    DayZ Mod 1.7.5.1 Update

    I'm glad to see that this update has came along and brought many new things to us, however I get the feeling that some private hive owners are not very happy. Quotes from a friend that hosts a Private Hive Server "Dayz is a piece of shit that blocks the best interests of its players by continually trying to kill the private hive. Piss on DayZ Dev, that is why we went to a community made map, Taviana, and are getting away from Chernarus! Down with Dayz Public Hive! Up with Private Hive." "DayZ mod is now being developed ny the community, and has been since the bulk of standalone was finished, and they needed more rocket and company to tweak and finish it. The community dev team, which has friends of mine on it, namely, daimyo, the guy who built base building, had some really great ideas on how to make dayz great. They passed these thing aloong to straight dayz dev, and most of these things were approved. Heres the cleincher. Right about the time they were ready to releaseit, dayzdev forced a hive authentication onto the update for i.7.5.1. This authentication pissed off about everyone who has ever had a hand in private servers. In fact, it poissed them off so bad, the Ayan4m1, the guy who built bliss, and helped with early server builds quit doing it altogether.Shut down his website, and retired permanantly from building private erver hives." "You want to know what the worst part is. They uased mods built by private hives, like zombies spawning while you are in a vehicle, and pulling you out. Specifically Daimyo's mods, and incorporated them right into dayz code. Built on PRIVATE HIVES. and now they are killing private hives with this 1.7.5.5."

    Update, check the original post
  7. Official Thread http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/98289-operation-humanity/ Me and a couple of buds the other day got a idea when we found a truck loaded with weapons and ammo while playing. We decided to try and take over Elektro. Not in the "Suck my dick or die lolzXD" way, but as in to try to establish a safe zone in DayZ. When we did it, our truck got stole but we had a blast mowing down zombies and all. We tried to help people as we went, I only had to shoot one guy but he was trying to snipe us (Shot him in the throat with a M14). Since this was fun for us, I figured I would check it out and see what it would be like if I got a group together and tried doing that again and maybe get a event going. Maybe even do some in game give aways of some of the stuff our scavengers retrieve. I'll start getting things sorted out such as a teamspeak and try to get supplies to get this kicked off, but before that I think I should do a poll for it. If you would like to see this happen in the coming week or so, make sure you vote in the poll. If I do have enough votes I shall host the event and get things worked out. Come on people, lets get civilation started again and lets do this!

    Operation: Humanity

    This will be on the main hive for Chenarus and server location is pending. Everyone else telling me to pm them or they'd like to be a part of this, you guys are failing horribly and more than likely will be denied.

  11. Hey guys, sorry about the long wait. I've been pretty busy with school/family lately. The official thread for this operation will be posted sometime tomorrow with more info. Once again I'm sorry about the delay and I hope that those who wished to join are still interested.
  12. I know the get together was suppost to happen this weekend, but I got school and other things I need to attend to. Postponed until further notice

    My personal tips

    My Tips 1. Be Vigilant, check your surroundings 2. Before you go into somewhere to loot (Town, Deer stand, etc), Reload your weapon regardless if it's full. Great way to check your mags. 3. Don't be a jackass. You'll get yourself killed faster than shit through a goose. 4. Firehouses ftw.
  14. This will be a organized operation, and there are plans in place in case something like that happens.
  15. Update The Event will be next weekend And now I'm working on fixing up a desktop for a Team Speak Server, will be testing it for a day or 2 and make changes if required to. I'll have the TS info up in a little bit.
  16. First of all, Sorry for the typos if any. It's a bitch trying to type on this laptop Everyone hold up on the Skype/Steam names hoping for a invite. We will save that for the offical thread, plus I didn't expect this man votes for the event. I'm going to have to find a big stable server for majority of us to join, but if not I'll have to sort out people needed for certain jobs because as much as I want to I can't bring everyone. If we completely fill up a server that eliminates the point of us doing this, which is to help survivors. The only thing that I can tell you all right now is to be stocked up on ammunition, be prepared to take orders, help by donating wired fencing, tank/bear traps, and maybe a spare tent. Most importantly I can not make a promise that everyone will make it out alright, there will be sacrifices that will have to be made and theres always the risk of being jumped and or someone joining and shooting up the place. If you got a safe spot for storing gear that you do not wish to lose I suggest you go to it before the event starts.
  17. Ladies and Gentlemen We now have enough votes for the even to go! Once I get things sorted out such as a teamspeak server and a server where we will do this. Once again if you do wish to join, try to keep an eye out for wire/tank/bear traps and ammo because We will be controling a FULL city, not parts and it helps to have all that. Once the thread for the official event is posted, I'll link it here. Keep checking back with this thread for more info!
  18. Once again to the folks afraid of hackers raining on the parade, we will contact the admin staff about this event and try to have them ready incase one shows up. It will be delt with fairly quickly.
  19. Welp, If we do let you in, we'll be sure to put you down as medic to work on that little issue. Like I said, the bandit skin thing is not set in stone as of now. However if you or someone else happen to betray us, you will be put on a bandit list for the public to view here, now that right there will be set in stone. Same thing goes the other way around if you happen to help the event go smooth and you'll be noted as a hero, if you do something amazing thats worht a mention you'll also get that aswell with the list of people who participated.
  20. Once a server has been picked, Me and my team will get in touch with the Adminstration and try to have them with us incase of people trying to use exploits and such against us. And you can always tell a bandit from his heartbeat, and if that fails I hope he realizes that we will be playing on a server with name tags and about 20 other plays will be on the hunt for him, and once again if he combat logs we will have the admin staff on standy by.
  21. I, and the others that wish to join in, appreciate you wanting to help humanity out a little. Right now is this just a vote/suggestion thread, and with enough votes I'll start another thread with the actual event. 2 things I wish to make clear right now that will help out the event is the following; 1. We need wired fencing / tank traps / bear traps to keep bandits from getting in (I know they can combat log, but still it helps), so if you happen to find some or have them lying around we would appreciate the donation to help with the cause 2. We are here to help fellow survivors, Friendly Fire will not be tolerated. People with Bandit skins may also be not allowed, this may change but if not I'd work on your humanity.

    DayZ Stories

    A friend told me about a camp he passed by and that it had a coyote backpack if I was willing to travel. After a few miles of travel I find the camp and sure enough, it was there with the pack. Here's the thing about it that saved my ass. The tents where in the trees to the point to where you had to be in the tree to get to it, pretty much camoing yourself. Then I heard footsteps behind the tree and I holler back to my friend on skype "Hey man are you in here?" "Nope" was the response I got so I decided to walk out of the tree to find that either the owner or a random guy had found it. He had a ghillie and a DMR, "THERES A GUY HERE" I yell back to my comrade. I go around the tree to find him switching to his secondary firearm, Glock 17, and then I begin to shoot him with my M4 CCO SD. I took out his legs first and then he started to shoot back, We exchanged pew pews as he took out mine. Fortunately the M4/M16 was designed to do major vital organ damage, making his wounds fatal and bringing upon him his demise. "I got that sumbitch!" I informed comrade as I performed first aid on my legs and tended to my hits, I think he only got 3 shots on me because I went from 12K to 10-9K blood. I ran away about 300m from the camp and decided to put one of my classic thank you notes on the map only to find that the guy I had killed logged out of the server, more than likely attempted to avoid his death but failed. Since he did that I decided that this was called for If anyone of you ladies and gentlemen decide to pass through these coordinates on US 477, feel free to stop by this fellow's camp and grab some of the gear. I only took the Coyote backpack and there still should be some guns and other goodies.
