Hey, I would love to see some of your guy's opinions on having DayZ and ACE combined into a mod. It has been done before, but it has proven buggy. We believe we can perfect this, as we have an extremely good team that could work on it, if it seemed to be a popular idea. Some of the features it could include are: New weapons from ACE and ACEX New vehicles from other mods that have been added New items, such as cable ties, balaclava's, safety goggles, gas masks. New Lethal grenades and traps such as Bouncing Betty's, land mines, phosphorous grenades, gas grenades (which you can be saved by with a gas mask), flash bangs, claymores and many more. ACE features such as a new flight mechanic, fast roping out of choppers, towing, realistic sniping, and new range finders which require batteries. Fully customized map, including FOB's and other aesthetics. This is just a post to see whether this will pay off, and is not an advertisement. I would really love to see your opinions. And please share your ideas as well. Thanks Conor

*facepalm* You wouldn't actually spend 16 gold bars on 120 Stanag clips. It was an example. Look... my first experience with Epoch was thus: I had spawned near Electro and it wasn't terribly busy on the server so I went for it. I hit the hospital, corner store, school, church, and both firehalls. I came away with an AK Kobra and a regular AK for the highlights. I also had decent sized backpack Makrov, and assorted tools. I had antibiotics, a blood bag in case a friend joined me, bunch of painkillers and a single morphine. With the food and drink I hit a few other things and started making my way towards the Trader city Klen. Fill in assorted close calls and mishaps and I had used up the morphine and was down to about 10 shots for the AK. I was at the point where I was clearing zombies with a machete and both guns were in my backpack. I was hacking my way through a couple zombies to check the deerstand near Black Mountain when a zombie broke my leg for the second time that night. I managed to kill him and loot the deerstand but then had to crawl all the way to Klen. I was down to Mystery can of food ate it and was promptly infected. So I was crawling, in the dim light of twilight, infected and cold and just hoping I would get to the traders in time. I managed to make it, had to trade the AK for antibiotics, traded in some extra food for a spare mag for the Kobra. Dumped the Lee Enfield rounds I had for a hatchet which I was missing. Finally I went out, found an animal and killed it and got a bit of blood back. I then vacated the area. Later on I came back and traded some mags for other mags and some medical supplies. That kinda hooked me. On some Epoch servers it is fairly easy to make money. On others not so much. This is like it being easy to find NVGs on a server with extra barracks or customer loot tables compared to Vanilla. On the servers I like to play on vehicles are not EVERYWHERE and so you don't make a ton of money very quickly but you can find a Stanag mag and trade it away for an AK mag or the antibiotics you need. Edit: I almost forgot to mention. Base building is a pretty large money and time sink. You might be able to buy Stanag rounds or an ATV but you will need them because you will want to loot Cinder Blocks to build a base. One wall section takes 2 mortal buckets and 7 cinderblock piles and that is a hell of a lot of weight. So your money ends up being saved up for a vehicle and then things like Plot Poles so people can't just build over your wall or remove your built items, and such.

Hey there guys, So, you're looking for a new server to play on? Well we have the thing for you! We've just finished our work on our server for an official launch, we've been working on it some time and we're hoping it's something a bit more unique than the other 99% of Epoch servers. We're set on creating an immersive and challenging, yet fun and thrilling experience. Almost everything on our server has been customized, from our loot tables to rates, ratios, animal spawns, buildings bases vehicle spawns etc. etc. Whenever we make a change our idea is that it will both increase the gameplay value, and fit in with the DayZ story too. We look forward to continuing to update and progress the server, and hope that you'll join us for the ride. We've got big plans for it, new areas, new 100% unique scripts and more reworks of existing areas. Server IP: 94.23.44.77:2322 TS3 Ip: seti.servegame.org:9988 (Don't forget :9988!)

Grand Reopening on DayZ Epoch! Server IP/Port: 128.65.215.161:2302 Early Adopters will get goodies such as Special Weapons, Building Supplies, Vehicles or Gold! Intro Cutscene: https://t.co/dN5QK6z1GE Current Server Picture:

I'll be hosting a Convoy event tonight on the server around 2 PM PST. Any and all will be welcome. We will have convoy of vehicles with keys on the drivers (For anyone to claim). The vehicles will be full of supplies, building materials and so on. As for the Urals: They will be driving from one of the major ports in Chernaurus. (Cherno, Electro, Berezino). They are not restricted from their starting locations. One can come from Electro, while another is coming from Berezino. Their destinations can be one of the major airfields on the map. They are restricted to using main roads on the Chernaurus map. (With the obvious exception of going offroad to avoid roadblocks)

You can have multiples. I have an Epoch Server without self blood bag and 1000+ vehicles and such for when we want something to do. We are constructing a base there and the mod really fits my loot whore friend's style of play where he gathers everything. I play Vanilla just because it is fun and difficult. I also play Origins alone because I wanted to try a map I hadn't played on so when no one else is logged on I will sometimes wander over to there and just run around exploring.

Agreed. I don't hate "higher vehicle" servers I hate servers edited by people who don't know how (or don't want to) make vehicles spawn broken and in need of repair I wouldn't even mind if a FEW worked on spawn. heck not every vehicle in you neighborhhod would spontaneously break down if everyone were gone for a few months now would it? But these guys who are just trying to steal impatient immature players from one another to whore donations with "ZOMG 5000 Vehicles!" "Attack helis!" "SPAWN WITH A FRIGGEN TANK!" its all crap and ruins the challenge of suriving when you can be a boss within 15 mins of spawn with everything you need. and that brings up another thing- its not just the Vehicles it all the other crap those servers typically have Like donors spawn with DMR, etc. it all leads to an environment where theres no incentive to actually play smart and careful at all.

quality > quantity. That really was me deciding reason in leaving my last community. I (and the sort of players I enjoy playing WITH) prefer a Hard and brutal challenging experience not a 24/7 herp de derp easy mode. Any time I go to a server and see things like "XXXX helicopters" "500 CARS" "Start with *insert engame weaponry here*" I don't even connect. Just last night a friend of mine (who I know IRL) asked me to join them on a server I punched in the IP in the browser to find "Over 500 Vehicles + Attack choppers and Donor packs!" I made that person come play official hive with me instead. they just LOST a player because of that stupid money grab ;) and that makes me happy.

You're quite welcoem to check out our DayZcraft server (link in signature). it's an Epoch survival/hardcore server, mostly PvE (because the current levels of population) but there are at least two bandit groups active on the server among our 6 or 7 dedicated groups active. You start with just 1 bandage, there are a few Points of interest added to the map but no stupid map updates like 20 barracks in cherno, you need to really search for loot! No choppers spawn randomly, any choppers you find are what other players have either bought or stolen - even then they are very rare as they are very expensive! Standard vehicles do spawn (about 200 scattered about the map) but usually need repairs and theyre scattered about - you dont fall over them on every street! There's only a few decent scripts such as some AI bandits/Survivors spawning occasionally in hot spots about the map, towing/cargo and . Nothing like auto refuel scripts etc. No crosshairs enabled, there are increased zombie numbers (so they swarm and are genuinely a threat!) and I'm the only administrator that has access to full admin tools but there re a few members who have rcon moderation rights (to kick/ban) but, so far we've not had many issues with hackers. Prices for goods are better balanced on our server too with stuff like Night vision available (in limited numbers) but costing a lot of Gold! Basically anything that makes surviving easier costs a lot of resources and takes time - so no just buying great gear after 10 mins of playing! Many of the very best kit cant be bought too (such as Large gun bags), they only spawn and need to be scavenged! The traders on our server serve mostly to sell scavenged gear and to provide some more building supplies for building/fortifying your stonghold. Its a good server and plays out well. You might also want to check out the Moustache Gaming servers which are bit more PvP, have a better population and really well administrated. Good luck fidning a server though

Chaos, you sound like someone who has a taste for the 'narrative of DayZ'. I'm part of a small but diverse group that is playing DayZ Origins, which is a mod that I think will help you transition into regular DayZ quite well. Here are some things about it: There is house building, so you can store stuff you need for later.We play a mix of Bandits and Heroes. The Humanity system in Origins is really simple and, as you get better, you get some pretty cool skins.We have plenty of guns and are always looting barracks/airfields for more.Expect to go out on repetive loot runs. But unlike other DayZ mods, you get to store your well-earned rewards in a secure place.There is a vehicle system that will make it easier for you to learn how to fix vehicles, as well as fly/drive them. You'll get more hands on experience with driving/repairing vehicles in 1-2 weeks of Origins than you will with 1-3 months of regular DayZ (considering that you are a beginner).It becomes more PVP-MMO like. Think of it as a Fallout 3+DayZ+WoW mixture. You're surviving but you have a small crew of companions+a base+storage to depend on. This results in a kind of narrative feel to Origins because not only are you always trying to survive, you're also trying to leave a 'legacy'. It's tribe oriented...not unlike what our ancestors used to do....but with guns and zombies (and mutants and AI Mercs and super zombies). In the end, it allows for more interaction with random players and clans. It forces you to do things you won't be too proud of, such as shooting innocent people who get too close to your rare gear, and it forces you to question your surroundings. Just because some group is a hero clan doesn't mean they won't shoot you, another hero, even if you do yell "friendly" at them and do you do the same in their shoes? Or just because one group is friendly now doesn't mean they won't turn their backs on you, do you swith allies to another group or continue? Those are just some of the ethical/moral dilemmas you'll encounter (moreso than regular DayZ) as you play. In the end, I really think you'll become a better player if you stick with us. That way, if you do decide to play regular DayZ as well, you will not only have more experience with the simple mechanics, but you'll be more familiar and efficient. It's the usual DayZ experience but at a much faster, movie-like pace. PM me if you're interested and I'll send you the TeamSpeak info.

so far dayzero podagorsk is the best for hardcore survival in my opinion. you start with a bandage, small backpack, and some painkillers. loot and and vehicles are extremely rare. the only 2 chat channels that you can access are direct and vehicle. the only downside is without a compass you have to be very careful you don't drift to far north because for whatever reason they left the northern half of the map empty besides an army base near the northern edge of the map. my first time playing I did this and wasted at least 4 hours before making it back. there are army bases but if you look at the loot chart on the website there is extremely low chance that any military grade weapons spawning. also every weapon is either tweaked or replaced along with many new guns being added. and many new clothing items are added as well.

Why all the love for Epoch anyway? I think it's just vanilla with some money system involved for faster vehicles...

It's better than WarZ in every aspect. There are still hackers, but they have moved elsewhere as the mod lost it's initial hype. The vanilla day/night cycle is a 24 hour cycle (just like real life) Epoch is DayZ, but it has a great base building, new vehicles, etc. It's really fun, but it also really destroys the traditional vanilla feel. Buy ArmA (not DayZ), and enjoy arma in itself, along with DayZ.

For me it has to be Over watch. I love all the loot, there's so much to collect. Then there's the great variety of weapons and vehicles, and on top of all that there are usually crowds of AI to tackle too. It's not just the baddie bandit AI, I also love the friendly AI. I end up squealing about how cute they are when they rush over and get in my helicopter or car. Sometimes they won't get out and I have to fly around with them. A friend of mine almost had his heli pinched by an AI. He jumped in the heli and they kidnapped him, driving around with him for about half an hour. I'm amazed they didn't crash and kill him. They're quite good at that. :huh:

Hello, Bean King! I'm experiencing several problems; are these easy fixes or would I need to submit a ticket? (1) When I move a player on the map from the Control Panel, I receive the pop-up saying "Survivor was moved", but then after about 3-4 seconds, the map shows them back where they were before. In-game, the player has not moved at all. (2) The command to Heal Player, once activated, generates a pop-up which reads "Survivor healed and infection removed. Refreshing players", but nothing happened and the player remains in his same condition. (3) Vehicles added into the map with the RCLICK+Add Vehicle option do not immediately appear on the map. (4) While I initially set up my account selecting Lingor Island as the map, I later decided to try Fallujah instead. Unfortunately, each time I tried to connect I was stuck at "Waiting for host" until finally I was kicked because "BattleEye Not Responding". I didn't have this problem with Lingor (and yes, I have installed the Fallujah mod through DayZ Commander, just as I did with Lingor, which worked). (5) Finally, where can I go to in order to verify which email address I used to sign up for your service? I recall various options when I set up my account, but none of these asked for an email address (if one did, I apologize that I do not recall it). If I have to send you a ticket, I want to be sure it comes from an email address that you will recognize. Regards,

Having several hundred cars on 225 km²? Maybe. All repaired like they usually are on those server? Definitely not. Autorefuel and unlimited fuel? Definitely nein. It's not the fact that there are that many vehicles, it's the fact that those servers usually have them all fully repaired and fully fueled with all the jazz that doesn't even require you to have a brain to keep it running.

Vanilla. Unless it's 800 vehicles. Like your Epoch server.

The joke is on you. There won't be any vehicles in the initial release.

Plus Epoch adds tons of military vehicles such as humvees with M2s, grenade launchers, etc. Also choppers like Blachawks and such. I think that since most people pvp now in DayZ so much, these vehicles make for more fun and exciting PVP. Along with everything you stated, I imagine why that is why Epoch has become so popular.

1. Safe Zones are not part of Epoch 2. PVP areas? What area isn't PVP? No place is safe in Epoch. 3. Buying items means you have to have something to trade in. Sure you could eventually get some NVGs but you might have to hump a bunch of guns or other items to a trader which is a high traffic area and then sit there and slowly trade them in, exchange the metals to get the gold and then finally buy them. Meanwhile you have to lug around copper, silver, and gold in your backpack taking up space until you have enough. It's kinda a pain to trade. 4.Permanent Item Storage is EXPENSIVE. To buy a Safe is 120 gold bars. 120 AKs, 60 DMRs/M4s/M16s, or 3600 Lee Enfields. Everything else is semi secure but can be broken into or destroyed. 5. Bots are not part of Epoch. I really hate when people start bitching about things that are NOT part of the mod as a reason to hate the mod. This is like saying you hate Vanilla DayZ because of Self Blood Bags, 1000+ vehicles, and Starting kits including DMRs.

1) Chernarus is a small populated área you can see because of the density of buildings on whole área. Its very likely to have old broken cars and ONE OR ANOTHER brand new car. You will mostly find tractors, old trucks (luckly working) or in goverment buildings black sedans (russian goverment and post soviet countries use this color to his vehicles.) Now military isnt much diferent, the vehicles presented so far satisfies any need. its only like said in other posts. 2) They could break the glass but not if you are in movement you just trample them all. 3) Because the car is old dont mean his glasses must be broken, in fact one of the parts who would resist better to time is the glasses. (if something dont fall in the glass.) 4)vehicle damage is fine, aim well shoot on tires or egine and... boom.... 5) I agree with car parts but if will add more car parts i want to be able to fortify my car with new ones. 6) Physics isnt from ArmA2 vanilla it will be a new one. 7) OK. 8) I want this since the first ofp dont know what is the big deal to make it happen. 9) Agreed 10) already writen in 6.
