(Credit to Sgt.Tonyvillers for the immage) Hello one and all. As the title states i play on a truly EPIC server that is looking for more players. The server i am referring to is the British Sargent's Mess Taviana server. At current it has a 40 player limit and is hosted in the UK ( we have players from all over the world playing and ping doesnt seem to be a problem). To find the server Server name: DayZTaviana - [bSM] British Sergeants Mess - (Version#No/Beta#No) (Care Pkgs, Wrecks, Remove Vehicle Parts, Flip ATV) IP: 109.169.20.162:2302 Just some of the AWESOME features of the server (done by the epic silverlight) and most are unique to this server (many have been copied now though) -> General: - Working debug monitor - press scroll lock or insert to toggle - Zombies and loot spawn while in vehicles - Wrecks and Care Packages spawn with loot - Custom camp randomly spawns with any type of item/weapon - Kill messages - Eating and drinking from tins/cans convert into empty ones - Smelt 4 empty tins/cans into Scrap Metal at a fire - Smelt 4 whiskey bottles into Windscreen Glass at a fire - Ground Fog between 1.30am and 3.30am - Snows when overcast, foggy and not raining -Base Building is now active. -> Combat: - Melee players/zeds - Press Ctrl+Spacebar or Shift+Spacebar (This will kill zombies and knockout players letting you search them and take their primary inventory) - Take clothing from dead players - Czech Vest Pouch is also an explosive vest -> Fun: - Chill out next to a tent - Dance and Exercise - Make a fire with wood and look at it - Ride animals and Steer them at Farms (scroll on the AI soldier) - Load animals into the MV-22 at farms for parachute drop -> Vehicles: - Remove parts from vehicles - Vehicles spawn with random loot and weapons, high value gear in military vehicles/planes - Auto refuel vehicles at petrol stations without leaving the driver seat - Rig vehicles with satchels to detonate on engine ignition - SUVs have Neon lights at night - Flip vehicle function (ATV/Bike) - Auto refuel vehicles at petrol stations without leaving the driver seat -> Air Vehicles: - HALO Jump from aircraft - Scroll mouse to open chute.

And a few other ones which ive yet to find ( i will update this as and when i find them) So, how does one go about joining this server do i hear you ask? Well the answer is simple and i will even do it step by step for you to get you started as soon as possible. Step One. Download DayZ commander. Step Two Once it is installed, click the INSTALL option at the top. On this tab, make sure you have the latest arma 2 beta and DayZ patches. If so proceed to step 3 Step Three On the Install tab, download the TAVIANA.COM addon/mod (Must be this one and NOT the .EU one). Step Four Go to the following site and apply for the white list http://www.britishsergeantsmess.com/ PLEASE NOTE! Once registered with your IN GAME username, please post your white list app in the white list sticky. To get to it simply go forums/public DayZ forums/ Applications Dayz White list. Now, in order to get whitelisted you will need Two things Your IN GAME name Your GUID. If you are not sure how to get your GUID then that is no problem. SImply log onto any server with Battleye enabled and type the following into the chat. #beclient guid Once this is done, your GUID will be displayed. At this point, i reccomend you take a screenshot of it (its quite long and is case sensitive). Once you have entered both of these things to your white list request its a simple task of waiting for a BSM admin to add you to the list. While you wait though, i STRONGLY advise you to read the rules at the following link http://www.britishse...x.php/sgts-code Also, you could log onto the BSM TS and introduce yourself to the other players that play on the server. The TS details are on the BSM site also. Finally I hope you find a find a good home on this server as i have done and remember UPDATE 22/04/13 Added: - Base Building. This requires an entrenching tool and a building material to access the menu when stationary. Buildable items include: Sandbags, Wire fence, Tank traps, Scrap Metal and Wood. - Active Combat System. You will be in combat nearly constantly (hence the solid combat icon no longer flashing). Moving, changing stance, opening gear inventory being near to zombies/players and all the default things such as shooting will put you into combat. - DO NOT LOG OUT in combat, logs are being kept of all combat loggers, the more hits you have the sooner you'll probably get booted. Wait 30 seconds and log out properly. - Rigging Vehicles with Satchel Charges are now persistent passed server restarts. You can rig a vehicle, log out and it will still explode. At last.

I recently started playing again and it is indeed true that the public hive needs a bit of love. If you can find a nice private server without all the BS (500+ vehicles etc) it is still great fun. It is only as fun as what you make of it though, as always.

I meant the thousands of cars just as an example which would only apply to NYC. Of course Chernarus is poorer and there would be way less cars but what I intended to say was that there should be more damaged but repairable vehicles... (which is sort of redundant because it has already been said)

They are completely redoing vehicles for the standalone, hopefully this includes them not exploding for no good reason.

Nothing on public hive, it's automatic. This option will only works on private hive. Since our migration to the new public hive and razor's fix for the vehicles, the cleanup is working again. And the AN2 is poping ;)

Still, something anti-vehicular is pretty much needed. Especially against helicopters with mounted weapons. I'm all for 50 cals if they have enough disadvantaged to be used as anti-material and 'situational' weapons rather than the be-all, end-all of all firearms in the game. The massively increased 'blood damage' number is, if I remember correctly, because vehicles use the same 'blood damage' formula. It needs to be excessively high because vehicles have a retarded amount of 'blood' to get through before they're done.

Wait. Wait. Okay, that's surprising after your other thread... anyways just one comment: The AS50 did waaay too much damage for a .50 caliber rifle, the M107 did the correct amount. The HS50 has a slightly longer barrel so it would have probably have a 60-80 fps gain. Taking a 750-gr A-MAX at 2,900 ft/s and rounding up, that turns into a maximum of just under 44,000 blood damage. .50 caliber rifles would have a hard time destroying vehicles in one or two shots. That's what machine guns are for... still, the gun has twice the penetration of other calibers so it would go straight through a helicopter cockpit or pop a wheel.

I want that weapon in the game, as well as a 'super high end' sniper rifle like the Steyr HS .50. Bolt-action, single shot, 50 cal goodness. Give it 200,000 damage on a bad day so that it can take out vehicles and helicopters (the AS50 does 174,000). The single shot, bolt action nature of the weapon would completely preclude it from being used against 'normal' targets except by people who really know their shit. It would take AGES to put in a new round and line up your target again. But for the really decent sniper, it could allow them a guaranteed OHK against stationary targets out to the max view distance. And it satisfies the 'anti vehicle' role while not being a 'super weapon' in that it would be better against infantry than any other sniper rifle.

What, so because the majority of players [a lot of casual players if I may say] don't want something/want something, it's not going to be implemented/will be implemented? Rocket wanted this game to be hard. That's what he says the Standalone will be. It should be as harsh as possible, and should not entirely cater to the "casual" players that want to spawn with gear, have a billion vehicles, etc. The hardcore players are what made this game so good [player-wise, of course].

Fine but I bet people who only know this DayZ (4854^45 vehicles "custom load outs"=m1911 at start, "custom buildings"= 56 barracks at Kamenka etc.) and not the vanilla will be the first to whine about it being hard when SA comes. I bet you my pants.

Yes, that is exactly what I'm saying. You should play differently. This is not a matter of different taste or different playstyles, this is a matter of the weapon that facilitated long-range engagement beyond 600 metres being removed from the game completely. It's like saying 'oh look, all the melee weapons have been removed' and you sitting there going 'well I'm still going to run at people and melee them ANYWAY' and me saying '... are you fucking stupid?' With no .50 cals, you are either going to have to A) change your gamestyle, or B) waste your ammunition hitting targets 4 times in the chest and watching them retreat to cover because you're deliberately engaging targets outside of the optimal range of the weapon. Yes, you can play any goddamn way you please. You can run around with a makarov. You can be a badass with a crowbar. You can kill zombies. You can kill players. You can use your fucking sniper rifle as a snorkel for all I care. But without 50 cals in the game, you cannot then sit there and say 'well I don't have a one-hit wonder wand any more, these guns suck at anything above 800 metres away' and then, when someone tells you, repeatedly, that your only option is to move closer, refute that by saying 'oh but that's not sniping'. When they remove the 50 cals you will have to play the game differently. Put a teaspoon of cement in a glass of water and harden the fuck up. The days of easy sniping beyond 800 metres are numbered. At least for now. I have no problem with long-range sniper rifles. So long as they're not game-breaking. The AS50 was the definition of game breaking. Super accurate at super ranges, a super long range scope, instant OHK no matter where it hits you, negligible recoil allowing follow-up shots from a semi-automatic platform, ability to accept two different types of ammunition, destroys vehicles, doubles as a close-range semi-auto assault rifle... and even though it's 'rare' over half of all people have one and at least 90% of the user base wants one because it's so ridiculously better than every other weapon. Yeah, and people wonder why I have a problem with the AS50. The problem I have with long-range, 'wonder wands' in Arma is that there's no skill to their use. Find the range. Push some keys. Put the crosshairs on them. Click your mouse. ??? Profit! And this problem was massively, massively compounded by the AS50, because it's a semi-auto OHK. And the Chernarus map itself is pretty much an open field with some tree cover every now and again. I've seen more vegetations in the arid countryside of Australia, AFTER scrub pulling for cattle grazing. A bolt-action lupua with an effective range of 1000M or so would be pretty nice. But it would still be abused. Skill + ability + practise >>>>>>>>>> game mechanics. And right now, game mechanics count at least five times as much as personal skill, ability, or practise. I just think that if you want to kill someone at 1000 metres, then you should be fucking good at the game. Not fucking good at combing loot spots until you find a rifle that does it all for you.

My review over this server. Well, this server is very great in every way possible. You have the amazing perks of having auto refuel, night street lights, and tow/lift commands. The auto refuel and tow/lift commands come into great use with building bases. Instead of loading into one vehicle, you can load stuff into 2 or more vehicles. You also don't have to find pesky jerry cans to fuel every time. That works great for choppers. The night street lights make the new spawns have an easier time finding materials and finding other players. Some of the houses are light up too. One of my favorite things about this server is the AI. The AI are very difficult to play against, (not just because of the veteran difficulty) and they have a lot of potential fun times. Instead of hunting people down, you can hunt some of the AI groups. But, be warned if you kill the hero AI then you lose humanity. The hero AI are amazing if you are starting out with no gun. They kill every zombie on sight, but they don't attack you. On the other hand you have the bandit AI. They will shoot you on sight whether you are looking at them or not. Trust me, I was running across the Northwest Airfield when a group of them murdered me. Finally, I can talk about the base building. The base building is a great tool for Dayz. You can set up your own area that can be protected against zombies and AI. This allows you to actually set up the base you wanted to since the first time playing Dayz. All in all, you have a game that reminds some of my friends and I of a newly apocalyptic time. Where you have the crazy wackos that kill on sight because they have gone mad and you have the millitary that is trying to help everyone. I very much enjoy this server's setup of Dayz and I hope you do too. BUMP!!! (lol)

List of skins: Expectations This server was started because I felt a lack of loot, customization, and variety in the DayZ Mod, DayZ+, and other mods. With Celle being my favorite map I felt that I could allow people to enjoy a new type of mod that is ran server side and therefore does not need to be downloaded by the clients (Think WasteLand) Donors: Stunner36 DerpyHooves (Kevin) KANGA Jim Rainbow Dash And to our clan leader! Foxhound (Twilight Sparkle) Possible updates - Client side ACE and JSRS - rMod2 Server is now running Celle How the Donation System Works -The Donation system is symple. You pay $5, 3.3 POUNDS,4.88 AUD or 3.84 EURO and you recieve a custom skin upon spawn, handgun of your choice, and recognition from me myself and the clan. -Later in the future donation rewards may include vehicles or bases. Donations go to [email protected]

Do you want the game to be about interacting with players and sneaking past zombies or having sniper duels at a thousand meters? I don't care that DayZ has geographically accurate weapons. I don't even care that they have anti-material rifles. But if you are going to have the benefits of a .50 cal rifle (range, instant death, destruction of vehicles) you need to have the weaknesses as well (heavy, bulky, can only be effectively fired from a prone position).

The server is a few weeks old. The vehicles have been found but all the spawn points are the original so they aren't hard to find. Especially since NCK seems to suck at keeping a vehicle in one piece. You shouldn't have that hard a time finding one.

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.

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

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 admins on these servers are rude, disrespectful, and will not listen to a word you have to say. i had an issue where in a server where there is no stealing, all my gear was stolen from my tents/vehicles and they even stole my vehicles. THIS WAS IN THE =FOX= member base!!! the gameplay is terrible as well. there are 2 zones for pvp and nobody is ever there!!!!! they expect you to only have 3 vehicles and a maximum of 5 weapons! WHAT THE HELL!?!? Long story short, dont join em.

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.
