stickypow 0 Posted July 18, 2012 (edited) SPQG_Juba, The server has fairly regular restart times. I know there's usually one in the morning and one at around 9 cst...it changes but there is a warning...10 minutes, 5, 2, and 1.HowIChrgeLazer, It seems we can't stop items from duping. What we're doing is unloading our inventory to a tent or a vehicle and then we'll log out or whatever for the night...the next time we log in it will still be in our inventory as well as whatever vehicle/tent we put it in. We are not trying to do this intentionally and in fact we found a GAZ that people had been using to dupe items (they were also disconnectors...) so we destroyed the GAZ so it can't be used for duping anymore. Our items often duplicate as well and the plan is to disperse some of the duplicates...any ideas why this keeps occurring?

You not only decided that other people were solely using a vehicle for duping (which you probably 'acquired' gear from yourself) but destroyed the vehicle? Yet, you yourself are saying that you can't stop the process from happening, which is currently correct for all as there are higher priorities for the programmers (hackers for example) so why don't you destroy your own equipment/duping means? :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stickypow 0 Posted July 18, 2012 (edited) It's hard to give up a Ural... we don't place tents anymore. We were already geared up from players we killed when they attacked our camp a week or so ago. I know we should just get rid of the truck...but come on...not very often you get one. I'd be cool if they reset all vehicles to spawn locations though. Like I said, we are not intentionally duping anything and most items that have duped were left in whatever vehicle they were in. I don't care about duping items...it takes fun away from the game. We just want the stupid Ural. I get what you're saying though. The only thing I see as a positive way to use this is to go and distribute gear randomly along the coast.Edit: Another reason we destroyed the GAZ...it was red (stands out)...and goes slow as balls. We weren't going to use it and we knew the people we took it from were disconnectors...screw em'. Edited July 18, 2012 by stickypow Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
01ludedude 6 Posted July 18, 2012 It's hard to give up a Ural... we don't place tents anymore.Just giving you a hard time. I myself have taken out a few camps that were clearly used for duping. It'll be nice when this all goes non-beta and all are servers a wiped clean and everyone starts fresh (the way it SHOULD be at that time). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lyncher 18 Posted July 18, 2012 Hello everyone, first time post and I have beein playin DayZ for a week now. I have enjoyed US 10 Chicago a great deal but the last update (arama beta and battleye) cacked so I went back to the last beta. I will attempt to get it up and goin soon.The main reason i am posting here is too see if there are any regulars that could use an extra gun. I play evening usually and I play from GMT -4. I am sick of trying to be friendly to everyone just too have them snipe me ASAP.I have zero experience with veichels so far but I know the map pretty good for only being on for a week. So if anyone wants to have some fun let me know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
howichrgelazer 69 Posted July 18, 2012 (edited) How many times a day the server restarts? what times? and is there a warning before the server does so?cheersWe reboot servers 5-6 hours a day and as sticky said we give warnings 10, 5, 2, and 1 minute(s) in advance. :)Just giving you a hard time. I myself have taken out a few camps that were clearly used for duping. It'll be nice when this all goes non-beta and all are servers a wiped clean and everyone starts fresh (the way it SHOULD be at that time).Ander does a pretty good job at wiping old tents and items like barbed wire and sand bags. But yeah, a complete reset would be nice at some point down the road.Hello everyone, first time post and I have beein playin DayZ for a week now.

I manually removed and tried the manual files, when that failed I tried the uninstaller and the self installer, both with no luck. Essentially I just haven't had time to mess with it. When I get home I just want to get goin and I wasted 30+ mins the first time I tried getting 94997 goin so I just moved back and that took 2 mins to get goin. Lazy I know but I will try everything again the next time I go to play. Thanks for the response. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
howichrgelazer 69 Posted July 18, 2012 (edited) The newest beta also has BE packaged with it (as did 95054), so that will probably solve your headaches too. I'd recommend installing 95099 once BE supports it.

howichrgelazer 69 Posted July 19, 2012 (edited) So I'm debating what I should do with US 870 ruleset wise. We already shifted it 12 hours so you can play during the day when it's night in Chicago, but I'm not sure if there should be any additional changes to it compared to US 10.We were discussing the possibility of enabling 3rd person, but it seems like many people are against that. Thoughts? Should even the time be different from US 10? Edited July 19, 2012 by HowIChrgeLazer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Neon Machete 5 Posted July 19, 2012 I wouldn't be against having third person on US 870. It would definitively help driving vehicles but not really a big deal. I also appreciate the fact that you made it an inverse timezone from US 10 since playing at night can be a bummer for those on eastern time.Also thanks for all your hard work with the servers always being up to date and smooth as butter. My friends and I stumbled upon US 10 in the first couple weeks of dayz and have not looked back since. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lyncher 18 Posted July 19, 2012 The offset idea is cool. Gives options to your fan base. #rd person should not exist if your playinh vetran/hardcore. Its only use is looking over and around things with out exposing yourself. Kinda cheap and weird. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RickyBooby4 0 Posted July 19, 2012 I like the inverted time deal and am not a big fan of 3rd person (in this game) myself. The 1st person makes me work for my money and puts EVERYONE on a fair playing field. Keep it up - love the server! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
howichrgelazer 69 Posted July 20, 2012 Sounds like we'll lock it to the same difficulty as US 10 and keep the time difference. Thanks for the input everyone. You're helping shape the future of DayZ for this community. :thumbsup: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lyncher 18 Posted July 20, 2012 Updated and working fine. Was forced to take my first life :(. I dodged several clips of assault rifle fire and actually got away without firing a round. I found a DMR and ran into who I assume was the same guy. It was over quick, one too the head and then no more guy with assault rifle. I wish there was less shoot first and ask questions later, but it sure does make the game tense as hell.Too anyone playing on the US 10 sever PM me and maybe the next time I say friendly you will know I mean it lol.

howichrgelazer 69 Posted July 20, 2012 (edited) US 870 will be down for a few minutes while I change some settings and get the ports unstuck. It's not coming back up on the default, so I have to do a little more work.EDIT: It's back up. Sorry for the short delay.

Sorry for the short delay.So, I play on a few servers where vehicles coming back after a restart is a problem... Woke up this morning to the same (two vehicles gone). They were placed in remote locations and well hidden (one of which is a very small vehicle and pretty much impossible to spot ;) ) so I know both of them couldn't have been stumbled across since logging out last night (us 10). When would a next restart take place so I can get back in and enjoy the fruit of my labor?Thanks for any info you can provide.If only each server had a unique character so I could wander around elsewhere (say, us 870 ;) ) while I await a restart on 10.

01ludedude 6 Posted July 22, 2012 (edited) 870's current lag is outstanding. Everyone shows great ping but server map is currently non-playable...Must've been temporary, all good now... Strange as it loaded perfectly fine then would just crawl along like something was happening in game causing such a slow down.Ah well, cheating/duping/something is possible I guess.Fine now though...
