Hi, Im looking to join a private shard for me and my group to join. We dont mind roleplaying or having to be whitelisted in but would prefer just standard dayz "rules" basically none :). We are a friendly and are part of an arma 3 realism group, But we also like to play dayz in between operations. Im looking for a server that has a full day/night cycle and that has persistance enabled, and would be good if the server was in UK or Europe. If anyone could suggest a few servers that would be great.

Thanks dave. will check you guys out. I think experimental just went full day/night cycle, so i may be in luck yet.

yh the thread got moved from there. Have come across day/night cycle servers before but seems to be none existant now.

do you run a day/night cycle?

yeah, same here, had a few of us waiting around for it to cook last night before we logged out. we waited 30 mins.....nothing, packed up the fire place and logged off in the end.

Ive been collecting cooking equipment and fire place items so i can live happily in the woods on the far west side of chernaraus, i have a full stove, cooking pot and frying pan. Are there any items that actually can be cooked in this build? Ive tryed a few things and nothing works. I hear that there is raw steaks but havnt found any yet to test. Can anyone shed any light on the current state of cooking and fire building in dayz? Can it be done yet?

I dont like reading. I like to eat.

You can cook pizza in a frying pan. I have a full setup, and am searching for things to cook. Maybe your pizza will work. :)

I did however heat my frying pan up. The four slots it takes up in inventory went red. :) i wonder if you can melee with a hot frying pan for extra damage or something?

Yh my friend found one. I read somewhere you can boil water in the pot, i have seen it in a video but was unsure how he got steam to come from it. Im going to further investigate it. See how it works, for when the update comes in.

I might hold onto my equipment then. I heard the hunting and survival aspect is featured heavily in the next update. I also hope the backpacks go persistant in next update so i can build a small camp. I prefer surviving more than hunting people and trolling.

This is just seriously wrong...... maybe he really really wanted his trousers.

im a few days in on dayz. the mod is superb as far as i can see. ive found a bus..... and lost it. found my bro..... and lost him. found loads of good stuff and........ lost it. i do have one thing i'd like to mention, why do these " bandits" bother killing people at the start??? earlier i respawned and decide to mind my own business in cherno. before you lot say. i know its dangerous place. anywho walked into a shop to find a survivor with a ghillie on and a shotgun. i wondered about the store carefully moving out his way. might i add, i didnt have shit, no weapon at all. he blasts me to the chest for no reason. so i leg it bleeding to death. i ran to the firestation to seek cover and safety. i see another survivor in the tower as i move to the top to bandage my wounds. then the mongol began to chase me around the fire station swinging a CROWBAR! A fucking crowbar!!!! whats the point.!!! i had nothing but the bandage i needed to heal myself. i began playing dayz with a friendly attitude. ive seen alot of people with nothing and i didnt see a point killing them??? if these so called bandits are so good, why do they want my starting gear, with no gun! its stupid. Thanks to this wonderful community you lot have here, i have now turned into a bastard!! everyone i see, i gonna kill, wether they are armed or not. if there are zombies chasing you and i see it, you are going down!! i am now allies with the zombies before the survivors. This is why this game has gotten out of hand. and rocket himself has had to alter what people start with just to stop this crap. Now i am one of these ball bags who shoot people for fun! i am sorry to all the people who want to play nice. ive gone to the dark side. see you all in hell..

This is a post i made nearly a year ago and dayz is still mainly a pvp bloodbath. I hope when standalone hits it hard as nails, resulting in people limping around screaming out for help because of the complete harshness of the enviroment. breaking point and the other new versions have all strayed a little to far from what dayz is about for me. 15 bags of cement??? build a house with a garage???? no thanks! just a tent will do for me. The harder the game gets the more people will HAVE to band together. when you meet a pack zombies you should be f**king scared. cant freaking wait :) see you all in hell.

shouldnt the inventory slots relating to the clothing match the amount of pockets. 4 slots for jeans instead of six, also 6 slots in the hoodie seems far to many. Anyone feel the same?

I know the score. It's kill or be killed. BUT... The thing that everyone wants is LOOT. Am I wrong? To kill a man WITH loot. I kinda expect it. But to kill a man with nothing just seems pointless. Surely a waste of ammo. From now on I trust no one. Thanks dayz fOr the paranoia.

hi,me and my brother are highly interested in this mod. we have never played a PC FPS ever! ive played "computer games" for years on consoles and only ever really liked playing simulator type games. (or the best a console could offer me) my friend introduced me to live for speed. i was hooked. ive been pc mad since :) purely because of realism these games on pc could reach.... plus im getting tired of screaming children on their xbox's online. PC players seem more grown up so to speak. anyway ive decided to buy a new pc and i think im gonna go for this i7-2600k Intel CPU (3.4GHz) + Fan - NEW SANDYBRIDGE 2nd Generation CPU! 8GB DDR3 RAM (16gb Max) - 1333MHz Fast Access Branded RAM 500gb Sata III Hard Drive, 7200RPM, excellent performance and silent operation DVDRW +/- DL, high quality DVD re-writeable drive, dual layer support, fast and reliable High Performance Asus Motherboard featuring both USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 and good upgradability (ASUS P8H61-MLE USB3) NVidia GTX550Ti Performance Video Card, 1.0g GDDR5 RAM, VGA/DVi/HDMi support Wireless 802.11 b/g/n ready for a fast and stable wireless internet connection SPECIAL OFFER: Vantage gaming Style ATX Case, blue fans, card reader integrated, 500W quality PSU fitted, excellent style and quality **NB: If blue LED fans are not available then the case will be fitted with red LED fans** Wireless Keyboard & Mouse provided!

I cant wait :) see u all soon.

to be fair i havnt brought it yet. i found all this for... wait for it. £500 should have it by the end of the week tho. if he can build more at this price i will let people know.

I hate u!! lol
