Vanilla DayZ means regular DayZ with no added buildings,vehicles,skins, or any changes.

Great. So now i can only own a couple of vehicles? In real life, i can own a thousand cars if i want to and have the money. I really don't understand why you think this should be implemented. It really isn't necessary. Also, if this is implemented, i can already see the new server names: 1000+ vehicles PER PLAYER, etc.

Anything so people cannot hog all the vehicles? When I used to play I never saw a vehicle for months unless I was on a private hive.

I suggest trying out my server :D http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/144974-wolf-pack-dayzchernarus-hardcore-server-active-admins-many-custom-scripts-kill-messages-added-weapons-debug/ IP: 198.27.83.217:2372 Teamspeak: ts52.gameservers.com:9314 It's run on a vilayer host so it has really low lag & good FPS. We have about 250 vehicles and not too many helis, tons of features and active admins. Try it out!

Admins can spawn extra cars so they don't "take it away from players". That's where the vehicle limit comes into play. Admins can choose how many vehicles players can claim.

I think this is a bigger reason for the current server populations than many people on both sides of the issue would like to admit. 3 of the 4 default difficulty levels enable 3rd person. If I was a new player introduced to ARMA by DayZ setting up a server last fall when player and server numbers peaked I would have picked one of the default server profiles. More than likely I would have picked a profile in the middle of the difficulty range, and that would have meant yet another third person. Like so many of DayZ's current features that we take for granted I think the dominance of 3rd person is an accident as much as anything. Having hooked up a few sling loads in real-life and knowing of a couple helos that went gone down because of improperly loaded slings, I think this is exactly how it should be. This shouldn't be a skill that you master in 20 minutes. Hell even though they were less than 1.5 meters tall and nearly 50 m from the LZ helo-ops made us move a couple of the tents at one field camp because they were underneath the flight line that the pilots preferred. That being said, functional mirrors would go a long way towards making vehicles, including helos, much more realistic and easier to operate..

Whats so funny at this Video? im the only admin of this Server and im not "Playing" active. I just take care about the Server and much others. There is no admin base on our Server just a few Clan bases. u Crashed into one of the save bases. Great but useless Vehicles respawning automaticly in safe bases, if they get destroyed.

If I created a server that was set for all hardcore settings, set on veteran difficulty, increased zombie damage, full night/day schedule, locked on first person; how many people would be interested? Addons would include siphon fuel and maybe a debug monitor I've been thinking about it, and I think I might do it, just need your feedback! - Siphon Fuel - Little more than Vanilla Vehicles - No Humvees & 1 SUV - 1 Helicopter - Custom Russian Themed Military Bases To try it out join: 67.228.177.191:3034

My suggestion for future DayZ Versions. (Not the standalone) Anti-theft system Basics: - Admins can disable/enable it with false/true value in server or mission.pbo - Highly customizable in terms of max vehicles p/player and which type - Admins need to add their own UID's so they can drive all vehicles if system is being abused How it should work: - players will get a scroll menu just like "get in as driver" option to claim a vehicle. (keep max claim amount in mind) - if a vehicle is claimed already, players can only get inside it as passenger, can not access the gear. - players who own a vehicle can unclaim it just like claiming it. - owner is attached to UID so no claim loss if death - if player tries to drive a vehicle which is claimed, he/she can not get in. This system should be not extremely hard to code and also (if written well) not affecting server/client performance. I think this system will be very popular on servers where the no-stealing rule is being used. Right now, it is very hard for admins to control if the players are actually following that rule.

I knew they wanted to build new vehicles from the ground up just like they are doing with guns but they were also kicking around the idea of releasing the standalone with the old vehicles and then updating from there. For myself it is not too big of a deal, but I hope the development of new vehicles is within the 3-5 month range instead of taking way too long. I think most players love the concept of vehicles but functionally they have always been a pain in the ass. They are hard to hide (especially when you add in esp) and are bullet magnets. I know a good amount of people who enjoy the heavily modified servers we see now will be unhappy with the standalone but lately I have been thinking people who want it to mirror vanilla DayZ will also be disappointed. Both groups are going to need to concede to the fact that things have to change in the standalone, otherwise it is just going to be a stale rehash with better window dressing. Since I am already way off topic I should bring it back by throwing some fire on this flame, everyone who uses third person are horrible players scared of playing a real mans game and anyone who wants to take away third person are DayZ hipsters who think everyone should enjoy the same horrible things they enjoy.

No vehicles. They are completely redoing them, not just bringing them over from ARMA. Just like the guns they will have some customizability. They want to make it so you can find some scrap metal and craft on some reinforcement to knock zombies aside or armor the windows. Even so it should have plenty to do. Finding a nice scope or stock for your gun might be a goal in and of itself. With items degrading with use you might end up on quests to find new shoes before yours get too worn. :)

Have they confirmed the no vehicles at launch? I know there was talk of putting in the current vehicles and then the team reworking vehicles from the ground up as development continues. People like an objective and even back in the day when vehicles were insanely rare it provided an objective (even though it almost always ended quickly with some group destroying your vehicle as you drove or someone stealing the vehicle as you were offline). The problem with "vanilla" DayZ is it did get stale and boring. With the resources that comes with actually selling the game the developers can devote time and staff toward updates and new features. Vanilla DayZ added next to nothing in a six month span and eventually people got bored with the same experience. I loved, I mean absolutely loved, DayZ at the beginning, but what was once fun became tedious after doing it X amount of times. I held out longer than most, but now when I spend time playing DayZ the majority of my time is spent in the new mods, maps, and on occasion the easy mode PvP servers where you can jump on for thirty minutes and get into 3 to 4 firefights. I do not want or expect the Standalone to match the variety of the mod, but if they put out a stagnant product that was not offering new experiences it would be a flop. From what I have read I am not worried about that outcome, the developers know that putting out a vanilla DayZ standalone would be a waste of time and effort.

DayZ standalone is going to be a massive flop then. Being basically a "hardcore" version of the vanilla mod, placed on a modified Chernarus with no vehicles at launch and no support for modding.

What would be really cool if you could change the position of the head inside vehicles. In reality you do that instinctively to better see around. Similar to that peeking over stuff while prone just like leaning would be great as well.

I have to admit that landing a chopper in FPV can be DAMN HARD. I play in Breaking Point when Vanilla gets too frustrating where you can actually lift some vehicles with certain helicopters and fly them to other locations. TPV makes that trivial while FPV means I basically need a spotter or some good guessing to know when I am nice and close and can lift or drop a vehicle. Lately I've taken to forcing myself to fly in FPV and it is a challenge. Landing is probably the worst but it can be done. I've also taken to avoiding Auto-Hover if I can. You have more control without it but one mistake can throw you way off. I will definitely miss having my TPV while flying a helicopter but I think the challenge of learning flying without it will be kinda fun and envigorating. I am slowly easing my way to switching my sever over to FPV only and trying to get my friends to follow suit. Where it WILL be a pain is HMMWVs. Most of them I have been inside in game have windows far to small and low to be of use looking out the side view. As a driver it is nice to swing your view to the side when turning to look into the turn and you just can't in those things.

Yeah, because some of us are going to go out and magically find people we have known and hung out with for over 10 years to replace our friends. Sorry, not 16-18 where I'll change peer groups about as often as I buy new socks. Don't be daft, Some of us play online games to hang out with our friends who have moved a good 13 hour drive away from us and stay a part of their lives. Like I am going to tell them, "Oh, sorry... I prefer 1st person view so I'm going to go play with this guy I chatted with once online in Cherno instead of hearing about how your dental practice is going... because a game is more important than you." Look, my friends play Borderlands and such in FPV and never even consider wishing it had TPV. The ONLY reason they use TPV in DayZ is because it is there and it makes the game easier. My friend has admitted he likes it because he can see zombies and avoid them and drive vehicles better in TPV At least he will actually admit he likes the ease of it... I just wish a few of the TPV proponents would come out and say, "I like to see zombies around corners, okay?" The would garner some respect. Instead we get, "It's not an exploit." and "It doesn't make the game any easier."

There are hundreds if not thousands of servers with pistol+ gear load outs. I f you hover over the servers in DayZ Commander you will often get an idea of what sort of load out the server provides. Look for "custom load out" and almost all servers that say "max vehicles" "extra buildings" "24 hour day" will have some sort of beyond vanilla load out.

Both (crafting and new gear UI along with weapon quickswitch) are included in 1.7.8 dayz patch to be released next week :P Taking into consideration that it will be a very rough (eg buggy) alpha version without vehicles (and many other features, which will be added in time), I don't think it's a nice idea to "make" people buy it, especially if they are not hardcore DayZ fans (those tend to ignore bugs and problems). For all you know, you may get bored with it in a month and go back to the mod. Personally the only viable/stable argument I can think of is the fact that buying it while in alpha will cost you less than buying it as a retail game. So you could save some bucks. But then again, even buying it as a retail game, I'm pretty sure it'll be included in big steam sales and such. So not much of an argument afterall. It seems the only true argument is the "buy it as soon as possible so you can help the progress of the development" one.

Well dean did work on the mod in his spare time while working as a Junior designer at BIS (although he started the mod long before that), he's made many other mods/maps/vehicles and stuff over the years too. He was in a very junior position, you can't just rock up to the CEO and ask them to change their engine, I'd imagine that many of the staff there mess around modding Arma in their spare time too, as I said before modding is a hobby for many coders. Legally for him as a modder certain changes weren't possible, as I explained not everyone respects those rules/laws (especially when they smell money), surely you can understand that. I'd argue that what he did was even better though. He proved to them that his idea was so good that they agreed to give him his own project and fund it, hence the SA and full a access to the engine without the restrictions placed on him as a modder. Kudos to him and BIS surely?

Just slapped in Deployable Bike's. Well Bicycle and more of the new vehicles that were added in. Like the Camel, M240 humvee etc in custom locations. More to come.

If normal vehicles could be slower and get stuck in snow aswell while snow mobiles glide overtop giving them a distinct advantage over cars.

That's another thing yeah; walking with bikes. Actually... I hope they introduce gears to cars so we can put vehicles out of gear and push them if they run out of gas. Or set them on fire and push them down a hill because mayhem is fun. EDIT: Would of course also make the whole driving thing more interesting if you need to know how to shift gears and also give more of a reason to (sorry for bringing this up, no needless arguing intended) stay in first person in a car to be able to see the dashboard since it would help a lot more. Especially since I hope the current UI where you can see speed and fuel levels will be removed.

I cannot find my guid in this ban list * maybe i overlooked it b/c so many but im on it somewhere* and would like to be unbanned GnarlyGnome 839119d75a56111e4e24663f75b08962 (banned by dart bans(dart)) it may or may not be an older list im not sure i couldnt find my guid on that list but when i join 1m vehicles overwatch it says im on the ban list soo its there somewhere.. dunno if its the "older" list or not but i was orig banned about a year ago for dupeing on ATF's panthera server to combat other dupers *backpack pickups* and someone else in my team mouthed off to the admins and we were banned. The name at the time would of been Gnome or GnarlyGnome. *sent damn activation key to wrong email and failed to get it on these forums lawl* Is this is the correct place to appeal? also i read somewhere that in order to get on the ban list from the watch list u need to be banned 9 times? is the watch list a different list *the one i may be on this and getting banned preemptivly?* is this true or hogwash? and is there a link to the watch list?
