Its Saturday June 15th. Am I the only one who's Dayz.ST server is still down .

Just got a reply back from ST. Ddos attack on the server I'm on. Lucky me :(

Tried switching. No luck.

If I try to join to play I get as far as waiting for host. If when I enter the dayz.st control panel for the sever, through my web browser, it says "not started" on the ticker, and at the server status field, it says down. I've tried restarting it, but it still stays like this.

Can someone point me to a site or thread that explains how to update the filters? I would have thought this would be much easier to find.

Back up and running already - Awesome !!!

Did your servers in Washington DC just go down @ 8:00 PM EST. Mine went down and now I can't even access the DayZ St web page. Just my luck - right as I died and not just before, lol

Not sure where I stand. Above all the hacking has to go, even if that means never getting any server or mod options. But I'd like to be able to make custom maps. Also I'm hoping private hives will exist; Its the best way to ensure against ghosting.

The Sa-58 and Vz 58 are the same rifle, though I think your right on the ingame name. And Thanks for the confirmation ! :thumbsup:

Is the VZ 58 not spawning in loot? While I've managed to find a couple of G36's I haven't found a single VZ 58, nor have I heard of anyone having one.

Just played on a server where food and beverages weren't spawning properly; Scoured from Krustoy, to Kamshovo, to Rog Castle, and all through Elektro and only found one can of soda and one can of Pasta, near the East end of Elektro. Once in Elektro, backpacks were everywhere, pretty much everywhere food should have been. Anybody else encounter this?

I can't say for sure, but from the screen shots you posted, it looks like you're trying to launch through steam or get on games through arma2. Open up Dayz Commander, then double click on the top where it says install/update. Make sure DAYZ Commander is up to date Make sure ARMA2 Is up to date And make sure under Mods, that DAYZ is up to date. If you can post a pic of what it says when you bring up the install/update tab, that would help

Now that the deerstands have thier own loot table are they broken or just nerfed? The only weapon I find there now is a crossbow.

Too bad for the way they have been since named. The dev's have altered them to be more like deerstands. We'd probably do better to post in the currently pinned hotfix 1.7.6.1 or on reddit. Military Watch Towers, unfortunately better known as deer stands, were good for balance. The brave and the clanned could go to NWAF, fight it out, and gear up. The noob and the soloist , and the players that aren't that good at first-person-shooters, if they wanted to put the effort into looking through the deerstands, could get basic military weapons (AKMs and the like) and stood a chance at defending themselves. Try defending yourself against someone who hops out of a vehicle with a m4a1, a DMR in is Coyote backpack, and a PDW on his side, when all you've got is a crossbow that seems to have about the range of an axe. For the sake of balance, IMO, some military weapons should spawn in deer stands. I would say the rare class (according to the DayZ Wiki) or at least the uncommon class. However, If they are to be strictly hunting spawns, than certain weapons should be spawning a little more often. There's enough Crossbows spawning, but the double barrel shotgun, the winchester and the enfield should be spawning much more often here. Also the CZ 550 should be spawning alot more often, as it is the only scoped hunting rifle in the game. M14 aimpoint, though a military rifle, wouldn't look out of place either.

I've been mostly finding zero weapons, or anything useful in deerstands, so I'd like to know if they are broken or if they just suck now.

I think it was a good decision to take the items out. Though the whole thing was well meaning, the odd and sometimes goofy nick-names just make the mod look unprofessional. No disrespect - my handle would look wrong on a can of beans too. I know DayZ is a mod, but its not like its some small mod that nobody knows about. It's put a commecially dead, 3 year old game back on top of Steam sales charts. It's taken a style of gameplay no one would have thought would be successful and made it uber-successful. One not to be mentioned company tried to rush their own product to market after seeing DayZs success. Its won mod of the year awards, and one site even named it as game of the year. Though technically its a free mod, people who will never play ArmA 2 have paid for it just to play DayZ, which essentially equates to them paying for DayZ the mod. And official or not, this has become the demo for those who are interested in the Stand Alone. Hence it deserves a higher level of professionalism than most mods. So that said, I thank the devs for their hard, unrewarded, and way too often unappreciated work on continuing to work on this mod and add to it. I'm very much looking forward to finding myself a VZ 58 !!!!

What exactly does this mean? That there are different items than used to be there, that they spawn at different rates?

I know I read Monday the 25th as an estimated date for another patch or hotfix to deal with the issues in this patch. But if its going to take longer can we get a revert back to the previous patch til this patch is sorted out? That one's main flaw was being too generous with the loot, which as flaws go, is pretty easy to take. This one has alot of gameplay detracting bugs. Thanks for your efforts - despite our complaining about this patch, I'm sure most on here would agree with me that your work is appreciated.

Ok, I have to say that perviously the loot was a little too easy. One hour in Cherno or Electro and I was leaving for the woods with an AK and enough ammo to start a war, a large backpack, two tents, ghillie or camo, usually a g17 or 1911, water bottles, knife, watch, map, usually compass, matches, morphine, bandages and painkillers, basically all the kit I need to go to the woods, live off the land and never have to go into the cities again, and as noted, with a nice military rifle just in case I get into a hairy situation. Previously with all the guns lying around, I had to check the road signs to make sure I wasn't in zombie apocalyptic Texas. Now it has swung too far the other way. I played for hours without findind a pistol - finally found one with 0 ammo. Not finding many pistol mags either. Guns are pretty rare too - I've only seen enfields, crossbows, and shotguns spawn - no military rifles at all. So much for those new guns added if you'll never see one. Managed to pick up an AK74 from a corpse - I'm beggining to think the guy either was a hacker or got it pre 1.7.5. Can't find any of the larger backpacks. Deer Stands are a waste of time now, unless your collecting empty cans and chem lights, lol. Went to North East airfield, and all I got was antibiotics (which was cool!) and a military flashlight. Zeds are spawning stuck in buildings, and it often seems to take a few minutes entering a town or area before they spawn at all. You'd kill a man for a makarov mag - if you could find a makarov to stick it into. Also the temperature icon- I played for several hours at night and mine went completely red. I started coughing - not sure if that was from being out at night or driking unboiled water, but I took antibiotics and the cough went away; However the temperature icon is still blood red. I'd say the good loot needs to be a bit rarer than pre 1.7.5, but not this rare. Ammo should be fairly rare, to the point that your only going to use full auto in an emergency. And as for the zed spawns - if you clean out an area, you should have a decent amount of time before zeds respawn, regardless of weather or not another person enters that area - I would guess somewhere between five and ten minutes. Ten might be good, as you could possibly stack zed spawning on the loot spawn table.

How did you fix it? I just started having the same problem running Arma2 on my laptop, which used to run both Arma2 and Dayz on lowest settings, just fine. Now it's Blue Dots everywhere and like 1 frame every 10 seconds or so. I've installed drivers for both my video card and processor, and reinstalled the game but no luck.

I voted no, but I agree with smasht_AU on the maps. I do want to see custom user maps in the standalone.

Yeah rent a private hive server and whitelist it. Only the 4 of you, or whoever else you choose to add to the list will be able to join. But it wil save you alot of grief from hackers.

I think I've given up on the public hive. Whitelist seems the way to go. The public hive, and even the open private hives are frequented with hackers. Tonite I had just logged on to a server and where I was, the chances of running into another player were astronomically low. Well along comes this trash talking, invincible bandit, who suffers zero damage from my SAW 249 at close range, while standing in the open. I die. Hours of careful gameplay, and great loot gone.

The DayZ wiki now lists several '58 versions, as well as a couple of G36 versions, and and the M40A3, as coming in the 1.7.5 patch. They weren't there just a couple of days ago - so maybe this means the patch is coming soon :)

Server this happened on: US 3066 Time that it happened including your timezone: 0740 AM Atlantic Standart Time (GMT -4) What happened during the incident: Logged on to the server, which is a public server, and a debug monitor showed in the top right corner called "MONKY" monitor. Immediately I logged out. I've been hit with a teleport hack before on other servers (not this one), and the "MONKY" name showed up on a death message. So I didn't stick around to loose my gear. There was only one other person on at the time, not sure if that will help, but I can provide his ingame name if asked by a forum moderator. Also I've noticed a Battleship at NW airfield on this server, for the past couple of days. Yeah that's right - I said Battleship at NW airfield, high and dry. There was also a man, all white, hanging from a noose, suspended from nothing in the middle of the airstrip at the same airfield.
