I joined the server and it seems pretty nice. I fixed up an atv and I found a gaz along the way. Got a pretty nice setup going on here. Join quick before all of the vehicles are gone!

I use a fine thing called DayZ Commander. I am sure there is a better third-party server list around her somewhere, but this is what I prefer. In it, a magical called filters allow me to choose what map, server population, and even server settings I wish to have. I also tend to read the names of servers to be sure whether or not it has a sudden influx of vehicles. Quite a fine invention, it is...

Found this server today! active admins! and backup/recovery in case of hacks.. nice bunch of guys! http://www.gametracker.com/server_info/173.193.48.140:2392/ Name:1/9 WDU SERVER (1.7.3/98866) [GMT+3] CH:on | 100 VEHICLES | 24/H DAYLIGHT | SPAWN WITH MAKAROV | ADM Game: DayZ Browse:DayZ Servers Address: 173.193.48.140 Port: 2392 Status: Alive

This log is called when a player inserts their backpack into a vehicle. Most players in this log are legitimate players moving their backpacks into vehicles. If you want to know how to catch hackers with this log, just PM me and I'll tell you.

Update on servers: Chernarus is running well, currently has: - A customised map to make some towns more useful + extra military camps etc (Still a work in progress so expect more)\ - A group of players who have found a heli offering a medical evac service - Extra vehicles with many new spawn points - Up to date script protection + very active admin scouring the logs - Regular restarts every 6 hours - Timezone is GMT + 4 (for aussies gets dark around 11:30pm EST) - Occasional events e.g. the bike race tour de chernarus - Working on other features e.g. exporting your total life stats to a static webpage Panthera Server: - Day 24/7 - Custom loadout coming soon so you can hit the ground fighting - Vehicle count to be increased - Up to date script restriction - 6 hourly restarts Namalsk Server: - Still to come We will be trialing a whitelist RMOD server soon too, so if anyone is keen to get on that you can either PM us or ask on the forums. More details to come on that. All have an active community on our forums at ausdayz.com Server IPs are in my sig below.

I wonder if this means the vehicles and tents themselves only, or what they contain also...

How do i... 1...set up the server that spawns people with different items then the usual items? 2... increase the amount of vehicles on the map? 3... set up so that cars spawn fully repaired on spawn points(or is that just part of 2)? 4... make it full moons every night? 5...modify the map (adding buildings)? If anyone could answer any of these questions that would great and thanks.

Server Features: Extended Daylight: 18 hours of light and 6 hours of darkness for those who like to loot and battle with NVG's etc. Completely Fresh Server (perfect for groups looking to establish camps) 50 Vehicles Including Black SUV and Land Rover (with scripts that clean up out of bounds and destroyed vehicles on restart) Players Spawn with a Makarov Advanced Hack Detection Software Active Admins who care about providing a fun, fair experience for all players. Admins can roll back the server in case of a hack. Established player base backed by a large, active clan Private Hive To find the server search "1/9 WDU" in Day Z Commander, or use the IP 173.193.48.140:2392 The Server Rules are simple. Play fair and Have fun. Any Hacking, Cheating, Duping etc. will result in a permanent ban. The 1/9 WDU server is the home base of the 1st Battalion, 9th Marine Regiment "The Walking Dead" USMC http://www.19wdu.com MilSim Clan. We are a 20+ member unit who is friendly to survivors and hostile to bandits (though we welcome a good challenge). On the server we regularly run "Operation Cherno Greenzone" exercises. During these events, The 1/9 WDU Clan enforces a bandit free zone in Cherno through force of arms and military tactics. WE DO NOT USE SCRIPTS OR ADMIN POWERS TO ACCOMPLISH THIS. These exercises provide a unique and fun experience for survivors and for bandits who try to crack our defenses. We would especially like to invite survivor and bandit groups (large and small) who are looking for a reliable server to establish a home base on. Our clan enjoys helping survivors and the challenge organized bandits bring. We'll see you in Chernarus!

An additional email I received today: This is a mass mail aimed at our clients who have purchased our ARMA DayZ Package Game Service. As you will all be aware over the past few days when attempting to play on a Vilayer Private Hive server you wont have been able to connect. Also recently our main coder and CEO (Lee) has been in the hospital and just underwent surgery. This has caused a delay in investigating the issues we are currently experiencing. You will have also experienced a delay in our support staff responding to your tickets, this was due to the high influx of tickets that came to us due to this issue. The issue itself was due to a breach of our hive database. The vilayer hive is based on open source code provided by a 3rd party and by no fault of our own this code was exploited, not just with our hosted services but with several other DayZ providers who use the same base code. Now what does this mean for you? Well, every DayZ Package server is going to be reset due to the data being un-recoverable. ALL hive data apart from tents and vehicles is going to be reset. We do regret that this happened and we do apologise but as mentioned above it was out of our control and we couldn't have stopped such an attack. We will now be working on resetting the hive to a state allowing you to connect with fresh reset servers, after this we will be working on securing the hive to prevent this from happening again in future. There are those of you who will be wondering how you will be compensated due to this issue. To create a sense of order in the way we deal with good will, we require you to create a support ticket once your service has been restored. We will then work on a first come first serve basis on serving good will allowances. There is no need to create more than one ticket regarding an issue or good will request, we will deal with every ticket in the order they come to us. If you create multiple tickets it only slows us down providing support to other clients DO NOT REPLY TO THIS EMAIL, IT HAS BEEN SENT FROM AN UNMONITORED MAILBOX THIS EMAIL MAY BE SENT REPEATEDLY TO REITERATE THE INFORMATION Kind Regards Brad Gyton (General Manager) Vilayer Ltd http://www.vilayer.com

Hello world! a new server has poped up! its cryo team! its a chenarus map. to join search cryo team, 70 vehicles, active admins,and very fun!

I've also played a good survivor but as someone else stated in another thread: "A survivor is a bandit who doesn't know it yet." I'm also pretty tired of getting KOS'd and trying to help others and getting bullets in return. What I like to do now is find clan based servers and attack their bases instead of sniping people on the coast. I like to actually be a "bandit" and fight for vehicles and tents full of military gear over a tin of beans I really don't need.

Water fills up instantly at the pumps, doing what you are doing, but in a lake, there is an inexplicable lag. And that lag varies by server. Go in the lake (not the ocean - that doesn't work anymore), up to your waist. No deeper, no shallower. Do the inventory right-click-water-bottle thing. He will eventually bend over and fill, and eventually you will hear the glug glug sound. Some servers are nice and snappy with this animation/interaction, some take about 10 seconds where you aren't sure if you are even in deep enough. Practice will get you there. Mic: I forget what the default key is. Check that in keyboard settings. Regardless, you want to make sure you are on the correct voice channel first. The one you almost always want to be on is Direct. Never General unless you are trying to talk to people on the player-list pre-load screen. Vehicles: i think there are certain places that do more damage. I am told that a 50 cal shot to the engine will certainly disable it in one shot, but I don't know if that means it fully kills the "ENGINE" parameter or just shanghei's the whole vehicle.

My first kill was the other day. Been playing for a little over a month, no player kills. Plenty of shot on site deaths. I am a generous player usually giving up a secondary or primary weapon if someone is gear less. I hooked up with this clan who had a decent base with lots of tents and vehicles. Been lots of internal strife and one left the group, pretty sure he notified others of the base. Like an idiot I log off in the middle of a circle of tents. I log in with a "you are dead". I am like how the hell did that happen. Luckily for me I see the you have been killed and by who. I relog in and to my surprise the fool combat logged. I expected a lengthy coast run but I spawned where I died with all my gear. My dead player was on the ground next to me. I check the stats and see the name of the guy who killed me and a -1 penalty for logging out like a bitch. There was a bike next to me so I must have logged in right as he was looting. Of course he is going to come back, they always do. I move to cover over by the vehicles and wait about 5 minutes. He relogs under the name "player1". I see his head pop up and open fire. He falls down but not dead. He also has the high ground. I come up to finish him off and he gets me once with a shotgun, im bleeding and have a broken leg. He dies but I cant loot him, weird! I was able to loot my dead body so I have to coyote packs and two stanag sd's. the way I hooked up with the clan was pretty weird also. They were active on side chat and had a heli. I ask for a lift and they set the trap and invite me in. When I am in sight one of them shoots me claiming I was aiming at them. I later get in there team speak and they ask who I was. I tell them and one says "awkward". We laugh it off and all is good. Later that night they loose the heli and the server resets. I happen to be at the nwaf and find damn near all the vehicles there. Sometimes I kind of like hackers. I let one of the clan guys know, he's the only one on. I pick him up and bring him to the nwaf. The rest is history, been chumming around with them ever since. I dont get attached to my gear because the hunt for the gear is the best part for me.

we've been toying with vehicle counts and spawn locations as well as slowly adding new vehicles to the spawn list. so, if you play here, let us know what you think! we're also looking at creating some custom loadouts as a reward for people who have donated. we've been pleasantly surprised by the number of donations we've received so far and we're hoping to be able to give something back to those in the dayz community who have helped our servers and community grow and remain strong.

I agree that its much more likely, to be sure. I have been hacked, twice I think, over the course of many many hours of gameplay. Both times I had top-level gear, and I look at it as sort of a blessing; keeping the game fresh for me and causing me to re-equip again. Game gets a little boring when you're lonewolfing, have 3 tents full of gear and 2 vehicles all to yourself.

I wonder if this means only saved tents/vehicles

Yeah that's the one. No worries, you've been dramatically faster than my experience with my former hosting company. I'd just like to see the server working 100% right one way or another. Like I said in the last e-mail, it's okay to reset the map spawns to the map default if necessary. Are the backups just straight sql files? It really does seem like some weird string replace script was run on them to mix up the vehicle classes since everything is in the right spot with the right inventory, just the wrong vehicles. If I was a malicious sort of coder looking to cause headaches, that would be an easy thing to pull with full access to sql files. Edit: Problem is fixed! Thank you for being awesome!

The Cure is already in the game. Actually there's a few... - Bullet - Axe - Crossbow bolt - Vehicles

another new idea i just had though it has probably been said before is tracking Tracking: everyone im sure has noticed the tracks of you car when driving in game and how they disappear in a few seconds, the same goes for footsteps and grass when you've been crawling. these things i believe should last for 1-2 min so that players could effectively "hunt" one another. another thing to add to this is a blood trail so an injured player will leave a trail of blood that can be found by another player, the the frequency of finding blood could be determined by how fast the injured is bleeding, and of course the trail would stop if the player bandaged. another map: a map similar to the size of Chenaus, but has a more diverce ecosystem and climate, such as a swampish area, a simi-tropical area (think Lingor), and in the north a snowy region (think Namalsk), also have an extreemly hard to reach area that is say over very steep very tall mountains which you cant fly or drive over (Due to the freezing temps the vehicles freeze up or something) and over the mountains have the best loot spawns we've ever seen. also in order to have a cold weather area of course cold weather gear, including winter camo that is usless in the other regions as normal camo would be in the north

BMRF 4. It's a whitelist server though. Also has like 3 other chernarus servers. Also something like Drunk gaming can't remember the exact name. They added a city, and I found a total of 6 vehicles within 2 hours.

Whats a good one with side chat and plenty of vehicles?

I believe Rocket originally intended to lock everything, save for the simple regular/veteran/expert settings, but eventually opened it up because the market wanted it (and because server admins were able to fight hackers better individually than collectively). I still don't see why anyone would want everything locked to Rocket's specifications though. Why not just ask him his ideal settings then start your own server using those settings instead of requiring every single server to be the exact same? What's so wrong about giving the players the options they want so they can have different experiences on different servers? Want to play in the daytime? There's a server for that. Want to play with 200+ vehicles and a half dozen choppers? There's a server for that. Want to play Chernarus as it was originally intended? There are servers for that too. Again, allowing the server admins, who pay for the servers themselves, to pick and choose some of the options they want is just meeting the demands of the market and has largely contributed to the continuing success of the mod. If you go through the forums everyday you'll see multiple people coming back to DayZ after a long hiatus and praising all the new options. If we were still stuck with nothing but Chernarus in its original form they would all just leave again. And I wasn't trying to be dramatic with "forcing". All I'm saying is we have an open system now. If you close it because a small minority thinks everyone should play the exact same settings you are going to create a firestorm. As for the darnkess, if it's cloudy changing gamma/brightness settings no longer helps after they patched it sometime in the 1.7.2.x releases. And I've been in pitch black woods (I'm from the Southeast US) plenty enough to know that I can see at least the faint outlines of trees and other objects a few feet in front of me. If it's cloudy and dark in DayZ I can be stuck running into a tree for 10 minutes and have no idea.

DayZ Unleashed allows you to play DayZ how it is meant to be played without being interuppted every 5 minutes by some script kiddy getting a kick out of being an ass. Whitelist Applications If you wish to apply to our server for whitelisting then what you need to do is provide us with the following information: DayZ Name: Location: Battleye GUID: Once you have this information then you can reply to this topic and we will look into your application. If you are unsure what your Battleye GUID is then what you need to do is join any Battleye enabled server and then type #beclient guid into the chatbox, it will then send you a message saying "Your Battleye GUID: abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz123456" take note of this and use it to apply to our server. If you have applications for friends, clan/team mates then you may post them all at the same time. Alternatively you can apply to our whitelist via http://dayz.frak.eu/whitelist/, we aim to accept all applications within a 24 hour period of the application being receieved. We have put a lot of effort into making sure that you always have the best experience that you can whilst playing on DayZ Unleashed and we are constantly improving things when we can. We listen to our community and give them a voice, even if they are only just a few days old in the community. Any changes that we make to the server are always put to a vote on our forums ensuring that we change things only if the player base is happy with the changes going through.

What's with the stuff in the vehicles? Burned to crisps...
