Hia. I`ve been playing dayz for some time now. The last 2 months I finaly found a private hive with active admins, but they recently changed from chernarus to taviana.... permanently it seems. And I miss chernarus. I`m looking for a whitelisted server or a server with active admins and no hackers. I got enough of public servers a long time ago. I hate hackers and cba to play on any server where I get killed by a hacker every time I log on for a 6-8 hour gaming session. 22 years old from norway my english isnt good but understandable I`m not good at dayz, but I find the game fun. I like co-operating but I have problems trusting people. I dont consider myself a bandit but dont come runing towards me screaming friendly, if you have a weapon I will shoot. I prefer to talk to people on skype/Teamspeak or skype before teaming upp. I find getting a sniper, and a ghillie suit and camp outside a city watching other people fun. And every now and again if I see 2 people shooting at each other or someone getting ambushed, I shoot the guy that is winning. Thats all I do, if I dont run around looking for vehicles or more weapons and suplies :)

US 1109 Chernarus Whitelisted Server! Why should we join you? Whitelisting! Tired of losing all of your gear because some hacker signs on? Whitelisting reduces most of the hackers, however if some do get through we can still rollback the server and ban the user! Although we are a private hive, i make sure that my admin team are professional We have a good balance between friendlies and bandits in-game. We have very simple rules to keep things in place and organized. We currently have a website, dayz private hive hosted in the United States. Features USA server host located in Washington DC (dayz.st) Whitelisting Private hive Gotcha anti-hax 100+ Vehicles (it wont take you days to find a trashed car) Wrecks Server rollbacks should a cheater find his way in. Active Admins (looking for a few more active and MATURE admins) Admins have a strict NON interference roll. 50 player server Updates done as soon as they are available. Tags are OFF 3rd person is on Side chat is ON. However limited voice in side chat and NO voice or text chat that gives away the location of another player. NO lag Little server downtime Server reboots every 12 hours.

Two friends and I have come across a very good server. Their admin and his clan seems reasonable and cool, and the server is fun to play on. (3P: ON, TR: OFF, DM: ON, NP:OFF, CH: ON, SC: OFF, no whitelist or password) With no side chat, the medicing service becomes difficult/impossible, but heroes can still make a difference. I even prefer the no SC because it makes it more brutal and tense, not being able to ask some clan at the NWAF for a heli pickup as a fresh spawn, or asking if there's friendlies in cherno. My friends are trying to bring a hero side to the server, but with our numbers against at least two coordinated clans, we aren't getting anywhere. We'd like to do a few things such as: -Setup manned/unmanned medical checkpoints across the coast to give fresh spawns a bit better standing with the basic needs, stored in either a tent or a basic vehicle. -Giving rides or medical aid to survivors -Setup anti-bandit checkpoints/roadblocks in high traffic routes to eliminate bandits. -Rescue convoys securing coast cities and extracting survivors -Sabotage bandit efforts -----Sabotaging vehicles -----Defending/fortifying popular loot zones or cities -----Kidnapping bandit clan members, and holding them hostage for ransom (or just give those bandits something to throw resources at other than fresh spawns and innocent looters) This isn't an official clan yet, but it could definitely be headed in that direction. I'm looking for mature gamers who: -Don't whine when killed or when gear is lost. -Don't brag after killing. -Ask questions first, shoot if necessary (aim for KO before headshot) -Want to bring a sense of society/heroism back to DayZ -Play fairly (no exploits, combat/zombie logging, hacking, etc.) -Are atleast 16-17 -Play for the challenge and the fun, not to get angry at other players or bitch about losing their gear -Plays well with others If you're interested post a reply and include the following: Age: Skype: Previous clan experience (if any): DayZ experience: Favorite DayZ activity (looting, pvp, medicing, etc.): How often you play: I'll likely play on pubs with any promising applicants before accepting. Hope to see you in hell!

You have to pay a vehicles fee.

Agreed that starting gear completely defeats the purpose for me but that is what most of what DayZ player base wants, the kiddies at least.I ran a vanilla server with some custom modifications, debug monitor, removed the m107/as50/dmr/l85a2 aws. My players only spawned with a chech bag, a bandage, and a flashlight. Those changes put me in the same place as you, I think my peak was 2 players LOL. Before private hives, I had a 40/40 server that was full almost 24/7. Private hives gave admins to much power over the game and completely destroyed the mod, now if you don't start with a gun, have over 1k vehicles and 24/7 daylight your probably wont get many players. This is why I shut my server down until the standalone.

Filled with bugs and glitches that will make most people rage and/or quit the mod entirely. For example; - If a door bumps you while opening, it will most likely break your legs and/or kill you. - Walking over rocks sometimes does the same. - Trying to drive over a bridge with an ATV results into a backflip and possibly your death if it stays upside down. - Break your legs and/or get knocked unconscious for 1-5 minutes for falling half a meter. - Random deaths Hackers are also very common. They can.. - Spawn weapons for themselves/others. - Spawn vehicles. - Break everyone's legs. - Teleport everyone or themselves anywhere. (Including mid-air which kills you.) - Turn invisible. - Become invincible. - Take control of your character. - Play a video on your screen. - List goes on.. Are you scared yet? Your best bet is to wait for the Standalone, which should be coming out in 1-2 months. Almost every problem we currently have with the mod will be fixed with the standalone release, but it still won't be a finished game. DayZ is currently in Alpha, and is only a mod. It will also be released on Steam in Alpha, when the standalone comes out.

Damage to instruments makes the HUD (The in-helmet one) start flickering. (At least in the ARMA games. Not sure if any vehicles with the inhelmet hud exist in dayZ)

I was running through most northern part of the forest when I stummbled across a camp that I pressumed was hacked (had a lot of as50s, ghilles, svd camos, nvgs, satchel charges and whatnot) so I beging to look through the cars and tents, as I'm doing so, I notice a player logs in ( he was crouched near a tent as he flashed and disappeared for a split second). Quickly, I run away to a nearby tree where I could keep eyes on him He spawns in abd starts checking the tents and vehicles, obviously, he's the owner or one of the owners of the camp. I pop out from the tree and kill him, he then proceeds to flame me over side chat and so on. So I decide to try and pull a little stunt. I leave his body there with all his loot on it, and I take a satchel and place them around the cars, so that when he comes to loot the body, the explosion of the cars will destroy the camp along with sending him flying. I wait about 45 mintues and see him come back and he heads straight for the body, the satchels go off but to my surprise the radius wasn't large enough to kill him. But to my satisfaction, a part of the car flys into the air and lands directly on top of him, killing him. I never laughed so hard at anything on this game. He didn't even rage, he just aborted and I never saw him again

Hello Guys and Galls! Are you tired of hackers and just want a nice server with a great community that just wants to play the game how it should be played? We are recruiting players for our Namalsk Server and we are looking for honest players that just want to enjoy DayZ as intended. I'm looking for some players for my passworded server, After 7 Times in one day! Hackers destroyed our public server that was always full and very popular just like so many others which is so dissapointing after haveing the server public for 5 months :(. I have decided to turn it to private because it is unfair to every one that looses items over and over again and the time and effort of all the players to the Admins (mainly me) that have to check logs, find the hackers and ban ect, ect! We are looking for all kind of players mainly Europe because the server is hosted by Vilayer and is in Luxenbourg but ported for UK players ect (but still feel free to ask as we have 3-4 US players with about 100ms). We currently have active players and are looking for a few more to join us! We are looking for Clans or groups of friends to join, and not to forget the lone wolfs EVERYONE! We currently have about 2 clans on and a small group of friends, there is always people on the server and always people to track down and shoot! There is 2 choppers on the server and 30 land vehicles and 6 boats so there's always a few cars knocking about! At Peak times we hit about 20 players strong and have been hack free since we started (3 weeks with Password). I hope to see you in game having a good time. We are VERY strict about hacking, ZERO toleration. If you hack, script or Break the rules in any way you will receive an irreversible ban, We just want normal down to earth players that just want to have a good time and don't want to be raped over and over again by them script kiddies.

Thanks for the input everyone! Went to try your run through Raryin, and I downloaded Arma Pbo View, but I don't see those folders you were talking about, just the Addons folders. Any thoughts? Also another note I dont have the Object_Data table, mine is called vehicles (I'm running Bliss FYI). If I need to supply screenshots let me know. Thanks again!

After a night of playing DayZ we encountered a lot of people and action, we decided to make this into a longer video with a different style compared to our normal ones. First we found 2 guys in a Military Offroad. Whilst heading to the North East Airfield we then encountered a car. We then found a crashed helicopter with zombies around it which made us suspect there was a player nearby. The server we play on has extra vehicles which explains why so many people seem to have cars. The server we play on is UK #8008 uk8008.co.uk [WHITE-LISTED] Enjoy.

********************************************************************************************* CO 987 New private server!! Low population Active Admins Extra Crash Sites!! Always Daytime Lots of vehicles!!!

I don't bother with vehicles in the game it's like ringing the dinner bell for a bandit with a rifle. Though I will admit they can be handy when someone else is driving one and the bandit reveals his position to me so I can relieve him of his gear by burying his body as I have no use for sniper weapons

I suppose that clan training just represents rugged efficiency out in the field of Chenerus (or whatever map your clan is frequently using). I certainly won't bash on it, since tactics in the engine of a Realistic Military Simulator seems logical. But unlike regular Arma, some tactics used in clans seem lengthy and are more likely to get you killed. To send an entire group into Cherno and having them killed by a snipe squad would be a waste of resources and time. I would go for the basics, send out at most 2 guys to certain areas to do some looting (food/parts/vehicles/etc.), one as a guard and the other as the scavenger. It has worked phenomenally for me in the past and is by far the most basic idea you get have. Guard can have two options, sticking with the scavenger, or staying as spotter to keep an eye on the vicinity. I would recommend a DMR for the guard, or if that's unlikely, at least a Lee Enfield. If the guard prefers to keep close by the scavenger, let him have an Assault rifle, or an M14 AIM. Scavenger keeps a relativly large backpack and basic secondary (preferably a PDW). If the zone proves more threatening (eg. more players and concentration in certain areas), a basic AK would do the scavenger well.

Either all of these are bad ideas that don't fit the theme of DayZ (NPCs, BMWs??? Gun shops [wasteland *cough cough*] ) Or they have already been talked about (more vehicles, clothing) Or I have no idea what you just said ("there is alot of player's online and when they go afk you can punch them and basicly push them into building's")

Thanks to all that replied, think we have found our new home at DayZ Unleashed server. Go to http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/106838-dayz-unleashed-veteran-whitelisted-private-hive-gmt-5-130-vehicles-custom-crash-sites/ if you want to take a look.

Hi everyone, myself and a friend (sask) just recently (week ago) started playing dayz. So far our experience of dayz resumes to, everyday spending couple of hours scaveging and gathering that nice gear, trying to find a vehicle (with very little success), and in the end getting all those hours spent thrown down the drain by a hacker, that just teleports to us and instantly kill us on sight.. rinse and repeat. It's been like that every single day, somedays it even happens more than once. So, with that in mind, we are now trying to find a nice private hive with whitelist on. Hoping and I'm guessing here, that hackers aren't that popular in such servers. What we looking for is a vanilla like server, don't want servers with kitted out starter kit nor anything of the sort. Maybe few more vehicles, that would be sweet. Other than that, crosshairs, nameplates and 3DP camera.. so regular difficulty is what we looking for. Please let us know if your private hive server is exactly or close to what we're looking for, and I'm sure you'll be seeing us there soon :)

Hey guys. I have a few suggestions for the standalone and/or mod if the Devs have time to do it. There are alot of issues right now that I see as unrealistic which need to be rectified. To my understanding, I believe the devs wanted this game to be as realistic as possible yet there are alot of unrealistic things. I know some of these things such as ammo and weapons lying about must be allowed or it would break the game but there are others that can be safely removed/changed and it wouldn't change anything on a big-scale. Below is a list of things that I think would benefit the game and make it a little more realistic: Changes: 1: GPS apparently runs without batteries. Same as NVG's and NV/Thermal scopes. Do you see power outlets? These items should have either a limited life or you should have the ability to solar charge its power source. (Solar charger available as rare loot) or find spare parts such as batteries. 2: People should spawn anywhere. Including houses, woods and cities as far north as you can go. This would of course make Cherno and Elektro a little quieter but it would make the other towns/cities more usable unsafe and populated. You should also spawn lying down as if you just awoke from being passed out but that's just my personal opinion. 3: All these broken vehicles but none have electrical issues. All the car batteries and wiring seem to be in immaculate condition even though the rest of the vehicle looks like it has been hit by a train. You should have the vehicle damage include electrical systems and also add a vehicle battery as loot. Maybe also have gunfire and crashes mess with the electrical systems and set off the horn/alarm. 4: Backpack sizes need to be updated to match their visual size. 5: You shouldn't spawn with a backpack or at least make it random. 6: Weapons need to take up less room in the backpack. You can stick an M24 in your pack and it takes up alot but in reality, it wouldn't fit in there. You would have to have it sticking out and therefor it would take up as much backpack room as a 2 Litre bottle of coke. 7: Updated in SA This is my biggie. If nothing else gets added but this, I would still be happy. As you have probably heard before, Zombie movement needs updating. You should be running from slow-ish, brain-dead beings instead of intelligent Olympic Kenyan marathon runners that have only one single memory from their living days and that was the Matrix Bullet-dodge move. Make zeds slower with an increased number. Maybe have the movements like these zeds in this video: . As you can see, they move quite fast still but not OTT like they are now. Right now you can flat out run into these things and rarely need to dodge them as they run at you doing their Matrix moves. If they moved slower then you would have to zig-zag and move around them making them more of a hassle. Maybe add a feature where they can grab you and you have to spam say the fire button button to get loose. Right now zeds are nothing but a hindrance and this needs to be updated.----------------------------------- Additions: 1: Use other vehicles as spares or repairs and removing parts especially the wheels including the trashed ones just lying about. (There is a vehicle near the Stary tents that looks like it would be up and running with a little TLC. I have had dreams at night about driving her with that sexy red interior.) 2: Make the dressers/wardrobes in standalone lootable and that's the main place where you get your clothing from. 3: Namalsk, Panthera etc. etc. map import. 4: Map Editor. 5: Updated in SA TrackIR support for standalone. 6: Realistic firearm effects. Jamming, rifle cleaning. (Did hear it was a confirmed feature but couldn't find the official proof). 7: A movable fuel truck needs to be added. (Primarily once DayZ gets the bases option) Have is so that you have to find a "Big Rig" and travel to its location to hook it up and move it to another location. Also, while it is static, others can syphon fuel from it like it was a standard tank. Anyways, sorry for the wall of text. Could go on all day with features but that would just make this post more of a troll/hater magnet :)

ugh, I run a public hive and have essentially given up my right to play in order to keep hackers in check. I basically just sit and watch the logs looking for any suspicious activity, or watch BERcon for mass log outs... Oh and FYI you can PW protect it w/o getting much guff from anywhere, I haven't ever but one of the guys I gave admin rights when I went away over the holidays PW locked out server for essentially the whole time I was gone because someone was hacking... I wasn't happy about it and unlocked it as soon as I heard, but it was PW protected for over 5 days and I nor gameservers.com ever got any notice from DayZ and PW lock is against the hosting rules.. While this is not a cheap manor of policing, and frankly it sickens me that admins have to put themselves at risk like this, but you can always find out WHAT map tools and hacks the baddies are using and run some counter ops on your server... IMO the only solution to this problem is to allow active admins to hack on their own public servers... and ONLY THEIR OWN PUBLIC SERVERS... it SHOULD be pretty easy for them to modify existing hacks so they're tagged and then distribute them to admins on public servers with their instance ID tied to the program, so they can't distribute it... and if they use it on another server it will be detected... now THAT would be the proper solution IMO... You get to keep the open public servers, but you give the admins the tools to deal with hackers, detect them early, and rectify any destruction they've caused... But I think expecting any answers or action out of them at this point is hopeful and kind of pretentious... I've learned to deal with adminning an open server, it sucks and means I can barely play the game anymore, but at least I can keep the people on my server SEMI safe and assist them if there is a major attack where they wrongfully lose their kit. Other than teleporting though (running 9k is not fun ever) I don't really get the point of hacking, it spoils ALL the fun of the game, who wants to know where people are? That is literally what makes the game fun, being CONSTANTLY paranoid that here is someone around the corner watching waiting to shoot you or friend up who knows... And the risks of rebuilding vehicles, hunting for loot etc... It's no fun when you can insta heal, or repair cars, or spawn items... all that stuff is there pretty much and if it's not you're getting logged in the pubvariable log anyway so what's the point?? just some rambling opinions

Firstly, on topic.. when I played OFP (operation flashpoint, the first milsim from BI) in a clan, we also practised, and not only pvp situations, but also shooting at a range, driving different vehicles etc.. the weirdest, most unimportant thing that I recall, was learning the names/models of different vehicles and weapons. It didnt feel weird at the time, because it was a milsim and we played it like a simulation. We were almost pretending to be in the army.. :blush: ofcourse, we didnt exercise like privates, that would have been too much! :D But if you mean practising just like what you described, I agree that its a bit stupid on largely populated servers. But I can see where your coming from, and I agree that some people take it a little too seriously, but I think that it has something to do with DayZ being a simulation (anti-)game. The fact that you lose all of your progress upon death is something that makes your heart beat when the bullets start flying. And BTW I would love to see some kind of long lasting tournament in DayZ. Maybe something like who survives the longest, with the first death eliminating you from the competition, but instead from dropping you out of action, you get to start again. (it would be the same 50 players locked to the tournament for the duration of it, with maybe a certain amount of hours that you must play each day) Ofcourse as your out of the competition, your job is to hunt the remaining competitors out. (or maybe the eliminators who died could give their place to a random player, who wants to try their chances in the elimination) Though this might not work because of the fact, that you can just survive in the woods on the edge of the map, as long as you want. But then again, could this be prevented by giving the competitors different daily goals, like visiting a certain city? (everyone has the same goal, to guarantee conflicts) As this just came to my mind, Im not sure would this work in a way that honors what DayZ is, as it encourages or lets say.. makes you engage in pvp, and because of that it isnt only surviving.. but it could be something to consider about. ^_^ Indeed. Especially when you seem to profit from this. B)
