare time. This is a free mod in alpha, not a subscription based mmo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So they are trying to make money off this. Which I don't have a complaint about, but really server/game update page is basic.. Along with not constantly swearing at your (ALPHA) testers/players. Obviously the game is popular and obviously, they want to make money on this So treat it as such.. A business. Start to integrate Customer service aspect to the MOD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

solus84 19 Posted May 17, 2012 You Sir have to calm down. Its Alpha...do you except a 24/7 working game in alpha state? Srsly...Me? If so I am calm, very much so. I stated basic suggestions to help this MOD. Don't take me the wrong way. Like I said this is the best game I have played in years! But if you plan on marketing it, do so like a business if you plan on selling it.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

drewmaw 56 Posted May 17, 2012 We all agree that it's Alpha, but a Dev should have communicated the problems we're experiencing, and what they're doing to fix it? Otherwise, we're sitting here twiddling our thumbs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oilman 72 Posted May 17, 2012 Actually, no, that's not what a dev should do. A dev should work on fixing the problem, not focus on how the community feels.That's also a paid dev. A dev doing work out of his free time can snort coke off his keyboard and there'd be no justification for complaining. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
