Hey there! I JUST got banned on UK101, the one with 40 slots which is hosted by =IMPI= and not the 50 slot one. I have no idea why I was banned, I was just happily driving around in a car with a friend when suddenly the server crashed for the second time today. So I tried to get back in and all I got was "You were banned". I have no idea why this happened and I am unable to find any contact to the server owner :-(. All my friends are on this server and we managed to find TWO cars, I'd really hate to give this up. Please contact me on the matter, I really want to start playing again! ID: 17617478 Name: H@buster EDIT: I reconnected my internet, verified the integrity of the game via Steam, verified the mod with Six Updater, restarted my PC but nothing helped. Whenever I try to join it gives me "You were banned.". And if I retry a few times, I can't see the server in my list for some time - Instead, I see a red X and no additional info where it should be. One of the admins please help me with this, I want my car back! :( This seems to be the server page, but it has no content AT ALL: https://sites.google.com/site/dayzdandconfused/

No, beta client update requirement looks different. When there's a version difference, you can still see the server name and everything, including the version it requires. My version was up to date yesterday, I shall update to the newer beta today though. Also, I sent Rocco a PM. Hopefully this'll be resolved now. PS: Spawning in the middle of a town on my own is something I don't like, especially when I have to write down a line of text that disappears after a few seconds. EDIT: Rocco said he's looked through everything but the scripts. He didn't find anything that said I was banned yet, still working on fixing it. Also, my guys just found/stole a motorcycle ONTOP of the two cars - NEED TO PLAY :D EDIT2: Everything fine now, although noone knows why and the other guy got banned O_o

Today, I was scavenging with two other guys. After ALMOST dying a few times to mean players, but getting together all the gear we wanted, one of us had to go. So then it was just me and the guy I regularly play with. We were near Berezino, looking at one of the grocery stores from the hills, seeing someone shooting some zombies. We watched him for some time, and saw he had a buddy with him, too. Right as we were about to log out, I looked through my binoculars again.... Just a few houses down the road from the grocery store was something blue.... It had wheels... We got in closer, and I checked on the wiki. It was a S1203 van! As we got closer to the car, so did the zombies. And right before we got close enough to get in, my mate saw two guys, probably the ones from before, near some appartments. Hastily, I hopped into the driver's seat, waited for my friend to get in and then drove off honking the horn a few times and laughing manically in teamspeak. After some time with the car we managed to get everything together to fix up every part of it again, even got glass for every window. The car is now hidden, waiting for us to return to pick people up and probably drive through cherno playing loud music.

Thanks for taking the time to bring us this great stuff! I think I might have found a bug, though. Found/stole a S1203 van. The hull was lightly orange, but applying scrap metal did not change it any further to green. The wheel damage might be wonkie, too, didn't thoroughly check that though, need 8 tires for that (4 to change each one, 4 to have backups JUST IN CASE). Might be connected to the vehicle having about a dozen wheels, or so it says.

OP, please stop making such stupid generalizations. I bought ARMA 2 just for this and I'm not one bit what you described, neither are the other people whom I play with who bought it just for this. I used to play COD (before it went downhill after MW1) and I spent lots of hours in BF3. I played L4D as well, but I DID NOT expect this to be a fast paced game. I even wish the server I go to most often was 1st person only (because 3rd person is cheap as hell). I don't even know how people would get bored with this quickly, there's so much to do! - Finding a secure location for a camp - Finding and patching up vehicles - Finding NVGs (still haven't found any in >70 hours :-/ ) - Stalking people and taunting them over direct chat - Running through cherno and crying out "friendly" whenever I see someone and actually surviving that way - etc etc etc The problem is not people buying ARMA 2 for DayZ, the problem is people being stupid as fuck AND youtube videos displaying the game for something it simply is not.

At first I was very saddened, because the motorcycle I had found with my group was lost. To make up for it, I managed to find an ATV with just 1 wheel missing and a damaged engine (and lots of missing fuel) and managed to get that repaired. That's in the party camp now. PS: Looting Cherno with just 1 bullet in a Makarov is scary as hell.

Vehicles are more reliable to store your stuff. On top of that, since tents seem to be duping by themselves like crazy anyways: Just put down three tents and split the stuff you wanna keep into three, odds are at least one of the tents is leak-proof. Maybe.

NO BECAUSE: People with weapons WILL spawncamp. Getting into anyone's LOS and Zombies aggro'd through desync mean certain death.

I registered an account just because of this: PLEASE do NOT do this. Removing the crappy Makarov from a beginner's inventory will only make the game needlessly frustrating! It's not rare that you startle a zombie that shouldn't be startled, the main cause of this being lag (or them spawning into your face). The Makarov helps to fend these off and it allows you to commit small mistakes like aggroing a single zombie and getting rid of it. Also, without a starting gun, situations WILL arrise where you run into a building early and find a player - without any chance to defend yourself should (s)he be hostile. The only thing removing the starting gun WILL achieve is a dwindling player base and non-noobs farming the coast for beans. They can just stand at common spawns, wait a bit and shoot someone who just spawned into the face. Slowly. Because a newbie wouldn't be able to defend himself. This will not end the bean wars, it'll turn them into a massacre. What we need to end the senseless player killing is a new humanity system. My thoughts would be the own character turning crazy when killing too many innocent people (occasionally screaming and shaking uncontrollably), but I'm sure there are other even better ideas out there. If you read all of this: thanks for your time. :)
