Admiral_Blunts 5 Posted March 18, 2013 Seriously, wtf happened to them?I have been playing with a buddy who recently began playing Day-Z, just over a month, whereas I have been playing since about last July/August. My first experiences in this game are in chernarus on public hives, great memories.In the two times I have tried to bring him into public hives, we have literally just spawned in with less than 15 minutes of playtime before someone comes in and lets his scripts run wild. Once was the second time he had played( a SK just kept TP to us and griefing us by breaking our legs, he almost swore the game off completely that day), the other time was yesterday after he had a decent amount of experience on other maps on private hives. ( Just a straight up kill the entire server command)So I guess, I have a question for those of you who frequent the public hive, are they even worth playing on anymore until the SA, or are we just having terrible luck, because I would really love to show him what began my love for Day-Z as well as many others.

-Se7eN- 874 Posted March 18, 2013 unfortunately the main hive is pretty dead right now, which makes life as a medic pretty boring. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rossums 2190 Posted March 18, 2013 Ever since it became really 'popular' (August onwards) it's been getting gradually worse.Most players nowadays play on private hive servers with admins, there are rarely any hackers on whitelisted servers and if there are they are normally dealt with straight away.The problem nowadays are all the morons that have no experience running a server, no experience in any admin stuff and completely the wrong mentality to do so abusing admin powers and hacking/cheating themselves.Just find a good server and settle down there, it's brilliant fun.I recommend checking out the Balota Buddies servers - I've not played for almost a month (No capable computer at the moment) but for the months I've played on the server there has been 0 trouble with any hackers whatsoever. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think he's looking for vanilla. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

debaubau 17 Posted March 18, 2013 I haven't had any issues over the past two or three days on the pubs. I'm sure that will change now that I've said something, haha. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

intensity (DayZ) 312 Posted March 18, 2013 They also have vanilla servers in addition to the custom servers.Really? Which ones? I know there is a hardcore server, but rarely can more that 2 people be seen on it.I don't play on the AU servers (400 ping) so I don't know how they are.

But it is true, if you are going to play public the Hackers and SK are a risk that you have to take, I would suggest going on lower populated servers I jump off a server when hit hits 20+. Not because I'm afraid but generally SK's like to ruin as many days as they can and so they usually don't go on servers with less people. Other then that I'd say get a home server on a private hive.

NonovUrbizniz (DayZ) 137 Posted March 18, 2013 Here is a link to all current servers:http://balotabuddies...er-information/Uh not public hive it's not... I have a public hive server, the problem is all the active/good admins got tired of trying on the official public hive, so they all resort to mini-private hives on a common server or server host... Original Public hive is getting killed by the SA dev team purposely... they could make it safe, or start a group of trusted admins to oversee the servers and make sure that any pro-active antihacking was carried out by trusted parties...Frankly they could just move to a public whitelist and reduce the hacking by shittons... but I think that would leave less people pissed and waiting for SA... which IMO won't have better security AT ALL in the long run... but that's just a guess.

Admiral_Blunts 5 Posted March 18, 2013 Thanks for the replies guys, I just wanted to give him an experience that brought many of us to absolutely love this game.I will check out some of those servers, but I think NonovUrbizniz ( I only understood that once I typed it) has it right when he says that the devs have basically sworn off and are trying to kill the public hive in anticipation of the SA, and also the fact that they, imo, don't have the time with developing a game to focus their energy on a mod that is at the end of its lifecycle.

TJMaxed 8 Posted March 18, 2013 Prepare for a Bambi question. Are there any more vanilla servers that exist with lots of people but really good anti-hacking? I'd like to start making Dayz videos with lots of player interaction, but without hackers (obviously). Or is all hope for Chernarus lost? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
