I actually just found that as well! Sounds great but their webpage to get yourself whitelisted is down. Man, what a shit night for DayZ for me. :( Edit: Wait, there is hope! The server is down for the UK one, or at least balotabuddies.com is down... followed the links in the thread you gave me and I'm at least at the application page!

DayZ commander has a function to hide all non-main hive servers, so you won't see them if you're going for main hive. Incedentally, I am looking myself for a private hive to play on as I was just hacker killed for the 2nd time in as many days, and I've just had enough. Bye bye hero skin! Yeah, Skype or TeamSpeak is fine to use... the game has built in Voice over Network, but no one likes to hear 20 people all talking at once about random stuff.

Firstly, you should get a teamspeak server going so you can all voice com even though you're all spread out across the map. Additionally, all the spawns are along the coast so you have a reasonable chance to spawn relatively close to one another. When you spawn in, it tells you in the bottom right of the screen where you are. You have to pay attention because it only happens on spawn in. Use an online map to orient yourselves until you have an ingame map. I would say however, that the goal of your first night playing together should merely be to all group up, it could take a couple of hours to manage that. Welcome to the game and good luck.

Good luck! This can work, it sounds like you have some decent measures in place already. Since people are posting examples of events gone bad, here is a funeral in WWIIOnline for a guy who passed away irl. There is no way to drop guns in the game, so everyone has weapons and are fully loaded. No one was a dick and it went off without a hitch. This was back in 2005, so please excuse the terrible graphics.

To tweak this one a little, always keep at least one morphine in your main inventory for fast leg repair. You never want to fiddle with the backpack when your leg is broken and other players or zombies are about.

Write the name of it down on a piece of paper. Write the name down on a .txt file on your desktop. Use DayZ Commander's recent servers function. Use DayZ Commander's favourite server function. :thumbsup:

As well intentioned and thought out as these arguments are. I am not in favor of it. This is like asking all the cars to be made manual transmission and require a clutch, gas, and brake pedal in order to drive them instead of just pressing W for "go". With as much paranoia and distrust in this game, you're expecting people to find a helicopter, spend quite awhile repairing and fueling it, and then hand over the keys to a complete stranger... the only person around who is capable of flying a hardcore simulation level helicopter that they've been essentially forced to have to recruit solely to fly the around? I've not played ToH, but I have watched a few vids, and if the Standalone were to ever implement helicopters in the way they are presented within a hardcore helicopter simulator game, they would risk turning off a huge amount of people.

Hot damn... in-thread support! You don't get any better than that!

I've actually never seen a helicopter while playing DayZ, imagine that? Not once in months and months of playing. I can't imagine they'd take the sim style heli modeling from ToH to be in DayZ SA. Rather, I think they will just be using the engine itself, being more refined and probably alot better optimized. Potentially they would keep the ToH weather elements since they too would be more refined and possibly be better able to affect your character more. Maybe wind affects bullet travel and makes you colder or something like that.

Those patch notes need to make a little more sense if they're being posted as some form of information about the future. Was the author in a rush or something? :rolleyes:

Um, why not?

If you were able to see your humanity through some kind of monitor or debug window then you were on a private server with who knows what other rules applied.

Just for DayZ. I'm not really a fan of modern military sims, I've always been more of a WWII tank sim guy myself. I had tried the demo a couple of times on recommendations of my friends, but always decided against the purchase. Iron Front: Liberation 1944 (which is on the Arma engine) came out and I picked that up, and the dudes I was playing with kept mentioning this DayZ mod. I remember asking if it was a daisy picking simulator.

There is no way to check your humanity level except the clothes you wear.

Because his very next post after we help him fix his situation could be "h4HA sux0rz, 1 4R3 g0nna H4XX u 4Ga1N". Nobody cares to give a cheating internet stranger a second chance.

Peace on Earth and goodwill among men. Merry Christmas from me as well.

Best thing to do is stick with a teammate or crew of people. Performing all of that medical assistance on strangers will take forever. Keeping well-stocked on medical supplies and healing your buddies through the course of normal play will find you in a hero skin before you know it.

Hi, Can someone explain how to do this? On DayZ Commander I have downloaded the Panthera map. I put Panthera in the search window and get no results. I unticked "hide unofficial" and get no results. I cleared the search window and just scrolled through a normal search and saw no Panthera games. Clearly I'm not doing something right. Help?

DayZ is a hellova drug.

Precisely this.

Congrats Dev Team!

You'll need to have Operation Arrowhead too, so look for Combined Operations, which is ArmaII and OA put together. It's also on Steam sale.

The standalone should be out within the next month or two; it is taking longer than initially expected. To play DayZ now, you should pick up the Arma2 Combined Operations bundle which is on sale on Steam for $17.99 iirc. Then download DayZ Commander, which will help you download and install DayZ itself and get you playing easily. DayZ Commander links can be found in the general discussion section. Presumably the southern hemisphere.

Ah hah! That drop down didnt have like a downward arrow on it so I didnt even consider clicking it. How terribly nooblatory of me. Thanks bro, have some beans! :beans: :thumbsup:

You're welcome. How about some beans? :emptycan: :(
