I have to agree with you. The zombies were a complete joke before, and are still completely manageable with an axe. Also, you can still run from the zombies.

Just want to say I hope the zombies stay the same or get harder. It was too easy before, you could loot an entire town while just kiting zombies.

Thanks for the quick response, just what I needed to know. Off to CS:GO to try and get my mind off DayZ.

I understand that no one is psychic, just wondering if the servers go down like this often(like at this time of day) and someone could guess for how long. EDIT: im in fiend mode. :)

I don't know if you have noticed, but there are a lot of servers. Not always easy to find the perfect one.

So my new mission is to get a complete ingame map. I have a few questions im hoping people can help me with. 1. Do the maps overlap? I ask this because I had both the NW and SW map parts, and they combined to make the W map part. This confuses me a bit, since there are 8 map parts. Would NE and SE combine to make E? Wouldn't this mean I am losing part of the map? Is there no way to combine NW SW NE SE into one full map? 2. What are the best buildings to find map parts. I have found most of mine in gas stations, and when looking at http://dayzdb.com/map/chernarusplus#4.102.079 , it shows that they can spawn anywhere. Just wondering if anyone has seen another building like gas stations that spawns them a lot. Thanks a lot for any help.

anyone else just have this happen? just wondering, maybe if I wait a couple hours it will come back?

Thank you both. I just searched one of those red houses and found a N and SE piece, and can verify how they combine. EDIT: and im with you, I love maps.

You talking about one of these? thanks http://i.imgur.com/iWQJ6qf.jpg or http://i.imgur.com/EyDfN8q.jpg or http://i.imgur.com/QzMSZ1B.jpg

So, this is kind of a suggestion, but not exactly to the Dayz dev team(even though it could be). Sorry if this is in the wrong place. feel free to move or remove if necessary. But ya basically put simple objectives in your server names. I can only really think of one example. KING OF THE HILL GREEN MOUNTAIN. You could change it to any different place like the riffy, or a military base, or even an airfield(would get crazy). Screw it why not just a building in any town. People just logging into the spot would be a problem, but if you had enough teammates(and they weren't logging into walls) you could probably kill people before they could do anything. You could also do this on a nighttime server and it would be a blast, but again gamma/brightness would kinda ruin this. Meh its alpha maybe this will change. Anyone have any other ideas. Basically some objective that would: increase player interaction(pvp or maybe co op) make us go somewhere other than elektro and kambi. and could be done without dayz devs adding any features. I am going to try this when I can host for free or have the money.

I was just thinking this could bring in more people. Everyone at least partially reads server names. Not everyone goes onto those forums. and what I meant about loot spawns, was that I could just make the server NOT reset very often, since zombies respawn now but loot does not. I have seen other people doing this.

There have been tons of times where me and my friends would have joined a server named like this and ran there just for the fight/fun(after getting geared of course). It not about owning any specific spot, its about having a specified place for people to fight over, just for fun. Maybe I could make this a server where loot respawns a lot less, since I am happy with the zombies respawns we just got.

Is the search broken? I cant believe no one has said this but oh well. I think the ability to add map markers(with a pen) to the ones we find would be amazing. You could use it as a reminder of where you have stuff, or where you have looted. Also it could be like a treasure map if someone killed you and stole it. Maybe, it could just be three or so different choices, like an X for looted, a :) for friend, :( for enemy, and a box for stash. Ideally it would be something like this, with multiple marker choices(obviously no teleport). http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/38731/? you can find tons of other great mods as an example from other games(maybe WoW).

Thank you so much.

I agree. Really love the shipwreck. And do you mean kept to a minimum? I think 3 more things like this would be the perfect number.

Its only because I love this game so much that I will make suggestions. I understand this is alpha. EDIT: I only server hop for loot, I don't combat log or ghost. I didn't think about either of those things. So this is probably a bad idea. Remove the 5 minute timer. Or fix it. It does basically nothing to stop server hopping. It does however piss me off when I get booted or choose a bad server(when not server hopping). The 5 minute wait would only be effective if it stopped me from knowing which servers were searched. Example: I search military base by NWAF. Log off. Log on new server. 5 minute timer. Now the problem should be, that when I finally get in, there is already a good chance it is searched, so I will have to just immediately leave and pick a diff server, then wait again. What actually happens: Search military base. Log off. Log on new server. 5 minute timer. BUT instead of just waiting, hit ESC, and BAM, you can see if the doors are open in the server u just entered, even though your guy isn't there yet. if its searched, hit exit and choose another server, the timer wont be reset. Here is my suggestion on how to fix this server hopping "problem." Have there be ZERO loot on server restart, then every 30mins(or so) have a random town spawn loot. This way, you never know which town has good loot, but you know ONE of them does. Some other suggestions: Less M4s, mosins, and sks(powerful guns). More shotguns and pistols(weaker guns). Make bicycles EXTREMELY hard to build. Same with cars when they get added. I like the vastness of the game, and I think cars/bicycles could ruin that a bit. Make hunger/thirst matter more past the first hour. Maybe not as hungry when you spawn, but hunger develops faster. And before people start hating because im a server hopper. lol. Loot is fun. You want me to run across the map, then loot something once, when I could 4 times? lol I actually run into a lot of people and get into some serious firefights while server hopping. lol I have yet to see one good reason to NOT server hop. lol

^^^^^^^^^^

but I am the only one that matters.(troll) "done your due diligence to see if this has already been addressed, which it has." .....again, no it has not.

and while you are at it, find a post with this in it. "What actually happens: Search military base. Log off. Log on new server. 5 minute timer. BUT instead of just waiting, hit ESC, and BAM, you can see if the doors are open in the server u just entered, even though your guy isn't there yet. if its searched, hit exit and choose another server, the timer wont be reset."

I don't think you read the entire post.

please find a post with this suggestion Have there be ZERO loot on server restart, then every 30mins(or so) have a random town spawn loot. This way, you never know which town has good loot, but you know ONE of them does.

I don't think so. Not yet.

PRO ADVICE: if you see a post you don't like, don't try and "end this nonsense at the beginning" I DONT CARE ABOUT YOUR OPINION, and I doubt many people do. Let me get this straight. you read this post and then tried to end this nonsense with "so you are confessing to being part of the problem and bitchin because the timer inconveniences you... interesting" ya you are more of a troll then I am.

I haven't seen that suggestion anywhere. especially from someone who admits to server hopping and explains how they get around the current timer.(even if im not completely "getting around it") ...I am curious about one thing however... are you older than 12? good insult. not typical at all

I think you are the one who is looking for attention. PRO ADVICE: next time you see a post you don't like, skip it.
