-Pros- Latest Patch for DayZ and working properly (1.7.2.5) Vehicles will save properly. Tents will no longer dupe themselves. No longer possible to dupe items. No more duped items all over the server. Fresh server: No barricades in annoying places, Vehicles in their original spawns ready for the taking. DOUBLE the amount of vehicles from the original server. Increased Admin Control over the server. We can host Lingor weekends or change to Lingor and back to Chenarus any time we want. (Players can easily switch to Lingor & back with Dayz Commander.) -Cons- Fresh Start - You spawn on the coast with the default items. You can't take items from this server to other servers outside the Vilayer hive You can't bring items from any server outside the Vilayer hive to this server.

Started the game as an nice guy. Getting frustrated and was a G because of protecting my loot. Now, I have learned how to manage this game and that loot isn't everything (and you get it back very easy) so I am curious about player I see. But yesterday I had to kill two bandits: we was hanging around to repair a vehicle. Suddenly a bandit appears and said "friendly" (what else?). My mates tolerated him but they were excited. Meanwhile I was approximately 500m away in the woods. At a time he disappeared and was with his bandit friend (nobody saw him) on the road again in a V3s. My mates chase them but with no aggressive behavior. After a while the two parties get out of their vehicles. The bandits opened the fire and two of three of my mates died. I picked up my DMR and shot them while they were looting my mates. That is why I kill.

Like^^ What about weapons taking damage on use? A-la the Jagged Alliance series, but will need to be repaired with parts... Come to think of it, make weapons take damage just like vehicles running out of fuel. The weapon can be repairable with parts but if the damage gets to 100% it is deemed unrepairable and may as well be thrown away. Also, when weapons are below 50% status then they have a chance of malfunctioning when you fire it. Just some more ideas to throw into the discussion.

UK 25 has 1.7.2.5 with Tents and Vehicles saving, also it is a hive server not private

You are missing my point as well as this is all opinion based even on my part. You may not feel working tents are an important feature as many may agree with you. Just as many may feel that tents and vehicles not working are a deal breaker for them. I personally have had my enjoyment greatly decreased since these do not work. Again, just a matter of opinion. Calling people with an opinion a "cancer" seems awfully short sighted. I have been patient. I waited what I felt was a fair amount of time to fix the issue before voicing my opinion on the matter. What you and others seem to be missing is my complaint is not about the multitude of bugs or lack of features. Its the restoration of a CORE mechanic of the game which severely breaks the scavenging and survival aspect of the game. I have never said I have a say in how the game is developed but I do have a voice. As do you and all others who enjoy this game. We have the right to speak out in support or in disapproval of things we dont like and I feel comfortable saying its appreciated by the devs in one way or the other. I never claimed entitlement to anything. Im not sure where you got this. My complaint is in regards to the time taken to fix a very simple problem around a large core mechanic. I do not think it is outside the realm of reason to think a hotfix could have already been deployed instead of waiting for a feature patch. Im not sure where you intended to go with your reply but it seems you may have misunderstood exactly what Im getting at here. I never said I wanted to leave DayZ or that I was all around dissatisfied with Rocket and his project. I just feel that this particular issue did not receive the attention it deserved. You may not have noticed but I have not once complained about hacking, graphical glitches, admin rules, promised features, or any other topic. You can be chastised for disapproving. Or a fan boy for approving. I guess it all depends on your perspective and whether you possess the fortitude and maturity to respect a position that may be opposite of yours.

How did you get tents and vehicles to save inventory? I have a private hive server with the same host in the UK and the tents only save inventory once, and the vehicles do not save inventory at all. Please advise.

You know, the usual thing that most sandbox games have these days, a stats screen, with things like: (just making this up as I go along obviously) * Longest kill shot * Highest elevation reached. * Percentage of map explored. * Distance Walked / ran * Distance crawled * Distance swam * Distance driven * Distance flown * Favourite weapon by percentage of kills * # Tins of food eaten * # Cans of Drinks consumed * # Meat consumed * Number of animals killed. * Longest zombie kill-streak * Number of Towns visited * Location visited most often * Total number of supermarket visits * Number of helicopter crash sites raided * Number of times spotted by other players * Number of times spotted by zombies * Number of times fainted * Number of limbs broken * Favourite clothing * Number of tents found / looted * Number of vehicles stolen * Barbed wire laid / removed * Tank Traps laid / removed * Sandbags laid / removed

I can confirm vehicles and tents work just fine on my server. As i see it its different from server to server, but most Official servers got issues atm. Right now, private server seems like the way to go :) untill rocket and the team gets a grib on the official hive. As i see it, a complete wipe of the DB in 1.7.3 is required to make the game balanced again. And as this is an alpha, wipping the DB should happen at every MAJOR (big game changes) patch tbh, to clean up after all the hacks, duppes and spawns.

1) Um, ok. You didnt have to read it? If your irritated at reading these then how does it speak for your intelligence that you committed to reading another and went a step further to reply? 2) That still validates my point of taking entirely too long to fix a core mechanic. 3) Negative or positive a developer needs the heart beat of the community. If no one complained about certain bugs/features their importance would be diminished. 4) Never said I didnt like DayZ or that I would quit. Not sure where or why you made this up. I still pay my server bill every month. 5) Uhm yea, thats the result. You can troll all you want but you know as well as I do the fix for the tents and vehicles is a simple one. One that could have easily been encompassed in a hotfix many weeks ago with little effort.

Actually we have reset back to nothing. Seems Vilayer host their own hive now and they are partners with DayZ Commander. We was going to add the ability to change to Lingor Island and when we done that we became a part of Vilayer's hive. Which is as of right now ok with just about everyone else. We currently have DOUBLE vehicles, so any vehicle that spawns on a normal DayZ server has spawned twice here. So that means 2x choppers, 4x offroad trucks, and every other vehicle has spawned double. We are now on 1.7.2.5 but Vilayer has fixed all the tent and vehicle saving abilities. Parachutes will work in the chopper now! BTW which is freakin awesome!

I pick up noobs and drive them to vehicles they can have i r nice guy np edit: and its KoS because even if the first 9 people were friendly, that 10th will fuck you over and end you. that 10th guy could of been any of the first 9 however, so people dont take chances if they value their character. edit2: and killing new spawns for +1 murder and -humanity. also they wont log out the moment theyre shot at.

Oh man, a server wipe would make the game fun again even despite the hackers. Its just too easy to gear up now. Gone are the days I had to run up to NW airfield and loot the barracks trying to get some assault rifles, and giggle like a little girl when I found a heli crash. These days I can go from fresh-spawn to fully geared Range-finders/NVGS/AS50/L85/GPS/CCOSD ETC in literally 20 minutes. Just head to sniper hill on cherno or electro on a decent pop server and your more than likely to find dead snipers you can loot. The duping has gotten so bad that often youll find entire tents full of gear up there because the dupers were too lazy to run back to camps so they simply duped all the gear they needed in tents right outside cherno/electro. A few weeks ago I was doing something similar myself (not the duping). I was electro-cherno sniping a lot (bored meh) and was too lazy to run to the camps in the far west and north, so I simply drove down one of my vehicles close to cherno/electro and filled it with gear I looted off snipers and tents near cherno. Normally parking a vehicle so close to cherno/electro would be a giant waste, but the ease with which you can find gear made it so that I did not care. That is a sad state of affairs to be in. I agree that the underlying tent-saving mechanic needs to be addressed, but I disagree with those who say it is pointless to do a server wipe until said issue is fixed. The servers have reached insane saturation with high end military gear, and a server wipe now would still give us 1-2 months of fun gaming until it reaches saturation again. I wouldn't mind a server wipe every two months until the underlying issue is addressed =)

I seem to have gotten quite a lot of bugs and glitches lately, let's start with what happened 10 minutes ago... I spawned, and just died for no reason when no other players were around except my friend. Then I instantly respawned in debug plains with absolutely NOTHING in my inventory. After trying to rejoin, I spawned again in Prigorodky, with yet again, a completely empty inventory. Also, I can't seem to save tents and vehicles, they disappear every time the server resets. Are there problems with the saving function? I hope there's some sort of fix for this as soon as possible.

so far on 2851 all tents/vehicles are saving with 2.5

I do agree in all the flaws the game has actually and the hackers are the topping on the cake. But a personal helicopter and a UAV are NO REASON for a private hive. You cant say "We want to play the game how it is meant to be played" and then wanna have your own admin-selection vehicles. Admins that stash their private vehicles are a main reason why so many servers are lacking vehicles for other players. Was on a server recently where 15 spawns were empty! Thats no fun and doesnt contribute at all to your theoretical server.

I completely agree with you on the wipe, but tents on 1.7.2.4 are working just fine. As far as tents / 7day limit I have no idea what you are talking about. I've been back to tents on random servers numerous times which are still there weeks later since I've been to them last. Tents were supposed to have a shelf life, but in my experience they absolutely do not, if they don't dissappear after the first server restart they are there until the next wipe... I think the biggest problem people are having with tents/vehicles is that they are expecting them to work properly on 1.7.2.5 servers in spite of the fact that the latest patch broke them all to hell. If you want working tents/vehicles roll back to 1.7.2.4 and all you will have to deal with is the tent duping problem (as always).

He is saying why should he when there is no point to get stuff. He can't place a new tent and save something, old tents are broke. Would a wipe even be that hard? Or how about some small patches intended to fix things like artifacts that work? The last patch was revealed saying they fixed the issues. It was just a cover for the logging alt-f4/combat dodging system. Does it really take you a couple hours to get a Winchester or AK? You're doing it wrong x) I don't play anymore for similar reasons, but a tent is essential to how I want to play day Z(read, My personal playstyle. advanced hoarder simulator 2012. not vehicles though :) but I do love I love having one.). I put tents everywhere. some In the middle of cities behind buildings in inconspicuous areas. I've probably placed 30 total on the server I frequent. one of my Favorites was in Berezino, the SE part of town. Close the the hospital/grocery store so I always had it loaded with food/etc. Let me tell you, hitting them up before their 7 day limit takes a lot out of you too. And it becomes hard to keep track of all of them x) Anyway there are some very annoying issues that.. honestly shouldn't have goone unfixed for this long. And is a wipe really too much to ask for?

OP = moron, or the biggest moron of all time? and hilarious that he straight up admits that the only reason he has a server is to own the heli and vehicles in it, how pathetic

Lolololol How sad. Scared of losing your stuff? Boo hoo. Having a server doesnt entitle you to everything on the map. Back on topic: People already do host their own private hives. How do you think the Lingor servers work? Magic zombie dust? If you, or any others want to host thier own private hive and do their own policing for hackers or dupers, go ahead. You just wont get all your vehicles or gear that are connected to the main hive.

The configuration files for the server are being edited now and it will be up soon. We believe that the server may be completely reset back to 0. All vehicles and tents may be gone and ready to be collected as if the server is new. We're not positive until we log in but we suspect this is the case. If this is the case, please save all tents after setting them up and using them and such so we don't get swamped with a bunch of duped items.

:( :( :( :( . You must be talking bout my campsite :( http://i.imgur.com/xPdCa.jpg Dont worry, its not there anymore. A few days ago a hacker came and teleported all vehicles to a field north of Stary Sobor. That created some interesting moments, to be sure. It was a couple days of excitement around that neck of the woods, and for Giggles I pushed a boat with the V3s down into a Stary tent. BTW, boats can do some serious stunts, much like an ATV when you hit them, except boats dont blow up when they crash back to earth. I think our next event will be Vehicle Soccer using a boat.

Number of times Alt-F4'd Number of unarmed noobs shot with AS50 Number of items duped Number of vehicles held off map

This post actually sets the basis for the clan I am going to be forming. The British Armed Forces. We're planning to create a LARGE force to take over a specific area, such as Green Mountain or Devil's Castle. Imagine this... Green Mountain, a safe haven, marksmen in the deerstands, checkpoints, barricades, military vehicles, and constant player interaction. Convoys that are sent out into the map to round up survivors, hunt bandits, and gather supplies to maintain their population. What you may call a light shining in the darkness.

Best moment in game so far (edit: happened about a month ago): Had just been murdered, forget how, like I care, it's a game, you think I'm mad about a game? lol @ you. anyway, spawned west of elektro. I'm making a run, without a map or supplies, back up to the north where the clan is. I declined a pickup and said I just wanted to run it back north. As I cross the train tracks, I spot a survivor on the hill above me. I run up, he's unarmed, after all, and I have nothing to lose. I engage him on direct chat "hey buddy, how are ya? Surviving OK?" He just looks at me. Nothing. I say again "hey buddy, how's it going?" again nothing. he's standing. The penny drops. "If you're new and you have a mic, press comma until it says direct chat, then use caps lock to talk." A couple of seconds later "hi, can you hear me?" he asks "yep, how you doing, you're new, aren't you?" "yeah!" he says "this is my first time playing this game, how can you tell?" So I get onto teamspeak and let the guys know I've found a survivor and I won't be running back to join them, going to go hit prigorodky with this guy and show him the ropes. They tell me I'm an idiot, and he'll kill me as soon as he gets a gun. I decide to chance it. "well to start with, you're standing up." I show him how to crouch and prone. I show him how to switch between walking and running. I say, lets go get some supplies and weapons, and off we go. On our way, we stumble across a broken ATV, I explain it needs to be fixed, but show him how to get on and off it, how to check the gear. I show him what the peripheral indicators are, how they work, and why they're useful. I show him how to sneak past zombies. We get to the barn, I show him how to pick up items, how to use the pack, and the momnent of truth arrives. There's a winnie on the ground in the barn. "okay, there's a gun here. You take it, but remember, if you kill me, you're on your own from now on. You have to decide, do you want to make a friend, or do you want to make a kill." We continue to loot, we find more guns, engine parts, spare tires, bigger packs, jerrycans. pretty soon we've got everything we need to fix the ATV, so we go back and I give him instructions as he repairs the quad. I drive, and he rides shotgun. We go on for another hour or so before the boys come back on TS and ask what I'm doing. I tell them I'm hanging out with my new buddy, but I'm over it, to come and pick me up. I get off the ATV and tell the guy "ok, what just happened, between you and me, is pretty rare in this game. Most people you meet will try to kill you on sight. But some people will help you. It's up to you to decide if you're going to trust people, or if you're going to fear them. It's up to you if you're going to be a man to be trusted, or if you're just going to kill. But remember, the first person you ever met in this game helped you." He thanked me, I wished him luck, I got off the quad and said he could have it, we had more vehicles than we needed anyway. The chopper arrived, I took out an M4A1 CCO SD and 4 mags and gave them to him as a parting gift and I was out of there. Like I said, best experience in Day Z so far. I helped someone and they were grateful. I made someone else's gaming experience richer and more fun. And It was great. try it yourself some time if you don't believe me. *******

So you've found five vehicles this week? Then find another one. You think Rocket's biggest concern is helping you hoard shit you won't use?
