Main hive, everything.. mk48, as50, m9sd, nvg, rangefinder etc To bad im not going to ever play again on the main hive, since it usually ends in a couple of min with me: flying, someone shooting me from behind in a empty room, my char just drops dead in the middle of nowhere in the middle of the night with only ~5ppl on the server, i meet someone that can take ~100rnds from my mk48 in the face at point blank whitout dying, a car just happens to be hiding behind the tree i just passed in a empty forrest runs me over etc I just got some serious bad luck when playing on the main hive. :D

At the end of the day it always comes to what makes youre boat float. I can agree, that servers with "100 vehicels and all weapons you can dream off" sounds boring. What im talking about though, is far from boring and a totally modded version of Dayz, its like vanilla dayz on some serious steroids. It certainly makes my kinda boat float even if it can be very.. challenging at times.

Yes, but it have its flaws, my personal opinion though. Since admin/modder is VERY active, settings/spawns/loot.. everything is constantly tweaked. Overall its very good and a challenge once again.. for example, zombies can and will kill you if you dont pay attention.. Infact.. this paticular private and very.. modded hive have so many new and different features that vanilla Dayz isnt even close. Its an american server, google and search in dayzmod.com/forum is youre friend ;P

Word of advice, well known exploit is kinda enabled again. Playing on a public hive is probably a death sentence until(BE can handle it properly again) next banwave from BE.

One of the servers i currently play on, have no thermals, a couple of new mlititary camps, extremely reduced droprate of as50, its possible it got disabled, no nvg:s, lots of new types of crashsites, all with new loot. For example.. i just love my sa58v acog. Ive seen a couple of new vehicles aswell, some kind of helis, ive seen atleast 2 new models and.. a couple of apc/armed cars. I like it, its like playing a new game, it feels kinda complete.

Allmost exactly the same approach for me, except.. i dont try to avoid the killing. If someone yells FRIENDLY like a girl, in direct, i often choose to let them live, guess i need to work on that..

Best way to gear up, get a Enfield/AKM/AK74 or something, take position near high value target, wait.. loot! Started on a new server yesterday, ~40min later i got a alice-pack, m14aim, as50, allmost all tools and a m9sd. For the record, i used to explore/find my own stuff, but.. after ~20+ teleports into the sea/air and ~30+ ppl shooting me in the back, coming from nowhere, i rather play high and go for the good stuff more offensively :D

Pro tip regarding crashed heli, chekitout from a distance with binoculars or you will miss lots of loot thats going to appear hidden, when you are close, cause of ground vegitation. AS50, m107, m14aim, mk48 mod 0, ammo for all and a ghillie. I keept the AS50, mk48 and the ghillie :D

Ive realized the same, ppl using third part software can pinpoint my tent(s) even if i placed em really constructive (aka just 5cm of the tents corner is visible and u need to stand on top of it) Its much more rewarding and easy to set up a ambush and kill well geared ppl than to put serious time to loot the stuff in its spawnplace. Killed so many in the last days that ive need to make paper notes of killcount/server :D I would prefer the other way but reality say something different.

Hi During the weekend ive got massteleported into the air a couple of times and meet alot of ppl that moved incredibly fast and seemed to know my position all the time. Ive meet a couple of guys that could take 60 rounds, point blank mk48 or 5 nato rounds into the head and they just keep rocking.. best part, they was firing back and agroed litterally hundreds of zeds, the zeds kinda run into an invisible wall and died when they got close to them though.. It didnt seem to make any difference if it was a private hive or the main hive, little or very populated server, Lingor, Cherno or even the newest ones, "they" where present anyway.. End of ranting, im kinda used to the flaws of armas open architecture. My question is: To minimize the posibility to meet ppl of the above category, what kind of protection should i look for when im looking for a server, except the obvious, active admins..? Gotcha? Antihax? maybe something else? all of them? Best regards Kane

I had a server i managed to get 41 kills on. Yes im looking for trouble, had my close encounters where raging squads tried to hunt me down, saved by server restart a couple of times. Fun ended this weekend, when i meet loots of ppl that seemed to know my position all the time and they finally got me. End of story. My best advice, must be for you to have/get a really good irl friend to team up with.

Gonna check if its fixed as soon as im home. How fantastic as it seems, some of us have a strange habit of "working for their living" during daytime. :D

Think im gonna try youre server, kinda tired of loosers. It seems to me that you treat them properly.

Same.. after update i got randomly kicked, game simply freeze or it freeze when i try to access any kind of loot. It all started after last BE update to version 1.177. Never had any problem before this update, tried to reinstall, checked settings, turned of overlays, simply everything i could think of.

Same, started after last Battleeye update.

There isnt any reward to let ppl live. On the other hand.. if you pop a fully geared player you got the hole package. (nice mainweapon, backpack, tools, maybe a nice sniper etc)

Maybe u got something here, ive hit a guy on a motorbike ~700m away, ~4 times(body) and he didnt die. I was using a DMR. Got shoot yesterday with a m24, from about ~300m and i lost ~5k blood. I looted an m24 after ive killed him with my as50. Perhaps DMR/m24/m14 have a serious dmg drop at increasing range.

Close to mid range, M14 or Mk48. Sniping, DMR or AS50.(AS50 is kinda to cheezy for my taste) The optimal setup for u would be: M14, DMR *Edit* i tend to focus on pvp, so my loadout often reflect that fact. :D

SAW, for the looks and useability.

Just try to avoid hotspots before u got some gear! Ive got like a pattern how i move and play if i just spawned, get away from the coast, go check the first ~5 deerstands closest to you, visit a market up north for backpack etc. Lingor is kinda different, there u got military loot in minutes, choose the approach u like the most! Personally i get a gun, like anything that shoots, set up an ambush, get complete loadout from my first victim :P

Zoomlevel 2 = keypad "+"

In ~3 months: Hackers ~20+ (teleported into air ~5, server nuked ~3, teleporting/immortal/maphack shoot in the back ~12+) Legit players ~5 (firefight, sniped etc and sometime both me and my killer died) Zombies 0 Thirst/hunger 0 Killer door that ambushed me 1

AS50 is better in every aspect except the looks. To bad you wanna use it and therefore it isnt a question.. keep the AS50!

M14 was my former favorite, but then a Mk48 mod 0 entered my life.. Mk48 rapes evrything, cars, choppers, bandits, survivors. 100 round, aimpoint, high dmg, full auto = i win.

I carry one right now, cause i feel bad about throwing it away. Prefer to use other weapons, even if its OP. I hope Rocket make tin cans of this and as50.
