Yeah, for me "end game" that is, the point in which basic survival means have been met (i assume?) involves finding more tents for more gear, vehicles of any description, and heli's ofc. But if you really need an absolute end point, a point where you would normally get an achievement and such. then.. Mountain Dew

This is one reason why I play on a private hive (Wireworld EU) - it doesn't make much sense to maintain tents or vehicles when they're spread across several public hive servers. I'd rather pick one great server, free of hackers and stupidity, and stick to it. Whilst I mostly play alone, I'm always on the Wireworld Teamspeak talking to the other guys. Whenever I want I can join them for a mission, whether it be a rescue/medical emergency, repairing a vehicle, a chopper run looking for heli-crashes, hunting other players, messing about in the bi-plane (v175), etc. Or I can tell them that tonight I'm playing against them and make my own channel. There's only so much of a 'survival' aspect to the game for a lone player (although the zombies in the latest 175 beta are insane at the moment!). I'd encourage you to find a server with a Teamspeak and get to know some of the other players. For moments when you want to play solo, you can always mute it. You're welcome to try Wireworld! I'll help you get geared up again.

It isn't forcing it on anyone, it isn't hurting anyone, it's just an option. Clearly there are people who would really enjoy such things, like I wouldn't mind riding through chernogorsk in a bmp guns blazing, crushing and killing anything in my way. It would be a break from the stresses and hardships of classic DayZ. I would favourite a couple of those servers and maybe go on with my friends and fix up really cool vehicles that we normally don't get to and have some fun. I think it would keep gameplay much the same in a way, I mean its just the case of sticks and rocks vs sticks and rocks, guns vs guns and then the next step military vehicles vs military vehicles. Same stuff just a level up.

Welcome to the life of a public server admin. Wait until player bitch at you for not being able to stop hackers, that is when the true joy begins. Maybe you would better like just doing your own Arma 2 OA server and getting the Wasteland mod or some other mod if you want all that stuff. Why change DayZ when there are other Arma2 mod have tons of vehicles weapons and everything else.. just no zombies...

The doubt used to bother me too. The only way is to get on a server where you are nearly 100% sure there are no hackers. Not all private hives are created equally though. I recommend Wireworld (EU server) especially if you like lower population servers and survival tactics. Note that 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. With 5-10 players on the server you can gear up and repair vehicles in hotspots knowing there is a small but significant risk of an encounter with someone, which should keep you on edge. Encounters are still possible in remote areas, but because they're rarer and more unexpected they can really get the adrenalin pumping. With 10-20 players on the server, gearing-up and maintaining your tents/vehicles obviously becomes more dangerous, but it's still possible. 20-25 players becomes more PvP orientated; time to leave your camp and go hunting! Wireworld tends to fluctuate between these amounts of players, so you have some quiet times to collect gear and repair vehicles, and some busier times when you can scout and kill players (or be killed!). I've tried the busy servers with 30-60 players, and really they don't have much survival aspect to them at all, just mostly death-matching. Once you know you're not just being teleported to by hackers, the only thing you can do is try not to break cover often.

In my personal opinion i think more vehicles will make the game boring. To me having to scavenge the vehicle and the parts for it makes the gameplay! Its more realistic and adds hours more gameplay...

I vote "endgame" for negative buzzword of 2005-2012. This game is about the journey, not the destination. Every game is, heck, life is. So why do people keep expecting a glorious mountain of fun at the very end of something.. Anyway, enough of the rant. If you havent even found a vehicle yet, there's still plenty to do. Explore the fringes of the map, looking for camps (that's where the vehicles are hidden). Alternatively, keep an overwatch over Airfields and high industrial zones (where Helis tend to come to refuel). You can also try Counter-Sniping in Cherno and Elektro, killing wanna be Pro-Snipers sitting there, waiting for freshly spawned players. Or you could try one of the half dozen different maps out there, offering fresh takes on the game (like Namalsk being about staying warm, while also having a lot more vehicles) Or you could just do some epic stuff that sounds fun to you, die in a glorious blast and experience the thrill of first-day survival all over again.

A recently rebooted server is looking for new mature members and avid roleplayers to enhance the REAL DayZ experience and provide some extra diversity to the current player base. By going to the link below, you can have a look at our website and see if it appeals to you. About us: Many of the current server members are ex-military from seperate countries which include: US, UK, and Poland. The other players are all mature players, who have chosen to endeavor on an experience that is truly unlike any DayZ server that has come before it. The administrators log anywhere from 8-12 hours a day in monitoring the server, and ensuring that everyone has the experience they would like most. Who we are looking for: We're looking for people that would like to play this game acting like they would in real life, in this situation. We are aware that this includes all types of players. Do you want to be a merchant? Do it! A Bandit? Do it! A mercenary? Do it! Play any role you would like while enjoying the DayZ experience how it was meant to be played. Any way you want! Who we're not looking for: Immature people, whom are only looking to find a place where they can be the most elite Player Killer ever to walk the grounds of DayZ. This is NOT a place to simply frag other players. If you're only interested in the narrow-minded aspect of general DayZ experiences, this is not a place you would want to be. What we offer: rMod installed and running. Green Zones, where no PVP can take place, that gives new roleplayers or players a chance to get themselves off on the right foot, so they can enjoy the full experience of their play. You can find these locations here:http://imgur.com/Fr6A3 Custom Camps (Built for you upon request by administrators), that follow green zone rulings and their own specific set of rulings as well. Don't like the green zone ruling placed on your camp? You can opt out at your own request! When you acquire the loot you've been looking for, this is a safe spot for you to set yourself up while you are offline. Afterall, just because we as human beings go to sleep, doesn't mean one should be able to take whatever they want while we are sleeping. Your camps and items within it are always safe while you are offline. Over 50 vehicle spawns! Have a vehicle you're not happy with? Kick it up a notch in your roleplaying, earn favor points, and trade them in for unique vehicles just for you or your entire team. Favor points, that are earned by playing your specific team role, or roleplaying however you wish your character to be. These can be spent on anything from weapons, vehicles, decorations, etc. Administrators constantly oversee the server, checking logs, and ensuring that everyone is playing within the rules that have been set in order to establish a server of unique possibilities and enjoyment. Side chat and Direct chat enabled. Server wide teamspeak, with specific channels for seperate teams. Why you should apply: If you are exhausted with being griefed right after you picked up the item you have been looking for, for weeks... Then this is the place for you! If you enjoy the roleplaying possibility of DayZ, and want to see how diverse the experience can actually be... Then this is the place for you! If you enjoy having a sense of unique quality, to go along with your unique style of play... Then this is the place for you! Disclaimer: Remember, we are a work in progress, and if you have a great idea that you aren't seeing in the game, bring it up to an admin or post on the forums and your idea will be considered. This is a true beta stage of the game, and we need new players to help us polish it to the point that the full experience can be had. Sound like a gig you like?

Requesting Support... programmer needed.... Hey all, Niki here. I was sitting around the other day, something I do a hell of a lot it seems, and was thinking about DayZ. Now during this little brainstorm session, ironic as my brain was in shut down, I had a few ideas which I'd like to try out and get implemented on a private hive server. Now I have already, I'm pretty sure, have a person with several servers on board to help me out. Now I need a programmer.... So enough with the typing and banter. Now with the ideas: So first things first. I was thinking of making it so that way the in-game "fuel-tanks" had limited petrol. I was thinking of setting them up with 100L max, and having a refill rate of 1L/H. Now the reason for this, is I do believe that this would foster some interesting game play. Say for instance the helo and APC (I'll talk more about this later). Instead of just flying around constantly looking for people's bases people would have too actually use their vehicles wisely. I think it would make the control of fuel points a priority and make fuel a vital resource, as in my opinion, it should be. Next I was thinking of adding in say 1-2 APC and 3-4 Technicals. (If we do this, I suggest up the AT weapon spawns as well). Now when I say add them, I don't mean to just make it an all out war. I think if the ammo had to be found, and was like as rare as NVGs, that too would foster some great game play. Say for instance my team found an APC. We'd have to fix it up. Then use our precious gas, which these things suck own, to drive it away. Then we'd have to find the ammo for it. I think that this would be great though, because if fuel and ammo are limited it'd be like a last resort weapon or siege weapon and would reward the players who spent the time to maintain them. Third, I was thinking of adding in the helo sling mod. This mod would allow certain helos like the Mi-17 to carry vehicles and other stuff, say like ammo, food, medical supplies and what not. This would make another interesting development in the feel of the game. I would only recommend doing this with the fuel mod though, as this would be an ultimate troll tool if it had unlimited gas. Finally, I really would like to see that base building be implemented. I think that too would add a lot of interesting characteristics to the game. Oh! Almost forgot. I think we should have side-chat disabled, unless... unless you find and have a radio. It seems ridiculous to have a global chat in a zombie apocalypse with nothing running it.

We don't trade vehicles why do people ask if they have to transfer servers for it??? Also sorry for the current delay but the server we use is currently down.

Thanks for replying guys. I see where you are coming from, not necessary to do that on all weaponry, maybe leave that optional to server admins? I'd limit some high tier ones, so kills would be more rewarding. It would be viable option to limit weapon spawn like they do with vehicles, weapon disappears - allowed for respawn. I'm specifying on pvt hive's only cause specific server player-base has 1 database, while hive server player base has as many databases as there are servers, which would be close to impossible to manage. Pvt hives currently have all the powers to modify weaponry in-game, but an item respawn control system as such is missing.

You have In my opinion you have a fun time playing the game how it should be played, not adding fucking 500 vehicles or a ton of loot. It takes all the fun out. That's why I don't get the point behind private hives. Helping players is actually taking away from them the fun of finding shit themselves.

My suggestion is to limit amount of weapons/gadgets used in dayz. Mod: I'd like to see an option that would empower private hive servers to limit the amount of weaponry, and maybe even gadgets like NVG's rangefinders etc., similar to the vehicles. Example: Per server there would be limited amount of military grade rifles, sniper rifles, NVG's What would it give: People that worked, killed, betrayed, risked their "lives" for better gear, will be rewarded with limited edition of certain weapon, making every coast spawn and journey afterwards a bit different every time. Battles between clans would make much more sense, to acquire better items, deny your enemy of loot, etc. Standalone: If weapons will spawn in standalone similar to Dayz Mod, it would be great to limit it by amount per region. Thanks for reading.

As the only limited resource in DayZ vehicle numbers should probably stay pretty low. What else is worth raiding camps or fighting over? More vehicles and less fuel would also be a good solution. Probably more realistic too. How many days after Hurricane Sandy did the NY Metro area start running out of fuel? All that being said, I don't particularly care, I'm with Jamz, generally preferring foot travel or the occasional bicycle tour. “Little boys love machines; girls adore horses; grown-up men and women like to walk.” --Edward Abbey Also... Rule #1: Cardio

I believe more cars add to the atmosphere, but 1400 is a little silly. My server has around 400 vehicles. 105 of them are bicycles. The vast majority of the rest are sedans, vans, pick-ups, motorcycles, and atvs. The remaining 40 are divided up amongst Ural-type trucks, some Humvees with mounted weapons, UAZs with mounted weapons, and Pickups with mounted weapons. And then only three helicopters. The vast majority of my players love the amount of vehicles, as it ends up being 3-4 per small town, with the larger towns holding the vast majority of the vehicles. How I handle clans and hoarding on my server is every Monday vehicles get reset back to their original spawns. This excludes both the Ural type trucks and tents. Players get to keep their "base" of operations, but have to continually spend that time on transportation that simulates both wear and tear and the unpredictability of living in a persistant world. This also pushes those cushy clans to go out and do something other than PvP bambis. And this ensures that new spawns and players have a chance to drive around in something. This is, of course, my opinion, having ran my server for the past four months.

I hope the server admin will see this as it was uncalled for. Last week, me and my buddy found a boat near Berezino and took it out to the Island where the Huey spawn, Skal-something. We didnt find any heli and decided to call it a day as my back was hurting from playing for many hours, so we log out at the island. Today we log on and and decide to give the island one last look before we leave, doing so we find two heli's on the south end of the island, a huey and a mi-17, completely full of fuel and all parts green. We decide to take them both to move our camp to a safer location. Whilst moving weapons and items, the admin pops up saying where did you get them vehicles, I explained all above and he or she replied with, 'permaban inbound' I was enjoying the server till that happened as we had a little cache going, and a buddy was going to join us. It goes to show that the admins didn't like the fact that someone took their chopper. 1. i would never hack 2. i wouldnt know where to start if I was to If you want to unban us, great, we'll keep on playing, but listen properly first before you use your power.

First of all, if this is the wrong place for this question, I apologize, and mods feel free to move this. So, I was playing on a server today that my friend recommended to me. I was running along the shore with my freshly spawned character, and some douche hacker said on side chat that he'd give everyone (we were like 3 people on at the time, 4 with him) a mod menu (infection) where we could spawn vehicles, teleport on the map and do something else that I don't remember. I would've taken a screenshot but I didn't have dxtory open at the time. I was afraid to get banned so I ALT-F4ed right away, but now I'm scared not to get a ban for that. =/ I didn't spawn anything, I just exited out of the menu right away. What can happen if we get the mod menu infection given to us by a douchebag? Now on behalf of my friend that was on the server as well, what will happen if he spawned a vehicle with that menu (KEEP IN MIND, THE HACKER INFECTED US ALL WITH IT, HE WASN'T THE ONE SCRIPTING, NOR WAS I!) and took a few weapons from the hacker's crate? I'll leave this here and wait for answers. Also to all the flamers/haters/whatever, please leave my thread. If my friend or I were the ones to do this, do you seriously think I'd go brag all about it on an official forum? I'm just saying this for a legit reason, because I'm afraid of playing on official servers now, and I want to make sure that I can at least play there and not have to worry about douches getting us banned with their infections. Also, if anyone in charge says it's okay, If I ever see this again, I'll take a screenshot instead of ALT-F4ing right away, and I'll show everyone what I mean by infection menu. Thanks in advance for any answers. I'm really scared right now... :/
