I'm outraged over the footage I saw. Outraged I tell you. So outraged that I'm not going to play the alpha until it's released!! Then I'm going to complain about the lack of military gear and vehicles.

It's been confirmed that we are able to move objects around in buildings which can possibly form as a barricade. As of now; vehicles will be a priority over this idea.

Ok I'm in DayZ I can do all types of mechanical and aviation repairs. I can drive and fly all types of vehicles. I'm a Master of astronomy, orienteering, survival and weapons. I can heal my friends with bandages, pills, give shots and transfuse blood. But yet I lack the knowledge of any drug addict out there, I cannot find my own vein. Although I can find the vein on countless people every day for some reason I cannot find my own. After giving literally thousands of blood transfusions to others to this day I cannot give one to myself. Some day I can only hope that this mystery will be revealed to me. Til then I will always have bacon.

Is there a way to have custom vehicles/buildings on a private hive without installing any mods like Bliss or DayZCC? I have scoured google for a few hours now and all I seemed to come up with was adding to world_vehicle and instance tables. In my installation I didn't use any mods like this and just downloaded the @dayz1.7.7 server files and added them to my arma2 installation. The server is up and running great, but I just don't know where to begin customizing without having to install DayZCC, Bliss, etc... Also... is it because I am on 1.7.7, now that I only have 7 tables (character_data, character_dead, object_classes,object_data, object_spawns, player_data, & player_login) in the database? Before, on1.7.6.1, I had many different world_ids and instance tables, etc and could add custom buildings and vehcile spawns... though the initial install was with DayZCC which could be the reason too. I was just wondering if 1.7.7 changed the database schema or if I can cjust add these "instance" tables and the DayZ server will just find them or if those old tables had something to do with DayZCC. And yet another question -- I noticed it takes around 45 minutes for UH-1Y helicopters crash spawn to spawn on my server. Is that normal? I am kind of new to the DayZ server world and just want to know if it is easy to add custom spawn to a vanilla server or if it is easier/better to use one of the admin tools out there. Thanks in advance for any input.

Hello everyone! I currently run a server with my fiancee that has quickly become one of the most popular No PvP (Please, do not focus on this. I hear enough of it in the server) servers. We currently use Dayz.st but are unhappy with the almost daily DDOS attacks as well as the lack of access to files for script work. We got an HFB server to play with since it was on sale at 50% off and while it gives us more access to the server, I'm not a fan of how they add in more vehicles. With .st we simply use the map tool to place many vehicles of all types all over the server at our whim. We don't need to worry about getting the coords or anything. From what I've seen you haave to get the X and Y to place one vehicle that takes MUCH, MUCH longer than what we are used to. Currently we have roughly 400 spawn points on the map so this is simply insane if we were to try to move over. Recently I was directed to Vilayer who after a look over we are VERY interested in them. Are they more like HFB or .st? We plan on getting TSW to put an end to our daily hacker attacks and when we saw they were affiliated we liked that. Essentially I would like a server that gives us full control, a map that can be given to our staff to moniter the server, and the ability to spawn a large number of vehicles. I admit this is only our 3rd month with the server but we have a very dedicated community and would like to expand in ways we are currently restricted by. Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated. We got the HFB to test out and see how we liked it but we're not overly thrilled. I have tried increasing the number of vehicle spawns but get nowhere with it. We are hesitant to purchase the Vilayer to play around with seeing as it would be $40 down the drain should we not like it. That is why I have come here to get your opinions on this very important matter. Are there any server hosts who provide all the things we are looking for?

Dayz is an awesome game. You can ride around with friends, shoot others that threaten you, get those DMRs and Urals. I love playing DayZ with my friends. Some things just suck though, especially with the new patch 1.7.7 (I think those are the correct numbers?). I also hope everyone knows that I'm whiney and want to complain alll the time about how unfair life is (not really). These are just my thoughts. I know it looks long but if you take the time to read it, I'd be grateful :D. So here are my suggestions and flaws for DayZ. 1. Zombies I know zombies should be the main threat, (besides those darn bandits that follow you everywhere in their Ghillie suits) but after playing for a while with the new patch, I think they're too hard. Yes, I admit I find them difficult to defeat. They knock you down now, and they knock you down like every other hit! It should be a knock down every 6 hits you take or so in my opinion. Second, now they infect you? I understand the infection part happening, but it seems like I'm getting infected way too much. I would have it at like 10% chance of infection when being hit. I think they fixed them hitting you through walls at least so that's exciting. I don't mind the zigzagging too much, but I'd prefer it was more like a zombie amble than a full on ziggyzaggy sprint right up to you. So what do you guys think? Too hard? Perfect? 2. Vehicle Glitches There's nothing more frustrating when you've parked your car in the woods 1,000 meters from the busiest town, you roll in with your gun at the ready, get chased by a billion zombies, load up on food, guns, accessorices, car parts, dive back out and run back to your car, barely make it, and you load it into your car, and then- wait where did it go? There have been a few cars, that when loaded with items, disappear. I'm not sure of the nature of this glitch, but it SUCKS. There are also issues with ATV's jiggling on the grass all the time and rolling down hills and getting stuck in trees. I would suggest no more getting stuck in trees, on bridges, or the dreaded evergreens in those damn woods that destroy your car. Bridges especially, as well as railroad tracks. I think they fixed some of the glitches though like accidently falling out of vehicles. I know it's probably asking too much, but I didn't mind being invincible in a car while 30 zombies hit at your door either :). 3. Custom Skins and Characterization There have been many times where my friends and I have been on skype, and we see someone with a gun come barreling down the road." Is that you? Where? Wut? Huh, oh dude I found an M16! Where are you guys" everyone is confused, you're not sure if it's your friend or not. I wish there was a way to tell people apart. I have blue and white face paint and aviators. I know you can change your face and there are nametags but it would be cool to pick our your shirt and pants and hat and everything! Maybe I'm just saying that cause I'm a girl, but my friend Logan always talks about how he can't tell people apart. Sometimes we accidently shoot eachother. Just a nice perk to have? Maaaybee....make you able to have girl characters....like...100% of the timee. 4. Your Character is SO SLOWWWW!!! You've just entered the airfield on your ATV to the rescue. All of a sudden a guy jumps out in a Ghillie Suit and is ready to attack. Okay time to get off your ATV and fight him! Your guy will take....like 4 seconds to get out of a car. By then you're dead. You're holding a gun and want to whip our your axe for the zombies gathering around you. Wait 3 seconds for your guy to change his weapon. You're climbing up a ladder. Better let those zombies eat your legs while you take your time putting your weapon away so you can crawl up the ladder. I just wish it didn't take as loong. Again, just a suggestion. I don't mean to complain. I also wish you moved faster in water 5. Gun Zeroing Ever notice how it takes 3 shots to kill a zombie with certain guns? With the servers that have crosshairs to aim for when shooting, many guns are wrong. For example, when using an M16, aim higher than the head to get a headshot. It's not a huge problem, but I wish some guns were accurate. 6. Items (awesome items) Sometimes pain killers don't work. Sucks. I also don't understand the random useless items that are in the game. Whiskey bottles? Razors? TOILET PAPER? Unless we can wrap the zombies up and mummify them with the toilet paper, I'm not taking those. Again, not really a problem...but why the useless items? It is kind of amusing to joke about though. Hey buddy, you look like you could use a shave. Now what would be cool? Wielding razors and slicing things up like you're Sweeney Todd or Edward Scissorhands. Now that's boss. You know what else I want? SPRAY PAINT. On buildings, on cars! I'd like to decorate my car with purple spray paint please. Parachutes for helicopters. Hell yeah. Certain shoes that made you run faster. Extra armor like a helmet that prevents headshots (they can still shoot you in the face though). What else would be cool and kind of terrifying? Rope. Rope to tie people up with. Now that's scary. "Get the rope from the Ural!" OH GOD NOT ROPE!! Also you can add an extremely rare item. Locks. Locks can go on your tent, car, backpack, doors, I don't know. I don't know what you'd do with them or how they work. Just a small idea. What do you guys want? Some good items I love are the meat steaks that regenerate blood. GREAT idea if you're traveling alone and you have no blood bags. I agree with most of the items like binoculars, matches, hatchet, etc, except I wish you could have your flashlight and hatchet out at the ready at all times. Like combo your hatchet and large gun or something. I don't know. I like the map, Gps, watch, all that. I especially like the variety of guns you get...mwahahaha. I'd like hatchets to be a bit more powerful on people maybe (if you know where to aim). 7. Inventory Okay so the inventory thing completely confuses me sometimes. Firstly, I wish tents, cars, planes, whatever can hold items, would tell you how much space you have left. Like showed number of slots, or had a bigger menu that showed every square. I wish you could always open your backpack and see it, and it displayed the number of slots on everything. I also notice glitches with item placing. You set something down, it disappears. Uh okay I just lost my gun. I also wish that when you swapped bags, your stuff transferred over to the new bag. Not a big issue though on that. I wish the setup for inventory was more distinct and orderly. I like the idea of some items taking up more than one space though; it makes the game more difficult and realistic. Because who can fit 20 tires in that bag? That's right. If anyone has ever played minecraft, I wish it showed the inventory like on minecraft. Showing every space. Do you guys know what I mean? How do you think it should be set up? 8. Etc? I hear you can do this, but I've never been able to. If you are the passenger in a vehicle and there are no windows, you can shoot at people through the car while it's moving. Do some drive bys dude. I wish boats moved faster, for some reason the white ones go 10 mph? It would be SO COOL if there was an actual working train. That'd be some crazy train. *Queue Ozzy Osborne* Maybe a more solid clan system. Sign up for an actual clan, have a permanent chat channel and even get to design your own base? Buildings item? I don't know. Also, completely custom maps. Make a theme park. Make New York City. I don't know. So I included many things I like and don't like about DayZ. I want to know your guy's opinion on all of this. I hope you read it all or at least a section or two that corresponds to you. I know DayZ is a great game, it's crazy and fun and there are no rules. Be a rebel, be a hero. You choose. I like the realistic setting and the difficulty of living in a wilderness/military type area. I'd really like to know what YOU GUYS think of all this. What you think of my forum, of DayZ and it's ups and downs. Suggestions? I just hope people take the time to read this and respond. Thank you so much for reading this :) I wish you happy hunting (and a truck full of bacon!). :beans: :beans: :beans: B) I love you.

Where did these come from ? We don't include any ban files. Can we get some info about the server you playing on 3 dayz at 30 players no reports of dupe issues from tents or vehicles, What Beta? What Hive? Location to download Log files ?

They added a higher chance of infecting yourself when bloodbagging etc last patch, then increased the spawnrate of antibiotics. Now they add even MORE and they DECREASE the spawnrate!? You cant tell me this is logic in any way, this is just senseless. When i enter a big city like Cherno, Elektro, Stary or Berezino i expect some loot for the risk i take with all that zombies, attraction to other players and all that stuff. But what do i get? I dont get food in a supermarket, i dont get tools in all the houses and i dont even get MEDICAL SUPPLIES in a HOSPITAL!? What the fuck is this? Making a game harder is one thing, but making it unplayable is just a joke. Zombies should knock you out sometimes, thats true. It should be an surprise-effect, but the way it is now is only annoying, just stupid. You dont even have a chance to fight a group of zombies when tackled to the ground all time. Zombies do in fact still hit you through walls, windows and all other sorts of things. Try it with the church, 4 out of 5 times i was in there i got hit from outside. If there would be any option beside antibiotics (which are not spawning) to cure the infection, it would be a feature. As it is now, its just stupid and senseless, because there is like no way to fight it as written above, how can it be a feature to visit a big ass city and only find tincans, razor and one 2nd Rnd Slug!? as you can read in another thread, you currently only can pitch tents in giant, flat fields - whyever Tents and vehicles keep duping stuff like they did in some previous patches - if you get like a weapon out of a tent, it will be there, with the same amount of ammo etc like it was before (after the next server restart) must have been very bad testing when something basic, something usual in a game gets you kicked from the game - right? They changed the bloodbag, so they should have tested it ( lol, dont think so ) and it still throws such an error?!

Zombies hit you from 5-10ft away - bug Zombies knock you down like every 2nd hit - feature Zombies still glitch through objects - bug Zombies still hit you through walls -bug/feature I haven't seen this except at windows Zombies infect you far to often - feature Many Zombies are just bugged, standing around like frozen - bug nearly no antibiotics spawning - was this intentional? I would say it was a little sparse so bug all loot-spawns are messed up (nearly not usable loot) - feature? FPS-Drops - haven't seen it, actually runs better for me than previous Pitching Tents is buggy - not seen Making fireplaces is "laggy" / delayed - not seen Tents dupe stuff again - again or still? Vehicles dupe stuff again - again or still? Giving Bloodbags gets your kicked - bug fixed Crashsites often got no loot - bug? not sure Crashsite-Loot is spread like 50m around it - feature Crashsite zombies often spawn more then 50m away from it - probably bug

6 Hours of playin - found those bugs already! Zombies hit you from 5-10ft away Zombies knock you down like every 2nd hit Zombies still glitch through objects Zombies still hit you through walls Zombies infect you far to often Many Zombies are just bugged, standing around like frozen nearly no antibiotics spawning all loot-spawns are messed up (nearly not usable loot) FPS-Drops Pitching Tents is buggy Making fireplaces is "laggy" / delayed Tents dupe stuff again Vehicles dupe stuff again Giving Bloodbags gets your kicked Crashsites often got no loot Crashsite-Loot is spread like 50m around it Crashsite zombies often spawn more then 50m away from it DayZ is broken - congratz! Fix the bugs that appeared in really early versions of DayZ already (duping etc), get in the 1.7.6.1 Loottables, reduce the "knockdown"-chance and maybe fix the zombies after ~1 year!

Lets continue the list! Zombies hit you from 5-10ft away Zombies knock you down like every 2nd hit Zombies still glitch through objects Zombies still hit you through walls Zombies infect you far to often Many Zombies are just bugged, standing around like frozen nearly no antibiotics spawning all loot-spawns are messed up (nearly not usable loot) FPS-Drops Pitching Tents is buggy Making fireplaces is "laggy" / delayed Tents dupe stuff again Vehicles dupe stuff again Giving Bloodbags gets your kicked Crashsites often got no loot Crashsite-Loot is spread like 50m around it Crashsite zombies often spawn more then 50m away from it And these are only 6 hours playing. This is not a step forward, its 10 steps back!

honestly for 6 months with 7 people they have done a tremendous job! look at The WarZ its been out for 8 months now! and what has been done: they added more zombies and tried to stop the hacking (although it's still being hacked, they have no stronghold servers, was promoted as being available in beta, beta started December 2012, lack of content) and they have more people then DayZDev so what has the dev team done these last 6 months! bigger maps/ interior buildings /MMO structure to prevent hacking (needs testing but hopefully works) / revamped inventory (seems to work, sort of) / complete new zombie animations/ new weapons textures + new weapons! that's a lot of content that they created in about 6 months! give them some credit! imagine that in another 6 months we probably have vehicles/ simple stash hideouts and extra content that we didn't think off! Their main focus as by an interview today rocket said he wanted to focus on basebuilding! and let me be frank that is THE most requested feature for me ( more so then vehicles) so yea! I believe in them to deliver! even though I also see the glitches in the inventory that aren't working and the unsynchronised zombie animations and walking through walls/ plus insane speed inside/outside! BUT that requires mainly debugging and tweaking! nothing so far that I have seen can't be fixed or tweaked! the only thing I am worried about is the hacking! that will make or break this game! nothing else! so if the 6 months they spend on creating a MMO structure pays of then yea! we should be very very thankful that they have done this! instead of going the easy way of creating more vehicles and zombies like some of mods like origin where hacking is just as easy. so if people prefer to play the origin mod or any third party modification of the dayZ mod go ahead and get hacked to death! :P ( get it?) EDIT: excuse the typo's can't be bothered to fix them after rereading it! English is not my first language and unless you can flawlessly typ Dutch sentences you need to STFU :D

you are just having terrible luck! if you want vehicles try joining a server that has extras.

Ok Ninja let a Samurai have your jimmies rustled. Excuse me Arma III is released and its not even optimized yet either. Dean hall just reported about this in Reddit and said that it will be finished any day now. Dean also spoke about this in the interview, they are working on it. What do you mean by messing up? Explain please Try running upstairs without falling over, its not that easy you know, exspecially with all this stuff you are carrying. And the Character is actually walking as fast normal person would be running upstairs. As Dean said on his video they are propably goign to rewamp most of the buildings. This was also answered at one of the videos, Dean said they first used Arma 2 engine, then modified Real virtuality 3 engine of Take on Helicopters. Then they decided to make their own engine so they heavily modified the take on helicopters already modified arma 2 engine. This will be changed most likely untill release as they are just testing stuff. And the ugliness... They are most likely going to change the places of the box thingys and its just so easy to make the textures and fonts to look more cooler they are just not bothering with it as they are working on some more important stuff. And on DayZ mod those arent? You break your legs so easy or even kill yourself on the doors at the mod. Atleast you no longer break your bones or kill yourself on doors at Standalone. If they are awkard, a couple of hours of door opening should help even casual gamers to open the doors ;) Most private hives have copied the original Arma 2 buildings and just copy pasted them, if other Map mods like Taviana and Namalsk are not counted. and 95% of the buildings will have interiors, something that would never be possible on a stable private hive or mod. (It did not allow me to add anymore Quotes so i just put quotation marks after every sentence i did not type.) "Rocket has specifically said on several occasions that the graphics will NOT be improved upon, so please stop fapping your guts out at how "beautiful" things look, it's making you look silly." Even the little things, such as improved lighting and shadows make it look like a new game, and they have actually added new grass similiar to Arma 3 grass, and the trees are made so that on lower setting they wont look like paper trees, like in arma 2, so some improvements have been made. "No vehicles at release because they're reworking them... I'm sorry, what? Isn't that the point of the standalone?" Simple answer is that they cant add everything to alpha as every fan and community member is urging them to release the game. And no thats not the point of the standalone nor the alpha, the point of the alpha is for players to find the most malicious bugs and report them not actually play it as a full release. I'm also pretty sure they don't want to add vehicles at the release because they want to test how the servers can handle all the new stuff. Adding vehciles could cause the famous servers down for couple of days just after the release effect. "It's genuinely baffling me how this is exciting to anyone. It also seems that we've reverted to the old defence of "It's pre-alpha" blah blah blah. By all means, keep allowing it to blind you. I'd say the rest of us will have moved on by the time this turd comes out. To the rest of you still circle-jerking each other over it, have fun. I think I'll spend my money on a game that the developers have put in the effort to make it look like a current generation title." How many video game releases have you followed? They actually made their first notification that dayz is going to become a fully released standalone just 10 months ago and Arma 3 has been in development alot, alot longer. "I wouldn't be surprised if the SA was killed by the mod. I'd like to be proven wrong, but I doubt it somehow." How would that even be possible?

I'm looking for a bandit group (or two, or five) to settle down and call my newly established DayZ Origin server home. Since it's opening late last week, it's become carebear central with far less PVP than I care for (not for my lack of trying). We could really use some new faces to speed things up. The PVE crowd has had almost a week to get settled in, and now it's time to show them what DayZ is all about. Most of the regular's play evening/late night US, however there is usually a handful of players on all day. The server has really been met with excellent reception, partly due to my absolutely no bullshit motto in administrating the server. Here are some highlights about my server, which you can find at 69.162.87.122:3302 - Hosted in Dallas, TX on an SSD drive. Stable funding - this server isn't going anywhere and would be a great place to become established and call home. This is an official Origins server. - Regular reboots on a ~4.5 hour cycle. - 4H Day/Night cycle - Veteran Difficulty setting. Crosshairs, 3rd Person, and Death Messages enabled. - Absolutely no bullshit administration. Any abuse by admins or players can be discussed with me, the server owner. A regular message provides my email address. I take the enjoyment of my players seriously. - Three rules to player behavior, that's it: 1 - Absolutely no combat logging. If you log to avoid combat, there will be serious consequences. 2 - No Voice communications in side chat. They're buggy, disruptive, and at times they can even be abused to gain an advantage. 3 - No Whining/Spamming and/or Racism. Nobody wants to hear it. That's it. No garbage about destroying vehicles, hoarding items, or screwing with offline player's stuff. Anything goes. Hope to see you there!

also, no mention of any vehicle was listed on the first post, but are there any new vehicles, or has any vehicles been taken out again for cherno private hive?

I've been playing DayZ for almost a year now. I've logged well over 1,000 hours in-game. I've also been recognized as one of Game Informers Top 10 Villains of 2012. It's safe to say I play a ton of DayZ. When I first came to BMRF, I was looking for a server I can settle down into. When I first came to the server I gave them the same song & dance I always do. I've had a ton of fun playing on this server specifically. I've always hopped around preying on the innocent, but there is a certain challenge to the BMRF servers you will NEVER get on public servers. Because of the white-list, hackers who hoard all the vehicles or ruin the game are swiftly dealt with. I was on the edge of quitting DayZ not too long ago because of all the hackers. Got fed up with it & came to BMRF. I was skeptical about playing on a white-list server as every single WL I've played on, without fail, has had incredibly corrupt staff who abuse their power. From what I've seen so far, this definitely isn't the case here. I hopped into the irc for a few days to see how fast they respond to reports/etc & tried to push them to see if they actually take their rules serious and they do(Sadly a lot of admins don't enforce rules), and for that I've gained a good deal of respect for this server. I'm not sure what to think about donor perks. It seems more like a comfort & a LOT less pay-to-win, as you start out with a G17, water bottle, and a can of beans. A good way to skip the Cherno BS you have to go through every time you die, but I enjoy that, so why donate for it? I'd like to see more donor options. The ability to donate to use a custom skin maybe? I know there are a lot of skins out there and it's proven to be a successful model in League of Legends & other micro-transaction based games. Over the past year I've come to realize no matter what server you play on you're always going to have that one OP group of players. There's nothing server admins can ever do about that. It's the name of the game. You play in a 'territory'(Chernarus/Lingor/etc) and eventually one group is going to come out supreme. Once you realize this fact about DayZ you start to see the game for what it really is and can look for servers that try to keep things as pure as possible. After playing on almost 10 WL Servers now, I can safely say without a shadow of a doubt(after only a week no less) that BMRF.me is the definitive best WL server in every category Safest / Hacker Free Community Activity Attitude BMRF.me has all these qualities and should be recognized as the best WL server out there.

Hello. Heres some info I'd like to give you. I think vanilla = the normal dayz hive mod. DayZ origins is a version of the mod. You can download all of these on something like DayZ commander. To get the hero skin, you need to be friendly by bandaging people, giving them blood transfusions, etc. Its a lot harder to get then the simple bandit skin, but its pretty cool and it lowers the possibility of you getting shot on sight. As for building vehicles, thats dayz origin only.

Me and my friends recently got DayZ and we're very interested in the survival/roleplay part of the game. We've tried all these " 600+ vehicles, self bloodbag" etc etc and found them to defeat the purpose of the day z mod. We would like a server where there is some PVP but more so a survival element. An English speaking server would be preferable. All answers are greatly appreciated.

Im here to advertise my favorite taviana server Joeszombieshack! this server rules it has tons of custom scripts plus loads of vehicle spawns and base building. A few of the scipts include -bandit sarge AI -take parts out of vehicles -multiple skins for camo and soldier clothing and two diffrent ghillie suits. -many more guns -diffrent types of vehicles -abandoned military outposts "rest stops" some of the vehicles are great like the UAZ with a .50 cal on top or a vodnick medical armored truck. Me and a pal found a fuel ural once. IP: 97.101.92.100:2302 join me and survive taviana!

We tried with multiple people on multiple vehicles, even getting in and out. Still no refuel option

Zombies spawn inside buildings and stay in there now, it's really annoying. Also where are vehicles? I haven't seen one on a public server in months.
