Lack of vanilla

[Ziliphade 20]

I have come to the conclusion that finding a server with no 5039580398530+ vehicles, start with nuclear missle/24/7 day bullshit is impossible, a small amount exist but they only have 2-3 consitant players.

But this seems to only be for my time zone (PST)

Are legit vanilla servers more common in other time zones or even other countries?

By legit vanilla you mean like public hive but on a private server?

I wish dude, I all for vanilla and limited vehicles.

Probably private because it discourages combat logging, 3DP & CH are optional, but I like to have nameplates so I don't shoot the guy who gave me something 10 minutes later because he moved ahead of me.

I've yet to find a normal vanilla server that wasn't dead. Guess we'll have to wait for the standalone. :/

I think it is because a very large majority of the player base are bandits and bandits can not mobilize tons of people at once in an orderly and safe fassion without vehicles, and they are too afraid to play the game without their 10 snipers watching over them as they take 1 step forward.

What a stupid generalisation. How you conclude every bandit to be like that is beyond me.

I'm a bandit who prefers to go on foot, personally.

Calm down Inception, i will acknowledge solo and even semi-friendly bandits such as yourself.

Most bandits are like this, but not all. I think he meant most.

lock pls

[Buskaroo 15]

I've been considering actually hosting a vanilla server, but I'm still not sure whether it's going to get enough attention to be worth €40 a month.

I agree though, there definitely isn't enough with high populations.

I don't know why you think I am not calm.

Even bandits that roll in groups don't play how you described.

Goddammit I did it again. Thanks, lol.

or somethig like that?

[Dancing.Russian.Man 1631]

I agree that the "24/7 daylight, 200+ vehicles, custom loadout" title is way too common in the server browser.

It's the reason why I haven't bothered playing DayZ myself for the past 2-4 months.

But luckily I still have the forums to stay active on while waiting for the Standalone.

after your "why is revolver and M9 in the game if glock and m1911 are better" thread it surprises me you would make a thread complaining about the lack of vanilla servers.

That does not correspond to this whatsoever and if you are now digging up old arguments in an attempt to get a rise out of me than you will be dissapointed, you can kindly leave the thread along with your obsession.

I will not bother to argue this with you for 2 reasons

1. It will make you happy and drive away your natural instinct of insta-locking the thread

2. We will never find a common agreement if your counter-argument is that blunt.

well it does correspond to this, people wish the game was different in some way and since they cant make the mod magically change to their liking they get a private hive server and change a bunch of stuff, making it non-vanilla. The surprise came to me because you are puzzled why certain weapons are in the game then next minute youre getting bugged because theres a lot of non-vanilla servers

and BTW that's a very strange thing to say after you called someone schizophrenic for noticing something, almost as if you were trying to get a rise of of them.

I guess the bulk of players and servers have rejected Rockets idea of DayZ survival in favor of Dayz spawn with ammo crate death-match.

There is about 18/14 public servers down this way and for the most part their empty.

I wonder if Rocket is just wasting his time with the standalone for it to be torn apart and turned into another free4all custom loot server.

i really hope not. if they make the game well enough then it shouldnt come to that. i think the reason for the deathmatch that most servers have become is the almost 99% banditry rate in recent times. people see all these youtube videos of bandits going around and killing everyone and think HURR DURR IMA DO THAT and then they just go and KoS everyone they see. if the standalone promotes teamwork as a means of survival then it will work so much better than the mod, because it will be in peoples best interests to work together, rather than just go to cherno or elektro and deathmatch it up.

[intensity (DayZ) 312]

Private hives fixed hackers but killed the *real* dayz game. I remember times when I would only see vehicles pass by rarely. And I would be like WOW that must be fun. To fix a vehicle up yourself was very, very difficult and there was only a handful of them to go around. I think it was roughly 25 total.

My favorite server at the moment (balota buddies) has become a nightmare. You have extra barracks at NE and NW and loads of choppers. Teams of people flying around at every server restart farming heli crashes and odds are that if you kill someone they will ask the chopper guys for a pickup after respawn and will immediately attack your last known position. I know there are many variables in this but for me the immersion is dead and gone. I shall wait for the standalone.

[Sutinen 635]

What I've been searching is for is a server that doesn't require you to sign to their fucking website, have a mic, get teamspeak, have some 2 GB uber map or stupid shit like that.

I found one which simply has the password on their website and you're done. The server barely has any players nowadays, but there were no hackers either.

I don't lock threads in this manner if there is no valid reason to, as that would be a conflict of interest--you would have to be quite ignorant to think such a way. I locked your last thread [which, by the way, had gone on for 77 replies--how you conclude that to be insta-locking is beyond me] because it had been agreed upon by most that it should be locked, due to how pointless it was, and the discussion had pretty much been ended with a video.

Back on topic.

You were generalising an EXTREMELY large playerbase, incorrectly. No wonder why we won't find a common agreement.
