Hi all, Just switched our server over to Namalsk, due to the other Namalsk servers we've played on not being regularly monitored by admins. There's an admin on every day usually til around midnight. Name: US 1281 COTF Tree Killers Difficulty: Veteran Daytime: Normal 24 Cycle UTC-12 3rd Person: ON Crosshairs: OFF Map Waypoints: ON Nametags: OFF Sidechat: ON See you guys in the wilderness.

Hi guys. Just wanted to extend an invite to our DayZ server. It's hosted by Vilayer on their new Hive, so you may or may not have to create a new character when you join. If you don't mind starting over, we usually have an admin on most of the day monitoring for unusual activity. The server info is as follows: Server Name: US 1281 COTF Tree Killers Difficulty: Veteran Crosshairs: OFF 3rd Person: ON Waypoints: ON Time Zone: UTC-5 Feel free to PM me if you guys have any questions. Hope to see some more people on soon. -0minous

One last thing I haven't seen mentioned, you have to try your best to place your tent as close to the tree trunk as possible. It's a bit of a glitch within the game, but this dramatically decreases the usable area on the tent. What this means is if anyone happens across your tent, they will have to put in some work to find a part of the tent which allows them to view and access its contents. Be careful, you run into the possibility of hiding your tent too well and it not being accessible to even you.

^ What she said. You should place your tent in a low traffic area, in dense trees and preferably flat ground. I say flat ground because it's easy to spot tents when you place them on a hill, as the incline exposes the area underneath the tree branches.

Sad but unfortunately very true, as evidenced by the countless threads of alleged admin abuse. I say alleged because only a few provide any evidence to back up their claim, but at the same time, the threads without proof can't all be incorrect can they?

Damn. Why'd you have to go and open up old wounds by mentioning SWG? I had JUST stopped playing the swgemu when I switched to DayZ, but the Pre-NGE fire still burns.

Awesome story, and an even better display of honor and integrity by fighting to the death without anyone disconnecting. Definitely my kind of server and players, no homo.

As a temporary fix, you could delete the registry entries for ArmA 2 and re-install the game. You will of course run in to the problem where your cd key may be in use and you will not be able to play. There really aren't any other measures you can take to resolve the problem. As stated on the BattleEye main page, there's nothing they can do to recover your cd key. Sorry about your luck, but you may be able to still play on some private hive servers or those that do not require a cd key. I know that's probably not what you wanted to hear, but I'm just trying to make you aware of the few options you have.

Did you find someone to take over for this server? Also, where is this server located (east coast, west coast?). Thanks.

Thank you! I was thinking of starting this kind of list before I lucked out and found yours. Have my beans, and if I had one, you'd also get my Mountain Dew.

Nice job, but you should have peeked around the corner to shoot him from the beginning of the fight, not just the end. At least you didn't get killed. As for the song, it kinda sounds like something from Metal Gear Solid.

I am interested in trading for a set of NVG and a Rangefinder. For trade, I have the following: x1 Bison w/ x3 mags x1 DMR w/ x5 mags x10 SVD mags x3 FN Fal Mags Let me know, thanks.

Great job on the vid. Also, I'm very impressed you guys don't panick and yell on the mic, people do that too often. I'll chalk that up to military training =D

While I agree with your idea of a temporary debuff being applied to people who disconnect during combat, the auto-kill mechanics can't be applied in a fair manner. Every single player, even those with top of the line machines, would eventually suffer from a software/driver conflict that would cause their game to crash, which would be interpreted as a disconnect. To "kill" their characters and force them on a hazardous venture to recuperate their gear due to a computer glitch seems a bit harsh. As for the debuff concept, it seems like it would function somewhat similar to declaring yourself hostile in PVP or to an opposing faction like in an MMO. Unlike an MMO however, it would probably only be a status seen on that particular person's screen and not an icon or flag floating above the person's head. Good idea though, hopefully this or something like it comes out in the near future.

Judging from the fact your victim insisted on venturing into the Stary Sobor tents after A: Multiple voice comms requesting he declare his intentions at the risk of being considered hostile and therefore shot/killed. B: Multiple chat messages requesting his intentions at the risk of being considered hostile and therefore shot/killed. C: Ignoring the sound of your G17 when you killed the zombie in the tents You throughly exhausted your non-deadly options before being forced to protect yourself, I commend your proper use of force.
