Hi, Just got killed again by a hacker. 2nd time in as many days, probably the 10th or more time in total and I am just done with wasting hours of my life to be some kiddie's ragdoll. I stayed on the public main hive because I got attached to my +50,000 humanity hero skin. I worked hard to get it, but I just can't take the cheaters anymore. I am looking for a secure private hive with active admins and as little to no hacking as possible. I am looking for a server that runs plain ol' DayZ. I don't want 24/7 daylight, extra weapons, +500 vehicles or any of that nonsense. 3rd person on, crosshairs or nameplates I could take or leave. I'm not sure what whitelisting is actually, but if it helps keep the clientele in check then I am interested in that as well. I am in GMT-5, so preferably something that has a reasonable ping from the east coast of the States. If this sounds like your private hive server then please let me know. Thanks.

✔ Hacking and such is not condoned in any way. Totally hacker free (as far as we know) for months ✔ Admins abusing powers is a no-go. One admin. He's over 40 years old and owns a gaming centre. Friendly, responsible and active. ✔ Killing players in any way is allowed Not if they are new spawns on the coast. Unarmed and north, yes. Armed and on coast, yes. ✔ No tags ✔ No bullet traces Dayz Commander shows tracers on for a few minutes after restart, but then it goes off. ✔ Private hive Pre-paid for at least another 6 months. X No third person You'll be very limited in your choice of servers if you want first-person only. ✔ No shift click marker on the map You can make a personal marker, but the waypoint system is disabled. ✔ No crosshair ✔ No deathmessages ✔ Chernarus ✔ Whitelist Bonuses: ✔ Server runs the latest v175 community beta (which means you need to download 3 PBO files). ✔ Teamspeak server is provided, and unlike most other servers, most people use it and team up with each other. The rule is: don't shoot the people in your TS channel, but everyone else is a legitimate target. ✔ Usually between 5-25 players - time to gear-up, repair vehicles, pitch tents and raid camps when it's not busy, and plenty of PvP when it is. If you want 40 players on all the time, which usually just results in constant deathmatching, then this server may be too quiet for you. The server is Wireworld EU (based in UK). 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.

If you use DayZ Commander to manage your favourite servers, you can add your friends to a buddy list and then see if they're online and which server they're on. However, once you're all on the same server, you'll need to use teamspeak to co-ordinate and meet-up. The advice I give to new players is to skip the public servers, and get straight onto a private whitelisted server. I can't believe I wasted so may weeks initially playing on the public hive where there is so much 'shooting-on-sight', clan banditry, hacking and mindless deathmatching in Electro/Cherno. The game can offer so much more. If you're in Europe, the Wireworld UK server I play on is great for noobs! We only usually have between 5-25 players on, so you have enough space and time to gear-up, repair vehicles and pitch some tents (and steal stuff from other people) during the quieter times, but you can easily find some PvP action during the busier times. Nearly everyone uses the server's teamspeak, so you can jump into a channel and join up with some players for the evening informally without having to join a clan, or just make a channel for you and your friends, and play against the rest of us. The rule is: don't shoot people in your own TS channel, but everyone else (except new spawns) is a legitimate target. Wireworld runs the very latest community beta patch.

Ive been playing dayz for a while and ive noticed in some servers that the G36c and its vairents spawn in military places along with new vehicles im just wondering if rocket added it in or is it a custom server spawn

I know Rocket has added Crossbows... and on maps it varies on vehicles,guns,ect.

Fuel, not vehicles, should be a rarity. The thrill shouldn't be in hunting around for the car, but the parts and gas needed to run it. While military vehicles should remain rare, and thus a resource people fight over, civilian vehicles should be easy to find. The real challenge needs to be fuel-- players need to reflect on whether or not it's worth taking a vehicle and wasting their precious gas. I'm not sure how this could be implemented. It seems to me as if limiting the quantity of gasoline in fuel tanks, and regenerating them upon the server restart, would only cause players to camp the gas stations. It'd give a distinct advantage to players and groups who play at certain, specific times. An idea occurs to me; perhaps not finding, but acquiring the fuel, should be the difficulty. the rarity of it would spend from the time and effort it takes to actually "extract" it from the fuel tanks. For example: I'd need to find a decent amount of jerry cans to be able to complete a long trip without gassing up. Filling up a car from a jerry can would be easy, but filling up the jerry can would take a long time, encouraging players to make longer fuel stops and hoard as many jerry cans as they can. Finding the jerry cans would also be difficult.

What kind of armaments are we talking about in this group M-16's assorted rifles? What kinda vehicles?

EMITA CITY. This server is part of the HFB Servers which means your gear will transfer over to the other servers connected to this hive.

You should be able to siphon fuel from broken but not destroyed vehicles. You should also be able to steal parts off of vehicles like hull parts, wheels, glass, and gas tanks. Engines would be stretching it too far. I 100% agree that vehicles should be common, and fuel a rarity. There are millions of vehicles in developed countries. It would be no problem finding working ones everywhere.

New private Hive, Chenarus Map, Extra Millitary bases for your high level loot, 200+ vehicles, Lootable Weapon caches, Player bases, 80% daytime, Extra Helos, Extra Boats, Friendly and mature Admins. Come check us out Graves Yard IP:216.176.190.250 Port: 2312

Hi all, I am new to the DayZ in general, but I fell in love with the game so I decided I would try start my own community/clan! I just put up a website, ts and server. Due to the overwhelming number of hackers trying to ruin the game experience for the rest of us, I've chosen to make my server a private hive so that if hackers show up and spawn vehicles or ruin what we have going I can "back-up" the server so no-one loses anything. If you'd like to check out the website it can be found here http://www.outbreakgaming.enjin.com/ Teamspeak info: dallas-ts.nfoservers.com [pw: beanwars2012] Server IP: 50.23.131.224 Port: 3272 Current Name: Private Hive - Outbreak Gaming - Max Vehicles/Active Admins Keep in mind that the website is new and so is the server so it may not look professional as I am still trying to put things together. Come say hello if you're interested in joining! EDIT** Wanted to mention I'm not just one guy with a new server, I have a few friends who play as well so we're a small group of about 6-10 and we hope to increase our ranks!

Server Update December 27th 2012 - Heli Lift Script - Helis can now transport select vehicles around map. - More custom base buildings - 15 Barracks total on map (at airbases) - Medical Vehicles (fully equipped)

I see it on animals, z's, players and vehicles

Hello everyone! As of today, we have added care packages to the server. These are special air drops to aid the survivors in their plight against the undead and against themselves. There are four types of care packages ranging from simple survival supplies that can be found in markets, medical supplies similar to the hospital, industrial supplies as found at factories, and military supplies. They work the same as helo wrecks currently do. There are a number of them that randomly spawn throughout the map of differing types to loot for each server restart. The gear is spread out on the ground like a helo wreck - it won't be found inside the crates. Also, we have custom weapons spawning at our helo wrecks to include some more exotic weapons not normally found in game mixed with normal weapons to increase variety. As a side note we have around 80 vehicles to include the police car among others. Server info is in my signature. Enjoy!

Vehicles are too hard to hide, maybe some Ghillie Suit type camouflage for cars to put over them would help hide them.

Hello mate, i absolutely agree with you on the avatar appearance, my suggestion is to be able to customize your own character with different types and spawning with simple alfits with nothing special but for the looks mainly. About the madmax vehicles i'm just going to mention this is not a gurilla warfare and its not about money its not the pre-apocalyptic times its the actual Apocalyptic times when money and resources are raiding loot and not actual todays currency and more than that my opinion is it may not be practical but when it comes to zombies VS cars it may be really necessary to arm your car as close as possible to a battle tank the Apocalyptic times people may not be rich on resources or anything but they sure won't mind spending metal if they find (Most probably in factorys or other wrecked vehicles) About the preformance problem you could add a feature of speed tune ups and also that the more metal the slower it goes and with the tune ups you get it faster not too fast it would still be kind of slow but what you mention is really important and will help the balancing of the ''over powering'' of vehicles and especially the so called ''mad maxs'' who are supposed to be completely over powered now, its only a couple of suggestions i've got, hope i could help, Thanks for the comment mate, ;) Morris.M

I found it the same too, there are loads of good guides on how to play but my best advice is stop playing Dayz and play ARMAII for a few hours to start with and learn the skills or the core game like shooting, using maps, driving vehicles etc, if you don't and you get into Dayz the first time you find a gun you won't know how to use it correctly and the first time you shoot it you will either get killed by Zombies or another player will track you down and blow your head off, ARMA is quite a hard game to start with, the Dayz mod just makes it even harder. When you return to Dayz sort out a way to view an online map while you play, something like an android tablet or Ipad or dual screens is good. I personally find cowaring and crawling around a waste of time, I just get in there and run like hell, run around the loot spots and see whats there, loose or kill the z's and come back for it, this way you can cover a lot of ground quickly. A bike may be your best friend!

Hi everyone, My name is Brandon, I've been playing for about 5 months now. Maybe 6, idk. Most the time I'll play with a group from people i have met either in game or on this site , Most of the time I'll paly with them for a bit untill they prob stop playing or at least i cant get in contact w/ them. I'm on very often during school breaks such as the upcoming winter break which is now for about 2 weeks, and am on most weekdays and weekends. I mostly play as a bandit but will help people out if I feel it's necessary. (Not very often) I also like to use vehicles to get around. I play on private hive servers to educe hackers, usually paly on one were vehicles spawns are high, have a few that i paly on regulary. (Spelled wrong) We would play on skype as well, I'm 15, but often paly with others 18+ So if you want to join you need to be - 1. Mature - 14+ 2. NEED headset so we can hear you clearly. 3. skype 4. Experience doesn't really matter but should at least try. 5. Be on regularly 6. Speak fluent English If you want to join just fill this out so we can get a general idea of who you are, also this group will paly with others outside of group, if that's ok. My ex: Age: 15 Skype: UnbornAssassin Preferred Role in game: Sniper, driver, assault (Other ex: Medic, spotter) Experience: 5-6 months Preferred name to be called: Brandon Please message me on skype and post here on forums to join. Thx everyone

Hi, I tried searching for a similar idea and couldn't find a thread so i made one. my idea is basic, every time you log on you can open your personal stats window which shows you each individual character you played accompanying various stats such as survival time, zombies killed, survivors murdered, bandits killed, blood donated, wounds mended, distance traveled, vehicles repaired, personal diary, photos taken(could be local screen caps or in game camera used) etc... and similarly an overall stats section: average survival time, kills etc... and totals: total time played, etc... The major point is that you can skim through past experiences or share them with your friends allowing them to look at specific individual characters and overall history if the option is allowed and perhaps upload and attach videos as well to one of your previous characters played.

Résumé Name: Farkinob Age: 17 Location: Midwest United States Sex: Male -_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_- Gameplay Preference: Bandit Details: I love hunting down prey... I'm not one of those campers that sit around on a roof for hours on end stuffing my face with cheetohs. I play the game and if I see a player or vehicle I will seize the oppurtunity Experience: Been playing on and off since middle of August Details: I know the game, how to fix vehicles, administer bloodpacks, hunt and cook animals, when you're sick, etc. Tools Used to assist in gameplay: I frequently alt+tab or shift+tab to get a sneek peak at the map to check out strategic locations. I also frequently set waypoints via ingame map. Prefered Weapons: Hatchet early game, AKM later on Reasoning: Early game I use the hatchet to kill zombies since it's effectively a one-shot kill and can be very effective for sneaking up against unsuspected people. AKM I use later because it's reliable, easy to replace, and easy to find magazines Preferred Method of Communication: Anything with a push-to-talk - hearing echos, coughs, dishes banging in the background is pretty hampering on gameplay when audio is very important. Contact Information: For ease of convienence, steam (listed in signature), PM, or forum post here -_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_- Final Note Also - I am willing to play any DayZ map!! I take things seriously but not too seriously... I don't like playing with clowns who shoot each other just because somebody stole beans out of their bag :). I expect our team to be effective, effecient, mature, and most importantly fun - because at the end of the day DayZ is just a game. I also have a very good eye... Example in Attach files of a dead body with a bandit running around. Remember how to play "Where's Waldo" ;) ? NOTICE I DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES APPROVE OF CHEATING, HACKING, DUPLICATING ITEMS OR EXPLOITING GAME MECHANICS THAT AREN'T BUGGED BY DEFAULT ((( For Instance the bike repair glitch is fine since there's no way around it ))) !!! EVEN IF A HACKER KILLS YOU DOESN'T GIVE YOU THE RIGHT TO RESTART THE SERVER SO YOU CAN GET YOUR ITEMS AND/OR WEAPONS BACK FROM THE SAVED TENT! I DO NOT APPROVE OF ILLEGITIMATE MEANS OF OF OBTAINING WEAPONS/ITEMS AS I VIEW THIS AS RUINING THE FUN OF THE GAME. THANK YOU!

I don't know if you guys are in Europe, or whether you're looking for a private server, but I can recommend Wireworld EU for individual players who are looking for informal groups to play with/against. You join the servers teamspeak, join a channel, gain people's trust, and then start playing with them regularly once they know you. The groups change depending who's online and who you become most friendly with. The number of players ranges from 5 to 25 (although recently there's only been about 15 due to Xmas), so there a quiet periods in which you can gear-up, repair vehicles and steal from camps, and times when there is enough players for some PvP. The server hasn't had hackers on it for months, and the admin is responsible, friendly and proactive. 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.

Better off buying the mod now, seeing as news is null for the SA release if you've got a craving, and time off - get it. Very enjoyable game. General break down of server types below. Public Hive (Public hive, hosted by DayZ MOD) you can join these hives and have your current gear from the last server, to the next. Tents, cars, and rotorcraft don't follow you to the other servers. Public hives are hacker swamped and often you'll get teleported and killed or something... rude along those lines. Private Hive (Privately hosted servers) with active admins are a safer route - check around the forums for servers looking for players. Leaving from one private to another that is not linked, your gear WILL NOT follow you. Private Community Hive (Privately hosted servers, that are linked together) like the public hive if they have several linked together you can go from one to the other and retain your gear on your characters. Again, tents, cars, and rotorcraft will stay on the server you found them on. The term WHITELISTED means in general a list that you must get pre-approved to join and play on that server, its to protect the server from unknown players and hackers (script kiddies) Trust is a bit higher on a whitelisted private hive, but trust no one... going alone is your safest bet. Tips Eating meat / canned food will restore health meat - 800, can of beans - 200 if I remember correctly. 12,000 is your total blood (health). Bloodbags are used on OTHERS to restore entire blood. Risky to ask for a bloodbag from a player you do not know. You can collect wood in the forest with your axe, by right clicking it while its in your inventory - you'll see collect wood. You can place that wood pile down with matches, and light the fire once its placed. You can cook meat, from hunting animals over the fire - which returns more blood then a can food item. Don't roll off buildings, be careful around ladders and even the smallest falls. Stay away from rocks you can get stuck. Don't crawl under vehicles.

Sorry about the restarts guys. Vehicles are now spawning on the map with the new spawn points, Enjoy! There are alot of spawn points with low chance of vehicles spawning, this is intended to encourage players to explore more of the map in search for vehicles. Military grade vehicles will not been found easily, many are in remote locations so get hunting guys :)
