F-ashbang

First of all. This is not a complaining tread. Im still a active player and love the game. I have lerned not to get atached to my gear, and have lerned to deal with the fact, that any minute some hacker might fuck up my quest to find whatever im looking for at that time. Dayzteam and rocket can brag about having 1.2milion registered players on a alpha testing. But i cant help wonder. How many of those are still active? How many stop playing each day becouse of hackers? I have noticed, that more and more of the high pop servers i usualy play on gets more or less empty over the time. And im not talking about players switching servers. Since the servers im talking about are my main playground and i have stumbled over a great deal of good guys, im talking about players i have talked alot with actualy not logging on anymore. The last month, i have seen 12 servers going from a avg of 40+ players to between 1-5. I have also seen servers completly close down for good, becouse they no longer can handle the masive amount of complains they recive about hacking. Wil the standalone save this game? Wil it arive in time? Wil the standalone give us the bloodtransfusion so many players need? I guess we just have to wait and see.

After reading alot of post's about people wanting more enter-able buildings. I started to wonder about what this wil do to the servers. We all know that servers need to be restarted regulary to not mess up the loot spawning. With all the loot spawns there is now, how wil the future look like with twice, maybe tripple the loot spawns. Wil it affect how often the server need to be restarted? How long wil it take to actualy find loot of value? And wil the chance of getting killed by pvp before even finding anything get higher? Ofcourse its fun with more buildings to roam around in. But is this something without side effects? I dont think there is many here that wants tripple the amout of trash loot then they are used too, so how wil the new balance of loot be worked out?

Thats awsome news:)

You think thats wierd??:) i change back to civilian clothes and this is what happend. Exacly the moment i changed, i got pushed to the side by a dude that spawned ontop of me. Scared the crap out of me. But after some research, i foun out that it was a AI of myself. He stood there with all the same gear as me saluting me. And following me around when i started up my UAZ. Funny as H... But stil alittle scary. Not only that. But my ghillie got duped in my inventory both on me and my new friend. Giving me 4 sets of ghillisuits + duble up of everything i had when i acidently drow over him x)

Pyrex007. Anything going down tonight?? Hope someone whips up some more epic action tonight. Just like the other day with the hostile takeover of devils castle.

Awsome server with awsome admins:D

Devils castle hostile takeover. This happend on Privatehive server UK 57 last night. It started to get dark in chernarus. All seemed quiet. But that silence was quickly interupted by the radio. MAN DOWN! MAN DOWN! 2 guys from my squad had been cought in an ambush at NW airfield. We quicly assembled the rest of our squad to go on a search and rescue mission for the second guy, and to hunt that murderer down. A squad of 8 guys in helli and 2 in car made our way to the airfield. We got dropped of by the chopper at the south side of the airfield, and made our way trought the woods towards the south barracs. While the car team entered from the north. The amount of zombies where almost unbeliveble must have been 200 of those flesheating monsters. We searched and searched for our fallen friend while the killer taunting us over the voicecom with no luck. We regrouped by the hangars togheter with the second guy who got ambushed when we knew the airfield was clear. The killer still taunting us. Now he had moved to devils castle, and had baricaded himself at the top. Most of us headed on foot while the chopper circled the castle to give us an overwiew and support. First to arive on ground was our sniper. He took position to cover the only entrence until backup arrived. It didnt take long before a cuple of bullets came flying in his direction. He moved alittle back while the killer laught on the radio. The rest of us moved in from diffrent angles. Now we where ready to move inn trough the entrence. We spoted a man on the first floor with a duble barrel shotgun. He bearly managed to squice of a shot before 2 m4 cco sd gunned him down. The whole castle was lighted up by the gunfire. We quicly moved up to the next floor. I trew a smokegranade up trough the stairs to the next floor while the team move up. The sound of sd m4's and ak74 fils the castle in a huge firefight between us and 2 other maniacs. We loose 1 guy but both the maniacs go down in the prosses. The killer himself is still alive. He had now moved to the roof. We quicly moved up and counted down for our final run up to the roof. 3...2...1... Bullets flying everywhere. I feel they strafing my head while our bullets drop the killer. Finaly silence. All we could hear is the chopper landing on the field next to the castle. The adreanline was still pumping while we looted the corps to gather up our fallen team mates stolen gear.

As the topic say, this tread is made for gathering up all those epic rocket forum answers. I know there is alot of them. I wil start off with one that made me lough my ass off:)

No prob:) its from one of my tread. http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/92878-how-many-registered-users-are-stil-active/page__st__100#entry909652

It is?? I tried to look for one, but could not find any. I might delete this topic later when i get home and look some more:)

A big shoutout to the boys from Mercs4Hire for making their server UK 57 such a awsome server with their own ekstra addons, and for helping out a survivor in desperate need of assistent. making everything about DayZ even more interesting. Basecamps, C130 crashsites, working debugmonitor+++ Absolutly awsome work.

Yeah:) Well you already know the name of the clan that owns it. Their homepage is Mercs4hire.co.uk Its a veteran server. Croshair on, 3d person on. Everything else off. Gmt+1 i think. But not shure of that. Lots of exstra addon goodies. More zombies. Tent duping fixed ammoduping fixed. Their is also a TS3 server running where all players who use the server can join. They wil also set up aditional servers for all the new maps.

Privatehive servers is the answer:) if a hacker shows up and destroy your day. You simply contact the admins, they find the hacker and bans his ass back to the stonage. Then they roleback the server to before it happend. And you can continue from where you got cut off. Yes its that simple:)

I've been looking on the dew blog every day, to keep me updated on stand alone project and new alpha patches. But unfortunately, there has not been anything new there since the blog was opened. Is there really so little going on atm? Or is the team too busy to give us any news there?

Twiter, tumbler, dews blog, facebook. I follow it all. I was hoping for more info, screencaptures, teaser videos. Havnt been said anything for almost a week.

If you ever find yourself on Skalisky Island. RUN!! They say that the Skalisky Witch roams around there at night with a axe, killing defensles survivors. I have seen her myself, luckely she spared my life. But only after she had knocked me out and taken all of my gear. I was standing on the open plain viewing the small town and lighthouse in the moonligh. Suddenly i heard a horible scream from a woman. I looked closer at the lighthouse and thats when i first saw her. She was scouting out to the open sea, calling and screaming for her husband lost at sea. I wil never forget how horrible it sounded. The sound gave me goosebumps. I grabed the M24 and started to aim for her. The second my scope hit her she instantly turned around and looked straight at me. Before i could shoot she disapierd. I tried to convince myself i had imagined it all. But when i turned around, there she was. 20cm from my face. I seriusly craped my pants and almost fell of my chair. She then knocked me out. When i woke up, i had nothing. All my gear was gone. I quicly got up and ran as fast as i could to get out of there.

I have now tested out the privatehive concept over the weekend. And man, that was so much more fun. Alot less shoot on sight behavior. And a whole lot of players to actualy team up with. Yeah there is a chance of hackers there aswell. But on private hives, they actualy do somthing about it. We where 8 guys in the store in stary sabor. We all got instakilled by a minigun from a jet taking down the whole building. In public server, we would have to find a difrent server while the hacker could troll the server for hours. While on the private hive, the admin instantly baned the hacker, and roled back the server so everyone could continue from the place they where before the hacker had fu it up. Latly i havnt been playing that much dayz becouse of the hackers. Just been playing a cuple of hours until getting killed by a hacker, and then playing something else for a cuple of days. But this weekend have been all about dayz, with hours and hours of fun on the privatehive.

Hmm, did my boss give you that graph? Looks just like the one our boss shows us everytime salery is up for discusion?!:D That was by far the most funny post yet xD

Im really happy they wil implement the dogs in this alphatest. It wil bring a whole new experience to the game. But im really worried about how they wil effect a game with so many hackers. Wil the dogs become yet another tool for the hackers to scare more people away from the game? I dont think any normal player would enjoy 50 exploding dogs or whatever spawning around them. Ofcourse its fun the first time you see it. But like every other hack that kills you, it gets old quick.

Wel i had a interesting night. This is what happend. Me and my buddy had come acros a tent with a lot of satchelcharges, so we dicided to try blowing up some bandits down in electro. Wel it didnt take long untill we encountered our first bandit. Right by the powerplant i went down to place a charge in tge top of the firestation with my friend covering me from the hill. I didnt even get halfway down before a bandit sudenly stood next to my friend trying to shoot me. My friend tok him out quick with the mark48. After i placed the charge i was on my way up again when my friend got killed by another bandit. I recognized the nameplate on my way up as one of the server admins. The steep hill made me loose him for awhile just long enogh for him to hide and wait for me earning him another kill. I spawned right next to electro and manage to get up to the hill again just in time to see my charge go off. A disarming goone wrong maybe?? Sweet revenge i though. But wait. Kicked by sqript restriction #20???? what a suprise. When i finaly got back inn the building was fixed and admin was nowhere to be found. So i thought to myself, fu this coward. We switched servers and met up by the store in electro. We started looking for food and weapons and made our way over to the powerplant again. And to our suprise, all the cars on the map was parked around the powerplant. My friend ran straight over to one of them, jumped in and KABOOOM. Hackercars that explode and kils everyone inside but dont get destroyed. I tought, ok that was actualy little funny and creative. That was until i got shot in the head by a as50. Thats really not wery creative. Either way, a wery busy night x)

i wish i was able to be of any help. But sadly. i only know how to play games. not fixing things in them :unsure:

I have a fun ide for the standalone. This is actualy inspired by a funny tinfoil hat remark Rocket posted to a guy on a forum tread i made today. This is a sugestion that may be alittle complicated to make. Picture yourself the radio that is imposible to find right now. And really dont have any function. What if its put into the standalone. You are lucky to find it maybe up by the radio tower. While walking around you suddenly pick up a fm radiosignal. You hear a voice from a mobile housewagon radiostation. Just like the movie 2012. A crazy guy in a tinfoil hat rambeling on about how the goverment screwed us all, and the world have come to a end. You search around the area and find the station parked somewhere in the wods. (random place on each server restart) you interact with the door, and you wil be given map cord for a helicrash.

Ah damn x) color me stupid. I was shure it ment setting it up at home with your own private server in the house. I need to check this out some more. I didnt bother to check, since i was shure i needed to buy hardware for it.

To futuere refrence. Please let things that have been said in the past, by Rocket and any other who got anything with the development to do stay in the past. Its alowed to change mind. Its what happening now that is importent.

I like this ide. But is there enogh privatehives out there to fit everyone that are still active in the meantime? And what can be done to make more people set up privatehives?
