Any timeframe when the private hive server files will be up?

Hey all, I love the concept of Namalsk and I am trying to help setup a server. However one the serve it seems Zombies and Loot are far and few. After an hour of travel looting Sabjen mine and norinsk, I ended up killing 12 zombie and loot just 8 cans of food 4 sodas and 1911 pistil with 2 clips. I am runnning .741 of this mod ad 1.7.6.1 of dayz. Also it seems the weather is not cold at all. I go to other servers and I lose heat and fight 8 - 10 zombies in just the first 15 mins. The only loot that seems to spawn are in the building from Chernua dayz. Thanks for any help it is a cool map

Basic info for all, and more basic info for anyone wanting to kill other players. Basic summation of his blog as of 6/26/12. 1. figure out where you are - check out maps on web. 2. get gear in this order: medical supplies, food, drink, weapons. 3. get in group and kill other players. If you are a noob you should read it. It is not long and you could clarify tactic and information for you. Thanks for the blog

Looks cool I guess I will have to dust off my webcam and give it s try

Yeah lots of ammo but a few guns right now. I find cans, ammo, wood the most. right now I have an axe but if I can find 1 of 4 guns I will be set as I have the ammo for them

Cool thanks for the info

Ok I am running through the wood and I stumble across a tent. I first I was woo hoo SCORE!!!! then I went over to it, I got the option of gear and save the tent. There was no gear in the tent so I click save the tent. I was figuring that I could pick it up and place it elsewhere but nope that was never an option. So can you pick the up the tent or do anything with them when you come across them?

No. What gets you killed "very often" is that you like to play on name tag servers where any bandit on a rooftop can see your name floating like a giant green billboard no matter whether through a wall' date=' clear across a field, behind trees, around a corner etc. I stopped playing on nametag servers the first time I killed an unseen person through a thick stand of pine trees. I never even laid eyes on that person, but I emptied a clip at their nametag and sent them on an all expenses paid beach vacation. I understand why you like them, but they have absolutely no place in a game like this where the stakes are so high. [/quote'] On the server I have played Dayz that had nametags, I had to put my cursor or aim my gun at you to see your tag. it is not just a 24/7 floating here I am tag. Its a game the stakes are just as high for this game as it is for hungry hungry hippo. its a game, nothing more nothing less

I loved to know who killed me. Just so I can log it if I keep getting spawn camped by the same guy. I will allow me to avoid any server I see that name. It just allows me to revel in the murders ultra leetness of shooting a slow moving targets, tee hee. I also like nametags as this will allow me to ID the players I have grouped with before. Right now it is hard because we all are identical clones of one another. S o I often avoid people for this reason

I have found many people I could trust. In fact I joined up with a small group in Elektro. My partner and I were leading the group through the town as we had the weapons. Killed a few zombies and doing pretty good still looking for weapons. Then the dread sniper got us one by one. At max we were 5 all working together. so it is possible to trust. All that said I have been spawn camped, shot for my beans, shot and never looted and shot because I said I was friendly, however, I will always be friendly and risk a person shooting me because I enjoy grouping. So if you see me shoot or dont shoot its all good but know I will return fire.

This morning I logged on and explored a barn. while I was leaving I aggroed a Zed. So the chase was on. Since I was near a hill with a forest I figure I would lose him there. However, I could not lose him. Every time I would get the Zed to about 50 - 100 meters away, he would scream and run with super zombie speed and appear right behind me again. I could not find a rock or steep enough hill to loose the zed. Eventual outcome is he got a hit on me broke my leg and I died it was a good life. Time for the hunt to begin again. :P Do any of you have a good strategy to lose super fast zed? My normal approach is: run though a building with 2+ exits, run around the build and sneak away, run up/down a steep hill Any advice would be great. Thanks

Yes it's a rule. Do a search and you'll see the reasons why. Also there's a new HOTFIX that was released' date=' thus why most servers LOCK to update. [/quote'] Ah that is what I am seeing. Thanks

I was wondering if DayZ actually enforces its server rules? I ask this because I am seeing more and more server that have passwords on them and I thought the rule was no passwords.

You can fill up canteens with water and I have found 3 cans of food over 2 days and one was on a dead zombie.

Only shot two people so far. One that was leading the Zed train and one in the old bandit skin that spawned right in front of me with some good looking gear. Other than that I have been kill a few time here and there by players and have talk to some here and there. but I generally stay off the coast
