In principle i totally agree, in an ideal world everyone would start off on an equal footing using only the game mechanics available. But you will never convince players to abandon 3rd party software like TS if that is how they want to play the game. I wouldn't call this cheating though. If i am looking for a server as a Lone Wolf i generally will pick one where there aren't too many clan members present. For example If i see 12 players with a [badAssKillerZ] name then i can pretty much guess they are all wired into TS. But then again sometimes it is a welcome change to be able to chat to folks on TS if you are on a whitelisted server that requires TS for example. Like most things - extra vehicles, starter gear, 3rd person enabled, death messages, sidechat etc it depends on the server you choose.

Sorry for a double post, but we encountered a problem and I wanted to make sure the thread was updated. My group has a couple vehicles, one is irreparable. We get the options to make repairs, and the parts get used and we get the success message, but when we check the status the damage indicators have not changed. Refueling does not make the gauge move at all, either. Tonight, just after the script kiddie posted the Justin Beiber banner, we saw that the fuel in another of our vehicles had reset to almost empty, and we had just refueld before the attack. We assumed the rollback had reverted it to last save state, before we filled up, so we refueled again. Now it seems to have the same problem, and no amount of gas registers on the gauge. It is slightly damaged, but we haven't tried repairing it yet, though I suspect it wouldn't work now. We wanted the admins and everyone to be aware of this, and we wanted to know if anyone also notices issues with their vehicles. My friend suspects the rollback triggered the bug, but I'm not sure, since there hadn't been a rollback to my knowledge before we found the first vehicle I mentioned. I hope there's a way to fix this, it's one thing to lose vehicles to other players or poor driving, but it would suck to lose them to a glitch or not be able to use new vehicles at all.

I always figured that the bulk of the population evacuated the city or something. That would explain the lack of vehicles.

Finding a regular, civilian vehicle shouldn't be a difficult task. Repairing it, and finding an adequate amount of fuel, should be the real challenge. Scouring the entire map just to find a vehicle should only occur when searching for military vehicles; off-road, lightly armored cars that are really worth finding. Survivors should have to gauge whether or not they will have enough fuel to make a trip, and carefully hoard every last drop. Fuel should be the real challenge, not vehicles (except for military and off-road vehicles, which should be rare.)

If a server restarts, flattened tents will disappear. It's a possibility that someone took your vehicles and flattened your tents and then the server restarted. However, there can also be a server bug where no vehicles or tents will show and that takes a server restart to fix.

I agree however there should be a way to balance it out so its not too easy for example other players can combat vehicles easily e.g. I.E.D's on roads that players can plant if you get where I'm coming from

I'm assuming you haven't played enough DayZ cause this wouldn't really be an issue. The bandits who have guns would just destroy the vehicles, if they own one already, or they would steal it and be on their way. I guarantee if they did make vehicles show up more half the people on the server would destroy some along the way just to repair the other vehicle they currently found.

So you wan't to find vehicles that haven't been blown up but they are enter-able just not drive-able?

I think that using a grenade as a boobytrap would be the tits. I would totally use it if I had the item to guard my premises lol Specially when sniping or just guarding my vehicles. Also would be sweet if you get a certain amount of knifes like 6 you could build a impaling swing device. Hey, if you really don't feel like wasting time looking around to see if there is any booby traps, you are more than welcome to sit and cry for help impaled in a kill hole, Then when you are dead I would drop by and loot that body trololol But yeah, mines would be almost imposible to find. Unless there is the trademark bump or concave surface on the ground that gives it away. But if it is trip wire you could spot the wire if you look for it and take it appart and even score a new fress grenade lol

So that tittle may be a tad more dramatic then needed. But I just want to know about the state of the Servers on Dayz Commander. I do not like playing on Private Hives. I am somewhat of Purist, and I also find it aggravating that literally all the private hives I've seen are not vanilla its all 200+ vehicles, no pvp, blah blah etc etc. Also I don't want to work for my 40k+ humanity again lol. So when I go to Dayz Commander, I find literally only two hive servers that I can connect to. The rest are either insanely high ping or wrong beta patch. Basically I just want other people opinions on this I think its a tad stupid, but I guess I'll have to suck it up and move over to a private hive somewhere. So feel free to spam your private server adverts as well. Summary, I want your opinions on the insane number of private hives, and a good one to suck up and join. Preferably a vanilla or as close as I can get.

Servers are located in Seattle. Regarding vehicles: on Taviana, there are the standard spawns plus about 20 more. The spawn percentages and max vehicle count by type has been increased on both servers.

Two Servers DayZ Chernarus Server for Distinguished Gentlemen | survivor/bandit/military NPCs | active admins | care packages | starting gear | VETERAN 3DP:ON CH:OFF NP:OFF DM:ON IP: 192.169.68.242 Port: 2322 DayZTaviana Server for Distinguished Gentlemen | survivor/bandit/military NPCs | active admins | care packages | starting gear |VETERAN 3DP:ON CH:OFF NP:OFF DM:ON IP: 192.169.68.242 Port: 2333 After playing DayZ both alone and with friends for months, I decided to finally run a server until the stand alone version comes out. My friends and I like to play Taviana and we found some servers we liked, but one was not moderated and one had admin abuse. Both servers are located in Seattle. Enticing you to play : High end heli crash gear Care packages Lootable wrecks Bandit, Survivor, and Military NPCs that are lootable Vehicle spawn chances and maximum number of vehicles by type have been increased on both servers Starting Gear I'm always open to suggestions and am willing to do things like modify the loot tables of crashed heli spawns or add/remove vehicle spawn points.

Where are you located? What is the vehicle situation (how many? new vehicles?)

Where is it based? What vehicles, features etc (go into a bit more detail please)?

There would need to be some kind of standardization of server settings for the idea to work. Back when there were no private hives it could have worked because the only differences were the few difficulty levels. But, then there's the problem of getting back to the server where you just found a humvee or placed a tent. So there would have to be some kind of favorites or history of servers you played on, and maybe the ability to give them nick names. In the past I've even suggested that an ability of adding someone to your friends could be added. That way if you meet someone in game and add them as your friend you could join the server they're playing on. But, when you died you lose your friends list and server list.(kind of harsh on the tent/vehicles, but death should be harsh imo)

Hiding player list I would be agree. People tend to play different when the server is empty or full. But the server name? how I am supposed to diferentiate between all the +1927598175 vehicles crap servers and the real good ones?

Hey guys we have changed the name of the server to DayZTaviana [Kings Of The North] [Active Admins] | 400 Vehicles | Veteran Survival | Helpful Admins | Fairplay only |. Sorry for any inconvenience we thought we would make it more survival based.

You're scared of the "Big Brother" aspect of monitoring your game? I personally don't like BattlEYE. It's finicky, it's touchy, and it's support is subpar (although I 100% respect their policy on bans:"You fucked up. Go cry about it.") I don't like what BattlEYE does. I got a 20 minute cluster efff on my PC because I had a program running that registered data value changes. It was kind of like Cheatengine, but some friends and I had brought it up from more-or-less scratch to test some Minecraft mods we never completed. I'd left Minecraft and the false-positive "Cheat Engine" running when I decided to play a few minutes of DayZ. BattlEYE initialized, gave me an error like "Injector attempt at ----really long list of numbers and letters, mostly 0000000Xsomething----- which gave me a 000x9c error and crashed ArmA 2 to the desktop... except it kept the rezise of ArmA 2, which I don't play at native resolution, which made my desktop unusuable. I tired CNTRL ALT DELETE and my screen turned into a rave party. After a manual shut off (via power button), I had to sit through 20 minutes of DOS recovering PC acitivity and making sure I didn't just break my PC. BattlEYE then took the liberty of telling my the false-positive was a cheat every time I tried to play. I opened up task manager and made sure the process wasn't running. I removed it from my PC completely, uninstalled BattlEYE, removed all traces of it from my registry, got rid of every left over .dll, et cetera, and reinstalled, which was the only way of stopping it from running a pesky little process that continously scans your PC for activity BE doesn't like. I'm not saying that's a bad thing; I think its great that BE is capable to stopping scripts (to some extent), because it at least keeps the laziest of script children away, but why wouldn't the functionality expand to see if Skype is running? See if TS3 is running? You shouldn't be talking to someone on Skype while playing DayZ anyway; A2 takes enough CPU as it is, and it's downright rude to go, "Hold on grandma, I need to shoot some zombies. Okay, what were you saying?" When I first started? Plenty. Now? Maybe once a month? I may be misunderstanding you, but are you suggesting that people that survive for a long time in DayZ are "Unrealistic" ? I think that if you're shot up, going "Bloop bandage and bloodbag" shouldn't save the day, due to the horrible infections you're going to get as a result of getting your stomach all shot to hell, but I don't think people surviving for long in DayZ is unrealistic. A bit irritating when someone has a URAL, NVGs, ghillie suit, AS50, and et cetera, but not unrealistic; DayZ is the survival of the fittest, and those best at using the forums/TS3. EXACTLY! Take TS out, be a loner. It's a more rewarding experience to run in and out of Elektro in starving desperation by yourself than it is to say, "Hey everyone, let's go to Elektro. Who's flying the chopper?" That is EXACTLY why TS frustrates me. It takes the challenge out of the game. --- I basically play with myself (immature jokes aside) when it comes to DayZ; I've got my own mission file that has double zombie spawns and half-loot spawns, almost no vehicles, and no helicopters. Occasionally friends come over. It makes a pretty tense Survival Games setting, where whoever is lucky enough to find a M1911 is King of the server and whoever can find a Winchester first is like Super Optimus Prime Jesus Cyborg Ninja RoboCop.

Event starts 8pm (GMT) after reboot. Event closes at 10:00pm.

Has your PC recently taken a dive in any other aspects of its use? It could be the result of a ram stick dying or your graphics card taking a dump, which are the most common issues old PCs have that haven't been dropped extensively. Have you installed any programs recently that have an autorun on startup? It could be said new program is using up too much of your CPU. Finally: Have you changed your graphic settings? I've noticed ArmA 2 suddenly get really choppy and changing my graphic settings to bare minimum, then back, clears it up for whatever reason. I've had the same DayZ experience of 1 second freeze-frames, but not nearly as often as 5-10 seconds. It occurs to me when all the zombies spawn in/all the textures load/or all the blown up vehicles, custom buildings, fire places, and et-cetera render in, since my PC is suddenly adjusting to keeping track of a bunch of new things really suddenly. What kind of PC are you running? Do some research into your motherboard, graphics card, and ram. See if they have a history of crapping out routinely around XXX amount of time? I don't know if this posts will help, but it counts as a "Bump" so maybe someone that knows what they're talking about will see it. :)

Plenty more vehicles in major cities.

If you're just going to use a controller for vehicles, I would suggest sticking with the native controller support.

I'm currently playing a Hero on a private hive at the moment - I actually don't think I've had a single murder on the server - I'm sitting at around 8K Humanity and rising quickly. Apart from Bandits, most people are generally friendly towards me. They'll drop their weapons, or turn around when I ask them too and they normally offer help. This could be due to my presence in side-chat though, I offer medical aid to players, I pick up freshspawns and help them kit out and I also bring people vehicles and hunt bandits. I get that some people distrust hero skins, but for the most part, unless you shoot at us, we wont shoot at you...hell, I even go out of my way NOT to shoot at a survivor even if he opens fire on me. ( Unless you're a bandit )
