mgftw.com DayZ server (50 slots Amsterdam)

What is so good about this game? Played it yesterday, it looks and feels boring to me

 

I'm assuming regular restarts would help keep the server healthy. Anyway to configure it to set max ping higher on restart?

 

Dayz does say going above max ping 350. could have performance issues

 

Yeah, I believe several elements such as loot spawning and infected AI are controlled by the client which gets communicated to the server and other players; too high a ping will result in (even more) laggy infected.

 

Surprisingly ran smooth for me. That is, until kira and I got sniped in the middle of Cherno.

We need more MGftw people to regulate.

 

nice just got back from Hard Rock Resort in Punta Cana and spent some extra large amount of Dinero, as soon as I recover, i will buy the game LOL

 

This game is just to buggy.

 

I like the game, but I hate their dev team. It's not fun unless you immerse yourself in the game... You have to put your real self into the adventure... sort of.

 

i was so nervous when i made my first kill damn! such a strange feeling lol.

and no i dont mean like running in cherno going crazy.

but following someone in the north for 10 min. and find the right time to kill him

 

Did you both have weapons? I had this same feeling, I didn't kill him tho but I had the only Hatchet and could have done it. I feel there is no point unless he has something you want, I just got him to aggro the zombies to me so I could kill them. One day I will stab someone in the back, just got to find the right moment as you did.

 

Yesterday, Kira and I were in Stary. I let him know it's a dangerous city so we scout a good ten minutes with binoculars. We then see two guys stuck on the second floor of a building with zeds all around them so we start trying to plan a way to take them out. We're just watching them when all of a sudden a sniper picks both of them off. Kira and I say eff this and start running the other direction to the next city. Again, we scout for a few minutes then start heading in when all of a sudden three dudes hiding in bushes nearby shoot us from behind.

As glitchy as it is, I value it for how intense it can be.

 

well Marvel, you got yourself the first cheaters....

Around 11:20 PM MST i was in the NW airport, in the blue ​

steel building

by the NW barracks, the farhest one up north. As usual, laying on my belly on the passageway, right on the corner, with a M4A3 CCo whatever that is called(the one with flashlight,grip and aimpoint )...2 dudes in front of me, outside by the fence separating the building from the barracks. They have their back turned, so I am looking at them. No name-tags pop when under scope..nothing. One had an AK-74 or AKM and the other one what looked like a DMR and a ghillie suit. All of a sudden they turn, somehow see me although i was laying down immobile and open fire...I shoot at one, and move away from sight. Normally they wouldn't be able to see me through the wall but i hear one of them firing his AK, through the wall, and hits me straight on...a 5-7 bullet burst...when I am away 20 feet from my original place and moved further up, almost at the next corner of the building....I highly doubt that was luck..more of a wallhack

There ya go...wallhack script to victory

In case you want to look in the logs, my char name is Ar'kain​

 

I think one of the reasons, why i don't like this game is because it's a open world game where you spend most of the time running around trying to find things to survive but i prefer close action which is why i prefer to play BF3 Close Quarters over this. Another reason i didn't like this game was because when i started playing, i had no gun or anything to defend and some player clawed me to death and i didn't even know how to claw him back and then when i started again, zombies raped me to death. This game may be good once you have things to defend yourself and when you hang around in a group of people who you can trust to not shoot u from behind.

 

Ar'kain can be banned.

I noticed him at the flats in Cherno. I walked him in his back by mistake so i was about to switch my gun when he suddenly turns around, notices me and disconnects immidiately.

I was still in the plalerlobby to confirm his disconnect when he suddenly came back and shot me.

Another DC noob: DutchFuture. Unloaded a M1014 in his back when he was sniping on top of the hill at Elektro. He disconnected when he was almost dead.

 

Looking forward to the following:

Also, it will get really funny when people can't D/C during a firefight anymore. You will see that loads of high equipped players won't last a single day anymore. Looking forward to it.

 

Agree, tons of cheaters.

I read that the Arma 2 engine makes it able to run scripts client side, giving people the opportunity to to pretty much whatever they want. Also, the Battleye anti-cheat engine is rubbish. The best way to avoid cheaters at this moment is to deny all connections except for people which are registered (at this forum for example) but the DayZ mods won't allow you to do so.

After two weeks i can simply make the following list:
- Lots of major bugs
- Simple tricks to avoid death
- Lots of way of getting gear very fast (Server hopping, cheat spawning, duplicating)
- Lots of cheaters who can't be stopped (they can avoid being logged)
- Lots of vehicles that can't be used (placed outside the map somewhere to avoid being found)

The worst thing is that the mods don't allow admin to take measures against everything listed above. If you do so you get delisted.

A solution: DayZ should get rid of the central database/hive and let admins run their own server their own way in order to make room for 3rd party (anticheat)software and other ways to avoid cheaters and bugs.

Imho this game is pretty crappy and the setup of using a central database doesn't give the game any room to grow fast in the future.

 

How do you use the hatchet as a weapon? I have both a hunting knife and a hatchet but I can't use them as weapons.
