Yes, i didnt mean it as critisism, I was making a statement how private hives now actually keeps me and others playing. Its not your fault, the mod in itself is amazing. Hackers and the open engine is at fault here. But also the lack of end-game content, too avoid the feeling of "same old same old". Maybe keeping a large player base isnt that important, maybe I and others, should just take a chill pill. But I guess I care too much about the mod to not speak my thoughts.

Played on private for a looong time, rocket made some statements long ago that he was against private hives. And quite frankly, i didnt care. If i had stayed on public, i wouldnt be playing dayz anymore. Hackers and alt+f4 ruined the public hive concept. Many private hives implement anti alt+f4 scripts, more anti-cheat methods, and other additions to the game. Simple solutions that for some reason isnt viable for public hive, im sure rocket has a good reason for it. The lack of updates lately have made many people loose intrest, the lack of end-game aswell. Dont know how dogs will change that... If i were rocket, id focus on the standalone, and implement end-game content in the process, dont realese any update to the current mod. The private hives will keep the user base steady, with their own content update.

During that day we encountered a enemey chopper([GANGLAND]) numerous times. Some fire was exchanged and some damage was dealt and taken. However this video is of the last fight, they had ran out of bullets, and we were out for blood. Nedless to say, we were victorious. I was the pilot, the one filming was the gunner on the left side. //[N.W.A] Robba Qott

I wouldnt still be playing DayZ if i had not moved to a server with a private hive and passworded. The hackers kill this game, sooooo hard. Now i play without worry if the person infront of me is a hacker or not, and if i die, i know i died legit. This has made me want to play dayz again. Also no more ALT+F4 as they cant join another server to save themself. Scrap the hive system until standalone. Thats my advice to rocket.

Found a hacked M4 Holo SD inside a tent camp north west of novy sobor (cords: 080 075, sort of).. Didnt dare to pick it up, and dont know how to get in touch with the server admin, so il just post it here. Tried to grenade the tent, but missed my a inch or something, anyways its still there last time i checked.

Pro dude! you are totally badass shooting those ppl!! Totally got some balls, i mean some of them even had a weapon!

Met you guys today, if you see this thread, please contact me.

The name was M4A1 Holo SD, it was silenced and had a m203 grenade launcher aswell as a eotech holo sight. Ye didnt want to pick it up, afraid it would show in the logs.

What chipdemon said. This happens alot, when joining low pop servers (3-4 ppl), i often get kicked by a mod.

Anyone know what happened to LU24 ? We found a Ural with tons of guns (M107's, AS50's, L85A2's, Tons of M4's with SD amongs them, ghillies, etc etc etc). Then we moved it to our camp, and transfered some of the stuff to our main server. Later the server isnt to be found anymore. Is the server renamed or gone completly? google gave no results.

I unsubscribed, long time ago i watched the videos, but havent bothered unsubscribing, but the Dayz Vid, tipped the edge :)

Same problem for us, a tent worked fine for like 2 weeks, inside a pine tree, now it has moved from last server restart, and is now raised like a little of the ground, and i cant access it. been 2 server restarts, and nothing has happened. Also our car has moved from one side of a pine tree to another... weird.

I have no problem with new players(of any kind), if anything i want this mod to grow huge, rocket deserves that, the mod deservs that, its awesome. The thing that annoy me, is the way the mod was presented in the video, it was aweful, i think its disrespectful to the mod, to not show the game, just goof around in it, without a care in the world about what the game is. I think everyone thinks that DayZ is not as it was presented in the video, along with teleporting/admin abuse is annoying.

I have a L82 with the thermal scope, looted from heli crash. Its pretty good yeah, although its about to make me go insane. Its usable by day, and since i got it, ive been a designated spotter, but its so hard to tell whats a player and whats a zombie/animal. I see animals all the time now, and everytime i get paranoid and think its a player. Thus making me scan the surroundings even more. Id say Nightvision googles are better, cuz you have a wider view, but if you are unsure if a player is behind the bush or not, a thermal is godlike

Nice of you to hunt newly spawned unarmed players. Sure must be rewarding. But anyhow, really nice shot.

ye the backpack eats it, if there is no room, sometimes the backpacks bug out and shows -slots. ei. -4/20 So watch the numbers. And also check so that the item fits the number slots thats empty. Some tools take 1 slot in the toolbelt, but alot of slots when in a backpack.

Date/Time: 2012-06-25 What happened: 2 of our 4 man group died by trees. Thats right, trees :).. Prone moved my feet into a tree in a hill, insta death. Same with the other guy, diffrent tree thou. Where you were: Hill with radiotower, east of NE airfield What you were doing: proning, watching, moved a inch closer to the tree, dead. *Current installed version: 1.7.1.5, ARMA2_OA_Build_93965 *Server(s) you were on: Norway 2 *Your system specs: i5 2500k, 8gb ddr3, GTX570, SSD *Timeline of events before/after error: NULL

In real world, we have CPR training, we have portable defibs etc. We have people around us, able to help out. Im thinking a system that encourage cooperative play, a system were we can actually save someone who is dying. Lets take this scenario (from this night): We are 5 people raiding NE airfield on Norway server. We have 2 snipers/spotters on the hill, while 3 ppl run and loot the airfield. 1 random guy shows up, manages to shoot one of the snipers, then i shoot the random guy. Our sniper dies instantly, no way we can save him, in any way or form. I want a system implemented for such a scenario, were you are in a group, and the group can actually help out in life and death situations. You would need a medkit to be able to use CPR, has the heart stopped (we already have heartbeats, use this to indicate if the player is far gone and need a defib). You would need a defibrillator to jump start a stopped heart. if the player is saved, he would wake up on 500 blood, he would need bandages, painkillers, morphine, bloodbag, epi-pen. Thus reviving someone takes a lot of supplies and cant be done all the time. All this needs to happen quickly(ei a quick timer of some sort), you are under pressure, a sniper can pin down someone and make it impossible to save someone as an example.

Yeah i carry a M107, looted from a crashed heli. Sadly the heli didnt provide me with any ammo for it. And ive spent 3-4 days now, searching airfields and deerstands, aswell as another crashed heli.. still no ammo for the damn thing :). Im just unlucky, cuz i hear its 1% chance in every military loot spot/military zombie. Just got to keep looking i guess :)

yea i killed a bandit with like a m107 and some other stuff inside a building. second he died, the body vanished, could still hear the flies thou. I reconnected but still the body was gone.

This problem is not about starter gear or not. Its that you can run from zombies without risk. I did the same before, you spawned with the makarov anyway. You shouldnt be able to kite zombies all day long, thats the problem.

I play coop with a friend. We kill anyone at sight, not because we need the loot (we are fully geared with heli crash loot and everything), but more because the fact that we actually have that loot. We have something to loose, more often than not, the survivors we meet, doesnt. Or they want our nice gear. Also soo many survivors doesnt listen when you communicate with them, mostly through direct chat, they ignore it, dont know if they play without sound or whats up with that. There is no trust, and will never be a trust in this game, unless there are some serious penalties for killing a survivor. If its reality we are after, we need a concious, we need a system that prevents the instant assinations of survivors. Sadly such a system i feel is impossible in a computer game. contrary to what ive just said, we actually made friends with some survivors, this took alot of patience and alot of communication, and a leap of faith (when we felt a death would be okay). "pardon my english, its not my native language"

I like the concept of paying less for alpha and the price goes up, it rewards players who test the game out. But either way, in its current state, its the best game experience ive had in a long long time, so given that, i would be willing to pay full price titel money for it (when bugs and major issues is fixed that is). So 40-50$ or something. But as rocket said, pay what you want kind of deal, i would love to contribute to rocket and this mod, and ensuring the continuation of its development and that the servers keep on running.

While i agree, I think its essential that you get to kill in self-defence and not be punished for it. How you should make that work, i have no idea.
