I was not saying YOU. I wrote that due to what i read and understood on your rules. I apologize if it may have sound...angry or bad. It wasn't my intention. I was merely saying an opinion regarding your server' rules ;) I'm starting today, so let's see how good it is ;)

Along with a friend, we are constantly looking for servers where to struggle against AI instead of KoS players. So we'll try it out. I read the rules, and i don't like this thing in particular: If your vehicle is taken away, even if it's hidden and with gear while you are disconnected, then you lose it. I know it's your server, so...your rules. No complaints there. But i don't think you should penalize a player for having a life. No one (at least no one with a right mind) can stay online constantly. Also, i may not want to create a base. I may just be a wanderer, with a bike (for example). If this could be somehow changed, it would be great. My suggestion would be something like: * If a vehicle is unatendded for X days in a row, then it will respawn. Gear or no gear. * If a vehicle "looks" to be hidden and it has 5 or more items in gear, it cannot be taken away. At least, as a ruling. Obviously every player will do what he/she deems fit, but i believe it can be a workaround to risk losing your hidden vehicle while you are at work. Again, not trying to be disrespectful. Your server, your rules. Just giving my opinion/suggestion. I'll be trying it out nevertheless today or tomorrow. See you there! Verdeloth

Hello survivors and bandits! For the last few days i was getting this...need, on getting back to DayZ. I used to play it a lot for some months...but that was like a year ago (then i purchased a PS3 and well...my little spare time was redirected to that, obviously). But now that the whole console hype is gone, i wanted to resume my life as a zombie survivor. I would like to know a couple of things that were an issue by the time i was playing. 1) Due to free space i think i uninstalled the Arma 2 game (I'm at work right now...not really sure) and the DayZ Commander. Is it still a hassle to reinstall both games and the DayZ mod? 2) How is the situation working now with hackers? 3) I don't mind bugs, considering it's a free mod and it's in alpha, but out of curiosity...was the tent/vehicle saving bug solved? I remember that there were issues saving new gear inside a tent/vehicle when the servers restarted. 4) How about maps? I got to play Lingor Island, but i think i read that there were lots of new maps. 5) Any other suggestions to restart the game that you can give me...it would be great :) Thanks a lot in advance!

Mmm to be honest, in my case i also play on a server that restarts every 8hs, and so far my saved vehicles stay where i saved them, no issues at all. The only pesky thing is that every time the server restarts, RANDOMLY, the vehicles/tents (altogether) will either appear...or not. But i was able to test with time that they DO remain on the spot. So maaaaybe, you might find your vehicle on the same spot you saved it on the next restart, or the next one to that. At first i thought it worked like: even restart -> vehicles/tents displayed. odd restart -> vehicles/tents -> not displayed. Later i tested out that i may have my vehics/tents displayed for 2-3 restarts in a row, as i may not :P So, as long as you save the vehicle, it "should" stay where you left it (as said before by others, as long as it doesn't get stolen/blown away), whether you see it or not. Try waiting for the next server restart, or the next one even, to see if it is displayed.

Awesome, i was just looking for a server since the one my group used to use just closed :( I'll email you in a bit ;) Thanks!

I'm getting Battleye script restriction #98 =/

Ugh...so i was on a ultra mega newbie server? =/ Thanks for the quick answer. Since i don't really log in on the same server when i play, i'll have to check that out before entering next time! =)

Hi all! So...i logged in yesterday for an hour and i noticed that all zombies were displaying some sort of glowing circle that covered their head and chest. Unfortunately, i didn't realise to get a screenshot of that, but i'll try to do it today if needed. The thing is that this glowing circle makes 2 annoying things: 1) Zombies can be easily identified for a long distance. 2) Zombies can also be seen behind structures, like buildings, cars, etc. I noticed that this also occurs with animals. So...this is the first time i've noticed that. Is it a bug? Is it maybe some sort of issue with that specific server?

So...status update! I have a couple of friends who joined the game with me as well. Got the chance to play solo and now (after some deaths in the way, last respawn was quite near 2 of them) i got to play in group for a while. Even though i got killed a couple of times (2 by players, 2 by broken bones in the middle of nowhere, and one that i logged on over a tree (?)...) i am still enjoying the game. Indeed, i believe one of the funniest moments is the initial search for gear when you don't have any weapons at all. I am starting to play in a group now, and the experience is, albeit different from solo, equally fun! I can easily say that i don't regret buying the game at all. This mod is great!

Hi all! I've been folowing this game for a looooooong time now. Checking the forums, youtube vids and so forth, and i was really hooked into the atmosphere of the game. And then came the Steam Summer Sale :P I've played some...4-6hs maybe in total. First time i spawned i don't think i lasted more than 30 mins due to a bandit killing me. I'm on my second re-spawn. So far i've found a better backpack, a Winchester, a Lee Enfield, ammo (this last 2 on my pack for a friend joining also), coke cans, a watch (?) and some food, as well as other useful items. Traveled through some small towns, got chased by Zombies, got HIT by zombies...lost 9k hp...but i'm still having a lot of fun!! i'm trying not to use any website maps to discern my location since (now at least) i want to play it and enjoy it with the in-game given tools. I am not attached to my gear...i know i can die in any moment. So far i've tried to avoid other players (saw a couple in the distance). I am friendly enough, but i wont hesitate in killing if it comes to that. Overall, this game is great! Hopefully the devs keep updating the game more and more. I would prefer getting the bugs fixed before trying to implement something new though. See you in-game!
