I don't even...I think most of the people posting in this thread are missing the big picture here, I just read the full 5 pages and am awed at the assumptions made by some of the posters, especially the pro-private. This debate is quite simple, imho, because it's summed up by this: - DayZ in its inception was a mod. You didn't pay for it. You supported BI, and many people paid for hosting servers, because they love the concept. Later on, private hives emerged, mainly due to the unrefrained and unstoppable hackers due to client based engine. I played in the former, and the latter. Yes I played in several private hives and had a lot of fun. There's that. And the fact that most modders worked and communicated (and still do) actively with Dean to improve the standalone. - DayZ Standalone is NOT a mod. This isn't up for grabs or for changes as the server owners or their communities see fit. Either you like it or not, it's Dean's and BI's call to do whatever they want and envision with this game, that you willingly paid for even through the obvious pre alpha warnings. Personally I think that complaining or ask for ways to modify this game is close to asking DICE if mods are supported in BF4. Which, obviously, they replied with a NO. Is it just me or this is a bit absurd to begin with? I think this thread is moot because it's not even being considered "opening up" a retail (when it's done) game to modding by the community, due to it obviously disregarding and going "against" the original vision of the creator. If you want control over your servers, you have it on the mod, it's all good! Just my two cents, G P.S. I'm loving the experience in DayZ SA so far. Seriously, back to old school :D

I've played quite a bit on this server, and although I praise the admins work, which is for the best and helps a lot with hackers, I'd like to leave my feedback along with the reasons I'm leaving the server: - Side channel chat: I know you can turn off VON, but that'll turn off the direct chat as well and that is crucial to gameplay. The chats going on are completely disruptive to the gameplay. Guys screaming, cursing, asking for directions and help in game, I've been more than once in tense situations looking for a player, hearing for footsteps and other audio cues, and there's some guy screaming on side channel. This absolutely sucks and ruins it. The admins do stand up and tell them to shut up (and eventually ban if they ignore the advice), but it's still disruptive nonetheless. - Nameplates: well this one I knew when coming in, but after playing for a week I can't cope with. Pointing my crosshair at a bunch of bushes and getting a "??? (Survivor) - x meters" takes all the stealth out of the game, and the point in having a rangefinder or sizing up the distance using the milidot scopes. - The loot tables must be changed, I've found 5 heli crash sites during the week and ... they all had FN FALs. Only FN FALs. 3 per crash site. I might be extremely unlucky, but I've never had this happen in 3 months of playing in public hives. - Admins awarding AS50 TWS for the events. IMHO, the L85AWS is the most unbalanced/game changing legit weapon, and you throw the thermal as50 into gameplay? I'm not even grieving, I only died a couple of times and had my share of kills and looting around and having fun with the vehicles (which are awesome) and a couple of friends playing with me. I wish the admins and the rest of players the best, Greets, G

No worries, I found the TS server in the shoutbox :) Hunterkilla, I did register on the site, but still waiting for admin approval. Cheers and thanks for the replies, G

Hello guys, I was browsing through the thread and didn't find the TS or DayZ server info, do you usually share it by pm? Been playing alone for the last couple of weeks and am missing the group experience :) Cheers, G

Hello, 32 year old from Portugal here, interested in joining you guys, sounds like a great group! Reasonably experienced (been playing since June), have TS and mumble. Cheers, G

Hey I'm close to you, may be able to help. Just sent request on skype. Greets, G

Best part: 1h05m50s, a hacker crashes a heli on their player. Priceless!

Are you portuguese?

I find this thread quite amusing actually. Being around for some months now, I remember very clearly the complete chaos that these forums were in when the bandit skins (the full ones) were removed and before being re-added. "omg this is PVP fanfest" "KOS, KOS everywhere!" "Please bring bandit skins back, it's the only way to make it fair!" and so on and so forth. Now, you have bandit skins, and from my personal experience it has lowered the KOS mentality, so for me it's a win, even though the system -is- flawed and should get reworked for the standalone. Cheers, G

I agree that the 2 weapon loadout is mostly for pvp. If you are weapon hunting, you should be fine with using just a main weapon (from those two, I'd choose the DMR for the versatility and fire rate). I use this setup while playing solo (daytime), using a coyote backpack: SVD Camo - 4 mags M4a1 CCO SD - 4 mags M9SD - 4 mags 4 Bandages 4 cooked meat 2 water bottles 2 blood bags 2 morphine injectors 2 painkillers 1 epi-pen 1 antibiotics Leaving me with 4 empty slots, which is perfectly fine since I don't really need to pick up anything aside from raw meat to cook. When grouping, I usually am spotting so I swap the m4 for the L85AWS2. Greets, G

I'd have to say that it depends on what I'm up for. When I wanna hunt bandit snipers: SVD Camo L85AWS2 Ghillie When I wanna help survivors: Hero skin M249 M4 CCO SD Medical supplies Greets. G

+1 KGCxKING - traded a AS50 for a SVD Camo, trade went smooth, would definitely trade again. Greets, G

Thanks for the trade man, gonna leave some positive feedback on the thread! Cheers, G

Hey, I think just re logging cures illness. Otherwise wait it out, the blood will stop dropping at 6k and I think you get ok after that. Greets, G

Hey man, I'll give you an AS50 (or a DMR, if you prefer) with a couple mags for that SVD, lost mine due to the "spawn-at-beach-with-no-gear-whatsoever-but-keeping-debug-stats-and-ghillie" glitch :( Greets, G
