(OCN)Vortech 65 Posted July 23, 2012 Let me begin by saying I've read that the VPS admins cannot perform any form of rollback.. I get that. I also generally understand the concept of the hive. I spent all morning trying to calm my group down making excuses for this server US# 500 by Multiplay. At this point though having looked into it I can't make excuses any longer.All this morning a group of us were cultivating an off-road pickup, we were doing great as we had a bicycle too. Long story short after some time and searching we had the truck in condition to move out. We relocated the vehicle inside the boundaries in the forest. We left two player at the truck, one inside saved, and one outside. I was on the bicycle making my way back out for supplies and I heard shots. I noticed zombies spawned in and a dead one outside, this was where we took the truck from. A few minutes later without notice the server immediately goes into a brief countdown and goes offline. Since we had been on for hours we figured it was a scheduled reboot. When we arrived back in my bicycle was gone, and the player outside of the car spawned in dead for some reason. The player quickly exited out and when the player came back they had all their gear on the shore in Elektro. Suddenly we see another brief countdown and the server goes offline again. We spawn in and everyone is alive but now the truck is missing. As we check our gear again we were all rolled back as we had raw meat we had collected hours earlier.What concerns me is the precision., I've personally never encountered such accurate rollbacks like that.. not to mention the multiple restarts. I've experienced a single instance hive sync rollback no matter the reboots but multiple rollbacks watching our inventories change was unreal. Thoughts?

Thoughts?I know ever since post 1.7.5 it really feels like admins have found a way to control the servers game world through rollbacks since ive seen a FUCKTON of server restarts constantly and also my loot vanishing everytime i try setting up a camp.INFACT one time i went to a server and found the admin and friends's tents...i looted with friends...the next day everything we stole was back....after we put a tent close to it on the same server and moved stuff to that one...the next day we came back tents were empty and the admin tents had not re spawned the loot again...i really think they were able to keep refreshing their tents...P.S i know it was the admins tents because of a major coincidence lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slyguy65 499 Posted July 23, 2012 Also i had a white off road truck on a us 500 server (now 666) and it had also dissapeared the next day...half of me feels like the servers are just fucked due to the recent influx of updates for arma and day (it went from a hiatus of updates to back to back up dates, plus the beta updates)Other half has me thinking that admins have just finally found a way to control loot in their server.

Heres the thing. I am the admin for US 500 Rage Quit Inc. and I literally woke up about 50 minutes ago. I don't have a vehicle of my own...I'm in the woods waiting for my meathead friends to get online to come play with me. I have not, nor has my friend who pays the other 50 bucks a month for the server restarted a single thing. This server is literally 1 day old...so please dont lump it in with older servers that have gone by that name. Good luck with your gaming...-Mike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I looked for a representative before making a thread, also note this thread is NOT in the report sub-forum. However, you sir have a security breach already, a rogue admin, a poor host, or you're outright lying (no disrespect intended). If you have the means I would implore you to check your logs and I assure you that you'll see multiple restarts. I can't tell you why or who but I as well as others can give you our words that your server was restarted multiple times. Each restart our gear changed and vehicles went missing. Someone dropped the ball, someone is up to no good. You're not ogg to a great start mate.As far as the one day old comment goes I imagine that's directed at the other comments. We joined your server for the very reason all the Multiplay boxes were new and we HOPED we wouldn't experience foul play. To clarify I never associated your server with an older one. We assumed your new server wouldn't subject us to abuse, unfortunate for us our efforts were a waste.One day in and you already need to do some housekeeping, somebody is lying to you sir. Good luck with all that. - Vortech Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
