Restarting whole DayZ Database from Zero!!?

[EsCoBaR1337 1]

Hey guys...

I´m glad the hacking stuff became better and my mates enjoy that game again - fucked up thing is that there is too much hacked stuff left on EVERY server. Where ever a hacker was he left crades or even equipped everyone on the server with EVERYTHING you can find in the game. The fact that you can double up stuff in your tents is also a fact that destroys the game because in that way everyone doubled up the hacked stuff that was brought to every server. In that way hackers r gone but their stuff is still left and doubled up in tents to endless amounts. That´s taking much fun out of the game because everyone is able die and get back all high end gear u r able to find in 1 hour. The fact of too much hacked stuff is poisoning all servers takes fun out of the game because it´s not legemitly how it came there.

I would really love to start on a fresh server where everything is like it´s in a legemit way and no one is carrying arround hacked stuff anymore...

Is there a possibility for some servers to refresh to zero or is it just possible for the whole dayZ database??

There is no point doing this until the duping/hacking issues are fixed and that's probably not going to happen until standalone where the database would start fresh again anyway. If you wiped it today, the hackers and dupers would just create hundreds of them all again in a day regardless.

You are welcome to play on private hives though (sanctuary servers), I'm sure the issue is a lot less prevalent on them.

people ask for this everyday, but there is no point in doing it until it will actually be effective. I think at the moment it would require Rocket to force every server owner to wipe their map individually since that information is saved server side. If admins want they can wipe their servers, but obviously people will still have stuff in their packs. I think until duping, tents, hackers and a host of bugs are fixed there is no point.

Remove tents. Ta-da. One step in right direction. XD

um, cars, tents, Inventory, and characters are hive side, not server side.

[wordplayuk@gmail.com 101]

I think characters are but not tents or vehicles. That's why the vehicles had to be added to servers individually and why the state of tents and vehicles saving is based on the version the server is running. Could be wrong, but I remember seeing a discussion on this before

I think they should release new really patching patch to fix all the most serious bugs/glitches and then reset the DB.

Interestingly enough, deleting tents and vehicle storage altogether would end duping immediately.
