Server Issues

[Joekanone 3]

Hey,

am I the only one beeing concerned about the standalone not having company sided servers? I do understand that a mod is supposed to be supported by a lot of people and the need of servers hosted by the community, but this is a fact that concerns and annoys me a whole lot.

So far I`ve had about 20 servers in my favorites list. Planted a couple of tents, even managed to find a car and fixed it up, gathered a lot of helpful gear etc etc.

Of these 20 Servers there are eight left. Some were run by shitty admins or clans who follow the opinion, that since they pay for the server its their right to keep all the valuable stuff aka cars, chopper for themselves.

Getting kicked from your designated homeserver, because the admin and his group wanna play alone after server restart is pretty frustrating if you have stored all your gear on that server.

Some other servers went down for no reason.

Some servers went down because of hacker issues, which I kind of understand. I wouldn`t want to cope with hackers on a daily base, `cause it takes a lot of playing time away.

And some servers seem to have no stable connection or a major lack of hardware.

My personel endgame consists of permanent building up a new camps, finding valuable weapons and tools, stealing a car every now and then, finding a car all by myself, fixing it up just to realize that I loose everything for one of the reasons above without even beeing shot at.

This is somehow taking the fun out of the game, because its just plain old grinding.

I wouldn`t mind loosing my stuff because somebody shot me or because sombody stole my car or looted my basecamp.

In the standalone I don`t want to depend on the goodwill of any clan or admin allowing me to get what they don`t need and my progression shouldn`t depend on servers with insufficient hardware.

And No..... I don`t want to setup a server on my own. I couldn`t guarantee a permanent well run server and for sure people would be annoyed by me as an admin ;)

So my only conclusion is, that the DayZ-standalone servers need to be hosted and run by professionals. I even would consider a monthly fee if that guarantees a stable, hacker free environment.
