How do i find an ordinary, public, standard dayz server? with players?? The server list has been completely overrun with a gazillion private servers running lots of different maps on a dozen hives. All the standard servers i see in the list have five or fewer players :( Is there another public server list somewhere?

Time: 2012-10-08 01:20 GMT+1 Server: FR216 What: Me and Sempro was looting in Elektro. We were in the supermarket when a guy in ghillie suit ran by, stopped just outside and looked at us. Then we both fell dead and the ghillied guy ran away.

* Server this happened on FR216 * Time that it happened including your timezone. 2012-10-07 02:50 UTC+1 * What happened during the incident. I was alone on the server, looting in Elektro. Then "Uzer" logged on, my bone broke, i fell unconscious, then he sent a message "Greetings" in the center of the screen and i died.

Not sure how this got double posted.. the forums seem a bit buggy atm.

Server: DE 2403 Time: 2012-09-09 04:00-04:30 GMT+2 What happend: Players 'BROD!' and 'VIPER' flying in a heli killing everybody, instantly spotting everybody all over the map. Around 04:30 they landed close to Solnichy, then they shot at me (the only non-cheater left) even though i was in the forest/behind a mountain/hill. They saw where i was but probably didnt notice the ground between us. Then they followed me, threw nades and shot at me and killed me.

Blowing in the wind: Blowing up 20+ zombies/players with one grenade Bloody mess: Killing 30+ zombies/players at once with any kind of explosive Boner: Breaking bone 20 times Out of this world: Being unconscious for a total of 1 hour Wired: Putting up 100 wire fences Punkbuster: Taking down 100 wire fences Got stuck?: Crashing a car into a hedgehog, making the car stick to it Got ammo?: Putting a total of 100 ammo items in other players packs Good samaritan: Giving blood transfusions for a total of 100000 blood First aid specialist: Bandaging other players 100 times Pickpocket: Stealing from 5 different players packs Bad santa: Killing 5 players by putting armed grenades in their packs (Fallout-style) Munchies: Over eating by at least 5 times as much as you need, over a whole day Hey there!: Salute 50 players at close distance Sitting duck: Sit down and do nothing for 5 minutes while people are fighting in close proximity ...

*bumpety bump*

The server logs, duh!

Sure, but i don't know what the recently popularised game by Seananners and Hutch created by Bad King Urgrain "TTT" or Trouble in Terrorist Town is. Neither am i interested in buying the recently popularised game by Seananners and Hutch created by Bad King Urgrain "TTT" or Trouble in Terrorist Town, installing it and trying out the game mechanics to get an idea about how that system works. That would actually be WAY MORE tl:dr for me than your overly complicated description of the proposed system.

Server: DE 115 Time: 2012-09-09 02:20 GMT+2 What happened: I saw some people sneaking around in the forest near Cherno. Decided to stalk them. When i was hiding about 200 meters from them, a mortar attack started. Boom, boom, boom, like 20 explosions in about 20 seconds, all around me. I also heard machine gune fire of a type i never heard before. I went prone and aborted. Players on the server: Cryptile, Fox, fiN, ** Saint **, Sharpe, Njoy

Holy crap... please stop the overly complicated moral systems, please.

Date/Time: 2012-07-27 04:50 GMT+2 What happened: Was in a barn in Novy, was shot at, checked the map and to my surprise i see two guys as yellow dots with arrows on the map, moving around. I ran and hide, and a few minutes later i realized that they could see me too (even though i didn't move or make any sound). Was shot, probably through the wall. Where you were: Novy Sobor What you were doing: Looting *Current installed version: 1.7.2.3 *Server(s) you were on: some DE *Your system specs: *Timeline of events before/after error: nothing special

DE 55 2012-08-16 03:30 GMT+2 Walking around in Cherno, then suddenly all players were teleported to debug plains and shot.

Sure he would be able to code it up in a jiffy, but that's not the point. Unless you want MASSIVE exploitation of this "feature", you would have to spend LOTS of time to really think it through and actually define these rules correctly first. You can't just do something like this: if (otherPlayer.hasWeapon() && otherPlayer.lastShotFiredSeconds() < 10 && otherPlayer.weaponRange < range(me,otherPlayer) && otherPlayer.directionDegreesTowards(me) < 5) { otherPlayer.isValidTarget=true; } That's way too easy to exploit. I can see lots of ways to do it, without having to think very hard...

No. This is Chernarus, not Chernamerica. Vodka and caviar is more like it.

Server: UK 218 Time: 2012-08-11 01:30 GMT+2 Was running through a forest. Suddenly i fell to the ground (not unconscious). I had been running for a while so i thought it was some kind of new exhaustion thing added to the game. Tried to stand up again, and then it said in blue text in the middle of the screen "RIOT MODE". Wtf is this? I started to look around. Now when i zoomed in with my AS50, my sights were completely different. Extremely zoomed in, blue lines around the cross. I was thirsty so i drank a bottle, and then i noticed that the bottle didn't disappear. Ate a can, and i still had the same stuff in my inventory. Then i looked in my pack, and it was empty (24/24). Then i fell to the ground again and couldn't get up. Tried to ALT-F4 but it didn't work, i just got into message mode. Had to ALT-TAB out of game and kill it.

Wait, what?? Rocket said there would be no 1.7.2.5, he would go straight to 1.7.3 !!

Easiest solution is to press Ctrl-Alt-Enter to go into windowed mode, which will restart the graphics. Then just press Ctrl-Alt-Enter again to go to full screen. Took a while before i found out how easy it is...

2012-08-10 05:40 GMT+2 Was on DE 295, about 20 players. Suddenly my gear disappears (all except tools and pack). Both weapons, ammo, food, nvg:s, rangefinder... *poof* Other people on the server was like "OMG WE HAVE BEEN HAXXORED"

Steam always fail to update BattlEye. BattlEye should update itself, but it also fails. Only safe way is to update manually.

Hot zone maps, if disclosed by central hive command, can and will be used in ways which are bad for this game. And no, i am not going to go into detail about this (because of exactly the same reasons). And people who want the game to work as intended should not have to be fucked over by people exploiting information that should not be disclosed.

Jeez, would that be what Chernarus police are using??? I think Makarov or Yarygin would be more realistic...

1. Since there is no electricity in post-apocalyptic Chernarus, a vending machine wouldn't work at all. 2. Even with electricity it would be useless, since if you want to give away stuff you could simply put it on the ground or whatever. The economical system is no more, so selling items to get coins is pointless. So, i don't see any use for a player driven vending machine.

Oh my, Badjr... I don't know which psychotic country you live in, but i can assure you that where i come from, people would team up against the zombies. What's the point in killing some of my neighbours for a can of beans (and then someone kills me for revenge) when we can simply work together and build a barricade to keep the zombies out and then start a small farm so we may all eat good food around our campfire and be all without troubles?
