Its a PBX boat. The guy in it went over and mowed down the survivors...

I've just started recording some DayZ videos and after recording a lengthy session on a local UK server we decide to hop over the Atlantic and try out a US one. I have to admit, there is a massive difference in atmosphere when you play on different continents! Please, please, please give me some feedback on these videos and whether its worth me doing more and in what direction you guys would like us to take! e.g. Do I speed up the parts with no shooting or do we keep everything in, etc?

I'm gonna make an educated guess and say that these private hack companies make a shit-tonne of money from these bypasses. Taking this as given I would say that they have many backups and alternative methods ready for when they get detected. The only deterrent is that the people paying for hacks don't want to buy another copy of Operation Arrowhead.

Its a hacker using scripts.

I'm getting lots of global bans showing up on my server and a few regular players have contacted me to complain about being global banned. I think its safe to say that a lot of assholes were hit by this wave!

I also get this error and I think it has something to do with the latest beta update / battleye update. The short term solution is to login using the chat box. Once your in the lobby type "#login pass" into the chat box. You can also use bercon gui to admin the server from outside the game without getting kicked.

Hey guys, So me and my friends have been playing dayz for a while now and have pretty much done everything there is to do in Chernorus. We decided we'd had enough of our current characters and that blowing ourselves up with satchel charges was a great idea. The second idea was to record our journey back to the north. Whether its a great one or not, I will leave up to you!

Kinda part 2!

The bumbling about, learning the game etc is the best part of dayz at the moment. Once you learn all the towns and the best way to survive it gets a little dry. Which is why I think you find so many bored players sniping new spawns down south.

Aye, I've watched a lot of videos going through mechanics and what loot is good, controls etc etc. I thought that watching a group that knows exactly where to go and what to get would be interesting and different. In the 20 mins of the video you can see we pretty much have everything we need now for our journey north. The rough plan after chernogorsk is: - Elekrovodsk loot hotspots - start heading north via the best towns - Stary Sobor and on to the airfields - Where to look for helicopters and camps - Where to look for vehicles and how best to go about repairing them

Its set to -3 GMT so it gets dark around midnight, which in our opinion gives a good middle ground for people who can only play after work etc. Were recording part 2 (and most likely parts 3,4,5 etc) tonight so there will be some more videos up this weekend so you can see how we get on.

Thanks for taking the time to watch it. Are you being sarcastic? And believe we should try to be more friendly on our travels? Or are you genuinely enjoying us taking out others as we come across them? We do not attack unarmed players btw. That's just griefing in my book.

After having lived with the new way of admining through the ACP for a week or so I've got a couple of comments for John and Lee. Overall, the new system is awesome and you guys have done a great job of making sure we can fiddle around with all the settings and not piss off the devs in the process! Can the time changes be reflected in the server name e.g. [GMT-3]. I'm adding it in the "hosted by" section at the mo but I think it should be grouped in with the difficulty tags. Can we have an option to choose the time-outs on the MOTD & make the MOTD longer. Currently they all flash up before people are actually in the server and are completely missed by players. I had it set up before so that 4-5 messages would show 5 mins after entering the server and then 10 mins later. You can do this by adding blank lines to the MOTD.

Arma 2 servers crashed a lot before dayz added extra ALPHA features on top and the requirement of a BETA version of the game to play. The servers crash, a lot. Get used to it.

Added to my server. Hopefully it will help!

Side chat is needed so that players can admins when there is an apache blowing up chernogorsk. Until there is a way for players to talk directly to admins, or for admins to monitor players activity then it needs to come back.

I PM'd him weeks ago. No response.

+1 for Vilayer.com Friendly, stable and easy to update servers. Been with them nearly a month without issue (apart from problems with dayz itself!)

I have personally never gotten a reply from the DayZ team regarding anything. As a small group of mostly volunteers I would imagine they are constantly swamped with requests like yours. As I see it, you have 2 choices: 1. Wait it out and hope that a dev will whitelist you. Reports are that this takes weeks. 2. Change hosts to one that already has whitelisted and updated servers available straight away. E.G. Vilayer.com I hope you get it all sorted though and once you are up and running, feel free to ask any questions on configs etc.

+1 for Vilayer.com Cheapest and best IMO. The servers are in Luxembourg but I get around 30 ping in the UK and zero lag.

I host a DayZ server for these reasons: 1. I want a stable, updated server for my clan to call home. 2. I want to contribute to this project in the only way I know how. 3. I want to give 40 more people a place to play on a hopefully great server, without fear of being banned, kicked or abused without cause. 4. I understand and agree to the rules set by the developers. Whatever your reasons, if you don't agree with no. 4 your going to have a bad time because those rules aren't going to change anytime soon. If you don't agree then don't host.

Mumble or TS3 would be a great thing to offer to players on our server.

RE: Comparing BF3 servers to DayZ When hosting a battlefield 3 server (I personally host 2) you agree to EAs T&Cs. They are very restrictive as well and include not being able to limit weapons used, and not banning / kicking players for no good reason. Its just impossible to police, so they let it slide.

I block by ping only. Discriminating against location or language is a big no no in Rockets eyes and I agree.
