If you dont mind, let me share an experience with you. So after about a weeks worth of playing, I find a corpse in the tower in the middle of NWA. When I looted them, I got a NVG, M9SD, M4A1 Holo, Coyote backpack, Rangefinders, GPS ETC. I sprawled around chernorus (Not chernogorsk) alone, going through most major locations. Being a survivor type, not a settler, I didn't go find any vehicles, but just ran around collecting ammunition etc, and found 15SD clips, I hid somewhere in the big bad dark woods. I went to go bambi hunting (The competitive no-gear hunting kind) That you despise so much, and decided Komarovo would be the best place to start. So as I go in the building, it was already filled with corpses. Someone had a war here, and quickly I discovered I wasnt alone in the building. I disregarded my bad intentions, and asked nicely (X4) for them to just come out and I wouldnt hurt them (I was serious about that). They stayed in a corner, with an axe so I sidestepped in and shot an entire clip in them (Sorry, but I cant trust an axe guy, whos unresponsive, obviously waiting for me, blocking my way to the roof and lastly in a building full of corpses.) I saw a bandit run by, (probably did some killing himself) and decided not to shoot at him, but rather to take some zombies off of him. He ran off, and seemed to be going a big circle seeing as he was going back from heading to balota (within 3 minutes) back to Kamenka. As I was shouting for him to come here, a bambi came by, and I ordered him to go upstairs. and I decided to give him my M9SD (put it in a zombie) So as we go down (Was gonna leave him, just wanted him to have a silent gun) he starts bleeding and I bandage him. As I go down he ACCIDENTLY <<< Note; this was a good guy and a sure accident- hits me with his M9SD once, while a zombie is down the ladder while im climbing) or the zombie did it. I decided to ask him to do the humane thing (Out of bandages) and just pop a cap in my skull. After refusing for about 3 minutes I convince him to just go behind me and shoot me, and keep all my gear. He does, and I never saw him again. Went looting afterwards, found a M4A1 CCO SD, M9SD and camo clothes, within 4 hours. Karma still exists guys, and even though it might just be a few lucky spawns (Still had a tent with 15SD clips, had a day of fun before abandoning all these items in a tent) helping a different group out. For every ammount of assholes, theres good people like me aswell. Just think in their perspective too, been playing for 1?-2 years, shot a hell of a load of zombies, and sometimes boredom makes people jerks. I would personally not shoot anything that isnt armed and "has ideas", sometimes a little sport aswell (Gear vs enfields) but surely, good guys like me take out the bandits either ways. If you dont like the bullshit, I got a good whitelist server you might want to check out. Hacker free zone, and people are pretty friendly :) P.S I agree with the topic fully, dont get me wrong. Have a nice experience, and happy hunting guys.

My server has custom scripts and added vehicles and I notice very little lag.

Dear DayZ Community & DayZ Developer(s), I have only been playing DayZ for a couple of days now (with a couple of clan-mates, they have been playing much much longer than I) But, even though I never installed and played DayZ I have kept up with it since the beginning(just never got around to installing ARMA 2 again) So, Finally having installed ARMA 2-CO and installing the mod and playing it with my friends. and, me being such a avid survivalist fan as well as a Zombie fan. I have a couple of suggestions and would like to hear your take on it. I will bullet point each one and would like a discussion on each one if possible? Making Objective specific places: For Military Equipment(Choppers,Tanks,APC's, .50cals,ammo) in Military Bases(instead of everywhere) As well as Civilizan Sided things Supermarket for Food/batteries/etc.. Hospital for Medicine/Food/Tape/etc.. FreeTowns: Randomly generated towns with AI & Player security that are NO-FIRE zones(but, can be attacked both by players/zombies) that you can go into and buy equipment from both players camped there or AI that was sold the equipment/food/drink/etc.. Also, allowing the implamentation of a Bounty system by having a Bounty wall. (there is no prison in town. you get bad with the players you go to the wall and get taken out/killed by whoever accepts and they get the currency awarded) Currency: Maybe doing some sort of Currency or "Barter" System where say a shotgun is Worth 3 Cans of Food or 2 bottles of clean water or 1 morphine syinge. Military Vehicles: Choppers,Tanks,Armored Cars or Personel Carriers: Would go with Objective Specific Places Civiliian Vehicles: Choppers,Planes,Cars,Trucks,Boats Modifyable Vehicles: The Ability to find parts such as barbed wire and place them on the sides of your car to rip and shred both humans and zombies as you nearly miss them or, being able to put steel around windows of a car to help deflect(but only certian types of ammo/weapons) and zombies from killing you in your car. Safe Islands: Go to a island and rest from zombies. But, are attackable by boat or players to fight over. Camps or Fortresses: You can outfit with Civilian or Military equipment that you found: Fences,Barbed Wire, Electric Fences(must have a generator/fuel/technical applitude) Harder to find food/water. I think it is to easy to find food or water in our current DayZ mod. Water Pollution: Some water can make you sick if you fill your cantena with it.. Diseases: You can get bitten by zombies(which you will get turned into a AI zombie after a period of falling down,and being a burden to your group) or Diseases from contaminated water or uncooked food or cut with barbed wire(only a chance) that you can treat with anti-biotics(that may or may not cure you) Suburbs: Actual ones, not just one house and then another house 300ft from it. I mean like 50/60 houses down one street. make some enterable. Defenses: regarding #12 allow you to board up houses or lock doors or closets etc.. Horde: Make a lot more zombies travel in packs. Night is Dangerous: Make it where Chem Lights only last a little while. Fire constantly needs wood to keep it going, Rain will extinguish fire and in the dark is when zombies are most active they have heightend senses such as deaf or blind people can smell or touch or even hear better. Groups: Make groups encourageable. it takes more than one too survive. But, it can be done Lone Wolf style.. it will be just twice if not 3x as hard. Raiding: Being able to Raid FreeTowns for what you need..if you can kill the AI or the Players that protect it Fire: Make it so that you can burn zombies or players or trees or houses or fortresses, and that players or zombies will be hurt if they stay in a burning house or camp(depending on how close the fire is or how it spreads) Sleeping: You need to sleep every so often if you do not you will end up passing out(which you can be attacked or die by a fire) till your sleep has recovered. (can be done offline or online in a tent or laying prone somewhere and pressing the sleep button) Tents: be able to make them off the ground too or put them ontop of a car(search google). Sleeping Bags: Same with sleeping make them hold less than a tent but ability to sleep anywhere and pick it up only take up 3? 4? slots. More Diverse bags: So many bags... both for hikers,campers,military and school. Need moar! DayZ Standalone ARMA 2 or 3?: I know it is not running on those but I mean what engine is it running? this hasn't really been answered. For now this is all I can think of.. but I will medidate on this later tonight and come back tomorrow and add to the list. Let me know what you all think. Sorry for spelling too.. not really awake atm. Take Care & God Bless SuperTine

tents/vehicles yes we could stick to that bases ...well i don't think so tbh

In the admin control panel you can see if someone has spawned in vehicles or loot. Also, if in a time frame of 10 hours, someone has an as50, NVG's, rangefinders, entrenching tool/toolbox, and several vehicles, they probably aren't legit. While it can happen, as50's, nvgs and rangefinders very rarely spawn together. Make sure you don't ban anybody without proof of some kind.

The Server name was changed after I kept receiving emails from players on other Bambi servers complaining about Hackers in those servers.... Wish I could of helped them but I offered them to come play Here. 50 Slot server - Time GMT-11 Chernarus More Vehicles & Custom Vehicles, not so much that they are everywhere. New players are welcome. Admins are friendly and will help any way possible. Server will have continued support, updates, and possibly other addon mods.

I think it would be cool to be able to lock a car door. Locking it would only be useful if all windows are fixed. To enter a car without being the player that locked, you would have to break a window causing an audible alarm. This would bring some depth to stealing vehicles, and the need of being extra fast. Of course there could be something like directly starting up the engine with a toolbox and so on, but I don't know if that's really necessary. But it could bring some fear to finding someone's car in a forest. Is anyone near? Will the owner know?

I sometimes play on a US dayZ.st server that is always full 50/50 and it's one of the quickest servers I've played on. I don't get any lag and I have 200ms + ping being in Australia. It has 300+ vehicles and new towns everywhere. Don't have the address handy, but it's a BhR clan server. Ill post it on here when I'm home. Soo idk what you guys make of that but I think it's unfair to say that DayZ.st servers are laggy when there is a perfect example of a good server that is under the most challenging environment and still performs excellently. Just saying

hi, We're hosting a DayZ public server and we had a guy there who joined our TS3. We know exactly that he cheated - he also told us... At first he spawned ammo boxes, vehicles and some other stuff - then he kicked all 36 players from our server. And in the end he destroyed a load of buildings. I'm sorry that we have no videos or screenshots of it, but it wouldn't help that much. Our Server: DE 870 ... Name: Medic GUID: eb31f07a90bc21fbaa0f12e61cf92d1a And seriously, it is the biggest shit ever that we can't ban players as server admins... (I understand why it is disabled, but it's really a problem) Why the fuck isn't it even possible to ban such kiddies only on our server?

...would rather turn up gamma than use light sources in the game. ...won't fire their weapons other than to kill another player. ...will run around with 16 cans of food and drink. ...will play on servers with name plates on. ...won't play at night. ...will shoot you in the back after saving them. ...won't leave the coast. ...hoard vehicles, but never use them. ...cheat like it was going out of style. and so on... =P

I'm not sure anyone read my suggestion in the other thread (no one replied) so i'll just write it here (and make it short). Basically the idea is to have servers that are active only one day a week (just a proposition). So you would play on that server just on fridays for example. And every other day that server would be inaccessible. So everything you did on friday is safe until next friday, whether it's your vehicles, your tents, some kind of base or a penis drawn with empty tin cans on roof of the cherno hospital. And since it's dumb for servers to be active only once a week, the idea is that the servers stay active every day but just to load a different state for an appropriate day. Just try to think for 5-10 minutes how would this work, and i'm sure you will realize many benefits from this system. I said i'll keep it short so i'm not gonna write some examples, but there are some in the other thread. The link is in the original post here. I would really like to hear some opinions on this idea.

The tents and vehicles exist on a single server only.

Hello fellow Dayz players. I have being playing on multiple servers to find the best one for me. i found a chernarus server with 250+ Vehicles which is brilliant if you enjoy cruising around. There is also a good chance of coming across a helicopter to for those pilot junkies. The best thing about this server is the players and the general community of the server. There are plenty of people willing to help out a fresh spawn, but beware not all players are friendly! The staff are great and will always ensure that the server runs well and that everybody is happy, They are approachable and are online most of the time. This server also has added buildings you have to look a little harder to find some of the but can be rewarding when you find them. This is just a small feature which makes the server that little bit better than the rest. The server during the week is eternal daytime for players who dont like the dark, but on weekends the server turns to day/night to get a good mix of players on the server. i mainly play on during the week when its day cause im not a night person lol. i really recommend this server for players and i give it a 8 out of 10 as a rating. This is the best server i have played on to date so heres the IP 185.2.139.156:3051

Thanks for the reply again Ersan, seems like the only place I can get any half decent reply, if any reply, is from you and it's here. I don't think my point was made clear there, admittedly yes, you have multiple customers to deal with at any given time, but each one of them customers has anything up to 50 people complaining at them, and hassling them to get the issues resolved, which in my case whenever I have contacted you guys, is to deal with an issue which is out of my hands. And regarding the comment about IRC, I was in the IRC whilst it was community support only, and was watching multiple users have technical issues dealt with there and then. (think it was the same day or the day after it went to community) I asked several times about an issue with my server, was point blank ignored until eventually Toker responded saying, that this is community support IRC, and then continued to help others with technical issues. That's a false statement. When I "was" running a popular server I was having 50/50 players on at anytime with major lag/desync. I had default mission files, server files, battleeye filters and no extra vehicles at all at the time. Everybody that I have spoken to whom rents a server from you guys has lag with over 30+ players online. The response I got in IRC from Toker regarding this matter was, "It's a mod, what do you expect." That statement itself admits that it's a know fact by even your IRC moderators that servers lag over 30 players. But the fact it's a mod shouldn't matter, the fact that you rent servers that aren't capable of being played on at over 60% capacity doe's matter. I'm not trying to tell you how to run a company, you guys have done an amazing job up until recently with the lag/support issues. But why doesn't support scale linearly with the rest of the company? That's preposterous. That's like saying, yeah, rent out more servers, and when the sh*t hits the fan we'll have to rely on the same amount of support. That effectively IS what you're saying. Why is this so? It seems to be a regular occurrence for people not be emailed back within 24 hours, I understand about your "lines of support" that you kindly posted the other day, but why don't you simply have the first line of support send an automated email back saying they're referring the issue to someone else if they can't solve it? That would help with customers temperaments tenfold. I fully understand IRC is not official support any more. My point about the IRC was made clearer above. But I still feel it brings bad repute on your company and unjust anger towards yourself when your moderators speak to people like dirt. I myself was banned from there for simply saying you need more support staff, not breaking any of the IRC rules stated. I did not swear and was not abusive in anyway, simply stating an opinion. And it seems this is not a rare occurrence judging by previous posts here. I've been happy with my server for months, and have no quims with any other part of your service. You're one of, if not the best hosts out there. I just feel that things have been slipping over recent weeks. And why should I lose my players and IP and go through the hassle of moving hosts because of this?

Hello I run a Whitelisted private hive server, I'm the only admin, and I admin more than I play, I'm very fair and try to help with the glitches.

If you have any other questions let me know

Guys, if you wonna play on this server, please whitelist here: http://balkanskilegioneri.com/dayz/en/index.php/whitelist Server is awesome. Lot of vehicles, 2000+ custom buildings, shop, dogs, apache, tenks and other...

Actually, I remember reading something about it being due to the way the zombie AI worked in arma2 can't recall where I read that at though. But what your saying is what I was thinking too all the stuff being spawned in + zombies vehicles etc.

IRC is not an official support channel. Nobody there is required to answer any of your questions and nobody is paid to be there, they are all volunteers. Also we have a lot more than one customer asking for support at any given time. Our servers are not laggy at 50 players using default settings. Custom scripts, hundreds of vehicles, objects and buildings, and most importantly excessive battleye filters doing logging can cause your instance to lag. Well, it isn't, sorry. If you feel that is unacceptable then nobody is making you stay with us, some of our competitors make more lofty tech support claims but ours are pretty clearly outlined. We have roughly 3000 servers and 10 paid support representatives. It was very easy having a live 24/7 support system when we were smaller and receiving very few requests. Tech support does not scale linearly like the rest of the company. Our claim is 24 hours, which we do generally maintain, and are proud of given the nature of hosting DayZ. Again, IRC is not an official support channel, I don't know how much more clear I can make that. And this is not the real world it is the Internet where people have no issue cursing, spamming, hacking or ddos attacking us and our employees when they don't get their way. If you want a polite, considerate response from actual staff you need to e-mail us. I don't answer e-mails generally, but I don't see anything particularly old in the inbox. Feel free to PM me your question directly on these forums and I will try to answer it.

ArmA II: Private Military Company and ArmA II: British Armed Forces are expansions which do add higher resolution on characters, items and vehicles. I use the expansions and it makes the game look better, I suggest using it. To actually play DayZ you only need ArmA II and ArmA II: Operation Arrowhead and that is all.
