DayZ Private Facepunch Server - Thoughts?

[Steve Harvey]

Huh that's odd. Try again tomorrow I guess..try the skypes maybe.

[frankpetrov]

they haven't accepted my contact request yet

[Steve Harvey]

bastards >:(

[redback3]

I love that idea but don't make it bandit free, that makes it a less tense game, just make it less bullshit like the above people said (e.g. camping on a high building/forest with an AS50

[FellowChive]

I'm in, too. Sounds like fun!

[nick_9_8]

[QUOTE=HybridTheroy;39769080]instead of bandit free, you should just make it a rule to not kill anybody without interaction. (I.E. robbing, backstabbing)

I would definitely play the server then, because people just camping in the woods sniping passers by without hesitation is why I stopped playing DayZ.[/QUOTE]

Sorry mate, I'm going to chuck the old disagree on there.
The fact that I had to avoid plain sight for that very reason added another element of caution for me, and improved the atmosphere overall.

They may not need loot, but essentially they are anarchistic who follow no rules, and I assume anarchists would be expected in a world that's gone to shit.

I would love a good server to play on.

And I agree with nick. Surviving snipers (and other people) is just as must a part of the game as surviving zombies.

anarchist =/= fucking kill everything

[Skarphedinn]

A bandit free server sounds fucking dumb.

I don't know what it is about Facepunch DayZ servers. But they all seem to be anti-bandit and end in a shit load of Drama with people getting kicked and banned because the admins got killed/jacked.

Let people do what they wish. DayZ simply isn't DayZ without that fear with where ever you go, there is a chance you'll get killed.

I'm fairly sure this thread was made to discuss things like this, jesus christ

[profan]

If the server relies on a VPN tunnel for people to be able to join, don't expect it to be popular honestly :v:

Sort out your portforwarding at least, if your router is terrible and won't have it your way then get a new router(they're not that expensive).

Also this quite from the OP: [quote="OP"]This can weed out possible hackers and douchebags because its a little more effort to join[/quote]

Which is about as far from the truth that you can get because for every hacker and douchebag you don't get, there are another 10 players that also don't join at all because they won't bother.

So sort out your network and you'll actually have a chance at success! :smile:

Oh no someone disagrees with an a suggestion I made, not getting to sleep tonight!

In seriousness you still gotta keep your head down because if you are spotted chances are you'll still be approached. It just won't be an instant death without you knowing what hit you or where it came from.

if you would read, you would know the server isnt bandit free

[Raven-Rave]

[B]UPDATE:[/B]
Vilayer got back to FrankP and its now set up.

I'm currently setting up some buildings scattered over the place, vehicles are done but not using rMod cuts out the vehicle count quite a bit(Thats okay).

* I'm debunking the whole Bandit free thing, do as you wish.
* The server will not require a Tuungle or any of that to connect.
* rMod will NOT be used, its more trouble to join and you can't use DayZ Commander that way but if enough requests are had to add it we can do so until then it's not on the server.
* View distance will be increased, fog will be gone(but the view distance fog won't)

I will update the OP with information shortly.

mmmmmmmmm my body is ready

[frankpetrov]

might as well put it here... the server is now up and running

[Raven-Rave]

Frank beat me to the link.
Server is up

[Skarphedinn]

Oh boy. Found the AN2.

[b]Edit:[/b]

Server went down as soon as I took off in a huey loaded with gear Fuuuuuuck.

[perka123]

I'd totaly play.

[Raven-Rave]

The server is completely down. It was having problems connecting to BE Master and was causing drops. I'll have to talk to Frank about checking it and putting a support ticket up.

When I was playing last night, I kept having Connection Problem stutters that would last about 30 seconds every 10 minutes or so.

[frankpetrov]

That blows. Sorry guys. Will try to contact support.

[Skarphedinn]

If you guys get the server back up, Can you roll it back like 5 minutes or so? I was flying a Huey and don't want to spawn in with the wreckage ontop of me. :v:

[Raven-Rave]

Its back up. I will move you near it if its on top of you Sir_Takeslot

[Skarphedinn]

Gonna log back in then. Lets see what happened.

[b]Edit:[/b]

Internet is being dildos, I'll be back on later.

I think the decision to not give players a starting bandage was not very wise. I'm not really finding it enjoyable to play in pulsing black and white because some zombie miraculously spotted me from 300m out and caused me to bleed to ~1000 blood because I am without a bandage. This has happened with two characters so far. I killed my first character because I was tired of playing in black and white.

Also, I think the server should be made public. Most of the DayZ players on Facepunch have either moved on or are waiting for the standalone. I don't think renting a 50 slot server would be worth it if there will always be fewer than 10 players. If you are worried about having a server full of snipers, perhaps lowering the player count to 20-30 might make things more enjoyable.

Just my thoughts on the server. I will continue to play here, and I'm going to try to get some friends to play here as well.

[Raven-Rave]

The no starting bandage was an accident, I will fix that later.The sever has no password at the moment and hasn't had one since yesterday

[editline] [/editline]
I fixed it. Should be the same loadout + 2 bandages.

Thanks for the input. Raven has indeed fixed the loadout as he said. For the public option we are open to the public. We had a password on at first due to testing the first day to be sure everything was working properly. As for the player count, we can have however high of a limit we want. We are not renting out slots but rather an actual server. Also, as of last night we have a mumble server running as well so you can connect using the same ip. Lastly, i was told that the datacenter was in works of relocating which is supposedly the cause of the server randomly crashing and lag spikes. Hopefully they will be finished soon and the network will return to normal.
