Will there be better server browsing? Such as separating official servers away from player hosted servers? I honestly don't like the idea of players hosting servers on the Standalone. It just ruins the experience slightly if they're able to customize the gameplay features such as; don't take these examples seriously as they are just examples "Start off with M4, all tools, vehicles 100%". "we will be funding launch servers so people have the opportunity to try the game before they decide if they want to commit to migrating to the standalone - as the initial state will probably not suit all clans/communities/etc... These will be geographically dispersed, and will run until we feel the community has started to take over the hosting. The server files will be released to all upon launch. It is much easier to setup a dayz SA server. However, we are no longer using gamespy - which means you must setup firewall and NAT negotiation manually for the server (a trivial step for those who actually use servers)." -Rocket

Last week I hopped on Vanilla to run around with some friends and found myself up North. I had a Lee Enfield and enough ammo but I still hit some barns looking for enough food and water to run and meet my friends. I ran into another survivor with a Hatchet out and covered him with the gun but since he didn't move towards me I did not fire. He said "Friendly, Friendly!" into the mike and I let him pass and shot a zombie agro'd on one of us. I moved quickly through the barn, grabbed a soda and a can of food and left the rest for him. I moved out of the area just in case he found a gun and decided he wasn't actually friendly, but I wasn't going to shoot someone who was not hostile to myself. Later on in Vanilla and in Breaking Point my friend and I have made it a point to hop onto busy servers and see if we can hunt down some of the bandits. We have 6 or 7 bandit kills under our belts(the one combat logged) but we also have 2 murders each. The unfortunate fact is that when someone switches skins it's impossible to determine their "alignment". Sitting on a hill overlooking Elektro with DMR in hand and bandit skin... easy choice. Running through the woods in Ghillie or in Breaking Point any of the other skins you could find all over the place, impossible to tell. The two of us ran into 4 guys. They looked geared up and had two vehicles. The had scoped rifles and were heading towards the ridge overlooking Elektro. Now, they might have been hunting bandits like we were or they could have been getting into position to shoot bambies. We couldn't tell their motives and 4 on 2 would go the wrong way if they were bandits and we announced our presence and our stated goal of shooting people preying on new spawn and hunting bandits. They were not "bandits" by the moral system in the game but it is remarkably easy to bloodbag your way to Hero status or at least out of Bandit status in Breaking Point. So we followed the best tactical assessment we could at the moment and shot them. ~IF~ the typical interaction was not KoS and the average interaction was trustworthy with the general DayZ populous we would have announced ourselves and tried to determine their actions, but the typical response to, "Hi... I'm friendly and I was hoping yo...." is *blam*, *blam*, *blam*!

If you're looking for a new server that is different, or atleast going to be alot different than all the others, this might suit you. To start off, my goal is to get dedicated DayZ players to atleast try a firstperson only server. As many of you know, there is a mod called DayZero which is pretty hard aswell. The only thing is, you can not make a nice camp because of all those helis.. well, I'm here to try to give you a hard dayz server where you can still feel a bit like surviving an zombie apocalypse. The server will be running mainly vanilla with a bit of map tweaks, loot tweaks. Vehicles are set to 75 at the moment, there will be 3 Helicopters available, 1 BiPlane. As in the map tweaking im going to add a bit of tents around the NEAF for example. >> We do not run any custom scripts At The Moment. It's full moon during nighttimes and I have a antihack script running to keep the baddies out. More info will follow soon. Server Name: NL1 | (1.7.7.1/103718) [FirstPerson server] [uTC-2] [FULL MOON NIGHTS] [OVERHAULED LOOTSPOTS] [Vanilla] [75 VEHICLES] IP:5.153.8.199:3187 I hope you'll try this out and I hope my 2nd attempt at hosting a server will become ever better than my first attempt.

A bit of foliage would be good but not many people run around in full ghillie suits 24/7, they're kind of inconvenient... honestly I think it's pretty weird seeing bandit squads all sporting ghillies (it just doesn't happen in real life) so I hope this isn't the case in standalone. I hope they give us some more practical camouflage for the standalone... a less "all-encompassing" ghillie would be good, and I would like to see some hunting camouflage as well as old woodland military surplus stuff. Most importantly they have to make sure the camo actually works at distance... A ghillie like this would be nice Or camouflage like this And it must blend in with the terrain from afar As for local foliage I see it most useful for hiding vehicles, supply caches, etc.

This is probably going to be wasted on you but you need to stop and think for a moment and try to understand why we use polls and why they are fairly accurate. Your analogy above and your previous posts are also wrong. Nobody wants to play on an empty server so if most people are on 3rd person servers, that's where other people will go, to the populated servers but does that tell you what they want to play or would play or be bothered to play? No. It simply says players go to play with other players, naturally the populated servers get populated. Btw, by your logic I can also say that most people want to play on servers that have lots of loot spawns and vehicles so they must want that too, right? So you see how far removed the game is now from where it started right? To the point that it is simply not the same game that everyone came to play. Slight changes were made that nobody noticed but we all remember playing this for the first time over a year ago and we know what brought us here and it wasn't this

DayZEVO is a community and server founded by Samuel, Papa Emertius II and Tazoo. We wished to create an opportunity for players to experience DayZ in the way it was played in its early days, the way it was supposed to be played. We still encourage and sometimes we even sponsor epic firefights between great clans, groups and individuals. A special version of the DayZ mod has been developed by our developers to make sure best possible game play is achieved at all times. We ensure the game is played in the more "player-encounter friendly" way by issuing special rules, such as no KOS. Read more about the rules at DayZEVO.com We will also host dynamic server events that stretches from everything between military level para-drops, to simple "hide & seek" missions As you most likely understand, DayZEVO is a young community, but it is build on a solid ground by highly experienced staff members. We will to everything we can to ensure the best of the players, the best of the community. The DayZEVO mod will evolve as the server progress grow, thus there is a lot more content and awesomeness to be added in the future! Current custom content of the DayZEVO mod: * Special weapon packs * Custom vehicles * Custom skins * And a lot more! What we are hoping to achieve is a fun and rich environment for everyone to enjoy without corruption and killing without reason. Hope to see all fun seeking players in the future.

Im not hinking that, i did not say that. So yes you are misunderstanding my point. I try to explain this: The game should be hard survivor game, not some carefully produced to masses kind of game. But this game should (and i think it will) be made little easier for the masses to approach it. There will be compromises so the standalone gets as much players it can but still be as near as possible to the hardcore game we all want. I hope you understand what i mean. Thats where you are wrong, we should be very very concerned about SA's sellings. Let me explain why. This game is designed in a way that it develops in time, same time we players are playing (and buying) the game. And when we are playing, we are marketing it on youtube and various other media. If the game is relatively easy for masses to approach (or to get interested) it will sell more. And when the game sells a lot it guarantees development for the years to come. Its a guarantee that the game has as much resources it needs to go forward and keep it alive. For example think about tv-series. There is numerous really good scifi-series that has been cancelled because it wont sell enough. Sure there is hardcore scifi-fans that love the shows but if it dont sell enough it will be cancelled. I think you get my point on this. I dont want it to be made only for the masses, only to make as much money possible, i want Dean to find best compromise between "game for masses" and "game for hardcore fans". There will be mods to standalone to please almost everyone anyway. And yes, when 1st person is as broken as it is right now i prefer 3rd person my self. I posted this earlier in some topic. I do not understand why you have to remove 3rd person if there is option for 1st person only servers. In these forums there is a lot of players who dont want to play 3rd person servers and still the 1st person servers are empty, why is that? I think there is enough players to populate 1st person only servers but for some reason regardless what they say here they wont play there. It is up to them to populate those servers, not to remove 3rd person and force all players to play there. At the moment there is no problem at all. Only problem is that there is only one hive for both. There should be two hives, one for each. But there i good private hives for 1st person only servers. You could play right now, highly populated 1st person only private hive servers without hundreds of vehicles and sniper rifles. Why wont they play? Why they choose to cry about it here? Removing 3rd person would be massive mistake in my opininon. Of course i would play without it, but i would not be happy unless the 1st person is fixed.

wait, wait, wait! People who read my posts know that i am a BIG enemy of pay-to-win/microtransactions and i want to clarify what dayzero does is NOT pay to win! Two things: 1. zombies.nu (who are the developers of dayzero) offer reserved slots as a "thank you" to their donators and you can get another skin if you are a big donator. thats it. No advantages in game (weapons, vehicles etc.). 2. bmrf (who are hosting the dazero servers in the US) are offering pay-to-win! Yes it is pay-to-win, even if you only get rather small "packs". They already had the donate-for-gear policy when they were hosting vanilla servers. Conclusion: The pay-for-gear thing is bmrf exclusive and has not directly to do with dayzero.

Apparently they got hurt in the butt Baker. And yes, perhaps I posted it with the wrong title? Perhaps Player/Hacker? But this: clearly shows that this is a server for 12 year olds. Any admin that isn't biased would have said they will investigate it. Or replied back with a log check or something of that nature. But this guy Cool Hand, his reply certainly speaks volumes about his character and cowardice. Did I complain about being shot all over the place? NAH, because that never happened and probably won't on your training server. Maybe he missed the line about taking out a chopper? I know they definitely missed us running up the southern road mopping players clean. Maybe he missed the line about me saying everyone that was involved with the incident suddenly had their legs broken and died all within the same 5 seconds and asking if there was something fishy going on? Maybe he missed me asking to check on this guy Mr. McGhilicuddy, or maybe not...maybe there IS something weird going on and I pulled that card and you can't handle it. Because that response was weaker than my 88 year old grandmother. You know what this sounds like Cool Hand? It sounds like you and your D50's can't play for shit so you needed your own lame ass server to try to boss in. AM I RIGHT? I mean come on? How can you say you guys we cannot stomach the violence when you have the server dumbed down with auto healing all vehicles after restarts, map markers enabled, and strange deaths immediately after we mop the floor with one of your supposed "Bandit players?" Keep it real bro. Come onto a real server and play. Don't run these little fisher price servers with favoritism. Prove me wrong...because I'll have this whole thread removed if you do I promise and won't talk bad about anything on there. I'll even make an apology thread. But I'm willing to bet you're not. I'm willing to bet you won't. SHOW ME SOMETHING BRO. Otherwise go back on your toy server and let the big boys be the big boys. Because WE CREATED THE VIOLENCE when we were there. I'm going old school...cause I got you stuck off the realness with this thread. lulz

hi there, im going to be starting up my own dayz server and i am looking for a few admins and a coder who are interested in building a pvp server, spawning with guns, 300 vehicles, 100% day, towing, strippable cars, etc, if interested pm me or add me on skype, james.johnson733 thanks i look forward to hearing some responses

Those Origin monkeys have issues all over with copyright blah blah....I'm sure they'll figure out some way to sue someone over stealing or something like that...One reason why I don't like Origins are the rude modding communtity behind it. They don't want anyone else besides GamersPlatoon to have access to there server files. That alone will drag them down. Plus I have read somewhere that all they did was steal the mods from other people and label it as their own...(I'll have to find the article) Legal Issues aside I would love to see reinforcing on stock vehicles.

That it exactly what I was trying to f*cking tell you. You know what 90% of the server are too? DayZChernarus | Max Vehicles | 20+ Helicopters | Costum Barracks | Increased Starting Loadout | [RECRUIT] Now, what is your f*cking argument for that, huh?

As you can see in the pic below, we have fun here, and pvp if necessary. DayZ Omni is not a clan but a community. If you haven't heard, we are the DayZ App delivering content and news for its users @ http://www.DayZomni.com Join DayZ Omni in Max Loot/Spawns/Vehicles @ 192.31.185.215:3187 Join using DayZ Commander and search DayZ Omni Come join us !

Coded in by TheSzerdi,Falcyn,and myself.Red missions are the smaller missions, and most have 3 NPCs guarding them. In some of these missions you have the opportunity to get a 50 cal sniper gun!! Green missions are the large missions, and have either weapons crates filled with almost every gun in the game MK17s,Sa58V CCO and RCO, DMR, M40A3 just to name a few guns in the crates. Also there are supplies too(I know its like and infomercial "No wait there is more!" LOL) the other missions have APCs, Hummer with a grenade launcher, or one of the several Attack Helicopters (warning for the vehicles bring a Jerry can they all spawn empty) We have a Custom Debug Monitor created by TheSzerdi that shows all the info you need to know, FPS(Frames per-second), Days Survived, Zombies killed, Head-shots Murders, Bandits killed, Humanity, Blood Level, and Next Restart. Our webpage link is also there come by and say HI!We have well over 200 vehicles on the server.The Czech Vest Pouch is now a suicide bomber vest that can be detonated with the scroll menu. The scroll menu option will not appear if you log in with the vest on, just drop it and pick it back up to get the option.Biplane's & LittleBirds now have M240 mounted facing forward and controlled by pilot's trigger.Ability to remove undamaged parts from vehicles.Voice over sidechat deal 2500 damage per 5 seconds. TheSerdi said this the best "We will not ban or server restart just because we got killed / Camp raided. We ONLY ban for log confirmed hacking, voice over side chat, combat logging, and excessive racism/bigotry/douchebaggery. so don't be a pussy and alt+F4 cuz we won't!" So get on and have a good time with us ever have aquestion just hop on TS and chat with one of the admins one of us is always on. Come by and say HI Mongrell (Pat)

I just voted randomly. Give us info. What's the name of the server? Is it a vanilla, or a 1000+ vehicles, spawn with full loadout server.

NEW SERVER – DAYZ VANILLA - LOOKING TO BUILD COMMUNITY. I have started a new private server (Dayz.st) running DayZ Vanilla and am looking to build a community. There is currently no password to join. I am 43 years old and plan to be a VERY active admin who plays the role of a medic. I will be adding a full website, forums, and TeamSpeak server once a community is formed. There are only two rules one would need to follow: (1) respect other players and (2) no profanity. Here are the server settings: Name: Seraphim//US/Vanilla/Admin=Medic/Day/Map+Anti-B IP: 50.22.217.221 Port: 3136 Server Location: Washington, DC (US) [i am from the East Coast] Custom load out: Patrol pack + Pasta x2 + Pepsi x2 + Antibiotics + Bandages x3 + Map + M911 + Ammo x5 3rd person/ crosshairs/ death messages/ NO nameplates/ max vehicles (without scripting) / Server resets every 3 hours COME JOIN US!!

hi guys/girls me and my friends just recently got a dayz origins server, we are looking for more people to populate the server anyone is welcome including groups/clans looking for a place to set up a home or other survivors looking to join up with a group. the server is still fresh with the vehicles still in high numbers. but we have a zero tolerance for hackers IP: 88.150.201.18:7802

I do that in all vehicles without heli's. I find it impossible to land a heli without my mouse unless I use autohover. Which I hate with a fiery passion

Not some bad ideas. I'm really looking forward to what they do with vehicles in SA. I'm really hoping we'll be able to lean out windows and shoot.

Personally, I prefer the DMR over any other sniper rifle, for various reasons: 1. The ammo is beyond easy to find, compared to Nato and SVD Dragonuv rounds. 2. It is the only sniper compatible with NVGs--this if not one of, it's THE main reason why it is better than the others. 3. You can fire it as fast as you can spam your mouse button. That way, you can get two or three shots off before your AS50 opposition can even get two off, let alone one. 4. It increases your skill as a marksman-- I was watching Sacriel42's latest video where it was him using an M24. It showed skill, accuracy and knowledge because it is not a one shot kill anywhere on the body, unlike the AS50. I've used the AS50 at its max range, and I achieved two or three kills at that range. Hell of a shot, but without the one shot kill ability of the AS50, I couldn't have pulled it off. It was too easy, personally. Of course, there are some cons to the DMR, such as: 1. No zeroing, which makes it harder if you don't know how to use the mildots. Actually, that's the only con I could think of. DISCLAIMER: I love the AS50. I love it almost as much as the DMR. If I'm running in the group one of us will ALWAYS have an AS50 for sniping, counter-sniping and to take out vehicles, such as a chopper. What's your favourite sniper? EDIT: Did I mention that the DMR is compatible with NVGs? ;D EDIT #2: This is merely personal preference, people. I am the designated marksman for both night and day, thus I run an AS50 for day and a DMR for night. Without a DMR when it's night, you're fucked. And don't gamma it up, people.That's just borderline cheating. Also, if you master the DMR or any other non-one shot kill [except for the headshot]/not .50 cal, then you master pretty much every sniper. EDIT: Gamma exploiting, really? They should fix that. Honestly people...

Ive only been playing on this server for a few days and these guys are pretty kickass cool community minus the french guys and the admins are really cool. Theres never hackers admins are always active and just overall really fun. Donated 20 bucks to them and they made a custom base for me and my clan. Also made me a section on the TS for my clan and a section for clan applications on their website. Just figured id pass this awesome server- Smokiesstash Overwatch, 66.150.214.198:2324, Active admins, Custom Vehicles, Lag Free, Teamspeak 66.150.214.198
