So, I've been recently delving into DayZ and all it's variants, mods, scripts, additions and doodads. It's incredible how well the community has received this game since last year and I love (mostly) the direction devs have taken the DayZ compendium. However, I am MISSING NIGHT TIME PLAY. The suspense of a dark night is so enthralling. So where are the night servers? Even if it was an accelerated time cycle I'd love to get some night play in knowing there's more than 10 players on the server. It keeps pacing slow, players aware, and offers less forgiveness that high noon PvP o'clock ****fest. Anyone know of a good server (for any mod) I am hungering to experience DayZ like I did when the only reverse time server was Virgina 13 (Midnight Oil.) Chime in with suggestions or if you remember the 'good ol' dayz.'

About Myself: I've been playing DayZ since May of 2012 with breaks on and off. Just recently got myself a new AMD 7870 and decided to give DayZ a whirl once again. Instantly hooked and having a a blast. I refuse to use Skype for voice communications, must be TS3, Mumble or Ventrilo. I can also offer a 25 slot mumble server that I run off a VPS in Atlanta, Georgia (RamNode VPS) I've always been mostly bandit oriented but not silly/risky. I'm all about smart, tactical, and relentlessly coordinated attacks. Have been playing since OFP. I play ACE when not playing DayZ. Located in US, Central Time Zone (CST) My conditions: Must be 18 years or older (Or at least sound mature / handle yourself well.) Must be a native English speaker Smart, friendly (to your group) Gear whores need not apply No smacktards or bros plz Must have headset I would appreciate this thread not be spammed with clan advertisement. If you have clan offers please PM them to me.

You've got PM.

See topic. Also tried getting the files manually from BattleEye and it's still 1.167

Bump

Being about 10 minutes from repping a chopper and then getting thrown to the Thunderdome. Feels bad, man.

It's been a little over 2 months of play and it's saddening to see the amount of populated night servers screech to a halt. Remember when there were about 10 reverse cycle servers (my favorite being VA13 - Midnight Oil) and people HAD to deal with the darkness? The problem now is there are SO many reverse cycle servers that the community insta jumps at about 7-10PM PST-EST over to a daylight server. Daytime is fun, but night time is FUCKING GREAT, even without NVGs. It slows you down, it slows potential adversaries down and you can't get picked off from 1000+ KM because guess what!? The nasty snipers can't scope in with NVG :P I think if the community would stop running to a daylight server the second the sun starts to set we'd have a much richer, well informed community that isn't hellbent on stashing 5+ tents with military crap and hording every vehicle they can touch. Please play a night server for more than ten minutes and experience what you're missing out on. ARMA 2 has AWESOME lighting effects, but if you're uncomfortable with pitch black, then pop the gamma up a little and get your bearings. IMHO DayZ really starts to show off how unforgiving, thrilling, and immersive it can be when the sun goes down... /Rant

Yeah, somethings gotta change. I think the daylight further exacerbates the roflstomp CoD kiddies. I just want to make it known that I love PvP, but Arma has always imo been about smart, precise killing. Not lulzing around like a chicken with it's head cut off.

It's people like you who assume I'll stand within it's light ;)

True, maybe a less darker night, as been suggest many times in the past. I know vanilla ARMA nights are still dark enough to present a challenge. Maybe ambient glow off cities (while a bit unrealistic) would help. Or hey! Maybe Rocket could get off his arse and script it to where generators can be powered back on! So many possibilities, yet we get a patch that disables respawn button and presents tons of artifacts :rolleyes:

Fair enough, but there are flares and chemlights for a reason ;)

Why does everyone cry about farming? Hell I am tickled to death to hit the barracks and find 20 guns on the ground with ammo for each. Makes my life that much easier ;) Cheers!

Good fixes I guess, but I'm disappointed that the same shit gets broken/"fixed." Been watching this same old song and dance since 1.5 era. (Maybe even longer, back when we still had helis) So can you guys actually concoct some content rather than breaking/fixing zombies, tents, vehicles, connecting, camo, and loot spawns over and over...and over again. It'd be charming to see some actual game changing content rather than what's been added since then (Crowbar, Hatchet, Bear Trap, Double Barrel) :rolleyes: Seriously, bruv, I love the game but have dreaded these patches every time they come out. I'm sitting in a corner now shaking just wondering what's going to be fucked up next. Inb4 12 year olds scream "ITS AN ALPHA WHARRRRBLGARBBLLL"

Thanks for the prompt reply! If purchased can I work out a GMT/UTC +1 or +2 server from HFB?

Hi, I emailed recently inquiring about a 25 slot or anything below 30. If you could PM me that'd be great!

+1 Please let use convert M24/DMR to FAL mags OH and add Mk16 and Mk17. Lovely guns!

I've come across a new hack engine that people are using and this is VERY serious as it seems to still be undetected. I will not post links here, as this hack does not need to propagate. Admins/Mods please contact me directly via PM and we'll go from there. I'd very much like to bring this to your attention and be absolutely sure that it is squashed

WHAT? Gtfo carebear. If you want to end PvP go play Chernarus Apocalypse.

@OP Agreed, after putting lots of time and work into the game as a team all of our hearts sank as this new patched stole our weapons and gave us Maks. Alpha Testing is one thing, blindly creating a patch and pissing off the masses is trolling. At the people leaving shit like "L2ADAPT PLOX HURHURHUR," eat a dick, you're a troll or autist moron.

After suffering from possible debug forest kills/deaths tonight, it came to mind that it would be best if all servers are REQUIRED to display kill messages or be blacklisted. If they are hidden, there is no way to tell and nothing to screenshot as possible proof from abuse/exploiting/etc. Disconnect/Connect messages as well. This will hopefully bring to light some of the admin/player abuse and exploiting. Please respond YES or NO in bold when replying to this and then a brief summary as to why. Cheers!

I agree that at some point kill messages should go away, but just wait until you're debug forest killed and need to report it. You'll be lamenting the fact that you were on a server with no kill messages. I feel like they should be displayed for now because there is a LOT of abuse going on and this is considered a bannable offense. Without proper kill messages the exploiters are receiving gratification for what they are doing. Therefore, the DayZ staff will have a harder time policing exploitation and the Cheat Report subforum will be full of "pics or it didn't happen" and trolls being trolls. Ideally, there should be some sort of debug forest/field protection to assure that players end up in the game with their gear and not killed because some hurpdurp troll decided to leave the map and hunt down spawning players. If anything, kill messages could be split into to classes. The "x was killed by x" (debug forest kill) and "x was killed" (normal death) and then normal deaths could be hidden so that we can still combat griefers. TL;DR No kill messages needs to be implemented later, we need to weed these fucktards out.

It's a start! Player death screen is uglier than sin as it is.

Confirming this. Server was locked for approx 15 min after the kills took place, as if attempting to take loot before we could re-enter.

Can it? Thanks in advance!
