    I have a new server up that caters to new players, like myself. It gives a starting loadouts to make things easier. It's currently 24/7 daylight but I was thinking of making it day/night, and the players start with NVG's. What do you guys think? Is this something that new players would enjoy? I know that when I first started, I didn't like the idea of a night cycle because I didn't have any way to see, but with NVG's, maybe it's better?

    What do new players prefer?

    Uncle Zed replied to Uncle Zed's topic in New Player Discussion

    Thank you again for all the input, guys. It gives me a lot to think about.

    I know the day/night cycle works according to the GMT setting, but do the days get longer/shorter as the year goes on, like in real life? Shorter day light during winter, longer daylight during summer, etc?

    Day/Night cycle question

    Uncle Zed replied to Uncle Zed's topic in Mod Servers & Private Hives

    Ok, that's what I figured. Thanks for the replies!

    Military flashlights is definitely something I'll consider. I assume that doesn't make you as easy to see as a regular flashlight?

    Do you know what times sunrise/sunset are?

    Uncle Zed replied to Uncle Zed's topic in New Player Discussion

    The idea behind my server is that it's focused at the new players, not hordes of bandits running around killing fellow players.

    I've set my vehicles to 250 and I added a whole bunch of vehicle spawns, but when I join the server there aren't always vehicles there. Are the spawns random? In otherwords, I can create the spawn and there's only a chance the vehicle will spawn?

    What server ?

    Uncle Zed replied to gingermonkey's topic in New Player Discussion

    First, check this forum and read about the different servers that are available: http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/forum/64-private-hive-discussion/ Next, as someone else said, use DayZ Commander, and then just look at the server names. It usually says important info, like the server time if day/night is enabled, and if you start with anything.

    Still Really confused about which servers to use

    Uncle Zed replied to gingermonkey's topic in New Player Discussion

    You can look for servers that you like in this forum: http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/forum/64-private-hive-discussion/ I've got mine set to start with some basic items that will let you get started, but you've got to scavenge if you want to survive.

    Uncle Zed replied to Uncle Zed's topic in New Player Discussion

    Well, the intent is to make it a little easier for those of us that are new to the game. I found it very frustrating when I spawned on a server and had no weapon at all. I love the scavaging idea behind the mod, which is why I only give basics and the player has to get the rest on his own, but I do think NVG's would be good, IF I decided to have the day/night cycle.

    I'm relatively new so I'm not sure how much of the post I can comment on, but I can say that I haven't joined a single server where I was killed at spawn. I haven't even met anyone hostile while playing the game yet.
  13. Uncle Zed
    I was just on my server and when I press "I", it shows myself and someone named "Tailer" on my server. Looking at Gotcha, he's not on the server. Is this a bug?
  14. Uncle Zed
    This was resolved in IRC. It turns out I had to sign in with the password "password" instead of the one I selected in the sign up process, so even if I had "followed the Paypal signup process", it wouldn't have helped. An automated email with instructions after the payment was received would be a good idea. My server was up and running for over an hour before I knew about it.
  15. Uncle Zed
    Ok, thanks for the reply. Just waiting for it to be installed. :) *edit* "Instant automated setup (seriously instant)" ? How long is "Instant" because I haven't gotten an email with information on my server yet.
  16. Uncle Zed
    I just ordered my server in Dallas. If I want it moved at a later date, is that possible?
  17. Uncle Zed
    No one wants to answer me on IRC, so I'm posting here... any idea when new server will be available? I want to rent a server but they are all sold out.
  18. Uncle Zed
    I installed the mod and joined a server. Three or four times I was killed before I could get anything. I read the guide on how to play. I understand about sneaking around, but no matter what I do, there's zombies everywhere and I can't get near anything that might have items in it. Maybe I'm missing something? Maybe I joined a server that has larger numbers of zombies? I'm not sure.

    I must be doing something wrong...

    Uncle Zed replied to Uncle Zed's topic in New Player Discussion

    The part about the buildings... most buildings I find can't be entered... I expected resistance from zombies, but my initial experience isn't very good. I thought I'd have SOME chance at getting into buildings and getting items, but I just can't see to do it. I was able to get into one building and I found a couple of small items there. I started with a crossbow on that server but I couldn't retrieve my bolts after I shot them, or at least I wasn't doing it right... guess there's really a huge learning curve.

    I've got the game set up. I have to head out for a little bit but would like to be added to the whitelist. The in-game name is GrossKopf.
  21. Uncle Zed
    Sounds pretty cool. Another server I'll have to check out after I get everything installed! I'm pumped! I can't wait!
  22. Uncle Zed
    Sounds like a cool server. I'm reinstalling Arma 2 right now (haven't played it in a very long time) and I just picked up OA, so once those are installed as well as the mod, I'll PM you with my in-game name and check our your server!
  23. Uncle Zed
    I already had Arma 2, so I bought Operation Arrowhead from Greenman Gaming with a 30% off discount code, for less than $9. *edit* Oops, now that I read the whole thread, I see someone already posted this code. Oh well! :)
