Hello, I am Colonel Brown of the 8th Infantry Division. I would like to formally announce our clan's new event we hope to run every week, or at least every other week. What is the Squad Survival Challenge? I guess you could say it's like the Survival Games, but you don't have to be a well known streamer to get in, and the size of the squad ranges from 3-5 players as opposed to two. Who can make up a squad? Clan mates, IRL friends, people you met a few minutes ago who didn't instantly shoot you in the face, anything goes really. The event consits of six teams of 3-5 players (we will change the size every week to make it easier for people with smaller or larger groups to compete) competing to eliminate all the others. How does this work? -The teams will start in Kamenka. -The goal is to gear up and eliminate the enemy squads. -Each round will last up to six hours. One hour will be spent in the coastal zone, 3 more will be spent in the inland zone, and a further 2 in the Stary zone. If any teams survive that it will be a sudden death match at NWAF. (Images further down) -There are currently no prizes other than bragging rights, but that may change based on how many donations the 8Inf clan has left over after our expenses and how much is donated to the Challenge. We will have a public TeamSpeak with locked rooms available for your use during the match. Our rules are: -No respawns. -Vehicles are enabled, but air vehicles are not. If a heli or biplane manages to survive into the games and you are caught using it (i.e. the engine is running) you will be shot down and your team disqualified. -You are not to fire on the observation MI-17. If you do you will be disqualified. -Streaming is allowed, but we can't control who views your stream or what they do. If you are stream sniped we are not responsible. We can not do anything about it, nor will we give you a second chance. If you die, you die. -Spectators are allowed. You will be taken around in the MI-17. There will be 3 1 hour sessions allowing for 16 spectators in each. Donators will be given priority, otherwise first come first serve. You will not be allowed to join more than one session, and if a match ends before your session joins you will be given the option to reserve a spot in the first session the following week. -You must arrive 30 minutes in advance of the start of the event of you may be denied participation that week. -You must have a team name as well as a tag worn by members to be used as identification during the Challenge. -An admin will be monitoring the server at all times, if you are found hacking, teleporting, or spawning in gear or vehicles you will be disqualified and banned. -We're here to have fun. No crying, whining, raging, or anything similar will be tolerated in side chat. -Everyone will be taken to Kamenka for a briefing and short introduction of the teams. For your spawn location, please locate the nearest pickup location and wait there. The helicopter will make 2-3 passes along the coast. If you miss all three without a good reason you will be disqualified. -Spectators are NOT allowed to stream. -You must stay inside the defined boundaries. You will get one warning if you are outside them, after that you will be disqualified. We will be experimenting with two different map set ups the first couple of weeks. Both the success of the matches and the viewers' votes. The map set ups are: http://i.imgur.com/L1mhOe8.jpg http://i.imgur.com/GrqcF8z.jpg More info will come on the specifics of each map when it is used. I will be streaming commentary of the event with some 8Inf members so feel free to tune in. We will be accepting donations to the Challenge to be used as prize money, if you like what we are doing or feel like donating please go to DayZ's 8th Infantry Division on PayPal and donate. Of course this is completely optional, you will get priority for spectator spots and maybe a few other surprise perks. We will have records of every donation and payout we make available for public view, we want to be transparent with this. PM me if you would like to see our records once we start recieving and paying. When applying, please use the following format excluding the <>: <Team Name> <[Tag]> Team Leader: <Name> Team Members: <Name, Name, Name> Stream Locations (if any): <Stream URL, Stream URL, Stream URl> Squad Survival Challenge 1 Saturday February 16th, 2013. 12pm Central (1pm Eastern, 10am Pacific, 6pm GMT) Squad Size: 4 Team 1: Team Name: LADZ [CMC] Team Leader: Azzasin Team Members: Rogie, Gaz, Kezzmiester Streams: http://www.twitch.tv/cmc_azzasin Team 2: Team Name: Team Madsnake [MsN] Team Leader: Panics Team Members: Noob, Flower, Azrael Streams: none Team 3: Team Name: Ramsey Street Assassins [RSA] Team Leader: Lou Carpenter Team Members: Harold Bishop, Toadfish Rebecchi, Karl Kennedy Streams: none Team 4.

You mean the de-compiling/compiling trick with the .pbo files? We did that before (which worked), but it had some nasty habits. Im VERY glad we got it all sorted legitemately now.. vehicles spawning where they should and staying on the location where they were left :) :) Happycampers :D

Fear Engine - Dallas - Whitelist - 3rd person - Active Mods - Always Daytime - 100 Vehicles We are a brand new private hive whitelisted server with very active mods on at all times. We need some new people to fill our server up! It is dallas based and you can find all the information you need at - http://www.fearengine.net Feel free to drop on by in the forums, or say hi in the webchat! See you in game!

Played feb 12 at 12:30am and killer joe was doing a bunch of hacks in one of the us server then feb 13 at around 1:00 pm in server us 2254 he followed me and my brother and continued his cheating. Teleporting/ vehicles and weapons. He even teleported us so the wizard monitor would show we teleported. I recorded some of it and put it on YouTube. 2 seperate days and 2 separate servers and killer joe is the only one in both

Zombies do a random amount of damage to vehicles max possible valve 0.08 damage per zed 10 shots give or take to smash any glass. Zombies do not only hit windows on every hit its only a chance they hit glass. Crash sites - We have had no reports of any crash site issues from any of the top 10 servers running DayZ nor have we had any issues from our own servers. Zombies hitting players has always been random and will remain random. There is always a chance they can strike you down. Granted the magic hit they do isn't the best but again this has always been here if your within 3 meters of the zed no matter what the zed is doing you get hit. (See Patch notes). Private hives are welcome to run DayZ. We have always worked with the private hive community's until recently where Ayan (Bliss) stepped down to work on his own mod. The only other major privates hives we know about is reality (New Based on bliss) and vilayer (Company version). The issue with loot is being looked into. Thanks

- Server Restarted - Added 4 vehicles

There is this great server for noobs or anybody actually. It is a Chernarus 1.7.6 map with tons of vehicles and helicopters. It is always daylight and has a lower population. It also has an active admin on daily which u can also email for questions. this is why it is perfect for beginners or anybody looking to have a good time. The name is Day of the Dead and the I.P. address is 198.105.220.164 port :3136 CHECK IT OUT!!!

incendiary rounds are used for vehicles still i know this is wikipedia, but there are references, and i have still got no complaint about my sources. so.... yeah.

yeah, eagle eye zombies that spot you from 200m away and knock you out in 2 hits, and if you try to run they'll run faster than you and break your legs on 2 hits. These people bragging that they arent much of a problem probably were full geared up before the patch, with shittons of ammunition and use all the 'cheats' to avoid zombies, like hiding in trees or combat logging. But try to play solo fresh spawn and you'll see our point. Now we cant run from them, we cant kill them without being swarmed, and we cant hide from them (without using glitches), there's no point playing this thing. If the game will keep going this way, soon it will become unplayable and the only servers that people will play in are that [9000 vehicles, start with mk48, NVG and RF, less zombies, always day, more buildings and herp derp] OH WAIT, that sounds familliar? yeaah, that's already happening.

Come on by and try us out, Lex Talionis servers are always monitored and stops hackers in their tracks. Hacking, Duping, and Scripting are not allowed and will result in a permanent ban from the server. PvP is allowed in both servers, Taviana will be getting a massive overhaul placing two bases, 1 North and 1 South of Sabina. There will be two factions, plus Neutral players who can choose if they want to join the fight or avoid it and go on their marry way. You can visit us @ Lex Talionis. If you have any questions please feel free to stop on by and PM me personally or any of our admins.

It will be back up as soon as it is repaired. We will keep you updated. Edit: Update 2 - Taviana Server is back up and running smoothly.

You drove your vehicles along the coast near black lake. I was running along searching for camps to loot and heard a vehicle. I followed the truck and then watched it drive around the end of the river and into debug land. I had been in debug land a few days back and saw that huge camp near where you killed me so I figured it may have been yours. I was swimming across the river and saw your other vehicle so I then knew it was a clan. I ran to the camp where one of you spotted me and shot at me when I was looking through my binoculars at you. I then tried to flank around and kill you but you soon spotted me and shot at me so I retreated by in doing so, got shot by one of your men that had an M249.

The link I gave you should help you. Legit server, as in regular amount of vehicles and normal daytime/nighttime cycle. Plus, 3P and crosshairs are off. And it's fairly active as far as I know.

I generally play alone, and don't use the teamspeak server of the server I play on. If I play with friends, I would be fine with a decent radio system, and if something can be done to prevent third party chat, I'm all for it. The problem is, people won't play at a disadvantage when other people don't. I'm just saying, one 'problem' can be changed, one can't. Furthermore, I think the reason there are so few FPV servers around is because there is an option for third person. Just look at how widespread the 'Start with gun + 500 vehicles' servers have become with. I would be fine with people having third person as long as you can't see things you shouldn't be able to, but if that were the case I think way less people would bother to use it anyways.

Id say the problem is too many people dont want to play a game where you have to survive; they would rather play a game where you start out with half the tools already and a good weapon in a server with over 300 vehicles. allowing third person and side chat ruin the immersion in the game, and the abundance of unfitting guns (dmr,as50,m14,m107,mk48) also fuck it over. the zombies are currently complete shit, but they will be hopefully fixed for standalone. the character animations are also really bad along with the inventory system and loot spawning system. i really hope that in standalone the surviving aspect gets to the point where its nearly impossible to live, and only the best players will become well geared

I agree, helicopters are ridiculously easy to fly. In a perfect world, we'd have DCS: Black Shark level simulation for the helis and other vehicles... my eyes shine at the thought. You'd actually have to read all those instruments.

I hope this is still a discussion and not just an argument. Private hives I vote the Private Hives. You definitely find great ones but it is hard. I have been playing for a long while. My friend has not had the luxury of being able to play but he was dying to. I remember telling him stories about finding my first gun, chopper crash and vehicle. Those few things had to be searched for, earned and going prone for hours. The other day he finally came over and used my PC. He clicked on a server and spawned with a M4CCOSD, M9sd and a few thousand morphine and cooked meats. The first words out of this dudes mouth were : "LETS KILL SOME BITTCCHHEEES!" He ran around getting pissed when he couldn't navigate even with the map and was ready to abort. I Jumped in and told him where to run and he walked into a field in elecktro and got shot. "im disappointed, i waited so long to play this and I dont like it." once your spoon-fed gear, shit sucks. Banditry I read a Thread a while back and it was the most interesting to actually hear some smarts rather than just crying. http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/49518-banditry-exploded/ - page 3 starts the interesting bit. Map size Chernaurus and Namalsk are my favorite for the size. UTES was more like Hunting except you are the game. Fallujah and Takistan are great with max vehicles. I just feel that if you can cover long distances relatively quick, its gotta be more rare. Either that or its a different play style. Its a fine line between distances you can cover on foot or vehicle, to still capture heart pounding adrenaline. (as soon as shit starts going down when you thought it was downtime)

You will never keep anything hidden as said above, one thing about dayz never get attached to your gear or vehicles. Easy come easy go, my most successful tent which somehow stayed for weeks was on the docks on a private server once. Hasnt worked since so I gave up on that one.

Hey guys this is a great new server i started up it has 250+ vehicles, always daylight, spawn with makarov, and no hackers! we have very active admins and its just an all round good server.

I like the private hives with side chat and other maps, like Taviana, much better than regular Chernorus. Reason: Different difficulty settings, more things to see, fun with chat and being social while surviving. Some of the servers got tons of vehicles, for instane, while others are even more difficult than the regular servers. It's so much cooler to have a real choice. So yeah, some of the server's aren't as die hard difficult and unforgiving as the original, but that's kind of the appeal anyway. How it's "diluting" the original is beyond me. Does it dilute water that I would rather drink milk? Lol, dorks!

I really like Taviana. Not because of the vehicles, but the more modern cities and everything. If somebody would make adjustments to it so it looks more zombie apocalyptic, then I would be in love.

Im have trouble spawning vehicles fully repaired and refueled. what do i need to set the min damage and max damage to and also the min fuel and max fuel. i also have a issue with vehicles spawning in duplicated causing them to explode. please help?

I'm tired of seeing all these shit ass servers that have 400 vehicles with starting gear comboed with bad admins and side chat. Do any private hives exist where the game is actually hard and there are people playing all the time?

Holding right mouse button whilst equipped with an M107 brings up a green targeting box that locks onto zombies, players and vehicles. This is on a Vilayer server with crosshairs enabled.
