I'd post this in Private Hives but i'll just get spammed with completely random servers. Can anyone from experience recommend a good, passworded or policed whitelisted server with a high population in the UK/EU with active admins? My group have now tried over 15 since July and encountered the following issues.. - First issue...The big high population servers - AWA 1/2, UK#10 etc still has hacking. Within 20 minutes on AWA 1 my friend had a heli attack him in the dark + middle of nowhere. When mocking their aim on side chat, he got teleported then killed. Too many tl;dr hacking moments on these...Thats ignoring the Barbed Wire/Sandbag/Tank Trap/Tent spam in every major city. Also I've found every high pop attracts the most immature players... - Second issue is also commonplace. Having great gear, camp, couple vehicles set up - but literally no player interaction for days as there's usually 0 other players other than one or two and the admins. - Same as above, but slightly more players 5-10 but with your standard admins who use every trick in the book aka spectating other players, using rcon to listen over direct chat (i've had admins abuse this when talking to randoms or complaining about the admin abuse and being banned before I knew what admins could see, next thing I know I get ''we can see this you prick, we pay for this server so leave we don't care'' attitude. Also restarting server for ''unknown'' reasons, actually banned for killing them etc. Spawning in helis at will, Weapons for friends/people who suck up to them. Also spawning in tons of vehicles and satchel charging them etc - I know they pay and it's ''their'' sandbox, but why advertise and reach out to legit players? Halp? I want to enjoy the mod for the rest of it's now short lifespan it has left, but no matter where I go I run into these issues.

Hi wondering if anyone can shed some light on this, our server is not re-spawning its vehicles running 1761 public hive, any suggestions?

There's no point in hiding gear/vehicles in already known spots, as they will more than likely get stolen and/or destroyed fairly quickly.

I have just recently bought a server and i was wondering if you guys would want to join?

I have been playing DayZ since the mod came out. I have searched high and low just like many of you, for that perfect server. One that promotes teamplay, has active admins who care about the player base, a great forum to post ideas and improvements, despise hackers and rid the server of them fast....well TeamPlayerGaming is the server that has all of this. There are no fancy bells and whistles about this server. It is set up as a stock Panthera server and that is exactly the way the player base likes it. We all enjoy playing DayZ the way it is supposed to be played, without 1000 vehicles, a boom cannon with a thermal scope, and F-18 planes flying around. No, this is a survival game and we are the survivors. We have a great TeamSpeak community and we have our bandits and our heros, so there is a great amount of action each night as we hunt each other. Be sure to check this server out. It's worth your time.

I have been playing on this server for a few days now and I love it. Lots of vehicles, but most need a little fixing so it isn't super easy which gets boring. I have found some of the doghouses, there are 2 different types of dogs, THEY KILL ZOMBIES and ATTACK OTHER PLAYERS WHO SHOOT YOU!!!! The towing is cool, you can lift any vehicle with hueys, so moving your camp after its been discovered is a bit easier. Auto-refuel, awesome. The snow and wind effect is pretty cool. It stays pretty bright with a mostly permanent full moon at night. But you get NVG's anyways so doesn't matter if its dark or not. Everyone seems pretty cool in the server, most seem like regulars, but it could use more people for sure. This biggest thing that I love though are the AI. There are different factions running around the map, some are friendly with you and some are not. Some of the AI arent even soldiers, they look like a group of other survivors....it's so scary running through the woods, and seeing another "player" and stalking them only to realize there are like 5 other "players".......it's then you realize it's AI survivors and they want you dead and want your stuff. Some of the AI can drive cars and get into heli's and fly around...one faction didn't like the pilot of the chopper i was in and totally shot the huey we were in down...hahaha it was so intense. CHECK THIS SERVER OUT!!! Great for experienced players and great for noobs...

I like the idea of zombies in cars from when they were infected - but just sitting there doing nothing. Or else just have them be completely dead. Entering vehicles / driving seems like it gives them too much intelligence.

The most notable thing is that they removed all thermals, you need to boil water, more vehicles and weapons, and toilet paper and razors (No uses BTW)

Another worry, If I can wax hypothetical for a while . use predefined "base" areas to store vehicles and gear and go offline for the night . others know EXACTLY where you've stored your stuff, and simply take it. Unless you have enough of a "society" to occupy your base constantly, it's better to not be restricted in placement. Even if your crew were online 24/7, do you think they'll want to be standing watch incase someone walks in and robs you? At least any invaders should have to FIND your base first. Hit the nail on the head.For trade/medical posts, you're getting WAY ahead of yourself. It's simply not feasible. How often do announced gatherings (for any reason) manage to occur without being attacked? The answer is never.

Elite Vikings! Come check out our server. We have at least 300+ vehicles on the server at any given time with custom vehicle spawn points. Fresh vehicle spawns every server restart. We also have friendly admins who monitor the server 24/7. We do weekly scavenger hunts and the winner gets the vehicle or weapon of his or her choice. Noob friendly! Detailed server statistics Custom loadouts Check out our website for this weeks scavenger hunt. http://www.elitevikings.com Roadhouse Party!! Let's get the party started. Join server and invite friends. Once the server gets 20 active players in game we will begin giving out free items. The more people that join the more items we will give out!

The player skin system is flawed. Badly, badly flawed. You can't judge a person by what they're wearing. I've seen a lot of people in hero suits that KoS like the one you described, and I've also seen bandits that hand out free guns/vehicles and such. It's too much trouble to maintain survivor status when everyone's out to get you. But again, almost everybody will kill you for your beans, your hatchet, or just because they think they can't trust you. If you come across someone who doesn't attack you immediately, try to look past the clothes they're wearing. These outfits merely tell a story. Was the person in a firefight recently? (Bandit skin on a Hero) Did he/she go on a raid, and have to heal fallen comrades? (Hero skin on a Bandit)

I really enjoyed the story. Great work. I too play the mod in a similar fashion. Meeting other survivors is where the true beauty is in this game. I don't play the game for the loot. Sure I need a backpack, some med supplies, and a weapon. But after that anything is just an upgrade. When I play with others that I do not know I am usually fine with them taking any and all loot that they want and I will take what is left. It's amazing what you get in return...heli rides, vehicles, weapons, and perhaps even one more person who has better feeling towards others. I have actually had people recognize my voice in direct from players I had played with who were currently with their squad. It has gotten me out of a couple tricky situations.

ooo not TV, following TV advice will get you killed. I would like vehicles etc to have different penetration values depending on location though and remaining mostly intact rather than them just brewing up after a few hits. I also dislike "map only" artifacts like burned out cars which are immovable and static. But I'm sure there's a good technical reason behind them. Rgds L

Here it is my second DayZ helicopter montage featuring one of my all-time favorite helicopters: the huey! It features formation flying with 3 hueys, low level flying and in-flight combat with other helos or ground vehicles. This is a rather short montage compared to and I've tried to improve the sound by scrapping the original DayZ huey sounds and replacing them with some more realistic ones.I hope you guys enjoy it and I'd love to see some feedback on this!

As for your idea of a something like a heli crash, have random static cars spawn like how heli crashes spawn, but along the road or very near to them. Civillian-Random Civi car (Ural, skoda, ect) cars that have more gear than normal (non immune people trying to escape), have a high chance of a civi gun, low chance of a military gun, a box of canned food and box of med supplies, as well as 1-4 zombies spawning near the wreckage. Military- Random Military vehicle (UAZ, Camo Ural, etc), pretty much the same as a heli crash, 4-14 zombies spawn (depending on vehicle), Gear would range from Metric Shit Tonne (larger than an Imperial Shit Ton) of ammo, some of the 'rare' military guns, as well as food (MREs) and meds. Another Idea based off yours (but more serious) would be zombies trapped in random vehicles (seatbelt). They can only damage you if your close enough to them, but they could 'call' other zombies to them if they become aware of you.

Here's a question I have after watching a bit of the video again: It's mentioned that the wrecked vehicles will have doors and boots that open and close... Will they be able to provide cover - meaning can I open a door to provide extra cover from enemy fire? And will the regular vehicles also have opening and closing doors that could be used the same way?

A group of us got together to start a server due to the abuse of admin powers and tent duping. Our server is fresh only a few week old with custom vehicles and helis around the map. We have included scripts which enable vehicle part salvage, autorefuel, and a custom Ai military spawn . These Ai patrol the map with rare loot in their gear. Have to find them to get it. Heli crashes and loot tables have also been tweaked. Included on the military units are nonspawnable loot including the m4spr and scar h variants. These ai run in squads and are very difficult. We have begun editing Cherno and a future active military base inspired by Salvation Island. So join us to help us improve our server. We have multiple admins who are friendly and readily take suggestions about the direction of the server. We have a teamspeak available for server talk in addition to side chat. 50.97.49.67 port 3000 Teamspeak chicago2.voipservers.net:10010

Server has been patched as we were running an out of data arma version. We have also started to introduce the following:- Extra vehicles and some banned ones too. Started to add base camps to the map.

Been awhile since I updated this thread so I figured I'd stop in and drop a couple lines. Server is up to date DayZ 1.7.6.1 I have added AI to the map, AI controlled survivors & bandits Several new vehicles have been unbanned and added (MH60S & MTVR for example) Server population has grown steadily in the past couple weeks avg 23 players nightly In other news our donation perks are doing well and I can proudly say thanks to our community WarMachine Gaming isn't going anywhere anytime soon. We have also begun hosting a WasteLand server for Arma 3 Alpha. Looking forward we will be launching more Arma 3 servers, still in the planning stages but we will keep you in the know. Please join our website for all the lastest happenings at WarMachine Gaming

The current way to fix vehicles is to ensure you get in as the Driver first. Same for refueling.

Wouldn't random zombie crashes have to be scripted? I think artificial events is kind of against what makes DayZ great. Although I think that zeds spawning in vehicles is cool, especially if they were skinny as if they had been trapped for a while and slightly quicker than your standard zeds. I know this is a bit off topic now but mentioning the military zeds it would be nice if they received protection from their helmet or whatever gear they had.

To start off you need to find a good server, now by ALL MEANS do not join a server advertising "Apaches, 600+ Vehicles" or any bullshit like that, find a good hardcore server, something with low vehicles, you want the true DayZ feeling, not an Arma feeling. Quite honestly i couldnt reccomend an exact server, but avoid the servers i described the best you can. Ill look around and see if i can find a good server for you. Edit: After five minutes of searching i found this, these guys look like good admins, and 42 vehicles is still pretty high from the original vanilla DayZ buts it probably the lowest you will find anywhere now a days. But get whitelisted on this server and give it a shot! http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/91062-gb-wireworld-game-studio-cafe-and-bar-176-community-hive-testing-server-whitelist-only/

Added Custom Skins, 2 Ghillie variants, 5 Soldier clothing variants, 3 Camo clothing variants, all are lootable Added Custom Vehicles, AAV (LVTP-1), BTR90 HQ, LAV25 HQ, BTR60, AH11 Wildcat, UH1Y Venom

You can only repair vehicles, not build them from scratch, they can be found at various locations throughout the map, mainly based around areas with buildings. There is a website called DayZ DB (DayZ Database) which gives you default spawn positions of vehicles, however this can be modified on private hive servers, so the spawn points may vary. If you find a vehicle you will need to assess the current damage, each broken part will need different items. First you will need to find a tool box to begin repairing, if the engine is broken you will need to find engine parts to repair it, fuel tank parts to repair fuel, glass to repair glass, scrap metal to repair the body and a wheel to repair the wheels on the vehicle. You can find all the parts required for fixing a vehicle in industrial buildings (if you're unsure of what buildings are industrial use DayZ DB). Helicopters also spawn in DayZ, as they're freshly spawned they will need every part repaired or the fuel will leak out. In every vehicle (except bicycles) you will need a jerry can full of fuel to put it in the vehicle, if you find a jerry can and don't know where to refuel it, use DayZ DB once again to find the closest refuel spots. I hope I helped.
