Much potential but too many issues: - Glitches everywhere: i've died tenth times in one hour for no apparent reason, to discover after that it was about certain buildings and trees: going anywhere near to those, will cause a breaking bone and an insta-dead. - Map is a way too heavy: it must be because of so mant trees.. but this is the first map where my FPS went down to the ground (and i'm running two 570). - Few or no vehicles: initially i tought it was cool, that it would have opened to a new gameplay.. but then i discovered that the map is almost big as chernarus (or a little less).. - That "penalty" .. i dunno where it comes from and anyway it doesn't works as expected: i received a penalty the first time i've played (!), the other time the timer went down to minus (300 or more..) and stuff like this. - G36 everywhere.. cmon really? Basically 90% of players have a G36? What about some variations? The map is well designed.. apart some building that looks unfinished with awful textures, but atm is almost unplayable.

Sure, that will help our clan fix up some more vehicles to transport gear, I'll throw in a DMR and 15 mags along with the Winchester and Ghillie. How many mags? Quit hijacking my thread. :P I'll trade for M14 AIM w/ 8 full mags. I'll trade all of the above items for your entire list?

I wish there was a better mechanic to save gear. I don't mind losing gear to bandits or other players, but I do mind when I place items in a tent and try to save, then the server suddenly shuts down and I don't get my gear out in time, everything disappears. Another issue is server longevity. I had tents setup as a redundancy on 5 separate servers, all had my gear saved there for months, but now those servers are down or no longer being paid for by admin, so again ba bye tent gear.... don't even get me started about vehicles.... not saving location, missing gear etc. Is there a better way to preserve/save the gear you find and store?

That makes perfect sense, but it would still be a normal airport just filled with military tents and military vehicles. Oh and a hell of a lot of bodies.

DDoS and the Dev Team are now separate from the Admin Rights, basically now only Me and DeathlyRage only have control and neither of us kill any players, (except at night when me and him have death matches). The reasons for this are that we both understand no matter how legit both of us play we will always get accused of abusing admin rights and as such, so it’s just easier just to watch. Also neither of us has the time with all the programming and deving we do to actually play the game. So when we are actually in game we are testing out new things such as bases, vehicles, gear, new weapons etc. That’s why we usually have a custom skin on or a random gun with us. DDoS however and its members spend a lot of time in the game, this is the server that the play on, so naturally the have bases and as such. So although it may appear that they are cheating though us, they are simply rather good, not the best but still good :P. As with the radars this is an ARMA thing and would take some decent playing around to fix and because most of the pilots are rather bad they tend to crash a lot which means they are reset so you should always be able to grab one. Though I will look into it and confront the team I personally think it should be disabled all together In regards with the water drinking thing we are currently in testing phasing of this though it is rather difficult Thank you for your concern it is always well taken We hope you enjoy the rest of your time with our server Cheers TGJ

Green Mountain, Pobeda Dam, Skalka, Grozovy Pass, Devil's Castle, Kumyrna, gas station in between Gorka, Dubrovka, and Polana. The gas station is a good place to snipe for players with vehicles. On large pop servers, at least.

1) Find a low ping with medium to high number of players. This way if it maintains with 30/40 people on it, consistently, you can assume it runs smooth for you. DO NOT assume the server closest to you is your fastest. While im on a NY based server most of the time (im from NJ), a chicago one also runs smooth for me, even a EU one I accidentally stumbled upon. If youre on public hive, honestly just find low ping and if you get ANY lag switch servers. Dont give bad servers the benefit of the doubt, active admins clean it/ban hackers from it quickly. Ive noticed tore up servers always have some sluggish feel to them, so pick one with active communities even if you have no desire to "join" any facet in particular or at all because they are the safest. You WILL end up dying to a hacker, its inevitable, networking on banning them all from everywhere- is any legit players duty. Even the delightfully ironic ones who happily admit to it, but call themselves the "good" kind. You find them face planted in a christmas box as they say it too. 2) Server restarts on most servers are a refresh. Bodies, stray loot, destroyed vehicles, helicopter crashes, ect all reset. The busted vehicles could respawn at their original location or have a chance to somewhere else as different vehicle, some servers have additional vehicle spawn locations so the randomness is exponential. Then at server restart I found it where I got it a few days before. 3) Bliss is a private hive type, that gives more control over the server then normal. Ive found bliss to almost always have those random spawns/changes always in my favor, so I get why its called bliss. Rest I dont know much on, ive only been playing 2 weeks and sadly not much time in. Explore- posted maps miss a lot of custom tweaks that act as real surprises.

No. When you fix glitches hax and cheats, you've fixed glitches hax and cheats... gratz you now have a non buggy and secure alpha. That's not a finished game, and you're still contradicting yourself. You can play word games all you like. You're still talking about an unfinished game and reffering to any advancement towards finishing it as 'CHANGE' instead of addition or refinement. DayZ is NOT FINISHED you do not just loot until you have your favorite gun and a thousand hours of food and water then wander around waiting to get shot in the back of the head. The obvious intent is that there be more to see and do, more challenges to overcome. Were vehicles a 'DRASTIC CHANGE" that people who like vehicles need to 'GO PLAY A RACING GAME'? If we put a gun on them are we just idiots who need to 'GO PLAY TWISTED METAL'? Of course not. They add gameplay and awesome interesting things to go do and encounter. Your position is nonsense. Why are you even reading the suggestion and idea section if all the game needs is tech updates?

I like the idea of classes/skill system. Not necesarily changing the way people spawn but a skill system makes sense. A good point people have made is that not everyone can do everything. I like a skill system idea that gradually increases depending on your play style and/or time. Fear is something I think should be in the game. I.e, if the less time you have been alive the more "shaken" you are by zombies nearby or killing someone. I.e. If I kill someone for the first time, zombies or not, I most likely would be pretty shaken that I just took a life. By the 4th or 5th one I won't care. Granted, this could cause some major greifing by people who no longer care about fear shooting at new players. But does make sense, but may not be possible. Survivalism: Able to harvest more meat from animals (e.g. less meat when first carving your animals since you would have no idea what you are doing) and I imagine fishing has been discussed as a way to get food. Basically make it easier to survive in the woods and create fires and live off the land. Medical: Let's face it, unless you are a doctor, chances are healing yourself or doing anything medical related would not be easy and you would have to get better. Engineering: Should be able to break/fail when repairing vehicles/salvaging. I can gather parts to a car but I sure as hell couldn't fix it. These are just some quick ideas. Basically if you have a class you would have a slight starting bump in these and would have to learn them in the wild so to speak. Anyone can learn any of them, but some are more adept than others starting off, but no one would receive a significant advantage. Also, would make sense to be able keep say 50% of your skills from your previous character. (I know this affects realism, but some people would be far better at skills than others at the start of any catastrophic event) Also, there would be a penalty for constant dying and would make more sense to protect your character and identity. Just my thoughts on the class system..

Hi guys! So I have been admin of my own server for about a month now. I will say its a different challenge for sure, trying to deal with people that want to hack and whatnot, but I do my best to combat it. I feel sometimes like a cross between server police and server janitor. anyhow.. If you are looking for a US west coast server that is daytime when you get off work give us a try.(gmt +5 so its 5am server time when its 5pm PDT) I have been trying to help out new and veteran players alike by cleaning up random spams of barbed wire, repairing abandoned vehicles I find on the road and depositing them at gas stations, healing random survivors or creating tent caches for survivors in various coastal towns or villages. Some are plain obvious (some around electro) and others I hide behind sheds or inside buildings and fill them full of goodies. Sort of the -take a penny, leave a penny - approach to surviving the zombie apocalypse. I have enough to get by so creating 'tent presents' is a pretty fun pastime. Sure some people run them over or empty the entire thing and then save them empty to be dooshy.. But its sort of fun to hide them about, knowing it will make someone's day when they find one. I sort of feel like apocalypse suzy homemaker. Tent Caches, it's a good thing. If you visit, I hope you enjoy your time on US 3055 - Where are you. Look for me, my character name is Pancaeks

UPDATE: New vehicles added. Helis and uaz's more frequent. Hop on guys, it's trading weekend!

zombiehords.com Hey guys, this is our new 75 slot rmod server! We have 24/7 active admins, 70+ vehicles, and active members. rmod brings new additions to the game that you would not be able to do with normal private hives. Our admins provide a hack free, accepting, and fun environment for all people involved. Feel free to join any time! Starting gear will be normal dayz, but will be changed if we get suggestions. Time is -10 GMT Difficulty is: Regular Crosshairs:on Nametags: on (will be changed if there is demand) 3rd person: on Down below is the way to install rmod and join our server. Good luck and have fun! Ok, this is the proper way to install and run rmod. Download Link: http://www.mediafire...5msmk8vs9jn459t Step 1: Download Rmod at the above link. Step 2: Extract Rmod and copy the @rmod folder to your base Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead Folder. For steam users its under (the root directory for wherever you installed steam then) Steam\Steamapps\Common\ Step 3: In your Arma2 Operation Arrowhead folder if you scroll down you will see a "Launch Arma 2 OA Beta Patch" Right click that and drag it to your desktop and say create shortcut. Step 4: Launch Arma 2 OA using the Beta Patch launch exe. Step 5: While on the Main Screen. Click expansions and make sure that @dayz, @rmod, Arma2, Arma2 OA, British Armed Forces, Private Military Corp, Expansions, Beta are all selected and turned on. Step 6: Go to the In game multiplayer brower and look for our server. In the filter options put [ZH] in the name and usually leaving everything else alone works sometimes you have to make sure that Battleye is set to default. Step 7: Join Server and rock and roll.

Another thing, the radar on helicopters allows you to see other vehicles on the map It would be better if they can spot only vehicles with the motor running, otherwise you will have to deal with people gathering vehicles and stuff for days, and they got everything "stolen" by people who just found a heli in Cherno, which is kind a frustrating :( btw how the work about drinking directly in water spot is going on ?

Actually the main issue with the mod was, that it was a mod. So on top of everything that ARMA II had to run, the mod was taking part of the FPS. Rocket explained that in many interviews. So if they don't change anything in the standalone, just port everything over to the Take on helicopters engine, the game will run a lot smoother than the mod ever did. Thats why they can make more buildings enterable, make them look better etc. Because they are not tied to how much a mod can do, they can hardcode everything inside the engine and the game will run smoothly with no glitches and shit. So whatever they do its gonna be better than the mod, I have no worries there. The Dev Tumblr that got the pics will have more updates in the coming weeks, with new vehicles and other stuff they added. Cant wait to see it all :)

Maybe with the repairing of vehicles it could take a certain amount of time to repair each part? I mean, you aren't exactly going to replace the engine or fuel tank in the same amount of time as a wheel,

All starts off today like it usually does, on panthera. I spawn in and my friend tells me he is at airfield and found some good loot, i head on over and when i get there i get myself a new akm ect.. I head up to the Command tower, and soon after i hear gunshots real close by. Two Survivors run along i thought they where shooting at me so i openfire, but they tell me they are friendly and it was just zombies. They are wounded, one is bleeding the otherone is passing out. they leave me and my friend to ourselves but then it looks like one kills the other, so i kill the other. My first Dayz kill. Then being nervous from all the gunshots we run back to base to stash our loot. Afterwards my friend decides he is gonna take one of our vehicles and look for a tent while i stay back. Soon he is screaming that someone hit him with a car and shot him, but he managed to kill one also. i saw it all happen and i rush down the hill, take cover, and light up there uaz but they keep driving. i thought they wussed out but when i ran back to our base they where waiting and shot me multiple times with his m249 saw and ak 74. with only 2k blood i succeed in killing the bandit with the saw .My second dayz kill. And then his friend books it down the mountain in his uaz. My second dayz kill. I then go get all the gear from my friend, his killer, and the m249 guy. and the guy who ran away in the uaz drove back to get his friends stuff without realizing i was still there. i annilate him with the m249 getting my 3rd dayz kill. In the end i got there fully military stocked uaz, m249 saw, ak74 kobra, 2 m4a1's and a bandit skin. Thats my Brush with death. Thanks for reading!

I was one of the clan members banned. Though battle eye, anti hax, your logs w.e can not show where I have ever used any program at all. I'm not crying over getting banned, as I not going to deny, I know people in my group were using a simple firefox radar hack. But if you honestly believe Burro/ Drake, as well as quite a few others (lunawolfy/ted (burros roommate. a couple others) were NOT using hacks or map finders, then you are a serious fool. Simple logic in DAYZ: Good players / bad players / great players/ can not just magically track and kill on a low pop server, where MOST of you guys stay in the south in your safety nets. NON hacking players will always die in pvp, Hence until 2 days ago, when sure someone in my group used a radar hack to track TED / Fudge/ Sanatana (all which ALSO use hacks/ be it map radar OR the admin panel), why didnt we kill ANY of the rest of you guys? Why was it, in our 2 months there the ONLY people we killed shot at us first... Boy that is some serious hacking there. Why is it Luna/ FODDER(burro)/ Ted/ Cal / Fudge could log in for a short short period of time, find players. call them out by name, kill them, then just log off? (with no name plates in game btw) You think they were ThAT good? If you do, you deserve to play on that server. Why is it, BURRO and DRAKE knew Luna could track uids, and talked to them even though they were on different names and told no one who they were? Why was that allowed to happen. Why did BURRO admit he KNEW people were duping and hacking, and that a hacked tent up north was "a mistake" (was cals tent apparently) and nothing was done? Its simple. I will NOT deny the last day (after Ted (burros friend and roommate) just happened to log in between all of us, in the dark and knew where everyone was) No one on by name, but knew to wait almost 20 minutes to kill the last 2 clan mates. Me i was just a dumbass running wild, i deserved to die, one of our members got a radar. We then watched players run only to our tents and our hidden vehicles. Wierd why was that allowed to happen? After that sure we didnt care what happened to us, so we radar tracked Santana and fudge. No one in my clan will deny that. But the admins will sure as hell deny they did or knew any of their friends did anything wrong. And if you felt you were "out smarting" us, by trying to set us up, i must take one second to LOL, Hence the final touch to your BS ways to use your friends infamous closing line. If you are considering playing on PDR, know this, admins and their friends will use esp hacks and radar (via hacks or panel). I suggest you do what we did, fight fire with fire, get your OWN way of tracking them: The community is great for pve'rs and carebears who like to cry about anything and everything, hell i cried people were constantly crying! The rules are fair, though alot of people cried over that as well, so they might change as the admins are complete flip floppers, never figuring out wtf they really need to get done The stability is pure shit. Lots of 20-30 minute load times (though they got a new server this week end) They have a donation shop idea, but based on pricing, it looks like they are trying to pay themselves for hosting a free mod game. The players for the most part are p*ssies, but i think they are that way IRL too, but other than a small hand full, they are nice people. All in all, if you dont mind admin/friend(s) scripters and map hackers, and alot of qq in sc, great server, but you could play on a public server and not have to listen to SC. /shrug GL guys!

hello all, we have a private hive running and everything has been going well but have had a couple of hackers on today. Am i correct in believing that there are scripts you can put onto the server to detect/kick players when they spawn vehicles& weapons etc?

The rMod allows us to add custom vehicles, guns, skins and buildings to the game to juice up DayZ

Few questions... How many and what kind of choppers spawn? What sort of vehicles.. Humvees or gun trucks? How is the loot spawns?(mostly curious about weapons)

You won't see anything like that in DaRT as RCon is not able to do that. It depends where your server is hosted. Managed server usually restart themself if the server shuts down. You should announce the shutdown ingame though so everyone can save their vehicles. After that, nothing bad will happen.

we currently have a private hive with password and whitelist, we run rmod so we have awesome vehicles for the chernarus map very active and friendly admins, and a awesome community with regulars on all the time. also have events such as deathraces and arena fights! hit me up and we will get ya going!

Brand new private hive! max vehicles, and active admins. bandits will be shot, and hackers will be shot again (; The server ip is: 72.177.191.244:2302 Come hang out and play with us! Side chat is on. Regular difficulty!

Hi, I'm Hipax, I'm 13, I have steam under the name Hipax, I have battlelog under the name Medic565. I don't have skype. I have teamspeak. I could install mumble if it's required. I don't care about timezones,as long as you don't care about my age,and I can find a mature [and funny!] group of people to play with. I don't care about vehicles. I don't care about loot. I care about having a good time on DayZ. Yes,I have had vehicles/high end equipment,and yes,I have enjoyed it,But I don't get attached to it. I'm near Otmel on public hive,if you WANT to pick me up that's fine. I won't mooch off the clan. I won't grab equipment unless TOLD to or ALLOWED to. I am not a asshole. I will be a hero OR a bandit,I really don't care. I prefer to find my own loot.
