Server is amazing, connects fast, no log etc. Unfortunately some of their recruits are sorry ass dcing kids. I spawn near elektro and get an ak off a player I just killed in the firehouse. They have side chat enabled and AG-R Wutang, who I assume is a recruit is asking who is shooting in elektro. I let him know it was me. I start hearing explosions near sniper hill so I look up and spot a player. I start heading over and eventually I am fire upon. I told him over microphone he shot first and I am now going to kill him. We eventually end up in a face to face battle about a bodies length inbetween us. I put him down and he instantly dc's sending his body into the abyss. He instantly reconnects to the server and I call him out for dcing. Then people on the server start sticking up for him saying he was kicked by battle eye. Yea that makes total sense since he was just sprayng an m4 at me less than a second before it happened. Amazing server ruined by some little asshole who can't handle dying to a legit player. RANT over

As awesome as private hive is, there are tons of corrupt admins who abuse the powers. My hope would be that admins can only kick, ban and restart the server. Nothing more

I was actually hoping admins would have the crazy abilities they currently have taken away. All the private hives I have taken part in have admins that are in a clan/group that literally rule server. Teleporting vehicles, spawning in items, US-LA even has the only choppers in the server spawn off map in their own base, which is basically unreachable without a chopper. How do they get to this said base when they die? Teleport themselves back to the base of course.

Having safe zones kills it for me, otherwise sounds good

Once I found a private hive I never looked back. The game has been far more enjoyable the last month or two. My only problem is the admins in the private hive I was playing in hoard items off map and even spawn all the choppers at their base in debug. I delt with it long enough and the final straw was when my tents started disappearing on a regular basis. There was no way for me to stock up on items with tents disappearing and hackers teleporting all vehicles every few days. I have tried looking for a new server but I am pretty picky on what I am looking for. If you have any suggestions I am up for trying. What I would like in a server. 1. Little to no night-time 2. Steady server population of atleast 20 3. Prefer servers with more than the standard vehicle amount 4. Admins who are not spawning in items and basically playing God over the whole server.

Thank God someone mentioned it. Once you go bandit your game future is set. I can't show my face to do nice things when I new spawn because when they see the bandit skin its 100% KOS. I don't regret being a bandit at all since I love hunting players, but hero's have it much easier.

I guess myself and the multiple corpses at kamenka bridge are the only people who agree with OP. I only take spawns within reasonable distance to Cherno or Elektro. I can loot up off corpses and get some of the best gear in the game in no time. If I die by someone killing a fresh spawn then I don't mind so much because I did not invest a shit load of time. I have not even been to the NWAF in ages since the overload of hackers. This is me playing solo, I am sure if I was grouping I would be exploring the map for vehicles and stuff.

Used my normal tactic of logging out on top of cherno sniper tower behind the ladder with minimal gear and logging in on a high pop server. As I spawn in I hear the lovely sound of buzzing flies around multiple bodies. Jackpot! I run around to the front and find a 3 sniper team doing the usual jackass stuff. I have an akm with 1 clip and I lay in to them all without taking a shot. With what they had and the dead bodies already there I could have claimed 2 coyote packs, 3 as50's, 2 l85 thermals, 1 m4a1 cco sd, 1 dmr, 1 m9sd, 4 sets of NVG, rangefinder, gps, and plenty of ammo for it all. Being a solo player it breaks my heart to bury all that stuff in the ground, but it had to be done.

I meant to say I buried the stuff I could not carry lmao. I definitely geared up with an as50 l85 m9sd and a pack full of ammo

Damn the as50 thermal, and all thermal guns for that matter. I am completely guilled out with an svd camo and it means nothing. Next time I get a chance to loot a thermal sniper I am taking it 100%. After sneaking up on a guilled out sniper with an as50 thermal on west elektro hill I hide his body and keep my weapons. After moving around a bit to get a good position I start getting fired on from the main sniper hill which by range finder shows me its about 1100 distance away. Near miss and I luckily did not die, however I am sure he is also using thermal since I was covered in camo next to a bush. I love sniping but having thermal completely ruins any stealth aspect in this game. I feel like if you have thermal you are the head of the food chain and anyone else has to hope you are an idiot or spend an hour trying to flank you without detection. Yes I am adding to the fact that this forums is 90% rants.

I think the FAL seems so popular to spawn at crash sites because that is what people leave behind. It is basically the last spawned weapon I would want. When I leave a crash site I always write on the map what items are left for everyone to loot.

I used to leave the coast until hacking ruined it for me. My goal now is just to hang in cherno or elektro death matching or sniping. Plenty of top lvl weapons to be found by killing people who are preying on the weak.

Instead of killing me a hacker just took all my equipped items and items in my inventory from me. Welcome change from being dropped from the sky and losing everything. I still have my backpack and the extra gun that was there.

I found one a few days ago next to a building that was also spawned in. I placed a satchel charge from the box next to it and blew it as I left with my spoils. I don't know if it destroyed the box for sure but it looked to catch fire.

I joined a server once, and in the same area of your screenshot there were about 50 zombies in that outfit hanging from the sky by nooses. Also the entire city of cherno was packed with buses and if you would start one up and drive 30 ft it would explode.

He did not even dc quick enough. I got the kill and was just robbed of the loot due to dc.

I killed a hacker once and he dropped a tree on my body. Was pretty pissed but laughed it off.

I would humbly request that the nice hackers who make ammo boxes and crates near the coast for new spawns, please start putting some backpacks in those crates. I would like to have not only 1, but 2 amazing primary weapons in the first 5 minutes of playtime. Thank you again for your generosity. I don't know what a radio or a laser spotter do but I now have them on my toolbelt. Yea this thread was not what you expected, I know.

For me it has to be the skins. Not because I don't like the idea of being shown as a bandit or hero. The reason I hate it so much is because of the glitch that happens when your skin randomly changes. I have lost way too many backpacks full of guns to enjoy this game any further. In case some of you are not aware if you are a bandit, you will always spawn on your next life in the bandit skin. After walking around the game for awhile and doing whatever you please your skin will randomly change to a civilian. During this process your backpack is turned into a patrol pack and anything more than 8 slots is gone. This encourages me to kill anybody I may see in my early life to keep my bandit skin and not get fucked over by a glitch. I am ranting about this now because I just lost a svd camo and m24 along with a coyote pack. I don't know why rocket would keep something in the game that has fucked it up so bad.

Read the post kid, this happens shortly after spawn. I went back to retrieve my dead body which had all the gear. Though it can also happen at any time in the game when your skin auto-changes. Also go to hell

Found a damn coyote pack in the firehouse of cherno, along with an m16. Thought this was going to be a great life. Head to med tents as my last stop before going after snipers. Get shot at heading to tents and I thought I knew where the guy was so I tried to chuck a nade out the tent. This game has the worse grenade mechanics I have ever seen, so of course it bounces back off an invisible wall and I have to run the fuck out. The blast still hits me a bit and knocks me unconcious. I disconnect because no way in fuck is that guy getting my pack. I go to a low pop server so I can die and retrieve my body. First spawn is Prig, which was amazing. Seconds after spawning I read "SERVER WILL RESTART IN 5 MINUTES". FUCKING FUCK FUCK FUCK. I literally made it 30 seconds from my body before session lost.

I did not know they had this power, interesting

The only reason I dont go north anymore is because I am the victim of servers being hacked daily. No reason to grind gear to die by that bs when I can just do a little cherno deathmatch.

would help if you were white jesus

I recommend everyone try it. I only played for about 4 hours but it was way better than regular Day Z. I randomly meet 2 other guys not long after spawning. They knew the map somewhat well but none of us knew eachother. Tons of people call friendly from my experience and I did not get one murder during my game. We decided to head to the prison at the far NW which has 4 barracks in it. Not a 10th of the way there we stumble upon a fully operational blue wagon. We hop in and head North stopping at another military esque outpost. We walk the rest of the way because a tire blew. Raided the barracks twice and had still not seen another survivor in the area. Got a DMR, coyote pack, M16A2 M203, M4A3 cco, mp5sd, m9sd, range finder, and tons of other weapons not worth mentioning. So far it is a very enjoyable experience and looks so much better visually in my opinion. You can go into the majority of the buildings from my experience.
