I logged on to JP Survival, expecting the worst, but was relieved to wake up in my own base. After awhile I saw I was carrying an MP5, which I ditched a day or two ago and began carrying an AK and HMLMG. Upon further inspection, It seems as my progression was scaled back a day or more on that server. I had more L96's in my possession and several AKs. Now I have only two L96s and zero AKs, and no HMLMGs. What is going on on the JP servers?!?!?!?! This is a lot of work tossed in the shitter.

I logged on to JP Scourge just now and it said I was killed by the Brad. Not possible. I logged off in my base, as I always do. Only way that's possible is if I was teleported there by an admin. Also, by base was gone. It had 5 1/2 days upkeep in it, so this is impossible, too. I suppose an admin could have deleted my base, but not sure why that would occur. All the items I had researched are still there, so it wasn't like a server wipe. I was hoping that someone could investigate this and see how and why this happened. I also lost around 10,000 lowgrade which took me three days to accumulate. Really a mess. Again, I hope that someone can investigate why this occurred. I would certainly like an explanation. Thanks, Chinaski

After careful observation, and with a little dialogue with an admin, I believe I know why the Chinook isn't dropping crates on both Survival and Scourge. I believe it has to do with having four oil rigs on our maps. By travelling to two of them (around 80% of the time) the Chinook's natural timing is off slightly, and it "forgets" to drop the crate. As I said in the OP, it will often leave the map by flying over the airfield, and not drop one. The fact that it's happening on two different maps (Scourge/Survival) leads me to think it will be a common problem on future maps. This is a vast amount of great loot the servers are missing out on, and I hope Death or a dev can get this message.

I notice that the Chinook is also bugged on AU Survival

Same

I noticed we get 10 dollars for every scientist, but that's the only time my $$$ went up besides selling stuff on Black Market. (same server)

I'm not sure if anybody is taking my bug report seriously, so I recorded this video of me flying around the map for 13 minutes and not seeing a single animal. No wolves, no boars, no deer. I've now spent around 50 minutes total just flying around looking for any animals. Like I said, I killed one deer at airfield. Anyone that watches this video will see this server is bugged and not just a normal everyday experience on Scourge. I hope someone will investigate this. Thanks.

There are no pigs or wolves spawning either.

I spent around 20 minutes flying around the map again, looking to kill anything. I found one deer at airfield, and that was the only animal I saw. Zero polar bears or brown bears, hogs or wolves.

I used to love farming the excavator scientists back in the day for fishing poles, so I would always build my base nearby. I usually build in the desert. The random rumbling of the Excavator running never bothered me, but today it runs nonstop. The Giant Excavator often determines where I live because I can't handle the sound of it's loud rumbling 24/7, since it went 'instanced'. I already asked if the devs could lower or turn off the volume, and the answer was 'no'. I wonder if you can't turn off instancing on the lower pop servers like AU or JP. Look at the new map for wipe tomorrow and the prime real estate that will be subject to Excavator rumbling nonstop for a month. Normally this huge lake would be peppered with bases. I'll monitor bases around it this wipe, but I certainly won't be building near it. Instancing the excavator really adds a potent form of noise pollution over a wide area. I believe a solution should be sought. The green circle represents the approximate area of the loud rumbling sounds. That is all. Chinaski

This matter is over and settled. Thank you.

Amazing that three of your admins including Cyberbunny have no memory of helping me re-establish my TC atop that rock in the photo provided. I'll move to another area, because I respect RustEZ admins, always obey their directives and try to be a respectful player. Good day.

Just check the time on the TCs in my area to understand what this griefer is doing here. Pretty simple.

What you wrote is absolutely not true at all. The previous day, three different admins visited my base, determined this player was griefing me, removed their TC, and told me the TCs I had placed were perfectly okay. Three admins have already determined this player was griefing me, and have already settled this case. After they settled the case, this player somehow removed the TC that the three admins helped me reclaim. It seems that these three admins were not even consulted with, as they could tell you this player took over my area by removing my TC. I would like one of those admins to come in and tell me why this griefer is still being allowed to grief my area, as all three are very knowledgeable and sensible, and understand what happened here. If griefing players with TCs and floor spikes is okay, and shooting at other players is okay, and figuring out how to remove other players TCs and killing, robbing and destroying property of other players is okay, these rules should be updated on the RustEZ website. Until then I will play by these rules with my neighbour, seeing there is no punishment. Thank you very much, Chinaski

I don't mean to be bothersome, but it's now day three of wipe, and the player that first claimed land on your server is still being griefed and blocked from building by the same player that has been griefing me and preventing me from playing on your server since the start of wipe. Here is an aerial view of my base in the exact same area on AU Survival. You can see my TC was placed atop the rock so I could build there. This land now has the griefer's TC on it. I need every one of this player's external TCs removed before I can begin building and playing on your server. I hope my other TCs do not get removed by admins or this griefing player. I cannot play on this server until this complaint is settled and this player's TCs are all removed. I'm handcuffed right now by the griefer that shot at me, killed me, robbed me, and destroyed my entire base.

How can a player remove my TC? I figured they lied to an admin to get it removed. I thought that would be the only way. If the player somehow removed it, that's an even more egregious event. I just assumed an admin removed it for them. This player knows I was there first because they griefed me. If they told an admin anything else, that's lying to an admin.

Please make sure the EU Survival team is aware this player griefed me twice, lied to an admin about who was there first in order to remove my base. This killed me, erased my base, and deleted all my belongings. This player also shot at me. If these are all against the RustEZ rules, I expect a harsh punishment, especially for lying to admins. Thank you, Lord Yeoldmort.

Last night, I had to call admins on EU Survival, because my neighbor griefed my main base by placing a TC so I couldn't build. Three admins came, investigated, checked everything, clearly saw the player was griefing me and removed the TC. Later on I saw the same player griefed my base with spikes, and again, I had to report this to an admin. I never even asked the payer's name and told the admins I didn''t care. I was going to be a good neighbor. I replaced my TC after they left because my base was no longer building blocked. As I was the first player on EU Survival after wipe. ALL my TCs were placed before this player's TCs except the one he forced me to move by griefing me. I signed in to EU Survival just now, and saw I died and my base was gone, and my griefing neighbor took over my area. As I was looking around, the player began shooting at me from his base. Really a nice person, I'll tell you. Finally they came down and tried giving me something and I told them to speak to me in chat so it can be recorded. They refused. I told them to remove their TCs near my area, and pointed which ones to remove. I told them the admins already had two griefing reports on them and I didn't want to have to report them. They remained silent and refused to talk to me. The last thing I want to do is cause trouble on these servers, but this player and his multiple attempts to grief me out of the area I claimed just minutes after wipe (I teleported to HQ quarry) is beyond the rules of RustEZ. I never reported them after their griefing last night and I regretfully report them now. Again, If this is resolved per RustEZ rules, I am happy to live next to this player and will be perfectly amiable to all my neighbours. I would, however, ask that this player be banned for 8 days so that his base and multiple TCs are allowed to disappear. They can rebuiild after that. Thank you, Chnaski

One more thing I wanted to mention is like I already stated, I claimed this same area of land on a different server. After doing so, I saw a player building on shore near me. I approached them to say hi, but they kind of backed off me. In chat, I wrote, "I'll pull my two TCs near your base", and proceeded to do so, opening up a huge area for them to expand on. You can check the chat logs. Should be the first thing typed in chat this wipe (EU Survival) That last thing I said to them in chat was "neighbor", showing them I was friendly and just trying to let them know, I had no problem with them building there.
