The only statistic I would accept is one that has how long your character has been alive. This should be the main objective and focus of playing the game. I would accept a server lockout for two reasons: 1. It would detach you from your previous character. As much as I hate people talking about going back to get their gear, I must confess that I tried once(and failed) out of pure anger after being killed by zombies while fully kitted out. 2. You could join a different server and have a much more "new" experience because of different players, loot or vehicles. Getting too familiar with your surroundings is a bad thing. You're meant to be kinda lost. Its bad enough knowing the map by heart.

Hello everyone I am sure I am not just speaking for my self when I say that I am getting sick and tired of all the ''24/7daylight-starting gear-max vehicles'' bullshit servers. So my question is if anyone knows a good European server wich focuses more on the survial, either on Panthera, Namalsk or Chernarus. All these new servers are doing my head in!

In that case ignore me. Stopped playing ages ago and only really started again in the past few days. ;D Vehicles auto-save now then?

i have a question too about vehicles when do they reset? just when they are destroyed? or when the car isnt used 4 a while it gets resetted? thx

Shameless promotion of our new UK server. around 200 Vehicles, a lot already repaired at least 6 Choppers 24/7 daytime start with makarov to defend yourself PvP and clans welcome Crash Sites, Care Packages and Wrecks enabled Active Admins, Battle Eye, DaRT and Gotcha against hackers DB rollback in case of mass kill / cheat Server restarts every 6 hours, so crash site loot respawns regulary 3P:ON CH:ON NP:OFF IP: 5.63.147.156:3102 or search for PussyPatrol Hope to see you there :D

Have now relocated the server to the UK due to most current players playing from the UK. If you want to come check us out you are more than welcome. I have spent some time this morning adding plenty of new vehicles along the coast so you shouldn't be running for more than 5 minutes before you find a vehicle or two, most coast vehicles are bikes and motor bikes with lots of cars in towns and villages, these do have some damaged components as I don't want to make things too easy.

I don't think you've missed anything. DayZ is a mod only, it's not meant to have more to it than what you've experienced. Not yet anyway. And some players just find player killing amusing, for that I'd suggest migrating to Wasteland, another really good Arma2 survival mod. Less survival, more weapons and more vehicles. And you get up to 80 players playing one map, more than enough action.

Vehicles which I have got out of and saved are perfectly fine after restarts. If I'm driving one then yeah, it will disappear. Although once that didn't happen, not really sure why.

If you're looking for a home then you and any clan mates are welcome on our server :) Check this post for more info http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/117214-uk777-dayz-taviana-maximum-vehicles-always-day-more/

Never had a problem with stationary vehicles coming back after a restart, but moving ones have been known to go missing. We lost a little bird last night because of it.

Just play Arma 2. That's basically what the game is with lot's more toys and vehicles. You already have it installed so you might as well give it a go.

namalsk is the best map for action and my personal favourite in dayz i play namalsk or taviana but tavi can grow boring without vehicles or the way it spans now in latest version (previous patch was better)

we could use the direct chat as a whisper chat working only in a very very short range....the group chanel would be what the direct chat is right now.....the vehicle chat could work as a cb radio allowing communication between vehicles..the side chat would be only for contacting the admins... just an idea....

Hey, been having fun in this server for a few weeks now and have a quite a few regulars on there. It's definitely a "bandit" "squad" oriented server, with lots of fully repaired vehicles and the fact that you spawn with load out and can easily find things makes it easy to get into action. It creates some pretty amazing situations. We have a TS available, and all of our other server information is available at det0x.net . Server resets every 3 hours. I'm always willing to listen to player feedback on things, so if there is an over running opinion for Bloodsuckers or EVR that could come as well. I'm a pretty active admin and we have many others active so we keep the hackers out and everyone pretty much has fun even when pvp goes down its friendly. Max Players: 50 Vehicles: 200 (20+ Choppers, mostly civilian choppers) Restart timer: 3 hours Difficulty: Veteran Blood Suckers: ON EVR: Off IP: 75.126.39.68:2532 BTW, CUSTOM BUILDINGS AND LOOT ADDED! det0x

ok since it seems a bit difficult to understand my sarcasm... in my eyes there are some ingame mechanics that makes things too easy for clans which leads to a more battlefield stylish gameplay ...as I said before, clans are very often hiding their vehicles outside the map and they mostly can pick up their killed members directly when they respawn at the beach with their vehicles ( sometimes helis)...this way they are able to save their gear or to get it back from their own dead bodies very easy.... so death is not a real penalty for them.....of course the game should reward teamplay but it should be fair and ballanced...

No, I was talking about gear in vehicles. Guns on the floor would disappear.

Some of these comments are making assumptions that the standalone's supply of vehicles and ease of coordination are the same. I seriously doubt it will be as easy as calling in your heli. Most people are far from being that organized in every server they play on. Frankly, I'd be just as happy with completely random spawns. Spawning in a true middle-of-nowhere situation makes the survival aspect of the game ring a bit truer than spawning at some predictable place along the coast where all you need is a quick run to cherno to get back into the swing of things. It might also allow coastal cities to be used as high-risk high-reward locations to the fullest extent rather than letting bambis who don't care if they live or die run in and eat the place clean every 2 minutes.

Wait, so if I dropped a DMR on the floor just before a restart, it should remain on the floor after the restart? What about when I log off? If I log off, will gear on the floor disappear? And vehicles?

Gear and location should remain. Occasionally all tents and vehicles disappear on server restart, if that's the case it should return at the next restart. (that's if that bug still exists) If you were driving when the server restarted or very close to it, it might be a few hundred metres back.

...isn't it ironic...don't you think... OF COURSE it should not be possible to spawn near a squadleader...in fact we have to find ways to make it even more difficult for clans...for example we need borders around Chernorus to stop them hiding vehicles in the middle of nowhere outside of the regular map

Hey all! Not so new, but a question a bambi would ask. What happens to vehicles, exactly? I mean, one minute I am driving down the road, and then a wild restart comes, and my vehicle is gone. How does the vehicle mechanics work in this game, exactly? If I left my car at a place that no one would ever find it, and let's say no one did, and it had some gear in it.. What exactly happens? On restarts, does the vehicle restart its gear, and location? Thanks alot in advance!

Any building you can enter will have loot spawn. They're good places to hide vehicles & tents tho(or look for them).

I like the M14AIM for all around long range and close quarters team fights. As for a good looting non-pvp gun, I like the M4A1 CCO SD. My loadout right now though is an M107 and M240 with a M9 SD sidearm. The only reasoning for my load-out is that I play on a squad heavy server and I use the guns to take out their vehicles.

Do NOT join this server for the following reasons: (I played with these people, and believe it or not, this is what happens) -They dupe items CONSTANTLY, and keep tent cities hidden up north filled with gear. -They horde vehicles, and restart the server if you steal one so they can try to retrieve it before you can get back to it. -Will ban you if you kill too many of them. -They're known for shutting down the server if one of them gets killed so their death isn't registered to the hive -Constantly camp big cities with their infinite gear and snipe ANYONE. Even bambis with no gear. -Admins will use their tools to give their regulars the location of people they aren't associated with. For instance, if I was playing on the server and was in their Teamspeak, the admins would sometimes tell me if other players were nearby. --- There is a lot of other things that they do that makes this server really illegitimate. Please avoid it at all costs if you value a fair game. They're known for being really inconsistent and shutting off the server for long periods of time because of "hacking." Thats right, the admins get tired of doing their job? So long to your server.The admins are really unfriendly and think they know everything. When they shutdown the server for a couple of months, they banned me from the TS and dropped contact with me on steam to avoid criticism for shutting it down. No integrity whatsoever. I don't have proof for any of this, but if you do some independent research on these forums, you'll find plenty of complains for US 866. Happy hunting, -D.Wright (Slazors)
