  1. www.5thelement.torlaunch.com Welcome to the 5th Element general information and recruitment thread. This thread has been created to prevent information from being spread all across the forums, and will contain all the latest news and updates about 5th Element in one compiled "All you need to know'" thread. Officially originated as a Tera Online guild in May 2012, 5th Element added a DayZ branche in July and as a result it grew exponentially and continues to do so. What started out as a public Teamspeak hub for fellow players to meet and group up, quickly evolved into a structured organization. While we may have evolved, the original "open door" policy for the teamspeak server will never change. Wether you want to find some fellow survivors around the globe to group with or just hang out and chat a bit, everyone is still welcome at all times. You can even use our teamspeak to create seperate channels for you and your friends only. Some may call us a clan, guild, team, squad or community, we simply refer to ourselves as 5th. While we are not a leaderless organisation. the 5th Element will always aim to keep it's members and guests as free from restrictions as possible. Effectively allowing them to enjoy their games in the way they enjoy most. We are a international community with members from all around the globe, set in a democratic environment. All 'Major' decisions will be decided upon by internal polls. No matter where your from or what you look like, everyone is equal. As the organisation grows you may find some members empowered with additional rights. This does not effect their 'importance' at all, as their votes and voices will have the same volume as those of a newcomer on it's first day. Please bear in mind that some situations might require instant adjustments, therefore the 5th Administration team holds the right to edit or modify any rule or regulation without prior notice. This will only happen rarely, and you can be sure of it that the person(s) involved had good reasons for doing so. 5th Element Teamspeak Server 80.69.77.101:10918 No password required *Slots will increase once needed. See below for the 5th Element Teamspeak rules and regulations 5th Element DayZ Server US 2890 5th Element SurvivalServers.com No password required See below for the 5th Element DayZ rules and regulations The final server config we will be using is as followed: 3rd Person: On (Allows you to view your character in a 3rd person perspective) Tracers: On (Gunfire will dsplay visible tracers) Map waypoints: Off (You cannot use shift+click to set a ingame waypoint) Crosshairs: Off (3rd person crosshairs are not displayed) Nametags: Off (Other survivors name and distance are not displayed) For any questions, suggestions, idea's or complaints, please visit our server section on our forums, by following the link here While 5th Element will never force it's members or guests to pay a single cent, donations are encouraged to keep our services running. Press the button below to donate. Thank you! *All donations that go over the required monthly costs will go to the next month* While we much rather refer and limit them to general guidelines, certain boundaries must be in place. Some may be rules, some are guidelines while others are just tips and suggestions. Below you will find a compiled list of the general behavior that is requested, aswell as a description explaining them. 5th Element 1. Maturity and common sense. As it is 5th Element's policy to keep limits to a minimum, we do not impose a age limit. We have members from all cultures around the world, and while there is a higher probability a older person is more mature, it is definatly not defined by age. We do expect our members to resolve situations in a mature and appropiate manner, using their common sense to the best of their ability. There is a flipside to this 'All age' policy, since we do not limit our members profanity either. Upon joining or using any of the 5th Element services, you may be subject to abusive language, 18+ discussions or any other form of communication that may offend you. The 5th Element withdraws itself from any responsebility in this area, and exercises a 'own risk' policy. Often one just needs to get a thicker skin, but in extreme cases for example racism or legal issues, measures can be taken. All issues can be thrown up and open for discussion on our forums. Again, common sense. 2. Be friendly, patient and show respect. 5th Element is a new(bie) friendly organisation. Not everyone has aquired as much knowledge of a game or any other mechanic as you do, we therefore ask you to be friendly and patient when someone runs into a issue. We are all human beings, wich also means people can have a shitty day and we dont expect them to smile all the time. You can be who you are, and if things dont work out simply take a step back and try again later, or look for a other solution. Communication is key here. 3. Ability to speak English. As we are international, we can expect people to less adept at our main language for communication. To some people, English may be a 2nd,3rd or even 4th language. This is perfectly fine, aslong as people can understand what's being said. Out of respect to others we also speak English in any form of public communication, like Teamspeak and Forums. People are allowed to talk in their native language if there are no other people present, or they have clearly stated they do not mind. However, it is advised that you simply create a temporarely channel if you feel the need to speak in your native language. 4. Short, clear communication and use of appropiate channels. As the membercount and teamspeak users increased we quickly experienced a clusterfuck in our main lobby channel. Having 20 people in a channel spread across the map trading goods, asking questions and calling out enemy positions obviously does not work all that great. We have therefore implended tons of specific channels, make use of them. I'm not saying it's not possible, as we had large amount of players in the same channel with perfect communication. It is up to the users wether to cut down on the chit-chat and use short/clear communication or simply join a different channel for the time being. 5. Fair and legit gameplay. Surely we are not saints and have made smart use of certain glitches or faulty game mechanics. However, we will never make use of hacks, exploits or cheats that have a direct influence on other people's gameplay experience. This includes but not limited to: Alt+F4, ghosting, 3rd party programs, admin abuse etc. As upcoming server admins we promote a fair and equal gameplay experience for everyone. Since we are not completely in control and have eyes and ears everywhere, people are encouraged to state their issues on our forums. 6. Activity. Pretty self explanatory, be a active part of our community. We all have our responsebilities and duties to take care of. So we do not mandate a required hours online. Play with us whenever you can and want to, no strings attached. We do appreciate it however if you leave a short notification if your about to make a 6-month world trip. Also, it is highly suggested you visit our forums on a regular basis to stay up to date on all the latest news, events and updates. 5th Element is currently running 1 event(s). Click to proceed. 5th Element Combat Rescue Operations If you like to play in a group, hang out and make friends and approve of the way we go about things, you have come to the right place. Due to the huge amount of enthusiasts,we have intensified our application methods. It may require a bit of work, but to many it has been worth the effort - and then again, what kind of members do you think we are looking for? ;) Step 1. Write up a application as a reply to this thread, or on our own forums located here For easy acces you can use the optional format below (This has 0% influence on the probability of acceptance) Keep in mind this is your first impression, it's better to review it once than to do a quick half-assed job.

    Vilayer can you get your act together?

    Hey, When i first tried to rent a server at vilayer I transferred the funds and a couple of hours later when I checked the status page it said it my account was blocked. This gave me a very bad first impression. I got their teamspeak adress later on by a clanmember and hopped on to their TS to find out what was going on. It turned out there was a problem with a module on their site, and they had people working on it. Granted I have not been a customer for very long, I have nothing but good things to say about them. Yes there can be a rather large quantity of technical issues at times, but their team is devoted to help you out. While they have to work with a alpha version and half of the issues are not caused by them, they even helped me out with things that aren't even 'their' job to do so. And that means more than anything to me, even in the middle of the night at ungodly hours they do their best to help you out. I'm glad i'm able to work with humans instead of machines, and I felt I had to come to their defense on this one. As unconvienent this may be, the best solution right now is to be patient. I'm 100% confident that if they aren't already, they will work on this immediatly as soon as they find out. Regards, Drasqo
  5. TS back up. Let's hope it stays that way.
  6. Current update on Teamspeak issues. Dear Customer, Network failures Unfortunately I must inform you that the network of TransIP (*), which InstantVchat.com uses, has been unstable in the past few days. After years of virtually trouble-free service there were several network failures which caused your voice server(s) to disconnect or difficult to reach. Obviously we are do everything to solve these network issues as soon as possible. * For updates of the network of TransIP pleae see the following website: http://www.transnoc.nl/ (dutch only) DDOS attack Besides the network failures we've registered a DDOS (**) attack at ts3.instantvchat.com (80.69.77.74). If your (TeamSpeak 3) voice server uses this IP, then it is currently unreachable. InstantVchat.com can handle DDOS attacks quite well normally, however this attack is of such a size that a temporary closure is inevitable. Once the DDOS attack is over the block will disappear and your server is reachable again. For information about DDOS attacks ** see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributed_denial-of-service We apologize for the inconvenience caused. For questions please send an e-mail to info@instantvchat.com or use the contact form on the website. Sincerely, Pieter Zandbergen InstantVchat.com
  7. If you ever happen to be short on the security detail, drop me a message. We could problaly help out with about 15-20 guards.
  8. Our server is now updated to 1.7.2.4, aswell as the required and running arma version to 95389. The serverbrowser might still show the older version, this should change once the info has been parsed.

    FIX FOR BEING KICKED!!!!

    Follow the instructions more carefully. You have to launch each of them first to allow steam to perform its first time setup

    FIX FOR BEING KICKED!!!!

    Works, thanks
  14. You have to add the port 10918 into it. so.. ts3.instantvchat.com:10918
  15. Replies send and added to new usergroup. Once I spot any of you on teamspeak ill add you to a server group there aswell, allowing you acces to a few more channels/forum sections
  16. I had the same problem, please read the possible solution here http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/44735-server-doesnt-show-up-using-remote-read-this/
  17. Alright, as most of you already know you can still play DayZ if you use the remote option. If you don't know how yet, follow this link I seen several post about people unable to see the server even using the remote button option described in the link. I had the same problem, until I tried launching the game trough sixlauncher first. For some reason, the remote option doesn't show the server if you start arma manually, so make sure you launch it trough sixlauncher first, before using the remote button. Also make sure that when you use copy paste for the ip, you dont accidentally paste a space before the ip. Let me know if this worked for people who didn't saw the server at first.
  18. Alright. Replied to your post there, moved it to applications.
  19. It's why we have these try-outs. Not only are they for us to see if a player fits in our community, it's also to give the player a feel about us before making a more long term commitment, as neither of us want people who sign up,join and vanish. If you both could sign up at our forums with a user account so you can be added, that would be great. You don't have to re-write your application, just a link or say so is sufficient :)

    Looking for a team...no...a group.

    Well you may not interested in the slightest bit, as we are a clan/team after all, but I figured I drop you a link to some information nonetheless. As 'democracy' and 'no obligations' are pretty much our primairy goals, you might wanna give it a read whenever you have some spare time to kill. http://dayzmod.com/f...uitment-thread/
