vandal gab 1384 Posted December 25, 2012 Play on a low populated server to start and get to grips with the controls. Barns, Red brick buildings and towns are a good start, super markets and fire house's down south are good loot spots. Enjoy! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lebenese 1 Posted December 25, 2012 Alright :D thank you! What are hive servers ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lebenese 1 Posted December 25, 2012 And do you have to pay to join servers with the best protection Agaisnt hackers ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vandal gab 1384 Posted December 25, 2012 (edited) Alright :D thank you!What are hive servers ?You have the public hive servers that are connected to the main hive, this means your character is able to jump between these servers and keep all the gear you find and it will save you position on the map. Private hive is a private server, any gear you find + position is saved on that server only, each different private server you join you will start with nothing unless the server has a custom spawn loadout. =) Edited December 26, 2012 by vandal GAB 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lebenese 1 Posted December 25, 2012 Do you have to pay for private hives ? And I had another question in my third comment :)!Thank you!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vandal gab 1384 Posted December 25, 2012 The private hive servers I play on are free. Some are password protected, might be worth checking the forums there are always hosts looking for players to join. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lebenese 1 Posted December 25, 2012 And where can I find those posts about them looking for new players ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lebenese 1 Posted December 25, 2012 Merry Christmas to you too! Can I join your private hive and you can help me or im not allowed? :o Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vandal gab 1384 Posted December 25, 2012 (edited) I play on a server called UK ENOCH (Private hive) and UK 417 (Main hive). Won't be on for a few days got Christmas stuff to do! =(P.s recommend downloading Dayz commander it is great for updating the game searching for servers + players.http://www.dayzcommander.com/ Edited December 26, 2012 by vandal GAB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lebenese 1 Posted December 26, 2012 On the DayZ it said that what ever damage is done from dayZcommander isn't their fault 0.0. What happens if I don't? And I'll practice for a few days till you come back, then we team up? 0.o Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OrLoK 16187 Posted December 26, 2012 Hello thereJust FYI never pay to play on any server.If you want to donate, that's fine, but paying to play? NoRgdsLoK 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dr-Shade 83 Posted December 26, 2012 Also.... i would HIGHLY recommend playing the arma 2 tutorials before launch yourself into DayZ...It is rather difficult learning everything from scratch while trying to avoid zombies AND bandits :rolleyes:just a recommendation tho :thumbsup: 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's safe to use and in my opinion it's better than the official Six Launcher. Manually installing Dayz can be difficult, with Dayz commander it's all in one place and very simple to use.
