You can just play public hive. Just check "hide unofficial" in DayZ Commander. TMW owns 2 public hive server, US1503 and EU2419 if you'd like to try those out. Otherwise I know BMRF has 3 vanilla private servers.

I have lots of crazy stories, but it seems the ones I enjoy the most are the times when someone holds me up or kidnaps me and leave me for dead. Is there something wrong with me?

I still say worth. At least you get some rest. I just miss the days where you could combat roll over and onto tents, and could use them to get to places you normally can't.

Thanks, it's what I love to do on DayZ, help people, no matter the situation. And if you happen to get a chance to meet up, I still have a character ready to go when you need him, I'll just have to walk about 100m to find a car.

Hey man, we have someone who can help you out, just hop on our teamspeak ts.dayzmedics.com

Run in town, get a melee weapon, raid the hospital, and head inland. I can get everything else more safely inland and I don't need a map anymore.

I'd love to go in a get the gear to help, however I'm very busy today, if you can wait until Wednesday I could give it a go. That or maybe someone else would like to help you.

Sounds like you might want a firehouse. Has 3 big doors you can fit most vehicles in (although not a bus probably) and tower you can go up in and shoot outside from. You can also sort of glitch from inside to tower to the roof, however you have to take the ladder on the side back down. The roof is also big enough to land a heli on, just gotta be careful. On Chenarus there's 2 in Elektro, 1 in Cherno, and 1 at NWAF, however since you're running your own server, you could probably plop one down wherever you want.

Except you didn't answer his question at all. Your post was just agreeing with someone saying he shouldn't fly in the first place and the telling a silly story about how you crashed heli's, barely on topic. Sure his reaction was a little much, but at least this time, you didn't offer any useful information.

Is there a reason for the private hive aspect if all you want is vanilla? TMW owns 2 public hive servers (US1503 and EU2419) so you can check those out if you like, but our private server is currently Taviana with AI and will cycle maps sometime next month.

Well, I'll speak in terms of public hive Chenarus, as private servers can and will add whatever they damn well please. UH-1H (Huey): Location- Typically on Skalisty Island, North section next to the house in the woods Pros- 2 M240 mounted guns, carries up to 8 people, good balance of maneuvering vs. speed Cons- Location is a bit of a pain to repair at, can drop you while switching seats, tail is a bit long AH-6X (Little Bird): Location- Typically in on of the NE airstrip hangers Pros- VERY maneuverable (training wheels for a new flyer), small target, seems to do well on fuel, less to fix (only 6 glass), has an undercarriage camera in the cockpit Cons- A bit slow for a heli, only seats 2 people, no weapons, can hit the rotor with parachute, spawn location takes some skill to get out of Mi-17 (the Russian Lady): Location- Typically at Devil's Castle, hard to miss Pros- Very, very fast, has mounted guns, can hold a whopping 17 people, large cargo space Cons- Not very maneuverable, very large An-2 (Biplane): Location- Not sure about this one as I have only found one on my test server, I found that one at the far west hangar at NWAF Pros- Fastest air vehicle, manuverable, can take off nearly anywhere that has ~100m space Cons- takes some skill to land outside of airstrips (although still better than compared to actual planes and jets), has a tendency to stall if you rise too quickly, a bit fragile Hope that helps. I'd mess around on armory or the editor before you actually pursue these in a DayZ server. It really sucks to spend the time to gather all the supplies to fix a heli only to crash and burn 1 minute in because you couldn't handle it. Reference vid of above situation:

TMW has two public hive servers and a Taviana one soon to be up. http://tmwdayz.com/index.php?/page/articles.html/_/articles/server-information-r10 But as we are allied with Musty, I recommend them as well.

The TMW (trusted medics of the wasteland) servers are US1503 and EU2419. They're both public hive, welcome PvP, but are generally friendly as far as our regulars go.

The spawn distance seems to change a bit every patch. Usually beyond 200-300m you won't spawn zombies at all, which is a good distance to scout anyways. You can also tell by gauging how long zombies have been around. Usually if they're clumped together, near or inside buildings, you have spawned the zombies. And of course, if you hear or see aggro far away, you not only know other players are nearby, but they are also in town.

Posts in "New Player Discussion". Makes sense /sarcasm

Well on our servers, US1503 and EU2419 we got tents working on 1.8. I'm not sure if the hotfix broke it again, but if there's an issue, we'll get it fixed asap.

US1503 and EU2419. There are plenty still.

Check out US1503 and EU2419. They're vanilla servers on public hive with active admins and mods willing to help you out with any technical problems. And since it's a TMW server, there's more people working together, without completely removing the fear of PvP happening.

The problem is it's on a private hive, deep into the map, in one of the most dangerous places. Not all medics will be able to help you very quickly, and it may not succeed. I would try to do it personally, but I am busy in 10 hours. What I can do is post in our forums that you need help on a private hive, link to here and wish you the best.

Do you know your blood level IRL right now? I should hope not. Why would you expect your DayZ character to be able to? That's why they got rid of it, attempt at some extra realism. The blood icon gives you plenty of information on your health, that coupled with the cues of your vision/hearing and whatnot, it's pretty easy to tell when you're fine and when you're screwed. Knowing the exact number doesn't change anything. As far as the other stuff, your journal keeps track of your kills, you have a thermometer icon that tells you more than the debug temp, I don't know why would you need to know how many zeds are on the server, and I should hope you know your name.

Yeah, both hold breath and zoom in functions are preset to RMB. This is because on most guns you don't have to use variable zoom in order to range your shot and aim before firing, so people don't have to think about holding their breath. You can either rebind the hold breath, or use the numpad + and - keys to zoom the scope in and out. I opted for rebinding it to spacebar as it's not used in DayZ, but to each their own.

teamspeak is a pretty quick download/install typically, only took me 2 minutes today when I did it. If you still prefer not to do that, you should at least post your location on the map so the medic who responds isn't on the other side of the world. I can't help you atm, but I wish you the best of luck.

I wish I could play on here, gotta get my internet sorted out first.
