So, i made a first look at this server (its my opionion): Buildings - Many new added bringing a whole new flair to the Coast. In example Kamenka has now some lootabel buildings and a small camp near. Balota Airfield was revamped and more. Overall the Cities i saw with new added Building are made very good. The Buildings fit where they were placed, you won´t even recognize it if you don´t know dayz well and it makes an overall new feeling about the "worthless" city´s. Vehicles - Some new Vehicles were added and are easy to find some pretty nice ones too :) , for a full list look at the Homepage. Shop - wasn´t abel to find it yet , but when if found it i will write somethig about it. Dog´s -Same as above I would recommend the server for people that likes cheranus and want a bit variety. When i got time i will look deeper in the things promised for the server. Paddy

Even before TrackIR i was full aware of where my limbs were, actually you don't really have to be that aware because you can't trip anyways. And if you want to look if you have a hard on just use free look for a second. With TrackIR my behaviour didn't really change other than i don't use an extra finger for looking around since i'm using my own head to scan for threats. Actually looking around you with or without gadgets is more immersive than using 3P since at least i don't get a feel of my body unless i am "inside". Quite the same as driiving, If i had to use a camera that's attached behind my car IRL i would run into everything, even in game i can maneuver better when in the car and even inside an armored vehicle. Needing help when maneuvering a vehicle where you have blind spots adds to the realism of it and of course having blind spots in vehicles is only natural. The explanation about having a feel for your body from BIS when in 3P is pathetic imo because you don't need the feeling when you can actually see it and you never develop the feeling of immersion that way.

All I can say is. If you can fly a helicopter in game. Which I know for a fact that not many people can do in real life. I'm not going to even get in to the Mechanics it takes to just start one, and much less what is takes to fly one. So since anyone can fly those in game, why can't you fly a drone for long range scanning. Now don't take this as I want this in the game. I think Helicopters, Planes, and Parachutes should all be removed. Boats and Land based Vehicles I'm fine with. Oh hey got a Huey w/ M60 machine guns FTW!!!! UGH!!!!!

Having recently been kamikaze'd in an Offroad by a Little Bird, whose pilot parachuted feet from the ground and then opened fire on landing, removal the gift parachute gets my vote. The damage suffered on impact should be calculated proportional to speed, which goes for ground vehicles as well. As for bailing out, the last real event I can recall was from a test programme in the 1990's. The crew of four escaped, including the pilot, though he was injured from jumping late to avoid houses. They took chutes specifically because of the high altitude tests they were conducting at 12,000 feet. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crew-bails-out-as-helicopter-crashes-1614706.html On the other hand, I saw another one spin into the ground in 2004 from a low hover after take-off. All the crew survived, with three walking wounded and two taken to hospital. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/cornwall/3583409.stm

This is TL;DR material...just a heads up. When I first came onto DayZ, I immediately acquainted myself with other in-game players to formulate a survival group; In hind sight, it was a very...very...bad idea. People may tell themselves that they'll continue to be a good player (i.e - Not stealing from others, not killing others, etc), but this will change quickly. I first became a bandit from being constantly killed by others and from teaming up with others who led me to believe that we were all on the same page. This is probably the most common way someone becomes a bandit. One day, I teamed up with four people for about two weeks and we communicated our intentions over Skype. We created a base that was well thought out and well hidden, we distributed tasks somewhat fairly; it seemed to be going well. The last day I stopped being associated with them was when I was driving back from the airport with one guy, heading back to our base. A server restart came up so we stepped out of the vehicle before it did. Once it rebooted, I jumped in the car but he asked me get out for a second, I assumed he wanted an item. He immediately killed me, took all my valuables, and hid my body (hiding a body makes it and the rest of the items on the person disappear into the ground). He did it because the team supposedly took a vote to cast me off because I was annoying. The real story was that they all fought verbally over Skype when someone incidentally spoke over another while relaying objectives. The other members denied being part of the attack. I threatened them that I knew where the base was still established and that I was going to get them all. The betrayer stated; "Go ahead, I dare you. We have lots of firepower at the base", and he wasn't lying. They did have lots of military weapons at the base I helped get. Once I arrived there, all the vehicles were moved; it didn't take one person to move two Urals and a few transport vehicles. I was extremely mad, and got off for awhile; they thought I wasn't coming back. I came onto the DayZ Forum and immediately saw a posting that someone was seeking hardcore bandits. I told this person that I was interested in the offer and requested a favor. "I need help getting back at my former team who killed me for nothing and now are against me". He replied; "I'm in". Thirty (30) minutes later, we're on the server. The first member of the team was spotted 150m out in the desert field. We fired the sniper rifles multiple times in his direction and killed him. "What the fu*k dude? I never killed you. Why did you kill me?". The reasoning for his death was that he took part in moving the vehicles and never took sides with me. The next was another person whom my newly-met assassin gunned down. We took a Heuy to find their new base. "Come and find me, I dare you", the betrayer said. He made excuses on how he was the only one online out of the whole team; knowing that we already took out the others. In the end; we killed all the team members, destroyed their base with items that took hours of obtaining, and set them all back to the beginning. They created new profile names, and never came back to that server again. Take note; you will eventually become a bandit for it makes survival much easier, only team up with those you know in person OR take time to formulate trust over the DayZ forum. Above all; do not turn on your teammates and expect nothing to happen. Thanks for reading, and safe hunting. -Xilstealth

First off i want to mention that i do know that subsonic ammunition is already in the game, the poll asks what is most important, not what should be implemented. i have been thinking, what if DayZ had more types of ammunition? i would certainly not be surprised to find expanding ammo for hunting rifles in a similar situation, as it is commonly used for hunting. i would not be surprised to see other more military ammo types. this is what i have come up with so far: Incindiery: i would say a plain damage boost plus irrepairable damage to tissue if the medical system will support it. this would be very rare, and when you also have to find the right caliber, this would be reasonably balanced. HE: this type of ammo could be used for increased damage to vehicles, and could be (with the incindiery) be one of the rarest types available. Expanding: this would be the civilian equivalent to incindiery, with a damage boost against infantry. the bullet could do less damage to vehicles as the ammo is softer than normal. Edit: NOW WITH AMMO BOX! i take no credit for this 3D model or skin. Suggestions and criticism is appreciated.

*UPDATE* More then 70+ vehicles

Hi, i am new on this server and i must say from all the private servers i have been on this one is very good. I have seen very well developed areas and load of vehicles and needed supplies. I like how you guys elaborated Skalisty island and made a whole story involving it. The S.O.S messsage coming from the island makes it more realistic and cool. Thumbs up for that. Hope you guys implement more of these areas around the map. Being only in Cherno and Electro tends to get boring sometimes. I hope more people join this server and can enjoy it like i do. Well done

So by now most of you reading these forums have encountered "end game" so to speak. Have any of you gone "Sheesh, I'm kinda bored"? The following question may not apply to Psychobandits (bambi killers) and regular bandits, coz most of em get kicks out of shouting "Hasta la vista, madarfaykar" and then shooting someone in the lip, but hear me out: Has anyone considered starting anew? Most of you are probably mentally screaming "BLASPHEMER!!!" And are ready to skip to flaming my post, but have you ever considered it? What if you had to commit suicide and just leave your corpse, your vehicles, your camp behind? I personally found the game more fun when there was less military loot involved. If you have restarted for whatever reason, lemme know, I'd like to see the different opinions on this topic

Thanks to Dagger and Jiggyballs, our DayZ, tf2 and cs servers are back up! Below is the info for our DayZ server: 198.24.161.202:2302 *NEW IP* DayZ - TPG Private Hive VA US106 [DayZ 1.7.5.1/101747] [Regular, Max Vehicle, *Always Day*] Please note 1) the new ip and 2) the database is brand new - meaning if you've played on us106 before you character, vehicles, tents, etc are GONE. This is in no way ideal, but such is life. For more info, please head to totalpunishmentgaming.com Stay safe, chernarus!

Vehicles are at 42, mike is right, a tractor has spawned. Zd's now spawn anywhere you are and they want to eat your brains too! :D P.S. new update today, 1.7.6 V3, server time and flares, chemlights have been fixed too. Reported to devs and looking into this issue, please mail me when this happens, as above new build today. Another glitch, new build today, mail me or chat on TS3 with bugs. Kind regards and beans for bumping :beans: :beans: :beans: Mac

Your definition of interaction is exactly the reason why a majority of players prefer not to interact with players they don't know.Also, while DayZ is multiplayer that doesn't mean DayZ = FPS game where the goal is to kill everyone else. If that is your cup of tea, then honestly, I think vanilla ArmA2 multiplayer is what you need. Then again, play DayZ the way you want, just don't expect everyone else to play the game your way. For me, multiplayer in DayZ is teamwork to stay alive and help friends and teammates get equipped as well as getting vehicles and so forth. The added element of potential hostile survivors just helps enhance the fun when entering towns and cities. However, if I wanted just a pure PvP FPS game, then I would play Battlefield, "vanilla" ArmA, Blacklight Retribution, Ghost Recon or even The War Z (which is much more FPS oriented than DayZ). As for Kamenka. I don't mind that spawn point. Where I spawn doesn't matter as much since friends can pick me up with a car or motorcycle anyways, so I never stay long in those areas. Only times I spend time there is if we need spare parts for vehicles, then I just sprint through all the loot locations and get a quick overview if there is anything worthwhile grabbing before I get picked up. If I was a fresh spawn then Kamenka would be fine. Grab whatever you can from Kamenka, then hit deerstands as you run to Zelenogorsk, raid the supermarket and you are set to go whereever afterwards. My favourite spawn point must be Quarry. I dunno, but I like spawning on the east side of Chernarus.

Me and my friend were playing on Lingor Island for the first time on a server that looked decent had cool people and was setup the way we like. I spawned near Villa Oscura my friend spawned near Calamar. He battled his way out of Calamar found a tube frame small pickup truck, I scavenged the nearby villages for food and got into a few small skirmishes at a helicopter crash-site. After me and my friend both felt comfortable with our gear we decided to Rendezvous. We met up near Los Peligron at the fuel station, We looted the barracks and military offices nearby and we heard a vehicle... Our truck was parked under the lean-to at the fuel pump and we had an abundance of ammo with some pretty nice assault rifles and silenced Sub-Machineguns. We dropped back into the fuel station and setup an ambush assuming the vehicle we heard over the hill in the distance was comming in for a fuel stop. We waited about 25 minutes for this slow sounding vehicle to show up it got closer and closer extremely slowly we were quite confused. Suddenly the vehicle emerged into the ambush site, It was an armored vehicle/tank... I'm not sure what kind it was but we both unloaded over 200 rounds each into it and we hit it with a grenade... It ran us both over and never even fired a single round. So after us both putting in about four hours each into this server as legitimate players we were killed by a pretty much indestructable vehicle... So we blew up side chat trying to figure out if the guy scripted it in as a hacker or what. The Owner/Admin spawned four of them into the map upon request to a few select players. I wasn't that mad about what happened, but in DAYZ having that vehicle means the end game what is the point? I feel like dayz, being a survival game should be a challenge and being a server owner/admin you should give people a challenging experience not throw armored vehicles/tanks into the server especially when there is only four of them and 30+ people. After everyone knew the tanks were there the population of the server dropped to about 10 and i am guessing those were the people that were using the armored vehicles. I myself decided to never go on that server again, but what would you have done and what is your opinion of this situation/experience. You tell me! thanks and feel free to share you stories as well. -Jeremiah- AKA [bEAST]Wolverine

Hey I am a Not and admin, but I believe I can answer the questions for you. Had a couple of questions -Panda (and other admins if you know) 1. Yes, but the old sever will be up for a while (for a week or so for the transition) 2. Yes. 3. I believe its a complete fresh character. 3. I see there are planes, lots more vehicles and gear. 4. there is potential to hold different maps (10 servers) Thats as much as I know m8, hope it helps.

The view-angle rendering that BelMarduk mentions is a perfectly reasonable solution. In conjunction with your "Alt+scroll" control, it would allow a player to glance and gain awareness of their own character, without exploiting the ability to track other players around corners or over walls. In fact, I'd go so far as to allow ONLY your own character to render while in 3dp (no players, no zeds. no loot, no vehicles) regardless of LOS. Consider it "concentrating on yourself rather than your surroundings" I use 3dp myself. I like to see what my character is up to, and it can be REALLY handy when trying to tell how far you stick out of cover, or if you're about to fall off a roof. The fact is, if it's exploitable it WILL BE exploited. I'm not accusing anyone, just pointing out a basic fact of the matter. This subject has been done to death. And though there are a couple of decent thoughts here, it really wasn't worth creating ANOTHER new topic on it. EDIT: Went back and highlighted a bit, since this far down the page nobody is even reading eachothers posts.

Clan Wars Have broken out on Trauma Server, Epic turf battles are happening, there are currently 3 Clans in a War on Trauma Server, looking to add more Clans / Groups to the Mix. Its never too late to get established, last weeks dominating clan has been surpassed by a new up coming clan these past few days, and their bases have been destroyed, its time to get in the action and get established with some gear. Trauma Server is NOT run by a Clan, making it the best home for your Clan, We Admins do not play favorites and keep everything fair and even. If your looking for a Clan, you'll find one looking for fresh recruits on our Server. Over 400+ Vehicles and 4 Custom Military bases, gearing up is as easy as fixing up that old clunker in Cherno and getting up North, Search us on Facebook or YouTube Search; Trauma Server OR Simply search Trauma in Day Z Commander. Hope to see you in the mix, - Forest

Hello, everyone we've recently set up a private hive DayZ 1.7.5.1 server with stock settings and ~65 vehicles. We run at +6 UTC time with regular night day cycles and stock dayz features. We used to host public server US 3760 under the tag Blight Centurions which was very popular for a short time but eventually fell to bad support from the provider Survival Servers and hackers. We got tired of being unable to provide players killed by hackers with more support, such as the ability to roll back their gear that we decided to start a private server. So if you're tired of being killed by hackers on public servers and need a place to call home come join our server. We offer fair and active admins, hive rollbacks every 30 minutes in case of hackers wiping out the server, and a friendly community where racism,trolling, or whining is not tolerated. We hope to turn this into a community for players who want to enjoy the game the way it was meant to be.

I am scared to even test saving in vehicles, Shoker. Two servers I was on, vehicles disappeared after restart. Then, returned after subsequent restarts. So fed up, I went ahead and created a private server so I can actually test and stop guessing.

Hey guys! Me and my friends have been trying to find a server, to make our "home server" but we can't seem to find one... Whenever we join a server, there's either a hacker trying to mess with people and ruin the game, and after having spent hours on finding gear, its just not fun dying to hackers all the time... I know it's a common question but is there any suggestions to a server which fulfills the following criterias -NO spawning gear. -NO hackers -Vehicles enough (so you don't have to spend all day on finding a vehicle) -Fairly populated. -Active admins -Whitelisted is okay - just post link :) -Friendly people, but not too commanding. -Fair ping -not too glitchy. -Taviana, cherno, namalsk. :emptycan: thats all folks, any suggestions will be accepted! Appreciate it! :D :thumbsup: //SPDT LAU :beans:
