Pyro_Marine 147 Posted January 10, 2013 Do you prefer to play on a "vanilla" server or one with mods?Why?Which mods (if you prefer "modded") do you enjoy having on a server? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
entspeak 374 Posted January 10, 2013 I play the vanilla mod, Dayz+ and Dayz 2017. I like them all for different reasons. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mos1ey 6301 Posted January 10, 2013 Personally I like vanilla, 9,001 vehicles and spawning with night-vision kind of defeats the purpose for me. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NonovUrbizniz (DayZ) 137 Posted January 11, 2013 I like no one else setting up any more servers lol... there are soooo many at this point.Any experience you want is already hosted by someone else and there is an existing population playing on that server...I think if people spent half as much time finding good servers with good hosts/admins as they did figuring out stuff about hosting their own server we'd have a MUCH more active and vibrant community.To answer your question directly, I like BOTH... when the public hive life become too stressful or I'm overly emotionally invested I play on private hives, depending on my mood I will play a survival one or two or PvP 10million cars one... they are both fun in their own ways and neither one is "the right way"...Between the varience in maps, hosts, servers, public/private, starting kit, vehicle persistance etc etc etc you can get any experience out of this mod you want...I have characters in different stages of development on like 20 different servers/maps... THAT is the true value in a private hive IMO... the ability to have multiple "lives" in multiple maps or the same map.... the removal of the ghosting ability is a big plus on private hives too... but other than that if you're going to go vanilla I say go public.What's the point of slightly modding what is already a fantastic game on it's own... and you DRASTICALLY increase your audience when it's a public hive... I've swapped maps on my 2nd server 2-3 times this month to see what gets played more... the long and short of it as far as I can tell is that frankly there are too many private hives right now and no matter how good your server is it's likely not going to get a lot of players or a solid base community for AT LEAST 2-3 months... at which point stand alone will be out... are you going to keep paying to host a mod server at that point???

Pyro_Marine 147 Posted January 12, 2013 Good thing I'm not purchasing a server at the moment but merely seeing what the player base enjoys.Why would I purchase one now when the stand alone is apparently just around the corner? O_o Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
