Why DayZ sucks

I'm going to document all of the annoying errors I get while trying to join a custom DayZ server:
Addon 'dayz_anim' requires addon 'CA_CommunityConfigurationProject_E'
 From what I could tell, this was caused by not loading DayZ with the beta patch.



I received this error from opening the Expansions menu in DayZ:
 No entry 'bin\config.bin/CfgMods/VILAS_RW_Forces_CO.dir'.
It seems to be from Vilas's Eastern Weapons Pack. When I enable it and restart my game, it is promptly disabled after the restart.



When I try to join the custom server I want, it gives me this error:
You cannot play/edit this mission; it is dependent on downloadable content that has been deleted. gnt_c185
Before installing DayZ Epoch Panthera, it was:
You cannot play/edit this mission; dependent on downloadable content that has been deleted. asc_eu_lights
When I close these popups, it errors out with:
Include file z\addons\dayz_code\system\BIS_Effects\init.sqf not found.



A forum post suggested that I should copy the contents of Arma 2 to Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead. I did that and now receive:
No entry 'bin\config.bin/CfgWeapons/BAF_L85A2_UGL_Holo.BAF_L17_40mm'.
These errors never end...



It's four days later and now it's time for more errors:
Picture z\addons\dayz_code\gui\mod.paa not found
But I finally got DayZ to work! I had to uninstall the Arma 2: DayZ Mod entry that I had in Steam, make sure its folder was removed in Arma 2.

Worst Gaming Organization of the Week: Koality Gaming










So I posted a completely reasonable ban request on Koality Gaming.

http://akoalitysite.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=642

In synopsis, I told the admin that I believed two innocents were traitors, killed one and attempted to kill the other. The admin obviously misunderstood most of what I was saying, and even failed to read the damage logs correctly:
I believe you misread the damage logs:

[quote="General Butthurt"]I'm going to be very honest here, I really don't care about your opinions about how I should run the server. I'm not going to run the server in a way that allows rdmers to stay around for awhile while I wait for karma to do things. I also prefer having people make the decision, not a computer. [b]You killed an innocent and then tried to rdm a detective.[/b] You're not getting unbanned.

Thread locked[/quote]

I tried to kill two innocents who I thought were traitors. [b]I did not try to RDM a detective, I was a detective.[/b]

Please reconsider your decision,
PatPeter
I would highly suggest that no one plays on either of their servers.

Worst Gaming Organization of the Week: Defused Gaming

Right now, I am on "Defused Gaming | Public TTT Server | 1 hit knife" (66.150.164.62:27015). Last map, we played ttt_airbus_b3, probably one of my top 3 Trouble in Terrorist Town maps. Two rounds before the end of the map, a player named ichimo (STEAM_0:0:45118624), who is also an admin, activated the first emergency exit exactly when the round started. I called him out for it. Peppermint Jello (STEAM_0:1:48392931), another one of the admins on staff, decided to slay me for calling out someone doing something traitorous. I missed the last round of my favorite map, because I called out a traitorous act. Admin abuse at its highest.

ichimo was a traitor, by the way.



Update: Half an hour later (8:30pm), I am still playing on this server, except it is on ttt_community_bowling_v5a now. ichimo once again admin abused, killing my traitor buddy and then threatening to prop kill me. I hastily tried to defend myself, but I find it somewhat suspicious that the admin targeting both of the traitors...
