JAJAJAJAJAJAJA, bring back da hive. If you need anything to get it done, let me know. This means that our old charachters will come back to life, right? ; )

That is what i am thinking for a long time. Most people playing SA would like to play Wasteland or such but just do not know that. They play SA cause it is hyped while Wasteland is not (or other mods KotH, BatlleRoyal...there are so many great mods for arma). The problem is that there are a lot of options for the majority to play the kind of game they enjoy. For me there is no option at all. There is just no other antigame like dayZ.

thx for the quick fix! really appriciate that you could make it so quick.

in all honesty, you might be right or wrong. worries are not unfounded but due to empirical data collected by actually playing the game this forum was created for. anyways we decided to support the server we are playing on right now and if the overall 120 slots which are available for vanilla dayZ right now are always full we will run our own server. or we go back to 1st person where slots never seemed to be a problem.

after we knew where to look, the first heli crash had one. this game : ) thx again.

wow, no shit? no wonder we do not find it but we could repair a fleet of cars in the meantime. thx for the info, we will adjust our search pattern.

can someone confirm if rotor parts are still in the game? looking almost for 2 weeks for it now and nothing. i am wondering maybe we look in the wrong places (industrial)? engine parts are rare but i could find some. i hear a heli regularily on our server so i guess this one had to be fixed sometime too. could we shoot the flying heli and salvage parts when it came down? not that i would do such a thing but we are getting quite desperate as you might imagine. if those parts are just very seldom it is a good job from the devs. those parts should be rare and to repair a heli should take quite some effort and time.

hey, good to know. if i die on the server we play now on i will visit your server and try it out. but do not count on it it will be anytime soon. i survived some crazy shit in the last weeks. *fingers crossed*.

can not agree more bullet_catcher. the 1.8.1 Zs were a big surprise and hooked me again to dayZ. i am pretty happy with the state of the Zs right now. they were not whimped down too much and can not be ignored. which happened after 1.7.7 too fast. but it was a hell of a week : )

wtf? where did i talk about low-high-pop servers? for me the growing popularity harmed dayZ as much as it did good. did not need it to start playing and do not need it to play on. if we get a hive back up and running due to the growing popularity, well that would be a good thing.

cool, did not know about that. thx for the info i will play a bit with it. edited: after a first look i think it might be not very usefull. steam wants to sell me that right now only 3 (in words: three) people on the planet are playing dayZ while about 10000 play SA. if i lookt to the server i play on (gametracker or wahtever) there are already 7 people on (and i doubt that this is really the last official dayZ server). something is wrong here, as always do not trust stats ... on the other hand does the ratio 10000:3 seems pretty interesting in a broader society context ; )

i am a bit worried about the SA players going to the mod due to the state SA is. i can see it in reddit, some new people in this forum and even in the TS we are there are coming new players to dayZ (mod). till now i have the impression that there were real interest or curiosity by most of them from what i read and heard. and it is never to late to experience what only dayZ can deliver so i am glad for them. it is not neccesary the kind of new players i am worried about but the sheer amount. the server we play on gets more people on by every day and it is just a matter of time till it is full. my hope is that most of them will try different mods and so they spread out. i was thinking about writing a steam review for the SA where i say bad things about dayZ to scare people away from it. but that would not be fair for some who really might enjoy dayZ as much as i do. while i am glad for them i just wish that the small ecosystem of dayZ i am living in right now won't get disturbed to much. never thought about it before, but i wonder what would be neccesary to get an own server running? *investigate*

i did not even notice cause i always stop to catch my breath. i read about it but forgot again. anyway good thing if this gets fixed.

I refuse to call the Standalone dayZ. Has nothing common in gameplay or experience with dayZ so i just call it SA. Only hazzle i have with dayZ is the HUD right now. I would pay money to get the old HUD back.

i am not really in the place to judge the amount of high tier weapons cause i only were 2 times at the NWAF since the new patches and one time i did not even make it inside the fences. but i have the impression it is quite hard to get big backpacks and that is for me much more important (playing lonewolf or with one friend) compared to any weapons. it is OK and i am pretty happy that i have a good backpack donated by some bandits at stary and i can deal with the situation. but big backpacks are important if you play mostlys alone. much more then any weapons imho. whatever, i found an ACOG yesterday at a heli crash site and are quite amused about it. in over 2000 hours of dayZ i only found once an ACOG (NWAF) very early in the game. this is only my second one ever. i am wondering if you were able to shoot SD ammo with it in the past, right now it is not possible. i was discussing this with a friend but we just can not remember due to the rareness of the ACOG for us we really never played with it. i kept it anyway.
