Elouda 0 Posted May 28, 2012 Is this sort of thing permitted? I've seen a couple of these but theyre generally empty, but this is rather blatant.Just thought I'd bring it up incase something needs to be done, or if it is allowed then it will be good to know.[attachment=559] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xalienax 621 Posted May 28, 2012 Why should it not be allowed?I would be really annoyed if they were to say you cant even lock a server (especially if you have a dedi box) I see no way this is an exploit. *Disclaimer: I don't own a server and im not saying that's the official rules Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mines_skyline 4 Posted May 28, 2012 well the reason is that if its ur clans server, u can just all be "friendly" and not shoot anyone. u dont have the bandit risk factor. so u just go around collecting uber-loot without any danger. only zombies ofc. then when u have uber-loot, u can go a different server and rape everyone.

xalienax 621 Posted May 28, 2012 Yes i can see that.. but think about this.You have a clan of 60+ members. Your members donate so you can have your own servers. Why should me not be able to lock it? Especially during peak hours? Im sorry i cant accept the paying members having to take que behind non-contributing pubbers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is unfair to those of us who work for our gear.As per the server rules in the 'Want to host a DayZ Server? Read in here.' thread (link - http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=1429);- IT MAY NEVER BE PASSWORDED- NO KICKING TO MAKE ROOM FOR 'FRIENDS' OR CLANMATESAs explained in another thread earlier (by rocket I think, not sure), being able to host a server and get access to hive is a privledge that comes with certain responsibilities and duties. This includes making it publically accessible to everyone in a fair way.Seems that certain groups aren't interested in following those rules.Further details on where to report these would be appreciated.

I think it's extremely narrow minded for any of us to think we should have access to something that can cost over a hundred $ a month ahead of the person(s) who paid for it.What makes me madder tho then the rules is the reason they have to be there- Because a handful of admins/owners abuse the power and kick anyone who bests them or fires at them. Its because of that sort of behavior the rest of us are encumbered with BS rules... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Elouda 0 Posted May 28, 2012 Personally I can even understand the kicking for admins or clan members, but if the developers dont want that then it shouldnt be done.What I cannot understand or accept is locking a 40 player server so 8 clan members can play on there in 'peace' and farm all the loot. This is not sensible or fair on a game that shares a central server database.If their gear was only on that server, I couldnt give a rats arse what they did. Unfortunately, it is not, and that is the issue at hand here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xalienax 621 Posted May 28, 2012 Like i said i understand Why it's the way it is. What makes me mad are the people who exploit and force us to deal with this junk and cant get 40+ guys into a public server at one time because of the randoms in there.

dblkion 0 Posted May 28, 2012 Yea more and more passworded servers, probably to fully gear themselves then join public and rape everyone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slimlacy 19 Posted May 28, 2012 Sovetsky, Rocket himself said that if you don't like the rules, don't buy a server. Plenty of people who agree to the rules without any trouble, if the server hosts cant, then they should host something else.So don't really see a problem with the rules, it is not like they are doing Rocket a favor and he owes them anything.

It locked thanks for another players who want to kill streamers. On your screen not only our server has been locked, as u see there are 4 passworded server more. So u cant join another server, as u see that server locked, or u think that first thing to do then u see locked server is make a topic with "ololo that server has beeing locked, ban them all"?We locked our server for another streamers too, for 105th for example, couse its not cool for subscribers when any1 want to kill u on your stream, and all time u was streaming u feared of killing u by another player. So we payed our own server and we cant close it for 1 day of streaming? Why? Streams attacted new players to this game as i think, not? We dont loot any rare items or any imba weapons for dominating in cherna or electra, we show gameplay, and if u have reserv point of view - so... u wrong Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
knightcat 0 Posted May 28, 2012 Well, the hosting rules do not allow for the Server to be locked at any time, no matter how good your intentions are or how valid your reason to have it locked.I agree that it is strange that you pay for the server (I do as well) and you can't enforce the rules you want or kick to make room for clan mates, etc. but, we all have to host by the same rules with this mod. Otherwise, the next person to lock their server to 'stream' may not be as honest as you and your crew. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kdjac 3 Posted May 28, 2012 we show gameplayYou show one side of gameplay, being killed by other players is part of the gameplay that your showing is it not?I am posting here now as i cant get onto the server i pay for, will i bitch and whinge about it? Nope Will i make up reason about "streaming and showing one side of gameplay" NopeWill i say I pay for the server so can do what i like? Nope.....because i was aware of this before i paid money for the server. it says it quite clearly in the server hosting rules. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cm. (DayZ) 28 Posted May 28, 2012 locking a server for streaming is not a valid reason...I can lock the server for a week and go "oh sorry guys we are just streaming". It's also dayz - dying and deceit is part of the game, if you want to stream great but just know that some people may use it against you.Such is life, don't be such a pansy.we are currently paying $800 per month for our servers and you don't see me kick people to get in, or locking the server so I can "stream".
