Oh I don't, and it was said sarcastically in voice on their side chat. I was even laughing about the remark. Anyways, I won't be going there again. 5k servers, you avoid the bad eggs and play the good ones.

First day on the server and run into combat dodgers and hear about people getting LMG on the coast. Very skeptic so far.

There are a lot, and I mean a lot of 'hardcore' servers that are currently on the server list so i'm not being rude when I say this ( take it how you want ) but you're not the first nor the last. You rehashed an old idea and the issue is simply that people have tried servers like this and they either worked or they didn't. After 30 years of gaming I have learned one important rule : People think shit sounds great until they try it, then they quickly back pedal and say this 'This is terrible, fuck this.' . There are a lot of games where super - hardcore has been tried and failed miserably and this one does it fairly well. You want immersion but you spell out things which are not immersion based. Worrying that a sniper is tracking in on you? Man you should be worried about this on EVERY server. No waypoints? Ok fair enough, see above though, it's been done on a lot of different servers. No Crosshairs? Well there goes the chance of anyone using the grenade launcher on the M4A1 Holo but again, this can be overlooked. I'm not sure what you want to be honest because the things you list as wanting off your server are kind of petty. As for why people bitch about having first person restricted? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motion_sickness This is the reason I can only play on servers that have third person. I have severe motion sickness to the point just laying down in the backseat of a moving vehicle causes me to get sick. I CAN play some games but it requires me to take medication in order to stare at the screen. Arma II is one of those games that this hits me fairly hard in, and changing the F.O.V or Head bob does absolutely nothing. Granted, i'm the 1%, but i'm giving an example not fighting for a case here. All in all, there are servers out there already doing this and some of them are successful and long running (see the SurvivalOps) server so this is just another server that's coming up. If you want to make a server that's new and hasn't been done before then make a server with all russian weapons. The games in Russia, why are there more NATO weapons then Russian? Add new skins to entice clan war players to join your server (players can all dress up as X to show which team they are on) or maybe add vehicles that are military grade that have not been done yet. If you can accomplish this then you will have created something new and exciting that people will want to try over 'Another Hardcore server'. Good luck all the same.

I am looking for a new server to call home and i've been reading over servers that have these short lists of rules but give no information about their server so here's what i'm gonna do. I will give you a list there Mr. Admin and if my list sounds like something your server can offer me then let me know here. 1. Adult Admins : Mature in other words, don't show favoritism to one group or another and give everyone a good server to play on. 2. Admins don't cheat : Don't spawn equipment for yourself because you feel you are obligated to it because it's your server. Don't lay claim to vehicles and heli's, you play here so play fair. 3. Maybe a few weapons that aren't original: I can overlook this one simply because I know it's hard to get into a server but please at least consider putting in some low grade weapons in the future. (AK-74 with grenade launcher, the Russian version of the NATO weapon). 4. No 24 hour day cycle : This is the most important one I require. Don't come here and tell me to join your server if your server is constantly day. I want a changing day/night cycle that allows me to play different depending on the time of day. Also don't shorten the night simply so you can play in the day time. 5. Server is up 24 hours a day unless down for maintenance: Don't drop the server because you went to school and are scared people will raid your camp. That's admin abuse, play fair, you don't guard my camp when i'm not online, so stop playing the server in your favor. 6. Admin dies, bans player: If you can't take dieing, then don't bother asking me to join your server. If I kill you, fucking die, don't rollback the server to get your gear back. Don't ban me because you walked into an ambush, just die and accept the loss. Everyone else does, why shouldn't you? 7. Active admins: Either set up restarts or do it yourself. Be active! Fix the server if shits broken! Ban hackers! 8. Side chat is text only: There is nothing more annoying then some kid screaming at you in side chat about how you stole his coyote backpack off his lifeless twitching corpse at the NW airfield because he was checking hangers with a flare in his hand. Leave that shit off, text is fine to find hackers but voice? Why would you need that? To make groups? What the hell is this World of Warcraft? They invented Skype, Mumble and Teamspeak for a reason. 9. 3rd Person : On, CH : Off / On (either) Waypoints : On, Player dots on a map: Off 10. US based or at least I get decent ping for your server from the US. That's it, if your server fits this, then yeah i'll happily join up. I made a long list because I am sick of jumping servers over stupid shit like side chat voice being on for whatever the fuck reason then hearing stupid people whine about things like their camp being raided. I don't like hearing myself, hell I don't wanna hear half of you people much less myself.

Not interested in Lingor, but thanks.

Peep. I read over your server listing and it sounds good but I didn't see reference to weapon changes. I know I mentioned it being optional, so I assume that's a no on new weapons loaded into your server? Also, registered on the forum so waiting patiently for the server to let me in.

Is this server 24/7 day?

You would be surprised the number of people who want to play on private hives that have custom weapons. There are a lot of us. I don't want overpowered weapons, I want weapons that are new and exciting, like AK's with grenade launchers and AK - ACOG or whatever. I want the soviet version of all the nato weapons currently in the game because they are IN arma. I want to see more Soviet sniper rifles, we're IN RUSSIA, WHY ARE THERE SO MANY NATO WEAPONS?! I want to see a server that has more Russian weapons then Nato weapons. Make the nato weapons rare drops or something and make the russian ones more abundent.

Well when a server like this comes up, let us know. Otherwise, we're all still looking. We want custom weapons, not custom vehicles. Custom vehicles are being done on damn near every server, custom weapons are a different story.

Direct connect works, but not showing up on list. I'll figure it out when I get home. Wife says - Vehicles are not showing up or Motorcycles reset back to their old positions. One of the two has happened :P

Server down :(

Private Hives allow admins to do 100% more things then a normal admin can do. Private Hives can roll back a server to a past date if hackers get onto the server. They also have a lot more control over what the people can and can not do there. Some servers have a different theme or atmosphere that can not be accomplished on a normal hive. Private hives allow for more anti-cheat software to be run on them then you would find on any public hive (i've seen one that runs scripts to detect hacking that he himself wrote). New vehicles, more weapons, more things to do, private hives ARE better then public hive. I got sick of being nuked every thirty minutes so I went to the private hive side, haven't been disappointed yet.

My review of the server : Played here for about 8 hours, saw a few people and when it got dark the server died. No big deal, this is a norm for servers like this as people just don't want to play in the dark. I went up to the Northwest Airfield and began running around looking for what I could find. Gathered some decent gear but I was always plagued with a constant red chain and sometimes yellow chain. Sometimes this was because people were loading into the server, other times it just happened for no reason. There were times when I lost signal to the server but this happened maybe once, other times the server just stuttered. Community seemed pretty decent but the server isn't running on a 'server' computer and you can tell. It feels like it is running off a home PC that barely meets specs and the delay between kills and such shows it. I ran a constant 70 - 73 MS on the server and given the delay I experienced with that and the fact the server just seemed to run slowly, I moved on. All in all, small community of good people and a lot of vehicles for you to find if you want.

Just logged into the server and the server is connected to the main hive, it's not private. I'm not sure how you got side chat turned on, but this isn't a private hive so it's in the wrong forums.

^ This is the important part for me as well. What weapons are in this private hive? What vehicles are up? What's the population like? How many people during peak hours?

What weapons spawn on this server? (Disregard this question, saw it runs Bliss hive, not sure what that means but I assume it means as live) Is it 24 hour day? If you answered yes to the time question, count me out. Otherwise shoot me the password and i'll give it a chance if you would consider adding some weapon variety in the future.

Drakken as I have said in many other threads, does your server support new weapons? Custom ones? Meaning do you have weapons on your server not listed on the hive itself? My favorite weapon in Arma was the M16A2 203 and I wanna find a server with that on it.

Are there custom weapons here? Meaning weapons not listed in the DayZ DB? I'd like to find a server with different weapons / variety. Not wanting the TWS AS50 but... something, anything.

Does this server have new weapons in the database? I don't want anything overpowered as in AS50 TWS, i'm just looking for more variety then the normal hive servers can give me. Specifically looking for the M16A2 ACOG with M203.

What weapons are on the server at this time? Is it standard weapons or has there been anything new added?

Day Z Private Hive with custom weapons and a decent pop. Nothing overpowered, just some different weapons then you would normally find on a official hive server. Also would prefer it not be a freaking server you start off with a MK48 Mod 0 and every tool in the game. Specifically looking for an M16A2 ACOG 203.

There are private (White list) servers that don't require you to pay the admins to keep the server up. Try one of those, I see no 'list' of twitch gamers who are worth watching that are staying on this server. Oshi7 is not, DevilDogGamer is not, and Gumpenstein is not, therefore, no big name that i've heard of. Furthermore, I see no twitch gamers coming to this thread and supporting this server that they play on.

Does this server have custom weapons in it or does it have stock weapons normally found on other servers?

Why are you even in this forum? I mean, being a bandit for some of us means stalking someone, setting up the kill, working it to our advantage and then if / when we die learning from the experience. Why do you call yourself a bandit if the moment you get shot at you hit that macro you have which institutes an alt F4 and saves you because you were stupid? My most recent story of an Alt F4ilure. Snooping around at the NW airfield, had just satchel charged some poor tool who walked in (can't alt F4 from a satchel charge, asshole) and got C4 in the face, so decided to move around. Was headed to the southern barracks when I get the usual memory loss, FPS loss and aborted out to clear it. As I log back in, I immediately begin taking fire from somewhere I couldn't see. I assumed the guy was danger close because I was hearing the bang / snap within seconds of each other. I take off, full sprint into the woods and lucky for me the guys a terrible shot. I run out into the woods and spin around hoping he was following me. He wasn't so I decided to move in and see if I could catch him looking the other way. I slowly make my way up and after about 20 meters of move|scan|move|scan I catch him prone on the outside rooftop of the firehouse. I pull out my M107 and scope in, judge the shot to be 100 meters or so and fire, round goes low and hits the wall just in front of him (hindsight, should have ranged him then he wouldn't have lived). He doesn't even scan or try to find him me, he aborts out and runs for the hills. I know, beyond a doubt, this guy will go to another server and set up to pick up bad players all because he was able to abort out faster then I could get a second shot into him. I have -3 player kills on the 'I' menu right now because out of the 7 kills at the NW airfield: 2 were murders, 2 were shots I missed and regretted and 3 were people who hit the Alt F4 button and died but didn't leave a corpse (I confirmed one was a headshot, and still didn't give me a murder). Absolutely stupid, really stupid and hopefully Rocket can fix this issue very soon to make people who abort out of combat or alt F4 out of combat get some kind of penalty. So as I said at start if you abort out of a firefight or you Alt F4 out of combat or a death then you're not a bandit, you're a pretend bandit. Grow some sack, lose some gear, learn from your mistakes and until then get out of this forum. You haven't earned the right to be here, yet.

Why the hell would you donate for weapons? That's about the most retarded thing i've ever heard of.
