Losing lots of servers?

[Nick_Nac 2]

Just an observation, and very short (promise) emo rage. Anyone else finding that servers you have been playing on for a while have been vanishing lately? with the newest patch you cant store in tents after the initial save. So, I made 6 camps in the same location across 6 servers, each with similar gear. In the last 2 weeks every single one of those servers is no longer available. Oh well, GW2 is out now; here's hoping for a new patch soon.

Chin up, gentlemen, we're in for heavy weather.

Yeah noticed that a lot in Oz, we actually managed to get a quite a few servers up and running but now that list has halved :(, have had to change home servers twice in the past 2 weeks. Last night the admin asked everyone to vote on whether to roll back to 1.7.2.4 or not, he wanted to see what people thought, I voted No but couldnt see what others had said, think that server is going to roll back as well.

If they dont fix the tents/vehicles then not only are we losing people (check the number of people on in the last 24 hours) but also servers.

/shrug. Im sure those in the know know what they are doing.

Yeah ive got some tents with some stuff I want out of them right now on servers that have recently, by the looks of it, been shut down.

I near gave up on Dayz until I said screw it and became a mountain man. It's really the only playstyle I can conceive at the moment not dependent on good gear or vehicles.

Matches, a hatchet, and a water bottle. BAM. Mountain man.

It is an alpha, but understandably there is a limit on the amount of bugs/issues that players will tolerate, and with the eye-bleeding artifacts and now broken tents/vehicles not saving it's reaching a tipping point for many, that's being reflected both with the servers and on the forums.

I know my regular server is in the process of switching over to Vilayer's hive (in which tents and vehicles save) and I know quite a few other servers are too. Obviously some things cannot be fixed until standalone but I hope the tents/vehicles/artifacts do soon.

Considering most aust servers have terrible load times I'm not surprised that people stopped playing on them. After getting nuked you don't want to wait 5mins just to get started again :/

Artifacts are solved by PBO editing the dead bodies out using CPBO. However, checksums do not match up and most servers kick after 10-20 mins. A hotfix that removes the corpses from the game would solve 99% of artifacting problems.

As for vehicles and tents, yeah theyre buggered as all hell. Super annoying. All of my stuff from 1.7.2.4 just constantly respawns, and new stuff disappears. Same with vehicle inventories.

Also, its back to school time in America; I'm not on as much (College), as are many others. Combine that with DayZ Vets of 2-4 months getting bored, the numbers drop. Still, a sizeable chunk do play every day.
