many thanks AmberHelios > we'll give this a go :)

The latest Beta patch 103718 isn't available on DayZCommander. It's has been the latest iteration for a good while now and our server updated to it last week; but it resulted in a loss of traffic :( . Can anybody please explain why it's not been released; or has it been delayed pending the release of 1.7.7?

Thanks for replying Fluxley - many thanks.

I'm hugely impressed by the way you guys have addressed the shortcomings of the previous patch: you are undertaking an extensive testing period and are listening to the community too; plus I think you may well have the balance just right re: zed's reactions/behaviour etc. Have forgotten Cangate totally.

[uPDATED] Release [v0.741] Namalsk 1.7.6.1 Hardcore. Update to 0.741 and filter IOGC in DayZ Commander or use 188.138.122.37:2303 No 3rd person. (Switch off headbob ffs) :) No crosshairs. No tags. No death messages. EVR and Stalkers are active. GMT-6 Standard loadout/vehicles with a few tweaks. Dedicated hardware (Data Center based) with robust anti-cheat protection: BEC and Ant-HAx. Active Admins. Live stats that show your humanity: http://iogc.co.uk/stats/namalsk/ (if you die your stats get wiped). Note* Currently offline atm. Any issues like lost gear, suspected scripters etc, then posting on our forums you will get a quick response. There are extremely few servers who opt for this mode - only the toughest or most deranged survive. Our connection is solid and we have players from North America, Western and Eastern Europe. We've been hosting games for 6 years now, with a focus on military sims (not exclusively - we play anything good) with Arma being at the forefront. We have our own TS server, website and active forums at www.iogc.co.uk. We'd happy to have you onboard if you like the look of us - always looking for non-idiot mature new members to play on Namalsk. We age from 18 to 57.

Notice** We updated to beta patch 103718. Unfortunately it's not available on DayZCommander yet, therefore it may be a bit quiet for a bit. Gear up!

Ramdisk.. tried it before I upgraded.. not worth it tbh. Walls of text aren't great btw.

Griefers combing the beaches for fresh spawns are pretty much lowlife though.

I am just hoping there is a bit of variation in the SA ie: does every single building absolutely have to have zombies spawning all the time there? Be nice to creep up to a barn and breath a sigh of relief that there is none. Next stop over the hill and the place is hoaching with the bastards, so you decide to avoid the place.

Upcoming patch: * [uPDATED] - Zed spawn timer to 5 mins from 2 mins this should allow an area to be cleared of zeds before more spawn.

I know that a guy who plays on our server lives in RL Elektro. Our own server is Namalsk though - maybe he just wants to get away from it all.

If he's moving away from you, or you meet him away from any buildings like on the beach, then leave him I suppose. If he's close to a building, then drop him without hesitation... he may just get a gun in there.

Getting killed by a stupid bug everytime. That's my worst moments - especially on a character with a bit of time put in to him.

I agree with Fluxley58 above. Solo is incredibly immersive - played my first 2-3 months like that. With no savegame feature you truly are on your own; every thing is precious - every encounter with other players a heartstopper. I'm glad I started playing the game that way. If I'd picked some clan and joined it from the start, things wouldn't have felt the same. However I'm very happy that I did pick one eventually as team play is great fun, especially if the players you are with are good.

Backup and at 4/5ths capacity atm. Join in if you want to try out the level playing field that is 1st person Hardcore.

Namalsk. We have wiped the database. Apologies to everybody; we will all be starting from scratch. The reason for this is because the database was injected with a very clever script (thanks you social retard), therefore it was too corrupted to recover.

I thoroughly recommend a game called the WarZ. It was in no way, shape or form copied from DayZ and is regarded by many as one of the key games of the 21st Century. Honest.

(TMW)HerrJon, Serious Stan is correct (and thank you). It's a compiled map of where people have been over the course of maybe a month or 5, I don't know... and I don't know who made it either, but I posted it here as it was pertinent to the discussion. By the way it is cool to have a signature image that shows what clan/community you're from. We're currently pulling 40 to 50 players on our Hardcore DayZ Namalsk server atm... I think we're allowed to advertise ourselves a little bit in the community. Sheesh......... talk about uptight.

. Were 50/50 players on 30 minutes ago.........

Great story OP. Yeah, those killer glitches are pretty shit, but don't give up hope. Play a bit more and you'll be avoiding those bugs a lot better - you just learn. Painfully yes, but please bear in mind for example I had a char going for 29 days way back in May-June, and I was just 2-3 weeks in. Back then the bugs were a bit worse :) (why they are still there is no-one's guess).

This has been posted many times before (HT to the author), but FYI here it is:

Most I survived was 29 days on a busy server - living up North and West, sometimes not seeing anybody for days. Loved the experience. Was very lucky to survive the firefights I got into. Wouldn't play that way again though (that was last May-June).

Update: 47/50 players on at 4pm GMT today!!!! We tend to be busiest around that time. Restarting more regularly to cope. (Damn IE 10.. why am I underlining my text???)

Still getting great traffic. Maybe people are trying out 1st person Hardcore mode to see if they can do it without having periscope/crosshairs on. Roll on the standalone. :)

40/50 on atm ...wtf!
