Hi all, I am new to the DayZ in general, but I fell in love with the game so I decided I would try start my own community/clan! I just put up a website, ts and server. Due to the overwhelming number of hackers trying to ruin the game experience for the rest of us, I've chosen to make my server a private hive so that if hackers show up and spawn vehicles or ruin what we have going I can "back-up" the server so no-one loses anything. If you'd like to check out the website it can be found here http://www.outbreakgaming.enjin.com/ Teamspeak info: dallas-ts.nfoservers.com [pw: beanwars2012] Server IP: 50.23.131.224 Port: 3272 Current Name: Private Hive - Outbreak Gaming - Max Vehicles/Active Admins Keep in mind that the website is new and so is the server so it may not look professional as I am still trying to put things together. Come say hello if you're interested in joining! EDIT** Wanted to mention I'm not just one guy with a new server, I have a few friends who play as well so we're a small group of about 6-10 and we hope to increase our ranks!

So I've seen quite a bit of tip threads for new players with the normal advice; - Always carry morphine - Never crawl down/up stairs - Stay out of open fields ETC... What are your personal PRO TIPS? Things an experienced player really should know. Considering that these tips don't even have to be game mechanics, but can also be tactical suggestions. I have been on and off DAYZ for a while and here are a few things I always try to do. 1. Never leave backpacks in your tent unless you want someone finding your camp to have an easier way of emptying it. 2. Never leave vehicles beside tents. Find a place 200m away to hide tents unless you like leaving all your eggs in one basket. 3. Hiding your car in a tree or near a house/wall is risky. As of this patch I've still seen cars slide into objects and despawn. 1/3 of my tractor was in a wall and my 2nd car gone. 4. Never log out with valuables in a tent, make room for that 2nd NVG in your bags before you head off to bed. 5. Shooting one or two tires from your car so I can't steal it only makes me want to blow up your car if i can't repair it. 6. Always PM charb your base location and server info so I can verify how safe it is !!! What do you guys have to add?

Server Update December 27th 2012 - Heli Lift Script - Helis can now transport select vehicles around map. - More custom base buildings - 15 Barracks total on map (at airbases) - Medical Vehicles (fully equipped)

I see it on animals, z's, players and vehicles

I know this Arma engine cant even think of this without exploding but how great would it be if the driving was like that in Spin Tires. For those of you who don't know, Spin Tires is and offroad simulation being made into a game that is currently a free tech demo, When driving on dirt roads and things like grass your vehicle can get bogged down and stuck. How great would this be in DayZ as it would mean vehicles would want to stick to roads more and risk being attacked or go offroading and risk getting stuck. Maybe they could implent outside technology like they are doing with Take on Helicopters

Hello mate, i absolutely agree with you on the avatar appearance, my suggestion is to be able to customize your own character with different types and spawning with simple alfits with nothing special but for the looks mainly. About the madmax vehicles i'm just going to mention this is not a gurilla warfare and its not about money its not the pre-apocalyptic times its the actual Apocalyptic times when money and resources are raiding loot and not actual todays currency and more than that my opinion is it may not be practical but when it comes to zombies VS cars it may be really necessary to arm your car as close as possible to a battle tank the Apocalyptic times people may not be rich on resources or anything but they sure won't mind spending metal if they find (Most probably in factorys or other wrecked vehicles) About the preformance problem you could add a feature of speed tune ups and also that the more metal the slower it goes and with the tune ups you get it faster not too fast it would still be kind of slow but what you mention is really important and will help the balancing of the ''over powering'' of vehicles and especially the so called ''mad maxs'' who are supposed to be completely over powered now, its only a couple of suggestions i've got, hope i could help, Thanks for the comment mate, ;) Morris.M

I found it the same too, there are loads of good guides on how to play but my best advice is stop playing Dayz and play ARMAII for a few hours to start with and learn the skills or the core game like shooting, using maps, driving vehicles etc, if you don't and you get into Dayz the first time you find a gun you won't know how to use it correctly and the first time you shoot it you will either get killed by Zombies or another player will track you down and blow your head off, ARMA is quite a hard game to start with, the Dayz mod just makes it even harder. When you return to Dayz sort out a way to view an online map while you play, something like an android tablet or Ipad or dual screens is good. I personally find cowaring and crawling around a waste of time, I just get in there and run like hell, run around the loot spots and see whats there, loose or kill the z's and come back for it, this way you can cover a lot of ground quickly. A bike may be your best friend!

I don't know if you guys are in Europe, or whether you're looking for a private server, but I can recommend Wireworld EU for individual players who are looking for informal groups to play with/against. You join the servers teamspeak, join a channel, gain people's trust, and then start playing with them regularly once they know you. The groups change depending who's online and who you become most friendly with. The number of players ranges from 5 to 25 (although recently there's only been about 15 due to Xmas), so there a quiet periods in which you can gear-up, repair vehicles and steal from camps, and times when there is enough players for some PvP. The server hasn't had hackers on it for months, and the admin is responsible, friendly and proactive. Wireworld runs the very latest community beta patch. Follow the instructions in the above link - basically join the lobby and get kicked (this is so your player name and id is logged in the database), then email the address in the 'kick message' with your GUID, and finally download the latest beta (3 PBO files) from the link you're given. The details of the TS server are in the lobby message if you get stuck.

Better off buying the mod now, seeing as news is null for the SA release if you've got a craving, and time off - get it. Very enjoyable game. General break down of server types below. Public Hive (Public hive, hosted by DayZ MOD) you can join these hives and have your current gear from the last server, to the next. Tents, cars, and rotorcraft don't follow you to the other servers. Public hives are hacker swamped and often you'll get teleported and killed or something... rude along those lines. Private Hive (Privately hosted servers) with active admins are a safer route - check around the forums for servers looking for players. Leaving from one private to another that is not linked, your gear WILL NOT follow you. Private Community Hive (Privately hosted servers, that are linked together) like the public hive if they have several linked together you can go from one to the other and retain your gear on your characters. Again, tents, cars, and rotorcraft will stay on the server you found them on. The term WHITELISTED means in general a list that you must get pre-approved to join and play on that server, its to protect the server from unknown players and hackers (script kiddies) Trust is a bit higher on a whitelisted private hive, but trust no one... going alone is your safest bet. Tips Eating meat / canned food will restore health meat - 800, can of beans - 200 if I remember correctly. 12,000 is your total blood (health). Bloodbags are used on OTHERS to restore entire blood. Risky to ask for a bloodbag from a player you do not know. You can collect wood in the forest with your axe, by right clicking it while its in your inventory - you'll see collect wood. You can place that wood pile down with matches, and light the fire once its placed. You can cook meat, from hunting animals over the fire - which returns more blood then a can food item. Don't roll off buildings, be careful around ladders and even the smallest falls. Stay away from rocks you can get stuck. Don't crawl under vehicles.

Sorry about the restarts guys. Vehicles are now spawning on the map with the new spawn points, Enjoy! There are alot of spawn points with low chance of vehicles spawning, this is intended to encourage players to explore more of the map in search for vehicles. Military grade vehicles will not been found easily, many are in remote locations so get hunting guys :)

We have: wreks & carepackage whis custom loot table a random number of heli crash sites (5-10) custom buildings on islands our team always ready for fight 85.25.108.155:2312 slots: 50 Welcome.

FYI, people: stop using this dumb "and then hackers will" arguement. They can just spawn a bunch of weapons - remove them from the game too? Great idea. Anything that makes you think twice before killing something is good and skills can work perfectly in this case. If you just read a book, you wont master something the second you've read it, but you can perfor the action while using the book as a manual. I won't become a gunsmith the second I've read a book, but I sure will be able to disassemble and clean M4 while using the book as a referrence and manual. So reading a book can help you aquire some basic skills. And of course you should be able to have a limited amount of skills. A lone wolf doesn't need to know how to drive all the vehicles, craft everything, cook everything and be a pro surgeon at the same time. Being limited in skills is a price you pay for depending only on yourself.

As the Special Response we are gathering the best skilled players around, we will use your great abilities to our fullest extent. SRT DOES NOT ENDORSE BANDITRY.BANDITS ARE KOS, bandits are our only KOS group, unless someone else crosses a line, then they will be added.

If you are not sure of whether or not to engage, ask your squads field commander, DO NOT fire if you have doubt. (Recon rules for bandits). If you come across someone who has a bandit skin or someone who you know has been shooting at unarmed players, alert your team of the bandits location and confirm that it is a bandit after your field commander gives you the green light, you take them down. (Right now the server is working on getting a certain skin for the bandit clan so we will be able to tell better) (Non-recon rules for bandits) Alert your team of the bandit, tell them your opening fire, and take the shot. If you are to find a player who is in your path and has a gun, DO NOT KILL THEM,(Unless their a bandit) you will not kill them, try your best to knock them out. If you have a high powered rifle and can not knock them out, contact a field commander through team speak who will decide what is best at the time. When we go out on a mission we go out in a group, get close to the waypoint and then split up, we don't need to get our asses kicked because we were all lined up like a free head-shot store. If there is someone that is allied with us requesting help, we will meet up if we are not already moving together and access the situation as needed. ​Server Rules No cheating, hacking, duping or exploiting. Anyone using a tool or game glitch to gain an advantage over others will be banned. It is mandatory to report all glitches.

Hi, I tried searching for a similar idea and couldn't find a thread so i made one. my idea is basic, every time you log on you can open your personal stats window which shows you each individual character you played accompanying various stats such as survival time, zombies killed, survivors murdered, bandits killed, blood donated, wounds mended, distance traveled, vehicles repaired, personal diary, photos taken(could be local screen caps or in game camera used) etc... and similarly an overall stats section: average survival time, kills etc... and totals: total time played, etc... The major point is that you can skim through past experiences or share them with your friends allowing them to look at specific individual characters and overall history if the option is allowed and perhaps upload and attach videos as well to one of your previous characters played.

Namalsk, Panthera, and of course Lingor (my personal favorite). Taviana is great, if you find a server with a lot of vehicles, otherwise you'll spend 99% of the time walking, and you had better hope you don't pick the wrong direction, otherwise you'll just starve to death. Celle is also pretty cool, but suffers from the same issue of don't go the wrong way.

Problem is the LOD at distances...i can run though the forest just fine and nobody can see me provided he is also in the forest and quite close. If however the person is at least 100m outside he can see a brown surface with some idiot running between the trees pretending to be invisible...same with the vehicles, even a green brownish vehicle or a camo tent that is supposed to conceal something sticks out like a sore thumb...and of course thanks to most servers running on noob mode you can see those funny dots on the edge of your screen which totally NOT give away things you wouldn't have seen at all... These dots only disappear on expert servers btw...at least with one of the settings in expert mode which you will never find in the other setup unless you copy paste it yourself.

You would have to do it on a small scale..with most of the servers resetting 3-4 times a day. And i doubt a lot of vehicles on the side of the road could have fuel otherwise why would they be left there?

I'm no expert but I was on Namalsk last night and two guys teleported to me and dumped winter clothes and a ton of other impossible to find stuff at my feet then disappeared again so... I'd say there are def. public hacks out there. The day before that I found 40 or so tents next to a Ammo Crate on the west side of my map... and I have to Legit find things since I run a vanilla DayZ public server, I don't even have any clue what else is on there and where it is. My big problem is there is NO good how to anywhere that I can see. I have next to no idea what I'm doing because there are no places that explain it except hacking sites which I don't want to go on or use since when I DID get frustrated enough to investigate that end of it I lost 2 keys in a row in less than a week. Yet I get the same average number of cheaters on my server every week, week in week out, I would absolutely love for you to PM me any resources or advice to help me as a mod, I'm getting ready to dump my public DayZ server because I think a Hive will offer me more control. The last 2 days of play have actually been inspiring for me though, as far as I can tell no one has teleported any vehicles the helo's that got fixed look like it was done legit... I REALLY want to keep my server up because I love the core game SOOOO much... but the powerlessness of being a legit player in it makes you want to give up all together. If you could PM me with info I'd really appreciate it.

I for one, was fed up of the offical servers I go on being hacked and the server I had my camp on being down whenever I really wanted to go and play with my friends. So what to do.... try some private servers or different hives. What happens? Over 80% of them have 100+ vehicles, 10+ helicopters, always daylight, loot spawn changes and all the other things people can do on private servers to take out the fun of the game for me which is simple - Survive and fight for the right to be alive over that other person. Have the feeling of finding that vehicle, doing the hard work of reparing it and thinking there is only another 2 on the server like this. So what next? Simple - Make my own server. If you feel the same way about how I feel about all these servers with extras, I ask you to come and take a look at UK YorkshireZombies with the following on offer: Linked to the Dayz.st hive and not a full private server. This means your inventory and gear stays with you if you join another server linked to the Dayz.st hives. NO always daylight setting, meaning you will have to survive in the night and day. Only 35 vehicles, not 100+, if your lucky enough to get a vehicle running treat it well and with respect. Automatic server restarts every 6 hours, means plenty of loot but not too much such as the 3 hour restart servers have. Veteran difficulty no seeing the names on top of peoples heads. Make sure to communicate with your team members and ensure you know where each other are. No changes to loot locations or the starting kit. Everything is default. Stats are tracked through gametracker so that you can see how many zombies you've killed to the others. Always up 24/7. No downtime! UK based server with a timezone of GMT-9. This will not change and will always stay this way. If you think this sounds like a server for you feel free to join this vanilla type server and enjoy the game how it should be. IP ADDRESS: 37.130.229.228:3170

Hi, zombie, I just do a little advertising for our private server in hive, 50 slots, hosted by Dayz.st. The server is open to all, on the map chrenarus. It contains a max of vehicles, new building lay everywhere on the map (grocery, military barracks ..) Adding custom base for the first arrival. Admin friendly and very present, so can restart regularly. Ip : 5.63.147.44 Port : 3153

Maybe you could adjust the Server difficulty? I can detect vehicles and players with the map because theyre shown there and with the white dots at the edge of the screen. Pretty crappy for building a camp. Except of that, its a great server till now.

Retweaked the heli crash loot chances for high end weapons. Tweaked the number of vehicles that spawn once the vehicle from the default spawn has been moved.

MGT Hi guys, we run a group of DayZ Epoch servers with a few extra mods which are well balanced. We have a large team of active admins and we're always available for a chat on our TeamSpeak ts3server://188.165.250.119/?port=9987 We run on a dedicated server with an Intel Xeon 8 core, 32gb ram and fast storage and a 1gb low latency connection with enterprise class anti ddos protection. We have automatic database backups every 15 minutes. Very important We do not have and never will have paid for reserved slots We do not have and never will have paid for custom loadouts as we do not believe in "pay to win" All players on all of our DayZ Epoch maps spawn with only the basic DayZ gear, there are no guns, maps or other starting items. Players donating towards the running cost of our dedicated server have the option of recieving an ingame humanity boost only, this is entirely optional. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lift and Tow using V3S/Ural/MTVR type vehicles to tow (Not Namalsk)Base maintenance from day 10 to 14Safes and lockboxes must be opened and used every 10 days or they will have codes reset (cursor over to show status if unlocked) or by day 14 they're removedAbandoned vehicles with missing or broken parts are removed every 3 daysSelf BloodbagTake clothes from dead bodiesAuto Refuel, Repair and RearmBrute Force Combo Lock preventionBase glitching protection from dragging and vehicle disconnectingIndestructible Base Building on Cinder Parts and Metal Floors, Wood is destructable but very strongIncreased Loot Spawn Rates + 200%Custom WeatherSpawn bike from toolbox and scrap metal25 km/h speed limit, God Mode and Anti Backpack theft and zombie free trader cities (Add friend to use each others backpacks)Extra items at traders such as the large gun bag and exotic weaponry4 types of side mission with guns/ammo/building supplies and moreCombat logging punishment - Blood removed, knocked out and bleeding and server announcement of their nameExtra towns, barracks, airfields and military basesIndestructible Cinder and Metal base building (wood base parts are destructable)Always running the latest build of DayZ EpochSpawn selection, Sector B AI and locked MTVR's with base supplies in (need hotwire kit) on DayZ Epoch OriginsRegular admin events on all servers, for more information, follow our RSS feed http://www.mgtrolls....045570/rss/true-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Our popular DayZ Epoch servers are as follows Note, DZC - DayZ Commander DayZ Epoch Chernarus To join our DayZ Epoch Chernarus server you only need DayZ Epoch 1.0.5 then add the server as a favourite on DayZ Commander 188.165.250.119:2302 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DayZ Epoch Panthera To join our DayZ Epoch Panthera server you only need DayZ Epoch Panthera 1.0.5 then add the server as a favourite on DayZ Commander 188.165.250.119:3302 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The below servers will require you to add additional launch parameters in DayZ Commander DayZ Epoch Origins To join our DayZ Epoch Origins server you need DayZ Epoch 1.0.5 and DayZ Origins 1.7.8.5 from DayZ Commander, then in settings/additional launch parameters paste -mod=@DayZOrigins;@DayZ_Epoch then add the server as a favourite on DayZ Commander 188.165.250.119:4302 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DayZ OverPoch Namalsk To join our DayZ Epoch Namalsk server you need DayZ Epoch 1.0.5 , DayZ Overwatch 0.25 and DayZ Namalsk 0.75 from DayZ Commander, then in settings/additional launch parameters paste -mod=@DayzOverwatch;@DayZ_Namalsk then add the server as a favourite on DayZ Commander 188.165.250.119:5302
