If you want to sell the idea of this game to anybody you'd want by your side (and not some triggerhappy BF3 airhead) you would have to manipulate him a bit and put weight on the survival part. When indicating DayZ is not "kill or be killed shooter no. 14100 to be released this year", the poor fellow think friendly survivors and bad zombies - and you let him ;) After 14 days of playing, he or she is: 1. Still with you or 2. Once again installed in front of Minecraft or Civilization V.. This game is nothing but BF3 in slowmotion for people 40+, disguised by an apocalyptic story only made to reduce weapons and vehicles. But to survive, you have to get better at looting and shooting other people, not being able to settle or build a camp, always on the run. And I hate myself for investing precious time to just hunt skills and get better at shooting out of pure need. We all just want a good time with our friends and not spend a billion lightyears hunting the far too sparse gear. Because life is short, tomorrow is work again. All you really want is a ride in that boat with your friends on TS and loot that island, or whatever. I do'nt care shit about that kid who wants to shoot me, it's like he needs our attention and say "hey I am here too and you better notice me, or you are dead!" Annoying like hell... If DayZ does not provide these few spare hours of quality time and let hackers and losers take your gear again and again, I guess it is time to move on for the sake of humanity, the economic world crisis, and our family lives. ...So that is just what Old Grumpy here did. And if I may say, it sure feels nice not following the sheep herd anymore, waiting for the next big advertised thing (SA) :) Like Major Lazer says, get free :)

Camouflage face paint is used by troops in the Armed Forces to camouflage the skin. Exposed skin reflects light and may draw the opposing forces' attention. i was thinking this would work great as a tool item slot and with your hunting knife and matches ect. you could right click this and apply to face , where by the face would change to have camo on it ? Military camouflage refers to any method used to render military forces less detectable to enemy forces. In practice, it is the application of colour and materials to military equipment of all kinds, including vehicles, ships, aircraft, gun positions and battledres, to conceal it from visual observation, or to make it appear as something else i thought this would be great for cars. it would work alonge the lines of refueling the car. You would have the net on you the scoll over the car and then the option would say camouflage vehicle. just some ideas cheers AP

Rocket seems like an open guy willing to answer questions, but I don't know where to even ask. So, I figured that I'd just make a thread. I don't expect an answer, but I'd like to throw my question out there for the possibility that someone at Bohemia Interactive might read it. Hacking is an enormous concern for me. Not ArmA 2 Script injecting. I've heard no information about the development team's plans to prevent unauthorized memory access. I'm particularly worried because the team seems content with a server side implementation coupled with Valve's VAC... but neither will prevent or detect custom external programs that read the game's memory. If hackers are still able to detect everything the client program has in memory, then they'll be able to detect all players/vehicles/objects within render distance in real time. Does the development team recognize this as a serious and potentially crippling issue?

I would strongly suggest to anyone to NOT play on this server... The server is 100% cheater free but its loaded with admins which abuse their powers! Me and my friend found the base of some admins or something and as soon he noticed us we got banned. Even our other teammate got banned although he wasn't even anywhere near their base. Don't even try start playing... all decent vehicles and all helicopters are already taken and hidden by them. Sry about my bad English.. I'm just a bit upset to see such a childish behavior from 25-45 year olds (Probably not even true).

I'm not impressed with what I've seen from all the updates. Screenshots look no better than the mod. I don't understand the "wow" factor people write about it, when it's pretty much the same thing. Maybe I've some untrained eye but the "Day Z vs Standalone" Comparison screenshot looks like the brightness was turned down some, and the Standalone has an additional structure/road it looked like. Wow! Seriously people... Some of my cons. - No real character progression other than gear... which is the only way we "progress" in the mod. - A disease system that I cannot see adding to the gameplay in anyway shape or form. Yeah great, I just took some boots off a dead guy and now I have some deadly virus. That's going to be as lame as breaking a leg walking through a doorway. - Release date, to which everyone thought was nearly concrete of Dec 2012. Now a "we don't know." So, before we were under the impression we would be getting a work in progress game. Now should we assume we are going to be getting a basic polished/ready to go version? Some of my pros. + Customizable weapons, clothing, and persons. This is kind of "standard" in any game, honestly. People want to personalize and make things their own. Finding that new baseball cap and getting a tattoo is not really progression however. (See con above) + Mad Max styled vehicles. This is another as to be expected in this type of game, just happy it'll be added (maybe). Though who knows if we will ever get it. + MMO Server Architiect I sincerely hope that along with this we will be getting official Day Z-only servers. Characters are dedicated to those servers/worlds like in typical MMOs and no community servers. I really doubt this will happen though and it'll be another... same as we have deal except how the "Data" is handled. My actual post before everyone got in an uproar over "release date" and insisting that everyone is whining and complaining that the game isn't here yet. Clearly it is nearly impossible to say anything with any type of criticism over the game or the development team without the fanboi forum team trying to stomp over your every word.

There is approx 200 vehicles spawned.. trying to increase it becasue sometimes they spawn out of bounds and they arent actually on the map.. there is a ton of atvs around the main cities so that new spawns have something to start with. Normal weapon spawns in the normal spots. There is 4 helicopters that spawn on the map, we have foudn the big russian one, and the little bird as well as the huey.. they should have respawned by now becasue they were crashed thanks to inexperienced pilots like me :)

Check out my other thread. I have a server some bandits might like. http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/119862-dayz-taviana-server-custom-weapons-and-vehicles-special-loot-spots/

Can I ask approximately how many vehicles (cars, helicopters, boats) there are on the server? Plus weapon spawns/loot spots?

I have started a server that is setup for factional warfare. 5K view distance only sniper is cz50, AA12 with slugs and pellets spawns as does the g36c. The server requires Rmod and is Taviana. We have DayZ Base Building 1.1 thanks to Diamyo21, loot and zed spawn while in vehicles credit to mrmattmc on tunngle, the military bases are upgraded with enterable buildings and, we have more zombies...... a LOT more zombies that hear your gun shots from a realistic distance. The map is constantly being added to and anyone who wants to help is welcome to. If you are interested in checking us out just filter for 5K either in game or in dayz commander, there is no whitelist but you must have Rmod installed and launch with the -mod=@rmod paramater.

Updates to the mod, aren't something that I'm really concerned with since they don't really improve anything at all. I think 1.7.4 added the combat indicator? Great improvement, my biggest concern with Day Z was people combat logging; not. Oh, and they removed a couple weapons and added some vehicles. Yet I still break random legs going over terrain or passing by a buddy through a hallway. Though I just pointed out that while the game was in development the mod was also supposed to be improved upon which it hasn't. If anything it gets worse and worse over time. I've played off and on since May. No one is whining, either. That would be the FPV folk.

the enterable aspect would not bother me as long as there were sewers to enter. there would be plenty of streets and bridges where stuff can spawn. (And vehicles as stated in another inverview) tba, as long as vhe city was bigger than "t'other" game, I would be happy with a small city twice the size of Cherno.

HFB Servers have a cheap fees I like their Game Cpanel very midly noob friendly I still have a server host with them not going to continue my subscription though I will gladly move back to DayZ.ST in a heart beat when I get my paycheck. They have this very awesome admin map thing for private servers that lets you place and add spawn points of vehicles, add items to people's loadouts not instance loadouts, and most important you can see where all the people are located in the map. What I want is a better alternative to DayZ.ST.

Hmmm, brain working, add ability to build bases, safe ammount of vehicles and you have a great safe place to work. You could open it up now and again for a battle or 3.

There's not many ideas that I have, but here they are. BUS: Having custom messages play on the screens that tell you where the bus is going. For example, "SURVIVORS" could be written, and the bus would play that on the route screens. OTHER VEHICLES: Cages on the windows. The newest update to DayZ made it so zombies can break your windows and damage your car. Upgrading your vehicle to have wire mesh, or cages behind the windows might help... SHOOTING FROM VEHICLES: Once in a blue moon you get the opportunity to have a car chase with a rival player. It's fun, but it's really just a bumper car match to destroy the opponents vehicle. However, smashing out your windows, whipping out an AK-74 and raining hell upon your opponent would be a lot cooler. Same goes with helicopters such as the littlebird, what if your passengers could shoot from the sides?

[Team FEAR UK] New Server!! Hello everyone, im posting on here to advertise my server, [Team FEAR UK] for a couple reasons. Firstly because now we have a solid base of regular players, (about 7-15) we were looking to fill the server up with more players who would be interested in setting up a rival group on our server, to add in some larger PVP battles and add a bit more tension when going off looting as a group. Or maybe just if you are looking for a server were banditry isn’t rife, as we are a friendly bunch, and we have a few guys pretty much dedicated to helping fellow survivors in need J Also if you are looking for a safer server to base build, we are for you! We currently have a few bases, one of which is massive due to the fact most of us use it. Server is suitable for beginners and veterans, as we have a mix of all kind of players. But you must be a community player, and enjoy interacting with other players, even if it is just to hunt each other down ;) Custom load outs, obviously there are extra vehicles, I add and change gear and vehicles all the time so there is never any shortage of stuff for everyone ;) and if you are a regular on the white list, you get personal load outs when you spawn [upon request] we have 3 active admins, and at least one of us is on the server 90% of the time. We do our best around the rest of our lives :P and we have as much anti hack stuff we can get to work with the server. However if we do get hacked, bases and gear can be replaced at the drop of a hat, most likely using a roll back. It is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that you add me on steam as We do also have a white-list so we sometimes lock the server. This could be for a couple reasons. 1) Due to a hack and we need to fix camps/bases/gear/vehicles and it requires a few server restarts. [This is unlikely now however due to an extra admin joining us and some new software] 2) private events/battle royals etc. 3) base building with regulars Im the main admin [moose] and if you would like to know more message me on steam account or PlaywithSix account >> FEARtheMooseUK << J you can also PM my account on here. So in short, anyone is welcome to come have a peek, and bring your friends!! The more the merrier! :D Here are the server details. Hit us up!!! xD Server name: [Team FEAR UK] IP: 37.130.229.180:3051 Location: UK Difficulty: Veteran Map: Chernarus Slots: 50 Time zone: GMT -6 3DP: yes CH: yes NP: no DM: yes SC: yes PW: no [but it is advisable to get on the white-list so you can get a password if needed, as It will be put on for regulars sometimes for private battles, or base building.] WL: yes Contact: steam account account: FEARtheMooseUK OR PM my forum account.

Hey all, We have a private hive server which we have just recently started up. We are a friendly group of lads who are looking more people to come too are server and play with us. Everyone is welcome from new people who play Dayz, to people who are bandits. We have active admins on. We have a custom load out which most private hives offer with arrange of vehicles. So please come along and have a go on are server. We currently don't have a teamspeak but we are working on that. Server IP: 146.185.31.106:3034 Thanks FatmanSh00t :)

I think that vehicles in Dayz should be more gta-esque, before you rage at me, just hear me out. A vehicle should spawn with a key in it, which can later be removed. This would mean that the player who originally found the car would be able to add it to their toolbelt or something similar. Anyone who stumbledupon a car without a key would have to hotwire it, making it take longer to get going. Also I hope the implement some sort of leaning out windows and shooting in the future.

Look at the dayz db map and find an area that isnt close to any loot at all or on a popular route. DO NOT hide up north at the ne or down the east of the map. somewhere in the middle so people won't purposefully go looking for vehicles experienced players know exactly where to look for bambis that have found there first hilux :)

Please link that and email BattlEye about it: [email protected] some battleye rules when emailing them: ! IMPORTANT WARNING REGARDING GLOBAL BANS ! If you are globally banned, please include your exact (!) global ban ID in your support request. The ID is shown in your global ban message ("Global Ban #ID"). Without it we won't be able to process your request. Otherwise your individual case will be carefully investigated. Please also note the following before sending in your request: No one is banned for using non-hack programs (like Fraps, overlays, etc.), picking up or using hacked in-game items, weapons or vehicles, being on a server at the same time as a cheater, or other passive non-cheating activity. It doesn't matter if you only cheated on your own private server. Cheating on BE-enabled servers is forbidden, period. A shared or stolen cd-key is no excuse. It's your own responsibility to ensure that no one else has access to it. No details about your ban (including evidence) will be revealed. Hackers would love to have access to this information. If you cheated you will have to live with the consequences. Global bans are permanent and no exceptions will be made. Questions regarding how exactly to get unbanned will not be answered. No support will be given on how to buy a new game or change your cd-key.

As far as I know a tool like this is only available with private hive providers. I wish there was a tool like that for public server so we could ban hackers alot quicker ... Through the logs we can find players/vehicles/see peoples loadout, but we cant spawn in stuff or teleport people or kill them or whatever... Don't know why people think that tbh...

Try the FogeyZ private hive... US east coast based with custom Chernarus map including loads of extra buildings and custom bases/camps. Over 100 vehicles, active admins, rollbacks when hackers get out of control and fun to play. Just search for FogeyZ... there is only one!

US late night players needed to join in the fun on the FogeyZ server. Find a base, commandeer it and protect it as your own from bandits and FogeyZ alike. Lots of new buildings and vehicles and bases and even camps in the woods with military barracks for quick looting (once you find them!). Bring it on peeps... let's play.

Shooting out of a vehicle window or from the back of open vehicles such as pick-up trucks or Urals should be allowed, but with a huge accuracy penalty due to vehicles bouncing all over the place at speed. This is why military vehicles have belt-fed weapons fitted.

The goal: Make fuel much more scarce and difficult to obtain while reducing fuel consumption of vehicles to realistic levels. The thought behind these ideas is, that the limiting factor for driving vehicles should not be finding a vehicle but repairing it with parts and then getting enough fuel to run it. The fuel gathering process should be much more difficult - for a solo player extremely difficult (and dangerous) Edit: This should be combined with my other suggestion regarding spare parts and vehicle spawn: http://dayzmod.com/f...nism-workshops/ The changes for jerrycans and fuel stations: - Jerrycan is changed to weapon slot (10 slots in backpack) To use a Jerrycan it has to be equiped of course. - Jerrycans only spawn in EMPTY condition (or at reduced rate also full) and are more difficult to find. - Filling a Jerrycan is done with two options: * Manual with a hand cranked fuel pump: will Fill 1 liter per 10 seconds. * Automatic with a powered fuel station (see below): full 20 liters in 10 seconds. - Possibility to power fuel stations with a portable generator as discussed in many other threads: Powered station can fill Jerrycans faster and has the possibility to refill Vehicle without use of Jerrycans. - Fuel Stations have the possibility to be out of fuel until the next server restart. This should be a chance of 1 in 2 initially. - Fuel Stations can run out of Fuel - Refueling the vehicles seems fine at the moment but if possible: only use Fuel till car is full (rest remains in Jerrycan) Added out of the feedback for clarification: - Jerrycans have a partionned state just like "ammo" (so partly filled jerrycans are possible for example 15 liters - a 3/4 full jerrycan) The Changes for vehicles: - Consumption of fuel reduced to realistic levels. (Best example is the ATV which uses around 2 or 3 liters per single kilometer even on a road...) - Fuel Tank size for vehicles reduced to realistic size.

of course having different server options is always a way to satisfy all kind of preferences....first person...third person..crosshair..no crosshair..gore or no gore...unlimited vehicles..etc etc..where do you draw the line ?
