Lol.. are you serious? :D i tought it was the usual moaning about how "noob" it is the AS50 so ppl would go for a 107 or even a DMR/M24 .... but i see you really tought the M107 was better. - AS50 can use both the M107 mags and its own (NATO) mag to destroy the vehicles as well; - AS50 is a semi-auto sniper rifle, while the M107 is a bolt action rifle, you can use the AS50 even in closed combat, while with the M107 you may get in trouble due to the slower recharge if you miss the first shot; - AS50 has basically no recoil.. you can shot at the target like a noob until you hit it even without taking care of the aim and zeroing (assuming you don't care about the wasting ammo); - AS50 can be zeroed to 1600m, whenever the usage distance in dayz can't (usually) go over 1200m; - AS50 has a powerful zoom than the M107 (use the "+/-" numpad keys to change the modes); - AS50 is much quiter than the M107 (for players, not zeds). There's so many reason to prefer the AS50 that this question shouldn't even exists. The AS50 is damn OP, that's why ppl have asked many times to be removed from the mod.

The AS50 is far, far quieter. It has less recoil, and does more damage when it comes to vehicles.

It's was nice to see so many new players on the server and in the teamspeak the last couple of days! Hope you're enjoying it. Don't be shy in the teamspeak, and remember that it may take some hours before you become established/trusted. Just to also mention that this particular current beta build isn't great. Eg. · Zombies and loot aren't spawning consistently in some places. · There are sporadic problems when trying to refuel and repair vehicles. · Occasionally items are disappearing from backpacks/inventory after logging in/out. I'm sure there are some other annoyances too. It's still playable though, so the best thing is just to be patient and let's see how much of it the next build fixes.

Weapons: - Remove all NATO weapons (G36, M24, M40, DMR, M107/ AS50) and replace those with (SV-58 family, CZ550, even more CZ550, Normal SVD, KVSK) - Make Hunting Knife able to stab players and zombies. - More damage to Crowbar - More damage to Makarov, M1911, Revolver, SMG's. AK's, and Slugs. - Ammo more rare! - Not every building and schoolhouses should spawn Pistols and Bullets Crafting recipes: - Jerrycan + Bandage + Empty Whiskey Bottle = Molotov Cocktail Pure sense: - Eating canned food and drinking soda gives you empty tin- and soda cans, and becasue you need to drop them, other players know that there has been human activity nearby. - Food and drinks should be rare. - Legs are humans strongest bodyparts, and therefore they should not break so easily to punches from zombies and jumping over barbed wire. - Headshot kills. ZombieZ - Keep Crawler, Hopper and Runner, but add Walker, that is basically Runner, but WALKS everywhere. - More damage - Hearing should be made Worse for shorter ranges, and atleast two times better for long ranges. - Crawler = Commond, Hopper = Common, Walker = Almost every zombie, Runner/ Olympic sprinter = uncommon. Vehicles: - Remove all western vehicles, Hueys, HMMW's, and replace them with UAZ's and Civilian Mi-8 choppers. - Faster and more realistic offroad speeds. If you drive 95km/h downhill and then decide to go offroad, your Golf's speed does not drop by 80km/h... Radio: - Add radio to the loot table. - Change communication channels to: Whisper <10m Talk <35m Shout <100m Radio <7500m Loot tables: - Remove NV Goggles, this is not USA, This is Chernarus. - Ammo more rare. - Food and drinks more rare. - Medical supplies more rare. That's about all i can think of right now.

Ahhh, the fact that it uses M107 rounds instantly increases its value beyond that of the M107. I still prefer the M107 though. Just a better scope, really. I don't remember, does the AS50 double-zoom? Either way, I don't really have cause to shoot at vehicles. Not with a sniper rifle. I'd aim for the driver and try to get the vehicle unharmed. Thanks for the info guys.

1. It has alot less recoil when fired. 2. It is alot quieter. 3. You can use M107 mags in a AS50. 4. It destroys vehicles Alot faster.

As50 rounds do more damage to vehicles so you can stop people legging it in vehicles easier Plus you can use m107 rounds in the as50 but not vice versa so there's more flexibility ammo wise.

I have played here for a couple of months now, and this server has the best community by far, and you don't get KoS'd too often. Upsides for this server are that there is no KoS rule, so people can't snipe bambis from 600m away, or they get banned. Vehicles are common, but LittleBirds are a nuisance. Downsides is that because you need to make contacnt, some pircks just bind couple of macros, and they can basically rob half of the server, or shoot them without making any actual contact, and interacting with the victim. This is one of the best private servers out, but in the meantime it also can be quite annoying, if some 10yr olds just come and rob everybody, and then whine about getting shot. Server: 5/5 Players: 3/5 Admins: Corrupted Community: 4/5 Overall: 4/5.

1. 'Hardcore' servers for the people who don't have a life. Lower chance of military gear spawning, lower food spawn rates. Zombies are faster and have more health. Animals are rarer. Vehicles are pretty much non-existant, ammunition is exceptionally scarce and even regular guns are rare. Spawns are randomized completely (so no whoring out the barracks looking for military loot). And the hardcore servers have their own HIVE. 2. a 'squad' ability. The squad leader makes the squad, and then uses the context menu while next to someone else to add them to the 'squad'. They get their own radio channel that works out to like, 500 metres or so (to simulate radios), and there is a hud marker/some other form of identification for the squad. 3. a method implimented during all DayZ installations that allows every user to punch the other person in the face if they're found to be using scripts.

It's actually you're not your, plus using two 'and's' in the same sentence is not proper grammar and I very much doubt that adults use the phrase 'nuff said' Panda, or Sgt.Hexstatic as we know him, was given Sgt status to our long standing community due to his involvement ie playing games as part of a team, using TS comms, getting involved with the forums etc, He chose to set up a Dayz server on his own with no involvement from us. Initially it was welcomed as we did not have the capability to create or admin a server of our own and a few of our community members used (and part funded) the server for a short while. Things have changed, we now host our own server which is fully admined by our own community members and has even been tweaked to improve the all-round gaming experience by bringing in more vehicles, care packages, better loot spawns and much more. It had been discussed that the two servers merge but this will not be possible due to reasons which I wont discuss on this forum. Anyway, to put the record straight we have not kicked him out of our community at all, his commitment lies with his own server and that is his prerogative, we wish him well with his endeavours and would welcome him back any time but, as we ask of all our community members they must be a committed community member (the clue is in the title).

OP is comedy gold. Now I want to see someone trying to get a horse to drink water out of a bottle, I'm all for adding horse banter. I've probably said so in a few of the millions of other topics about them. But after a little more thought, if they're ever added, they better not just be automaton "horse-bike" vehicles. A horse is a creature with a mind of its own, but every time I've seen these equine scooters in a game, they just blindly run off cliffs and do stupid, game-ish things. The only well done example I've seen is Red Dead Redemption. With authenticity being soup de jour, I'd expect Rocket to want to bring a lot to the table. I look forward to seeing if the guys can bring dogs to life properly first. Horses are a different kettle of fish. If you try to run your pony off a mountain, it should resist, while shouting whatever is horse for "Pffft. Don't fuckin' think so, buddy." And outwith their vehicluar responsibilities, general animal AI will have to be considered. (for other beasts too) Any half-assed horse addition would make for serious facepalm fuel. And any full attention to detail serious addition would take a lot of time and effort to implement. tl;dr - It's a major task and the DayZ team doesn't do things by half-measures. If horses are added, it won't be any time soon.

name:chris dayz name;purpletalon teamspeakname:purpletalon Age;16 im good at driving vehicles and operating semi automatic weapons i have played for about 4 days i am a decent player [email protected]

Helpful and active admins,went out of their way to make sure i had a good experience. NO shortage of loot, or vehicles. Not too crowded, but server is slowly picking up speed, more people joining everynight. Had a great time and will be making this my home. Go check it out!!!

What should I do I have found a rivals camp. they have been giving me and my friend some problems over the last week. what do you guys think i shoudl do with it. 1 At first i thought im just gana destroy this thing down. but our camp is near by and i dont want them snooping around. i suspect they have an idea we are close by. we are going to change our in out routes now we know where they are so we dont attract as much attention 2 second option is take a few items every so often when they are not on the server. so they think they are safe but we are sucking the life out of their efforts. This is my choice so far 3. F*ck with their heads. somthing like lay down barbwire around their camp then place tank traps on the inside and the outside of the wire so they carnt mow it down with outside vehicles or if they loged inside the wire they wont be able to mow the wire down with vehicles from the inside. 4 camp on them and generally kill them while they are around. I dont like this to much as im not a very good PVP please let me know of any other ideas.

I believe dayz.st is working on FTP access, but they do give you full DB access and ability to download and edit the mission file so that's pretty wide open. The ability to quickly change perm daylight timezone, private/public, maps, vehicles etc etc etc... I'm only 2 days in on DayZ.st and I'm already thinking about migrating my Gameservers.com one over... I might try another host first before I settle in but DayZ.st is GREAAAAT so far. LOVE IT.

Additional thoughts that came to mind during the day. Looking for a clan, a crew, a team is never a bad idea at all. Set aside some time to learn about one, or form one with friends. As a team you have a better chance of surviving then on your own! IF you feel like it, take the time to journal your adventures on a word document and share em with the rest of us! Its a great way to gain insight into the minds of fellow members. Be wary of the rocket launcher. It does not make a big kaboom and takes away your sack. Best to use it with a Heli or a car. Stop and think for a moment. What will result if you follow this course of action? Is it really worth risking limb and health to take out the man that shot you in a situation where you have everything to loose and nothing to gain. Drunk? Try and see how long you can survive while so. (Note, Z does not encourage you to drink to play this game nor should you ever feel the need to unless you just want to for fun! Please be responsible!) Setting up a base with friends in a remote location can be enjoyable and a great means to stay alive. Suggestions for this include having at night Vehicles, with head lights aimed to crisscross over the beams as a mean to illuminate a large area to make sure it is secure. Follow through with barbed wire, and tank barriers. Throw in a few tents, a fire, and patrols for bandits and other survivors as well as the undead. Be wary when using helis. They can easily loose control if not used properly. NVGs are a rare and few thing to find within the game. If you are able to find one, make sure to use it to its full advantage as you can move more undetected through an area. More to come tonight.

This topic is for those who are in search of active, mature-enough players to play dayz maps. I been adding a lot of random players and still looking for more active ones now. We make a group call in Skype, find a Vilayer server(only servers we play on), we find each other using vehicles/running/helicopters. After we get ready to hop to a more populated server to encounter more people who could be friendly or bandits. From there gentlemen whatever happens, happens. We do not joke around shooting each other, if you do so, you will be looked down upon, and if continued, will be killed and blocked from Skype. We encourage more players who are experienced, so finding each other won't be a hassle when dealing with new comers. Also if you have a really annoying kid voice, i'll will block you from the start. Requirements: 18+ must have Skype all maps downloaded or will be downloaded must live within 1-3 hour time zones from PST if you have any other questions feel free to send me a message on skype my skype username mdmiked

Come join the server. 67.228.177.161:3374 or you can type in Mud in your Day Z launcher of choice and the server will come up. Fun server with plenty of ground vehicles and a nice amount of air vehicles. Come here and make some friends...or some enemies.

Hello I had some ideas to implement a perk system that i wanted to share with you. What im trying to achieve with this system is some kind of bond with your player so that dying costs to you even though the perk bonuses arent powerful .After searching the suggestion forum and finding some similar suggestions i think i get what most people dont want to see so here goes. Im talking about an experience system where experience comes from everything you do and not kills. For example if you run a lot you will get better at running. This is the way real life works and there is no reason why we shouldnt want it in a realistic game like this. The bonuses of the perks must be noticable but not great. Also you must be able to reach max perk bonus in a period of 1 or 2 days so that again dying will be a noticable stepback but not a great one. The way i have it in my mind is like this. Some categories of talents which you can improve where the max rank is 40 and every 10 ranks you get a perk. For example if you have used a lot of bandages youll get better at treating yourself and as a result everytime you bandage someone you will get a percent of the blood you lost back. At rank 10 you will get Medic I and get 2.5% blood back, at rank 20 you will get Medic II and get 5% back and so on. Now experience can be earned not only by bandaging yourself but by bandaging others aswell, that way when in group you can assign someone medic so that he will level up faster by treating all of you.Simirarly others in group can be more experienced with repairing or cooking. Here are the categories ive come up so far : Category------------------Action----------------------Reward Cardio----------------running----------------faster running Stealth---------------crouching/prone----------faster crouching/proning Cooking-------------cooking----------------the food you prepare is better Weapons-----------shooting any kind of weapon------------better accuracy Melee----------------using melee weapons--------------increased damage Driver-----------------driving------------------better handling or maybe fuel efficiency Engineer-------------repairing--------------maybe higher top speed/durability? Medic-----------------bandaging/blood tranfusions/etc-------------restore some blood on bandaging I cant think of any more to add at the moment. But anyway i think you can see where im going with it. All the bonuses are minimal and although noticable are not unfair to new players. As to the period in which you can max a talent for example i think repairing 4 -5 vehicles is a good number to max the engineer talent.That way you can gain some bonuses even if you play for an hour. Of course cardio and stealth talents must be linked to distance covered so that we wont have any running up against a wall only to level it :P. Thats all. Tell me what you think :)

Hello! and welcome to DayZPrivateHive #1 Whitelist and Feedback Thread! IP: 207.45.189.131:2322 Sup survivors, bambies, and bandits! I have been running another server for a little now and I decided to make another main server for my community to enjoy and play on with unique things to it that I could not apply to the older server. I wanted to prevent hackers as much as possible as I am yet to see one on this server but I can't give players the GUARANTEE that a hacker will never be seen because of the anti-hacking tools are not so great ANYWHERE however I have installed Gotcha-Antihacks but it is not the best anti-hack in the world. Gotcha-Antihack will auto-ban people with hacked weapons and teleporting but it doesn't catch all the hackers. It is also connected to community bans list so that some hackers are out of the way. With the whitelist I can guarantee that there is less hackers than a server without whitelist but I cannot say you won't see any what so ever. If your looking for a fresh start on a great brand new server with less hackers and active administrators, then this is the server I suggest to you. The server is still a work in progress and I appreciate any feedback whether good or bad. My goal pretty much is to make a lag-free, balanced, and hacker free server but I want YOU the players to help me accomplish this goal. Arma 2: OA Beta Version: 100258 DayZ Version: 1.7.4.4 Server Settings: - Veteran - Waypoints: On - Crosshair: Off - Nameplates: Off - Side Chat: On - 3rd Person: On Server Features: - Private Hive - Bliss Server - 100+ Vehicles - 5+ Helicopters - Changed Helicopter Loot Tables (Took overpowered weapons like the AS50) - Added more buildings to multiple areas (more barracks ;D) - 24/7 Daylight (I'm deciding whether or not to keep this feature because some people like the night please give some feedback about it) - US Server with low pings. - 3 Hour restarts (keeps loot fresh and reduces lag.) Changed Helicopter Loot: - AS50, M107, and a few extras were removed and were replaced by many new weapons because they were overpowered. (You can still find the M107 at barracks it is just removed for heli crashes) - Assault Rifles: G36C,K,A, and SD HOLO (non-camo) and one G36a camo. (Any other camo varients of the G36 are hacked and you are bannable if you carry it) - Pistols: Makarov SD can spawn - Snipers: L115A3 LRR, M40A3, and SVD - LMGs: RPK and Some G36s spawn with drum rounds - Shotguns: Saiga 12K There are still many of the old helicopter loot but we just added in a couple weapons to expand the server arsenal. *Anti-Hacking/Cheating Features* - GUID Whitelisting (See Below) - Gotcha-Antihacks - Community Bans list - DayZ Anti-Hax (Disabled due to false autobans) *Rules* - No Cheating what so ever - No hacking (this is where "don't drop the soap" came from... I suggest you don't do it) - Do not use game exploits/glitches - No voice over side chat, please text only. - No rasicm - Do not pick up hacked weapons as you will be auto banned no matter where you got them - Do not pick up weapons from hacked medical boxes if you see them. - We will usually give a warning about these rules, but if you are obviously breaking the rules intentionally then you will be banned without hesitation. *Whitelist Instructions* For some reason whitelisting is currently not working you may just enter the server without signing up but you should still sign up to get added when it is working once more. To get whitelisted you may use our site (currently work in progress so the site is not perfect) or simply follow our instructions below: Reply to the Thread with your: 1. Player name: (mine would be Clanky) 2. What is your country? (Mine would be America) 3. GUID How to get your GUID: Log in to any Arma 2 server that has Battle Eye enabled and use / to type "#beclient GUID" into the chat box and you should be presented your GUID copy it fast! If it disappears just do that above step again. I will simply "give you my beans" to show that I have accepted you to the whitelist so I don't have to reply "accepted" all the time.

So, I play on an awesome server (US 1011) and me and my crew were flying a huey along the coast, when we ran into another chopper that started engaging us. Once this happened, people started talking about it in side chat. I guess this attracted the attention of ALOT of other people, because soon another chopper showed up. Then another. and another. Finally, a 6th chopper showed up. I couldn't believe my eyes, a 6 way dog fight over Cherno, and the amount of gun shots, and rotor blades.... it was crazy man. It was a true test of my piloting skills to be able to line my gunners up, keep from getting shot, avoid buildings, and not slam into another chopper. I was freaking out, and so was my crew, and the people down below in cherno weren't even fighting each other, or trying to shoot us. It seemed like the entire server had its eyes on the skies of Chernogorsk. My gunners took down 2 choppers, I out maneuvered one, causing him to slam into a building, and then the other chopper was taken out at some point, and finally the last chopper ended up shooting us down. I barely survived, and crawled my way to a hospital to wait for my friends. I just... I was speechless. I hope somebody recorded that shit. Also, before anyone makes any comments about how it sounds easy to get choppers, its not. They have high vehicles spawns and shit, but usually someone has a huey, and its difficult to hang on to them, because a dog fight can break out at any moment. You have to stay sharp no matter what.

The server is great! You can base build, harvest parts off cars, and even siphon fuel out of cars! There are 300+ vehicles spread across the map! The players are friendly until you come near their base ;) But, the server is fun so give it a try! Only problem is they cant update to 0.72. They are having issues but are constantly trying! 24.4.186.247:2302 OR try searching us023

HELLO!!!!. We are Do or Die Gamers. We have just set up a new server using DayZ.ST which has allowed us to mod the server to make your experience AWESOME!!! we have the ability to use the editor to bring our own custom buildings into the map. What does this mean for you? It means that along with our huge admin base we have set up a bunch of smaller ones that you will be able to safely store your gear and vehicles in without the worrie of someone finding it. In fact it doesn't matter if someone does know where it is because they cant accesses it! Each base we will be setting up will have usable gates which will open and close only form the inside to make sure that you have no unwanted visitors. Eventually we will be adding even more buildings on the map like barracks to make military loot plentiful because im sure a majority of you guys out there enjoy a little pvp=P so why not stop by and give us a try. We have Very active and mostly friendly admins who love to help out, and we are looking to get some new members in our clan. IP: 67.228.177.161:3340

1. More melee weapons. 2. Slower zombies that are slightly harder to kill and don't sprint in zig-zags. 3. Customizable weapons and attachments. Zig-zag sprinting zombies are so annoying amd the two melee weapons in the game suck. Customizable weapons and attachments would just be awesome. (Edit) If I could have a fourth choice, it would be for there to be more vehicles in the game. I mean, come on, not all of the vehicles would have been blown up or burned. As far as I know, it wasn't a nuclear blast that started the zombie apocalypse, so why would most of the vehicles be burnt out husks?

Agreed adding loot tables to these emergency vehicles would be amazing aswell you wouldn't be pinned by needing to run to the hospital if you found a broken down ambulance out on the road somewhere.
