Yes and no. In Epoch you can "trade" your way up into a decent gun instead of running the same loot spawns over and over but that really isn't any easier. For example a DMR is 4 gold and the ammo 8 silver on a server that doesn't have tons of vehicles and all the other things you can find on a private server making it easier, you are talking about finding a few good guns and trading them in and saving up. That is 4 AKs for the gun and a little under an AK or M16. Now 8 Lee Enfields = a DMR mag so you tend to go to the places you might find a DMR anyway unless you get lucky and find a vehicle you can get to a trader in a good condition and sell. The issue is that more than half the Epoch servers out there have towing and 400+ vehicles so it's easy to make gold on them. Saving up to buy a locked vehicle and then for things like Plot Poles to protect your built structures from being simply removed or someone building up to them(build a ladder over a wall anyone) is a serious investment in time and energy on a server where a normal amount of vehicles spawn like 50 and a single person can't ferry numerous vehicles over and over. The OP needs to not play on the "Self Bloodbag - 1000+ vehicles - custom loadout - Tow&Lift" servers.

So if you are looking for a new server, don't bother with this one. A couple of the admins are ok, but the rest spend their time using the server as a private playground, spawning in vehicles and using teleport to hunt players down. They do this saying that it is "testing", but I am not sure what teleporting in on your helicopter with a .50 cal. and blowing it out of the air have to do with testing. My guess is a bunch of kids.

Funny you mention that, because on my server lots of problems have arsed with locked vehicles being sold and destroyed by players randomly. Wow, wow. No need to call me a "buddy," it's not like I've directly offended you or anything! Funny enough, all the mature players/18+ I meet are British or English in general.

If you want a better time, try vanilla or DayZero - if it's an easy server it's going to be full of kids (especially those with like a million vehicles, jets and different load-outs)

admin, please pinn this shit: destroy all private hives!!! :beans: I give you all my beans if you do that! :P - 1000 extra vehicles + 1000 extra weapons + atom-bombs... etc... - who wants this ? go and play arma2...

i think it's worse if you kill someone after he just finishes to repair a chopper. or if you destroy a huge hoard of vehicles and tents. in op's case i'd simply alt+tab arma and leave surivor alone starving for the needed time while i watch/do something else

There should still be a difference in numbers concerning the numbers of US and CDF/Russian equipment especially small arms, the conflict with the US is very short compared to the time they had to equip the CDF military with russian weapons, and the russians also collaborated with the Chedakis afaik...more russian gear. I don't think you will find that many western vehicles compared to russian ones either. Didn't they only have that one carrier close by? It wasn't even a big one. I think i will not be playing the SA but rather a well thought out version of the mod if they go this way...and i was pretty sure they would stick to their course for an authentic game experience. I'll be joining depending on the list of what you can find ( promarily the origon of the weapons ). The alpha will take a long time anyway...i'll stick to a working version so far.

True...there are a couple of thing that don't fit into DayZ rarity wise... The .50s were desired by most KoS players because they wanted a 1HK weapon against players...you rarely encounter vehicles, even on servers with 500+ vehicles you still had to find stuff to make it work and most didn't even bother because they were either shot up by those players or most didn't even care for one because they wanted to pvp anyway. And using a vehicle in DayZ is like kicking a beehive and waiting for the bees to sting you.

not true the purpose of a .50 was never to snipe humans but rather to snipe engine blocks disabling vehicles for bandit ambushes and such. in Dayz they are very useful to support roadblocks when a driver attempts to flee around the obstical

I believe OP is implying that once you get those, you can teleport. Because you can actually make all those trips without the required vehicles.

There should be a lot of CDF equipment (vehicles, weapons, etc), however in the Chernaran Campaign US forces were deployed in significant numbers and the CDF got supplies with enough gear from them, + what was left behind, + what the Russians obtained that it makes sense for M16s, etc to be around Chernarus as well. I'd like to see the availability of American weapons close to the availability of MILITARY-GRADE CDF/Russian weapons, however ammo for the latter should be much more common than the former.

I think they are either getting new zeds and vehicles done before alpha. God knows i would have. either that or they are shifting over to arma 3.

I made a little graphic to demonstrate why making players invincible and boundary camping is not a huge issue. This can also provide ample open space to spawn in vehicles without obstruction. Also notice how server boundaries extend across each other so that moving around in the spawn area is limited. The dotted portions also would not function as teleport points (merely as physical barriers), so it wouldn't be possible to travel from server to server only through the spawn "box," if you will. Perhaps players who are outside boundaries would not be allowed to fire their weapons, so they can't just wait out of bounds and fire on people approaching the boundary, or other players who are joining the server. It would function as a both waiting area and a cushion from players in bounds, so they would have time to move around and actually move into the map where it's safe to do so. As for the whole MMORPG thing... I just don't see the distinction. DayZ will always remain at it's core a hardcore shooter and survival simulator, but it's also always been a multiplayer role playing game. To me, adding map portals like this, pumping in more and more content, giving players new things to do and generally creating an incentive to continue playing the game, is necessary and inevitable. I mean, I know the team already has a lot to do. However, once they do that, it won't be enough. I think if this game wants to be the definitive zombie apocalypse simulator, this kind of stuff has to happen. As Vindicator said; even a 2x2 grid of maps would add to the gameplay exponentially. A grid like the one I showed would probably take about four years to develop the map content alone. Wolfhound, thank you for your opinion.

Two things, both in Breaking Point which I no longer play. So Breaking Point has an Aircraft Carrier not far off shore. It is fully of decent loot but you need a chopper to access it. Sad thing about it is that if the server resets with a chopper sitting there, the chopper blows up. Soooooooo... One night bored I fly out to the AC as no one is online to snipe me. I run down to the front end(death sentence when people are on) and then run back and start grabbing useful ammo and guns and loading up my chopper with what I can. Suddenly things locked up. I waited and it looks like the server shut down. Server shut down... Helicopter blows up on reboot... anticipation huh? I log back in after it comes up and there is a lot of smoke and no helicopter. I've had this happen before and basically died trying to hit the water and swim to shore so now I am stuck. I know that no friends will be on soon and we don't have a second helicopter so I would basically be stuck until they found one and could fly out and rescue me. Instead I start hopping servers as it is a Hive System. First I pick empty ones. I guess everyone knows they blow up on restart and so avoid leaving them there and logging out. Then I move to occupied servers. I wait patiently until I hear a chopper coming in. Finally one lands and I watch it from cover to see how many people. One guy seems perfect and I am about to ambush him when I hear a second chopper. It lands further down the deck and I wonder if I am going to watch a fight. Nope, they are friends and start looting together. I wait until the one guy is inside or on the upper structure and so can't easily help the other and for his friend to be in a good position. Finally I get my chance and I pop out of cover, mow the one down and hop in the bigger chopper. The Little Bird is down the deck and I am sitting there waiting for the rotors to spin up and watching for the second guy. I finally launch up in the chopper, spin it around and strafe down the deck launching the missiles in it(yeah it had missiles) and blow up the Little Bird so he can't follow me. I fly up to near where on the other server we have some tents and vehicles, but not too near, then answer their upset messages in Side Chat. I thank them and let them know where their chopper will be sitting. Even left them a silenced pistol with a bunch of ammo as a gift but they were less than thrilled with me. Believe me I got off that server in a hurry. Next one was again Breaking Point. My buddy and I were hunting freshspawn snipers around Elektro and are opposite sniper hill in the trees across the valley. We were just leaving the area when we hear vehicles. 4 guys show up in two HMMWVs. We were in a bad area. Lots of tree trunks but not a lot of hiding area. 4 of them heading towards a good sniping position overlooking Elektro? We made a choice and since they were nice enough to bunch up and stop for a second to do something we opened up on all 4 of them. Three down right away and the 4th put some bullets into my tree before I dropped him. My friend finished him off. We took their GPS and their vehicles but were kind enough to leave their bodies since we checked and they are not officially "bandits" according to the humanity thing, we each had 2 murders. They were NOT happy and side chat lit up for a bit while we raced away in our stolen cars.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Land_mines_in_Cambodia Actually land mines are a huge problem in Cambodia as factions have laid thousands of them to establish control over areas of trees which produce Safrole oil, the major component in MDMA. Many of them are also left over from the Cambodian civil war of the 1970's. That means people still die today from land mines that were placed over 40 years ago. You're right in that they probably wouldn't be common on main roads, but what I think he's actually suggesting is landmines as a usable object, meaning players could set them on the road in wait for vehicles.

Been searching for a no lag epoch server with hardly ever desync? Well over here at Good Company Gaming we have just that, although our server is very new we have some one of the best Antihax running on our server that has been edited and customized to perform perfectly, we choose NOT to run Battle-eye as some players, as we know get Globally banned sometimes with a legit reason, I my self have been banned and found the reason to be running an editing program.. Anyway as said, We choose not to run battle-eye, there are many more custom scripts to be added yet.. a few of the many are Street Lights, House Lights, Patrolling AI and AI flying around (They won't be Over Powered), Self Blood-Bagging, Building a bike (with only a tool box) and many others that are recommended by popular demand! We have our own teamspeak so if you feel like joining the teamspeak, please feel free to do just that and team up with someone! Feeling a bit scared about trading zones? no need, we've made it so that there is no bullets fired from your gun once in the trading zone!, but you wont be completely safe from zombies, only a small section of the trading zones are protected by zombies. We are also looking for staff currently, so if you would like to try out for staff we would like to see you on the server a few times before you ask an admin about become staff. There are many custom buildings and another Airfield.. We have by standard spawn 236 Cars, 36 Air Vehicles.

Already DayZ has the hand granade, satchel, M320, and AT4. But another wepon that could be implemented would be the TM-72 or the M15 mine for vehicles. This could discourage people from using a car or truck because most of the time when I see others inside of vehicles. They speed past me, most likely for them they are going to drive full throttle to where they go at all times. Now some people might say, " oh this is unrealistic, why would there be land mines in a zombie apocalypse". Well because Russia and the US were at war in the country. Probley mines were at the ready to put throughout roads and forests. Anti-personal mines also could have been used. I am sure this idea has shown up before many times but still none have been implemented. Here's a list of some land mines that could work: POMZ-2M Mk 7 4AHM-100 You can add to the list as you please. It's just an idea that should be in the game overall for anti-person, zombie, and transport.

on one server i found myself having pitched my tent less than 1k from a huge camp..i've looted that for a couple of months and satchel charged the place in the end because they moved their stuff all in vehicles, which i found some months later: destroyed the whole hoard and kept a car for me and my buddy of that time. i should ask him the video...

Well I was also hoping for people to pitch other ideas, like agriculture or goals that might also be separate but enhanced by a cell based map experience. I did consider the possibility of escaping through map portals, however, you can look at player lists when you browse severs so I assume it would be pretty simple to find the person you are looking for across the boundary, unless you don't know their username... However, I think independent hosting, and allowing players to choose their destination server, is the most efficient way of realizing this kind of goal. Trying to put architecture in place to somehow put every cell on the same server just seems impossible. Also, you could simply prevent players who are in combat from crossing the portal. We already have a combat timer. It would apply to this just like it applies to leaving the game. Brief invincibility when joining another server would be a good idea. As for air vehicles and such, this I am unsure of. I don't really know the limitations of the engine. They'd have to find a way to log out with the vehicle as part of their character, so the game would have to say "Is this person in a vehicle? Are other players in the vehicle? What kind of gear is in the vehicle?" and it would have to save that information, then log out the entire vehicle and it's contents from one server, log them into another server, probably on the ground somewhere. Perhaps the devs could place multiple "spawns" on a map for possible human, land vehicle, boat, and air vehicle placements. There could be many of these across the boundary of a map (or on the coast in the case of island cells) which would make it hard to predict exactly where people would be coming into the game. Again, if two choppers where in combat, they would not be able to leave the server at all. So let's say you approach the boundary line with a helicopter. Upon reaching it, the helicopter should go into auto hover, to allow the pilot to select a new server to join. Maybe with planes the devs could make something similar to the landing autopilot which would just maintain altitude and speed for a while so that the pilot could browse servers while the plane continues to fly off map, until finally he selects the server, and all of the content that player is attached to would just disappear into thin air. On the next server, the player (or players) would spawn in the plane, on the ground. Since these entry points (at least for vehicles) would be pre- placed, the devs could make sure that incoming planes, helos, or cars, wouldn't simply spawn inside a tree or in a place that would make takeoff impossible. Or who knows, maybe they can find a way to spawn things in mid-flight. That would be ideal, but of course the game does have limitations.
