supposedly bad things 1. this is a good thing 2. i agree that the respawn timer is way too short, it should be possible to clear a town/city from zombies for a short while, now its just endless zombie hoard on you if you atract their attention 3. this should be limited to zombies within a short range 4. these things are supposed to only use the most basic functions of their brains right? but they immediately assume vehicle sound, gunfire and movement noise is food, none of them should send them storming with fork and knife at the ready, it should turn their attention in that direction and have them move there to see what made the noise and if they spot a player on the way then its fork and knife time. 5. just running into a bush with a zombie on your ass and it cant find you seemed stupid to me from day 1(not that i didnt take advantage of it ;)), you should be able to take advantage of the LOS, drop to the ground and if you are outside zombie hearing/visual range then it can lose interest in you and continue with its hobbies. 6. mixed feelings about it, but bloodbags are rarely a concern for me 7. this is a really great thing 8. this should be a difficulty setting(personally i dont like them in heavily populated servers, i go paranoid from them) supposedly good things 1. great, more vehicles i never get to use :P 2. didnt like that alice is only 16 slots now 3. with zombie behavior as it is guns are scary to use, would rather have seen more SD variants or a silencer item that you could attach to certain weapons(and detach from already silenced weapons maybe?) 4. bacon 5. didnt notice any difference 6. re-added but yes good thing 7. rarely get to see one but good indeed sorry for the long post.

I like it. Its really changed the dynamic of zombie encounters. My only complaint is the attacking in vehicles is a bit dumb. I was attacked driving a Ural down the coastal road while cruising at an easy 60. That thing is a fucking tank I don't get how that damn zed wasn't a hood ornament.

you are only supposed to take damage in enclosed vehicles after the windshield is broken. they can also pull you from non-enclosed vehicles ( atvs, bikes, etc..) did you read the patch notes?

No. No. The L115 uses a .338 Lapua Magnum cartridge, while the AS50 uses a .50 BMG cartridge, which is .50 cal. Of course you won't really notice any difference when shooting at live targets, but AS50 has quite the edge against vehicles.

Hello members of DayZ Forums, I am making this forum post because i am looking to create an DayZ Taviana Squad / Team, in this post i will tell some stuff and the ideas of this group. The whole idea of this Team / Squad is to have an relative small group. And not a clan with 20 + people. So the maximum we are taking in this team is 20 people. Bandit / Non-bandit? Firstly, this Squad / Team will not be an specific bandit clan. But if we have the ability to kill someone for stuff like loot or vehicles, we will. So, we are agressive but we will will kill nobody without an good reason. Tactics. We will have tactics, this means ideas howto get up to someone. But also the idea to have multipile classes in the team, things like medic to supply medic stuff, a sniper to give cover. And scouts to scout areas, and go first to see if people are in buildings. Server. We will play on an private hive server of Taviana, this means less hackers and more good stuff. At the moment we don't got an server yet, but we will discuise wich one we choose together. Teamspeak. When this team got an ammount of players, i will buy an teamspeak server where we can talk on. In the meanwhile we will be using skype. Requirements. We got some requirements in this group, they will be listed under this text: We don't got an required age, but only mature people will be accepted. Act mature? You need to able to listen to people, like leaders when you are in a fight. You need an official copy of Arma 2. (DayZ) You need an headset / microphone. More to be added. Be able to have structure, ALWAYS tell what you will do. Where you will go, and who you will shoot. You need skype. Rules. NEVER shoot on your team-mates, just no friendly fire. Act mature. No raging when your dead, atleast not when we hear it.. Follow orders, don't talk when we say you to.. No hacking at all. More to be added. Joining. If you are interrested in joining this team, and do you meet all the requirements? Add me on skype: GambleTrue I hope you guys are interrested in joining this team, if you have any questions.. Just write them in a reply down here. Greetings, Notorix

You could try our server. Its a whitelisted private hive with a few added vehicles but not extreme. It's running the latest patch with no issues at all.

Nope, chopper leakage hasn't been fixed, hence me thinking the addition of zeds attacking vehicles was added prematurely. In essence, they merged Taviana (attacking vehicles, different HUD) and Chernarus, tweaked the zombie difficulty and added meat types. And yea, some of the sounds are atrociously misleading. I frequently get scared because of a random sound effect playing. All in the game, though.

Uhm, haven't used it in a while, but iirc: - Fire up DayZ Commander and connect to a server running the map you want to edit. - Before it actually logs into that server, go back to main menu. It was just an easier way to start the game with a specific mod. - Hit ALT+E to open the map editor, the map you want to edit will be in the list, quite possibly with an icon or something like that next to the name. - Place a Center (dont change any values in the little window that opens up), a Group (dont change any values in the little window that opens up), and then a Unit (set 'Playable' to the Playable value, set the skin to survivor or s.th. if you want, doesn't really matter tho. Just the playable part matters) to the map anywhere. ArmA2 Map Editor doesn't let you save it otherwise. - Place objects via the Vehicle (most objects count as vehicles, just roll with it. Don't try to place actual vehicles like cars or helis this way. It doesn't end well!!) or Object Composition button, then save to a name. - Leave the editor, alt+tab out of the game. - Open your %USERS%/Documents/ArmA 2 Other Profiles/%profile name%/missions/ folder and you'll see a subdirectory named <the name you used when saving>.<name of the actual map>. In it is a .sqf and a .biedi file, drag&drop the .biedi file onto 3de_conv.exe (look for 3de on one of those arma2 mod sites, you'll find it), it creates an sqm file. - Open your %USERS%/Documents/ArmA 2 Other Profiles/%profile name%/MPMissions/ folder. Create two folders, one named original.<mapname> or s.th. like that and one named <whateveryouwant>.<mapname> - Put the .sqm file 3de just created into the whateveryouwant folder, grab the MP mission pbo for that map from your server, create a backup of it, open it up in PBO manager (you'll find it anywhere 3de is available too), and drag&drop the contained .sqm file to the original.<mapname> folder - Alt+tab back into the game. Go to multiplayer, chose the New button to create a server and hit ok to get to map selection, select the map you edited from the list at the bottom, then select <<New - Editor>> on the right side. It will open up the editor again. Click on load, the dropdown should show both the original and your version. Load the original. - Click on merge, select your custom version from the dropdown. Find the blue Unit thing you placed earlier. Select it and delete it, we can't have that there, we only needed it because of a restraint in the editor earlier. - Click on save, enter a new, third name of your liking, exit the editor and cancel starting up a server, leave the game altogether. - Open your %USERS%/Documents/ArmA 2 Other Profiles/%profile name%/MPMissions/ folder. There is a third folder now, <thirdnameyouused>.<mapname>, in it is a .sqm file. Open your pbo file from earlier - remember to keep a backup of that file somewhere - remove the sqm inside it and copy over the mission.sqm from that third MPMissions folder. Close the PBO and replace the one on your server with that new one. Done.

well its not like they open the doors to pull you out, they break the windows and pull you out from them, wich would be pretty much impossible to do by hand on a military vehicle. but on civilian vehicles id rather see the option to use scrap metal to weld bars over the windows, cause that would be one of the first things youd do with your vehicle of choice in a zombie apocalypse, that and a plow infront

Come try out my server, its new and very player friendly. Our Admins strive to keep a fair and level playing field.

Cut and paste from Smasht_au's fellow mod Derpy_hooves.... Today, 04:31AM Got to say alot of our player base are very unhappy wit h the patch, Zombies glitching right left and centre, pla yers getting stuck in debug and then losing all their ge ar. The zombies attacking the vehicles and hurting player s yeah i like that and it makes things a hell of alot toug her but the amount of problems we have received mak es it a tough decision to keep this patch or roll back.... tl;dr, Far too many glitches and a wealth of unhappy pl ayers on our database....

Update: Added 2 mi17 and 1 mv22 at random spawnpoint Added Load/unload vehicles into airplane

I'm really thinking of buying the game to play this mod when I get back home from my vacations. I have watched some videos online and there are some things I wanted to ask you guys (and gals): 1. What's the deal with servers? Are there official ones? I'm asking because I guess hacking happens a lot more on "open" or unofficial servers. 2. How does the spawn system work for items and vehicles? I mean, if I pick something up from a hospital, does it respawn after some time? 3. Are there helicopters? 4. Do you have a friends list or some kind? That's all I can think of for now.. I guess I will have more coming as I continue to watch videos hehe. Thank you in advance :)

Then I sincerely hope the stand alone game is not for them , and they don't buy it , and they don't play it . After just trying a few American servers , to check out the new 1.7.5.1 patch , I am seeing the way the mod is headed , and I must say , it's disappointing . Guns galore , vehicles galore , 24/7 daytime , donors getting free gear , side chat constantly blazing away , the purpose of the game being diluted . Some gamers really do not want this , and I hope they are at least somewhat catered for .

If you find yourself on a server that has prominent hackings, then go apply and join a private whitelisted server. Most of them have the tools to combat hacks and completely prevent them. Most are modded, but there are also a select few that remain vanilla (non-modded) as the developers intended. DO NOT POST ignorant threads on the forums whining like some child about the following: Hackers are taking over the game Zombies are over-powered now I can't seem to stay in my vehicle cause of mean Zed The game is unfair now I can't trust anyone I lost all my stuff due to all the above I apologize for being so rash, but after seeing so many WarZ players whine about how things aren't going their way.. something needs to be said to the new guys coming in. This mod is excellent. Remember.. it is still in Alpha. I challenge you to find a game out there, past or present that is this entertaining and detailed while still in it's alpha stage. The bugs may be there, but most of them always end up funny as hell anyways. If you are looking for a great young community that is absolutely hacker-free / vanilla - then I strongly suggest you join us over at DayZ Unleashed. It is a private whitelisted server that welcomes everyone!

[Edit: My bad, I left out half of the quote, pretend the rest of the quote is there!] I've seen you post this onto other threads. I'm wondering, since it's only this one same thing that you keep saying in each post, have you actually tried more than once? Not meaning to sound aggressive, just curious. It's a lot harder, for sure, but it's do able. I've been finding few vehicles and good loot around a few of the cities the past few days, and since this new patch came out I have been able to continue to go into the towns to loot and repair vehicles without dying. I also make a point to take cooked meat with me when I go looting, because as you say zombies WILL find and hit you. But it doesn't have to be a death sentence It's all about planning your survival.

Alright, spent about 5 hours on your server 173.192.170.98:3408 and here is my review: I am unfamiliar with all the server settings, so not sure how much of this is by design or your server settings. First, I seen absolutely (that I could tell) no hacks. For me that is some sort of record. I appreciate that I got a start pistol but for some reason it didn't work until after I got a winchester. Luckily I was only trying to kill a goat , cause if I was trying to kill a zombie, It could have gone really bad....as it was, I think the goat was laughing at me. It was 24/7 day, thank you. server reset is every 6 hours, thank you. start map, knife and matches, compass and watch thank you. Overall, seems to be a generally well run server. Now for the things that I was not a fan of and maybe its just settings: 1. No tent? usually not a problem but see loot spawns below. 2. players said that tents placed down won't hold loot as a result of the recent bug. Couldnt' test that cause I had no tent. 3. The amount of racial slurs was off putting to say the least. usually I can put up with that stuff as its part of our degrading socieity. If its allowed on your servers then fine but if its not, lets get admins to clean it up some. 4. Loot spawn. Maybe 5 hours wasn't enough but there is WAY too much trash and not enough useful items. I am use to being able to return to an area 3 hours later and gathering more stuff. I found 3 sets of matches in the first 10 minutes, about 5 maps, 5-10 watches and 5-10 compasses which since I start off with these things may as well be trash. 5. I wanted to check out what you mean by custom buildings but since I spent most my time trying to find food I really didnt have time for sight seeing. 6. Vehicles are plenty, atleast motorcycles seemed to be everywhere. Problem is they are all half/not working. I know your server message said to destroy them but eveytime I did I was swarmed by zombies so I stopped that effort pretty quick. Other servers seem to have vehicle balancing down so I suspect you will figure it out at some point. Overall I would give your server an 8/10. I will give it a few more days to see if its my permanent home and if there is another west coast server which is more suited to my bambi needs please let me know. Thanks. James
