any updates on when this is happening?

Had a lot of fun on your server Jimmy. You definetly knew what you were doing. Thanks for all the memories. -M0tzilla aka "KernalPanic"

hey look, I dislike those mods just as much as the next (hardcore dayz mod supporter) guy. But if you think the same thing isn't going to happen when they release the mod tools for SA then you're going to have a bad time... They are going to come out, and they are going to suck just like the do now.. but who am I to judge... If there are people that enjoy it, great. enjoy it! But.... lets not forget the public vanilla hive mod community which was still very much alive and well. I say "was" because it's totally dead now that BI totally gave those supporters the bird when they didn't relocate the public hive a few month back. and that's what really grinds my gears.

well yes, the code is now maintained by the community, but who's going to dump a bunch of money for a beefy sql server to host the public hive? BI maintained the SQL instance for the mod since the beginning, and it was only until recently that it went away. They should have addressed the fact that the public hive was going to be abandoned instead of simply turning a blind eye to the whole thing. It was a real slap in the face for all the hardcore mod supporters that are waiting to play Standalone Beta! They could have easily moved the public hive to a BI maintained host.

Actually they do.. BI were the maintainers of the public hive. When the HFB servers went out of business (~2 months ago) they made no attempt at relocating the hive to another host so all that info was lost. There still isn't a public hive as ALL servers are private hive now (that sucks)... Plus they still have to approve the patches. Something that takes them apparently 6 months to do sometimes..

Lost faith here.. but not because of the current state of SA, but rather by the lies that BI / Rocket have been lying to us early MOD supporters. They said that the mod would not be affected by the release of early access SA but that was an outright lie. Razor and crew sat on 1.8.1 for almost 6 months while BI was raking in the cash from EA sales. During that time, the Mod lost lost a ton of momentum because BI did not approve the patch. Plus as of recent, we lost the public hive and it seems like BI has made ZERO attempt at giving the mod a public hive instance back. They let it dissolve, not even giving it the a single mention to it. SHAME ON THEM!!! Now I usually would NOT make a stink about this, but Rocket specifically told us NOT to buy SA if we didn't want to play an early access game that was riddled with bugs. Fine, I'll keep playing the mod, but to neglect the game that got to where you are today, what's the point in that? The mod is NOT taking away from SA sales, they shouldn't be worried about that. But for some reason the Mod turned into the red headed step child of BI as soon as SA hit steam?? Just to be clear I am hopeful that SA will be an amazing game and I can't wait to play it once it reaches that state, but for now I'd simply rather invest my time playing a game that I know satisfies my needs. Please give us back the public hive, stop neglecting some of your biggest supporters and stop ignoring the fact that BI lied to the community that helped shape the game so many people love.. Go make a great game but please give us something to play in the meantime, that is all that I ask.

For old time sake, what are the chances we can get this pushed out as a hotfix Razor?

stop lying, you were just looking for a reason to post more of your videos ;-) and for that I thank you =P

any word from BIS or Hicks? I think it's safe to say that it's not on their radar to get this approved. Any reason you guys just can release without them? Should the community start posting to Twitter or something asking them to please approve?

a few questions regarding 1.8.1. Will the hive db be affected in anyway with the upcoming changes to stashes? i.e. will all our gear transfer over? Same question with regards to tents being that there are new sizes and upgrades available now. Is there any way to set stashes so that if unsaved after a "X" many days they clear from the database much like tents? Currently it seems they are fairly permanent fixtures once placed. Also just some constructive feedback regarding the chance of catching fish. It's hard to say as I have not tested 1.8.1 yet but going from 1% chance to 25% for catching a fish seems like and over-correction. Is it possible to have the chances change dynamically based on fishing source? So for instance 8% chance when fishing in the ocean and maybe 20% from a Pond or Lake. This could promote people wanting to venture inland to fish instead of bunching up at the coast. Could make for some interesting interactions as players tend to stop by ponds and lakes to get a drink and whatnot, would be cool to come up to someone that is already there fishing...

Understood, I posted that in a fit of rage tbh, I'm not very proud of it, but I really do love the mod. My statement was fueled mostly from the fact that Rocket was simply ignoring questions regarding the mods future these past 5 months like it didn't even exist. If Rocket was barred from discussing the mod then my apologies to the guy, if that's the case then shame on Marek. And I understand they need to protect the asset they are investing in now (SA), but the mod is a big reason they've got this far; neglecting the original community seemed like a poor strategy to me. I can only assume that the mod has finally been a green-light due to the fact that they sold over 2 million copies of SA. It's clear that the Mod is NOT competition for SA... /rant With regards to testing prior to general release: What if there was a sort of listserve for those interested in testing and we setup weekly community test events. That way we get a concentrated population joining the server at a given time rather than just keeping a testing server open and allowing people to come and go as they please. Setup a teamspeak or equivalent so everyone can discuss the testing in real time during the given event.

Rocket is a liar, he said the release of SA will not affect the mod but that was obviously a bold face lie. I've lost pretty much all respect for the guy which is sad cause I used to defend the guy over tooth and nail... ah well, such is life. My fault for buying into SA. I should have saved my money for a better game.

so I just got into a crazy heart pounding fight with a bandit up in the new town on the experimental build and as soon as I got shot at I got some amazing suspenseful music track that started playing as soon as the first bullet left his barrel? I ultimately died but I know what I heard and it was epic. Anyone else heard this yet? I wish I was recording.. I need to clear out room on my hard drive :( I posted the story on reddit: http://redd.it/1vu3yv

BTW: this was posted to SA forum. You might want to ask a moderator to move it to the MOD section for correct visability.

yeah I had the same thing happen with a fnx45 the other day. I guess when you mouse over the item in your inventroy it does not tell you the status on guns yet. I take it that they are damaged? I picked up another and used the same mag and it worked like a charm. (It actually got my buddy killed as we rolled up on some guys and I had my pistol out. As soon as he took some shots at him I took aim and attempted to return fire... all I got was click, click, click. Had to quickly switch to the mosen but by that time it was too late. My buddy had been taken out. Moral of the story: I now test fire all my weapons the first chance I get.

is it when you alt+tab by chance? is there no error message whatsoever? what are your system specs?

I'm also not a huge fan of the last attacker message. fighting group that are communicating on teamspeak have a little bit of an edge as they can relate the info to alive squad members. plus in my experiance it just allows the killed player the chance to greif and/or rage directly to the "last attacker" on side, which happens frequently. but nontheless, love the server. Keep up the great work.

Unconcious = Fap time The devs are really looking out for us.

probably cause 1.7.7 is crap. Some good ideas sure, but horribly executed imo.

Date/Time: Random times over the coarse of a few days What happened: Military Offroad will not repair regardless of tries. It is eating the part I am trying to repair it with, it's just not actually changing the status of the repaired part. Where you were: Wilderness. What you were doing: trying to repair the offroad. used 3 scrap metal parts and a fuel tank part. *Current installed version: 1.7.1 *Server(s) you were on: US 16 *Your system specs: Intel 2600K 590GTX 16 GB RAM *Timeline of events before/after error: Stole this Military offroad and is in bad shape (mostly red) I found lot of parts to repair it but every time I do a repair it doesn't change the status of the repaired part, it's eating the part so it should be repairing it. We've repaired other vehicles without issues but this one will not get better.

So I was in the game when this all when down also. My in game name is TTL>>KernalPanic. I was the last to be Teleported before the group got banned. I luckily was able to DC right before they shot me so I didn't die. Once they were banned I relogged and was able to see the aftermath. I also fraps all my gameplay so I captured the whole thing go down. I will post it as soon as I have time but that was really shitty for my teammates that lost lots of good gear.. From the looks of the formation of dead bodies at the Teleported spot it seems the hackers were ambushing people, they were setup in a triangular formation and TPing ppl in the middle of the group. Bastards.

I've been playing us98 for a week now, got some great loot and stuff but today it seems to have disappeared and I didn't get a chance to pack my tent and get it moved to another server? anyone know anything?

still no word huh? I wonder if there will ever be a way to police servers just disappearing out of thin air??? really ruins the game for me having to start over from scratch essentially...
