The US server is a fantastic experience. Been playing on it for 4 months and have NEVER died to a hacker. Admins are on all day and even though they have access to the map tool...they obviously don't abuse it because we have tents and vehicles that are rarely looted/stolen. The skill level is high. People aren't camping bambis in Cherno...they are playing intelligent Dayz. The server also has dynamic heli crashes, so there isn't the server restart loot grab effect...no matter where you are on the map, you have a decent chance of seeing a chopper crash around you (a BLAST if if you haven't seen it before) and getting some nice gear. Gear isn't rare, so it's relatively quick to recover from a death...it doesn't ruin a week of hard work to get sniped. A few hours and you are back in the fight and ready for REVENGE. The admins also throw some extremely cool custom events for community members...motorcycle races, escort the VIP, admins abducted, etc. I'm sure there are some nice communities out there, but BB is so much fun. Come check it out.

DUE TO IRRECONCILIABLE ISSUES BETWEEN SERVER OWNERS, HEAD ADMINS AND THE GENERAL PUBLIC, BALOTA BUDDIES NO LONGER OFFERS US OR EU SERVERS. ZABN DOES NOT APOLOGISE FOR THIS INCONVENIENCE, OTHERS DO. We are a community made by gamers for gamers, focusing on providing a competitive, fun, combat logger and hacker free environment. Balota Buddies hosts private servers in Australia, The United States and the EU with a mix of Origins, Chernarus and Namalsk plus extra maps hosted at random on one of our boxes. We operate all of our servers ourselves on dedicated boxes and are committed to providing a hacker free, lag and desync free(ish) arena for people to have fun in. The server moderators and admins are trusted and committed to providing a fair environment with no admin abuse and they do this job very well in addition to monitoring the logs and banning every filthy hacker they encounter! Please come on down and try our public servers or get whitelisted and jump straight into the mix! http://balotabuddies.net Currently Hosted Servers: All servers are on four hourly restart timers. Australia: Chernarus Public Weapons + (Custom Anti Hack, Extra Barracks, PVP Mayhem with zombies) Namalsk Public (Extra Vehicles, Extra Weapons, face the elements if you dare, but the elements carry Ak74s) Origins Public (Soon to be whitelisted, loot that works!) Chernarus Whitelisted (Custom airfield buildings, lots of dynamic squad combat) Chernarus Factions (A server designed for specific squad combat in a DayZ environment, details are on page 6 United States: Chernarus Whitelisted (Very dynamic server, PVP and friendliness abound) Has gone public! See page 7 for details. Chernarus Factions (In Re-Development with Custom Mod) Utes PVP (custom gear spawns, plenty of wild features) European Union: Chernarus Whitelisted (Vanilla DayZ) Origins Public Custom Scripts: Balota Buddies run a series of custom scripts on our servers to enhance immersion and quality of gameplay, these are. Steal Skin: Damn, that guy had a ghillie, guess I better just TAKE IT FROM HIS COLD DEAD HANDS! Vehicle Scavenge: Steal full repaired parts off other vehicles and add them to yours? Ever feel like crippling someone's hidden car in the woods without gunfire? NOW YOU CAN! Steal that engine. Fast Rope: Want to get guys on to a hard to access roof without awkwardly landing a helicopter? Want to drop some dudes off without being exposed on the ground, just quickly hover at 25 meters altitude and let them acquire some sexual rope burn! Halo Jumping: Now you can pull the parachute whenever you feel like it, just don't do it too late! Dynamic Helicopter Crashes: Hear that? Is that a helo?!!! CHASE IT. Every 15-20 minutes a random Mi-17/Huey will spawn and gravitate towards the area of players (within several large grids) before suddenly exploding and crashing into the ground full of loot and zombies! Or, for the more daring, they can be brought down with a single shot so get your Makarovs ready! Care Packages!: Some friendly government has airdropped in crates just packed full of goodies! Some have food, others equipment, repair parts, ammunition and medical supplies! Night Time Fog! (WIP): Although dealing with some frame issues at the moment, soon the servers will have dynamic (different time every day) night cycles with the ground fog from Breaking Point. Variety of Custom Buildings and Loot Tables: Some new barracks added to spice up the NEAF, some more at NWAF (to make it even more dangerous) and a few choice weapons that have been added in for fun. JSRS Jarhead's Sound Redeployment System: JSRS server key is active so if you have it then you can reap the benefits and the soggy underwear! Full details can be found here and for installation instructions here. The JSRS mod brings an entire new dynamic to Arma2 and DayZ in particular; the whizzing and cracking of rounds flying past or even that of cars driving and footsteps changing over terrain. Experience the terror of an LMG indoors. Night Cycle Night time cycles for 2-4 hours with full moon (on and off, in constant development) Street-lights: Shame it's getting so dark, good thing the power grid hasn't been extensively damaged yet and the street lights turn on. Siphon Fuel: Evolution/God/The Flying Spaghetti Monster gave you lips for a reason! Get that hose and mouth working and siphon all the fuel out of those cars and into your trusty Jerry. Abandon a car hidden somewhere and keep the fuel on you, or screw some poor sap over who didn't hide his UAZ well enough. Crafting: Sick of finding mountains of trash loot? Well here is your chance, now you can assemble together needed vehicle parts by smelting down pieces of scrap! You might need to fill up that Coyote Backpack with scraps instead of guns, choose wisely! Vehicle Towing: Vehicles can tow other small vehicles, helicopters can now tow small vehicles too.

AGREED! The explosion stuff is so Hollywood. Crashes should result in broken vehicles, injury, and death - but not explosions.

It really is one of the design decisions BI made in Arma 2 I never understood. There are numerous TV shows out there that tested how and when gasoline would explode. And shooting with any caliber under 50 won't do it, not even tracers. The only way a car could really burn out would be if there was a gas leak in the engine compartment, or if you where driving on shot out tires with sparks flying everywhere. I don't like getting killed in a burning car because I accidentally drove over a rock or into a street light. I think it is a simple fix for dayz to only allow vehicles to burn out if the engine was critically hit in a lucky place while it was running. In any other cases such as when the hull would get busted the car should just break down without any flames.

well it can level a forest so i would think so. you can flatten a tent with a bicycle so why not a house with a tanker. well look at the super rare rocket launcher in dayz. it was seen as useless cause it was high piercing instead of high explosive. took up so much room but only effective on vehicles. sorry for the chatter but you were going for a good and seemingly fair way to demolish it.

The hour is approaching! Just a few reminders: Skalisty Island is under martial law. No one is allowed on the island with a primary weapon drawn or they will be treated as hostile. A no fly zone is also in effect for the immediate territory around Skalisty Island as well. Join our teams peak for guaranteed FREE GUNS! (fadetb.typefrag.com:8690) When you arrive on the island place all the loot you want into your inventory and backpack but again, do not equip a primary weapon! Can not stress that enough. With the upcoming patch this kind of gear will be exponentially more difficult to find so get it now while its free! Vehicles will be made available to early arrivals as well so dont miss out on a fresh start on a new server.

That's not being pessimistic, just irrational. Vehicles are a very key asset to DayZ, and to remove them completely for even the full release would be bad. Although I would not have a problem with waiting until they are in a more completed state so they are much better to drive. There wouldn't really be thousands of cars wrecked along the streets. Maybe quite a lot, but Chernarus is a poorer region and also not very highly populated; most of the vehicles would be in the towns and that wouldn't be more than even a couple hundred for somewhere like Cherno or Elektro, and maybe the odd pickup/tractor for a farm.

I doubt that vehicles will be included at all... I know that they are going to be missing in the initial release because they are being remade (at least that's what I've heard) and then patched in later... But I don't think that's going to happen. The devs will probably be like: "Hey, you had no vehicles for five months now! It isn't that bad, eh? You already got used to having no vehicles, so we won't include them at all." Nothing against you devs, but I'm just pessimistic. However, IF they get added again (which I hope) the Idea of having more vehicles is very cool- I mean, most of you know those wallpapers of post-apocalyptic New York with thousands of wrecked cars on the streets. It would be awesome to be able to repair more of these. However, I'm not entirely sure whether or not it would be a good idea. I personally very rarely find car parts- and it would be impossible to fit everything to repair a car into a single backpack- expecially if they get even harder to repair.

Hiya, I’m looking for a server with some rules and/or specific features, I found some, but I want to be sure that I will do the right choice. - Pvp server with one or more no-pvp area (or no-pvp server with one or more pvp area). - AI bandits/survivor/hero (somewhere on the map at least) - Something concerning the players base/camp (like no base destroying, no base stealing or even no vehicles hoarding). - Something concerning the car/heli amount on the server (at least some heli siting at the airfields for example). Chernarus tend to be better in is ‘near vanilla’ version and Namalsk is too small to have a no-pvp section and a little something concerning the player camp and the amount of heli.. so, I suppose that I am looking for a server on Lingor Island or Taviana. Panthera would be perfect but the bug with the loot/zombies spawn is really annoying. Your help would be welcome.

I ran a Taviana server for four months - both 2.0 and .EU. Taviana 2.0 (.com) is able to be highly customized. The code it runs is 1.7.4.4, but I had zombies spawning while players were in vehicles and attacking them in vehicles as well. 2.0 is the "cleaner" version in that spawn locations in most buildings have been fixed (loot not spawning floating above the floor/ground, and in some buildings, better loot has been added. You can also use Rmod with 2.0. Taviana.eu is quite interesting. Zombies fall to headshots only, will hit you on the run and can run inside some buildings, and it has a custom humanity system based on bandit/hero kills which rewards several different player skins. For all I could tell from chatting with the mod's creators, they do not plan to support it much at all in the future beyond the current 1.5.1 release. Other features unique to .EU include a custom loot table (weapons you will not find in other mods for the most part) but you have to know where to look for them. Also some cool vehicles have been unlocked but would never spawn for me, and there are some custom road clutter and military checkpoints and lighting at night. Taviana as a whole, well it is a lot to manage as far as server administration goes. I think that the default vehicle spawn number is 125 or so, with many other spawn points built in. There are many big cities with streets and boulevards hundreds of meters long - which lend a great atmosphere - and many, many smaller villages and towns. Overall Tavi is beautiful and diverse with interesting land and sea and structural exploration potential. One drawback is the unfinished nature of of some of the buildings relating to how they were placed by Martin Bauer, Tavi's creator. He did an unbelievably amazing job creating the map, but gaps and cracks in textures allow players wise to them to hide whole clan bases with these exploits if they choose to do so. Still, it is one of my favorite DayZ maps, and one I will eventually go back to modding and administering. Epoch - I have not tried it yet. Seems too non Dayz-ish for me.

If there are classes I would much rather classes were a random thing sort of a special spawn Some classes might be The Mechanic Starting item - toolbox Skill – full vehicle repair (all others can only reach yellow) Medic Starting item - watch Skill – faster medical application (both self and others) Hunter Starting item – knife Skill – one additional meat from animals Army Private Starting item – compass, map Skill – longer sprint Through actions players learn the skill of other classes Repair – fix X amount of vehicles (10 wheels, 2 engine blocks, 5 scrap, 1 main rotor assembly) Medical application – perform X amount of medical acts ( 20 bandage, 15 blood bags, 5 epi pen 5 morphine). Additional meat – gut x number of animals (2 rabbits, 1 chicken, 3 goats, 3 pigs, 2 cows) Longer sprint – run x distance (run 30km)

Hehe, thank you for the replies. Just to let everyone know. We have now gone to a day night cycle with Full Moon and a very short night. Night time is 9PM to 3AM server time. So, for North American players, night time is: 12 AM to 6AM EDT 1 AM to 7AM CDT 2AM to 8AM MDT 3AM to 9 AM PDT So, most players will not experience night during regular play, but for those who do want to play at night, they can. About 1 to 3 people usually play every night on weekdays. On weekends perhaps 5-10 play at night. For those who don't like dayz at night. I encourage you to play on a full moon server. It really improves the experience. Also, heli crashes have a decent probability of spawning nvgs. The new server name is: Taviana Titty Sprinkles | 400+ Vehicles | 20+ Helis [GMT -11] Full Moon Short Nights 9PM to 3AM Server Time| Custom Crash Loot | Debug Monitor | Refuel Script |ACTIVE ADMINS | 2.0/103419 [Veteran CH: ON 3P:ON NT:OFF] Thanks, all.

This Phil agrees! Glad you bumped this topic. I know it's been mentioned before but should really be at the top of every players wishlist for SA. If they could add just one main river right through the middle of Chernarus it would drastically improve gameplay and map feel. By the time I sprint and loot every good spot from Balota to Zelen to Stary to NWA I'm freaking exhausted, right? If the river had a strong current there'd be a strong risk/reward factor in braving the inevitable snipers for a quick path back south. I'd also envision this river to be realistic in terms of crossing. Only certain bridges and fordable areas generating choke points on the map for great pvp. It's sorta crazy there's no waterways on such a huge map when you stop to think about it. If it were me, adding waterways would be priority #2 for update after launch, vehicles being #1 of course. An awesome river would be so much cooler than all the communal labor involved in getting base building and infections to work correctly.

I've been with ST for about 6-7 months now and my main gripe is the extreme lag at times. Filters or no filters, 100 vehicles or 500 vehicles, the lag makes it impossible to even walk at times. Other than the occasional DDos and sarcasm in the IRC channel, it's been pretty decent.
