to the people that say the reason private hives became popular because they could do anything they wanted with it is mostly a lie, they became popular because of hackers, private hives allowed the admin to monitor their servers better and allowed them to clearly see who was hacking and who was not. I hate admins that used private hives to create "admins areas", spawn loot & cars, it ruined the whole experience. In my opinion for private hives, the admin should have NO database access. but it would be close to impossible to do such a thing.

I wouldn't say well into the beta, i should think that the files will be released when the server files and the game have been rid of serious bugs. And when rocket is confident that their database servers wont blow up.

The reason they are doing so is because they dont know the exact system specs for the servers so they have high end hardware in them so that they can see what the usage of the servers are. Once they know what the minimum specs for a server are and as time goes by the server software will be optimised the price will come down.

From when rocket said he was going to make DayZ he said he would use a minecraft model to develop the game. Minecraft was in alpha/beta for years and it continues to grow. The same will likely happen with DayZ. Im with what the other people here have said. if you dont like it then dont buy it, simple. Or go play the mod.

Saying that the game is balanced as it stands at the date of this post is ridiculous. The weapons are unbalanced and catered to those who want to make it more realistic than a sandbox game should be. Who says that we cant fins an AS50/M107/L85 thermal if a zombie apocalypse happened. Saying that we should remove chopper crash sites as they are everywhere on dayz in real life you would hardly find a crash site. Look at minecraft, there are all sorts of mods for the game, you have modpacks such as feed-the-beast and tekkit. If we respected the makers of the game we would not have such great mods for that game. The same goes for dayz if we respected the creators we wouldnt have breaking point, origins, taviana ect. My point being if we had control over the items in the game, each server could cater for a certain player base. As an example before i closed my main server down i had people that wanted the retro dayz back, when you didnt need to worry about all of the crap you need to worry about now and you had a good choice of weapons with reasonable rarity on the spawns. but it wasnt possible. Anyway it would benefit a lot of servers and bring back some old style players.

I agree with Zane, at the moment there are hundreds if not thousands of dayz servers, go through dayz commander and you will find around 40% of the servers empty or with hardly any players. I wanted this feature added back in December. http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/109686-vehicles/ Not exactly the same as what the op requested, but it allong the same lines. I stopped playing dayz around 4 months ago because of hackers and because it was getting repetitive, there was nothing new in the game. If anything things are getting removed from dayz, i preferred the dayz back around a year ago. You didnt have to worry about getting infected from blood bags, didn't have to boil water ect. If WE private hive owners had the ability to control what we want on our servers, we would bring back some of the old style players. It people like Lady that get features and items removed, such as the l85 thermal, and the as50. They are OP weapons but, they were rare. Rocket even mentioned in one of the dev blogs that in the SA there might have thermal weapons or one shot kill weapons but they will be super rare like 1 in the whole world type of rare. If server owners had the ability to control their server, define the banned/blocked weapons and the loot tables, it would open up a whole new world of opportunities for players and servers. I say that we should have control over the banned weapons,vehicles and such. So that we can bring the retro dayz back.

Its a sad day when you loose an as50 that you have had for around a year.

Any news on when the next version will be out?

you do realize that you can do that in the mod already...

Where will the keys be given out? And will server owners have time to prepare to switch/move to the stand alone? As I would like more info on that. Really want a beta key. Looks so good, all worth the extra wait over Xmas up to when its released, then the scramble to see what's new happens :D and good riddance to international hotel bambi killers

I run a private hive server and i know the temptation to just look for the location of other players but at the end of the day if you constantly do that your players will disappear same goes for servers with hackers. Unless the serve admin deals with the hackers players will go away. As for the admins using hacks, get evidence and report it to battleye in the chance that they might get global banned.

Not having a good time on that server?

Gotcha anti hack does NOT auto ban for auto aim...look up the features on their website, from what I can tell you are unfamiliar with battle eye and its ban codes, and with what gotch anti hack does it and for teleporting and hacked items. I suggest you read up on what battle eye and gotch anti hack does. Here's gotcha about page http://www.gotcha-antihack.com/index.php/about-gotcha

You seem to take great offence when someone claims that you banned them for killing you. Also you haven't seemed to backup your reply to the player that got banned by Gotcha anti hack. Just a note on what i read. EDIT: Just scrolled down a bit and saw 2 posts that had a similar story to this. Also sorry if i'm not meant to post in here. A second note, Gotcha antihack does NOT bann people for script restriction #37 that is dayz anti hack. And it is not for auto aim...its for crashing a chopper as the OP suggests from another thread. Sorry for bringing another thread/post into this.
