Optimized-ArmA2OA 2013-04-07 02-05-06-15.bmpAfter weeks of sifting through endless servers and getting sick of Admins taking advantage of their powers, we have decided to host our own server! As admins we (Mander and Rave(Raveypoopoo on OpenDayZ.com)) want things to be on an even grounds for everyone (including us) so like everyone else we have started from scratch(no custom bases, spawning vehicles etc.) We will avidly maintain this ideal of fair play throughout your/our DayZ experience while trying to enhance it as much as possible. But don't get us wrong, don't follow the rules and we will do what we must because we can. The rules are as follows: - All standard etiquette applies (No hacking etc.) - Please don't use voice on the side channel. (Emergencies aside, keep it to text) - Combat logging against players will be punished if caught. (Please report players doing this to an Admin/Mod) - Using the M107 for PVP is forbidden until it is fixed. (It will be deleted from your inventory if you do) As you can see, rules are set to enhance a proper DayZ experience instead of hinder it. Alongside a level playing field we have also implicated several mods to make things more interesting. Mods are as follows along with a screenshot: - Custom Toggleable Debug - Custom Auto Refuel - Custom Crash Site System - Advanced Kill Messages (that don't reveal the killer's name!) - Enhanced Study Body - Fast Roping - Custom Care Packages - Street Lights - HALO Jumping We have balanced everything to the best of our abilities but if you join and feel somethings are out of whack we are always reachable and open for suggestions. We will do our best to work with our community to make everyone as happy as possible. Our numbers are a bit low right now so be if you are interested please be patient as we are confident in our ability to expand. If you would like to try it out you can simply filter for the word "Burgess" or add our IP: 173.192.200.76:3391 We hope to see you on soon, don't hesitate to ask any questions! It is easiest to reach Rave or me on skype. Mander00 or Ravefighter666 P.S. There are plans of implementing more things as we grow and progress, such as PVP events. If you have any ideas that you would like for us to consider you know where to find us.

Come one come all to a very fun DayZ server... We have anti-hacks and a team-speak server online now. We have 3 factions currently N.A.T.O. (Basically U.S. Military in charge of controlling hackers and bandits), Vendors (The Server traders), Rebels ( A force dedicated to fight N.A.T.O. and survivors). We have custom bases under construction. The trade post is between Cherno and Balota. If you want to start a faction have 5 people ready to join and ask Lally the General of NATO we will supply a base and gear and vehicles. Tell them Clayton sent you. Just type "Gamer Lounge" into the host filter in Arma.

Hi, just got this 50 slot Taviana server and i'm looking for people to join it. It's a basic server with custom load out (no guns, just hatchet, food,water, map and compass) and shed loads of vehicles. Testing the server today me and my friend saw 4 hueys at one airport so plenty of fun to be had. We're just looking for friendly people to join this fresh server. To get on the white list all you have to do is post your in game name here and try to join the server. The server will kick you but your name as long as it's the same as you post here will be recorded and i can add you. It uses an auto white list feature so no need to find your GUID. I probably won't have time tonight to check if anyone's interested but tomorrow morning i should and i'll white list those that want in. Still a little unsure what to do about the time setting because i don't want 24/7 daylight but i'll sort something out. Thanks for your time.

well custom loadouts are purchasabe, you can buy like ghillie suits and stuff im pretty sure, but just when spawning regularly you get a makarov and a map thats about it, hosting location tbh idk i just know its somewhere in the USA im on the east coast and i get pretty good connection. and their are custom buildings. alot of added in barracks and stores. also more spawn points for vehicles.

Custom Load-outs... Donator bases... extra vehicles ... Repair stations... Refueling stations.... There is NOTHING "Simply DayZ" about this server pal.

All the weapons i have listed are weapons that you might find in russia. And it's not about being a Bambi... If you dare speaking with such arrogance is because either you always play in a group, either you stay hidden in the forest 24/7. And of course, you can look around when you are a 1 hour spawn without binocular mister "please team, come pick me up with the heli near elektro cause i got killed"... In the current mod, if you are alone on a 30 players server, you get killed in less than 5 hours unless if you stay in a tree... but a quick look in your sig and i see EXTRA VEHICLES, you are probably a guy who plays on idiot 400 vehicles servers and shoot on sight even on Bambis (cause Bambi means unarmed and not noob). Also, for info, the weapons i have listed are not more military weapons as they are not used in any army anymore, they are used for hobbies (collecting or shot schools) and you won't find them on any warfield (unless AK variants in poor countries...).

That sounds like a bloody awesome idea evil, running the event code all the time. Also I'd like to point out I love what you have done with the heli crash sites. I've gone from never ever finding one to a good chance of finding one with a hour or so of wandering. Makes for a better game. That and the extra number of vehicles Is a big improvement over standard. For at least somewhere to stash your kit before an event. Everyone needs a vehicle :)

I'm getting kicked at login for script restriction #253. Any idea whats causing that? I never understood the whole dogs thing but I guess some people like them. I do like riding on the backs of vehicles though so I'd be sad to see that go. Street lights would be a nice addition and towing would be sweet.

I thought we would put Stockholm into DayZ for once. Stockholm (The area I painted out) is about 187km² So a little bit bigger than chernarus. The island is filled with not only buildings, there are big forests in many areas, and has 1 big airport. There is one island maybe as big as Utes right on the coast. Map = http://i.imgur.com/8Gb1uYN.jpg Do you think this would be a great map? On this map there's not only "being on the coast, or being in the woods" like in chernarus. Since there are smallers cities everywhere around the map. You do not have to run so far just to get to one place since all cities are pretty tight and would cause pretty cool PvP fights everywhere. And as I said there are many big forests to create camps in and keep vehicles.

I threw together something for my server that ranks survivors on our website. Figured "why not?" since I could easily pull information out of MySQL. So the URL is here: http://blazeitgaming.com/dayz/ Example of profiles: http://blazeitgaming...php?id=88021126 and http://blazeitgaming...php?id=87983046 Some of the features: Rank users by their "Humanity" (color coded) Display users currently online Overall stats: total vehicles, total unique survivors, survivors online today, deaths today, average lifespan. Individual profile pages Show humanity (ranked by bandit, unfriendly, neutral, trusted, hero, legend.) Display stats: zombie kills, bandit kills, player kills Death and current life history Average lifespan Badges (as a way of rewards) Headshot percentage If a person has a custom loadout, then they are considered VIP (donator). So their profile page has the VIP badge. It is setup to assign other badges (founder, admin) to accounts. If anyone is interested in the source code, just post below. If there is enough interest, I might release this next month when I get it finished up.

Byff's Blogz day#17 I've sorted out my stuff into - Food/Meds, Fuel/Repairs and Weapons. Each group has it's own vehicle which gets used depending on what I find while scouting the map. I also have two tents set up now with starter equipment - matches, hatchet, knife, toolbox, weapons, food etc etc... on the East and West of the map. It's taken a lot of running, but I've also moved all my vehicles down to the coast for new spawns to find - they'll still have to look for them, I'm not offering them up on a plate like parked on the road between Cherno and Elektro. I've only kept 2 SUV's and a Landy because they're my favorites. I also repaired an ATV and was moving that to the coast when the ATV leap of death occured while driving over a bridge. I am fully aware of the whole flip glitch for these things so I'd slowed right down to under 20kph but it still shot over onto it's side. I jumped off and tried the new "unflip" option when my character went "hurugh!!!" and the ATV shot into the air. I backed off wondering where it would land when WHAM! it appeared right next to me and exploded into a ball of flame. Dead. Respawn point wasn't too far off so recovery wasn't too much of an issue, but I'd really wanted to try and make this character last for a few days, grow old and turn into an OAP. So as I was a brand new character, I thought I'd try target practice. I'd deliberately agro and bunch of zeds and try to kill them. Needless to say, my shot still needs lots of practice and I'm getting pretty good at recovering my dead body when it all goes wrong.

You'll want to stick the public hive. To play on the official public hive, just check the "hide unofficial" in your browser. All these server will have basic starter gear (bandage, painkillers, patrol pack), normal amount of cars, and all that jazz. Also with this public hive, your can change between these servers and your same character will load in, with the same gear and position as before. It's only private servers that have their own hives and feel the need to start fresh spawns with the most random gear. As for a camp, and I assume you mean storing gear somewhere that's not on your character, you'll need a tent or a vehicle. Vehicles are obviously more useful, but tents are harder to find and can't be driven away by looters...yet. Tents can be found in any residential building, but have a higher chance of spawning in supermarkets. Vehicles spawn all over the map, but must be repaired and fueled. Once placed, a tent is tied to the server, meaning if you log in to a different server, it won't be there, but on the server you placed it on. This also means the tent (and vehicles) and your gear exist in the server 24/7, and other players can find it and help themselves to your gear. So be sure to hide it well.

I was thinking about how loot is spawned in DayZ and how you can so easily find high level loot just by going up north, and how you are pretty much guaranteed food or drink if you walk into a supermarket. Some suggestions have been made such as removing the higher end military weapons or making loot not respawn. These have their flaws, but I think the direction they try to move the game in is appropriate. The apocalypse should be a time of hardship, scarceness, and famine. I've got a couple of ideas for changing the way loot spawns and respawns to create more of an impoverished and desperate aspect to the game. Or, at least high end weaponry to ensure that they are not available for everyone. My idea is to treat weapons the same way as vehicles, so that there are a set number of them that can be spawned on the server that do not respawn until the current one despawns. No matter how much the spawn rate for weapons is decreased, it is still entirely possible to stockpile 10 .50 cal rifles in your camping tent if you are patient, thorough and lucky, with the way things currently are. With the suggested method, the availability of guns can be changed to create a different experience. And the same could be done with all loot. Food doesn't respawn until it is used. This could make it very difficult to come by food, which I think is appropriate for an apocalypse scenario. There would be no source of food, other than hunting. Now, I'm sure my idea is not without its flaws. That's why I urge you to share your thoughts and criticisms here to see if this feature is something that is worth implementation. Thanks for reading.

this sounds legit.... You banned the OP + his mates because they disturbed the peace on a (pause for effect) DayZ server. Not only did your admins bait them into a war they used hacked weapons and removed their vehicles, but you then banned the players that were playing on the server legit. I will end the comment there no point in completely ripping your argument apart any further, OP request a blacklist on this server as it sounds like a admin rape fest on any poor sod that wants to play the game. CaltexRN in future if you decide to get another server after the (fingers crossed) demise of this one choose your admins better.

I've played on this server, and talked to some of the people involved on mumble previously, and was there when hungryhippo was on the other day - I mentioned that it was nice that vehicles don't show up on the map, and he mentioned that they show in admin maps, which is true. Amusingly, the heli I found was gone when I logged back in. I've played on another one of the syndicate's servers and found the admin partially named here to be fair and helpful, however, as I stated in game, admins with admin tools/rights/power also playing on the server = inevitable admin abuse. There is just too much emotion invested too often for power not to be abused, and the temptation is too great.. The Syndicate has a nice idea going, setting themselves up as mercs; the obvious conflict lies in the fact that players can pay them (in game, of course) for hacked in vehicles, weapons, etc., but more importantly, if a player (say a bandit, for example) pays the syndicate to assassinate a particular player or clan, they can simply use the admin map to locate that player, and it's done - so they have multiple vested interests in abusing those capabilities. Now to be clear, I don't think that has ever been the intent on their part, but as soon as C explained this to me on mumble one evening, I thought "well, that's going to lead to problems." Admins should never be players unless they have a firm understanding that their playing role and admin role are entirely disconnected. If the syndicate wants to set up shop as a merc clan, you need to be either very strict with ZERO tolerance for use of admin tools and/or powers, or play on a server where you don't admin, pool your resources, and leave everything else to fate. On a final note, everyone deserves a second chance. They have a neat idea, and a busy server. You have to expect people to gun for you, and have to be prepared for it.

[XK] After almost a year of playing Dayz I've found many amazing servers, but as amazing as they were they were always lacking in something that another server had or didn't have. At first it was all about getting a daytime server, then a well optimized daytime server. After that it turned into getting that with favorite settings. Then it turns into settling for a server that has all the right things but maybe has something off putting like admins that horde vehicles and such, or use a pay to win structure I.e; Payed custom loadouts (game breaking). So, after lots of research, myself and a group of close clanmates with years of hosting experience decided it was time to start our own DayZ server with all the most favorite perks of popular servers but without any experience breaking features, and admins that actually understand how frustrating it is when the game glitches and you get spawned in the sea or lose your loot you spent hours or days getting, so we save many backups and keep multiple logs showing different information to help these players get back what they've lost. Please help us in populating this server and keeping it alive, it can be found @ 173.192.200.117:3187 http://www.xkclan.com| TS: xkclan.com:1337 - Private Hive // XK (WhiteList enabled) - 50 Slot - TimeZone Offset = GMT-6 (This gives us daylight during the peak times) (Plus USA players can play with daylight) - US Server - Hosted in D.C., USA - low ping & high spec dedicated server box - Auto Restarts every 2 hours from 00:00 GMT. *NOW WITH COUNTDOWN WARNING MESSAGES* - Destroyed Vehicle Cleanup and Creation scripts are run automatically on every restart - 6 Flyable Helicopters (Includes 1 APACHE) - 6 Flyable Aircraft - Triple Vehicles - Random lootable Heli Crash sites - lootable Military Crate's *NEW* - Regular - Nameplates = OFF - Waypoints = ON - Crosshair = ON - Peripheral Vision Guide Dots = OFF - 3rd Person = ON - Side Chat = ON - Custom DayZ Code - Death Messages including murder weapon - Heli Lift - New Anti-Hack - Optimization Script

I think solo is one of the most fun ways to play. Playing with a friend or two is also great, but when there are more than about 3 players attempting to work together, communication can get a bit difficult unless you have a rigid chain of command. As a beginner I would stick to low population (<20), night time official hive servers. This is a great way to learn the game solo as you can really take your time, learn the map and reach a ripe old age. However you will never get good until you start fighting players and getting frequently killed. Every death will teach you something in DayZ. I find that private hive servers with hundreds of vehicles and open side-chat cheapens the experience somewhat, but it's still fun in a different way.

This why the radios must pickup all ambient sounds, vehicles gunshots zombies etc, otherwise its going to be a sorely underused feature.

people might hoard the good weapons, and as soon as they got the maximum number of a certain weapon type, hidden in a tent somewhere far away, they will be the only ones with these guns... people will exploit this idea, exactly like they do with vehicles, although atleast those are less easy to hide.
