Weyland Yutani (DayZ)

So everybody in this thread reads/speaks French but me? :( Hall has said private hive/servers are coming so I'm not sure what this petition is for. Is this a petition to speed up the process?

Good to know. Can you confirm or deny any sort of admin presence on Experimental servers or would that be letting cats out of bags? Thanks for the reply. North Eastern US. I've run intio more than a few hackers myself and my crew has run into several more and they've all been on US servers. Last one I remember was a FL server (Florida) where a hacker flew over an island yelling my squad mates name as he killed him. Basically, some sort of flying hack with ESP. Can anyone confirm or deny the red BE messages being accurate or not? I took a snap of someone that was being kicked for improper signature on a building pho, yet he stayed/returned to a server more than 1x. This was on regular hive btw. Just to be clear, there is an reload animation for a double-barrel (long) shotgun reloading with or without a snap-loader right? TheHuntsman87, no worries mate…I'll try and get to it asap.

"At first I thought it was a glitch." :huh:

Just a public service announcement, Tent City is back [Experimental] and better than ever. Everything spawns loot now. Dirt floor tents, wood floor tents, quonset huts, medic stations. Tested and confirmed at NWAF as well as Balota.

I didn't see anything respawn and we ran from Berezino to NWAF and everything was empty. My friend died of hunger. Also, we saw 1 zed…1. Found him in Zelenogorsk.

Thanks, appreciate the source.

Can you confirm that with a source? First server I was on was super picked clean for a very long way. A friend died of hunger and I barely survived. If anyone is curious, fireplaces are not working. We had a stone, firewood and matches and couldn't craft anything.

That was a private server. To answer your question...no. Start with nothing, zero, zilch.

I'm trying to find a night server right now and can't seem to find any. Time to scrap this project until later...shitty.

Bandit: a robber or outlaw belonging to a gang and typically operating in an isolated or lawless area. A synonym for outlaw is unlawful.

If you crack open the game pbo's there is a folder with all the zed sounds in .ogg format. There are 95 of them and many of the sounds I haven't heard before. Attack 0-13 Chase 0-14 Female Zombie Attack 1-5 Female Zombie Chase 1-5 Female Zombie Spotted 1-5 Idle 0-35 Spotted 0-13 .ogg audio format can be easily heard with a free app called Audacity.

Take it easy Cujo, your barking up the wrong tree. That quote was from DH himself. I only indicated as such 4x. Ignorance is defined as the lack of knowledge or information. Considering my knowledge/information is coming from the creator himself, does it really appear I am the one that is ignorant? Have a good afternoon.

This is exactly what Hall said during the recent Twitch interiew at Rezzed.

Thats not what he said. I have typed the direct quote below: "I prefer this approach than penalizing the free-for-all PvP. I think that if we build these kind of things around the experience that it will round out the PvP experience. I think this is a much better approach to take than having PvE servers." As far as two years being concerned…it doesn't change the real core experience. Two years is a blip in game development, especially at Hall's pace. Again quoted here: "The real core experience is the real tension DayZ provided and that's provided by the other players." If that was to ever change, Chris Torchia wouldn't be leaking new model snaps of the Walther P38. Instead, this would be the latest handgun making its way to stable. DayZ isn't DayZ without the fear of being taken out by another player. Its the salt of the Chernarus.

I'm looking to find all campsite/tent locations. Not the ones at Tent City in Balota/NWAF. I have found three so far. There is one right below NWAF, inbetween Vybor and the southern gate. One at Krutoy Cap. Another at Pik Kozlovo [the mountain between Cherno and Elektro]. If anyone can refer me to any other campsite/tent locations, please post them. Thanks.

Great, maybe that is the one I missed. If you find the time, please do take a snap for me. Thanks for the information.

No problem. Thanks for replying and if you run across any, just drop back in and let me know. Take care.

That is exactly what I'm looking for. Maybe I should have clarified better. Is that one behind a rock next to the road? If it is, I've found that one already [Pik Kozlovo]. If not, I'll take a look anyway as I found a tent in between Elektro and Cherno when SA first dropped and haven't been able to find it since. I'm not looking for the ones in Tent City at Balota/NWAF. Just the random tents placed around Chernarus. Thanks for taking the time to reply. Appreciated. I'm not looking for loot. I'm looking for tent/campsite locations that are hidden throughout Chernarus.

Really? I qued the video up 30 seconds, for your convenience, before he says it. The actual quote is it 17:54-17:58. Not only did I post a video cued up 30 seconds prior to the comment so people wouldn't miss it, but I also typed the quote in message #13 in this very thread. Hope you find it!

I have screens as well as video. Is it that burned out town with the helo in it and the busted up church? I have video of that town but forgot where it was. Definitely need to revisit it.

Very little of those mechanics are implemented at this time. Hall just said at the Twitch interview after his presentation at Rezzed that people KOS so heavily right now because there is nothing to do. Things to do are coming, one of which is the hunting/survival aspects which will keep many players busy. Regarding "flawed concept"...Hall is an artist and all artists are perfectionists, they always find flaws in their work. Sometimes its flaws nobody can see or agree about. Recent quote below. "I don't think I have the capacity to be happy in a traditional sense. I always want... It's the natural human... Once you have something, you don't want it any more. I wanted to be better. But I already knew this. No matter what happens with DayZ - the Queen could come here right now and proclaim DayZ king of the universe, and I would still be unhappy with it." http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2014-03-28-who-is-dayz-creator-dean-hall

It isn't that long ago. I don't have time atm to outline what hasn't changed so if you would like to post what has changed feel free to post that information. I will revisit this later, got some DayZ to play. For those that missed it, a quote from the man who made this experience possible: "I prefer this approach than penalizing the free-for-all PvP. I think that if we build these kind of things around the experience that it will round out the PvP experience. I think this is a much better approach to take than having PvE servers. The real core experience is the real tension DayZ provided and that's provided by the other players."

You can make it from the eastern shore to NWAF without dying from hunger. What I look for in a server if I'm not picking from my favorites list is a bit of normalcy. Quick Restarts, Fast Loot, ABC123 Clan Server, etc…I avoid like the plague. IMO, hosters with that fast-food mentality often result in poorly managed servers that disconnect from the hive resulting in character wipes. Its not enough to look for a low ping, perfect timed server. Maybe mix a bit of normalcy with some creativity to attract players. Balota Book Exchange is a great name. No Fapping In The Woods is another name that attracts a big player base. Get creative. Maybe something like 'Berezino Beer Works | Free Beer 24/7' (If you use that give me some credit) might attract a player base. Servers with names that like US East 1-7 is generally what I look for.

Your setting yourself up to be victimized. When people see 2 hour restarts they go there for the loot. Not sure how you can't see that. To me and probably every other peson on Earth that plays DayZ, that looks like an incentive for people to play your server and by your own admission, its working. I've seen server descriptions that say 45 minute restarts. Thats for loot not server performance. Maybe leave '2 hour restarts' out of your server description and see how that goes. If you missed it, Hall is planning on promoting server-hopping as indicated by his Rezzed presentation regarding helo parts. Also, the positve reasons for server-hopping outweigh the one and only bad reason for server-hopping. The singular bad reason for server-hopping is loot farming. Server-hopping is a bastardized term within the community. Hall specifically said the map will be broken into quadrants and when a quadrant is bone-dry, loot will respawn. In the mod you could loot farm a single building/area every three minutes. To prevent this the entire quadrant will have to been looted which would take a very long time to do. Far too long for it to be of benefit.
