A current solution to ghosting, hopping and more

[paratus 21]

For a while I've been posting on here about the issue of ghosting (that is disconnecting, moving to a location on another server, and going back to the secured one), hopping servers for gear, alt-f4 disconnects and more. The majority of viewers all agreed that we need to have official private hive servers.

I wanted to make everyone aware of the server The Asylum, if you haven't heard of it yet. It's exactly, in every way, identical to every other DayZ server only it's private hive. That means your character is only on that server, but it's a dedicated and permanent server. The server's only a couple of days old so it's perfect for a fresh start without everyone having duped gear, etc.

Check out the site at www.dayzasylum.com and drop by.

Hopefully some of you will learn there is a way to get around those gamebreaking issues. There other plenty of private hive servers around but this one is new and fresh, extremely fast (fastest you'll have ever played on I'm sure), permanent and identical to hived servers in every way.

It can't be your server can it?

And perhaps you don't want to get in trouble for having a private hive?

" the MAJORITY of users ALL agreed" Lol, as a scientist i recognize the clear signs of made up data to supports one's cause...

What was it? >50% or 100%

I don't own it but I do play there. I love the game but until this issue is addressed by rocket, and no longer ignored, it's the only decent way to play.

Look up the posts by me and others that had polls, with over 50% in agreement. That's the majority.

A private server stops altf4 how exactly?

Edit: Oh and in b4delete or lock.

In my opinion this is not an optional fix for those issues. By giving every server its private hive would only make Dayz lose its potential,

I've never wanted all servers to have private hives, but it should always be an option for those who want a secure and pure experience. It's a lot different playing without the issues the hive has caused. It might not be for some, but it is great for many.

I don't give a day old skidmark about the PvP aspect of this game, and apparently it saves me A LOT of grief.

I know the low ping, low occupancy servers that I can play on where I rarely see hackers or other players for that matter.

Meh.

[Lennsik 176]

Just saying, if that private server got hit with a hacker. Your loss.

All servers get hit with hackers.. they're all as vulnerable as the next until BE gets a considerable update. At least they get permanent bans on the Asylum as it almost always has a moderator connected. Can't say the same for the other servers.

Played on this server 2 hours ago for about an hour. Finally could play again without risking losing my other character that I can't use since my friend is on holiday. Had some fun running around cherno/elektro. Tried swimming to skalisity island, reached it, and then promptly started getting explosions appearing all around me. His first try didn't kill me, then he did it again and killed me. Too bad I didn't get his name.

[paratus 21]

The server has a new backup system in place so that if a hacker hits and affects a lot of people, the majority of times it can roll back only a few minutes so that nobody loses much.

PS: Last night, with 70 people on, it was faster than most severs with 10 people. Fun times. :)

FYI Duping does not work on a private hive (except for tents+server reset). It stops ghosting and people who Alt+f4, have no other server to get back on to. You can also get their name and make a mental note about that player. Get almost zero Desyncing issues.

It's the way to play.

I have to check this out tonight!

Has there been any word when the tent/vehicle dupe will be fixed? It's been around for weeks now, is just about game-breaking and affects both private and hive servers.

[Essonimex 21]

Do you have EU servers?

[paratus 21]

No EU server yet but maybe they'll have one in the future, not sure. I believe the current one is in Dallas.

You can search characters on their sites for stats now, ie: http://www.dayzasylum.com/character.php?c=11159814

Bunch of leaderboards tomorrow, too.

Hackers are overrunning DayZ and we need your opinion on what you're willing to do to solve the issue:
