I see it like this. We all spawn on equal footing. It is then up to us to find items to gear up. Just because some are too lazy or choose not to run the map looking for gear doesn't mean we should all be restricted. My partner and I have found at least 5 pairs of NVG in the past 2 weeks. We just found some yesterday in a chopper sitting by the Polana factory. As most seem to like sitting in Elektro or Cherno, sure your not going to find them. We will spend nights just moving around looking for chopper crashes or sneaking into the barracks to find cool loot. Sometimes we find good stuff, sometimes we don't. That is the game. If I find something I don't need, I will give it away. I may put it in a broken down vehicle for someone to find easier. It all depends. I have also never been killed at a chopper crash. I have found them already looted and I have found them full of loot. I have found them with players there but I am not interested in killing folks to take what they got so I observe from afar, see which way they move and move another direction. I may wait for them to leave and pick up scraps. It all depends. I actually found NVGs at a crash site that was being looted. I noticed I had seen nobody looking under the heli so I waited until they were gone and took a look. Oh wow. NVG's. What happened to getting rewarded for hard work. I don't want the easy way out. This world is full of people who have advantages over others. When I see a guy in a Ferrari pull up next to me, I don't say "It's not fair that he gets that and I don't. He can get chicks easier because of his car and that's not fair." I just need to work harder I guess. My brother in law has an 08 STi with better mods that is faster than my 05. At the track he woops me up. I don't cry about him having better parts. I just need to put in the work to get better parts if I want to keep up. Such is life. If you are getting killed by NVG wearing snipers, be more careful. Regardless of the tools, someone will kill you. Why not just remove all loot but food, drink and vehicle parts. Remove all guns and have everyone spawn with a pistol. Would that be equal enough? I guess there would still be people with vehicles and some without. That would be an advantage. Remove those also I suppose. Better yet. Just spawn everyone fully geared in Elektro and remove all loot so there is no need to leave. We can all kill each other. Oh wait, we already have that in COD. I guess we could just sit around singing Kumbaya then. Now that would be a game worth playing.

You'd be surprised how many scripters you can catch by watching people. If you're killed by a bug/scripter, private hive admins can restore your gear/vehicles. Whether admins choose to abuse this system or not is up to them. I suggest playing on servers where admins don't tipe liek dis or LIEK DIS LAWL.

DayZ - Custom Map New Towns/Vehicles 1.7.5.1 Brand New Today! Hosted by Nuds 173.76.120.107:2302 Hey folks, we released the server last night and it looks like we got up to 8 connections reliably which was nice but we're still testing throughout the day. After this server is configured we'll be switching over to an old HP Proliant dual Xeon2.0 with 16g 5300f. Before anyone asked, I posted this here because this community is generally more savvy. Also, anyone know if 50/down 30up should be enough to host? That's what we're at right now but we're thinking of upgrading if needed. Thanks in Advance!

I am not against zombies getting harder. But it doesn't matter how tough you make zombies, to me zombies are just part of the scenery to the way I play the game. And that's PvP. Zombies are so easy to avoid that I run through towns and look for what I want as fast as I can. Sooner I am out of town the safer I am. But, it doesn't matter how "tough" you make zombies. With the AI of the zombies as they are now you can only get to a certain point before it breaks the playability of this mod. With warping through walls, phantom hits on you, you risk adding a negative impact to the game that doesn't necessarily make it more challenging. Just frustrating because of the AI. And my post you quoted was in no way related to zombies. It was more a long the lines of realistic/unrealistic things we are able to do in this game. IE repairing choppers/vehicles.

I will never understand why boys are so destructive. *tuts* Look at all that damage. And you could have played nicely will those vehicles, if only you'd shared! I hope you tided up when you'd finished. *tuts again* I enjoyed the music, though! :thumbsup:

The fact that admins actually have the power to spawn in weapons, vehicles and equipment, as well as know where everyone on the map is should be a little alarming. If this happens in the standalone there is absolutely no point playing it because if an admin can know where your camp is located spawn in every weapon then that completely ruins the entire concept of DayZ.

- Click banner to navigate to our website! - Dayz Sahrani initial test release of v0.21 is out! ( If you had v0.2 you have to redownload for our next update! ) Installation Guide Since it's not on dayzcommander yet, Cookiezzz quickly made a little tool that will install DayZ Sahrani for you :) ATTENTION: If you previously used this installer, you need to remove the old version (this new version is final) To do this, go to your Control Panel =>Program's and features. Find DayZ Sahrani Installer in this list, and delete it. People who have a 64-bit windows, use this link http://www.runelotte.../64/publish.htm People who have 32-bit windows, use this link. http://www.runelotte.../32/publish.htm This can contain bugs, It was made as a temporary fast solution. Just go to the page, hit install, download & open the file, than folow instructions. After the map is fully downloaded & extracted (wait for the messagbox to pop up!!! it can take a little while) ******UPDATE****** You have to create a shortcut icon for Dayz Sahrani before it will work! As Dayzcommander is causing problems, this is an option you have to install the game: If you have a CD copy of the game copy and paste the standard Arma desktop icon, right-click properties and in the target like add the following: "-beta=Expansion\beta;Expansion\beta\Expansion -nosplash -mod=@DayZ_Sahrani" In Steam I guess you can right-click your game in the library and do something like this too, so in the end my target line looks like: "D:\Program Files\Bohemia Interactive\ARMA 2\Bohemia Interactive\Expansion\beta\arma2oa.exe" -beta=Expansion\beta;Expansion\beta\Expansion -nosplash -mod=@DayZ_Sahrani and 'start in' looks like: "D:\Program Files\Bohemia Interactive\ARMA 2\Bohemia Interactive" In steam I guess it'll look something like" "C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common....." and voila, you'll now have your own shortcut where you can launch Sahrani!

This cannot happen in the standalone, bad enough admins can turn off night time and ban people who kill them but this really needs to be addressed. If admins have this kind of power in the standalone then there is no point anyone playing it.

Spawn more vehicles.

Alright, I'm a proud owner of a central hive and I'm not sure if the hosting rules still apply or not, if we can do as we please with people or what. My playerbase is getting really tired of a few select people hoarding all of the vehicles. Right now I wish I could just do a air strike on them and destroy the vehicles they have, they have almost EVERY single vehicle on the map as there are none at there spawn points, they log in once a day and move every vehicle about 10 meters or so ish I assume to where they won't disappear/respawn. It's getting really tiring of no one else having any vehicles and no one can find there camp. What can I do.

Tents are duping items like crazy. I play on the Trauma server (West Coast) and tents DO NOT WORK. Here's a breakdown of what happens: - All tents 2 weeks or older, reset to the same contents after every server reset. This means if I remove a DMR, the server will reset and the DMR appears back in the tent. - New tents cause the same problem except they work fine for the first server reset. On the second reset all the contents of the tent become permanent. - If you add items to a tent, they are erased - Everyone on the server has to use vehicles as bases which is LAME Is this a global issue? Is this just an issue on our server? How do you fix this/When is this being fixed? This is game ending for sure.

I found this server but there's just not that many players, there's like 3-10 on at once usually. Its a great server, it has tons of vehicles. Usually each town will have one or two and they don't spawn fully repaired/full fuel all the time. It does have day and night to add to the realism of it. You spawn with flares so fresh spawn during night time isn't so bad (Carry the dam flare). The admins are fair, they don't spawn in vehicles/items for their friends or tell location and all that stuff. It's a great server and all but just needs players! T.T They have a teamspeak: becks-privateers.com:9995 Then to get to the server i don't really know how to link it, but just filter for beck, it'll have beck privateers in the name or something. I found this 173.193.48.137:3221 and you direct connect with it in dayz commander i think. But just join the server!

Yay! Please search 24/7 Drifting in dayz commander or set search filter to this in game search. It is a wonderful community but you need to get whitelisted. It is quick and easy just email GUID and in game name to [email protected] Everyone there is really nice. It's lowly populated on weekdays but gets up to 15 or 20 players on weekends. There's 250 vehicles... Anyway, it's Chernarus map. I hope to see you there!!!

First let me make this statement: " We are currently working hard to get the real FrankieonPCin1080p to come play on our server. That being said, we need you help to make a great no-hax community of bandits-heros and survivors." Come have tons of fun on our private Chernarus hive server where we encourage both survivors and bandits to team up and have epic adventures. Our team of pro-active admins are usually watching over the map to make sure that no-one is breaking the rules or cheating. And if you hate running! We are constantly adding and re-spawning vehicles to make getting around the map easier. I personally like the bi-plane and spawn as many as I can whenever I'm on as admin :) Come join us for the fun at "Fankie PlayZ Here" at 184.172.146.24:3425 We never thought it would be so much fun to host our own server for dayz and we are so glad that we made the jump. Players have been coming and we've had many great adventures. WE are so blessed that our server went from almost empty to almost full in 2 weeks. Thanks so much to all the regulars that come back and welcome to all our new players. With your help we will make this one of the best DayZ Private Hive out there. What our server offers: Triple Redundant anti-hack softwares to make sure we stop as many hackers as we can from even coming in Pro-active admin who are there almost 24/7 to catch any hacker that slips through the cracks. Easily over 350 vehicles and adding more everyday. Starting gun which is changed based on special events and request.

It's definitely in my favorite list" ~ Hinder "You guys [admins] are so nice. Last server I went to, the admins spawned themselves illegal weapons and just killed eveyone. Thx" ~Angus "I've never played on a server with so few hackers. Some do get through, but the admins are right there and ban them almost instantly" ~Capt.Frost We invite all those that play with us to leave their comments below. Praise, critism or wrongful banning, we welcome all forms of feedback Cheers and see you in Cherno...friendly?

Another piece of advice is to not cluster your stuff all together. Whenever I find a vehicle hidden in the woods that I think is part of someone's stash, I always search the immediate area, and I'll often also find a tent or two and maybe another vehicle nearby. For my own camp, I always have two or three tents and two or three vehicles, with at least several hundred meters between each object. Also, once you've got multiple vehicles and tents, don't segregate your gear. For example, DON'T put all your weapons and ammo in one tent, and all your food in another, and all your car parts in a third. Instead, say you've got two tents and two vehicles. First off, you need to figure out what stuff you're going to be putting on your character for when you log out. That should be your most important stuff. Next you want to sort your remaining stuff into four equal piles, one for each tent and vehicle. Each pile should have at least one good primary and secondary weapon in it and the associated ammo. Each pile should also have some food and medical supplies in it, as well as an assortment of the essential tools and a few car parts. Try to put an upgraded backpack in each pile, too. The goal should be that even if three of your four stashes are found, you'd still have at least one complete load out ready for you in case you need to recover from a death in a hurry.

That's a BS argument. There are already a bunch of options in the game that servers can enable to make things easier for players, such as crosshairs and tagnames, but guess what, tons of servers CHOOSE to disable those options and have no trouble attracting players. Servers also have the option of putting in way more vehicles than normal, or giving players all kinds of extra starting loot, and while some servers choose to do that, there's still tons that choose not to, and again they have no trouble attracting players. The claim that the FPS-only crowd somehow knows what's better for the game and that everyone else will simply select the easiest, most cheesy options unless those options are removed simply isn't borne out by the facts. On top of that, the fact that servers that disable 3rd person have such a hard time attracting players, coupled with the fact that the playerbase has clearly demonstrated the ability to selectively weigh the gameplay value of different options, is pretty strong evidence that restricting the game to first person only would negatively impact the enjoyment of the gameplay for a huge segment of the playerbase... and in the end, enjoyment of the gameplay is the ONLY thing that matters. Realism and immersion only matter insofar as they further a player's satisfaction with the overall gameplay, because that's the only reason anyone actually plays DayZ. Anyone who's logged into DayZ has made the conscious, or sub-conscious decision that at that moment in time, playing DayZ is more enjoyable to them then watching TV, or taking a nap, or firing up their XBox. That doesn't mean that things shouldn't be hard, because humans derive a lot of enjoyment out of overcoming challenges, and that doesn't mean things shouldn't be immersive, because humans derive a lot of enjoyment out of virtual escapism, but ultimately, both of those things are only components of the overall gameplay experience, and should never take sole priority.

Will there be vehicles on the initial release or will they come later on ?

Thanks for the bug report! But PLEASE join these guys' forums! The Dev team is small and SWAMPED! Had we seen this on their bug reporting thread we would have looked at it before packaging .2 for them. HOWEVER... EVERYONE PLEASE NOTE... 0.1 was THROWN together by a 3 man team and based on a pretty bad/buggy source dayz code.... 0.2 IS based on 1.7.5 (.6 really because we've already integrated the noted changes for the next update)... this has ALL the new mechanics added to Chernarus in 1.7.5.1... PLUS Our beginnings of camp building mechanic including 3 Crafting Books! Carepackages NEW ADDITIONAL UNBANNED GUNS NEW ADDITIONAL UNBANNED VEHICLES RHIB Anyone? 2 BAF Offroad styles 2 Little bird types (2 seat and 6 seat (armed in the works) 2 HMMWV Types (Armed on the way) Skar? M8??? SVD? M40A3??? TONS MORE??? Oh Yeah!

Get Whitelisted Today Have 8 regular players? Then we are accepting applications for a 3rd and perhaps a 4th Faction. Don't have 8 regular players then organize the lone wolfs on our server or on this thread. DAY 0 + 17 hours current server age. Server Features 1. The 116 goes above and beyond most servers by doing our best to serve the server community as a whole. Take for example this thread and how we go out of our way to hear the opinion of all factions from our old server while we are starting up this new one. 2. Factions of more than 8 regular players will receive a dome upon request. The dome will be located on the edge of the map, can contain as many tents which will fit, two vehicles for transport (not storage), and no helicopters. The domes are there to perpetuate the persistent nature of the game and help to support more military or high end weapons being brought to bear on the field. 3. Events several times a week that bring in loot not on the standard loot tables. Ever wondered how a silenced anti material rifle works in game? Like the idea of going in silent but having a grenade launcher slung below your M4 SD, just in case? Feeling like Sheriff Rick of the Governor and want to pit your faction against others for the brass ring? 4. MH60, MTVR, KAZAM, VODNIK, CROWS HUMMER, Technicals, all in limited numbers but available. 5. STAKEHOLDER meetings bi-weekly. Want to determine how the server is run then come to our bi-weekly stakeholder meetings to give a say for your faction or you as an individua 6. Lots of mature and friendly people online who do our best to "keep it in the game" and to no be "one of those guys". Server Rules 1. No trash talking or foul language on the server. (We are dead serious about the trash talking, an occasional swear word is accepted). 2. The game mechanics rule. No one is ever kicked for being a superb player whether they choose to be a hero, bandit, or survivor. 3. Hackers ruin it for everyone. No hacking is tolerated by anyone including and especially Windhund members. Hackers are banned and reported including public posting of their GUID. 4. Windhund members have a trust but verify attitude towards public players on the server. 5. Bambi killers. Windhund makes it a point of hunting bambi killers and bandits. We expect talented bandits to give us a hard challenge. That is half the fun of the game. 6. No pop logging to lobby in order to despawn zeds for the purposes of locating the enemy. 3 day ban for breaking this rule. 7. Welcome and enjoy your time on the server. 8. Leave what is inside the domes alone. Wanton behavior as a griefer towards the domes will result in a kick or a ban. Some people like to farm and collect and you will not be allowed to spoil it for them. Others respect this farming and collecting because we like to fight as organized teams (its also great for lone wolfs to hunt us) and part of organizing is logistics. PS. We are highly experienced at running DayZ servers. Our last server made it into the top 200 in under 20 days. Now we are going for the top 100 with a bullet. Help us build a good community in a great game. Salute!

You can use this website to check for the vehicle spawns: http://dayzdb.com/map It's a great tool to use if you're just starting out. You can also check to see what buildings spawn what types of loot, find gas stations, and etc. Be aware, that some of the spawns may not be the same on the map if you are playing on a private hive due to admins adding in or taking out vehicles to the map.

Due to recent Bliss/DayZ updates, there was an issue with tents, it's now been fixed by the host and yes the vehicles are appearing again. I've double checked the tents are not duping anymore, if you find any bugs, please report it ASAP on the forums. We've also spiced up Kamenka, there is an apartment complex, general store and hospital you can loot. We're going to add a ton more mapping in the next few days, stay tuned and recruit!

The best private server I've played on! Been here about 2 weeks. Signing up is fast and easy and the community is friendly. Bandits and Heroes alike, plenty of firefights, enough vehicles to keep things interesting, and almost nightly events that keep things pretty spicy and fun. The admin is very active from the console end: he does not play other than special events so there is no need to worry about admin power-tripping. Cheaters are found out and dealt with promptly. Great place to play, best DayZ experience I've had! I speak for a friend of mine as well.

is there going to be a large crafting system in SA, where players can harvest materials from vehicles and lootspawns and use tools to combine these to weapons and survival utilities?

Don't know if already asked but "Will there be a leveling system in SA ? i.e mechanic level, increasing chance of repairing vehicles or times to repair it" (sorry for my poor english)
