If you have been hosting DayZ servers for any length of time you would know that from day one of the mod being released server admins had very strict rules they had to follow if they wanted the server to have access to the public hive. If or when they release a public hive then you can make any rules you want but while you are connected to the public hive you have to follow the rules they put in place. They have blacklisted servers in the past and I am pretty sure they will do it again.

Shoes - Do they actually give any movement/ stamina benefits - Not yet, but different types give different benefits when it is implemented Combat helmet - Does it give any actual armor rating or protection ? - Yes, depending on the damage, we tested M4 on a pristine helmet and it stopped the bullet Gas Mask - Does it really do anything ? Not sure, I would say see the shoes answer Face Masks- Same question as combat helm Not sure, I would say see the shoes answer Hand tools- pliers , screw driver, hammer . have yet to be able to repair anything See the shoe answer Rain Jacket and other type clothing - Aside from storage space to they add weather protection ? Same as shoes, You will need warm clothes when it is cold etc. If you have no raincoat you will get wet and then sick. Bayonets- Can they be used in melee if so how ? not used one yet There is a lot of stuff that is in game but not finished yet, means some exciting times ahead.

Epidemic server has been updated with some big changes. More details can be found here: http://www.outlawzgaming.com/index.php/topic,30.msg95.html#msg95

Shameless Bump!! Servers are running nice and smooth and we have begun work on adding new cities to the maps.

Our Epoch server is now up and running! So far we have added: Remove ClothesTrading Cities safe zonesTrading cities backpack protection (nobody can access your backpack while in trading cities)We are in the proccess of working on custom bases and cities for the map and a completely custom mission system! Beyond that we won't be adding much more, we prefer to keep it as close to vanilla as possible but we will always be open to suggestions and will add things if we think it will benefit the community. Don't forget this is a completely new database so now would be a good time to join and get your base started!

We would like to invite all players, no matter what your play style, to join us on our servers! Currently we have a DayZ Epidemic and DayZ Hunting Grounds server and we are preparing to launch a DayZ Epoch server very soon, we are just waiting for the Dev's to release the latest update because of the big changes coming! We will also be doing a custom DayZ server aswell once the Epoch server is up and running. We don't rent our servers, they are all run on our own dedicated server so there is no overloading which just causes to much server lag! We have a good group of active admins who are always willing to help players out when needed and I can guarantee there is no admin abuse at any time! Once we start getting more members we will also be starting to do some weekly community events, things like Battle Royale or ArmA 2/3 coop missions etc. For more info here is a list of links: Main website: http://www.outlawzgaming.com Server Info: http://www.outlawzgaming.com/dayz_servers.php Server Rules: http://www.outlawzgaming.com/dayz_rules.php Admin Info: http://www.outlawzgaming.com/dayz_admins.php We look forward to playing with you on our servers!

Sounds like they have installed BEC with the lobby idling feature activated but they have messed the timings up on it, possibly 5 seconds instead of minutes or something. You will need to contact the server admin or wait for them to fix it.

I agree totally with OfficerRaymond that the best thing to combat hackers is checking the log files and updating the filters. Another good tool is http://www.opendayz.net/threads/pybescanner.131/ it scans log files and takes the action that you define.

You may be waiting a long time then, community mods won't be allowed for a very long time after the initial release, if they allow them at all.

Probably a couple of weeks!

I agree! I have space on my dedi box just waiting for this mod!

Just noticed this mod, and more specifically the name of the mod! I noticed you are you using dayzaftermath.net I am the owner of dayzaftermath.com, I registered it last year for a project that was later abandoned. If you want the .com you can have it if you like, for free, or I will accept some beans but if you must twist my arm then a place on the closed beta! Just contact me and I will transfer, it is registered on Godaddy. P.S. the part about closed beta was a joke!

Do you intend on having Breaking Point private hive options when they are released on the 7th?
