jdz (DayZ) 238 Posted October 21, 2012 I am curious, do you play on a private hive and if so, have the loot tables been changed and do you prefer it this way?Recently I've been playing on a server that a friend has set up and we are going changing the helicopter loot spawns, we are taking away .50cals and thermals (M107 still can spawn at the barracks) and SVDs and M24s will be the highest tier sniper rifles available at chopper crashes.What changes (If any) has your server of choice made? I've seen 2-3 that have several extra Stary type camps and even added barracks in places. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_headripper_ 8 Posted October 21, 2012 One of the servers i currently play on, have no thermals, a couple of new mlititary camps, extremely reduced droprate of as50, its possible it got disabled, no nvg:s, lots of new types of crashsites, all with new loot.For example.. i just love my sa58v acog.Ive seen a couple of new vehicles aswell, some kind of helis, ive seen atleast 2 new models and.. a couple of apc/armed cars.I like it, its like playing a new game, it feels kinda complete. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jdz (DayZ) 238 Posted October 21, 2012 Do you feel it has improved the gameplay a lot? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blaik_4@hotmail.co.uk 2 Posted October 23, 2012 I just went on a DayZ PH sever, and I saw you can pay for weapons. Weapons like AS50, L85...... OP shit like that made me sick tbh.Could I have the name or website for that sever if its in the EU please _Kane_IMO sniper rifle should be 7.62mm bolt action and and a few semi- automatic, and no thermal weapons. I wold like fire fight to go on for longer and have more movement in them,rather than just sniper fights can get boring sometimes.Tree line vs tree line with ARs can be amazing fun.again just my opinion.

_headripper_ 8 Posted October 25, 2012 Do you feel it has improved the gameplay a lot?Yes, but it have its flaws, my personal opinion though.Since admin/modder is VERY active, settings/spawns/loot.. everything is constantly tweaked.Overall its very good and a challenge once again.. for example, zombies can and will kill you if you dont pay attention..Infact.. this paticular private and very.. modded hive have so many new and different features that vanilla Dayz isnt even close.I just went on a DayZ PH sever, and I saw you can pay for weapons.

boneboys 7988 Posted October 25, 2012 Servers that keep the base game with maybe a few added vehicles and some minor additions like random loot drops and side chat are ok and keep the difficulty as it should be.I've played on servers with 100+ Vehicles/NVG's/Map/Compass/Matches and Knives +9mm silenced at spawn,,,,, the gameplay is completely fucked up ruined.I mean really DM with Z's.So if you want to keep the DayZ experience keep it to the minimum.IMHO.

joeoblong@yahoo.com 614 Posted October 25, 2012 I have to agree with Bone. I played on a server with over 100 vehicles and every weapon you can dream of... Was boring as hell! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_headripper_ 8 Posted October 25, 2012 At the end of the day it always comes to what makes youre boat float.I can agree, that servers with "100 vehicels and all weapons you can dream off" sounds boring.What im talking about though, is far from boring and a totally modded version of Dayz, its like vanilla dayz on some serious steroids. It certainly makes my kinda boat float even if it can be very.. challenging at times. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Imafighter 236 Posted October 25, 2012 I play a server where you start with an M40A3 Camo, Ghillie Suit, Morphine, cooked meat, antibiotics, two mountain dews, and a silenced Makarov.PVP servers like these can be fun to blow off steam. Me and my friends currently have the PBX on it, and I've gotten about three kills total, as a bandit. Its a fun server. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DrunkPunk 159 Posted October 25, 2012 I dunno, the server I play on not only has increased loot/downed choppers/tons of vehicles, but also has some extra buildings and a new town west of kamenka. ultimately, it makes it way more fun. you can happen across cars pretty easily, but they are easy come/easy go. more loot means that the people who have spent more time on the server don't end up dominating those who just joined (since most stock servers tend to have all 4 of hte high value loot areas stripped every time, and guarded by morons with as50s).so yeah, it may be DM with zombies, but so is vanilla dayz. the only difference i really see is an even playing field. and the added cars make the experience way more dynamic.
