A fun new server that only has 20 slots, but dont let that dissapoint you. We need players bandit or hero. Hell you can be a survivor if you'd like. Clans, feel free to come and make bases and such there is enough vehicles to go around. I have been playing on the server for a while and i like it admins are on just about all the time i will leave an ip below check it out guys thanks! 64.120.53.5:2322

This server is really amazing. Got lots of vehicles but not too much , but the best is balance ! There is a lot of new buildings so u wont only go to cherno / electro / stary sobor / NW airfield ! also admins are active.

I don't get what's the big deal about using NPCs to guard a base. I like the idea, as it would make raiding bases more of a challenge. Realistically (and isn't that what we're all wanting here?) if someone had the resources and manpower to build a base, they would be able to have lookouts on watch at all times. You wouldn't be able to raid the base simply because they're all gone for the night. Now I would go for a system where once you create a certain structure (one requiring quite a bit of resources to build), you are able to recruit a NPC lookout. Larger groups would have an easier time gathering the resources because of their numbers and thus build bigger and better protected bases, whereas small groups would have a harder time gathering resources resulting in some low security/unprotected bases. Also, the NPCs would only be present for say 5/6 hours a day, allowing you to have some sort of protection during the hours you are not logged in. The limit on how many hours they could be present would mean that there is still some room for an unprotected base, unless you stagger their shifts. The skill level of the AI should be fairly okay. They wouldn't be deadeyes but they wouldn't be pushovers neither. This would be more fun and makes it a challenge for any raiders trying to steal your stuff, because I don't see any fun in just trying to dodge boobytraps or break down locks to make it into an empty base. As I see it now, there would be no incentive to build a base or acquire vehicles, only to have someone ransack it when you log off.... thus leading to the same thing that happens now when people have nothing to work towards: mass banditry. Players that would rather not kill every player they see have nothing to do really, and I see bases as being a great way to combat that but only if there is some sufficient security for them.

I have become a regular on your server over the past two weeks or so. I have met a decent amount of people that regularly play on your server as well. Some of us were wondering if you guys would consider removing the nametags? My postition and vehicles have been give away many times because of this. If your crosshair angles just right you can see vehicles over 1000 meters away! It is just a suggestion that me and a few other regualrs on your server wouldn't mind to see changed. Also, your website isn't working for me!

Hey Sumrak, Could you please post a list of "allowed" vehicles for Namalsk? I run a server, and was just experimenting with adding various vehicles from my server provider's database to the map, and several spawned but were invisible until I replaced them with more common ones. For instance, I wanted to add a few of the tan desert humvees, the desert M1030, and a GAZ Vodnik. However, I suppose these have not been approved to run in Namalsk yet? A list of "approved" or "permitted" vehicles would be awesome. I am running .741 with 1.7.6.1 by the way, and I think it is great. Thanks for the update.

Thanks Skadefroen. :) All basic features are back up and running (including day/night mode and crash sites). These were temporarily offline due to some minor issues on the server hosting side ... but I am happy to say that we are 100% operational. In order to drive more players to the server, I have temporarily disabled whitelisting and the server is free to join for anyone. I will look at whitelisting the server again at a later stage if things get out of hand. I have ensured that Battleye and Battleye Extended Controls are 100% operational and I comb the logs on a daily basis ... so the server is safe to play. Please join us, I am a very friendly admin and Skadefroen has become a regular on the server. The server is vanilla and the only change is that vehicles have a higher spawn chance ... but there are not more of them ... it is the default amount with the default spawn points. My vehicles also have random loadouts ... so no two vehicles spawn with the same gear. :) They also spawn in random states of repair ... you might get lucky and find a fully working vehicle. This is to be expected in a Zombie Apocalypse. Hope to see you online ... and remembaer: Stay Strong Survive Long. :)

Thanks Guys. So it seems you can just keep an eye out in the database. What about the guys who spawn in things like boxes of weapons or vehicles? What file could I check for that. Also, what string of text should I be looking for? Is there a "player name spawned weapon box"?

How about a convoy of jeeps BRDM and medical vehicles who got stuck on a dirt road in a thick forest or marsh/swamp and got overun by zombies. see pic: http://st.gdefon.ru/wallpapers_original/wallpapers/392505_stalker_boloto_zil_chelovek_1920x1200_%28www.GdeFon.ru%29.jpg Or a overgrown abandoned Vilage in the swamps see pic http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120204213037/stalker/images/6/68/CS_marsh_church_south.jpg There could also be some small manmade caves around the marsh and swamps see pic http://images4.alphacoders.com/296/296338.jpg

Do you guys play a server called RETRIBUTION - PvP - 200+ Vehicles - Bases - 24/7 (1.7.6.1/102285) [Regular] Private Hive with Mods, If so, then I might join!

We usually host 20 servers per machine, some machines actually have dual xeon 2660's instead of 2620's which gives them 4 more cores, those can have up to 26 servers. I've posted before but our metrics are available here: http://ersan.us/src/munin/ - we monitor CPU usage pretty closely and if we see any problems we will adjust a machine's maximum allowed servers accordingly. Every instance is basically guaranteed a full CPU core, and since arma2oaserver is essentially single threaded if you are somehow using too many resources (if you see a core on the CPU history that is above 90%) that means you are actually maxing out an entire CPU core, which means there is nothing we can do about it. You'll have to find a way to reduce your CPU usage - be it through less vehicles, less players, less battleye filters, removing custom anticheats, etc. etc. Hardly ever is lag the fault of our hardware, it is almost always a server misconfiguration which the client is responsible for. I don't know who you are or what server you are on but if you want to check the statistics on your machine feel free to do so at the above link. It says very clearly on the contact page that IRC is for community support and for official support to e-mail us. Going in there to complain that your e-mails aren't getting answered fast enough isn't going to get you anywhere, sorry. I would take down the channel completely but a lot of people use it for its intended purpose, which is a knowledgebase and tool to collaborate on server customization with other people who run servers. I told toker and xir not to be rude to customers but if they feel like someone is causing a problem they are authorized to ban people.

Hey guys, Beck's is running a very cool private hive server. Lots of vehicles, 24/7 daylight during weekdays, standard cycle on weekends, and all types of players (bandit, survivor, and hero). Admins are very fair and there's some great anti-hack software running. They've also got a Teamspeak for everyone to use as well. It's a great place to get a good start and join an active, fun community. Here's the IP for the server: 173.193.48.137:3221 Or search for "Beck's" in DayZCommander.' Here's the IP for the Teamspeak: becks-privateers.com:9995 Hope to see you online! Happy Hunting! :)

If someone wanted to make a proper "no PVP" server, they'd remove all the weapons spawns. Players would have to be more careful about aggroing zombies. They'd also have to spawn more wood piles.,, wait, actually they wouldn't since you'd be unable to kill cows. And remove the vehicles so you can't run over people. "No PvP" servers make about this much sense.

If you dont mind, let me share an experience with you. So after about a weeks worth of playing, I find a corpse in the tower in the middle of NWA. When I looted them, I got a NVG, M9SD, M4A1 Holo, Coyote backpack, Rangefinders, GPS ETC. I sprawled around chernorus (Not chernogorsk) alone, going through most major locations. Being a survivor type, not a settler, I didn't go find any vehicles, but just ran around collecting ammunition etc, and found 15SD clips, I hid somewhere in the big bad dark woods. I went to go bambi hunting (The competitive no-gear hunting kind) That you despise so much, and decided Komarovo would be the best place to start. So as I go in the building, it was already filled with corpses. Someone had a war here, and quickly I discovered I wasnt alone in the building. I disregarded my bad intentions, and asked nicely (X4) for them to just come out and I wouldnt hurt them (I was serious about that). They stayed in a corner, with an axe so I sidestepped in and shot an entire clip in them (Sorry, but I cant trust an axe guy, whos unresponsive, obviously waiting for me, blocking my way to the roof and lastly in a building full of corpses.) I saw a bandit run by, (probably did some killing himself) and decided not to shoot at him, but rather to take some zombies off of him. He ran off, and seemed to be going a big circle seeing as he was going back from heading to balota (within 3 minutes) back to Kamenka. As I was shouting for him to come here, a bambi came by, and I ordered him to go upstairs. and I decided to give him my M9SD (put it in a zombie) So as we go down (Was gonna leave him, just wanted him to have a silent gun) he starts bleeding and I bandage him. As I go down he ACCIDENTLY <<< Note; this was a good guy and a sure accident- hits me with his M9SD once, while a zombie is down the ladder while im climbing) or the zombie did it. I decided to ask him to do the humane thing (Out of bandages) and just pop a cap in my skull. After refusing for about 3 minutes I convince him to just go behind me and shoot me, and keep all my gear. He does, and I never saw him again. Went looting afterwards, found a M4A1 CCO SD, M9SD and camo clothes, within 4 hours. Karma still exists guys, and even though it might just be a few lucky spawns (Still had a tent with 15SD clips, had a day of fun before abandoning all these items in a tent) helping a different group out. For every ammount of assholes, theres good people like me aswell. Just think in their perspective too, been playing for 1?-2 years, shot a hell of a load of zombies, and sometimes boredom makes people jerks. I would personally not shoot anything that isnt armed and "has ideas", sometimes a little sport aswell (Gear vs enfields) but surely, good guys like me take out the bandits either ways. If you dont like the bullshit, I got a good whitelist server you might want to check out. Hacker free zone, and people are pretty friendly :) P.S I agree with the topic fully, dont get me wrong. Have a nice experience, and happy hunting guys.

My server has custom scripts and added vehicles and I notice very little lag.

Dear DayZ Community & DayZ Developer(s), I have only been playing DayZ for a couple of days now (with a couple of clan-mates, they have been playing much much longer than I) But, even though I never installed and played DayZ I have kept up with it since the beginning(just never got around to installing ARMA 2 again) So, Finally having installed ARMA 2-CO and installing the mod and playing it with my friends. and, me being such a avid survivalist fan as well as a Zombie fan. I have a couple of suggestions and would like to hear your take on it. I will bullet point each one and would like a discussion on each one if possible? Making Objective specific places: For Military Equipment(Choppers,Tanks,APC's, .50cals,ammo) in Military Bases(instead of everywhere) As well as Civilizan Sided things Supermarket for Food/batteries/etc.. Hospital for Medicine/Food/Tape/etc.. FreeTowns: Randomly generated towns with AI & Player security that are NO-FIRE zones(but, can be attacked both by players/zombies) that you can go into and buy equipment from both players camped there or AI that was sold the equipment/food/drink/etc.. Also, allowing the implamentation of a Bounty system by having a Bounty wall. (there is no prison in town. you get bad with the players you go to the wall and get taken out/killed by whoever accepts and they get the currency awarded) Currency: Maybe doing some sort of Currency or "Barter" System where say a shotgun is Worth 3 Cans of Food or 2 bottles of clean water or 1 morphine syinge. Military Vehicles: Choppers,Tanks,Armored Cars or Personel Carriers: Would go with Objective Specific Places Civiliian Vehicles: Choppers,Planes,Cars,Trucks,Boats Modifyable Vehicles: The Ability to find parts such as barbed wire and place them on the sides of your car to rip and shred both humans and zombies as you nearly miss them or, being able to put steel around windows of a car to help deflect(but only certian types of ammo/weapons) and zombies from killing you in your car. Safe Islands: Go to a island and rest from zombies. But, are attackable by boat or players to fight over. Camps or Fortresses: You can outfit with Civilian or Military equipment that you found: Fences,Barbed Wire, Electric Fences(must have a generator/fuel/technical applitude) Harder to find food/water. I think it is to easy to find food or water in our current DayZ mod. Water Pollution: Some water can make you sick if you fill your cantena with it.. Diseases: You can get bitten by zombies(which you will get turned into a AI zombie after a period of falling down,and being a burden to your group) or Diseases from contaminated water or uncooked food or cut with barbed wire(only a chance) that you can treat with anti-biotics(that may or may not cure you) Suburbs: Actual ones, not just one house and then another house 300ft from it. I mean like 50/60 houses down one street. make some enterable. Defenses: regarding #12 allow you to board up houses or lock doors or closets etc.. Horde: Make a lot more zombies travel in packs. Night is Dangerous: Make it where Chem Lights only last a little while. Fire constantly needs wood to keep it going, Rain will extinguish fire and in the dark is when zombies are most active they have heightend senses such as deaf or blind people can smell or touch or even hear better. Groups: Make groups encourageable. it takes more than one too survive. But, it can be done Lone Wolf style.. it will be just twice if not 3x as hard. Raiding: Being able to Raid FreeTowns for what you need..if you can kill the AI or the Players that protect it Fire: Make it so that you can burn zombies or players or trees or houses or fortresses, and that players or zombies will be hurt if they stay in a burning house or camp(depending on how close the fire is or how it spreads) Sleeping: You need to sleep every so often if you do not you will end up passing out(which you can be attacked or die by a fire) till your sleep has recovered. (can be done offline or online in a tent or laying prone somewhere and pressing the sleep button) Tents: be able to make them off the ground too or put them ontop of a car(search google). Sleeping Bags: Same with sleeping make them hold less than a tent but ability to sleep anywhere and pick it up only take up 3? 4? slots. More Diverse bags: So many bags... both for hikers,campers,military and school. Need moar! DayZ Standalone ARMA 2 or 3?: I know it is not running on those but I mean what engine is it running? this hasn't really been answered. For now this is all I can think of.. but I will medidate on this later tonight and come back tomorrow and add to the list. Let me know what you all think. Sorry for spelling too.. not really awake atm. Take Care & God Bless SuperTine

tents/vehicles yes we could stick to that bases ...well i don't think so tbh

In the admin control panel you can see if someone has spawned in vehicles or loot. Also, if in a time frame of 10 hours, someone has an as50, NVG's, rangefinders, entrenching tool/toolbox, and several vehicles, they probably aren't legit. While it can happen, as50's, nvgs and rangefinders very rarely spawn together. Make sure you don't ban anybody without proof of some kind.

I sometimes play on a US dayZ.st server that is always full 50/50 and it's one of the quickest servers I've played on. I don't get any lag and I have 200ms + ping being in Australia. It has 300+ vehicles and new towns everywhere. Don't have the address handy, but it's a BhR clan server. Ill post it on here when I'm home. Soo idk what you guys make of that but I think it's unfair to say that DayZ.st servers are laggy when there is a perfect example of a good server that is under the most challenging environment and still performs excellently. Just saying

I'm not sure anyone read my suggestion in the other thread (no one replied) so i'll just write it here (and make it short). Basically the idea is to have servers that are active only one day a week (just a proposition). So you would play on that server just on fridays for example. And every other day that server would be inaccessible. So everything you did on friday is safe until next friday, whether it's your vehicles, your tents, some kind of base or a penis drawn with empty tin cans on roof of the cherno hospital. And since it's dumb for servers to be active only once a week, the idea is that the servers stay active every day but just to load a different state for an appropriate day. Just try to think for 5-10 minutes how would this work, and i'm sure you will realize many benefits from this system. I said i'll keep it short so i'm not gonna write some examples, but there are some in the other thread. The link is in the original post here. I would really like to hear some opinions on this idea.

The tents and vehicles exist on a single server only.

Hello fellow Dayz players. I have being playing on multiple servers to find the best one for me. i found a chernarus server with 250+ Vehicles which is brilliant if you enjoy cruising around. There is also a good chance of coming across a helicopter to for those pilot junkies. The best thing about this server is the players and the general community of the server. There are plenty of people willing to help out a fresh spawn, but beware not all players are friendly! The staff are great and will always ensure that the server runs well and that everybody is happy, They are approachable and are online most of the time. This server also has added buildings you have to look a little harder to find some of the but can be rewarding when you find them. This is just a small feature which makes the server that little bit better than the rest. The server during the week is eternal daytime for players who dont like the dark, but on weekends the server turns to day/night to get a good mix of players on the server. i mainly play on during the week when its day cause im not a night person lol. i really recommend this server for players and i give it a 8 out of 10 as a rating. This is the best server i have played on to date so heres the IP 185.2.139.156:3051

So I've been playing on a server for a while now, getting good stuff, vehicles and all I was alone on the server, right? I just got launched up in the air and got killed Why did this happen? :(
