Graz (DayZ)

You just said yourself that you move servers if you encounter night time. So I'm correct in assuming that you spend VERY little time bothering with night. I'm hoping you are aware that flares come as a stack of 10 and are extremely easy to find? Chem-lights are also a better alternative, but I'm sure you've considered that. I didn't mention anything about realism??????? It seems that you've become confused with your reply to an above post. My post is more that people aren't realizing that night is a different style of play. If you took a little bit of time and actually looked at my profile, you will see that I post support the topics you have mentioned. I am all for the improvement of night time play. Making it the same as day (something you are hinting towards) is stupid, this is one of the first games to have a real shift in time and I would hate to see people who have no idea what they are talking about ruin it. You do understand that putting attachments on guns, having powered cities and having more ambient light at night will not change the fact that you need to play differently at night? 1096 often has populations of 20-30 during 2-5 AM server time. Yes I have all the cool toys and night-time edge. I can tell you as someone who has earned what they have, while it's easy to get upset and say "man I'd have dominated him if I had NVG too". It is simply not the case, this is a game of recon and stealth, your situational awareness and tactical thinking are worth more then any equipment. Night time is fine, I would love improvements. Don't assume that it's broken because you haven't taken any time and effort in becoming good at the style of play. QQ never gets anything done, but if you've got ideas fire away.

The people who are complaining about night in this thread seem to have little to no experience playing at night. Most of this QQ is pointless, seeing as very few actually understand more than jumping on a server, seeing dark and leaving. If you want to jump around servers looking for a day time there is nothing stopping you. The moon comes up at night, at the start it is near pitch black. Yes moving around is difficult, however people who don't shoot and don't use vehicles have a massive edge. When the moon comes up spotting people becomes almost as good as day. Sound is unaffected at night, if you are in a populated cherno and are seeing people long before hearing them. You are most likely not playing stealthy enough to survive during the day time anyway... The same for zombies, you can hear them long before they here you if you are playing the game properly. Most snipers can't be used properly at night, there goes all the high tech issues. Even with NVG most sniper rifles are ineffective at long range due to incompatibility with a sniper rifle. ARs reign supreme at night, FAL and L8 are obviously amazing, but all the AR scopes are useable with NVG. Flares are your friend, they attract zombies and illuminate other players. Use you brain, if you throw a flare at someone they will shit their pants %90 of the time and alt+f4 or simply run. If they don't, they are most likely pretty solid so gtfo in a hurry. Night requires a different approach, different weaponry and different amount of thought. Play smart and you will appreciate the night time as much as day. For those that are day time only and are posting QQ about night, why are you complaining about an aspect that you take no part in? If you want to set up camp on a server, get used to playing at BOTH times, otherwise go play CoD, it's great for QQing and daytime play.

1.7.2.4 and new Versions Skalisty Island (Next to a house) Skulka Hill Please Note: As of update 1.7.2.4 the spawn locations for Hueys have been changed. Exact locations are currently unknown Unconfirmed spawn point : open field North of Berezino. It's a chance to spawn, so I wouldn't get too upset. Some servers won't have the UH for some time. You also can't discount jerks like me driving around with all the crap to repair one. They can get spotted, repaired and flown off in less than 5 minutes

I would love to see a bit more secure storage. The only guarantee for someone not stealing your stuff is if they can't find it, so I propose: A rarer version of tents should be something that is low storage, but can be hidden more easily. What you need: ('stash' item) (entrenching tool) (toolbox) Why is it here? Clans are very easily raided. Bigger camps = bigger target. Underground basing is EXTREMELY popular as an idea, this is a hybrid that will work in the ARMA engine. Your superior ill-gotten gains deserve superior protection! All it needs to be is a some ground and a bit of steel/tin poking out. It's findable, but only to the sharp eye. RP Reason Infected and bandits aren't particularly bright at looting. Sometimes we have that 'little something extra' hidden away for a rainy day. Night Vision goggles, and extra compass or maybe that can of mountain dew you've been saving for when it all goes horribly wrong at your camp. People like to bury things because it's easy, well concealed and only you know where you put it. What happens? Entrenching tool for digging the hole. Stash item for ya know... stashing Toolbox for a little bit more prestige And you have a tiny slice of salvation if careless bandits raise your camp to the ground. Some Balance discussion How much storage is enough? How rare should this be? Is this realistic? How compatible to the ARMA II engine is this? Would love to hear all your feedback, flame, praise and critical thinking!

It's quite simple, power stations consume petrol. Ergo you need someone near the power station to keep it running. (MIGHT require a rethink of tank distribution around the map) Power stations are a cool idea, I'm against lights in the way people are thinking, NVG are a very prestigious item and lights would actually make NVG un wearable. Dimly lit streets is closer to what I would like, so NVG still functions, but noobs can use towns to scrounge for stuff. Someone mentioned it before, but blowing them up would be crucial, I'm already thinking of getting a NVG equipped team to hit the power station, then clear out the streets with superior gear. Does arma have static defenses at all? Something (vehicle that doesn't move) with a flood light that's on top of some buildings would be great, that way light is a strategic resource.

Cold not agree more!!! Locking wasn't something I wanted, it's safety relies on not being found. My inventory thoughts was well below 9 (no hiding your L8, be a man and bring it with you) 5 is a good number, enough for a bottle of water, compass, box of matches and 1-2 other items you want to have access to should the worst happen

I agree, people with 40+ tents as a base is a little overkill. People with 40+ easily concealed, semi-underground tents is just madness. Maybe one per player? I don't know how feasible that is to ARMA though. Dropping the rate to next to nothing would be a shame however.

Tents would be more disposable if people had a secure alternative. As people wouldn't loose their awesome items do to tent gayness (I put my rangefinders in a full tent, it still hurts!) you'd find a lot more random stuff lying around in tents

Pitch black is a little bit too imbalanced for night time. I have always felt that night time accentuates the talent needed in this game, which is recon and stealth.I honestly like fighting when there's less light around, it has a very desperate feel to it. Night ops are very entertaining, especially when you are short on NVGs. A small change to flashlights or the natural light from the moon (full moon & no clouds is pretty much daylight) and I would get very excited for night time only servers.

It's great that you're reporting issues but you need to back it up. Put up some pics, a lot of teams have a frapser. Reason: More evidence = More traction

Vehicles are just like any other loot, they have a chance to spawn. (please correct me otherwise) So they can spawn as soon as the server hits, but if your unlucky you'll just have a bunch of bikes and boats for a little while. The clock starts ticking right away, but I'm %90 sure my server (been up for well over a week) has only seen one UAZ. I wouldn't just hunt spawn spots either, some locations are still being recorded and sometimes people will find a working one, drive it 30 meters into the nearest bush and forget about it

Don't be a hero, keep the gear. You will lose it soon enough I'm sure.

Agreed, plus the fact that someone is a server admin is irrelevant if they are cheating.

You should put a bullet through your heart and see if you can hang in there for a few minutes. Hemorrhaging makes for a very quick death, and also your body shuts down pretty rapidly it something knicks an artery. People don't magically die when shot, no; but their bodies will fall apart long before that point :)

Harder is always better! Only head shots is an interesting mechanic, but some of the .50 cals make a lot of mess. Those weapons are pretty much one shots, zombie/person/hulk/whatever. I agree that zombies in general should be a tougher challenge. Making them just tougher seems like a good solution, but maybe some zombies that are armed with hatchets or crowbars that do extra damage? I completely agree with Rising, better zombies means better PvP. People will think twice about sniping in cherno if zombies are better at hunting people down and are more robust

I'm going to ignore the "do not feed the trolls" sign You are unproductive, clueless and have no idea how to troll properly. This is a non-issue and a pointless tweak that would divert precious developer time away from real problems and useful improvements. I'm sorry that you struggle to hit a moving target but zeds/infected are fine with the super sprint.This idea most likely seemed brilliant when you were foaming at the mouth after being run down by some infected, but have a little think before you write something for the whole internet to see.

Spineless French people? Sounds like an oxy-moron to me. My blatant racism aside (send your hate mail, I'll read it while I have a baguette for some irony), Oshi and the guys he plays with are absolute legends that have done an amazing job promoting this game. I'm always against harsh penalties, this is the exception to the rule however. Please blacklist this server, the guys (sacriel & Oshi ect) are the absolute epitome of what you want out of Dayz gamers. If you do not respond to what happened, there will surely be negative repercussions for the game. Keep the streams and rage coming peoples!

Great to see responsible leadership!!! Sorry to hear that one of your guys was a tard, it happens in every clan though :( Hopefully everything goes well for you guys now that you've solved the problem :)

No sweat, it seems like your on top of things and that you're sorry the whole thing occured. While you can't right the initial wrong you've done your best and if gogy and the OP are able to get back on the server there's not a whole lot more to do. It seems there's been a pretty massive ban-wave coming through battle eye in the last 24 hours. Hopefully some kiddies will think twice before doing this kind of stuff. It'll be great when admins don't have to be stressed out about hackers and can get back to playing the game and just booting the foul mouthed/racist tools that are so much easier to police. Hopefully you've had a little bit of a think about your admin selection, I used to have the same kind of problems. Guys who are great players can make terrible leaders >_< I wouldn't presume to tell you how to run your own server, I'm just glad to see Kuya show maturity and expect better standards from his guys. To gogy, loved the video. You can tell your a legit player who's died and learned a few times :) Nice pick on the second guy too. Cheers to soldier and Oli's for answering the questions!!! I can see you have a good home :) Hopefully Infidel is satisfied that he got some justice.

You are most correct. If this is what it seems, then the ban should be lifted. I was just hoping to hear something from US 150, Theorix got to say his piece (seems fairly straightforward admin abuse) so they should be able to respond before they are dragged to the executioners block. But yes, I do agree, based on what is here so far the ban doesn't seem justified at all

Wait none of this makes any sense. Can we start again? infidel kills one of your clan, finds G3SD ammo which was left by a hacker you killed (why did you not report this????) Abusive admin kicks infidel (you've stated that this is fixed) Hacker kills your server in between you respawn, one of you finds a ghilli, plus 2 coyotes (that's a guess from the video, I can't be %100) Gogy comes on, kills 3 of your clan He his kicked about 1-2 minutes later (to 'flush out' the hacker) Ok that timeline isn't particularly realistic, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. It still leaves some questions, How did the three of you link up, find at least one ghilli suit + coyote packs so quickly after the hacker attack? Why didn't you kick everyone straight after the hacker killed all of you? (you showed a very fast response time in kicking gogy) Why did you hang around with all those items, knowing that you had a hacker doing the whole tp + kill everyone and that you were 'fixing' the problem Where did the original G3SD ammo come from? This is also the second thread for admin abuse, was that around the same time or a different abusive admin? Sorry for the million questions, I just can't restructure your story quite yet

I wasn't drawing conclusions, I'm just pointing out where the server host may have issued the ban from. I hope you read further as I was inferring that what you gave wasn't enough for a ban (regardless of my raised eyebrow) and it would be good to see what US 150 based their ban on.

I'm with these guys, Vilayer has been a great host and if you jump onto their team speak I'm sure you'll get your issue sorted. I hope you realize that just what is entailed in hosting a server? There's a lot of tedious chores and if you're getting frustrated by this, it might be an idea to rethink your purchase.

You had an L85 and a vehicle was in front of you when you logged into the server? That's fairly fishy, but it would be great to see something from US 150

You created a thread to complain about pointless threads? Ok my head has stopped spinning, it would be great to have an actual process for the reporting. Not just the usual "Read this shittys" but a form like they have on all the other support tickets
