Server Chicago - 112 - We would like to get as many "teams / clans / squads" as possible on the server. Make it so everyone sets up bases and vehicles and just raid and kill each other. This could be the future of DayZ. I myself have a team called [soC] Sons of Chernarcy , about 8 of us who are on the server, so please feel free to bring teams on the server. It is a veteran server, with 3rd person, as well ass GPS on the MAP, but NO MOUSE3 Noobtube. We are all CSS players, so if you have steam msg me on here, or add me on there shaffer23 and let me know if you plan on playing! This is not our server btw, but we do like it!

.:]MM[:. or the Midnight Mercenaries are a gaming group that has recently expanded into DayZ. With around 30 active members throughout the entire community, we have experience with people and dealing with adverse situations. We are a casual group of players in NA but we will not deal with unnecessary silliness. If you are interested in teaming up with us, you can contact .:]MM[:. Meegster on steam, reply to this thread, or pop by our Teamspeak 3 server at mm.clants.net:4692 . We currently do not have much gear, but we are experienced in the game, and play for much of the day. We have plans to set up camps and to repair multiple vehicles for fun and for street cred. Join today!

That is completely understandable : ) But I've had it with random restarts when one has spent hours looking for vehicles etc : ) I've lost a UAZ, Heli, boat and a GAZ to restarts... :/

Hey admins, not to confuz you guys. I love that you take your time and money to host a DayZ server for us players. Much appreciated :heart: But there is a majority of you, who restart servers when everything is absolutely fine. Which can be a problem for those who ride vehicles etc. But I understand sometimes it is needed, unless it just does it by itself. It would be nice to have atleast 30seconds to 1 minute to prepare for a restart. 5-15 would also be nice. But if you have restart schedule, please have a rolling motd if possible. of restarts hours and timezone. :blush: When one travels with vehicles etc one might lose them to a restart, and one might have to trace ones steps. And also, one can spawn where you were at the restart without the vehicle. This can be troubling for players who have been riding choppers, boats. But mostly land vehicles. So the tl;dr= Please give players a heads up and some time to prepare for restarts. Thanks for reading. :angel:

If you make Seattle 150 home I will donate gear, tents, and even a vehicle to your group. The bigger the group, the more I will donate to you. Vehicles are limited but we have more guns then we need. ADDED: Vehicles are not guaranteed, lot of pms already and I can't give them to everyone. PM me for info. Server runs on pst so gets dark about 9-10 pst. Server auto restarts at 8/11 est/pst am and pm. Reg. 3dp on, wp on , no xhair, no name tags. May change setting if enough people ask. UPDATE: Made my first gun dead drop for {FG} clan. If they are still playing come Monday night-ish they will be the first to receive a motor vehicle.

I've been taking care of the spam vehicles, sever resets, and I'm slowly finding out who's spawning them in..

Recent patch has forced tents and vehicles outside of the map range to be deleted/respawned after server restarts, dunno if that has anything to do with it.

this server has many non-dayz vehicles can admin clean this up and ban the ones spawning or using the APC and other attack vehicles

People seem to be overlooking the fact that a set of SAPI plates in a plate carrier are VERY heavy. Roughly 30 pounds or so. Realistically speaking, anyone who is stuck moving on foot in a survival situation would never justify carrying that much weight which could instead be used for food, water, ammunition etc. Now, if you were late in the game, had vehicles and a support group to assist you, it becomes a possibility. The weight penalty would be negated somewhat. Soft body armour is a whole other story, but it should be limited to stopping pistol rounds only.

We assumed everything else was actually hacked into the game. So many vehicles, so many guns. Used some of their satchels against them though :D

Are helis even in game yet? They were one of the earliest vehicles

When a server restarts, sometimes it doesn't connect to the hive properly so vehicles disappear. It sometimes takes another server restart to do it. Also, your claim of admin abuse has no teeth. I see no admin abusing anything here, just another server restart causing another random player to lose his stuff...so the random player freaks out and blames someone. It's a lot like religion really.

Vehicles do not always respawn on server restarts. Sometimes they just aren't there. If the server admins do not have a vehicle, or if the restarts are automated there is no way to know if the vehicles spawned in after a restart.

I know they didnt delete our tent i was just wondering if they like cleared the server or something and as of the vehicles we were in the map and like i said we were standing right next to them then server restarted and they were gone

They can't delete your tents. This happens sometimes after a server restart. Next time they do a full restart your tents will most likely reappear. As for the vehicles? Who knows....(assuming your hiding spot isn't out in no wilderness area)

update! We ran to our tents and all our tents are gone as well.. So im assuming they did a full restart to respawn vehicles if that's possible..

We did nothing but get the parts required to fix vehicles that the hackers damaged, so we could relocate our camp. We lost our Military Offroad vehicle the night before and it has never respawned. They teleported to our vehicle locations and completely leveled the entire camp and surrounding areas. They spawned about 20 satchel charges. Stop speaking about things you know nothing about. Why does this community think we must accept the illegitimate actions of hackers? Hackers by definition are illegitimate and anything they do does not count. Unless the developers rein in on these hackers, this game community will die as fast as it grew.

Well, first off, what's the easiest vehicle to find, and where are they found? Also, what's the most preferred vehicle.

I know that vehicles respawn if they have nothing in them, but a bike can't carry loot so does it save automatically?

All MMO companies distribute their games in one package. The games may come with 2-3 different rulesets (PVP, PVE and RP) and mix of them, but that is it. This game (mod) is going to differ from other games is not the fact that its "realistic" game. No - Arma2 already is realistic game. And you can not get it any more realistic by adding some zombies in the world with constant magically spawning weapons in every household. The real difference is going to be that the game will give everyone to something. And by this I mean that the fact that private servers and server owners can setup their own rulesets for their servers. Some people like 3rd person view - some do not. Some people like chrosshair - some do not. This is where ALL THE OTHER games go in fail category. Evolution requires a lot of competitors. And not only competitors like game 1 vs game 2 (i.e. WoW vs GW2), but also it will require my server rules vs your server rules. As well community made scripting and coding. We saw that the current state has started to drive the social and community evolution not neccesarily to right direction. This is why we created a own DayZ server and added PVP kill messages (beta), disabled server hopping, enabled chats, set vehicles to high, disabled choppers and enabled people to see name when VoiP is activated. It has already started to create a real game community, as one of the problems in DayZ has been that everyone is unknown to everyone. In our server the environment is already evolving into direction where there is actual bad guys and actual friendlies. No concept of "are you friendly?" - no you will learn if he is frienly or not. In future we will even go further in development to let people to LEARN wether certain people are good or bad. We are actually creating a community. And so far the results have been good. Cheers all. ur input is welcome.

I know the admin of the server personally and he wasn't on at the time of the incident. I was on when the server went down as well. This was an automated restart or a problem with the host. PS. You stole those vehicles from my group. I'm gunna get u.

Dont worry, it's a bug already known by many Arma 2 players. It will not kill you. Didnt see the fires on DayZ but i know them well from GITS Evolution Mod (lots of damaged vehicles, if you reloggin you migth get that flames). It has something to do with the chopper. Just restart your game and it should be gone. Greets

Hi, I'v been playing the game with a friend for around a week now, and I have some things i'd like to forward. I understand my opinions may be wrong or inaccurate due to my lack of knowledge of the game itself, but i'm just trying to help :) 1 - As a new player, when I started playing I found it incredibly hard to understand the basic mechanics of the game. I used YouTube videos for almost everything that needed to be done in order to survive. I wouldn't want the game to become to easy but for e.g. and I mean nothing final by this but, to help newer players; you spawn with more then you currently do. Now I wouldn't say ranged weapons would be ideal possibly a Knife of sorts which can do 3-5 hit damage to zombies (making them bad for player versus player combat, which wouldn't affect the longer lived characters pvp too much). To go with this I think some form of navigation would be very helpful for new players that are just joining a server. I don't know if it's been discussed but the in-game map is incredibly hard to find, would it be so bad to have one at spawn? However I'm sure this has been discussed alot. 2 - Cars. I don't want to go into the whole Realistic vs Un-realistic. But they're hard to aqquire and are the only viable way to travel to specific places on the map without enduring a horrendus amount of leaning a empty glass on the 'W' key. I don't understand the story behind why every car you see in the game is unfortunatly unavailable for use. If there is forgive me, but it's annoying that only some cars are repairable, and in some areas of the map it can be hard to find the materials to even fix one. I have no real suggestion here, possibly increased spawn rates for materials or a higher spawn rate for useable vehicles on the map. 3 - Supplies. Now I think i'v played enough to give a better overview of supplies including food and drink. Through personal opinion and opinions from others I have encountered and through videos I have watched, people hate that 50% + of Loot you find is empty cans. It's more then annoying travelling Kilometers to find a warehouse with nothing but empty tin cans on the floor. My suggestion for this is lower the spawn rate for these, and up the spawn rate for things like food. I know food can be farmed from killing Zombies but when fighting the 'buggy' zombies isn't an option early game it becomes more of a hunt to find food and drink then it is to experience the majority of the mechanics in the game such as vehicles, weapons and more. 4 - Zombies. They are the centre of the game, and work quite poorly from experience. This isn't a rant aimed at the team in any way. I'd like to point out some 'bug' issues that me and many others experience with them. I expect you have witnessed the issues yourself and would just like clarification for if they are being tweaked or this is the limitations of the engine itself. They run through walls, it's extremly annoying when you're in a village area. They seem to bug with attack range quite often, it makes it hard fighting them with a melee weapon. Their movment is sometimes ridiculous, which I have to agree adds to the fright factor of fighting them, but is sometimes impossible to hit because of the way movment and aiming your weapons works in close range. With the mechanics of the zombies it's hard for me to provide suggestions, so I apologise for this point being a 'bug' dump. Just some things I have experienced in my time playing I thought i'd share. Thanks :)

Same issue. Also, the bug where some full vehicles disappear after a server restart but show back up on another restart is still happening.

( I have streams on justin.tv of me losing the dirtbike to them and us getting it back later that night if needed as proof ) So this all happened yesterday and there are 5 of us that play on this server constantly and were all there for this.. So we have a dirtbike and tents set up in the woods we are all near our tents and as i drive off we got raided by the admins of seattle 74 and they kill 2 of us and take the dirtbike and some stuff out of the tents which is part of the game sucks to be us we are not bitching about this.. So later on that night my buddy rolls into a town and sees our dirtbike being ridden by the same 2 admins who raided us earlier and kills them both.. No more then 10 seconds later the server restarts ( which it has never restarted at that time before ).. So now we cant loot them and there bodies are gone when my friend went back to loot them after restart.. So now we all end up getting up there and now are looking for the motorcycle which moved because of restart.. luckily we found it siting perfectly next to a quad in some bushes.. So we take both of them to our new hiding spot save them and log for the night.. We get on this morning and they are still there sitting pretty so we are just hanging around them waiting for friends to log on so we can go roll around and we stop receiving messages from client and the server restarts again.. once the server comes up we go to get on and see that the same 2 admins are logged on as well after restart and now to our surprise the quad and dirtbike are both gone again.. Now we had that dirtbike for almost 2 weeks prior to it getting taken and we have 3 vehicles on 3 diff servers and never once have we had a problem with them disappearing.. The admins azrael and korinthius are the 2 doing this and it takes the fun out of the game for admins to be sore losers and pull crap like this.. Please Take the necessary actions required..
