(Yes, I know the title is a typo. It's Ambiance. Not Ambience :( ) Hey guys, TIC here and I thought of something that could be great for the ambiance of a post apocalyptic environment for either day or night for the DayZ Standalone. Here's what I had in mind.. Rocket's Response: http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/151552-quick-status-update-for-week-8-november/?p=1516433 ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Fireflies/Fungi (For Ambiance/Gameplay purposes) Also known as "Lightning Bugs", it would be interesting to see in a big empty field full of vegetation in the nightlife of Chernarus. Here are the possibilities it could bring in the game. Enhances lighting for night time, could provide some visibility for survivors who do not have equipment like NVGs or a flashlight.Possibility of eating larvae that lies in plants or on the ground; won't fill hunger too much but always good protein ;)Could be captured in some type of glass jar to emit lighting around the survivor. Fireflies may die from lack of oxygen over time.Possibility of being used as fishing bait if they are dead.Fact: Some fireflies could be poisonous as a defensive mechanism called "reflex bleeding"; symptoms include numbing lips and constricting of the throat.Fact info: http://gnosticwarrior.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/Firefly-light.gif Bio-luminescent Fungi Could be used for illumination to help navigate around the night without useful equipment.Some fungi could be proven poisonous.Possibility of attracting wild animals in the wilderness by it's source of light; making it easier to find for hunting. Shooting Stars/Jet Contrails/Fog (Relates to lighting/observation) Currently in the ARMA series, the stars have been the least worked on in my opinion. rocket2gunsRocket 106 points A high resolution texture, even at 4k, will not achieve the current fidelity of the stars. The current stars are actually generated at points using the real location of the star at the maps set lat/lon. So there is not really a skybox at night, just a swarm of vert's that generate what looks like a star. What we could probably work is making the stars look a bit better. (Source: Reddit. Click on the underline text to see the context/discussion) I don't really see a purpose of bulleting ideas since the only thing I could think of is that they'd be quite amazing to see while looking at the sky Contrail: Possibility of spotting one in an occasion in the sky. I only assumed if the whole world wasn't entirely infected with zombies. Fog:I am not sure if fog is confirmed for SA but this would be really nice to have. More Sounds During The Day/Night (For audio quality improvements) I have noticed that there isn't much sound during the night like there is in the day (birds chirping) .. How about we add some more sounds? Video Example: www.youtube.com/watch?v=BVelM6VjB7I Maybe in certain areas of the environment, would it be possible to make these sounds echo? (In example is being the woodpecker in the video) This could possibly bring tension while being cautious for zombies.Perhaps these animals should be included in the game for the sounds to have more of an effect?Depending on the environment; the sounds can mask your sounds against roaming zombies or players which can give you a chance to navigate safer at night without being hear.Winds blowing in the trees.Rain should sound different depending on the type of material it's hitting on (Tin roofs, tent, wood, etc) Auroras Definition: An aurora is a natural light display in the sky particularly in the high latitude (Arctic and Antarctic) regions, caused by the collision of energetic charged particles with atoms in the high altitude atmosphere (thermosphere). Video Example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oL5jHrKYqe4 Keep in mind that this would have to be a rare occurrence to happen. Nuclear Winter (Atomic Winter) Definition(Shared by Applejaxc): One major concern of a nuclear war for countries not hit my the weapons themselves is that all the dust, ash, and debris kicked up into the atmosphere would act not unlike a permanent "cloudy day," blocking most of the sun's rays and lowering the earth's temperature. IN all likelihood such an event wouldn't drop the global temperature very much, but it would definitely be a big enough concern if you're "downwind" (so to speak) from where bombs fell, able to make up for if not surpass light pollution in a developing nation like Chernarus.

Why post something not-vanilla if they ask for vanilla? That always bothers me. "Hey, it's not what you're looking for but..." That's basically what's going on. Anyway, my favorite is US 3480 but the ping may be questionable considering you're far from their server which is in the Northeast US. It's generally populated, except when it gets dark on the server, and you may have 10 people on. It's DayZ. No extra vehicles or anything. Use the DayZ Commander filter and maybe you can find a vanilla server closer to you with a decent population. They exist, I don't know why people pretend they're hard to find.

We have every non op vehicles on the map :P Lots of rare and hidden vehicles out there.

You really know how to make people avoid your server. Free loadout? 900 Vehicles? Stop bumping this thread.

If you like a fun military simulator with amazing addons/mods, I'd buy Arma 2 combined operations.. There are lots of fun things to do and of course there are still serious servers around. I don't like ArmA 3 because of the futuristic theme, it's just that much of a letdown I probably won't play it unless they implement modern vehicles by default without mods. Tho, if you don't have enough for SA when it comes out I'd wait.

but donated can be AUTHOR who made addon, not other person, Epoch mod cannot be donated for ... addons i made or server keeper cannot be donated from people playing my addons (i mean that some individuals put addons on server and want money from players for playing addons which are not made by them) just like i cannot be donated for what Invasion1944 mod did or CWR2 mod or CSLA mod cannot be donated for what Invasion44 mod did etc. donation is for AUTHOR not for "mod" which takes my addon and pack it into installer without even dear to share , if player want donate - he can only donate author, not redistributor of addon so once again is see that dayz community members do not see difference between author of addon (models, textures, configs) and user who just repack and zip other addons (as majority of dayz mods do with even OFP addons and authors of OFP addons who left community in 2006 do not know that now their buildings are packed and used in Arma2 and someone collect donations), there is no big difference between "selling" other men's addon and donation from other men's addon - in both cases author do not get his share if Epoch or other mods do their own models (they have modelers, texture makers) they can collect donations - simple if someone made model, textures - it is his luck to get donation if model is made by other person, textures are made by other person - it means he cannot collect donations (but it happens in dayz modding scene where all dayz mods collect money and only few of them have modeler or texture artist in team) for example RobbertHammer or Christian1987 cannot be donated for weapons packs because he uses Counterstrike authors models (models, textures are made by Counterstrik modders and RobbertHammer just imported models to Arma) - example of author and non-author donations issues if for example RobbertHammer or Christian1987 would be collecting donations i would write email report to original authors from Counterstrike who would gone mad etc. for exaple Marsellie77 used my cars and APC and weapons to make his RACS/SLA/German mods and he cannot collect donations using my models etc. etc. RACS mod for example contain my tanks, my vehicles, my weapons - situation is similar so it is not issue IS someone collecting donations or not, but IF he made stuff (models, textures) himself, in fact majority of dayz mods do not have single modeler, single texture artist but have hundreds of weapons, vehicles and collect donations - this is issue and problem, selling addons also happens on worldzombie.ru Russians were selling Martin's Taviana, to download Taviana you had to pay 250 Russian Rubels (their money) to download Taviana for Russian dayz modification so the main issue is whose content is in comparision to donations profiteer , in Arma2 modding scene there is no such problem because almost noone collect donations , in dayz "modding" afaik all mods have "donate" button, all servers have "donate" button, from 2004 to end of 2012 i didn't get even cent for hundreds of models i made for OFP, Arma1, Arma2, dozen of mods, when dayz entered scene first what those "modders" done was to start Paypal and pack our addons (Martin island was one of first addons from Arma which was monetized by third parties, my weapons pack were second probably and later i was seeing my cars or my weapons on Youtube as "other mods content" with "donation" button) , in Arma when someone want to use addon in his mod (not player but modder) first he asks and he doesnt collect money using your models, in Arma it is very rare and Arma /OFP community has 10 years, dayz comunity has 1 year and during this year made more problems to addonmakers than Arma/OFP community would do in 100 years when OFP /Arma comunity moder is asked to remove content he has answer "okay", when RKLS Rock (author of jet planes) asked one dayz guy not to steal cotnet he get answer "Fuck you you cocky cunt that maybe most of the addon makers but there are thousands more of us hackers than guys that just make stuff!' < such things not happned in OFP/Arma since 2002 , so RKLS ROCK answered "Maybe so, but if we dont make stuff for public release you wont have anything to hack."

more than likely the time we stole the ural after that kid on the bike tried it on down by the docks and beano slotted him with a crisp burst from the mk48 the ural was loaded with satchel charges and we spent the whole night blowing things up driving through forests searching for camps to blow up we found 3, 2 of them had vehicles and we blew the lot up after we'd blown up the hospitals in cherno and elektro and the churches including 2 noobs we blew up the ural

Hello there my name is Ben (in game name "InboundLegend" ), I'm looking for 1 or 2 more trustworthy members for my clan as we've expanded to a larger base to build our headquarters and are in need of a some capable experienced fighters for our combat support, your position will be mostly supporting those who require it, scouting information on other base's and clans and maybe performing raids if necessary, gathering high tier equipment and generally being protection for HQ and our other bases, we can all fight ourselves and have the equipment for it but there is a lot to do in epoch and not enough time to do it all with just a few of us, Were already set up and well off with equipment and weaponry so as the primary "soldier unit" you will have the best guns, vehicles and equipment we can afford, The server we play on has a great community as we have allied with other clans allowing us the control of the NE of the map our clan will be attempting to develop a defensive line around the neaf for a stronger position on the map The requirements are below :) . Must have a microphone.. (if not must speak English) .You have to act like a team at all times .Good communication with each other .Good navigation skills with each other .Do not join if you like to run off and do your own thing, you either have a mission to do ("something extremely awesome I have tasked you with") or you will be at base protecting and helping us develop the structure. .Nothing you gather or find is yours personally it is all of ours and will be available for anyone when necessary, same goes with our equipment if you like the "MK 48" you can use it, if you fancy using an "M14" ..use it, nothing is to be claimed... Just generally play the game as a semi professional team, and please have a sense of patience. If you love this mod of a mod as much as me add my steam "inboundlegend" and we can start taking out some other clans ;) .

Sorry if I'm repeating anything already mentioned in the 8 pages that I'm not going to read through. Also sorry for giving feedback on stuff that has been around for ages. I haven't played in a while. Overall, this patch is awesome. I love the new inventory/UI elements. The 1 2 3 weapon changes is GREAT and long overdue. I like how there's far more of an element of scrounging for survival now, with heaps of cans of food that give you a tiny bit of health to keep you alive, etc. I like how guns are very rare and how you basically should never use them against zombies because you instantly attract the horde; guns for PVP and melee for PVE, very nice. Crafting looks promising but somewhat crappy at the moment. I had all the components required for creating a barbed bat but it didn't recognise the baseball bat and wouldn't let me create the item, so I gave up on that. Some of the crafting items seem really unnecessarily complex for little gain, like crafting a bandage. I have not yet found all of the required components, yet I have found dozens of actual bandages, so what would be the point of crafting them? I am either extremely unlucky with vehicles, or there is a vehicle save bug. I had three vehicles disappear on me on consecutive nights and at least one of them I found back where it had spawned with the same gear in it as when I found it. I like the way the zombies behave now. It makes stealth/evasion a much more necessary and useful strategy, tied in with the risks of firing a weapon etc. I haven't found any silenced weapons yet but I'm guessing they will be very valuable. There might be a bug with the hospital glass as I have not been able to smash it either with a hatchet or by throwing cans at it. This might be intentional behaviour though. I haven't tried firing a weapon at it yet. I was driving a bus once and had stopped and zombies were able to hit me in the driver's seat. Bug or intended behaviour? If it is intended, I think it would be awesome if zombies had to smash the glass to be able to reach you first. This would add some value to repairing the glass on vehicles. I like the way zombies can knock you over. Choosing a spawn point is an interesting change. I think I like it, but either way, the fact that it is a server setting makes it awesome. Not spawning with a flashlight is a good change. I like having a chance to prevent infection before it starts, so that having antibiotics is not necessary. The extra loot spawn points in doorways and under carports and under wrecked trucks and things is fantastic. It adds a lot more interactivity on the map. I think I saw a zombie spawn out in the forest once? Might have just been really lost or lured out by another player, but if not, excellent! Add more risks to the uninhabited places. At the very least it makes the hours spent running across the wilderness more interesting. I think maybe some zombies are spawning already dead? This is great because it means you can't be sure if someone is around or not. If it's a bug, then keep it as a feature. That's all I can think of right now. Keep up the awesome work!

Greetings Survivors, Heroes and fellow Bandits, I am Lemondog, and I have been playing DayZ since June of 2012. I have seen and done it all, starting as a lowly good-guy bambi, to becoming one of the most ruthless and cold-blooded bandits I think DayZ would ever see. This is my story about DayZ, how I changed as a player and some of the greatest moments I have ever had. **1) My First Spawn** My first ever spawn. I spawned in Seattle 1337 with two of my friends North of Cherno. Because I was clueless, I was told to go prone in a brush and wait for them. Upon meeting up, I was escorted to Stary Sobor, possibly the scariest place on the map. Upon arriving at Stary, my friends noticed peripheral dots, signalling zombies at the tents. Upon seeing this, we came to the only logical solution: I was going to run out there and juke this guy. So here we have me, who's been playing forest simulator 2012 for 25 minutes, now running into the middle of the tents, screaming in Direct Chat, "HI HOWS IT GOING! THIS GAME IS AWESOME!" The player in the vicinity comes out of the tent and just stares at me. I think he thought I was high as a kite because here I am running around trying to make small talk. The meanwhile, my friends have moved around to the East of the tents, crosshair on his head. As he lifts his gun to shoot me, I beg and plead and then, silence. He drops to the ground a lifeless corpse. I get my first gun. Yay. We continue on to the NWAF, were I spot someone crawling to the barracks. I nervously aim my gun at his head and shoot probably 15 rounds into him. Yeah, he's dead. YAY! First kill! After this, we head back to Stary, only to run into a camp. As we go to loot it, we get wrecked by a Machine Gun. Dead. RIP. Never forget Seattle 1337 North of Stary. **2)The Rise of a Hero and Betrayal** I played DayZ believing everyone was deep down innocent until proven guilty. I made it my mission to save innocent new players from the assholes known as bandits. As I continued to do this, a very popular server, the Billy Mays Server, came to existence. Alongside my friends, we inhabited the server as regulars and were always helping people, until one day, it all changed. As usual, someone was hurt and needed blood. Nothing new I figured, everyone knew us on the server, he probably just got hit by a zombie since he seemed new. As we approached, I noticed something didn't feel right. He was taking a long time to reply to questions. Also, he was down in a very open area, making me vulnerable to any sniper shots. Most players found cover, but not him, not good old Chaos. So I approach Chaos, heal him up and take my payment (Mountain Dew.) As I'm on my way out, all I hear is the sound of a DMZ. Next thing I see is a screen. YOU ARE DEAD. I wasn't the only one. My partner was hunted down as well, our car stolen. The last thing I remember hearing is Chaos laughing hysterically, whispering "No tears." As I re spawned in Elektro, I only had one goal on my mind: Revenge and absolute destruction on Chaos' soul and his groups. **3) A Team is Assembled.** After death and re spawning, a plan was hatched. I was to infiltrate their group of friends, locate their camp, and earn their trust. Alongside me were 3 friends I've known for a while. We had Nick, someone I've known since 2004 and still one of my good friends to this day from elementary school. We had Russ, a friend of Nick's from high school, who we had been playing games with since 2010. And then, Randy Motherfucking Shuggs. The final member to ever be inducted into our group of friends. I found him on mIRC for a counter-Strike 1.6 scrim back in 2009 and he stuck around ever since. Nick's specialty was sniping. He rarely ever missed shots, and if his gun was shot, you would die. Russ, the scout. His experience in Cub Scouts as a child clearly payed off here. His ability to range accurately without any rangefinder or binoculars was uncanny. And Randy. The close quarter combat specialist. More than once he was known to run into Stary alone guns a blazing, kill 5 people and survive. This man was a crazy moron. We love him. And then there's me. The special agent. On top of my superb rifling ability, I could charm you faster than a whore on mainstreet. **4) Plan Pineapple** Plan pineapple was a go. As I ran back to my now lifeless body, I ran into Chaos. As he aimed his gun at me to kill me once again, I simply uttered 4 words..."Let me Join You." He looked back at me, smirking and asked quietly, "What makes you think we trust you?" I had him. Two things sell on people, fear and greed. "I'm the most trusted player in the server, you can follow me to my missions and cap kids. Together, we can make a fortune." He lowered his gun, and I let out a sigh of relief. Him and his group agreed to let me join, but under the condition I don't carry a gun as I could backstab them. I was handed an Axe and told to kill any zombies. What had become of me? The most trusted player on the server reduced to a mere zed killer for a group of people I resented. I knew what had to be done. I did as they said for roughly an hour while the group was setting up the scene. Berezino was the place. Randy was the bait, sitting in the supermarket alone with his Alice pack and a CZ inside. Nick was camped out, roughly 500 feet away in the trees, aiming his trusty dusty DMZ at the supermarket. With a ghillie suit, he could not be seen from more than 10 feet away. Russ sat on top of the hospital, serving as the eyes. I credit him to this day, that job left him so vulnerable and more than once they had to kill someone shooting at it him while we approached. After an hour of being their personal zombie shield, Chaos and his friends invited me to join their Skype Call. Lucky me, I thought. My group uses ventrilo, so I went for it. So here I sat, a double agent in action, in both my ventrilo and a skype call at the same time. They gave me a weapon, an AK74, and said welcome. They provided me with gear at their camp which was north of the NWAF. I told them I recieved a message that I'm needed in Berezino and the reward were 2 Coyote packs and a CZ. Chaos looked at me, probably wondering if this was real or not, but eventually I heard the words I wanted too. "We'll take the UAZ." **5) Executing the Plan** We drove to Berezino in what seemed like a second. As we approached, Chaos mentioned in Skype our plan, which I cryptically relayed to my teammates in Ventrilo. I would repeat things such as, "So you said we are going to enter from the north, right?" in both calls to try and not draw any suspicion. We left the UAZ roughly 800 metres from Nick, which scared me a bit, but luckily he wasn't seen. We approached a faint help from Randy, doing his best 5 year old impression. "Can someone help me, I'm friendly!" Chaos snickered in skype as we approached. After killing the aggro'd zombies, we circled poor Randy. "Hey there man, I'll blood bag you and we'll be on our way!" As I bloodbagged him, Randy got silent. He stood up after and said nothing. Chaos had had enough and aimed his gun at his head. "Say your last words you little bitch." Randy looked at him, barrel to the face and said the magic words. "PINEAPPLE." The second we heard that, it was on. Nick took out Chaos with one shot, I sprayed into his teammates and Randy took out the third. After the bloodbath, we quickly looted their bodies and buried them. As I sat in the skype call, basking in my glory, all I heard from Chaos was a whimper, "but why Lemon? Why?" Before I ended the call, I simple chuckled and said our now famous catchphrase, "No tears, only dreams now." We ran quickly to the UAZ, looted their camp and got out. All the while, news broke to the server of what I had done. I simply embraced it. Anyone asking for help was now shot on sight. More than once I earned a player's trust only to backstab them. This was the life I needed. WHAT A RUSH. **6) Laying Low, Base Established** We decided that we needed a base. We officially named ourselves the TNP Banditos. It was time to lay low. Everyone knew us by our gear and our style. We had to lay low, because we were a server-wide hated group. Someone went as far as to put 2 UAZ's and a Heli as a reward for killing and locating our camp. Luckily, with no nameplates, it helped but everyone knew my player model. I wasn't changing it. I wanted them to come at me and get some. We quickly looted 4 tents, ran to our now top secret base, established it. The base was fairly big. Probably 20x20 metres in terms of size. I cleverly placed the tents so they could only be accessed one way, which took forever to figure out. We hid the UAZ as well in about 6 trees. There was only one way to get it out, which took us about 4 hours of practise. Now that the base was established, we were ecstatic. We had gear for the rest of eternity and no one knew where we were. Until Janaury 28th, 2013. When some kid named Alex spotted me heading towards my camp. He promptly followed me until I was about 500 metres away from it. I finally saw him crawling behind me in trees and killed him. All I saw next was on the map, him place a marker on me, simply typing "TNP BASE." A tiny red message popped up in the corner, server restart in 15 minutes. We had to survive for 15 minutes. We didn't have a choice. **7) The Battle of Krasnotav** We first heard it from the north. We were in Krasnotav, quickly looting some food / drink and heading back to the camp when we heard it roar. A convoy. 2 Cars and a UAZ. We had about 20 seconds before they got to us. I did the only logical thing anyone would do, I went prone in the middle of the fucking road. So here I see them driving right at my head as I'm prone. As they near me, all hell broke lose. Randy and Russ are hammering M249's into their vehicles, Nick is sniping relentlessly and I'm spraying the tires. The UAZ stopped on top of me. I literallly was pinned under a fucking UAZ in the middle of a 4 on 15. Randy and Russ quickly blew up the cars and Nick took out the UAZ players. We got out of there so fast I couldn't tell you. As we got to the camp, we heard it. A heli. It started firing at us and then I saw something I swear I'll never see again in this game. Randy runs at this chopper which is landing, and sprays the m249, capping 4 people in about 2.5 seconds. I did a double take but had no time. Nick and Russ were stashing as much stuff as they could onto the chopper. I helped as well. After piling on everything valuable, we took one last look at our camp. Our home for 4 months, destroyed. We did the only thing we could. Set fire to it. As we lifted off, Nick the pilot, we looked back, and prepared for the next chapter of our adventure together as the TNP Banditos. (At this point the server restarted we had landed somewhere random.) **8) Gorka (Fuck this place)** We landed in Gorka, we needed fuel badly. We landed and Russ started filling up while me and Randy looted. Then we heard it. Another chopper. And a car on the road. We were fucked like no other. Thinking quickly, me and Randy both threw smoke grenades and ran. As we found cover, the car stopped at the gas station and a player, alone, got out to loot. Yeah, dumbass. He was dead. The heli started firing. Nick yelled at me in vent, "Get them distracted I fucking got this." I took a deep breath and looked at my 120 day long character. This was it. I ran like a mad man across the road as it fired away at me. Then all I hear behind me is shots. Nick killed the passenger. The chopper, and for some reason, maybe fuel, landed. He got out and surrendered. As he surrendered, all we did was laugh. I axed the poor bastard in the back. As we took stock of what the fuck just happened, we had 2 heli's, a car and so much gear you wouldn't believe. Nick piloted one chopper, Russ the other, I drove with Randy. Nick was hovering in his chopper roughly 25 metres above us when no one knows what happened, whether he fucked up or the game derped. As I watch him hover while he sets a marker, he starts to descend. We scream at him but it's too late. He crashes into the helicopter Russ was in, creating an explosion so big I was in awe. The explosion wrecked our car, killing Randy on impact. I survived, with 500 blood. As I quickly tried to loot everything I could to run, a player came by. And told me to freeze. As he aimed his sights on me and told me to help him and he'll let me go, I sat there, dejected. Instead of letting this kid have the satisfaction of bossing me around, I did the only thing I could: I dropped a frag grenade at my feet. This kid looked at me and ran away as fast as he could. Me, I just stood there. The seconds seemed like years, My character had started as a simple revenge character against Chaos, and had now become the most vilified and hated person on the server. I had raided camps, ruined lives, destroyed villages, and now this was it for me. As the grenade bounced one final time and was about to detonate, a familiar voice entered my head. "No Tears, only dreams now."

Us264 and US 659. 659 is more active but is also running several scripts such as dynamic heli crashes, extra vehicles and extra buildings. I like it all right but prefer us264 for the community and pure vanilla nature. Both are central time zone

Also maybe all the soldiers died before they shot many bullets because they were trying to avoid destroying their vehicle by swerving yet, hitting a tree. But also sometimes the patrol vehicles should be in the middle of the road as an obstruction to normal driving. Also if they were wasting ammo fighting the zeds and if what another poster (I forget who) says that patrols only bring one or two mags the ammo on these dead patrols should be low, very low; not even a full magazine.

i like this idea. currently crash sites ''happen'' in open fields or in general aren't habitat related, patrols spawning everywhere, on a road with vehicles involved, in towns, would really add a vital feeling to the map and exploration side of the experience.

Reasons why you should play on our server: Fair and honest adminsNo admin/staff abuse. Stuff is not able to spawn items, and will not have an unfair advantage over other players. We are survivors too, who just want to play the game.No Loadouts for sell. Sometimes you can earn a free gun via promotions and contests, but no one can pay to win on our server. We are wanting this server to be a fun survival server for survival enthusiasts. We want our server to be about surviving and less about just PVP as most servers are. We will never sell guns or ammo. If anyone ever donates they may get a sack of food or medical supplies as thanks. Some features of our server: 4.5 hours of daytime, and 1.5 hours of night time. Server restarts every 6 hours. When it restarts it'll be day time again.Zombie-free cities/camps. We want the game to be more realistic. These cities and camps have walls around them. So, its as if they were cleared out by survivors. No random magical zombies can spawn within them.Vehicle towing and heli lifting. Have multiple cars? Fine tow them together. Also if you have a heli you can pick up vehicles off the ground.Salvage Vehicle Parts: Remove parts from vehicles to fix other vehiclesSelf Blood Bag: You can now blood bag yourself!AI Missions: Go on AI missions against AI bandits, to get good gear and humanity.AI Guarded static bases (air fields) with lots of lootRemove clothing: Kill someone who has a ghillie or camo clothing? TAKE IT! but keep in mind that there is a risk of destroying the outfit.Many custom bases and buidlings for you to discover.Contests to earn gear and other prizes. More to come. If you wish to join a new server with cool admins, that has more focus on survival than PVP, come visit us. 192.31.185.203:3102 http://www.survivortalk.com

Great server, not hosted on Dayz.st or HFB or other service so it will have a long live span. It is hosted on GofW's home server. Our mappers keep adding new content, roads, towns and bases with lootable structures. The AI always make it challenging. Check out the castle @ Altair, or the new town @ Guba bay that has a road running to it from Olsha. The list goes on and on. 500 vehicles. Custom loot tables, custom trader tables. (you can buy cinder blocks and mortar.) The new players have nothing but great things to say about what we have added to the server. Check it out, plant a tent or an entire base. But have fun!

195.154.178.77:2312 420 High Times This server has been set up by me and a few friends because we are sick of looking through hundreds of epoch servers with abusive admins or too many vehicles/too much loot it makes it a bad experience and does not reflect the true meaning of Dayz. Our server offers a service like no other we will listen to the recommendations of the public want a new script added just ask and we will discuss between the admins the benefits and losses from that script if it seems like a good idea sure we will implement it. We are not afraid to try new things and change stuff around a little to make sure the players have a good experience. Need help ask an admin they will be happy enough to come down to the coast and give you a pickup if they're not busy. This is a veteran server run by mature admins and are looking for people like YOU to come and have fun! Auto Refuel Events Tow/Lift 120 Vehicles Active Admins High Times! 195.154.178.77:2312

They should have a couple different models for each vehicle like they do now, only instead of "heavily damaged" and "blown up", they should have "30 km/h frontal collision", "90 km/h frontal collision", etc. Would be more work and more models, but worth it. I doubt SA needs the huge amount of vehicles in ArmA, less but more detailed. Agreed with OP. You shouldn't notice your car is leaking gas/whatever unless you look at the dashboard indicator and realize or step outside and see a puddle, etc.

Today was long. After finding a chopper crash site about a KM away form the NEAF, I mentioned it to a person in side chat who seemed to be bored. He offered that I join his teamspeak, so I did and off we went. During our time partnered up, we found a grand total of 1 UAZ, 1 Humvee and 3 Little Birds, all ripe for the picking. Since he was the one doing all the driving and I was delegated to simply sitting around, I was watching the sidechat. A woman named Girl (confirmed that she is indeed female, you disbelieving internet-goers) needed a lift. I offered her one, which my partner wasn't exactly thrilled about but allowed anyhow. After picking her up, my partner started to get a little... Odd. His personality seemed to change completely, once vehicles (this was on an official hive server) were part of the equation. He didn't want her stealing anything nor wrecking anything. Suffice it to say, from here onwards I started to have my doubts that I'd ever play with the guy again - he was not exactly the most fun of persons. Hours later, we have two vehicles and enough parts to fix a chopper for ourselves. At this point I started pinging, meaning that I get kicked from the server and can't get back in; but was still present in the teamspeak channel. My partner, who will still not be named, got worse from there, Since Girl's playful nature which conflicted rather heavily with his harsh, serious personality. The two eventually got into a small argument, which in turn led to him basically telling her to 'fuck off', right before he logged off of both the server and the TS channel. Unfortunately for him, Girl knew exactly where he'd parked the Humvee that he deemed was his alone. Now, rather than being completely geared with fantastic loot and completely repaired for future use... It now has no wheels, no fuel, no gear and a wire-fence set up through the vehicle itself. The guns we'd collected and put in there were then put up for auction for those in the server to do with as they pleased. If you're going to be mean to a girl on a video game, make sure she isn't within reach of your beloved belongings and vehicle. Also, she totalled the UAZ.

Apparently you are unable to receive new messages so i'm posting it here. Saw your post. I am interested in you doing some scripting for me if you're up for it. I have used a guy previously but it didn't go so well. He was fine scripting for my current version but was then unable to fix the script when the version was updated. I'm looking for someone that will be able to maintain the scripts when the server version is updated.....or at least show me how. The scripts I am interested in are: self-blood auto-refuel salvage vehicles remove fog night lights Cargo Drop Always sunny I'd like to be able to make it permanently night on one of my servers and short nights on the other if thats poss. I'd be interested to know about infistar antihack, never heard of it before. I used to use BluePheonix admin tools but they keep breaking the server when a version updates. I am using two DayZ 1.8.0.3 servers through DayZ.st. One is NON PVP and the other PVP. Let me know if you need any other details. Cheers Andy

Great server, awesome admins, good response time and lots of players and many vehicles :)

Good luck! Black Ops will be in and out before you Mercs even get in your vehicles. :P
