This is the first community + development team generated update for the DayZ mod. It is the culmination of a huge amount of work by both the community and the development team. The half-done 1.7.3 patch was made available to the community, who included many of their own fixes and updates. While dogs are "in" there are some mechanics missing so they cannot currently be used. Both myself and Matt spent a significant amount of time playing this today, and it was a lot of fun. Credits A small summary of those involved in actual development of the patch are as follows (visit https://github.com/R...n/Developers.md for the latest list). Many others helped with testing and such. Please get involved with the community development project! There is much being done, new features and content. Official support is also being made available to community development team members for some requests, where possible.

Woooow!!! I'm really frustrated right now... After playing for 3-4 hours yesterday starting at Devil's Castle and running to Stary Novor,where i found a bus in very good condition (only needed to refuel it) and a lot of nice stuff in it, like a FAL and BIZON SD while at the same time gearing M4A1 CCO and M16 203 ...it also had a tent which was the only thing left i really needed to set up a hideout, so i thought perfect and went north with it. I hid the bus and logged out (was going to bed) The weird thing is that i actually logged out before in Stary Novor and logged back to see if it would save the progress and it did. I repeated this procedure at the location i hid the bus and it also saved my progress when i logged back in (to check it out) Today i log in --> BAMMMM back at Devil's Castle again (with the gear i had when i started my trip from there)!!! At this point it think it's maybe because of my Ghillie suit, but it also happened to me without it. This was not the first time all my progress was lost. And i really don't see a point playing this game anymore...playing for hours just to be f*** over again and again. And no i don't play on private hives, only German servers in my favourite list. And NO i didn't change the server since yesterday, i stuck to the same server. I thought these issues have been resolved with the latest patches (1.7.3) and i'm using dayZ commander and keep everything updated. I started playing 1 month ago and was really enthusiastic about this game, but all those various bugs killed the fun for me. I'll probably get the standalone but i'm done with this crappy alpha mod which constantly screws you over. >:( NEVER in my life have i played such a buggy mess resembling a "game" A lot of people are excited about the upcoming patch 1.7.4. which will bring in dogs and so on...i mean it's nice they're putting in more vehicles, but dogs? So they can track animals so what? WHY DON'T THEY WORK ON FIXING THOSE BUGS FIRST?????????????!!!!! before putting new elements which will generate even more bugs. I wouldn't be surprised if the dogs randomly bite you in the ass and kill you or push you down stairs or whatever... DayZ is dead for me.I'm done. (until the standalone :rolleyes: )

Does anybody know if they plan to re-design the explosions at all? I've always found the way vehicles and ordanance explode in vanilla ArmA2 to be very unsatisfying, and I'm not really sure how much work has been put into this Real Virtuality 2.5 engine they plan to use for the SA..

Another One asking for more military loot... A suggestion above top add variaty ti loot Spots is great, Luke different types of vehicles. Why is there never a food truck. I would rather expect food convoys into disaster zones than weapon convoys just as an example.

A post recently brought up the idea of not only choppers, but Military convoys and such. Problem with chopper crash sites is if they crash on uneven land you can't reach the loot sometimes, so they will have to spawn on flat land. The tent duping issue caused mass amounts of rare equipment, allowing all players who stumbled across the tents automatically kitted out through the server life. This alone broke the game. Another problem is when people loot the choppers they usually have overwatch or fellow team members looking out, not suitable for lone wolves. Teams will always find the choppers first as they know where to look with the current spawn locations. Making them random means more out of normal places and having to ensure they spawn correctly. Once a team has a base of operations they just pile up loot and vehicles and then repeat the routine. Not very equal footing. I say less choppers and more other loot points

agreed, problems are far more at the moment the inventory (one big problem to be honest), female skins not working, random spawn dieing and respawning in debug, MAJOR performance issues, parachuting kills you, weapons are highly unbalanced regarding the AS50 and L85, night vision is unrealistically powerfull (range, rain), zombie AI paths, getting stuck, immune to bullets due to some animations, and far more regarding zombies, duping is still possibe (not telling how though), vehicles still repair themselves when nobody sits in them and they are all green, farming loot spots with loot piling is FAR to powerfull and fast, crawling at some spots breaks legs etc. etc. many of them are problems regarding the engine, and yes, i still play and they are to most things avoidable, still they are problems and i have high hopes for the standalone i think rocket will be able to make the game playable without constantly thinking about possible bugs

Server - DayZ Namalsk - Hell on wheels (200+ vehicles my backside) IP: 208.115.201.154:2362 Time: 9:10pm GMT Admins reason for ban: "Rent an RSY server!" (banning clans from off his server). So our clan was running round on this server, we had a Ural and were clearing out the old hospital of players while loading up the Ural with food and medical supplies. Next thing we know everyone with the RSY clan tag is kicked from the game. We log back in to protest these kicks when we all get slapped with a ban with the ban message "RENT AN RSY SERVER!". Admin must have been seriously intimidated and butt hurt to know that there were people who were willing to work together to survive. Probably wants his server to be played CoD death match style. And yes I am able to appeal against this ban on the DayZ forums. The Vilayer hive is still a public hive and is still connected to the DayZ intellectual property thus this sort of behaviour is still against the server hosting rules. This server needs a good old blacklist slapped on it.

Im the admin for this server. Seems the battleeye scripts I updated seems to be kicking for odd things - things like vehicles blowing up (I just watched a player get kicked after he was shot out of a heli) and seems placing fireplaces is doing it as well. I might revert to older filters in the meantime and see if I can fix it for you.

ant to give people a heads up on a private namalsk server i run. Custom loadouts, weapons at spawn,max vehicles, nightvision on spawn. Look for Namalsk server hosted by walkerr. Hope to see you in my crosshairs.

Hi want to give every bandit a heads up on a Private Namalsk server i run. Start out with nightvision, a hatchet, couple bandaids, 1 food and one drink. Its a 40 man server. You can not see people on the map. It has max vehicles. It has scrolling messages on who killed who with what weapon. So with that said look up Namalsk server (private) Max vehicles,custom loadouts,weapons at spawn,hosted by walkerr and you will find it. Hope to see some more bandits on the server :) -Walkerr

Hey guys, I enjoy playing on your server and have a couple of questions. 1) How often do the server restart? . 2) I had an issue with an ATV. I was driving it very slowly and bumped a tree. It caught fire and blew up and killed me. Now these things happen and are not that big a deal. I respawned and made my way back to the area. Found my body and looted it. When I checked on the ATV it gave me the option to fix everything so I repaired it and it's sitting there but I can't access it at all other than to either load it or save it. I can't get on it or add or remove any gear on it. Now I don't usually mess around with vehicles so I don't know if this is normal or not. So that is the question, is this normal or not. If it is normal, will it be usable after a server restart or will it go back to it's default spawn point? Thanks for the server. The first time one of those zombies let out with that howl I was like "what the hell was that." lol

Do something with the destroyed Humvees put maybe a M-4, AK-47, Grenades, MREs, and some other weapons. In my opinion I think the vehicles were destroyed by bandits, or a rouge military faction trying to fend for them selves.

Namalsk Private Hive, Mature admins, Mature Players, 70+ vehicles, 3 Helo's, Bonus starting gear (Includes NVG's! and M4A1SD) 3RD person on, Crosshairs off Come join us on our Seattle based server. IP: 74.121.191.66 PORT: 2312

This just happened about 15 mins ago, we were driving our UAZ down the road by Kamenka, and killed a player. After that he talked to us and we joked around, he said that his friends weren't so friendly and they were coming for us. So we set up an ambush in the trees, and they came past in a Ural, they than drove past, to the edge of the map, and on the way back we shot at them, they drove their Ural up the hill and we shot one of them out of the truck, the other two got out and shot at us, i was unconscious and nearly dead, but my mates killed the other two. We were amazed to find that they had massive military loot, an m24, an L85 ACOG eg eg. This didn't worry us, the server had different guns spawn. So we took this amazing loot and started to drive back to our camp. just out of Kamenka, we all suddenly got kicked off saying "You have been banned for hacking/cheating". While we are angry at this, we just want to ask why we were actually banned, We love the server, vehicles are amazingly common and there was special weapons not normally on DayZ. All we want to know is why we were banned and if we can have another chance. Our names are "Longbow", "Smokedestroyer" and "just stay juicy"

Two, actually. IL002 It's a good rMod server with a good amount of vehicles. and US 1979 . It isn't rMod and it has a good amount of vehicles, along with custom weapons.

Ok, thanks for the tip, i loved the sheer amount of vehicles on it, any private hive you would recommend?

Oh. They got rid of Rmod... HAHA! Look, that server is terrible, admins spawn things for each other and server members they like. They once had a camp set up with a little bird and 3 groups of 6 NPCs to watch over it, after me and three other people raided it after a good 4 or 5 restarts they finally got rid of it and wiped our gear and the vehicles we had. Just find another server, you won't regret it.

I must say this server is pretty ace! - No choppers killing new spawns! - No hackers!!! - No duping!!! - Perfect for new players and experienced players alike! - Great community, I've lost count how many times other players have given me lifts across the map! - Vehicles!! - You can store your gear in tents/vehicles and have trust that the server aint going to hive reset and lose your hard work. - No L85!!! - Plenty of restarts, to keep the loot fresh! - Oh and events on the weekends! I could actually keep going, but I'm sure you get the point!

Hi, is there a list of the vehicles and/or weapons that are on the server..?

I would like to see the helis removed. Right now, there is no incentive to build a tent camp or hider your vehicles, since they can easily be spotted by helis.

Clans welcome! we need more competition on the server! Rules 1.NO combat logging 2.NO voice in sidechat 3.Hackers of course will be banned instantly Server Difficulty=Veteran Map=Panthera 3rd person=on Cross hair=On Name plate=off Death message=on Side chat=on Vehicles=over 150 adding more We are currently still working on the map, we have added MANY MANY vehicles in, We have also added buildings to the crappy spawns to make them not so bad. Currently building a "Loot Heaven" that will be placed in the desert/PVP area will have TONS of loot and heli crashes. Also customized bases for clans that join. Right now about 10 active people all friendly but we are starting to let more people into the server. once we have a good amount of people server will be passworded at all times ( SCREW HACKERS) If interested post here or PM me and I will give you server info.

@ersan191 We are getting VERY bad desync in our server mainly while driving/flying - drivers of vehicles gets along just fine, passengers will see the vehicle flip, and then freeze and it will not go back to normal sometimes until the driver has driven over 1000k from the point of they see the vehicle frozen. This seems to have started at the point of the 99153 update, as we did not have the issue anywhere near this bad before (would get the occasional desync, but it would clear up within seconds, not minutes). We get this bad desync no matter how many or few players are online on our server (the first one we noticed was with just 6 people on the server and the vehicle desynced by Object All and did not right itself until the driver had gone north of the Dam in Namalsk).

I can live with vehicles repairing themselves for now..what i hate is i cant shoot vehicles and do damage to those driving by :( Even shooting out wheels does nothing.

Hello friends, I have an issue in my server - US 171 - Sunday, a hacker enter in the server, killed everyone who was online and made all the vehicles in the game disappear. So, I'm receiving a lot of e-mails of some players who actually play in my server, asking me to do something to solve this problem. Here is my question. There's a way to reset all the server, making a real cleaning and let it as a new server? (reseting all vehicles and tents and all this stuff?) Thanks for the help, Thales
