Due to all the hacking and nothing being done about it

[Razzle Dazzle 49]

Its time for the devs to quit with all the bullshit rules in this game , we pay for the server and there should be no reason we cant lock the server. Im so sick of getting teleported in the air and dropped because of some asshole hacker who can write a script and ruin this whole game. There wont be a mod without the clans that pay for servers , for now on when this happens i am banning everyone in my server because there is no way of telling who is hacking.

Not possible. Battle Eye sucks and this is a mod, which means they can't do anything...

[Voxgizer 22]

Seems a bit overkill to ban EVERYONE, but I agree that server admins ought to be able to police their own servers (within reason).

[hardcoreymp 16]

Do you feel better now lol??

[ZedsDeadBaby 2287]

Yes! Absolutely.

Tired of all the hackers?

Now you can get fucked by childish admins too.

It will be glorious.

The reason you are not allowed to lock the server is that by doing so you have an advantage over others when it comes to being able to go and "gear up", this is a persistant game, so what you do on one server affects the whole playerbase.

So your sick of someone ruining your game play, so your going to throw a tantrum and ruin as many other peoples game as possible ? (sounds very "mature").

And there will be a mod without hosters like yourself, in fact the mod in general will be better off without people like yourself hosting. Do us all a favour and stop renting a server.

I take it you dont pay for a server your one of the leechers that cries when a admin kicks you.

Any actual admin that sees this would be disgusted with your attitude.

Allow me to educate you

1) You are not better than everyone because you have a server, get off your high horse

2) Admins have responsibility and must be the bigger person in almost every situation. If you aren't man enough to turn the other cheek you should consider shutting down your server

3) The "clan servers" and the abuse that steams from them receives more complaints than hackers, people like you are a bigger problem

4) Banning solves nothing, what's 1 server ban? The most likely outcome, you will attract hackers to your server who want 'vengeance' on your abuse

5) Why are you kicking people? People have every reason to 'cry' when someone abuses their power and kicks them

I'm sorry to hear about your bad experience, but not as sorry as I am to the players who will suffer because your ego makes you abuse to the one function you are given as an admin.

You want to be respected as an admin and given some more tools, stop abusing the ones you have!

I hope this wasn't too blunt/harsh, but I think it is a fair call

Look from my perspective, I host many DayZ servers and I sit in TeamSpeak listening to people playing on my servers and then all of a sudden people who have worked weeks to get where they are are teleported to one area and destroyed.

I understand it's Alpha, I understand ARMA2 is a military simulator and by being that doesn't have some of the safe guards built into it that other games might have.

But the fact that someone can simply remove certain files and remove trees, rocks, buildings from the game + teleport, fly around the map and kill people is getting to be a real pain.

I'm simply echoing others comments however the few of us who support this game by hosting servers would like to see a little more focus on maybe adjusting the output to the logs perhaps so we can have clearer viability on these hacks so we can take appropriate action.

Surely with the amount of ARMA2 patches we've had since DayZ's introduction we can look at possibly logging more information or outputting to another file that records certain things like abnormal travel times across the map or looking at capturing the teleport commands. This might not be possible however I think BIS + DayZ while it may not be your bag, have a serious think about holding off on things like adjusting log out times and speeding up the loading process and look at if there is any ammo you can give server admins to fight the fight and assist in building a solid player base for when this moves to release.

At this point I seriously want to save the hassle and turn the servers off for now and wait for something to be done.

Actually it's ALPHA, not beta.

And feel free to look at my post history for this fabled crying that you speak of. (you will find none). And for the record I host and have hosted a fair few game servers. Have been doing so for about 10 years now.

Your clearly immature and not mentally developed enough to be an administrator of anything at all, let alone a public game server.

You said it yourself in your first post that you are going to "Ban everyone" because you are upset with hackers. That is something a child would say and do.

My advice is to grow up and stop embarrassing yourself on the forums.
