I personally have played on DayZ redux for a few days now and find the difficulty a welcome change. the loss of sniper rifles IS A GOOD THING. i feel this promotes people to actually play together and form squads and build actual survival stories. Rather than have it be a one man tank buster armed to the teeth with thirty vehicles stashed somewhere, being overjoyed when you find a bloody AK-47 is a welcome change from merely tossing those in the "trash" I look forward to playing on this server for a long time to come. Most of my friends do as well. ~Angmooren P.S: i too have seen a major jump in the server population. when i first rolled my character there were around 15 people on, which quickly dropped as it got later and later into the morning, i look foward to posting this on the forums i belong to, to spread the server.

scavenging is one of the most fun things I've done in dayz, hop onto an empty server, and you can just spend hourd and hours discovering stuff by simply looting places. for example, ever since I started looting, I discovered weapons such as the svd camo, the m16a4 acog, the m4a3 cco, all the machine guns, the m4a1 holo m203, the multi color flares and the hand grenades (oh the hand grenades), I discovered things I've heard from but never seen, such as ammo boxes, sand bags, I discovered that things like engine parts and main rotor assemblies are one of the rarest spawns (although nobody picks them up on hipop servers), and especially I discovered the technique of loot cycling, I've repaired tons of vehicles and learned to drive them, learned what is hazardrous and what terrains allow for what, and the very few human interactions are the most intereeting experiences I had. dayz really offers a lot even played as a single player game.

Hey guys, due to all of the hacking of late, a few guys have put money towards a server that we are running and we'd like you to join! We currently have a player base of around 25 players but are looking for more, we have 3 established teams on the server that are all about the squad firefights. We have currently removed the helicopters due to the ridiculous imbalance they possess but there are plenty of land based vehicles around. I'm tired and can't be fucked typing out the info and whatnot so I'll just copy and paste it for you guys We can also provide a clan channel in mumble if you'd like :thumbsup: Oops, almost forgot the server settings!

Where is this server? The IP is 114.23.34.69 or dayz.net.nz The physical location is in Tauranga. Q. Why do we have this server? This server was made so we have more control over the game. This is important because we can quickly remove hackers and restore your gear and loot if something goes wrong Q. Who are the admins? The current all knowing, all powerful admin is "paddyp" but a couple more are going through the selection process. These people don't know who they are so everyone be on your best behavior. Q. Do you have a VOIP server? Yes we do! We have a mumble server up running on the same IP as the DayZ server. Here are the details; 114.23.34.69:64738 At the current time you must be on the mumble server to play on the DayZ server. Q. Man, this server is the best! I know! Q. Tell me more about the server! The server runs off 4 cores at 2.8GHz, 6GB RAM, 400GB hard drive, Fiber up and down and unlimited NZ bandwidth. This sets us back $199 a month so please donate if you play. Q. Where can I donate? We have a donation box for you! Account number is 06-0081-0023414-28 My name is Paddy Polson Put your name in the particulars if you want to be known as awesome. Server rules No disconnecting to avoid death from players or zombies No hacking or use of 3rd party scripts, these include spawning items in,map hacks, god mode and teleporting. No intentional exploiting such as - Changing a used ammo mag/clip into a different ammo type then back into the original ammo type (Fixed?) - Droping your backpack then changing skins with the intent to dupe the backpack. - Logging out to get rid of zombie aggro. - Using hacked in weapons. - Putting near empty clips/mags in the backpack upon log out (refils the mag/clip back to full). - Any form of duping and if you do happen to accidently, do the moral thing and dispose of it. - Your name in Mumble must be the same as ingame

Yes, I did. I had the same problem with the chopper last week and was able to fix it due to some helpful suggestions (you will need at least one buddy to help you out though). I assume you're able to determine the location of those vehicles with the entries in the .RPT file (if not, just let us know). http://dayzmod.com/f...or/#entry923246

Fixing the tree issue or removing 3 vehicles from the game affects the balance and ruins it? Try reading my post again moron,.

Unfortunatley you picked a bunch of arseholes to play with. Most clans are not like this and will be happy to help you. My advise would be to stick with them till you get as many as you can around you and when you get your chance gun them all down blow up their vehicles and destroy their tents then leave with your head held high :thumbsup:

As i was part of working on the testing on this map, I know for a fact that the Coding was custom, the map is on Armaholic for anyone to download, someone in here acts like they made the map... Well i can tell you the maps might be the same... but the ViLayer Panthera is quite unique... right down to the vehicle placement. The amount of zombies spawning is great.. all of the ViLayer maps have had an overhaul with more loot, more vehicles. Way to go ViLayer team.

think the answer is more a question of vehicles in general on dayz. more vehicles in the game ala like wasteland mod would make it more entertaining and less of a ballache . choppers while fun for a short period of time are boring really. you spend to long trying to get and when you get them to much maintence also most people are having fun on the ground while you flying round doing squat. they are good for finding others loot and vehicles. but in general if you want more fun stay on foot with basics this is what makes dayz and not having a chopper and every gun in your backpack. .

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 300 registered Day Z players that play casually as well as in various Fire Teams using our Teamspeak Server to communicate and coordinate their scavenges and raids. The fire 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.

M1A1 Tank altered to: Be reloaded with looted rounds (rare spawn) Be repaired as other vehicles Treads take damage from high caliber rifle rounds (AS50, m107) rendering tank immobile Slightly higher percentage chance of AT rockets and launcher spawn? The idea about the tank is that server hosts could choose between spawning choppers or spawning tanks. The tank would have to be made more vulnerable to certain weapons, but the fact that you can't guard it 24/7 sort of guarantees that no one will keep one permanently anyway. Camouflage Tarp/Structure to cover and hide vehicles. Seriously, the only annoying thing about choppers is the fact that sooner or later one is going to wreck your camp. Firearms are covered up and down in this thread all ready. If tanks or vehicular camouflage were mentioned, I didn't read those posts and apologize. And please don't implement a massive amount of melee and improvised weapons. It just seems too easy for these ideas to become comedic and shatter the tension and bitter seriousness of DayZ. To me, the mod's biggest success is in taking this genre seriously when no other devs had even half way considered trying it.

I was invited to play in a clan. Played for some weeks. Turns out that everybody was selfish as hell and only cared about personal gain (fun). When I argued that everybody should play with a group mindset, they told me to stop complaining or else they would kick me out. This post is a warning to people who seeks groups to play. After spending the whole week seeking and repairing vehicles, including two helicopters and ATV's, more often than not I would log back the next day just to discover that my clan mates had took my ride "somewhere safe", leaving me to cross the map on foot (I would message them with my grid ref when logged out). Last time we had just fixed a Chopper in Cherno and was searching for engine parts on Berezino after refueling the tank for 15 minutes. We got hacked. All vehicles on map were teleported to Stary Sobor. In panic, I ejected the heli too early, got my legs broken and knocked out. I asked them to come and apply an epi-pen on me and they said "too dangerous man, the heli might explode any moment now". After 2 minutes my char woke up, I bandaged myself and took morphine. When I finally start to stand up the heli exploded and killed me. I was in the skype call, so I could hear them talking about all the gear they found on the teleported vehicles and choosing wich one to take. I re-spawned in Kamenka and asked for a pick up. Nobody replied. So I start to run back to my body to pick up my gear (specially my coyote backpack). They were too busy looting the vehicles, so I could understand why no one in a group of 4 players could pick up a motorcycle and go down 5 minutes to pick me up. When I was almost approaching the city, I heard them talking about satchel-charge the whole thing to make a awesome youtube video. I was telling them my location and ETA all the time. But they were still busy filming the explosion. When I entered Stary, they were gone. When I asked why didn't they wait for me I got no reply but "we destroyed everything man, your body is not even there anymore. I wouldn't bother going there, dude. Tomorrow we pick you up". I got pissed and told them to go and leave me alone. Since I had spent the last 15 minutes or more running back from the shore, I decided to go check the hacking spot. Fire was everywhere, but there was plenty of usable vehicles still. I also found my body in perfect condition... apart from the gear they looted. At least I manage to take my tool belt back and my gun, but the juicy stuff was gone. I looted a Ural for gear and took off further north in a camo UAZ. I had quit the skype call the moment I understood they weren't coming back to pick up not even if I was 2k away from they position. There was this message on skype from another member telling me to spot complaining or the clan would kick me out. I got so mad I didn't even give a proper reply. Just wrote back saying "We meet in Chernarus then". From all the frustation I had with this game, this was the biggest one. Players being assholes in game sucks, but IRL I can't stand it. I am very disappointed and I hope my experience helps new players looking to be part of a clan. Be aware! If this kind of thing start happening to you quit right away. Some of the best moments I had on DayZ was from team work gameplay. But it's only fun when you play with people who cares to each other. If they don't it's not worth your effort.

how many vehicles exactly on the server?

Hiya guys. Recently i started up my own server as i was sick of finding servers that didnt have douche admins. Now im wondering Why hasnt the heli spawned i checked the spawn location for the heli but it still has not spawned while the ground vehicles have or atleast that i know off as i have only repaired a ural and a uaz. servers only 2 days old wondering why the heli has not spawned in its spawn location Cheers karl

Got like 40 Humvees, 20 taliban vehicles and 18 helis on my server of Falujah xD

Another update... We're now running DayZ Fallujah v1.1 It can be downloaded here --> ftp://[email protected]/DayZFallujah-1.1.rar (PASS: dayzcommander) Just overwrite the files in your existing @DayZFallujah mod directory and you're good to go! We've also added another 40 vehicles & boats, centered around the main city. Player numbers have halved since the big update but we're confident that all will return to normal within a couple of days (as players get around to patching). Loot & zombie spawns appear to be fixed in this update but auto-refueling is disabled :(

* Training system. The more you run, the fitter you are so the longer you can sprint for and the less you run out of stamina. Perhaps also the type of food you eat matters a lot, and has differing nutrition levels. No just surviving on beans! * Definitely a shopping trolley/wheel barrow. * More types of bike. Arma 2 already has a mountain bike dammit... * The Ka-60 and Little Bird (unarmed) helis are perfect for DayZ. The Ka-60 is more of a private heli and is unarmed, so would take the residential area spawns. The little bird would be interesting; smaller and easier to hide, but slower and easier to shoot down/shoot people out of. Ka-60 is pretty similar to the Huey. * More weapon slots in helicopters...seriously...a Huey can only take 3 weps? U srs? * Fabric paint for customisation/marking your team/leaving messages * Camo nets * Vehicle paint (military camo would be rare) * Car keys/locks * Safes (also maybe some safes in banks, and the key has a low chance of spawning on zombies created by that building). * Pointless, rare, 'for show' guns, like the golden revolver. * Campervan * Dartgun (causes zombies to 'sleep' for 5 minutes, and are crawlers thereafter. Egg timer for players.) * More boats (some rowing) * Biplane, because lol. * .22 caliber weps * PKP and RPD, because they're sexy * Helicopters can lift other vehicles * ATVs, bikes, motorcycles can fit in the back of the Ural/V3S (take up some player slots) * Ability to flip vehicles, requiring a certain number of people depending on weight value. * Helicopters that don't shit a brick when you land them faster than 5 'units' (what is the speed measured as in Arma 2, anyway?) * Being able to shoot from the side of a heli (or any vehicle, really) * Quiver for the crossbow, or just stackable arrows. * Different types of bow * As everyone else has said, many different lower tier civilian weapons. * Up the winchester spawn rate and decrease the double barrel. Seriously. * Notepad and pen. * Radios, can tune into different frequency. Police/military radios offer encryption. * Generators for electricity. This could power a town's lights etc. Would be fueled like a vehicle, pretty low consumption rate. If shot at it would never be completely destroyed; just take scrap metal to fix. * Helicopters don't need windscreen glass to not leak. * More clothes, spawn depending on building. * Different levels of tent (already included in Arma) * Siphoning hose for redistributing fuel or filling quicker. * Matches aren't infinite. * Some houses have working cookers, if you have fuel. * Lighters. * Bubble gun, because pew pew pew. * Megaphone/stereo - can place and then play your voice over a much larger radius than standard direct comms. Could play gunshot noises through it. * Laser pointers. * Digital cameras.

Nice server with nice service :) Sidechannel active, many cars and other vehicles and a really nice community :) The admins did a great job with this server! Like playing on it! :)

Well get 5 of you on a private BF:BC2 server, get 2 guys to steal all the vehicles and hide them badly, 2 to wear ghilies and go sit in hedges on the opposite sides of the map and take pot shots at each other, then get the last guy to use up all his ammo and run up and down the beach like a retard. It'll give you some idea of DayZ on public hives. Oh, and make sure to play it on 'Ardcore mode for that AS50 round to the toe insta-death feeling. /tongueincheek.

Hello and thanks for reading, Since yesterday, I haven't been able to connect to a private hive that I have been going to for quite awhile. The problem is that I keep getting stuck at the Black screen with the green text that says "loading". I have tried waiting for 20 minutes, and still nothing. This is what I have tried doing: *Reinstalled Arma 2 and OA. *Reinstalled Dayz Commander. *Did a Manual install of DayZ when Dayz commander failed to fix it. *Tried installing the latest beta patch, both from the website and from DayZ commander. I tried different versions, including the newest one. *Defragged OA from Steam. *Ran steam as an Admin. *Tried downloading and installing the newest battleye file. I doubt that my system specs have anything to do with the problem, since I have been able to access the server before with the same computer, but here they are just in case: Windows 7 x64 AMD FX 6100 with six processors. AMD HD 6850 Graphics card. 8 GB RAM. So, please, help me find a solution to this. I was really having fun on that server until that problem happened. I understand that DayZ is still in alpha, but I would really like to know if there's anyway around this problem. Before anyone says anything about searching through the forums, I have pretty much tried most of the solutions given. Anyway, thanks for reading and I hope that you can help me. EDIT: I can go into any other server, except for this one. Just in case anyone asks. Oh, and it's a chernarus map server with 80+ vehicles.

My suggestion? Get good at PvP and hunt bandits. Or get some team mates and go try to acquire vehicles amd set up a camp. Hell, become a sniper. Your endgame is only as limited as your imagination.

Looking for a few west coast players to start a small group, also looking for a WC password protected server Must be 18+ west coast loyal skilled team oriented teamspeak or vent PM for contact please reply with info. How long you've been playing: Style of Play: (Run n Gun, Stakeout, Camper, etc...) Preferred Role: (Hero, Bandit, Neutral, Medic, Sniper, Assault etc...) A little about yourself: (Optional) If you answer about the server please PM and give server info. Must Be WC, Password Protected, Hacker Free with Fair, Honest and Active Admins! The more vehicles and custom loot the better! Thank You.

Panthera Island has taken the spotlight and is my favourite map by far now. "Small but big" is what I'd call it, and with all the vehicles (80 on the private hive I'm hosting) there is action at most places and times and it's always easy to get around the island. Been flying the Osprey for a while aswell, landing in the small villages and such, picking up random paratroopers. Come play with us! Search for Two Vikings and there'll be a Chernarus and a Panthera Island with 50 slots.

I'm not saying they should be extremely common, more along the lines of finding a crashed heli. For example they would be found in busy areas like Cherno where they would be trying to defend themselves in a building. The gunfire would attract attention. Another problem I have is playing a lone wolf is that it feels like the last man alive. Since everyone is afraid to discharge a weapon due to snipers I think the added gunfire would detract from sniping players. People would get accustom to hearing shots in the distance and not knowing if it was a player or npc would add to fear. Also NPCs could be used to add place holders to player encampments once they have been created. Finding NPCs in the wild would transported to your camp, then they would add to distraction of maintaining the encampment, they would need food/water/ammo. They would prevent the encampment from being overrun and your vehicles from despawning, which would prevent people hiding them in the distance. Also they would be provide the bare level of security for when bandits raid the camp. ARMA has a command structure in place right now so being able to issue very basic commands would not be outside the realm of possibilities. Furthermore these NPCs could be trained in a specialized field that most survivors would not be able to attain. Save an engineer and you would be able to turn the power back on once your encampment has been setup. Save a doctor and they can do single player blood transfusions and produce bandages daily. Save a soldier and they would have body armor/weapons training. The idea of protecting specialized NPCs would add to the need for NPCs and provide a true reason to setup encampments other than a bank for your items. Also this would play into the idea of bandits/heros as NPCs would shoot bandits on sight to protect the settlement and the heros would be able to get specialized items from the npcs. Soldiers would give ammo, doctors bandages/meds, engineers could setup special blinds/bunkers and repair vehicles. tl;dr NPCs uncommon, but are the basis of setting up encampments. Specialized NPCs extremely rare, but provide a means to access content which would otherwise be unattainable.

No offence taken. To be honest there are lots of little things you could add to DayZ which arent really necessary, can openers included. For instance how do we get all these vehicles to work? Do we hotwire them? Why cant we jump? Why on earth does morphine fix broken bones - it should be for pain relief not curing? I like the Molotov idea - i would love to light up a group of zombies and it would put to use a useless item such as the empty whisky bottles we find everywhere. I agree that there are bigger issues to fix, modify and i think this @Alderon mod could do just that. I suppose we all want the same thing, a fully immersive, authentic experience and the more things that add to this the better. I dunno, i just love the idea of someone starving, finding a can of beans and then not being able to open the tin. :D
