Yeah and broken as hell. It's too laggy for me to enjoy, I always have to wait 4 minutes to bandage. Everyone I played with stopped playing it because of the lag, which is caused by the mod, not by servers. A good mod is Origins. That mod has some cool stuff in it. And Balota Buddies is a good server too.

Yes.

This. You can buy a house, but in America at least, you never truly own it. Paying for a server is saying "I like this mod enough that I will pay for an ArmA II server and as a privilege from you (devs) to me, I will host the mod". It's a /privilege/ that you can host this mod. There were tons of public hive servers before all these private hives popped up and there powers were severely limited. Now all these spoiled server admins think they should be able to abuse their powers because its their server. Don't get me wrong, there are private hive servers out their that do it the right way, but a big majority are just people with money to spare and a thirst for abuse to quench.

I feel... different.. after reading your story. A hint of insanity. A mild sprinkle of madness. A ton of "wut".

We, as a community, have sadly shown we can't handle the ability to have kick/ban features and access to server files. There are few servers that I've seen that can handle the powers given to them. Letting any random get a rocket server should not be allowed. Clan run servers should not be allowed, I don't care how "proper" and "mature" anyone's clan is, one guy is all it takes to ruin it all. 2nd biggest problem in DayZ, behind Hackers, are abusive admins. Easy to eliminate this: take away the ability to host servers. But, I know this wont happen, as DayZ would die without servers run by children. I just wish DayZ staff would only let the servers that proved themselves worthy in hosting the DayZ mod well the opportunity to host the DayZ SA. It shouldn't be as easy as: - grab Mom's Credit card - go to some site you googled - type in info, order server - abuse the fuck out of your powers Even the sites that host DayZ servers for people for a charge are rip offs with no customer support.

Read the first few paragraphs and had to give you beans. Not even done with it all but so far it's amazing.

I don't know why it took so long. Every zombie game that's been good lets the zombies immobilize you in some way, like grabbing. The animations a little off, but it's a mod and there's very few assets to choose from. I agree with you.

I'm confused. Are you running a server for you and your friends and you need DayZcc for some reason? Or... ?

What the hell is DayZ Control Center? If it promises to run a single player server for you and your friends for free, for the love of Rocket don't download it.

This. Also, don't snipe on popular spots, like the hill north of Electro and Cherno or Stary Sobors sniper hill, people always run those to look for spawn campers. If you want to really be a sniper, join a high population server and get a good view on a commonly visited place. Like, if you're scouting out Stary, instead of approaching from the South like every sorry soul does, approach from the West. Good tree and bush cover plus a hill that overlooks the camp at about 800m out.

Just add in default ArmA 2 females. They can't carry guns or drive cars... They can still cook my beans! *flees*

I just listened to the guys in the background and it made me laugh. "For the birthday we stayed up till like 12 singing happy birthday to him." Woah! Calm down guys, don't get too crazy.

First two posts are advertising your new server. Good start.

If anyone has seen State of Decay's melee system, that's a good example. The ability to stomp/rifle butt/smash a zombie's head when it's knocked down after a few hits of a baseball bat or a kick would be cool.

Why couldn't you just love him... He just wanted to be loved..

From what I see, he's successfully created "WarZ" styled servers. Great..

Have you really tried every server or just one or two? Script restrictions are usually server side so I'd suggest trying more servers or reinstalling the new update.

Does the timer restart with every change? Because then really dedicated trolls could change their name every day or 2 days.

Short and sweet version: A background story. Longer version: A background story would help with certain game mechanics (spawning, loot rarity, vehicle conditions, starting supplies, etc.) because if its been years, that applies to mechanics mentioned. Cars are out of gas/scavenged. Loot is rare, guns even more so. You'd most likely be a survivor, a good one, so you'd have, say, a tent, food, a pistol, and fire making tools. If its been days/weeks (which I personally prefer), guns are basically everywhere, since we can assume the military/local police were wiped out and they'd gave guns on them/at their bases. People haven't completely looted every house and supplies are abundant. Cars would be everywhere and most likely working. It's really not too early to ask for one either. I mean, there's really not even one for DayZ, and with how big it's gotten, that's surprising. If there's already one and I'm just embarrassing myself.. Meh. Edit: Grammar.

You're not going to be getting much players by doing this.. http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/140223-addmagazine-restriction-blablba-why-am-i-getting-kicked/#entry1377183

That would stop idiots from saying "I'm here ad going here" on sidechat, wouldn't it?

IMHO, PvE servers ruin the point of DayZ. Players are and always will be the biggest threat in DayZ. By eliminating that, you end up with a CareBear adventure with savage zombies added in. Albeit zombies are a bigger threat in 1.7.7 than previously, players still have one vital advantage over zombies. A brain. If you don't like the idea of dying and having to start over again, I'm baffled as to why you'd want this game. (I use "you" as a pronoun to describe the audience, not just the OP)

Easy fix, don't spawn guns. Boom. Fixed.
