We have a new server and are trying to build a player base. It is a public hive server if you want to check it out. Any question just jump into the discord chat, as I am at work.

Picked up a public hive server and trying to build a player base if you would like to try it out.

Well put up a server, U.S. Westcoast. Looking for mature gamers to populate this server. Additionally, anyone that could provide feedback on how the server functions would be awesome. Please join us. The server was rebooted just a few minutes ago and might be running night, please let me know, I can change the time and reboot if anyone wants to play. http://www.gametracker.com/server_info/198.46.138.114:2302 Discord https://discord.gg/FrxEQkY Steam Group http://steamcommunity.com/groups/SoLPHX#

So do barrels hold items through a reboot?

So it has been awhile since I played but is there base building and crates or something to stash items now?

I think the scarce amount of food and ammo is awesome! It makes the game much more realistic in my opinion... so I guess you are not speaking for me ;-). Just the other night I was dying from food poising, I had one chance and that was to check the Cherno medical facility. Luckily the right loot, spawns in the right locations! I found what I needed with a little over 1500 blood! The same goes with starving or getting sick, having to actually look for items to help your survive is part of the game. Oh and move inland!

Sorry, didn't mean to post it twice... issue with my browser.

Not sure if I have posted a thank you or not, regardless I will make this quick and to the point. Thank you BI team! When I originally purchased this game, around its release, I was extremely disappointed considering it was not even as good as the mod. Development was extremely slow in the beginning and I felt scammed. However, over the last year it seems that development has really picked up and the game is starting to come together! I am happy I still own the game and able to play it again. Even a few of my friends will be picking it up. The changes are amazing and looking forward to the future of this game. I am not sure what changed internally for your team but keep up the awesome work! We are even thinking about getting a server again for our small group. -ShallowTech

Currently we are renting a server through ViLayer. Recently, since posting on the forums about our server and fair game play, we seem to have had a few hackers on our server. Currently we are gathering information and watching the servers but I am having a little trouble with displaying a full list of player ID’s. I am assuming the player ID’s that show when a #UserList command is run, are some type of GUID. Is this correct? Additionally, I have done a screenshot of the current list of players when pressing P. Is there a way that I can pipe the #UserList to a txt file, so that I can get a full list? Additionally, if there is someone that I want to ban because I have proof of their cheating, does the Ban.txt work and what is the format/syntax to use? Thank you,

The Sons of Liberty, DayZ PHX server is a West Coast server that a few friends and I rented through Vilayer.com. The server has a max ping set to 120, which keeps the latency and desynchronizing at a minimum. Additionally, the server currently is set to reboot every two hours and has scheduled notification to warn players of restarts. Typically, we see an average of between 15 and 30 players on our server, depending on the time of day. Obviously, this server is more active during the evening. We try to administer the server the best we can, keeping in communication with players if possible and maintaining fair game play. I am the only admin with full privileges and we do not abuse our control of the server. We only ask that everyone play fair and encourage cooperation, communication and mature game play. Additionally, we do not discourage KOS or PvP but enjoy friendly game play at the same time. If you are looking for a server that encourages honest gaming, please join us.

This will be the last month our server is up, the final day will be 8/11/2014. Please join us this month for some game play. Thank you, ShallowTech

We have changed our settings back do to loosing a lot of our player base. Currently we are running at 9AM and the server reboots every two hours. This actually seems to keep the server performing well and more players seem to want this configuration. Thank you, Ryan B.

Hell yeah, you know exactly where I am going with this! Kill moves if you are able to sneak up! Of course they will need more zombies but it would be awesome.

Okay, moving to 4 hours dropped the number of players significantly, we are going back to 2 hour restarts but just around sunset. If you have not seen the sun set in DayZ jump in and check it out. :-) There is not dark, just sunset and dusk... You can find the server by IP and port. 23.19.47.18:2302

Agreed, I would like to stab a zombie in the head and then step on it to pull my bayonet! Maybe not every stab but have some of them stick ;-)

Nice brother, i did not even know you could do that!

I found this in a google search ;-) Not sure how old or if it is updated but you can research that yourself. http://imgur.com/LDEgoKG

Yeah... sounds like a bug to me ;-)

I wanted to update everyone, we have been seeing some random reboots on our server and we are not sure why. The reboots are not coinciding with any schedule. I will be opening a ticket with Vilayer to address. It might be a little time before they get back to me so we are going to the default 4hr restart and I will be changing the time of day to 4pm to 8pm... this will add a small amount of night play. Please give us some feedback on this. Thank you to all the players supporting our server.

I was thinking about doing an early morning to midmorning, then it would have to reboot after four hours and that would make it night again... I noticed some other servers doing this. What do you think about that?

They need to implement longer wait times for when you switch servers and then come back to a server, to prevent ghosting. This is the only real problem I see with server hoping. Additionally, they need to have logout time delay, say 20 seconds or so, to prevent battle logging. We had some fool login on us at NWAF, he was on the firehouse tower and tried to snipe us. As soon as we started shooting, he logged and then we think he came back in and ghosted one of us. I watched him wall glitch from inside the fire station tower to the ladder. Funny though, once he was on the ladder I lit him up and he dropped! ;-) The guy had all kinds of pristine gear, 2 storage containers, a decked out AK47, about 8 or 9 mags, MP5, etc. Oh it was so great killing someone that exploits.

+1, admins should see a full list of player names and associated player ID's as well.

Yeah there is actually something screwed up between Gametracker and our server host... not sure how I am going to resolve it with out loosing our gametracker stats but our host page says 2302 and game tracker says 27016... But in DayZ i have used 2302 to find our server. Oh and thank you.

Yes but think about it, if you were trying to survive in an apocalypse, you would probably try to setup some type of power. Maybe some houses could have generators, to power the lighting in just that house but requires gas or runs through gas. Power plants could power towns but require some type of schematic to get working, etc. That way when approaching a house with lights, you know someone is around... ;-)

Well there are those out there that are going to cheat but it seems that there are a lot less cheaters in this game then infestation stories (warz). This is probably due to better security, server hosting rules, limited CLI and central hive. Cheaters are f'ing lame as hell... I just do not see the point in playing a survival game if you are going to cheat. I watched one video of some dumb@$$ cheater trying to justify his cheating because he was not very good at the game! That is like a professional saying that he is cheating because he is just not good at what he does... BEC has caught some cheaters on our server and we do our best to monitor. We had a guy wall glitching on our server the other day, I killed him, checked his pulse and got his name. Of course his name can be changed so you can not ban unless you get his player ID ;-), which is kind of hard right now but hopefully this will be fixed soon. I do not want cheaters or exploiters on our server and we do our best to keep them out.
