As long as its a purchased unofficial hive server the most the admin can do is kick or ban. Hackers and bandits cost you all your gear and time.. Personally I don't see why anyone would even bother weighing the twos pros and cons. I see an obvious winner myself. Not to mention all the bugs that have been fixed on the lingor servers (tents, vehicles, artifacts, ext...) On my non-hive server I can make sure all players who join get to actually have fun without all that other BS. Bandit, survivor or hero, I can take care of these people A LOT easier without getting crap from the hive. I may be a little strict on the private hive, but I can almost guarantee the 10+ people I see join excluding myself and clan, have a better experience. Also not all servers edit the config to stupid shit. I have not and will not touch the vehicle count as it would take a lot of fun from the game. I like being able to hunt down things and not just take two steps and spot 6 vehicles...

To get as much great and as many vehicles as possible, but hey... alone is still boring? Just leave the guy be, play in a more fun filled server :)

Usually if you can see someone and spot their nameplate they will show up on the map for a little bit. Zombies say "man" and are orange, players and vehicles are blue. You can hear a vehicle moving more times before you will see it, get some headphones.

Server: US 790 Timezone: Eastern Time Date/Time: August 30, 2012 between 3:20pm and 3:50pm Hacker's Player Name: your gay lover What Happened: I was rescuing a friend who was bleeding and passed out in Cherno when I was shot in the back. The person who shot me stole my ATV and my gear. I started heading out of Cherno when I run into someone else with an ATV and this player was a fresh spawn. We start driving down the coast when this guy starts rolling down the hill fully decked out in a Ghillie Suit and L85 on an ATV. He chases us into Cherno where we run out of gas and I hide a roof with no ammo for my weapons. I end up killing the hacker with a hatchet as he climbs onto the roof. This is when the hacking begins, he immediately respawns and tries to steal the ATV on the ground, where I end up killing him. Then as I'm driving away with the ATV he respawns again chasing after me where I shoot him dead. After this I keep driving away and he keeps appearing in the street in front of me as fresh spawn where I keep killing him. Then he starts breaking out the better scripts and goes invulnerable and spawns vehicles in front of my driving out into the road. This is when I start recording in FRAPS, he has me get on my ATV with him in back and teleports me around the map and performs various hacks. The hacks include: vehicle spawning, flying, smoke trails, spawning a weapons crate with non dayz weapons, invulnerability, skin changing, exploding bombs everywhere, and other exploits. In the end he teleported me back to Cherno with my ATV and left the server. I refused to take any of the hacked weaponry and just took my ATV and gear I had found in camps in the Northeast corner of the map. In the end he only affected my humanity by dropping it to about -8000 cause I kept killing him but he did derail my dayz experience for about an hour. Proof/Evidence: I started recording a FRAPS video when he started spawning vehicles in my path every 10 - 15 feet and he had become invulnerable. Video is linked below, please make sure we can get this player banned. Skip to 4:11 if you want to skip my intro voice over and just want to see the video proof of his hacking. Thanks

More vehicles is a good thing. They are rare enough in DayZ with most of them being hidden off the map. I've been playing on private hives a bit lately because of the "This server is running an incorrect version..." error, but some are ruined by the retards spamming on side channel non stop over the mic with their awful play by plays.

Current equipment: AKM, M1911, Alice pack filled with medical gear, basic tools Dream equipment: FN FAL( NV), coyote backpack( for carrying lots of medical supplies) M9 SD, NVG's, Rangefinder, toolbox The reason I would like these are that I am currently playing as a medic and occasionally people will try and kill me, I need a good gun to fight back against those who do try and steal my stuff, need a big pack so I can carry more supplies, NVG's so I can work safely on Night servers and a toolbox so I can repair vehicles so I can travel from city to city quicker.

This is a list of reasons why I avoid private hives, based on my experience of trying out 7-8 different ones: 1. Silly numbers of vehicles 2. Abusive admins (can't report them for kicking/banning/resetting/locking server because it's private) 3. Huge numbers of weapons not in DayZ 4. Obvious hacking by server owner, but can't be reported because it's private 5. Population is either very high or very low; have yet to play on one with 'normal' number of people, say 15-30? They've either been a ghost town (3-6) or totally full. Public hive has its flaws, but at least your biggest threat is hackers and bandits rather than the admin.

Hey guys, I was wondering if any of you clan mongers out there had room for one more :rolleyes: . Ideally looking for a well equipped and trustworthy clan with a base and vehicles but leave all the info down below thanks!

Good morning/afternoon/evening one and all, Had a pretty good run last night with a couple of buddies of mine and figured I would share it with you all (I managed to fraps most of it too!) So there I was. Just spawned into a server (US 455) at elektro north fire station. I look around and find a dead body. Not much good on it except some ammo. My buddy Brian jumps online and says he is in NWAF. So I make a checkpoint on the map and run that way Leeroy Jenkins style. On the way there, I managed to find a heli crash site and after wiping out the zombies around it with my AKM and M9SD, I found an M107, Ghillie Suit, and 2 FN FALs. I take precaution to take off my backpack and put on the Ghillie Suit (first one I've ever found ^.^) then put my pack back on (ALICE). While all of that is going on, my buddy Zach is online and making his way to the NWAF as well, but he spawned in the middle of Elektro and jumped out and into an empty server to kinda get out of town without being shot like so many people want to do. Unfortunately, he jumps into a server that spawns him on the east coast, so it sets him back a bit. Brian is exploring the NWAF and I'm about 3KM from him. He logs out to go eat dinner and I make it to the NWAF. Zach is around Stary or so by the time I get there and I'm starting to get graphical artifacts -_-# so I log out and log back in (usually fixes it) but when I log in, I "die" and respawn in debug plains (first time there too, now queue the gamer chick girlfirend... *cricket chirp* XD) So I curse a minute, log out, back in, spawn at Balota with nothing. Not even a tin can (but still have my ghillie suit so I guess that's the price you pay eh?) I run through the city and search for some supplies so I can once again, Leeroy Jenkins up to the NWAF. I find a coke, some beans, and a hatchet and what not but I lose some blood to the zed chasing me. I find a crossbow with no ammo and discard it. So I'm running in the direction-ish of NWAF, cutting through a couple of towns and looking for more noms and gulp to get me to NWAF. I cut past Green Mountain, found a barn with a double barrel shotty in it to give me some kind of edge, run a ways down past a town, look to my left, and there it was. White Pickup Truck. I was cautious at first becuase I know people and their traps, but zed were hot on my tail, so I decided to risk it (after all, didn't have much to lose) and find a stache of weapons and medical supplies and noms/gulp. PDW, M1911, CZ550, L85A2 AWS, M4A1, AK w/ Kobra, you know, the usual :D. The truck was in great shape, so I haul ass giggling like a little school girl. After I find that, Brian logs back on and finds a tent in the middle of NWAF with more weapons. Someone's AS50 with Thermal Sights (I know I know, hacked/scripted in by someone else of course but when in Rome...) and another L85A2 AWS. So in my excitement, I run past NWAF XD. I drive through it after going to look for my dead body to see If I could get any of my things back but couldn't find it. Meh. So I go and do my best to drive through the artifacts and pick up my buddy Brian. We go and make a temp base somewhere. He logs out and I go to pick up my friend Zach (who jumped back into the server a while ago and made it to the NWAF) and we head towards our favorite campsite (cannot disclose the location of it due to the rapid increase of bandits). And on the way, I kid you not, we find a boat, GAZ, and bike spawned in the middle of this field. So I know now that we are dealing with Skiddies on the server (because anybody can carry an AS50 TWS with them from server to server) so we drive over to the vehicles and I take a look at the GAZ. Low on fuel, needs a tire (which I have thanks to the gent who left that truck lying around) and a new fuel tank. I put the tire on and load it up with some gas and go to pick up my buddy Brian while Zach heads to base camp. On the way there, I find either the same crash site or another one, find another M107, and a PP-19. Zach drives over to me, I give him the M107 because I'm not a sniper (even though I'm wearing the ghillie, I like the L85 just fine ^.^) and we fill up at a gas station and part ways again. I pick up Brian and a few minutes later, successfully make it to base. Unpack and get everything taken care of. Not bad for a couple of hours eh? I logged in this morning to check on our supplies and got nuked along with the rest of the players on the server (that part I didn't get on fraps, didn't bother to run it since I was on the way to work) and D/C'd in hopes that I can make it back to base. I just had to post the shenanigans (from what I remember) and since I got the majority recorded, I'll fix it up and youtube it and post a link for those that enjoy watching other peoples gameplay and what not. Hope you enjoyed reading my little adventure last night. JoeDaddy92

Also, keep in mind that occasionally after a server restart, the server will fail to load all tents and vehicles. They will be missing until the next restart gives them a chance to spawn properly.

2 And this: RULES! 1.) DON'T HACK! Our first rule, and one without any exceptions or excuses. If i catch you hacking on our servers you will be permanently banned. And we will find out. 2.) DON'T EXPLOIT! Don't use game bugs/glitches to your advantage. Don't dupe items, or exploit the hospital roof bug. You will get ONE warning, your character will be killed and your stats will be reset. 3.) DON'T BE AN ASS! Don't play music in the lobby or try to piss people off. Respect other players, even if you want to spend every day killing them ingame! SERVER MECHANICS! Our server isen't like every other server, and there are some things you need to know! First off, when you log off, no matter if you abort, ALT-F4 or pull your plug... Your character stays in the game for 30 seconds! Disconnecting from combat won't save you. Going out of bounds, that is leaving the map will result in your immediate, automagical death. It's quite easy to tell where the map ends, as there are no trees and no grass. Any vehicles or tents found outside the map borders will also be destroyed and relocated randomly upon server restart. Vehicles left unused for 7 days will be reset to their original condition. Sandbags, Wirefences and Tanktraps will be removed 7 days after their placement date. Tents left empty for 48 hours may get deleted without warning. http://zombies.nu/forum/index.php?p=/discussion/86/our-servers-rules-regulations But can not play because of my ping :(

the logo will appear only on vehicles, if you will play other mods it will also appear on your character clothes. the tag will only be visible in the players list and lobby screen. here is how it would look on models that got "place holder" for clan tag: http://fpsquad.rauta...mages/arma2.png all the info will be shown here:http://imageshack.us...1118080894.png/ in the player list menu. you can see all the info and the logo there. this is how it will look on vehicles: http://www.armaholic...r/img/clan1.jpg ___ Dr. Nats, I dont know if its a good idea to post your details here, I suggest you to fill this form: <member id="Player Id Goes Here" nick="Enter Nick Here"> <name>First Name ETC Here</name> <email>Email or Contact Info Here</email> <icq>MSN, SKYPE, TS, WHATEVER HERE</icq> <remark>Smart Ass Comment Goes Here</remark> </member> and send this by PM to Spaceghost. I don't know if sharing Player ID can cause any problems but I think its better to not to share it... ____ If medics will have this tag, players will be able to see if there any medic playing on the server and get the contact info if they need medical help. So its very useful

do you have vehicles turn on?

That's your problem. It's not all about your clan. Based on that statement alone, you are probably the type of person that will restart the server for the benefit of your clan (i.e. refreshing spawns in Stary Sobor), kick/ban someone for killing a clan member, kick/ban players to reserve slots for clan members when the server is full, etc. Here's my suggestion to you: Keep playing on your empty server with your clan buddies. You'll get tons of good loot, vehicles, and won't ever need to worry about being shot by hostile players. Have fun.

What about it? What did I post that was inaccurate? If you think I misunderstood the OP, you need to realizes it comes off like you think it's by design that helicopters don't save right now. Further, your post implies that you think ONLY helicopters have this problem and that it doesn't affect ALL vehicles. Right now, NO vehicles save on reset. So your post might as well be "Why repair any vehicle?". It makes no sense why you are isolating helicopters in your rant. It's clear you don't understand that vehicle saving not working is a bug, because you go on to say "helicopters last years and years in real life", which you wouldn't state if you knew it wasn't a design decision and in fact a bug. Therefore, *because* I read your OP thoroughly, I responded to your post in the context of you claiming it's a design decision and not realizing it's a bug.

Enjoyed the story. I have had those quite a few times now. Due to the vehicles not remaining I don't give a fuck anymore and all I do is murder people over and over....

My personal view is that a lot of the admins tweak the settings (vehicle spawns) and so on in order to bring it in line with what they think the game should play like. It's just not to my taste. I can see the advantages though. I saw one advertised as "50 vehicles per map!" as if that was a good thing, sounded more like wacky races to me.

Im seriously frustrated, ive been playing Dayz almost every day for three weeks and i have yet to see a vehicle spawn. Ive driven one truck (stolen from forest just beside NWAF, and a ATV stolen from inside hangar on NWAF. Ive been to like 90% of all vehicle spawn points and the vehicles are always absent. Ive played on mostly empty servers and rejoined servers that has just been restarted but no difference there (Does server restart affect vehicle spawns at all? I dont think so) Am i just extremely unlucky or am i doing something wrong? Ive played lots on high pop servers aswell, no difference there. Ive followed dayzwikis vehicle spawn point guide and also finecombed every city/place everytime. According to dayzwiki there should be around 49-50 vehicles per server. So why am i so unlucky?

same shit with my server , (vilayer host) , everytime i restart , all vehicles are gone , and all are respawned to its spawning locations , yesterday i've spent 10 hours going around , fidning parts , and fixing many of vehicles , atv's and the chopper , and i saved it all 10000 gazilion times , and when the server restart comes , bam , all gone

Saved tents disappear on current patch, The vehicles inventory would of re-set, but if he saved it then it should be where you left it (unless taken) Ghillie suits, Camo clothing, and any other clothing that may be introduced are removed upon death, and cannot be taken from bodies wearing them. (They need to be the item-form, you can't undress bodies :l )

http://www.dayzwiki.com/wiki/Tent http://www.dayzwiki.com/wiki/Vehicles Tents: 10 Weapon/Tool Slots 50 Item Slots 5 Backpack Slots (Thought it was 8)

Sounds interisting! I just registered and will give your server a try this evening or tomorrow! From the server forum: Killing other players is ONLY allowed in following situations: - You are being shot at - You are being attacked/robbed/kidnapped by a bandit - You are a bandit and the person you are trying to rob/kidnap is trying to escape - Another player is stealing your items/vehicles

Thanks much! The problem is I know I saved my tents before logging off and my buddy Zach saved the vehicles before logging off. I'm really hoping that I still have my ghillie suit O.o"

Just thought I'd promote the hive I play on: I found Vigilant Addiction from playing on one of their public servers, US 228, which had a advertisement for their private line. At the time I wasn't sure what that meant but after looking into it I'm glad I switched over. Being able to keep what you've earned and not having to worry about hackers 24/7 makes for a great DayZ experience. VA hosts 4 different private servers two of which are veteran with 3rd person activated. There's also one hardcore with 3rd person off (which I play on) and one Lingor island. All four servers are running custom settings with fixes to vehicles and tents to prevent duping as well as item and vehicle position loss. Combat disconnecting is forbidden and will result in a ban. More vehicles Randomized spawn locations Timer for vehicle respawn turned low (No more 7 day wait) All servers passworded To apply you need to post in the "Private Hive Access Requests" subforum. Please read the stickied directions. servers.vigilantaddiction.com side note: In effort to spice things up we also use a community driven faction system. It's still in the works! HC1 Territories
