Sadly, some of those I listed have now closed. NPG still runs half a dozen other servers, all full most nights but they're just not for me. I like my overwatch servers but there are now probably three left. Won't be long before there are none, so I play as much as I can. :thumbsup:

Check in your journal, it lists what you need to make various items.

Well fire stations might well be run by the military in a time of national emergency. It isn't really much of a stretch of the imagination. :) :thumbsup:

Welcome, Wolffheart. Sounds like you've a good grasp of the game so far and those are some good ideas you suggest, too. :thumbsup:

Yes, let's hope it can be sorted soon. I've tried the bow with the scope added and it is very nice weapon. :thumbsup:

Hi Fuze, some very nice pictures, and some good advice from other players too. Good luck with the truck. :thumbsup:

You'd think it was 1997, I'm so far behind the times! :o

I have just learned all about it! I'd been away for a year and hadn't come across any of the new staff in the last few months since I've been back. So my apologies to Luckysix! :thumbsup:

I have no idea what Luckysix is on but there are no gates or fences or level six to build in the mod. Possibly amphetemines? Grass? Who knows! I suspect he raced in to disagree without reading what I wrote and is disagreeing with something else.

To me a bandit is someone whose kills, irrespective who, how or when.

Great to see people getting together to play DayZ. Good luck, Ari but finding one player might not give you a friendship that will last a life time of DayZ gaming. You might want to think about finding a few more. :thumbsup: I tend to play lone wolf because that way, if I die, it's my fault and not someone else's. Today I've been flying a chinook in one of the mod's mods, all over chernarus, and I survived!

Thanks, Max. My problem is it doesn't work for me. I try to access the servers and nothing happens, I can't get in. Any idea why? That's a dumb question, sorry but I'm at a loss as I've done exactly what you and others say. :thumbsup:

A new player replied to it. :thumbsup:

I think Steak's right, if you can use the in game server control thingy (<--- official, technical name) do as it's safe and up to date but sadly I just cannot get it to work for me. Interested to hear of DayZ Launcher. Not sure what that is, as I had a year where I couldn't play due to borked pc. Will have to do a search for more info.

It's it hell out there! :thumbsup:

You could do a simple search of these forums and find your questions have been answered many hundreds of times. :thumbsup: Good luck and welcome to the mod. Vanilla's ok but there's not much to do as there's so little to collect. I'd recommend giving it a go if you're one of those who plays in groups and likes a busy server. But if you play lone wolf it can get dull from my personal experience. I'd suggest trying a variety. The only way I can find overwatch servers is via dayzcommander. Some of the ones I've played on lately were NPG, The Hospital #1 and The Hospital #2, Dreist, PVP Walkers and VOLTs. Just do a search for any of them. The only vanilla I can get on are Musty's EU servers but they tend to be empty and as I said, there's nothing much to do except starve or die of thirst. Pity as they were a lot of fun when loads of people were playing on them. :thumbsup:

The guy's expressing his frustration but he's doing it in a reasoned way. He hasn't ranted, sworn and gone nuts. And most but the last reply seemed equally reasonable too. As long as you're not killing each other in real life, or provoking a war on the forums, it all seems reasonable enough to me, though other mods might disagree, so I suggest we keep it calm and reasoned so the thread stays open. :thumbsup:

My pc was broken for just under a year but finally, thanks to the kindness of a thoughtful and generous friend (deadactionman) my pc is working and I am back on dayz mod. It's still just as great as it ever was. Running up the beach like it was my first ever game, trying to find an axe and a can or two of food and drink. What a great game. I can't believe it's still as addictive as it ever was. If you join a server and see me there, do say hi. I'm friendly and have never killed anyone. If you need help, you only have to ask! My role is to welcome and help everyone, especially noobs, so feel free to join me or ask for help/tips/advice when you see me on a sever. I'm moving around, taking a look at what's available so you might see me on your regular ones. :thumbsup:

Oh Tommy, you've hit the nail on the head. With a mallet, a bloody, brain encrusted mallet. :o

Scratch the "I'm friend and have never killed anyone" bit. I kept warning this guy to stay away but he kept coming forward. I had warned him again and again but I think he wasn't listening. I had to shoot him. Seriously, I lost sleep over that incident. I'm such a goody goody. :facepalm:

Hi Selfcommander, welcome to the forums. Great question. Always nice to see a fresh face asking different questions. :thumbsup:

Hi Sweat, welcome to the forums. In my experience there's little point posting your skype details, all that happens is people ignore it and reply telling you how you can contact them. And around and around everyone goes, hoping someone else will do the work. Better just take things into your own hands and reply to the lot of them, and see how it goes for you. :thumbsup:

Yes, I would recommend dayzDB too. Google it. To be honest, you're better off finding an empty server and playing on it until you are familiar with the map. It's all part of life's rich tapestry. Plus it will help you to accept repeated death and loss of your gear. :thumbsup:

Welcome to the forums, Steve. Your question has managed to achieve more mod and admin response in this thread than most will experience in a life time. :thumbsup:

Hi, Rudmed, welcome to the forums. OK, first I'd say, no "the mod" doesn't have more of anything. There's no building or crafting, no trading in the mod. However, there are a number of different mods, some of which do have these things. The regular or "vanilla" mod is very difficult because there's hardly any food or drink, you will probably end up dead from that or zombie scratches. But there are other versions of the mod. There's Overwatch, which has more food and weapons, there's Epoch which has building and trading/crafting etc. I can't recall any of the others except overpoch which I think is a mixture of both two I already mentioned. I haven't played it, so don't know what it's like. The future is the standalone. It's being developed by devs who are paid to do that. However, the mod is run and developed by a volunteer developers in the community, like Kichi and Razor. To be frank, it's my favourite. I find that there are a mix of servers, some very quiet and others very heavy duty intense pvp servers. Last night I saw a few that were full 50/50 servers but others were 20, 15 players and others with a couple of players on them. I think it's the vanilla we provide a forum on, not sure of the others, I'll check. My advice would be just try all of them. Find out which ones you can access and which ones you like the feel of. I wouldn't worry about those who are already kitted out. They're probably be dead in a few minutes so it doesn't really matter. I suggest a quiet server at first. Get yourself an axe from a barn or construction site, grab a knife, some matches, a compass and/map then look for weapons. You'll probably die a thousands times before you achieve that but that's what it's all about. :thumbsup: :beans:
