Tons and tons and tons of 1.7.2.4 servers LOCKED

[chaossound 101]

what is this bullshit?

[peke_kantsi@hotmail.com 36]

Helicopters to the admins ftw!

[RicardoCCH (DayZ) 26]

I think this is a testing build, am i wrong ???

[Disgraced 1123]

They are probably mistakenly thinking helis.

Or they're using that auto lock that keeps things from overheating...

I'm guessing the admins are locking their servers so they and their friends can do some "testing" (testing how fast they can hoard all of the choppers).

[oppdelta 14]

MOOOOOOOST likely admins trying to find choppers and haven't realised that they wont spawn until 34 hours from now...

[RicardoCCH (DayZ) 26]

This update has been subjected to only closed testing with around 50 players, it is released to players who want to help check if this is a good update under capacity

SixUpdater will only host the update once we have confirmed we are satisfied with the update

Server Owners: PLEASE update your builds to the latest (95389) beta

Please do not grab this update, and then QQ because you can't find a server. Install to a new @dayz mod folder and use when servers become available

The ideal place to load bugs is at the community bug tracker:

https://dev-heaven.net/projects/dayz

Please make sure they are listed to the DayZ project. Feature requests can also be made through this system.

Also server owners note:

I'm lol-ing, they are probably like idiots looking at the places they saw on dayzdb searching for helis, and they are not going to find a single shit :D

[ODoyleRulez 195]

Write down all the servers that are locked with people inside it. Let them do all the work repairing the choppers and hoarding the stuff. then you just log in later, head far north and take them. Or be like me, blow them up.

[chaossound 101]

That post is outdated six updater updated EVERYONES client and 1.7.2.4 is out to all the server admins aswell as there are MORE than 50 servers running 1.7.2.4

[snafuu (DayZ) 30]

Servers are never supposed to be locked. It's your guess as to why server admins with the update are locking them.

(hint: YEP IT'S HELICOPTERS)

[chaossound 101]

Just counted 23 locked servers with a minimum of 1 player on it. Been like that for about 15-20 minutes now

[oleg86@msn.com 101]

can we have them all blacklisted please

[oleg86@msn.com 101]

it is the same people who will restart the server if you kill them/their helicopters

[v1ktor 59]

Obviously helicopters, I think rocket should blacklist all those servers and reset vehicle spawns

[chaossound 101]

I also notice that 90% of the are the german servers. As far as blacklisting the servers go naw, just hive ban the admins for 48 hours

Let them find and repair those choppers... With regular tent/vehicle purges outside of map boundaries, they'll have to park them somewhere where enterprising scroungers can find them...

hill tops and server boarder forests/plains for the win

With a chopper they can gather all the boats easily and camp the thing on stalinsky isle. Good luck getting there with no boats.

[TehSuper 2]

Lol in case you idiots haven't figured it out, not even the admins are being able to go into the servers.

[chaossound 101]

Thats why theres 1,2 or 3 people on the locked servers yes?

One of the benefits of having a 2nd account. I think nothing of storing my goodies.. and having a swim. load up their stuff into the chopper and fly to freedom.

Also you blow up the boats, so they have to swim back :D

[chaossound 101]

Going to compile a quick list of the servers/ number of players with IPs in a few moments

[thekaiser (DayZ) 17]

Ugh. Why do people have to ruin this element of the game. One warning, then boot their arse. I could care less that you pay for the server, running a server gives you responsibilities through service not rights through ownership.

[chaossound 101]

Amen to that.
