Hi, you are welcome to check us out at The BSB Network. We're a social gaming community that is dedicated to fair and fun gaming. We have over 200 players in various Fire teams and groups playing Day Z and using our Teamspeak Server to communicate and coordinate their scavenges and raids. These teams have several bases, vehicles, camps and play across several of our own home servers. The community is mostly adult gamers over the age of 20 (well over in most cases!) but there are no age, time or skill requirements - all we ask is you play fair and have a bit of common sense about you! Our members are based all over the world and are on at all times of the day and night, but all speak English and most are based in the UK and Mainland Europe with some in the US too. We've been gaming as a community since 2002, so we're not some ad-hoc fly by night clan that's been quickly set up and will be gone in the blink of an eye! There is no obligation to join our clan or any of our affiliated clans/groups to take part in our sessions though, everyone is free to urn up and get involved. If you're interested check out or website @ www.bsbnetwork.com and try to hop on our Teamspeak 3 server and say "hi!" 212.187.246.58:9140

Broken down vehicles make the best kind of traps. If im in town and it breaks down I'll usually find a nice ambush spot. Sometimes ill be lucky enough that the poor guy that comes along actually has the parts to fix it.

when i play solo, i leave the vehicle for others, in the middle of the road or near a town with some traffic..i care more about tents than vehicles, and when i find them i search only in a close range to them for parts..

It would be wise having all the maps army supply points on one of those islands, Take all the military gear away from the main island and your talking major game altering effect. The only weapon points on the mainland could be crashed vehicles (Choppers, planes, army convoys) Imagine if you HAD to cross the sea to get anything decent, even a AK or a Glock pistol. This would also localize the PVP areas. Think Utes Island south of Chernarus.

If I am alone I walk and do not use any cars or other vehicles. You are spotted to fast and you make a lot of noise. If I am with my squad we would secure the area and one or two are getting the needed parts to get it running again.

2) You will have problems when you have many players driving vehicles at the same time - especially multiple helicopters can and will cause mass server-wide desync. This is due to limitations in Arma 2. Atomic Gaming used to suffer these issues before I moved over to BMRF. Also many other servers suffer from it as well. Most notably multiple helis in the air seem to cause it the most often if the server is full. Active vehicles in general can cause it. The more active vehicles combined with more loaded objects on the map can cause various sync issues. Again this is a limitation of Arma 2. 3) HFB? Anyway, with the arma and bliss configs, if crosshairs are on you can move your mousehweel over a player and get a name and range printout on screen just saying. Nice server.

Two very good solutions here, I actually thought of number two myself a few days back. Most players wants to have one main home server where they have all their vehicles and camps, so I don't really see any real problems with solution one. Me and my group play on a private hive server, and it is much more fun because you get a real sense of community and remember the names of the other frequent players and clans. The only problem is when the server is full, but it is well worth it to wait those 10 minutes to get that private hive experience! Being able to go to NW barracks and server hop 10 times on low pop servers until you get that coyote and MK48 really needs to be addressed.

Exactly..while variety can spice things up too much freedom ends in things like this...it takes the challenge out of the game. What sense does it make to play a "survival game" if you get everything stuffed up uranus? Vehicles , weapons, food should be rare but with servers the game becomes a farce...

If you open up dayz commander, you will have a few sections you can navigate listed near the top. SERVERS, SEARCH, RECENT, FAVORITES, FRIENDS. The second you double click to enter a server it will be saved in your recent tab which you can then add to the favorites for safe keeping and easy joining. Logging in using recent/favorite will ensure you are always logging into the same server/hive. Logging into the same server is important because tents and vehicles are not interchangeable from server to server even in the same hive. Each server will have it's own set of vehicles that can not be transferred from one server to the next. So if you find a vehicle hide it in some trees you wont be able to find it again unless you are on the same server. If you want to play on the official dayz servers only and not the other hives/maps you in the SERVERS tab, on the left side you will have filters you can apply In the drop down box select "DayZ Only" then check "hide unofficial" Every server that is listed with those filters your character, items, and location will all transfer without any problems.

I leave vehicles where they are and in perfect health, I figure they'll be exciting to engage in the future

Thank you Mikewhiskey, as long as the directions were followed at http://dayz.ddz.net there should be no issue getting you in. We run the server well we think. We have added vehicles, with a good chance of damage and almost no fuel at spawn to make it harder to just hop in and go. Right now we have tweaked the server to have 3 helicopters, but will NOT spawn any more until all are gone. This makes for some interesting warfare lately. And we have added the Bliss add-ons of Wrecks and Care Packages. It is a nice mix of things in our opinion. The sidechat has been turned on since it is not being abused and allows for a friendly comradarie between groups of players. We will welcome you and others that wish for the same.

Bandits/Survivors all welcome!!!

2 of us are looking for a private hive server that basically has normal DayZ settings. Not looking for 100+ vehicles, 20 choppers, no starting with NVG's and food. Just normal settings and one that has admins are every day. No global chat and all that nonsense. We are wanting to play legit and actually rough it a bit and enjoy DayZ for DayZ and not custom settings. Please let us know if your server is this so we can add 2 more to the list. Thanks guys.

You' re not only cheating yourself but also every other player you effect by picking up loot, shooting guns, driving vehicles or whatever. You lost, you should be out of the game or on the beach totin a flashlight! edited:spelling

Hey guys, Well Today I would like to invite you to our server that my friend has hosted. It's pretty much your basic, average Veteran, private-hive server. There are no unfair advantages(ie: You won't be hundreds of cars or RPGs sitting in Cherno/ Spawning w/ a weapon) for players to climb their way to the top of the food chain. The server currently has 30 vehicles approx. and we plan to keep it that way. We like to base things off of a real / RP environment, considering we are based off a GTA IV PC RP Community that has recently closed down for the time being. We want to keep it a fun relaxed environment for anyone who joins... though, it is DayZ, so that's never going to happen and we all know that.

Tis a grand server, if a little short on non-hoarded vehicles. I recommend it whole-heartedly.

vehicle customisation would be kinda intuitive,m scrap metal to armour up your engine bay, doors windows etc, as well as fitting a GPS to the dash also, i agree with what seems to be the current consensus, that vehicles should be everywhere (they wouldn't just vanish after the infection), and not always totally boned (except for helis, which would need parts AND TIME to fix up to being workable, but should need a green engine to run for more than a few minutes, good tyres to go off road. then make fuel teh hard thing to find, after all, the oil rigs won;t be churning the crap out of teh earth wil they? and the fuel depo should be a good spot to look for some (but probably crawling with bandits/hijackers), relying on either group raids to fill up oil tankers (from which jerry cans can be filled) and keep safely tucked inside a cozy base, far away from bandits, where you can sell it onto desperate survivors for their beans/ammo/valuables ("ill fill your hilux for you, good sir, if you give me a can of mountain dew" :D) then make a wide range of civilian vehicles, with realistic gear capacities (proportional to the size of the boot, so a huey won't actually have that much room, but a pickup would have LOADS), and watch the carnage at the fuel depot as for the fuel depot, im thinking of a large walled complex, with one wide entrance for tankers/vehicles at the front, and a couple of smaller ones round the perimiter for hiking survivors to sneak in through to the main loading bay, where you can get access to limited fuel (regenerates slowly, but can hold loads) the fuel in the tank slowly regenerates (probably enough to fuel half of what we want to use), and EVERY time fuel is taken out, its lost from the tank the tankers should be about 3-4 per server, hold an insane amount of fuel in the back (as much as you can find basically), but slow to drive, and would need armouring on teh tanks to protect from sadistic bandits ("that's alot of fuel you have there, now watch it come out of my 50 calibre hole onto the road!") (note a hole at the top of teh tanker should set its maximum fuel level to drain at the top, but a hole at the bottom would drain it empty) also, vehicles everywhere should spawn with a little bit of fuel (except for broken fuel tanks) which can be siphoned off using a jerry can and a hosepipe at the risk of ingesting toxic petrol/diesel (lets just assume that either one will make you VERY ill) or with a hand pump (rare find) and jerry for safer extraction

Zombies zombies zombies. Rocket has said this at some point. There is so much going on in the back round when zombies spawn for you with their ai and such, add to that all the crap going on in servers, vehicles etc and fps take a dive even on high end stuff. The condition of the server can have a lot to do with it too, my fps will plumit to 15-20 in big towns on some servers and others not. [email protected] 6950. The sa zombies will be much more simple I would think hopefully improving frame rates.

There is a Bandit Fortress built north of the NE Airstrip. Fight over it, control it, share it. There is an ammo and gun box there. We have a small group of Soldiers who protect against bandits.

Hey Guys, i just recenly bought a private hive server running chernarus on it. We already got a few players on it but we still could use some help to fill it up. So if you are looking for a change of servers, give it a try :) Name of the server: Zombie Hunter/ DE MY406

Vehicles shouldn't explode.

Server Just Hit 40/40 Again! 2 Days In A Row, Really Appreciate You Guys Choosing To Play On My Server. I'm Glad All The Work My Server Team And I Have Done To Edit Parameters, Adding Vehicles, Air Vehicles, And Other Server Additions Is Being Enjoyed By The Community. Our Hard Work Didn't Go To Waste After All.

Everyone says up North or along the West Side, but that's the first place I look. If your server has multiple Heli's, don't pitch more than two tents in 1k m of each other... keep mid/large size vehicles atleast 500m from the tents. Atleast the person won't find your tents and vehicles in one spot.... I love people that do this.. I will switch the contents between the tents and vehicles to screw with people... ATVs, Motorcycles and Bikes... EASY TO HIDE :) The Bike is the most under rated... No Gas and Auto Fixes if you have a tool box :) ATV/Motorcycles are hard to notice from the air.... plus they fit in alot of buildings.... Don't be afraid to hide tents and small vehicles in towns :) NOW, if someone has the time.... No base is safe.........................

We had a little population bump over the weekend. Server is still vacant at times so we need more players. We have a friendly community and new players are welcome. Plenty of nice vehicles out there to find. http://dayzfunzone.enjin.com/
