Losing gear is not that bad, I have lost three vehicles that I owned for about 10 minutes.

No it must be an actual bug that has happened past couple of days. It was all working fine for me and the people on my server, then about 2-3 days ago the error keeps occuring, I had numerous people ask about it. Although rMod still works on the server for people who have it installed. People who don't have it installed can also join the server and can play as normal but they can't see the rMod vehicles, it is very strange.

I have been playing DayZ for a while now, and have been in a few clans... when i joined my last clan it was fine, till people started hacking, and the Clan/Server owner hacked to find out where everyone in the server was, even find all vehicles and tents.... so i decided to leave and stopped playing, now i have decided to look for a new clan to join... hopefully in New Zealand or Australia.. I play for fun, Work well in a group, but.. i will shoot on sight if i don't trust a random i see, because it's hard to trust someone that you don't know and who is not in your clan... i use to help people out, by giving them food, water even weapons till some guy shot me in the back of the head, now i will only trust a clan member... So if there is any New Zealand/Australia clans out there willing to have me in the clan please leave a post.. and i will hopefully reply soon.. I will also leave my details below; Ingame Name: D3adPool 21 years old I have Teamspeak 3 with a working Mic I live in New Zealand if you want to know anything else just ask.. Thank you, D3adPool

DayZ Bounty Hunters Have you recently been killed by some thundercunt bandit, just so he can have your beans? Is there a guy on your server who constantly brags about his loot, or his love for killing innocents? Well, not anymore. I have begun to set up a small operation, and with a few vehicles, some coke and beans, and a very high powered sniper rifle, I'd like to make all of your problems go away. Simply reply or PM me the persons name, his last known location, the server he was on (Optional), and any other information that could be helpful, and I will do my best to hunt him down, and put a bullet through his tiny brain. I ask of nothing in return, except for maybe some quick meds, or food/drink. Once the kill takes place, I will give you the location of the body and you may have all of your foe's loot, no questions asked. And if you try to set me up, I assure you, even if you do kill me, you will not be alive for much longer. Happy Hunting, drbigtoe

I am definitely in if you'll take another teamate. I've been playing for about 10 months. Good map knowledge and understanding of loot yield and loot spawn. Age: 18 Location: East US skype: superfly541 TS3: xXsuperfly541Xx Marksman: excellent sniper and spotter. Can find ranges quickly & knows many arma tricks for doing so. understands use of mildots for quick body shots Engineering: Good heli pilot (even in poor condition) and most other vehicles. except boats. i f***king hate boats =( Assault team: admittedly poor. I play defensively most often. typically closing in on enemy players results in my death. supply and support: i can do this also hmu on here or skype (tho im not usually on skype, mostly use teamspeak) please send teamspeak info. look forward to joining bro!

Our server allows you to build forts you can load hescos and such into vehicles and transport them around the map. Heres me and a buddy's build took us less than 40 minutes and all items were locked into place so if someone wanted to take down the base it takes them 30 second timer per item to achieve makes for some good clean fun we thought it was a nate idea.

My friend and I both started playing DayZ. The first problem we ran into is other players having better guns and vehicles than us. What are some good starting servers or maybe some tips for two new teammates?

i am also interested in joining :) sounds awesome. my name is Anthony, location: US age: 16 Skills: close combat, sniping, spotting, being awesome, and really good with all vehicles. contact me with skype monk2007monk, also have TS3 but never used it.

Battlefield 3, FIFA.- Not a mod. Mirror's Edge, Assassins Creed.- Not a mod. Brink.- Not a mod. . *If you're carrying a very heavy pack on your back, things can change dramatically. - Agreed you should become dehydrated quicker and lose running speed. This is why packs should be permanent, like tents and vehicles, if you drop them. - Should be permanent? All these items can be destroyed or lost therefore not permanent. If you drop them? unsure what is meant. This is common military practice Making a quick escape and being free to move unhindered and lightweight- Untrue as accountability is everything in the military I only ever dropped my load to mount my rifle over the top and steady a shot. Pack=Lifeline patrols without a pack never good idea as you never know what aspects will change and alter your course. You could be out for a day patrol and get pinned in a valley for 3 days under extreme heat leading to heat casualties and such. Overall on the first section I think it would be awesome for more versatile movement..However this is a mod created off Arma-2 and its design doesnt fit that profile.

Battlefield 3, FIFA. Mirror's Edge, Assassins Creed. Brink. Games that have tried to portray somewhat realistic human movement. --- What I'm getting at is not everybody would break their legs dropping (different from falling) out of a first story window (just roll)*. And nearly everybody would be able to climb on top of a car or even over a wall that is above head height. Maybe you could go as far to say that the vast majority of able bodied people could climb up to a second story window of a house, or up to the top of a tree, if they had to, to survive. And if I was being chased by zombies. I would NEVER stop in my tracks just to sling something over my shoulder (e.g. a rifle). I would unload both my main weapon and my sidearm at a straight run if I had a snarling, bloody, murderous beast chasing me in the dark. NO! FFS DON'T EVER STOP RUNNING! JUMP THAT FENCE! DIVE! ON ALL FOURS! MOVE! It's really the one thing that put me off ArmA in the first place. You're a soldier, an athlete. Get your drills right, sure, but this is a fucking war zone mate, DOUBLE TIME. Yahtzee also mentioned this in his review. *If you're carrying a very heavy pack on your back, things can change dramatically. This is why packs should be permanent, like tents and vehicles, if you drop them. This is common military practice. Making a quick escape and being free to move unhindered and lightweight is a very deep mechanic.

I would enjoy the game more If we were locked into expert. first person only would be an amazing experience as everyone would be on a level playing field. The reason people use third is because of the advantage you can get with it. My biggest gripe with third person is the fact that someone can see you while being completely hidden and there is nothing you can do about it. Name tags are just horrible in general, you can literally scan your crosshair across the screen looking through cities and find something pop up with a name tag. even worse when it marks that location on the map. you can accidentally find vehicles from ridiculous distances. Character location on the map makes the gps and compass almost useless as vital items. Waypoints are overpowered. They need to be disabled if you do not have a compass and gps. Having a GPS should show character location on map (yours only not enemies "seen") I am all for turning the difficulty up on this game far beyond what is currently available. Sure we will have a large amount of people complaining, but that happens when there is any sort of change made. Let them complain all they want they will eventually start enjoying it and learning new strategies or they will quit and the community will be better for it. The people complaining about getting motion sick. Increase your FOV, turn off post processing (motion blur), reduce head bob, and add a little bit of mouse smoothing. Do those may not eliminate motion sickness but it will reduce it greatly and allow your body to adapt and get used to it. If you still get motion sick maybe it's not the game for you to play for extended periods at a time? EDIT: There would be a few welcomed things that could be added to a first person view. I'd like to see the ability to raise your head in order look over objects slightly. We need some more vertical control between prone, crouch, and standing. The ability to move your head up slightly to see over some grass while prone, or over the edge of a building while your on the roof. Of course doing so would make you visible, just not as visible as say going from prone to crouch is. I'd also like to add that it would be like holding alt, it does not move your gun. key bindings I could see to be something like ALT plus shift/control for raise and lower. or whatever key binding you feel like settings, back/forward mouse buttons if your mouse has those.

Server still going strong, come join in the fun! We've added in custom buildings so we now have an upgraded Northeast Airfield as well as a neutral, no shooting/stealing trading post. Between that and the addition of new vehicles we've got things rocking. Averaging over 30 players on at high times, there's plenty to do on The Walking Zed!

I was trying to add the little bird that has 6 seets (MH_6J) to my private hive server, but after searching for why it wouldn't spawn and seeing that there was a ban list for vehicles, I thaught that the list should be customisable via a config file on the server instead of it being a part of the codes

Forest Brothers Recruiting! This is a new clan/group to play in both Chernarus and the other maps :) We will act as a partisan group - minimum direct engagements, small groups for mobility and minimum losses. We will concentrate on hunting down bandits and helping out non-aggressive players that need help. If you like these ideas, don't hesitate and join in :) Just write something about yourself, what skills you posses and how can we contact you (steam, skype etc.). Positions: Marksman - Ideally the main assault force. Scouting, Overwatch and support for others. Two guys in one team, so even if you're not perfectly skilled with a sniper rifle, you can still do the spotting and close combat support if you get attacked :) Transport / Engineering - you will mainly be responsible for driving others to towns, saving their asses and acquiring new vehicles (best if you can fly a helli). Supplies / Medic - doing supply runs, helping out Engineers etc Assault team - Direct engagements with players. Best if you're skilled with close combat guns and assault rifles. This does not mean that you will be confined to your position, anybody will be able to just change up what he's doing, as long as nobody gets pissed off and as long as the skills are there (no point being the engineer if you can't drive properly :D)

Welcome! Please take your time to read for i will explain what we have and we will do on this server! (If you dont want to read and just play, Skip down, Server address is down, and how to filter our server. GENERAL INFORMATION: SERVER NAME: +200 Vehicles / Custom Buildings / Starter Pack - DayZ Celle Bliss (v1.7.4.4/build 99153) [GMT-8] - hosted by sTorM*"; WHAT TO FILTER: sTorM* MAX PLAYERS: 42 Server IP : 78.143.4.41 Port : 2302 LOCATION: Germany Why i think private hive's are amazing. First thing first, We will try to have a security against hackers and other sheningans in our server as best as possible. And also, there will be no server hoppers or any other kind of mischief like this. Private hives are just better in the subject of having a pleasant time playing DayZ, (Unless you get shot in the face by a bandit) but thats not the server nor our fault. I recommend you join as quickly as possible, Grab those vehicle! And Scavenge a world, Free of hackers and server hoppers, A world, filled with "natural" danger! I hope you enjoy our server. And thank you for taking your time out of your life. To read this, and hopefully, Start playing with us! Contact Information: Skype: imacimac28 Take care.

Hey guys I've been on the forums for a while, and this is my first suggestion! Let me know what you think. My idea was: Why not be able to make your own ghillie/camo webbing? Not for the mod though, I was thinking more for the standalone with its crafting system at a later date. FEATURES - Made by finding a cloth, strings/glue(?) and a using a knife or hatchet to cut off parts of a plant. - The camo netting would look different based on what kinds of plants and cloth you used! This would allow you to customise it for any terrain, including the desert or snow (if such environments are added) - Depending on how much bush and cloth you use to make it, the ghillie web could be used for a number of things such as: netting camo over any of your guns (like the svd camo) a standard ghillie suit, or, if it's made to be as large as possible, draping camo over structures or vehicles in your base so choppers are no longer able to spot your base in an instant! If this were to be added, then I think being able to find ghillies and camo guns should be impossible to make it more realistic (these would be gone a week after the apocalypse as everyone has taken them) and then no two ghillies will look the same! My second suggestion is to improve that useless crowbar. FEATURES - The crowbar counts as a tool (like the hatchet) - You can lock cars that you find if you find the keys that only spawn with vehicle at its spawn point) and cannot access cars unless you have keys or a crowbar (but to do so you need to break one side of the windscreen glass) - To start a car if you have broken into it, you need to hotwire it, and for this you need a toolbox - Make the crowbar much rarer I believe this will stop the fact that it's near impossible to have a vehicle without it being stolen when you log off. Nowhere is safe on the map as there are people who search every corner for vehicles. The safest way to get a vehicle is low-pop servers and I don't believe the game should be this way. Let me know what you think of my ideas :) EDIT: Wow Steak and Star liked my post! I thought Star was too busy killing me in game to even check the forums!

Dog Soldiers Presents.... Dog Soldiers - WHITELIST - DayZ Chernarus (v1.7.4.4/build 99153) [Veteran|3DP:ON|CH:ON] [PRIVATE HIVE] Daytime 24/7 | Start with a Gun! | Max Vehicles IP: 198.105.218.156:2392 With being a Private Hive we are able to offer a bit more to our community through a variety of features. One of these key features is that we will be hosting events with specific rules attached to them to discourage anyone from breaking away from the theme. Some themes will be available publicly, as there will be very few rules attached to public themes. However, for more in-depth themes you will need to register on our website (http://dogsoldiers.corplaunch.com) to access the forums that will have the password so you can connect to the locked hive. Private themes for members are created by the Dog Soldiers Admin Team and also by community members too! For awhile we ran this server in a public state, but we just got so sick of all the script kiddies out there that we decided to white list the server. Currently white list sign-up is free, so hurry up and get signed up! Some events that will be ran: Creating trading posts, Non-PVP days, Clan Wars, Monthly Raffles, Roleplay Events, etc. Server Details (and TeamSpeak3 Details): - Max Vehicles - Logs are checked frequently (All hackers will eventually be caught) - Server Resets Every Six Hours - Server Location: Salt Lake City, Utah - 24/7 Daylight - TS3 Address: dogsoldiers.teamspeak3.com:8957 So What's Max Vehicles? Here is the server's vehicle spawn points for the coast alone... Server Rules: - When a theme is active follow the rules and abide by them for that specific theme - Ignorance to breaking a rule is unacceptable, SO BE INFORMED WHAT THE RULES ARE! - Clans are welcome and should register here on the site! - Do not pose as admin or a clan member of any clan that you are not apart of. - No hacking of any kind! - No supporting hacker activities whatsoever! - No accessing hacked items! (this includes medical boxes, self repair vehicles, and items not in the DayZ inventory) - No voice in side chat! Any above rules broken will result in a kick or ban depending on the nature of the offence. Repeated offences will result in ban. Hackers (or those who benefit from hackers, i.e. accessing medical-ammo boxes) will be banned immediately! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!! Check Out Our Website to see what the Latest Running Theme is and to Register for the White List! http://dogsoldiers.corplaunch.com

I would recommend http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/105894-hatchet-reloaded-new-uk-private-hivev174-6-choppers-60-vehicles-custom-content-vehicles-private-teamspeak-server no hackers, and the one time someone was obviously using a map hack got banned, then global banned, along with his friend and we got gear rolled back. admins are awesome, and after all the hives i've been on there's no ''admin arrogance'' or ''admin abuse'' going on, just some guys trying to keep everything fair. cherno/electro is a safe zone, along with a custom medi centre by the lighthouse @ cap golova with guys who are prepared to give you lifts and real ''medi'' attention (they love it haha)

All the people who complain about being solo... thats a choice. I played solo for a bit and got bored, and joined a clan. I still play solo a bit and with particular individuals I trust. Its much more fun that way. So what needs to be changed? Nothing really, except peoples play styles IF they want to group up or not. Can you survive alone? Yes, but its harder to get healed up (more work to get food etc.). Ive spent long periods of time when I palyed solo hunting or gathering just to get healed up all the way. Also playing alone makes vehicles harder to find and get parts for. Since I grouped with friends, I get more vehicles/rides than I ever did solo. So theres already incentive to group up if you want to, but also the option to play alone if you want to. Making the game unbearably hard will force people to have less options and freedom in the game. The end result is that people will kill more IMO. It will just add more "justification" out of desperation to pop that guy and take his gear. The game is sandbox - and it is what you make it. So make some thing of it instead of trying to change the game into something like seeing how long you can live while standing in a burning inferno.

My good sir, this would be your best place: http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/107489-military-survival-rmod-100-vehicles-247-day-custom-clan-bases/

can anyone suggest a good private hive to keep away from the majority of the hackers? id rather not have my game ended by any hackers... much better when its Zed, Bandits, starving etc. im not fussed about which map or vehicles it uses, just something to keep the hackers away as much as possible thanks fellas

Ive had problems with them but they have worked hard to recover lost data, credit me for lost time when my server was down for 8 days, and have been fairly quick in answering tickets. For those bitching about paying for a Fully Managed Server, let me inform you guys that you need to submit a ticket to them to make the desired changes/updates. They fully manage your server when you tell them what you want done, they wont automatically apply updates until told because some people like the older versions. My only real complaint has been their removal of rMod. My server is depedent upon it as we had alot of the banned vehicles and guns that rMod enabled. They took it down when the 1.7.3 update came out, I was told to wait till they updated to Bliss 4.1 that was supposed to be out a week later, yet never came. Now 1.7.4.4 and Bliss 4.2 are out and yet still no option to re-enable rMod and my community is getting a bit antsy. SurvivalServers, please hurry up and enable rMod for those of us who have been patient loyal paying customers as Im not the only one not bitching and still waiting for the rMod to return to my server.

Keep an eye out in the near future. The server will be running events! Come get geared up before the next event. Some events we'll be running soon: -Berenzino Death Match: (Gear up and meet for a shootout in Berenzino, player with the most kills gets their choice of vehicles or gear) -Bandit Convoy: (a few vehicles moving from town to town loaded with gear, destinations and arrivals will be announced in global for people to ambush) -Custom Castle Assault: (Attack a squad defending one of our maps custom castles) -Air Assault: (grab one of the dozen heli's or planes on the map and fight it out in air battles over a designated location) -King Of The Hill: (Fight for control of a hill, at a designated time a fully gear loaded chopper will spawn for whoever controls the hill) All events will be recorded, and will be posted on our forums: http://fadetoblackgaming.enjin.com/home Come hangout with us on our teamspeak server and get geared up!!: gallium.typefrag.com:8690
