Getting kicked by BattlEye for a ping at 115...

Anyone else getting this? Have the admins tightened ping retrictions?

[ABORT 5]

Wow that's a pretty low ping cap...

[reersh9 3]

That may have been by accident. I normally set a MaxPing of 200 but I'll remote in and check now; I might have mistakenly entered 100. Thanks for the heads up tsurotu.

Edit: Logged into BE RCON and set the ping at -1 for now so there should be no cap at the moment. Let me know if it gives you any further issues. And thanks for reporting the issue here. I have never seen any complaints about the server but I actively browse these forums just in case. Thanks for bringing attention to it for me to address.

[Tobblish 1]

Sorry reersh but you did that after me and my friends poped you and was about to raid your tents.

#I get killed, two of you guys get killed by my friend.

*server goes down*

-comes up-

#One of my friend loots and are about to leave but gets popped because you slowed us down with restart of the server.

*server goes down again*

-Comes up with a ping limit of 100 so we EU people get kicked and can't get on.

We'll have a official post about this soon, will post link!

[tsurotu 16]

Seems to be working now.

Thanks boss!

[reersh9 3]

Tobblish, I'd apologize but I am not aware of who you are or what you're talking about. Are you sure it was on Dallas 20? There has been zero admin interference or abuse on this server and it will remain that way. I'm happy to read whatever it is you have to say but, again, I'm confused as to what you're referring to.

Edit: After reading your edit, I can confirm that I did get killed today but had to respawn like anyone else would have had to. If that was you that killed me, it looks like you -- and friends -- managed to loot that camp so I'm confused what the issue is. Again, are you sure you're not confused about the server?

I was on the server when this happened. It wasn't the admin i'm sure. Reersh has been a really good guy overall. I've personally killed him once or twice and he takes it like a champ. Never has abused anything from what i've seen.

In fact: he didn't even kill your group, I did. I logged in and heard gunshots in the distance. Saw reersh9 was killed, saw Skeptic was killed, and saw Sagez was killed (all regulars) that I've played with and against throughout my stay on Dallas 20. I saw that one or two of your group was killed also. As I crested the hill I saw a guy looting what looked like two vehicles and a bunch of tents.

I crawled closer and decided to watch for a bit. It was pretty obvious he was raiding the area. I waited until he hopped into the vehicle to drive off, then I rolled around the corner and lit him up using my DMR. Killed him instantly, got the truck that he so nicely loaded for me, and rode off.

So, no, the admin didn't kill you. I did. Your guy was too greedy and didn't watch his flank while he went on his looting spree. I appreciate the weapons and vehicle you loaded up for me.

Well, now I know who to come after! But in all seriousness, this seems to be just another witch hunt by someone forced to lick the fuzzy side of the lollipop. I'm sorry that a server restart caused you issues. The server is really nice but it doesn't have 100% uptime; no server has that. Admittedly, I have manually restarted the server more often the past few days due to the lag being nearly unplayable and reports of loot/zombies not spawning by multiple people. I've also been on the ugly side of server scheduled restarts and server crashes; nobody is immune.

[tsurotu 16]

Glad to hear it wasn't a case of admin abuse. My friends and I just moved from a server due to suspicious shenanigans and server-clan combat disconnects.

Excellent server for people both sides of the pond in our experience, keep up the dedication

Thanks tsoruto and thanks for hopping into D20. Server rules, I'm pretty sure, are listed when you join but, just in case you miss them, can be found at www.metaredux.com. You can also find the info for the server's voice comms and other useful info.

I have done what I can to address the concerns with the server. The ping issue was an honest mistake, fixed as soon as I was made aware. Thanks again for bringing it to my attention.

[Tobblish 1]

Got this email from Reersh9:

Matt Brown skrev 2012-06-11 03:10:

> Now that your witch hunt on the forums has been squelched by factual reports by another server regular, is there nothing you have to say? A public apology would be nice but a private apology here, direct to me, in email format would suffice. Although I don't mind you continuing to play on the server, I would ask that you keep from making any more unnecessary drama. If you and your friend (with recorded IP/GUIDs) cannot do this, you will simply need to find another one to play on. Thanks!

I know what you was doing.

You did this to get us off the server, the were a server restart when we was playing so we got the times when it restart.

That all this """"just""" happens when we are playing, and looting one of your places are... ridiculous to think.

And no, I don't think we'll EVER play on your server again, since there wont be any fair game.

And no offense but your posts to protect Reersh9, tsurotu is pretty ridiculous. It's just to obvious.

A server don't just go down like that, gets restarted two times after to get a ping limit as well.

Theres no answer to the restarts and the ping limit, you say it's a mistake, why did you do it just after we killed you then?

[reersh9 3]

Tobblish, I think I'm fine with you not joining the server anymore. You're only interested in attacking me and others at this point. That was why you registered and posted on my website and why no amount of facts or explanation will help to sway you and the rest of your lynch mob. I've tried to be as cordial as possible but you have met that only with ridicule.

Your website?

I haven't posted anything on your website.

I've posted what happen, you have still not explained why you, not a """random""" restart happen, TWO TIMES and the last one added a ping limit.

It's to obvious.

Btw, you have already banned me on your server. :)

[LegalEagle 0]

Tobblish, you should probably just move to another server, it's obvious you think there is hacking going on here when there clearly isn't. You died in a large camp with vehicles, it's no wonder other people were there, could hear you, and shot you. Continuing on like this isn't going to get you anything.

If you're worried about ping limits you should probably join servers closer to you, as lag and odd server bugs are much more common with a high ping.

You died, it was fair, get over it.

As I've said I've moved on.

The restarts and ping limit did it for me, you don't just randomly add that after you have been killed ;)

And no I didn't die in the camp, just outside it.

If people heard it they would have to be close by, away from ANY city.

I know exactly what happen, people can think what ever they like.

It's just sad that people like this are able to have servers of DayZ.

You obviously have not moved on if you're going to continue to berate people who fairly shot and killed you.

"And no I didn't die in the camp, just outside it." -No you didn't.. I saw the video, you were inside of the vehicle at their camp, you don't have to lie to try and get a server shut down.

"I know exactly what happen, people can think what ever they like."-

If that was true, what haven't they been shut down yet? Why did you start your thread stating you wanted help figuring out what had happened if you already "know exactly" what took place? You're contradicting yourself.

"If people heard it they would have to be close by, away from ANY city."- Just like you were? Imagine that, players able to go the same places as you!

"It's just sad that people like this are able to have servers of DayZ." - I feel sorry for the people who spend their money to create a fair playing ground for people who happen to enjoy the same game, and then having to deal with people like you who die, then bitch and moan over something they didn't actually comprehend because their internet connection speed couldn't keep up with a server half way across the world.

"I've posted what happen, you have still not explained why you, not a """random""" restart happen, TWO TIMES and the last one added a ping limit.

It's to obvious."

Why would any of this matter if you were just killed? There's nothing to gain by resetting a server if you have already killed the person attacking your camp. The ping limit is to keep the server going smoothly, you're not the only one it effected, and you're not the reason it was on. Stop being so vain.

Sorry but have you even read the thread or watched the video as you say?

It's not me on the movie... it even says Tobblish was killed(the guy that die first and later gets looted by two people, they two gets killed my Blaze...), it's my friend that shot the video.

It's the mod that was killed, later all hell went loose with restarts and ping limit.

And how come you give a damn about all this?

I've moved on from the server, not this issue with server admins not being fair game.

It's not our camp, it's the admin and his bois camp.

- That doesn't dismiss any of what I said. It doesn't matter where you died.

Why would server restarts and ping limit matter if it happened later on? You didn't take anything and you all died, a server reset wouldn't bring back items or dead bodies at that point. And a ping limit wouldn't be used to block someone specific if they have the power to ban you (which you have proved is possible after recently being banned for berating him and his server.)

I know who's camp it was, and they survived. Why would they reset the server if they won the fight and killed you and your friends?

If you had won, and killed everyone, then banned for doing so is one thing. But getting killed and a server reset happening "later on" is another entirely.

I give a damn because your story doesn't make sense, and I see no evidence of hacking or admin abuse. No one should have to defend themselves from something they didn't do, why would I need a reason for defending someone that is obviously in the right other than to disprove the wrong?

[reersh9 3]

The server admin did not kill you. His "bois" did not kill you. The admin has every right to set a max ping and every right to a mistake once in a while. The admin logged in away from the computer to fix the ping issue when he found out about it.

Tobblish, your child-like narcissism is getting in the way of rational thought. If I had any interest in keeping you from looting my camp after killing me, I would not have waited 10 minutes to restart the server and THEN keep it open for you to join again. I had no way of knowing who was with you and who wasn't so accusing me of specifically targeting you and your group makes no sense. Lastly, many of us lost items at the camp but you don't see us whining incessantly like prepubescent school kids.

You died. Admin died. Blaze died. We all lose. You just choose to lose without displaying any level of maturity. I've repeatedly addressed all issues you have had; you are simply too stubborn or blatantly unwilling to read the explanations.

Feel free to provide your own server and let us know about it. I'd love to finally see a server that is not affected by drastic differences in ping while maintaining a record of 100% uptime.

[Tobblish 1]

LegalEagle:

Sorry but you don't have it right.

Theres one movie, 3parts that cover the whole thing.

Feel free to watch it again so you can get it right.

reersh9:

Yeah I'm not convinced one bit off that it just "happen" and it all was unlucky. The parts just adds up way to good for me to change my mind.

But I also want to say that your server, was one of the best servers there was. Friday/Saturday was a hell finding one but then I came across yours, bloody amazing. No lag, no rubberbanding, nothing wrong.

Sunday it restarted[at noon for me](I guess this was a schedule one) and after that we had a bit of lag etc but it was still good.

I had a very very very good experience those days but it all changed after the incidence with restarts and added ping limit.[Monday morning](it's now gone ofc)

You have also done something that blocks my CD Key from your server.

If you like, we could have a talk in Skype or something because I rather do that then in text form on a forum. //PM//

[tsurotu 16]

Wow. My thread turned into a shitfest.

Can a mod lock this down?

Tobblish, the website for the server is in the server name. Ventrilo information is available on the website. Although you could have used that information first, I don't fault you at all for coming here. If you think it's suspicious, then this is the place to question it. I have nothing wrong with that.

My issue thus far is that I've provided as much information as I can as to what happened but it's not enough to get you to drop the inflammatory accusations. I've gone as far as to even repeatedly admit that I absolutely made a mistake with applying a ping cap of 100 instead of 200. In my haste to try and get the server somewhat playable, I made an error as all humans do. It has been fixed and I will take care to make sure it's not set so absurdly low in the future.

Still, I cannot account for the server restarts during this incident. I did not intentionally target you or your group and I certainly did not do anything in an attempt to "slow you down" or keep you from looting that area. I had already chalked it up as a loss and tried to run back as fast as possible to keep from losing everything. After the server went down, I gave up and logged off.

You are welcome to join our voice server as long as you keep it civil. There's nothing else I can add to the timeline or explanation but you're welcome to join. I've also removed the tempban that I placed on your GUID. Just as I said in my email, if you can keep from fabricating further drama, I'm happy to have you play on the server.

tsurotu, I'm sorry your thread was hijacked here. Feel free to post any further issues you find with the server at www.metaredux.com or jump on our voice comms yourself.
