LU70 Possible Admin Abuse?

[NoRegrets 495]

Hi,

me and my friend joined LU70 and when we did wie suddenly got knocked out out of nowhere ... We should have spawned right next to each other ... in a forrest.

How is this even possible? Are Admins able to see where a player is going to spawn?! Can they knock players out?!

We had no injury or anything like that (no zombies were chasing us etc.) when we disconnected from the last server ...

We know this is a Clan Server so we are kinda suspicious about whats going on there ...

Shouldnt have connected to a Clan Server in the first place anyway i guess.

I'd also like to know something about the power admins have or possibly gain through the server settings in general ... i dont feel comfortable at all playing dayz with all these new servers coming out of nothing ... Ruled by Clans and Groups passwording their servers and looting all that stuff only to reopen it again to snipe "normal" players like us.

Hey NoRegrets,

I'm an admin of the #LOTC network of servers, and I can tell you that server admins do NOT have any magical powers beyond the abilities to kick, ban, and restart the server. That being said, a lot of server admins have been cited for using hacks, because so long as their hacks aren't auto-detected, the only proof of them hacking is within server logs that they can just modify.

TL;DR Admins have no magical in-game powers.

Hi ... i just connected to a different server and i got knocked out for 5 Minutes!

This has never happened to me before ... we got knocked out the second we spawned into the server .... Maybe some sort of hack ... we might have spawned near them and they protected themself with this kind of hack?!! ...

I dont get it ...

There's also a bug which is causing you to faint when joining a server, even though you weren't in shock.
