Derpy_Hooves (DayZ) 4521 Posted March 12, 2013 www.balotabuddies.netCustom Private HivesWe have been hard at work over at Balota Buddies recently and are finally proud to announce that our custom 1.7.6.1 patch is now running on all our servers.Our patch features all the custom food items from 1.7.6.0 (Fraggelo's, Sula Hoops, etc etc) aswell as everything good from the latest hotfix, we have also added a few tweeks in ourselves to make it more stable.Currently we are developing new features to add into our servers including new vehicles (BAF_Lynx for example) and we are also working on adding in some K9 companions!There is nothing to download either, everything is server based and will be in the mission file when you first log in all you have to do is get over to our site and get yourself whitelisted to enjoy our new patch.Extra Vehicles, Barracks and weapons are already standard on our servers (UK is more Vanilla DayZ).UK/US and AUS Cherneraus and Taviana, regular and Hardcore servers.Come join in the fun @ www.balotabuddies.net 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OrLoK 16186 Posted March 12, 2013 (edited) Hello thereThe time it takes to get whitelisted (on almost any server that uses the system) is vastly outweighed by the benefits it brings.One doesn't have to abandon open servers all together but the difference in general is astounding.I still like to go native and use pub servers now and again as they have a markedly different feel, but for me I like the security and camaraderie that a well run whitelisted server provides.RgdsLoK Edited March 12, 2013 by orlok its 3.30 am too many spollin mistookes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Target Practice (DayZ) 1335 Posted March 12, 2013 Please don't add dogs and stuff like that. I don't mind a new vehicle here and there, that's all nice variety, but when servers start adding their own features outside DayZ's core functionality, that's when I start to lose interest.There are hundreds of crappy servers out there with OMG DOGS, 500 HELIS, CARE PACKAGES, START WITH AS50 and so on, and most of them are empty. I love the BB servers because they're DayZ the way DayZ is meant to be played - nothing added, nothing taken away, and a great community to play with.At the end of the day, it's your server and you're free to do with it what you will, but I really hope you reconsider that particular addition.

mzltv 2281 Posted March 12, 2013 Interesting...Question - do the US servers get a decent enough ping if you're based in the UK?Wouldn't mind playing on a server with some custom features yo.Another question - if I played on the US server, would I still carry over my character from the UK server?Another another question - I thought there was a bit of an issue with dogs and the like, that's why the Dev Team hadn't released it into the mod as an official patch?Another another another question - how delicious is Orlok's fruit? no euphemism intended.

Fraggle (DayZ) 15720 Posted March 12, 2013 (edited) Your ping will be fine on the US server. I've played there before with no issues at all, unless anythings changed (I haven't played for ages) you will have a new character though.

Target Practice (DayZ) 1335 Posted March 12, 2013 Don't you forget the lack of hackers!Oh yeah, the lack of hackers and honest admins are great too, plus the fact that I seem to have awesome luck finding stuff on BB servers. :PBut yeah, please keep it as vanilla as possible!

Derpy_Hooves (DayZ) 4521 Posted March 12, 2013 Again our UK server is pretty much as Vanilla as you can get, US has all the extra features etc so you can get the best of both worlds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
