Ok, so iv heard about these database wipes a lot on the forums......im starting to think its just players falling foul to the servers that are having problems staying connected to the hive. Just logged in a few mins ago and my guy is still there, gear and all. Hes gotta be over 2 weeks now...maybe 3. Anyone else still going? And if it is this then get those safe servers bookmarked people ;)

Or, like me, find a "home" server and just play there. I find it a lot more rewarding knowing all my gear came from there, not from 10 different ones lol. Looking forward to private hives...especially now that the server owners wont have access to the server files :)

I think clothing should be the primary loot in residential buildings (that, food and junk items), but (and im sure there will be) hundreds/thousands of variations. Would be nice to have the zombies wearing the stuff we can find aswell, or maybe blood stained equivilant :)

Ironicaly i dont use a country tagged server, though that is good advice, Iv been on Fox company gaming since i started on SA and its been fine. Defo recomend that server, though im sure most are OK :)

I would like to be able to drag and drop multiple items at once, packing a new bag is a chore atm. But then again i suppose moving stuff from 1 bag to another would take some time IRL.

I think the Kos problem will go away by its self as features get introduced. As it is now theres nothing to do after, you have got all geared up except go and hunt a player....or look for loot you dont need. When base building comes in people wont just be running to the high traffic areas looking for a kill. They will be roaming round looking for cars or base building supplies. Then they will be off building bases in secluded areas, or moving around the map looking for car parts. Sure they will still Kos, but a town where players spawn wont be the only entertainment after gearing up. Making bases degrade over time would maybe be a nice way to keep the player working. Say you log in and a rip has formed in one of your tents. All the cloths inside are now damp, and its starting to effect other loot inside it. Now you have to go out and find a new tent or some duct tape to repair it.

Arent the wiki audiable ranges just for alerting zeds? I know its that way on Dayz DB.....the range for an m16 says 80m....and thats right for zeds hearing it. But you can hear an m16 shot in mod, as a player, from other the opposite end of NWA.

Basicaly i just want to hear what people think about each. Iv heard hybrid can be slightly faster....but that source .... well ... maybe not too reliable (salesman) :) So whats the daddy SSD or Hybrid? Any tech knowlege about hybrid would welcome, I had never even heard of em lol

Thanks guys, think il stick with my SSD then :)

look at the server numbers, 1st are de-populating already and 3rd still packed. Like medic says most are just silently happy with the game. Plenty of level playing field space in those 1st servers...no need for 3rd to be competitive there ;)

Cars....already....patience man! lol :)

There was always the problem of bandit groups just sitting by a town. Letting the zombies hit em a bit, then a squady uses a bloodbag. Rince and repeat for hero skin. As for the "sanity" stuff, dunno. It does have potential but it would have to be done very carefully. I could live without it happily though.

Never in all my time on Arma 2 or Dayz have i encountered that (and i got alot of hours logged) . Sure thats not lag, or they didnt just see ya with free look? Any links to show this happening?

Its the apocolypse, we should be able to tear anything. Your teeth would get you going on most coats then a firm rip to finish it. I dropped my knife in the jungle once, not dropped and walked away, dropped right in front of me on the floor.....could i find it....not a chance. 3 more days of undoing, and cutting basher cords with my teeth....proper pain in the ass but i got trough fine. Maybe jeans would be tougher, but stuff like a raincoat you could have a torn rag in a min or 2.

Wait, They already said that with the hives running off a "shard" of the databse then the server files wont be accessable so they carnt mod it. I HATE modded servers.....but i love private hives......theres a big difference. Your topic seems more aimed at abusers of admin rights or mod servers. The concept of the private hive is brilliant, solves all the issues metioned by gibonez. And has a lot of other advantages. Community - You get to know players better, who are the bandit groups....who can be trusted, and who to just avoid lol. Everyone gets bored a bit in dayz endgame and knowing all that info you can really have some fun. Pranks on friendly groups, trading, shared camps. Consiquences - So you attempt an ambush at a camp in the forrest. The opposition gets the upper hand, no logging out now because if you do they will know exactly where you are and be ready. Also trashing a camp used to get around a server quick. Little bargins that were made to leave camps alone are suddenly broken....then when you all realise you got pretty much nothing left the bargins start happening again. The public hive was always a flawed concept to me from the frist time i heard how it worked. Remember asking a friend "so can we just join this server with noone on then go to the 60 player one" ....answer "yep". Next day i started researching private hives. Found a great 10-20 player vanilla z hive. Best time i ever had on dayz was on that server.

Having a minority detrmentily effect our game experiance because they are not happy with what they have been given (which is pretty much what they wanted) is shitty. You want thousands of people to change how they play bases on a vocal few. If third dosent make sense this great thing came out.....its like dayz....except its first person only....and you wont have a negative effect on thousands of players. Its exactly what you want and no 3rd person players. You have your game i have mine. Enjoy yours dont try to ruin mine.

no advantages anymore....SEPRATE HIVES....next question...

And there we go again.....1st or leave....whats with you people. Want to punish players that are enjoying the game perfectly well without the bieng forced into 1st. Our impact on your gampleay experiance, with seprate hives - NONE Your impact on our game play by pushing this agenda - HUGE You are being greedy as hell, you knew 1st was a niche, the mod proved that....the SA is doing a good job of proving it aswell.

Because now your on your own hive with no 3rd person users.....whats the problem.....why remove from the other servers aswell??

Hmmmm....on the fence. I like the idea of having something on vehicles and players. But the lore has to stay. No "spray" style stuff. I prefer the idea of them being ingame items that you find. Just like serenity said, find patches, then a sewing kit. Stencils, duct tape and spray paint to do something on a car. Gives something else to do when your bored at camp. Also had a great little idea of sneeking into an enemy camp and respraying all there logos lol. We used to do pranks like that on my old private hive. Once while they were offline me an the guys moved all 12 admin vehicles to the opposite corner of the map....then held them for ransom :D

Carnt you all just wear the same colour beanie, or shirt. Not sayin i dont like the idea BTW.....just we can sort of already do it with cloths.

But WHY are you arguing this when you have the facilities to play the way you want.....you are basicaly trying to enforce 1st view and therefore force players to play that way. Basically...i want to play in 1st Ok have a hive with first servers Nope not good enough, we want no 3rd atall. (even though thats what 90% play on) Carnt you be happy that you got first and let us enjouy our 3rd miles away from you where you carnt be affected by it. What really is the proble when it wont effect you?!?!? And its PROVEN you are the minority.......just look at the server numbers....PROOF!

Good man KoS....I gave in to the dark side :(

Dirty DayZ DB ers! *guilty face* Done it twice so far when i was completly lost....always felt like id cheated right after lol

Indeed it does.....dont know why there seems to be so many EU servers compared to US ones. That is unfortunate, but c;mon, its not a reason to do away with 3rd. Thats like a cinema saying "Dam everyone is going to Avatar....noone is watching Mary Poppins....I know lets just screen Marry Poppins"......Most people will just go to another cinema to watch what they want.
