US 863 Kansas City [Official Thread]

[melted349 43]

We have been hosting this server for a few weeks now. Figured we'd start up our own thread for people to talk about our server. Any issues you've seen, cheaters, glitches, etc, tell us about it in here. Server is hosted in Kansas City, KS, and it stays fully updated as a 50 man server.

Anyway some things you should know about our server:

• Recently upgraded our server with a SSD as the primary drive. Server runs awesome even after running for 48 hours straight!
  
• Admins: dazoe, red_404, melted349(myself)
  
  • Our admins to not abuse the server.
    
    • ​We give out at least 10 minute warnings for server restarts (unless a script kiddie is on our server)
      
    • We give our 3 day bans for the following:
      
      • ​Battle Logging (Alt+F4ing when being shot/shot at)
        
      • Teleporting (Switching servers to change your position, usually to kill another player)
        

      [*]​If you have an issue with our server or an admin, contact us! There are 3 of us, if one of us did do something we shouldn't have, another admin will step in to resolve the issue. Contact us via email: dayz@dazoe.net.

  [*]Don't teleport (we see this, we will kick/temp ban you)

  [*]Don't Alt+F4 when you get shot to avoid death (we see this, we will kick/temp ban you) + possibly chase you down to whatever server you hop to to finish you off

  • Dying is part of the game, accept it.
    

  [*]We generally update our server as soon as we release there's a new beta patch or update release for Dayz (so keep your clients updated) - We use and suggest Dayz Commander

  [*]If you have a problem with something we have done, take it up with us first. Give us a chance to resolve w/e problem you have before you try and report us or our server

  • We keep logs of logs. If you did something wrong and we kicked you, you report us, our logs are likely gonna make things worse for you, not us.
    
  • dayz@dazoe.net
    
  • Join us on mumble: dazoe.net:64738
    
  • Or post a reply here
    

  [*]Our admins are friendly, we have a mumble server you can join and talk to us, and we try and keep our server running as smooth and free of crappy players as possible.

Was just killed by two invincibles. Only got one of their names, it was a series of |'s l's and I's, so I don't think that'd help too much. Minh and Oreki were the two people killed. Ghillie suits, shot at us once and missed and we went prone. About 30 seconds later, we see them running at us with hatchets. I shot the one that was chasing me around 5 times with a Winchester, my buddy shot his 3 times with an enfield.

The other player was SupBrO and the i's or L's was X12. Me and my mate got moved to a wire surrounded building twice and killed by them.

[melted349 43]

Alright guys, we'll keep an eye out for them and I'll see if there's anything in the logs I can use to have them dealt with. Did you guys happen to get any screenshots or video of this? I would recommend installing FRAPS for this very purpose. Keep in running in the background and it's easy to get quick screenshots and video when things like this happen.

[melted349 43]

Alright guys, found the shit heads you were talking about, made a cheat report about it with the logs. View it here: http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/51174-us-863-hacks-logs-included/

Sorry this happened, I've added their GUIDs to our permanent ban for our server. So there's at least two shit heads down.

[far_king_super 0]

awesome good job :D i'll check out fraps for the future. Thanks.

[UNgarminh 9]

Nice man, thanks. I have FRAPS, just always been too lazy to have it running. I'll try to have it running if I can think of it. Appreciate you getting those guys, though.

Since it is in Kansas, are you gonna get Google Fiber and host it at home?

google.com/fiber

[melted349 43]

Lol that's a very good point. None of us admins that run this sever actually live in KC, where Google decided to put their fiber project (sorry Topeka). But we have been talking about doing a co-hosting service in KC instead of paying for a dedicated server. Basically build your own system, take it into the data center and rent a spot on the shelf and pay for bandwidth.

Although I don't live in KC, my city is running fiber currently and is suppose to be available for my area sometime this fall. So might run a dedicated DayZ from my house if that happens. Who knows.

SixLauncher has the location set at China. ARE YOU A COMMIE SPY?!

[melted349 43]

Our server IP was previously leased to a company in China. The particular geocaching DayZ uses to provide locations is out of date. Most geocaching servers will tell you that our IP is here in the US, the one that DayZ uses still says its in China.

Im from KC and google hasn't started installing the fiber yet.. but honestly I can't wait for it.

[xCrazyNomad 9]

what's happened to the server that disappeared?

[melted349 43]

what's happened to the server that disappeared?

Belonged to some company completely unrelated to game hosting or games in general. Honestly couldn't tell you, other than the hosting company that hosts our server now obtain this IP address when they leased some more IP addresses.

[melted349 43]

Server is going to be offline tonight until our hosting company completes a hardware upgrade. We are having a SSD drive added to our server. This will hopefully boost our performance.

[melted349 43]

Server upgrade complete. Added a new SSD, and the server seems to be running better and stays more stable longer.

Hi, I have been playing on this server with my friend and have been really enjoying, we were playing tonight and before the server reset we were both killed and upon respawn we have lost everything. I do not understand why this is and is there anyway of getting our stuff back?

[melted349 43]

How were you killed? And when you say you lost everything, you mean the gear you had on your character? That is lost when your character dies. Tents and inventory inside of tents should still be there unless someone has found it and raided it.

[douwe egbert 0]

We were just in the fire station at north airbase and there was no one else there, no gun shots, no zombie agrro and we both just got the you have died screen.it basically has asked us to choose gender again, i did notice that as we died there was also a few others names at the same time all came up in the kill feed?

i hope u can help with this

[melted349 43]

Exact time would be the most helpful. Right now I'm going off the time of your post here in the forums. I'll look through the logs.
