US344 Rollback(?) After I stole from a tent.

[onix (DayZ) 0]

I am very sure this is a case of admin abuse. I came across this guy's tent and looted it and stole his ride(all 3 of them) and not 15 minutes later as I was guiding my friend to the location the server goes down. When we reconnect my friend sees the "[playername] was killed" text but is spawned right next to his body. He is able to loot his own body somehow and when I go check my tent that should be full of loot it is empty. I head back to the tent I stole from and sure enough its all full with everything it had in there to start with minus the M107. I then get one shotted and died.

And to top it all off? They tried to kill my friend again but when he respawned on the beach he had all off his stuff.

My advice is to not go on here as the admins will screw you over.

Can you steal from tents?

Can you steal from tents?

Its like opening up a loot pile, so yes. Other players cannot pack it up though.

Can you explain why my tent was empty after I logged back in and his was full again?

Nothing to do with admin abuse.

Tents are really buggy with saves and items will often disappear or reappear with server restarts/crashes,

what happened to your friend is a seperate bug that is happening to a few people lately.

Then you got shot probably while carelessly stealing from a campsite full of gear, well that's not a bug that was just being caught out ^^.

It's a bug. The bug causes a) some tents will always respawn empty. B) some tents will always respawn what was in them, even if these items get removed.

Another Admin that feels the need to insult someone Instead of explaining a possible explanation for what happened.

Yes...

Now have a look at 4 pages of threads and every little thing, from hacks, to spawning helos to your beer being stolen and girlfriend pregnant is blamed on Admin by cluesless people who have no idea of how the game works or what tools the admins have......

I have seen that and have experienced it. Difference is I do my absolute best to explain things to them and if they insist on not listening, I move on.

So you're saying tents losing/keeping items after being looted/stocked is a mechanic and not a glitch?

[jskibo 143]

Yep, same thing with them appearing and missing post restarts. Depending on when the server updates to the hive and how it restarts.

I don't have an Admin tool to loot a tent or make it appear or go away.

I can stop / start / restart

That's the list of magic abilities right now....

Hello I am the admin of this server my name is Clint I reset the server 1-2 daiyl, Alot of times Im not even on when I reset the server you need to make sure once you place a tent down to save it, as far as you thinking I rolled the server back because you raided a camp you are mistaken .
