I was playing on this server the last night when it was turned into a hackers playground (despite all sorts of apparent anti hacking measures). They were spawning vehicles, teleporting beside players and shooting them with high powered guns (badly), initiating Gangnam style dancing etc etc(this is the first time I've seen a lot of this kind of thing in ages too). Anyhoo my mate got banned after he got in a heli (probably hacked one) and crashed it. Then me and another mate got on a motorbike but it was not a kind I've seen before (old style) though I'm not even sure what is meant to be in the game and what isn't these days. Anyway I got off to find some things to fix it up and a hacker teleported to him and killed him so I just logged off since the whole server was a mess. I logged in tonight to find I have been admin banned. I really enjoyed playing on this server as it is always full and pretty intense so I would like to appeal my ban. Thanks

OP is comedy gold. Now I want to see someone trying to get a horse to drink water out of a bottle, I'm all for adding horse banter. I've probably said so in a few of the millions of other topics about them. But after a little more thought, if they're ever added, they better not just be automaton "horse-bike" vehicles. A horse is a creature with a mind of its own, but every time I've seen these equine scooters in a game, they just blindly run off cliffs and do stupid, game-ish things. The only well done example I've seen is Red Dead Redemption. With authenticity being soup de jour, I'd expect Rocket to want to bring a lot to the table. I look forward to seeing if the guys can bring dogs to life properly first. Horses are a different kettle of fish. If you try to run your pony off a mountain, it should resist, while shouting whatever is horse for "Pffft. Don't fuckin' think so, buddy." And outwith their vehicluar responsibilities, general animal AI will have to be considered. (for other beasts too) Any half-assed horse addition would make for serious facepalm fuel. And any full attention to detail serious addition would take a lot of time and effort to implement. tl;dr - It's a major task and the DayZ team doesn't do things by half-measures. If horses are added, it won't be any time soon.

name:chris dayz name;purpletalon teamspeakname:purpletalon Age;16 im good at driving vehicles and operating semi automatic weapons i have played for about 4 days i am a decent player [email protected]

Helpful and active admins,went out of their way to make sure i had a good experience. NO shortage of loot, or vehicles. Not too crowded, but server is slowly picking up speed, more people joining everynight. Had a great time and will be making this my home. Go check it out!!!

For example "JAPANZZZ LINGOR ISLAND v1.2.......500 vehicles plus player construction" (182.165.232.124:2302) First fishy thing was an 879k file download as it loads. Then it has a mousewheel option to 'Make Recipes' - which seems to bring up a big list of vehicles and stuff. I remember a post on here from a guy who said when he executed one of these options on a similar server and that he got a global Battleye ban. So, I am asking, are these construction options legit, or will you get a Global Ban for executing one of their custom scripts ?

I believe dayz.st is working on FTP access, but they do give you full DB access and ability to download and edit the mission file so that's pretty wide open. The ability to quickly change perm daylight timezone, private/public, maps, vehicles etc etc etc... I'm only 2 days in on DayZ.st and I'm already thinking about migrating my Gameservers.com one over... I might try another host first before I settle in but DayZ.st is GREAAAAT so far. LOVE IT.

Additional thoughts that came to mind during the day. Looking for a clan, a crew, a team is never a bad idea at all. Set aside some time to learn about one, or form one with friends. As a team you have a better chance of surviving then on your own! IF you feel like it, take the time to journal your adventures on a word document and share em with the rest of us! Its a great way to gain insight into the minds of fellow members. Be wary of the rocket launcher. It does not make a big kaboom and takes away your sack. Best to use it with a Heli or a car. Stop and think for a moment. What will result if you follow this course of action? Is it really worth risking limb and health to take out the man that shot you in a situation where you have everything to loose and nothing to gain. Drunk? Try and see how long you can survive while so. (Note, Z does not encourage you to drink to play this game nor should you ever feel the need to unless you just want to for fun! Please be responsible!) Setting up a base with friends in a remote location can be enjoyable and a great means to stay alive. Suggestions for this include having at night Vehicles, with head lights aimed to crisscross over the beams as a mean to illuminate a large area to make sure it is secure. Follow through with barbed wire, and tank barriers. Throw in a few tents, a fire, and patrols for bandits and other survivors as well as the undead. Be wary when using helis. They can easily loose control if not used properly. NVGs are a rare and few thing to find within the game. If you are able to find one, make sure to use it to its full advantage as you can move more undetected through an area. More to come tonight.

This topic is for those who are in search of active, mature-enough players to play dayz maps. I been adding a lot of random players and still looking for more active ones now. We make a group call in Skype, find a Vilayer server(only servers we play on), we find each other using vehicles/running/helicopters. After we get ready to hop to a more populated server to encounter more people who could be friendly or bandits. From there gentlemen whatever happens, happens. We do not joke around shooting each other, if you do so, you will be looked down upon, and if continued, will be killed and blocked from Skype. We encourage more players who are experienced, so finding each other won't be a hassle when dealing with new comers. Also if you have a really annoying kid voice, i'll will block you from the start. Requirements: 18+ must have Skype all maps downloaded or will be downloaded must live within 1-3 hour time zones from PST if you have any other questions feel free to send me a message on skype my skype username mdmiked

So, I play on an awesome server (US 1011) and me and my crew were flying a huey along the coast, when we ran into another chopper that started engaging us. Once this happened, people started talking about it in side chat. I guess this attracted the attention of ALOT of other people, because soon another chopper showed up. Then another. and another. Finally, a 6th chopper showed up. I couldn't believe my eyes, a 6 way dog fight over Cherno, and the amount of gun shots, and rotor blades.... it was crazy man. It was a true test of my piloting skills to be able to line my gunners up, keep from getting shot, avoid buildings, and not slam into another chopper. I was freaking out, and so was my crew, and the people down below in cherno weren't even fighting each other, or trying to shoot us. It seemed like the entire server had its eyes on the skies of Chernogorsk. My gunners took down 2 choppers, I out maneuvered one, causing him to slam into a building, and then the other chopper was taken out at some point, and finally the last chopper ended up shooting us down. I barely survived, and crawled my way to a hospital to wait for my friends. I just... I was speechless. I hope somebody recorded that shit. Also, before anyone makes any comments about how it sounds easy to get choppers, its not. They have high vehicles spawns and shit, but usually someone has a huey, and its difficult to hang on to them, because a dog fight can break out at any moment. You have to stay sharp no matter what.

A buddy of mine and I are looking for a home server to store our stuff and progress our game in, and generally call home. So far servers that I've been joining have common hackers, or the tents disappear, etc. Are these issues unavoidable, or are there stable enough servers to confidently call home? I'm looking for general tips or discussion on how to search for and choose a home server to house tents, look for vehicles, fortify a base, etc. Please only come with constructive attitudes. There was another topic, but it seemed more concerned with server browsing and favoriting on DayZ Commander. I hope this is original enough for a fresh post.

HELLO!!!!. We are Do or Die Gamers. We have just set up a new server using DayZ.ST which has allowed us to mod the server to make your experience AWESOME!!! we have the ability to use the editor to bring our own custom buildings into the map. What does this mean for you? It means that along with our huge admin base we have set up a bunch of smaller ones that you will be able to safely store your gear and vehicles in without the worrie of someone finding it. In fact it doesn't matter if someone does know where it is because they cant accesses it! Each base we will be setting up will have usable gates which will open and close only form the inside to make sure that you have no unwanted visitors. Eventually we will be adding even more buildings on the map like barracks to make military loot plentiful because im sure a majority of you guys out there enjoy a little pvp=P so why not stop by and give us a try. We have Very active and mostly friendly admins who love to help out, and we are looking to get some new members in our clan. IP: 67.228.177.161:3340

Here's something i did way back in the beginning that i never posted, just found it on my hd whilst looking for nude pictures of Steak some metal tunes. Dayz.. a mod for ArmaII/ Operation Arrowhead that has you as a survivor in the middle of zombie apocalypse. Will you keep your humanity and help other survivors or will you tread the bandit path, slaying all in your way in this open enviroment. 225 square kilometres to explore, find gear you will need for survival,go lone wolf,try and team up, avoid or join up with bandits, and of course, kill Zeds. The story is totally yours to make, where you go and what you do is up to you. Average life expectancy ..28 minutes, how long will you survive the Dayz experience.. I wake up on the beach, my head is pounding, vision blurred..sound comes rushing back ...zzzzzzzzZZZOOOMPH! Woah, that was wack, i can hear the surf mere metres away and see that dawn is just breaking. I stand up and shake myself down, pat the sand of my dirty clothes... my gear! I madly grab my backpack and scuffle through..water bottle, shake shake..full, painkillers, flares, bandages, my trusty Makarov pistol with a couple of full clips and ..beans. I polish my gold rimmed aviators, hey, a guy has to have some sort of style, and while thinking of a course of action for the day my mind wanders back... I remember the first time we heard the news story of the crazy drugged out guy in Florida..naked and eating another mans face, taking a bullet round seemingly unaffected..then another chap cutting himself up in an apartment and throwing his skin and intestines at the local police, peppersprayed, unaffected. The net went crazy about the Zombie Apocalypse. As usual the assailants turned up as internet memes within a few days, twisted humour , but this was the instant cyber world we lived in, everything was fair game. The news contained stories of a new drug derived from LSD, ' Bath Salts' . Making people turn into unthinking wild animals basically. A few more random incidents then it all died down and became just another piece of madness in our daily world. The zombie craze faded. A few months later I found myself on a business trip selling outdated laptops and smartphones to a shonky retail chain in Chernarus , the infamous former Soviet state, when the big news hit. America had been overun overnight by madness, people attacking each other in the streets, major rioting , the civilian populace out of control, fighting the police, the government, each other. I watched footage on the plane flight over and could not believe what i was seeing, people on the streets were literally tearing each other apart ! Whole cities were burning, everything had broken down..overfuckingnight! It looked like all of those crappy zombie movies from the 70's. Madness. We landed at a small strip in Balota, east of Chernogrorsk, by then i had seen that Europe , Africa and Asia was also going through the same hell.What the fuck was going on??!! This was no Bath Salts, this was something far larger and out of control, spreading like a wildfire. I needed to find out more, and desperately quickly it appeared. A small group of people were gathered near the hangars all looking at their phones , a larger lady was crying and holding two children whose eyes were wide with fear. I recognised Ivan' one of the aircraft mechanics and noticed he had a small pistol strapped to his belt. Weird. He waved at me and i I was just starting to head over when i heard the sound of an aircraft in the distance off to my left. Approaching the small airport was a light plane, looked like a Technoavia SM-2000. Despite the crazy news i caught myself watching it come in, i had always been a plane nut and the Tech was an odd looking single engined bird that i had only seen in books. She seemed a bit lively..crabbing in , then diving up and down randomly..all of a sudden its engine cut a few feet above the concrete runway. She bounced hard..once..twice, then, the front wheel collapsing , it plowed along sparking on its nose until it slewed to a stop not more than 20 metres beside me. Damn! An already mad day was getting monumental ! I ran towards the crashed plane..tilted up crazily on its bent prop, fuel and oil leaking from its engine. Just as i got to the wingtip the door swung open bashing violently against the fuselage and this abomination looked at me..what ..the..hell ?! His face was ridden with cuts and what looked like small boils or some sort of pox. The cuts were not fresh though, nothing that had just happened in the crash..weird, and his eyes, man his eyes..they were blackly bloodshot and the pupils were small and beady, an off colour i cant describe. In the brief seconds i was rooted to the ground taking this in i saw the pilot slumped over the controls, his neck had chunks missing, one eye lolled out of his socket and on his cheek...i noticed movement in the rear of the cabin..at least three more of these 'things'. Fuck this! Turning and sprinting in the opposite direction, faster than i ever ran at track, coach would have been proud i thought! Bolting past the small group and the crash team who was just pulling up i did not look back until i heard the screaming, these fucked up things had waded straight into the small crowd, swinging ripping,biting, tearing. I saw Ivan draw his pistol and start firing, he offloaded his magazine into one of them that dropped and then was overcome himself. The thing bit into his face and blood spewed out of his forehead, that was more than enough, i hightailed it across the field and onto the outskirts of the small village of Balota, jumping a random goat that had somehow wandered onto the field. That was three days ago and it felt like a year. I had come to call the things 'Zeds' , short for Zombies, i mean c'mon..what else where they ? They ate people..they looked dead. Zombies. Crazy, but here i was..a character in 28 Days Later, The Walking Dead..Zombieland and not a twinkie in sight. Fucked up sideways mental. I was stuck in the middle of who knows what, i didn't really know what was happening outside of my little bubble of apocalyptica, but it was bad.Real fucking eat a dick bad. I had worked my up the coast and roamed the streets of Chernogorsk for a day, raided a small shop and found the only weapon available, a small russian military issue pistol thrown on the floor casually amongst tinned food and a pile of watches, it had become my 'trusty Mak'. I had watched the Zeds become more and more numerous , chasing people through the streets, eating them as they lay screaming on the ground. Panick was rife and more than once i had seen people who had not been killed by the Zeds, full of bullet holes. It did not take long for some people to turn. That same day i killed my first bunch of Zeds, chased by a bunch of them into a building while i was investigating a pile of tin cans randomly strewn with more tinned food near a house, standing back from the doorway blasting away as they filed in and had heaped them up on top off each other with round after round, emptying magazine after magazine. I didnt worry about conserving ammo, it seemed everyone here had had a Mak, i was constantly finding full mags in every second house or building i walked into too. They say America is gun crazy..after visiting Cherno, i beg to differ. I sat on the top of a block of apartments and ate beans and pasta from cans. I scabbed through hotels, pubs, shops, hospitals. I was slowly getting supplies , bandages, painkillers, tins of food. matches and a bigger backpack to carry it all.. i had no idea how long i would be by myself. Would the military come and take these Zeds out? Was it an infection ? Was everyone on these Bath Salts? I suspected the government, one of their projects gone had gone balls up. They fed us crap all the time, fuel prices, needed wars, low pay rates, bad economy..blah blah blah..now Bath Salts ? Made by a couple of punks looking to make a buck and now the world was fubar? Yeh right. Fuck you politicians, i hope they eat you slowly. After a fitfuls night sleep on top of the apartments i made my way via the forest and hills to Elektrozavodsk, one of the highlights of my former visits , the pubs were seedy and the ladies were generally seedier. As i approached i could see things had taken an even more downward turn, vehicles were burnt out in the streets and for some reason someone had taken a disliking to washing machines as what seemed like all of them were thrown recklessly and randomly outside. Strange people these Russians. Then i saw someone ! He was moving slyly between buildings, a bandana of some sort on his head and large pack on his back. He stayed low and moved into the church ..alert, definitely not a Zed. I nearly flipped! A real live person ! He even had a pair those poofy looking red Oakleys on ! I watched him enter then looked around for Zeds, none i could see so i bolted down the hill through a field, stopped at some buildings to gather my breath, still no zeds. Quickly across the street and into the church, he was down on the floor, kneeling picking up a Mak mag, how surprising. In my excitement i blurted out.. ' Holy crap dude, are you a sight for sore eyes! ' He jumped up, pistol in hand and started blasting away at me, FUCK ! I ducked and ran out the door, shots cracking plaster off the walls all around me ! Trigger happy little fella but he couldn't shoot straight for squat. Must have been his crap choice in sunglasses. The noise attracted the Zeds and i saw two bolting up a street to my right. Damn ! Three more coming from the left, running hard and grunting.Trigger's shooting would bring everything within a block down on me. I pumped my legs into a long gray nondescript three story building and vaulted halfway up a flight of stairs, checked my clip was full and placed three more down beside me, settled my breathing. Half a minute later and i had seven deader than dead Zeds laying on the floor in front of me, i was starting to become a pretty proficient marksman. Five of the Zeds i had just dropped were headshots. Shooting like a boss as we used to say when playing crappy fps games. I loaded a fresh clip , waited for my heart to stop racing, made sure Trigger was not coming in and then headed up the stairs. Checking five trashed rooms i added four more Mak clips to my backpack and a can of sardines, sweet, they would taste like a five star meal later. The last room i looked in had an axe on the floor..shiny and new. I had given up wondering why i continued to find weird shit laying around, i simply jammed the small Mak into my pocket and hefted the axe..good weight, and the wood smelt nice, reminded me of my pops place in the mountains where we used to spend weekends fishing and cooking fat trout on an open fire. I used to pretend it was just me and pop, the bush and the wildlife. nobody else in the world , now it seemed nearly true. I could see myself causing some serious carnage with this axe and not having to worry about alerting the whole neighbourhood while i hacked away silently. It seemed i already had the mindset of that freaky Michael Myers fucko from the Halloween series..fuk yeh, come at me bro. From the top floor i surveyed the Church , five minutes went past and i never saw Trigger, he was either laying low inside, being dined on or had already left while i was plugging Zeds. I exited on the opposite side i had come in and worked my way up past a bunch of houses stopping at the corner of one and looked across into a field. Before me was what looked like a power station about 100 metres away, a large hill behind it, looked like a perfect place to overwatch the town. Something moved close by.. what do you know, there was Trigger, cautiously crouching along with his back to me, not five metres away he exited a small grove of bushes. I made a snap decision and started stalking him..4 metres..3.....2.....now! I axed him a question, directly into the base of his neck. Down went Trigger with a small grunt and a large amount of spurting blood. I hefted the axe once more and split the back of his head wide open. Before i even knew what i was doing i was pulling the axe out of his flesh and bone and rifling through his small backpack..compass, a crumpled map and some more beans. I stripped him of his watch and also scored a knife he had hitched to a small toolbelt, sweet. I then dragged his body under a tree out of view. I stood up and nearly keeled over as my vision darkened, my heart was pumping like a locomotive, i could feel it busting against my ribcage, hands shaking so badly that i had to grip the axe until my knuckles were white for fear of dropping it, blood was all over me, still warm and mixing with the sweat that was draining out of me. I was a killer. Every detail in the woodgrain handle of the axe stood out as i looked down at my hands, every hair on my arms seemed as if under a microscope and i could see how badly i had been chewing my nails unthinkingly during the day. I had killed. Staring at my victim i thought it was strange how things look when they have no life, you can see the finality, as if they never where. I felt as much remorse in that moment as i ever had in my life. Like the first time i shot a small bird, winging it with a small calibre rifle and then having to chase it for nearly two miles as it hopelessly flitted from tree to tree getting lower and slower, life draining out of it but needing to stay alive. Finally hitting it again and then sitting down by myself with this small animal needlessly shot. The excitement of shooting a gun gone, the weapon feeling like lead in my hands, knowing i would never kill again. I knew what i had just done was different, and that i would do it again if need be, it could be me laying under the tree..and i wasn't ready to punch out just yet. Looking around from under the cover of the low branching tree i could Zeds dragging themselves along the ground, not appearing to see me, it was like the highschool prom all over again, the zeds were the hotchicks and i was the guy shuffling quietly in the corner invisible. I moved low and slowly past them. At a distance of about seven or so metres they seemed nearly blind if you were quiet and not moving fast. I worked my way up into the treeline a small distance from Elektro, the Zeds did not seem to like the wooded areas, congregating instead close to man made structures. Maybe they still had some sort of instinctual humanity left, nobody liked the woods when alone and especially not in the dark, possibly even the Zeds. I on the other hand loved it and felt at home when surrounded by the forest and the inky blackness, maybe it could offer a safe haven. From what i did know of the region i was in there was a major airfield further North but i did not have the provisions to make a journey that far, yet. I wanted to head up there eventually , try for a working set of wheels first, and hopefully get my hands on some better weaponry, there was an airforce prescence at the airport so there had to be some serious deathware tucked away. For the moment though i would head along the coast, have a look around and see if i could get any more goodies for my trip. I would also like to make contact with some people and form a group, watch each others backs and fight the Zeds instead of each other, every passing minute in this new world tells me to stay alone and observe, but would i go mad by myself ? Should I just stay a loner ? at least i know where the Zeds stand, people are another matter. For now i head down to a pond, fill my water bottle, head across a small heavily forested hill and make my way to the beach near a lighthouse that splits the two towns, i decide against spending the night in the concrete walls of the tall structure, it seems a far too obvious place. On the edge of the beach under a thick grove of bushes i dig down in the sand so i can sit with just my head in view, thick grass pulled out to conceal my body. I eat my cold sardines and start drifting off as the sun disappears ...wondering what the next few dayz will bring.

I was at NWAF just now when I saw a pristine UH-H1 heli. Of course, I was very skeptical that there was a pristine heli just just sitting there. I decided to find a nice sniping spot and see if anyone came for it. After about 5 minutes I saw some guy looting the hangars. He slowly made his way to me and the heli and climbed into it as I was repositioning. Due to the angle of me to the heli I couldn't see the pilots window so I started firing at the rotary assembly with my M107. I must have landed about 5 hits to the rotery assembly but the blades continued to spin faster and faster until he eventually took air. He flew right over my head and back towards Stary sobor at a great speed. I started pumping round at the heli but due to the great zoom level of the scope and the speed he was moving it was very hard to hit him. With my last bullet I took the shot and saw a spurt of blood come out of the window. He started to come back on himself and head back in my direction. He then started to spin out and eventually went into a nose dive and crashed with a great explosion. I was quite bummed out that it had to go down like that and that I didn't get the heli but it was incredibly cool to watch. So, yeah, how do I effectively disable vehicles with Anti-material rifles?

1. More melee weapons. 2. Slower zombies that are slightly harder to kill and don't sprint in zig-zags. 3. Customizable weapons and attachments. Zig-zag sprinting zombies are so annoying amd the two melee weapons in the game suck. Customizable weapons and attachments would just be awesome. (Edit) If I could have a fourth choice, it would be for there to be more vehicles in the game. I mean, come on, not all of the vehicles would have been blown up or burned. As far as I know, it wasn't a nuclear blast that started the zombie apocalypse, so why would most of the vehicles be burnt out husks?

Thought it would be interesting if throughout the map there were broken down emergency vehicles with light bars and sirens. It could be used in a number of ways a survivor running through the city at night who becomes overwhelmed by zeds can hop into the vehicle and activate the light bar attracting all the zeds to it like a smoke grenade and evade out undetected. In addition it could also be used as a luring system for those who enjoy the hunt. Activate the light bar and siren take off and wait for someone to investigate. Overtime players would adapt to it and know it could be a trap but could be a fun addition for a few weeks or more.

Agreed adding loot tables to these emergency vehicles would be amazing aswell you wouldn't be pinned by needing to run to the hospital if you found a broken down ambulance out on the road somewhere.

Hi all, Been around on DayZ for a while and a few of us decided to get Private server up and running for anyone interested. Special vehicles available, C130, Ospreys and others around the map, currently Panthera (changing to Lingor soon) Search for DHQLAX in DayZ Commander or check the for IP: 159.253.143.49:3272 We have also just introduced a TeamSpeak server for friends to communicate on. We run BattleEye and Gotcha Anithack with admin online most of the time. All welcome, any queries please don't hesitate to ask:) Stephen DHQLAX.COM

I'd like to try it out? What exactly do booby trapped vehicles do?

Okay, if you wanted to know, when it comes to vehicles... If you fire the AS50 at the following described places, it will destroy the vehicle [cause it to explode] with a single bullet. URAL: Aim for the front of it. UAZ: Just above the front wheels. Offroad: Just above the front wheels wheel, in fact possibly the front--similar to the URAL. ATV: Pretty much the middle, you'll know it when you see it. BUS: At the back. Motorcycle: In the middle, I suppose. Bicycle: No fueltank on this one, lol. You cannot make the bicycle explode, not even with a satchel charge. [i've tried it.] V3S: Same as the URAL. Helicopter: I believe that's been stated by the above comments [although you cannot make it explode with a firearm, not even the AS50--it needs to crash in order to blow up]. I believe that is all of the regular spawning vehicles...correct me if I'm wrong.

If anything is an obvious source of fuel, its probably been sucked dry. Though I mentioned on another thread being able to siphon gas from vehicles and fuel sumps would be nice.

Simple stop caring about your gear and vehicles that's a good way to be disappointed. Truth be told I've always had more fun building up then running around with a full loadout.

I think it would be cool if Green Mountain, the ATC towers and some other structures or vehicles had fixed radios players could use to broadcast messages or communicate with each other or any player with a portable radio. Sort of acting the way Side Channel works. But in general, I like the idea of little easter eggs and whatnot hidden in various places around the map.

I don't know what you're talking about, I've kept several tents in one location for over a month of active use, and I went back to those tents yesterday and they still had everything in them, and they haven't been used for another month. In addition, I had several land vehicles and helicopters. We (my group and I) were regularly flying those helis in and out of the camp, and it wasn't found. So I don't know why you're complaining, you must have bad spots.
