Variety is the spice of life. I went on a 3-4 month pure survival kick when I first started but at this point I enjoy "casual" DayZ servers with starting loot and a great deal of vehicles. A good example is Taviana, without a vehicle the map is too large to do anything, with a vehicle the map is awesome.

I came on that same server just a acouple of days ago there were bodies and vehicles everywhere, I killed a bandit at the Balota AF he had one of every weapon in his inventory thought it was a bit weird so I hid the body. then I log in yesterday and as I'm spawwning in a Heli with a minigun spawned in on top of me and blasted the crap out of me. After I respawned in Elctro I wanted to run to cherno where the chopper killed me so I could get my gear back and all the sudden I started doing handstands and dancing around and couldn't stop. This was one of my favorite servers but it's just getting ruined.

I keep my tents in an obvious place (not really obvious like in a field)...sometimes it works best as no one expects them there so no one bothers checking for tents/vehicles. I've had 3 tents near to the NWAF (within 300 metres) for a month on a public server and no one has found them yet!

Not had that problem on my server at all, just tested it on Panthera. Try spawning a vehicle in manually, don't forget to hit the "spawn" button until you get at least 4 in a row that say "0 Vehicles Spawned" and see if you can repair it. Failing that, if you haven't got many players to worry about, change the map to Chernarus, restart server then back to Panthera, that will wipe everything.

Hi, just asking for some opinions... Do you like alot of server events? Do you like seeing custom content put in unused parts of the map? Do you like alot of vehicles? What do you like to see on a server?

To me DayZ is a zombie survival shooter. The survival element as well as the zombie element and obviously the shooting is all very important. I see loads and loads of servers completely ruining the 'survival' aspect of DayZ with servers containing loadouts, 100+ vehicles, 5+ choppers and loads of other additions that to me are extremely gamebreaking and just not what DayZ should be about. I like DayZ at its base level, without all the modifications that loads of people seem to add to their servers that cheapen the game for me. What do you find important - what is DayZ to you?

OK children like there isn't enough boobs on the internet already. Serious response to op. I'm not really a fan of events. I prefer stuff that happens off the cuff, I find it more memorable than constructed events. I think unused parts of the map need to stay mostly unused to keep the feeling of distance that we currently have in chernarus. I'm not opposed to random things showing up ie heli crashes etc in the out of the way places that are infrequently visited. As far as vehicles go, i think vanilla dayz levels of vehicles are fine except for maybe more bikes :)

Thanks for the update Rocket! I know it's asking a lot but will you release information about the game mechanics before releasing the game? I don't mean deep insights on how the game is working (that would ruin the fun of exploring it) but rather if certain mechanics like loot/zed spawn mechanics (hello loot cycling as i call it), weapon balancing (hello L85/m107/as50) and vehicle scarcity (having more vehicles but less gas stations to create more hotspots) are changed or tweaked? I think DayZ could use some modifictations regarding it's mechanics and i am sure you and your team know about it too. I would like to know if you are already thinking or even implementing such changes in the current development stage or if it will be done after the initial release. I imagine these topics not being high on your to-do list right now (kinda cosmetic changes imo) but what do i know :) Keep up the good work and give the community the zombie game it needs right now ;D PS: New player models/clothings look **** awesome!

Some great idea's, not sure about the exact choices you chose though. Locks are a great idea, perhaps you can find them throughout the map and put them on existing Buildings, so as to fortify them moreso. I don't think things like Electronic locks would.. fit, if that's the correct term, with DayZ. As I see it, It's about surviving as long as possible - Then, after becoming well equipped you move onto more challenging things; Finding vehicles, creating Camps ECT. Even then after creating / finding the aforementioned things, there is always an ever-present danger of being found. Padlocks would help if you set-up in a small shack or something like that, with the only way of gaining access being with Bolt Cutters, or simply shooting the Lock (Allowing any near-by Infected to be attracted, meaning most people would think twice before simply shooting a Door knob to then find a troll Tent)

Hi all, Just wanted to bring attention to this amazing server and equally amazing community, I've been playing DayZ for more than 6 months now and have not had a better experience on any other server. Below are several key details :) Daily active players: 358 (Changes Daily) Max Players: 40 (Slowly increasing while monitoring stability) Vehicles:Usually averages around 40+ however recent base raiding has lowered the number, but more spawns are added regularly Physical Server Location: Germany Restart timer: 4 Hours Battleye: Enabled + Many custom anti cheat systems 3rd Person: On Crosshairs: Off Veteran: On Summer: On Admins: 24/7 Several really key points to this server are the use of custom bases, these act as a secure location for a player or group of players to capture and hold, there's a gate system incorporated which allows you to keep it secure. Great for storage! The list of custom features and fixes for this server is rather extensive, I can only suggest you guys head on over to the servers website and be the judge yourselves :) www.dayzmad.com I'll be looking at this thread regularly and I'll be sure to answer what questions I can! Thanks for reading!

Check out www.dayzmad.com It's a UK based server, loads of custom guns, better zombies, 40+ vehicles. They even have custom bases players can find and capture :) Really loads of fun! (private hive with super active admins. Cheers!

So excited! The interiors look amazing! Also, the character in the last screenshot's got swag. Full-Size screenshots: Q: Do we actually spawn in our underwear? A: No, but you can drop your clothes, or I guess someone might order you to drop them. Q: How do we get to be one of the testers? A: Those who are testing will get the game for free, and never have to pay for future versions. Their job will be tough. We're starting by rewarding the forum moderators, reddit moderators, dayz mod development and community support team, etc... Rocket also did a quick Q&A on liriks livestream, these are the (paraphrased) answers: - Some twitch streamers will be in the test - There will be an NDA in the closed test, but streaming will be allowed. - Release (test) could be any day now - Clothing is unisex - Weapons will have durability and there will be weapon cleaning. - They want to allow modding later on, once the game is stable/secure. - Cars/vehicles will be phase two priority, Rocket wants to redo them completely so you can change parts, engines, build, mix and match Mad Max style. - Rocket hopes to be able to "Mad Max style" build cars, interchanging parts and engines etc. - More blood gore, not cheesy though - Individual bone fractures will exist in a few months, it's not complete but the engine architecture is done. - DayZ will likely be ported to xbox if sales are over 1 million. - The game is heavily optmized, our three programmers are the people who made the engine, there WILL be some problems, at least for the first three months but most of that will be server oriented, most fps improvements at client end will probably be soaked up by graphic improvements. - Night and lighting? The artist and programmer who revised the lighting for ArmA3 will be helping with DayZ, closer to release. - The new skin shader is from the ARMA III engine - Adding children to the game has been considered. Also a Q&A we did with Matt can be found here: http://dayzmod.com/f...thew-lightfoot/ Some more questions answered by Rocket on Reddit can be found here: http://dayzmod.com/f...20#entry1106882

Yes. I'm tired of seeing people run trough zombie hordes to pick some shit up and then run back into their vehicles. Some goes for fresh spawns, they run recklessly trough a zombie horde without getting killed.

Cracking night's gaming last night, got us a rag tag squad of 6, got multiple vehicles, an apache - btw, I'd love to know who we were shooting at outside elektro with the copter, he/she ran and dodged and weave for so long from the copter's gun fire, we let him/her live (they earned it!!!), got revenge on Cat and Gerry in a fantastic set up and even had time to shoot weasel when he was trying to use the toilet. (Sorry mate, was guarding something). May have killed a few more players than I usually do, but it's back to being Nice Mr B now, the one who gives out guns to bambis!

Agreed. Some servers now are going way overboard with the amount of vehicles and start equipment. Its good fun for a little while if you're looking for pure PvP but it wears off.

I agree with rboos. I would say, from most to least important: 1/ Uptime, fast logon & regular restarts. Players want consistency. If they know that a server is always functional, they will join this one first. 2/ Low ping, well populated, good rank. It is quite stupid, but players sort servers by ping and take a server that is already well populated 3/ Daylight. Setting time to summer and night to full moon help to get players stay longer on the server. 4/ Difficulty to Regular (with crosshair and 3rd person view), high ping welcomed 5/ Strong anticheat & Admins (watching with Gcam) 6/ Vehicles. Players want to know they can find the 43 vehicles on the map 7/ Community, Teamspeak: these may help. I use public hive, so I can't perform any rollback, but I tweaked the server to stick with all the points above.

We've now added a couple more REPAIRED vehicles around the coast and a few more helicopters as we don't want to many of you walking :)

Well the server got more updates last night, Bases have been added, extra weapons added to dilute the more rarer ones... New vehicles.. in fact im so proud of the changes i feel like going mad.... with Guitars!!

Anyone else having issues with vehicles not repairing on Pantera? I've removed all the vehicles and respawned them all.... It seems that is a vehicle spawns, mainly choppers, they can't be repaired. This has been going on since the servers have been hacked, or is it an update glitch?

We run a Taviana map, it's bigger than Cherno and each city has more things to loot in them and more custom and enterable buildings that aren't in Cherno. There's more hospitals, pubs, apartment blocks, loads of barracks around (including new enterable ones), we have a max vehicles limit of 500 enabled including hummers, land rovers (pinkies), different choppers, cargo planes, VW Golfs, SUVs etc. We also have custom weapons available (Makarov SD, G36). Check out our server, details can be found on our website's server page: http://www.bsbnetwork.com/servers

Ok first off your not going to find a decent server with 250-350 vehicles or 50-100 aircraft because of framerate lag, Second, I'm pretty sure that was an rmod server frankie was on, map and vehicle wise. last but not least if you want base building all that jazz, try dayz plus its got a bit of base construction implemented.

Thanks guys, was looking for a good server... Been playing here for about a week now. Lot of vehicles, good spawnrate in buildings!!!! Could use some more people th0' So join peeps!!! :thumbsup:
