nuked for the first time. Need a safe place to play.
beastoverlord replied to treecancer's topic in Mod Servers & Private Hives
I am surprised that all the first posts didn't include people advertising their private hives. Nice job guys! -
Less military guns. I completely disagree with more assault rifles.

Getting that youtube monayy
beastoverlord replied to TheBarbaricWalrus's topic in Clan / Group Recruitment
Nice videos. Good luck with that man. -
Things you don't want to see in DayZ posed as a suggestion
beastoverlord replied to DutyOfCare's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
It is a military simulator... Have you ever walked through the woods on a moonless night? -
Everyone shoots me on sight.
beastoverlord replied to Undead Knight's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Find some friends to play with. When my squad roles up I'm pretty sure most non-hackers/clever people think twice about opening fire. -
Bandits, safe zones, death penalty, item spawning, zombies suggestions
beastoverlord replied to DaedalusIan's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
8. Safe Zone Area Imagine this, you’ve been out fighting zombies for the day and you’ve got your bag full of some useless loot that you don’t need. You also don’t like fighting in the dark. A Safe Zone would provide players with a place to rest, regain blood, get medical attention, pick up a group and even sell some of the loot you’ve gained from scavenging. A trading mechanic between players would also be a nice addition and would let players who find something useless, trade it with someone who would have some use for it. I'm not sure if you are just trolling or not... (I feel you are because of the bounties/safezones/saving gear/etc) but if you aren't, here's my answer: Once you play DayZ and then WarZ, you will realize that safe zones SUCK! I am a part of the PCGN community and play every day on their community server. I'll have to say it's an okay method, better than WarZ at least, but I feel it makes the game less fun. The whole point of DayZ is that thrill of knowing you will lose everything, which leads into this: Quote 5. Less Severe Death Penalty The fact that if you get shot in DayZ, you don’t come back alive, appealed to some people whereas some opposed it. The major downside of it was that you could have an entire days, week or even month’s hard work completely wiped if you made one little mistake. I believe a better death penalty should be introduced, one that is not as severe as the old one, but one that is still enough to stop people from rushing around, losing their heads and going in all guns blazing because there are no consequences. I can’t think of what it would be, but the penalty for death in DayZ should definitely be less severe. This is stupid... The 'thrill' of DayZ is that at any moment, you may die and lose everything. Right now, all of video game culture points towards progression and achievements. I've even taken a class on using this progression and applying it towards things outside of video games "Gameification." This may work in some ways, but until you play DayZ you will never grasp the great feeling of knowing that everything is just fleeting. I feel DayZ is much like our own real lives. There are no save points, no real achievements, and in the end, does it all really matter? I feel DayZ was the first game that I have played that has grasped this feeling. Basically, don't make judgement on a game that you haven't played. This game is as successful as it is because they did something right in its development I feel that most things that are in it work, and many things people have suggested wouldn't work. If I could save my stuff and there weren't as big of penalties I don't think that I would enjoy the game as much. -
Rocket quiet over holidays...
beastoverlord replied to Ovation's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I really hope that your second language is English. Anyways, I think that they are cramming and trying to get it out before the end of the year but I would not be surprised if they delayed the launch for another month or so. I look on the forums every day for an update post but don't see any. I'm unsure on whether this is a good or bad thing. I do also believe that they are trying to hide as much as they can from copiers. WarZ is an excellent example of people who have the capacity to work fast and copy other's work. -
Pain Killers are tight but......
beastoverlord replied to Glimmermang's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
You can find porno mags on the ground in-game already... All of those "newspapers and magazines" that are littered through Cherno? Yeah... some of that is porn. Go look. :P -
Good luck... I feel that this has been done a million times already in many shapes and forms.

Dealing with spawned-in vehicles - How to remove?
beastoverlord replied to Timb's topic in Mod Servers & Private Hives
Wait for a server reset or destroy them. -
The PC version will be far dead before the console version comes out. We are talking about YEARS here if the console version comes out. The XBOX 360 and PS3 will be long dead before this. I think most everyone who originally played DayZ will have either moved on, or will continue to play it on PC.
-
Plane?? I know it is possible to get it on private servers now... but how did you solo get a plane without clan support?
-
My private hive as two of these spawning. A camo one, and a tan one.
-
I'm pretty sure they are releasing in an alpha state... so why would they need testing before an alpha? I think they are already basically letting us in early. I'm happy enough with what they are doing now.
-
If you kill all zombies at any given spawn, more will just spawn. Make sure to always leave one alive. Additionally, the FAL is incredibly loud... thus it will summon EVERYTHING.

Me taking down three bandits for a SUV
beastoverlord replied to Skat3rat's topic in DayZ Mod Gallery
You sniper needs to take shots earlier. The second he sees a stopped player he should just shoot. Additionally, your teams needs better teamwork. You guys got way too angry at another during the firefight. If you chill out more, you will find yourself doing better. -
Please someone do something about Vilayer
beastoverlord replied to Audio Rejectz's topic in Mod Servers & Private Hives
Why would you play on their servers then? I played on them for a week until I decided that they sucked and I move on. It's not like someone is forcing you to stay. -
How did you know he had the NVGs, GPS, and entrenching tool? Anyways, my clanmates and I all have those with the addition of other rare stuff and none of us are hackers.

Hello there! Are any of you looking for a great private server to play on with a great community? The current server I play on is awesome but we need more people to play! Currently we have: 3 resident clans Extra vehicle spawns 4+ helicopter spawns A larger NE airfield Additional buildings on the map A neutral trading post with designated merchants This is currently a whitelisted private hive and I would love to have more people to play with on this server! There is an awesome amount of rivalry between the clans and we have everything from our 3 large clans to small groups and lone wolves. If you are looking for a hack-free experience along with a bunch of mature guys feel free to join! You can be by yourself or bring your clan and see what you can do. Private message me for the information on how to join! NOTE: I do not have any ownership of this server nor can I guarantee your membership. I am merely someone who joined a month ago and have been loving it! It would be awesome to have more people share this great DayZ experience.

You can't just leave? I feel like remaining on a server with a hacker is quite similar to feeding trolls with continued responses. But anyways, that sucks about the cheater. I hope he gets banned.

Hourglass on all servers, all player profiles
beastoverlord replied to timini's topic in DayZ Mod Troubleshooting
Is this hourglass truly endless? I've known someone who thought that they got hacked but they simply kept logging off while still in shock. -
They took it out on purpose.

Banned from US 303 (not hacking)
beastoverlord replied to Nwoswat's topic in Mod Servers & Private Hives
Restriction 54 is a battle eye error... some choppers randomly self-repair and battle eye will think you are hacking and disconnect you from the server. I've had this happen on my server numerous times. The admin ban is separate from the battle eye error. -

Sounds awesome! Too bad I'll be busy that day. :( -
Looking for a Great DayZ Community?
beastoverlord replied to beastoverlord's topic in Clan / Group Recruitment
Please private message me as said in my post. Only people that are genuinely interested need to know. I would say most are from Eastern Standard time, but we have quite a few in the EU and the west coast.
