It's already confirmed that they are revamping vehicles. Rocket wants to be able to swap things like a door from one vehicle to another. Not sure what else he has in mind but it is in the works.

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.

DayZ - Lingor Vanilla - 50 Vehicles 20 Player Cap (Small Map) No Donator Weapons Friendly Admins Teamspeak/Clans From the Brains Of Britain team. We welcome you to join our community. DETAILS: 46.165.221.97:2312 http://www.briansofbritain.co.uk

Oh hahahaha, you play a zombie game where if you die you respawn, where guns, ammo, food, medicine, vehicles, components and animals magically get shat into the world, yet you claim a certain type of medicine re-spawning would be 'too unrealistic'? Okay. If you were truly concerned with realism you wouldn't touch this game unless there is 1 world with a set amount of resources that do not come back, where if you die you get banned from the server permanently and there is a zombie population that can eventually hit 0. Also I don't know you, but I have at least 30 antibiotic tablets in my medicine cabinet, but I don't have any morphine or Epinephrine. Surely if people looted the antibiotics zombies should have like a 5-10% chance of dropping one. Presumably they looted the medicine then died with it on their person or in their gear.

Now with even more weapons! AK's with grenade launchers/grenades of various types added to loot tables! Can pull parts off vehicles? Sure, why not! Come and give us a try.

there is a mod for Arma 2 that allows shooting assault rifles from little birds as seen in this vid @ 0:25, no doubt it could be added to land vehicles.

something messed up in the spawn i'm afraid: Biplane and HMMV spawn in the debug, this was confirmed by me. after seeing it pop up while logging in and changing skins i went out to investigate (yes i made 24km trip) and saw with my own eyes the freshly spawned vehicles. managed to repair and bring them back to the map area, after that they stayed there through server restarts. i probably should blow them up to see if they spawn in debug again. to be more specific: it is the place where everyone goes while logging in / changing skins. i have coordinates noted down but i'm not sure if i should post them here, since people might decide to go camp there.

I feel like I'm writing a profile for match.com or myspace back in 2007 lol. tl;dr version - Looking for a serious relationsh - I mean ..uh,teammates/squad. I'm 24, from UK - from down south London way originally but living in the North East for the past 5 years. Played DayZ mod since June last year, would consider myself above average and usually come out on top when it comes to PVP and hold my own as a lonewolf. Good vehicle driver and decent in heli's. Played Vanilla, Origins, DayZero and Broken Point (try to avoid BP cuz of all the issues it has). ATM playing Origins as DayZero is preferred but too squad orientated even for the better lone wolves (the standard of PvP and squad play on there is ridiculously good - approaching Stary/NWAF solo can be suicide). I'm not looking to build anything on Origins however, just general banditry. Half the reason my original squad disbanded somewhat is losing our shit on Origins every 2 weeks haha. I would consider myself a neutral player generally - I go out my way to help people on occasions and sometimes hesitate to KoS and will never shoot a unarmed player. I met everyone I squadded with in game through helping them/them helping me and us teaming up so I'm not a straight hero or bandit. Record my gameplay quite a bit and would stream if my 0.8 upload could handle it and I'd put effort into a channel if I had some decent squad play behind me - at the moment I just have a shit ton of clips that I just keep deleting and recording over lol. So I'd be happy to team up with some serious players who actually don't mind taking their time and playing tactically, especially hotspot areas (i wont miss the random enfield spam or people deciding to run into the middle of the NWAF for no reason from ). Also don't mind farming/repairing vehicles if needs be - I get bored of running around Cherno/Electro playing TDM. Regarding my old squad the 2 mature guys have moved on to other games, 1 can barely run the game so we spend more time troubleshooting/looking for FPS tips, 1 is quite immature and 1 gets bored too easily and decides to spam their Enfield in the middle of Stary for no reason at all haha. So I'm branching out and making new friends <3. Usually on most nights about 630/7pm GMT > 11/midnight GMT - between working/catering to my girlfriend (aka under the thumb) and studying for my accountancy quals. On weekends if I'm free it's not uncommon for me to totally geek out and do a huge session, especially as my sleep schedule is fucked on weekends (it's like 4am here now, debating on hopping back into a server for a little even though i'm up at 10am and I work a 9-5 during the week) Have a mic + Skype, usually use my mic but in a effort to not be totally ignorant to my GF and lock myself away I don't use it 24/7. pm me on here or just add me on Skype - xstarblazer1

choose. how you choose is totally up to you. however, it's clear that some people have no imagination whatsoever, and can't imagine things in the future. so here's some pros and cons of both. DAYZ: pros: 1. it's playable right now 2. we already know the controls and gameplay 3. we already very familiar with the map and the weapons available 4. free nightvision on every game. (brightness/gamma/HDR) 5. we know what to look for in zombies and players (we can identify both and how they work) cons: 1. bugs that may or may not be fixed 2. the game may never leave alpha/beta (maybe) 3. kenyan zombies with teleportation technology 4. it's a mod vs standalone (arma 2's bugs are carried over into dayz) THE WAR Z: (yes, we can assume these from the screenshots) pros: 1. the game is standalone, so there will be fewer bugs that come with the mod's basegame already 2. the zombies are supposed to be in the game, unlike dayz's impromptu zombies 3. new places to explore, new weapons and vehicles 4. more player interactions besides shooting/alliance then shooting 5. possibly better graphics (maybe) cons: 1. the map is unfamiliar, as could be the controls (unless they rip off arma 2's controls) 2. the zombies could be buffed (better/harder to avoid than the current dayz ones) 3. it's a ripoff of dayz (yes it was made first, but in everyone's eyes, since it was announced second, it seems like a ripoff. whether or not you consider this con when choosing is completely up to you) 4. overall gameplay could be far more difficult (less food, less ammo, more zombies, whatever other complaints you have) so there you go, unimaginative people. now choose. i will stay with dayz. why? because i'm a cheap bastard, and $20 for the admission price for dayz was already pushing it. yeah, i'm poor. so what, wanna fight about it? and besides, since the war z is a standalone game, it is FOR SURE going to be paid for. probably $60 if they're assholes.

Sure - this is how I have it a majority of the time when I'm not chopping and changing settings. It doesn't help that I'm using a Arma free/OA - could that really make a difference? Maybe in physical texture quality (doesn't look drastically different apart from inside vehicles/buildings though). I've played w/ launch parameters too - set up to my knowledge correctly (from the B.I forums) - maxmem, maxVram and the processor core parameter (forget what it was). Hasn't really made any difference. Also every now and again I almost get a ''wave'' go vertically up my screen. It's hard to describe, almost like a transparent single wave that travels across the screen but not long enough to really notice - just a second. I noticed it this time when I went from crouched to standing. I've noticed if I'm trying to read a sign or look at loot on the floor as I'm running past - focusing on anything small really as I move, it all appears to ''blur together'' and tear. Best way I can describe it. Not like post processing effects however. I thought I was crazy till a buddy of mine mentioned he gets a similar issue but neither of us could quite pinpoint exactly what it was to explain it. Here's a couple examples of my 2nd problem that I get, much easier to capture than my main issue unless I uploaded a video and even then as it's not 100% true quality so it's hard. I've noticed the weird tear/blur/headache inducing effect on some streams I think when people move through buildings, so idk. Example of the blur. Happens on any map, not just Taviana. I can get whole blocks like this, literally so blurry the graphics may have come from Wolfenstein 3d back in the day, then I can get closer and they go sharp like the ones next to it on the picture. Then back to blurry from 20m away, then sharp. The picture quality is probably not great as it's from a 10 sec clip I then print screened - so not ''true to game'', but it's enough to see. Example of pop ups. Notice how the first pic the whole arrangement of the windows is different. Literally a second between the pictures, if that. I ran on the first pic, then came to a rest for the second. Both these pictures were 2 seconds after the blur one - so all in the space of 10 seconds of movement. Again, I get this on Chernarus too. Sometimes i'll get roof's of sheds etc flickering from 10m away, that physically change textures completely as I move. Can kinda understand it from 800m scoped in though.

I use DayzCC for single-player and playing with my partner. It's legit, and nobody can hack it, if you PW protect it. It's robust, and from what I've read on the DayzCC forum some are using it to host 40 players. That depends on your PC hardware and connection speed. I gather it's the basic server used by Dayz Priv, a hosting outfit. But without all the server admin control bells and whistles. It still has some development connection to Dayz Priv, though they are different entities. Unless you have tools and SQL abilities, you'll basically be playing vanilla. But there's a loadout SQL generator that allows you to easily paste whatever loadout you want into the control panel configure loadout window. The control panel also provides some common admin functions. Delete/repawn vehicles is one. It also supports about 8-9 other vanilla maps. Lingor. Takistan, Taviana, etc. You should have decent computer skills if you want to install and run it, but it's pretty easy to use. Don't expect hand-holding support. Novogeek is the sole developer now, and is doing a bang-up job in keeping it going. He expects to release the newest version, which supports Dayz 1.7.7.1, in a few days. That will be DayzCC version 5.9.3.0 Wait until he releases that, because anything else - except the old package supporting 1.7.6 - is a mess. I'm running Dayz 1.7.7 with the old DayzCC version 5.9.2.0 with no issues I care about, but obviously new elements like stashes aren't in the DB. But 5.9.2.0 won't run Dayz 1.7.7.1 for me. So I'm looking forward to the new CC release. 1.7.7 is brutal even with no PvP. Having said all that, playing single or with a partner on your own server is only good for "training" with no PvP to deal with. That's a lot different than mixing it up on public servers. You won't have any "fun" at all once you've adequately trained and seen the scenery. You could do pretty much the same by finding a low-pop server, and I've done that too.

Sooo... I log onto my favorite server ever (of all time) and have to start a fresh survivor, my last toatally kitted try ended in me clicking "get into crashed huey as gunner" I wanted to use the minigun on the side of a fixed location non loot spawning chopper crash. Anyway i spawn in on the mountian near dubovo airport and after a short run have looted all the hangars and get nothing save a large coyote backpack. I run to the assault base on the southwest corner and find lo and behold and m249 saw with one full 200 round mag. The server has tons of vehicles so i hop into the C-130j sitting on the runway and take off, with the intention of going to jaroslavski airport in the north. i leave the ground and almost home free slam into the red radio antenna near the air control tower. Now i love taviana but WHO THE FUCK WAS SO STUPID AS TO PUT THAT WHERE IT WILL BRING DOWN ALL THE AIRPLANES!?!?!?! I collide and after a half second KO bandage up with about 8500 blood and no hearing whatsoever i tried to turn my system and game sound all the way up but i still coulnt hear. I run 50 feet to the warehouses there to get car parts and a toolbox for a sedan i saw during takeoff about 200m away from the A.C.T. on the runway. i get a jerry can toolbox and tire and fix it up. On the way to sabina to loop around the hospital i spot a UAZ and with the servers salvage script take all the parts from the sedan to the UAZ. and on the hill i spot a heli crash. Im about to get into my car when 2 lee enfeild weilding "badasses" try to get the jump on me i only realized they were firing when both their bullets hit my UAZ. I turn, lay down and 28 bullets later the wannabe bandits are dead. i collect their things which includes an ammo box for my SAW and a SVD camo with no ammo, which i have 2 mags for. At the crash i find an m240 scope that i didnt want because it takes away your pack, soldier clothing and a ghillie suit. i put on the soldier clothing because i dont like ghillies. the custom server files make me suddenly look like an awesome russian Special forces guy. On the road again i come across another crash and once i park and kill the zombies i get two more things of soldier clothing. i try one on and look like an awesome delta force dude so i put the next one on and get the stock soldier outfit. i try again and get a US army dude with a really ugly helmet. One more try gets me a marine corp. soldier. I was going to try again but i saw a vodnick driving down the road aparently for the crashed helo. For those of you who don't know a vodnick is an armored russian truck The ones in this server are medic vonicks so they have big red crosses on the sides and no gun on the top at 150 m away it stops and 3 guys with m16s and g36s get out. I roll behind my UAZ and watch them go to the crash. They pay no attention to my car as theirs is far superior except is is about 10kph slower. as they loot i get in my UAZ and drive away. No bullets hit me and they didnt give chase. after 5 minuets of driving i reach the airfeild and a player in a cessna one seater flys over and ejects on to the airfield. He gets in a car and drives out to the middle of the strip i tell him to get out and put down his weapon. He complies, and we decide to team up and try to takeout the AIs on the mountian on the small island. after a 10 minute loot run in the dock town thats near the airfield we have the parts we need for a chopper. we fix up a huey I fly and he guns. we take a run and he strafes one of the two AI hueys and it starts smoking and fires back. He takes a bullet and starts to bleed so we flee and land. he bandages and has to log off. i fly back to the large island and log off. I am making plans with a few friends of mine to get on this server sometime this weekend or next week as school ends monday to raid the biggest AI base it has one of almost every weapon in arma 2. If you want to join us my in game name is cheezwhaz and ill be giving free rides for the mission the server ip: 97.101.92.100:2302 its name is joeszombieshack I will leave updates as to when we will do the raid if you want to join in or mooch off what we leave behind.

Moving furniture around would definitely help the whole barricading a house concept but like icrush said, I doubt the engine will allow it. As for hiding in furniture, that shouldn't be too complicated to code; if they wanted an easy way to do it, it would basically consist of making stationary vehicles with props instead of actual vehicles as their model. The player can climb into it, just like they would in a car.

You might want to think about limiting the fuel available. This may have been suggested before but I'm kinda new here! On topic with the fuel, having an unlimited amount is unrealistic. You don't even have unlimited Fuel in Texas much less post infected Cherno! Just a suggestion, but you may want to limit each fuel source to say 100 liters per 24 hour period. And have the 100 liters spawn in over time in different tanks like the choppers do. So we don't know exactly which fuel tanks will have fuel when! would add a new dimension to the game! Make it more realistic, and even the playing field for the players without vehicles! It would also force the chopper hunters to be more judicious with their air time! Thank you! Peace! Sleepy

While Chernarus is a wonderful map its setting in Easter Europe diminishes the potential of stand alone. Having it set to Eastern Europe greatly hinders the types and number of weapons that could be included in the game. I propose they work on a new map for the final release set somewhere in Middle America. This would greatly increase the variety of weapons and vehicles possible in the final product. Use chernarus during the alpha and beta as a placeholder and when retail comes out use the new American set map.

We had a helocopter; saved it.. logged out.. server reset, and we came back on (less then 30 seconds) nobody on the server but us before and after -- HUEY was gone. Private Hive US 843 ... also, all the loot piles (like vehicle husks, care packages, etc.) are spawning under the -center- of the spawn object, all stacked ... (such as all loot spawning under the care package or car husk where you can't (easily?) get at it.) All stacked perfectly. Also, our van (which we parked a half hour before we got the van) while nobody was on.. was magically reset to default loot at it's Gas Station (South of Berenzio~ the famous van spawn) on the east-coast on the other side of the map after we pointedly *did* save it. Vehicles are not saving when we select 'Save'.

I found most of the custom map servers to be riddled with "enhancements"(over9000 vehicles, starting gear, safe zones, side chat, donation perks, etc), at least the populated ones anyway.

First, i have not played origins and all i know about it is what i have read above. I don't see anything there makes me wanna run out and try it. Houses? Don't need one. My motto is if i can't carry it I don't need it. Only use i have for a house is if i can get inside and see if there is anything i can use. Vehicles? unless i come across one that runs, has gas and is pointed in the direction i am going i have no use. Customize? Hell i have never even tried to repair one. Ain't no way Im gonna lift an engine block at my age. Put a wheel in my back pack? lol, I think im smart enough to know that wont work and i sure as hell ain't gonna carry or roll one around. Saving loot? If you mean safe storage you have completely turned me off there. If i wanted that i would play the other Z game that recently changes its name to .... ummm Bugs and Hacks i think its called now. Reckon that makes me vanilla :)

Are there any private hive servers with the following: 3P: off NP: off SC: off Tracers: off CH: on/off -Vanilla night times and moon cycles -Near vanilla map (I'm okay with extra structures and such. But not to the point that looting And finding fixed vehicles becomes easy, I want the rarity and satisfaction of finding and relating my own stuff) -Community and very active admins. -Some clans would be nice to group up some of the survivors. I'm exploring a more hardcore and realistic experience when it comes to DayZ to bring back that paranoia, that mystery, and that confusion. I feel a roleplay server would be fun also to find mature players who aren't always Bambi hunting bandits. I'm looking for an intense, fun, well developed or currently rising environment to be a medic in.

EVENT TONIGHT - ALL VEHICLES REPAIRED FOR NEW SERVER LAUNCH

hit the spawn vehicles button if it wont spawn anymore youll have to edit the database to get more.. as for the loot the way i used to up the loot in 1.7.7 isnt working right in 1.7.7.1 atm it breaks otherthings

ok, this will be my last message here. think of it as a final statement. read it and think about it, i give you enough proofes, you just have to check them: position of hmmwv, lb and huey thats not correct in all points.... we tryed to take off in the huey, when the mi appeared and damaged the engine. all broken was the engine and one glass. i shot the mi gunner and he flew anway. THEN we used the hmmwv to get to the factory, found an engine and left the car at 118/113, at the end of the road in the trees. look for it, i dont think its gone, it was well hidden. we waited for server restart, repaired the huey, took off , picked up our 3. friend, then we flew to zelenogorsk to search for tents. then we found a little bird ( black) at the old fields, when we looted a crashside. later we found an other little bird at an open field. then we wnt to pubeda, parked the huey, one lb flew around, the other one stayed at the dam. later we used one lb to fly to the location of the first base my friend spottedwhile flying around, ca 144/014 i think. but there we found no tents we could use for an own base, and continued searching for others. therefore we just flew to the north western end of the map and then followed the western map border parallel and looked out for tents. u gotta admit, its not hard spotting a white wall around all kindd of basestuff + vehicles. there the pilot dropped me and my friend, while giving us information from bird perspective. i killed Geohound, you shot down the lb (by the way, how couldnt u seee the chopper u were shooting at?) then we managed to get woody out of cover with the uaz and i sniped him. next was a ban from your side. i liked your server, but we didnt deserve this treatment. im sure you just claim us to be hackers in public to justify your ban on us. logs cant lie, but the person reading them can.

If you like vanilla DayZ, you should play dayzero... Much more balanced than other mods. I for one do not like most of the other mods because of "big" changes they have made, some have the ability to build houses, build vehicles, become a zombie and many of the mods and dayz included have weapons that are just imbalanced and overpowered, feels like i.e. breaking point just randomly chose arma 2 weapons. Dayzero haven't added big changes, just refined the original DayZ experience.

thank you Vehicles must be saved manually (while normally it is automatic) How should I do?? You know how to increase the loot and vehicles?? Otherwise when you get hit by a zombie to bleed very often there is a setting to How to do? And last my server is set to Regular how to put it easier Merci Les véhicules doivent être sauvegardé manuellement (alors que normalement c est automatique), Comment je dois faire ??? Tu sais comment augmenter les loot et les véhicules??? Sinon quand on se fait taper par un zombie au saigne très souvent il y a un réglage à faire Comment faire??? Et dernier point mon server est régler en Regular comment faire pour le mettre plus facile
