I've always supported in increase on the number of vehicles for exactly this reason (They would be a lot more widespread) but in bad condition. The only thing that I couldn't work out was a nice balance to where the fuel should be found - it should be accessible but rare so places like military spawns couldn't be the only place. I like the idea of siphoning fuel from multiple vehicles just to have enough to run your car from A to B but that obviously isn't a choice that would stand on it's own, there would have to be a steady source to obtain fuel. I'd like to see an emphasis on the scavenging aspect of DayZ, especially when it comes to vehicles - it should be rare to find lots of working parts sitting around and there should be a lot more emphasis on salvaging from other vehicles.

We can argue all we like about if DayZ is a 'sandbox', 'MMORPG' or a 'survival simulator' or even a type of 'survival horror' but I think after all this time it has become pretty clear that players need something to work towards or at least more depth which is why these suggestions keep coming up. People mention RPG like elements (passive 'abilities' or traits like being immune because of vaccination and/or 'micro skills' like getting a bit better at first aid/mechanics/building fires/gutting) because the initial draw for the game, the wonderment of something new and the fairly unique social interaction stage of the mod has finished. The feeling I get is that many people got bored of asking if another player was 'friendly' and playing for a while, only to get betrayed. The reason people got bored is because it happened repeatedly. This wouldn't happen repeatedly in real life because one bad betrayal would probably cause your death. People also talk about an 'end game'. I think this is okay, but Rocket and his team will have to be very very clever and careful about how they implement any such features. Games like GTA, Saints Row, Far Cry, Crackdown etc all have 'sandbox' elements to them, but there are more structured missions and even a main story for when you want them. Anything like this in DayZ SA would have to be incredibly subtle but I think it is the reason people keep on saying 'wouldn't it be cool if the map/radio lead you to X crash-site or bunker' and the reason I keep on mentioning the 'lore' (back story) in my posts is because people want a detailed word with more things to DO even if they are only vaguely hinted at and not compulsory. This must be what drives people to mod or ask for base building and trading options in the game. I haven't put many hours into the game but things I still 'do' include collecting fire/hunting gear, getting a better gun, visiting deer stands, repairing vehicles and a bit of random PVP. I think what we have to remember here is that yes, DayZ is a type of simulator but also a game and it is meant to be fun. I don't think we should get quite as worked up as we do when people turn to PVP, clan wars and helicopter battles. All that looks pretty fun to me. We need to stop answering posts like this with 'NO' or 'not realistic' because DayZ isn't in the slightest bit realistic. I'm pretty confident that if Rocket and co implemented a few 'micro skills' running in the background, the diseases he mentioned, some interesting story items and minor 'events' in the SA we'd all find it pretty interesting and engaging. I'm sure 99% of players, including myself, don't want to be able to get to 'level 100' and then beat the 'uber-zombies' and see the credits roll, but I would like a richer gaming experience. Balance is key, we've got pretty far already on user generated gameplay, ('This is DayZ. This is your story.') and I think the evidence of that (Clan websites, YouTube vids) speaks volumes for how much effort people have put in, but I hope the developers give the SA a little more structure and content. Time will tell.

That is really what it's all about. They are used to being constantly pandered to, they are used to the instant-gratification, they don't want to put effort in to getting gear. I've tried once or twice to play on one of the silly 500+ Vehicles, Start with M4 yadda yadda servers just to see what all the fuss was about. I asked some of the players (Pretty much all of them younger) WHY they played on a server like this, the answer was pretty much unanimous in that they thought having to go look for guns took too long and it was too hard without vehicles. They are used to being in control and the game trying to make it easier for them by giving them hints and such, a lot of them just don't really know HOW to take a game that constantly tries to fuck them over - they don't understand WHY you want to play a game that's hard. A lot of players play it for the challenge but unfortunately since it got really big on Steam there are also a lot of players that bought it because it was the 'big' game and are trying ever so hard to force DayZ to meet the silly expectations that they have for every other game rather than buying DayZ for that which made it popular in the first place - it's unforgiving. I'm 21 years-old, I'm not exactly old by any stretch of the imagination and I started playing games when I was pretty young, 8 or 9 maybe at most - I could tell you for a fact though that if I were to have grown up now, I'd be the exact same - they grow up learning that you can be a total dick, ruin the experience for other players and there are no repercussions - I wasn't exactly immature but I certainly shouldn't have been thrown into a chat with other players at that age. The only thing that can really change this is the Standalone - if it forces them to play DayZ rather than the poor excuse for a game they are playing they will be forced to change their few or forced to find another game. It's not that I'm trying to force people to play the way I like to play, it's that if they are playing the same game as me, they should be on equal grounds to me - not giving themselves an advantage at every opportunity - people WILL take the easy route if the ability is given to them.

Hey guys, Am Namindu, I currently run the server "US 16140 Dayz Epoch". We are some what new, I have not hosted a public server (but have private ones). My two other admins, have both ran servers in the past and have maxed them out (50/50) and they handle with populating the server. Server Information - IP: 70.36.96.106:6302 - Mod: Dayz Epoch [v1.0.2.4] - Time Zone: [uTC] -8 Staff Namindu - Owner and Founder, Head Scripter SnH Firefighter - Secondary Admin, Game Operations Kushti - Admin, Server Adviser Unites - Admin, Secondary Server Adviser Server Features/Scripts - Custom Debug Monitor - Self Bloodbag - Fast Rope - Auto Refuel - Towing/Lifting - Remove Clothes from Dead Bodys - Nameplates (5m's) - Full Moon Night's - Safe Traders/Trade Post - Custom Mapping - Animated Helicopter/C130J Crashes - +500 Vehicles/Aircrafts/Boats - More Loot - More Heilcrashs We like to keep things realistic, so if you have a suggestion we will thing about it. Some times we will add unrealistic scripts, like Auto Refuel, only if the majority wants it. Server Rules 1. No Hacking or Exploiting. 2. No Killing players in Trade Zones or as they exit Trade Zones. 3. Do not damage player made bases, but are raid able. 4. Respect all admins and players. Shit talk that gets out of hand will be dealt with. We like to keep the rules to a minimal, so everyone can experience the thrill of dayz. **I would also like to explain rule #3. You can raid bases, but in a way that it will not damage it. For example you find a base and camp outside with a sniper pointed at the door. The moment they open it, you shot. You can then enter cause they left the door open.** Default Loadout - 4 Bandages - 1 Hand Road Flare [Comes in 10] - 1 ItemPainkiller - 1 Baked Beans (Food) - 1 Coke (Drink) - 1 Map - 1 Fashlight - 1 Hatchet - 1 Compass - 1 Assault Bag (Backpack) Donator Perks - $10/mo Custom loadouts (We can work out a good loadout of your choices) - $25 Base Building Kit (We give you a box with a certain amount of building supply's (Walls, Doors, Wire Fencing, Etc) so you can build your base) - $5-10 A Vehicle/Aircraft/Boat of your choosing that can be found in the server. (Will be given a key. But no special rights to it, if it gets stolen or jacked, no refund or action giving. If it is lost or destroyed due to hacker or bug of the script. You will receive it back faster then regular players) **Some people find this as a "Pay to Win" felling. When it is not. It cost me money to keep the server up for everyone. So when people donate it helps me cover the cost and keeps the server up for the rest of the players. If a person is killed and they donated for that gear, its up for grabs. Its basically, you start of with more things then others.** We have more then 20 regular players! Signed, Namindu Owner and Founder of US 16140 Dayz Epoch

1: Loot is much harder to find. The next update we will allow the server admins to change the bias to suit their player needs. 2: Zombies loot was changed to have a lower chance to drop items. 3: Animals never changed you always spawn 6. 4: All default vehicles have always spawned broke no idea why you thought other wise. No matter what gets done not everyone will be happy.

A brand new public DayZ Epoch server has just been made and we aim to make it the best DayZ Epoch experience for the players. Server Name: DayZEpoch Chernarus - (1.0.2.4/103718) [REGULAR][GMT+6] Private Hive -300+ VEHICLES - MILITARY VEHICLE SPAWNS - IMPROVED LOOT - HOSTED BY ANJLETSPLAY | DayZ.ST IP Address: 192.31.185.218:3153 (50 slots) Features: -300+ Vehicles -Military Vehicle Spawns -Tons of fresh loot -Active Admins -Fresh Cars and Choppers lying around -Improved Loot -Custom Loadout Possible Planned Features: -AI -Custom AI Missions -Auto Refuel -Take Clothes -Self-Bloodbag -Towing Clans Are Welcome! PM me with your clan and number of members and receive joining benefits! (Gold, Loadouts, Vehicles, etc.)

YES MORE MAPS!! So many ways they could be introduced. You could travel off the roads to maps that aren't islands, then out to sea to access maps that are. For the ocen scenario id have a few buoys out in the sea say 4 if you have 4 extra maps. You would have to sail/fly to the buoy, then scroll on an addaction menu (like the ones used to repair vehicles) and there would be an action to "follow buoys to Taviana" or w/e island it is. Loadscreen hides the server swap, and the hive saves ya gear. Vehicles could be more problematic to move between maps, but maybe with a script you could delete the veh your leaving in from the Chernarus map, then spawn a fresh one in the new server as you join.

We have a small gaming community that we are looking to grow, we have active admins, and support clan play. Our Epoch Server will have alot of custom content added in as we test new weapons/vehicles for balance issues, increased vehicle spawns, custom locations, custom traders, and quite possibly custom loot tables in the future. Our admins are very active and the server is protected by TSW antihack system, allowing us to see and stop hacker activity while also utilizing large banlists provided by multiple communities. Come join us at (74.119.147.154:2302) Hosted by HFBservers.com (Now with Lift/Towing!!!) The TeamSpeak as well as the servers we run are in my signature. Website http://www.ballzahurtin.com/

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.

Part of me disagrees. Sure 'making a name' or feeling good about killing a player in game may be weird to you, and even to me, but if this guy wants to play like that then that's fine and his decision. I hope SA even in the early stages has features which set it apart from the Mod. Because after playing the Mod for a while once people have learnt how to handle the zoms, survive and repair vehicles PVP is the next logical step for many. I have a feeling that minor tweaks and graphics aside this feeling may be carried over to SA quicker than we would like with people killing on sight in the early days of the alpha. I can't shake that feeling and hope that the SA is exciting enough and has enough in it to encourage us to work together.
