Howdy, y'all. I've recently bought a private hive server and it's only been up for maybe a matter of hours as of this post. It has 250+ Vehicles and is an absolutely fresh, vanilla Taviana hive. You spawn with nothing but a bandage, painkillers and coyote patrol pack, just like vanilla dayz, and it is not a 24/7 daytime server. Me and friends have been hunting for a Taviana server that isn't "spawn with half of your equip, don't worry the earth's orbit been changed by the zombie apocalypse so it's always nice and sunny" server for a while now, and we've pretty much failed to do so... so we rented our own server! We figure, if we're interested in a server like that, then surely others are as well! IP: 192.31.185.205 Port: 3425 The server is based out of LA, CA for the time being. 250+ Vehicles, GMT-12, Regular Difficulty, Side Chat. Like I said, the hive is pretty much untouched. Vehicles just lying around waiting to be repaired, whatnot. Being a freshly made server, I figure it needs more players and a community to give me feedback and whatnot :) Let me know.

Seems the problem has fixed itself. Vehicles and tents now showing up again.

5th LAR: Fast. Deadly. Resilient. Brand new server looking to expand it's ranks! Start now and get in on the ground floor IP 208.43.9.85:3391 Looking for a Vanilla DayZ experience with plenty of loot? Look no further! Server is open! currently no whitelist to encourage players, once we get a solid base though will likely switch over for increased security. -Secure server- Protected by Battleye and Gotcha and most importantly active admins -Mature admins- No kid run servers with frivolous bans just because you killed the wrong person. If you kill an admin that's playing, expect a cookie, a GG and a price on your head- turnabout is fair play. -Increased heli crash sites- Since the most recent update, crash spawns changed, and many servers now have few if any sites with each restart- code changed with many more sites now available to loot -200+ vehicles- All repaired, ready to go -Custom Vehicles- No rMod required! Custom cars, helicopters and on rare occasions, high grade, fully functional military vehicles! Do not expect everyone to have an M1A1 however, as the great Ron Burgundy would say, "That escalated quickly." Expect brief stints with clan wars or as a reward for server events! -Easy refuel- No need to waste five minutes refueling a helicopter, custom script to allow refueling while in your vehicle as long as you're within 15m of either a gas pump or cylinder -Nighttime server- Miss sneaking at night to loot, or NVG firefights? Server is set to realtime GMT -9 with Full Moon Night every night! So even if you just respawned and you lost your NVGs, it's still easy to see and navigate but still get the nighttime feel(Willing to bend time if I get enough requests) -Custom bases- Custom designed bases scattered throughout the map to capture and defend! Much more to come!~ Server is brand new, still experimenting. Future possibilities include towing and lifting, server sponsored events- Hunt the Admin for prizes including high grade loot and custom vehicles, and much more! IP 208.43.9.85:3391 Forum soon to come as well as server teamspeak, for now feel free to message me about server issues, and sidechat for communication.

Also the new buildings seem to spawn loot, yet there is a disturbing lack of vehicles for my tastes. (Hate to pile on requests but this is my only dislike about the current state of the server)

Jump. I really hate it when I cannot jump in an FPS. To me, spacebar == jump. If WASD is cannon, then spacebar is jump. What if David Lee Roth starts urging me? Get it and crouch! Crouch! I understand some of the larger backpacks make jumping difficult, and this is a realistic sim, but... jump. Bust a move. I've seen the dancing dying death animations as done but the elisive but everywhere hackers. Yet saluting seems more silly than illustrating your friedlyness than busting a move in the apocolypse. Young MC would be proud. More vehicles! Scarcity encourages hoarding IRL, hacking (nee duping) in 'replicators exist' land. More vehicles == less shenanigans. If I have to learn another 20 keyboard commands to drive, let me drive. Ride them horses. Satifies not only more vehicles, but presents a unique vehicle that is refuled with water bottles and wood piles and has blood. Can kill for meat. Consider the dynamic. Fix the girls. No camo/ghillie? Are you nuts? Opt to spawn next to someone. If they kill you fine, but you could start with a partner too. Add your own really crappy idea!

Hello im one of the 3 admins on Dayz Special forces, We'd greatly appreciate it if you joined :] here are the server details. -Custom Buildings -Custom Vehicles -Nice Admins -Nice and friendly people -Custom bases(we change your tank trap, CAT wire, etc... into a small structure for you!) -Night/Day Cycle -Restart every 6 hours

Server just started yesterday, all fresh spawns are most likely still there for vehicles. It has a day and night cycle, with a active mod (and looking for more if people are interested.) Only one ~ two server restarts every 24 hrs so your game will be minimally affected. None of all that auto refuel and free weapons you have to earn it. Server name is: DayZ Chernarus standard (I know its such a small basic name unlike every other server) Server ip and port are: 199.217.115.199:2312 Feel free to use global and the such as you like

I was referring to the hiding body aspect. I generally don't destroy (situational) camps because i'll write down the location and use it as a supply depot later on. Besides, camps are generally out in the tree's, forests, hills. Bodies are generally in a town/city where it is easier to stumble across. Plus bodies are a lot easier to hide/destroy than camps are. Saturday on Lingor Island I came across a giant base in a military hanger with about 15 vehicles. They had a sniper on look out pegging anyone that got close. I spotted it from about 700m out before the sniper spotted me. Luckily he wasn't a great shot and he missed me, so I was able to escape. I couldn't get close to it at that point as they had more people around that kept running me off. After a while I had to log out. But when I logged back in the next day I was hell bent on trying to destroy all their vehicles. It was going to be fun! Sadly though, they had moved their base sometime during the night and they were no where to be found.

Those are not bandits, those a players confusing DayZ with a big fragfest. I only read enemy player, enemies, enemy vehicles...looks like Zeds really are just a side dish.

Yesterday I had vehicles and tents on my server and today none of them are being spawned. I have restarted my server several times now to try and get them back with no luck. Checking the RPT log file, there is no evidence that the tents and vehicles are being streamed in. Are any other public hive servers having this problem? Is it a known hive issue?

Actually, it's an Anti-Materiel-Weapon, designed to be used on vehicles, in contrast to anti-personel-weapons, designed to kill people. But in general it should be categorized with rocket-launchers, rather than sniper-rifles. That you can use these rifles with a backpack, something you can't in arma 2, makes them even more interesting for players to use. Imagine if you couldn't use a backpack using Anti-Materiel-Weapons or LMGs, like you can't in arma. I don't think they would stay as popular. Especially if you reduced the spawnrates for their ammo to something more realistic. Having 10 bullets for AS50 on a server makes it difficult to go on daily kill-sprees with it, but still make it a vital tool to get down enemy helicopters or to stop an URAL approaching your base.

I think a bandit stands for everything he does. Switching servers, changing names to avoid people knowing you are a bandit. Begging for weapons and cars, just to betray the people. Those are no treats of a bandit. A bandit has to honor the game. When he robs people, he lets them know he robs them. People who just want to piss others off are trolls and people who kill not to be killed themselves are cowards. The bandit doesn't shoot out of fear to be killed himself. The bandit does not fear being killed. The bandit thinks about creative and funny ways to rob and kill people. But he always trusts, that he is better than the others. So good in fact, that he doesn't need to cheat, to prove that he's better than everyone else. Depends on the camp. I looted some guys camp for more than a week once, before I cleaned out everything and changed the parking-spot of all their vehicles. Was a nice camp I made myself using their stuff... If it is some noobs camp in the forest, 1 tent, some basic gear in it.. why destroy it? maybe he thinks you won't come back and continues to put stuff in. But If it's the base of a very aggressive clan, you should look in the surrounding area if they have any extended camps as a backup. You wouldn't want to have them be able to use their backup-gear, would you :-D I also destroy camps if they have an unfair amount of cars there. I hate it when clans horde the cars in their camp and no one else can find one. But nothing the team of DayZ Horders can't fix.

Trying to get my server populated, We have a group of active helpful admins. Please join us at 50.97.82.3:3306

Hey guys! Geoffrey here, I came here today to talk to you about this awesome Lingor server I joined. It’s hosted by Mercykillers.eu (MK3) and has custom loot, buildings and vehicles! It is currently running the latest Lingor patch (1.3) and the 102591 arma 2 beta patch. The admins are really friendly, helpful and actually genuinely care for their server. Some of the perks of joining me on this server: • Custom loot such as g36s, lapuas, m24 desert and more! • Custom vehicles such as hmmvs , 2+6 seater little birds and C130J • Friendly community • A couple of bandit clans which ensures PvP • Fair Play (combat logging is not allowed etc…) • Custom loadout (soldier clothing+m9sd+basic equipment) Give this server a go! I’ve fallen in love with it, maybe you will too! :D Server IP: 91.121.148.210:2332

Sup. Pretty self explanatory, me and 3 other experienced players are looking for a whitelist or passworded server to join, UK preferably but EU too. Cherno map, not too fussed about loot tables/features however a few changes from vanilla would be welcome (more vehicles, but not like 150 tanks roaming around). 10+ players desired, we've geared up on so many hives that get like 7 people max and just us on a night with nobody else online - so a few players is a must. Thanks :)

I think that maybe something cool to include in the game would be the ability to band together and fortify a set area to make it safe assign watches "repair" buildings making them "livable" so people can store goods in a safe place and have a place to build vehicles and such. This would be really cool plus add to that "End of the World" feel needing people's help to survive and build towards a common goal, I was watching the walking dead last night and a man was walking on the road begging for help but they ignored him and i thought to myself what are you surviving for? To what end? Is it to just be alive or perhaps restart civilization? That is something that I think is to the core of survival. Maybe add a party system that ranks people re building the town or fortifying the castle as "founders" and only a vote between the leaders will allow entrance of new comers and maybe allowing the founders to set rules for their camps such as weapons are stored at the entrance and automatically re acquired when you leave or people are allowed to just do as they please shoot each other steal things, though evil or un favorable acts wouldn't go without some sort of negative or positive effect. I really think something like this will encourage more partying up and surviving together in the end of the world. You could also have bandit camps too for those who would live like outlaws at the end of the world and a raiding type aspect if people are in need of resources and decide to either band together or fight it out maybe also add some kind of construction type interaction with players to say build a system to transport fresh water to the camp get electricity going again. Things like that. Hope to see some of these ideas come to fruition. I LOVE DAYz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We have a private server its day 2 and no vehicles nor crash sites:( Can this be due to the mentioned issue here? Our host is NGZ-servers; any comments will be extremely appriciated...

More importantly, shooting IN vehicles. Carjacking anyone? 1. get in car with survivors 2. b passenger 3. shoot driver while going 100km/hr 4. ???

Hello! Quick question, what is the standard amount of vehicles available on public hives? I always see private hive servers advertising like 100+ or 300+, but I don't know what to compare that to. Thanks in advance

Well, technically you didn't address the last one, which, in my opinion is the most important one. Old players have no advantage over new spawns that happen to get lucky with loot. How is THIS realistic? Relying on the randomness of loot to determine who has an advantage in a firefight?? BUT an old player that has done nothing should not have as much of advantage as a semi-new player that goes on all sorts of foraging expeditions or has killed a bunch of zombies. I have played the game as is, and it is far to easy to loot farm, kill players rinse and repeat. Within a few hours of being on a server, my friends and I are at 'end game' meaning we have vehicles, tents, and more weapons than we could need. And guess what. We don't have to kill any zombies. BUT WE WANT TO. My God do we want to. But why should we? why should we shoot a zombie, waste ammo and alert people and the horde. Simply, there is no reason to. Arguing that this is not an issue is pointless. Frankly it detracts from the game. What are the point of the zombies anyway? It needs to be addressed and killing zombies needs to be a risk vs reward scenario. You want it to be about the player, but This is after all, a game. A game where you are playing as a character and, due to the nature, the survival of your character is IMPORTANT. Therefore, your character should be dynamic, changing and getting better. It shouldn't be as easy as 1. Spawn. 2. Acquire top weapon. 3. Acquire vehicle. 4.???

I would go on DayZ Commander, check the servers with 3rd person only, check the hide unofficial ones. And there you will find servers with no hackers, no abusive admins, banditry is a choice and no one can refuse to being shot. Also, in the public hives you don't get shit tons of gear or tons of vehicles. That's the best I can give you. Most people don't have the same taste in servers so finding a perfect one for you won't be easy. I suggest exploring and experimenting.

I stole one of my server admin's trucks yesterday in like an 8 man plan to kill me. They placed a truck in the middle of no where out of gas, but I zig-zagged to it and wasn't shot at so I started filling it hopped in and sped away. 4 DMRs started firing off at me and I sped away saying "Thanks". They all rage quit when further down the road their AS50 sniper failed to hit me as well. :P I'm actually 3-0 on stealing vehicles on that server from traps. 2 dirt bikes and the truck now lol. You did well, but that body bait was too much for you lol.

Yeah it doesnt work for us even after a restart of the server oddly. We're having to manually fix vehicles all the time in the DB :(
