US 420 Dallas VANILLA DAYZ SERVER! Newly Opened, Staying Till Standalone.

[Cochese 8]

Finding directions without a compass is easy, just look up: clouds always blow west-to-east.

There are a couple other methods listed here, if you want to pretend that doesn't happen and roleplay or something.

Or, if you have a map, you can just be lazy and shift-click to place a marker.

I'd have traded you my compass if I'd seen this earlier, I never use compasses anymore for the reasons above, but I was being an idiot and walking on the dock in Elektro and randomly got tossed 20 feet into the air and died.

@Drunkpunk082: Glad to see someone running a vanilla server, returning to DayZ's roots.

If all goes well, my self and my partner will definitely be joining as regulars under the names "ZombieX" and "ZombieG", so you know we're not hackers. We're also not always KoS, so if you're into any more joining your group, we'd be up for it.

We're older gamers ourselves (late 30's) so it's nice to see an actual adult running a server like this, taking care of bugs and dealing with asshat hackers. Keep it up!

Wow, great. I played the vanilla dayz since the start, at 2012. I'm back now, i'm glad there's a private hive w/ good admins.

You guys should make a whitelist for players, maybe this is the best way to avoid hackers. Thanks.

Perhaps in the future I will go this route. I hate to limit the players that can connect, or force new players to have to goto a website register and then wait for access to play. This will just kill the number of new players that join the server, and we don't have a large enough player base to not accept new players still.

Hackers are a real pain in the ass. I work 50 hours a week, and then go home to do car repair or PC repair for some extra side cash, so I don't have a ton of free time to approve whitelist requests if I had it setup that way.

Best thing for now is try to report any issues here for me, player names of suspected hackers are VERY appreciated, and I will review the logs and make bans accordingly.

On a side note, don't hesitate to contact me on this forum or via my e-mail listed on the server MOTD. I will personally investigate any loss of items due to hackers and replace what was lost.

Thanks for playing on US 420 Dallas, tell your friends!

I was driving around the NW Airfield in a Ural for a good 10-15 minutes with around 10 people on the server and no one to my knowledge took a shot at me (disappointed to tell you the truth).

Guess if the Ural is where I left it I'll try again later tonight.

[Cochese 8]

That is odd, usually when I'm on with a group that size, there's quite a bit of action going on somewhere. More than once I've seen kills happening repeatedly for several minutes at a time. Looked like a battle between two clans on at least one of those occassions. I remember when a Huey showed up in Cherno, saw lots of people scrambling then, first time I'd had that much fun on DayZ in a long while.

It's been Spring Break and exams for a lot of people the last couple weeks, maybe when schedules settle down we'll get some more activity like that going. And maybe I have an idea or two for an event if we get a decent crowd again.

I'm here again. I started play today, there's no one on the server right now, and it's all dark :<

I'm from brazil, GMT-3, what is the server time zone? Thanks.

Oh, i figure out now, its GMT +12, so it's dark right now, 4 AM.

I'll keep playing till the dawn

Heads up, we got a confirmed scripter: saw Matticus get banned for spawning a vehicle earlier, when I logged out before the restart just now they were still in game.

[Drunkpunk082 19]

Looking into the scripter right now. I was also made aware of a bug with the Hero skin where it teleports you to the shore/ocean on login. I have found out how to fix it, and am working to impliment the fix ASAP. Please bear with me as my main PC is down at the moment, had to send the motherboard in for repair. Should be back up to full power in a week or so, will try to have the fixes in place before then. Tell your friends! We need more players still!!

Drunk, the server have website or forum?

[Drunkpunk082 19]

For now I am just using and checking this topic daily. You can also contact me with the email listed on the servers MOTD. I do have plans for a website, however I would like to see the server with a higher population. We have 15-20 players online at peak hours but the off peak hours its like 5-10. So if you can help draw some players in ill take the time to setup a forum. Keep using this thread for now and I will keep watching it. Posting here also helps because it pushes the topic to the front page and gives us some extra exposure!

Right, i'm playing with a friend right now. I'm towhook in game and he is the "test subjetct"

We both brazillians, but we manage well to speak english.

What do you think to edit the spawn on crash sites of military weps? Remove as50 and shit.

Holy shit, I crashed my tractor and died :<

Lost tons of stuff that was stored on it. Spawned on kamenka, raining and totally dark (i think it's 1 AM).

I managed to get to the place where i died, and have my stuff back (makarov and MP5).

I'll wait till the day light now to play again. Hehe.

[towhook 2]

Oh shit, look at the new update!

Do it ASAP drunk, we NEED it :3

[towhook 2]

Why the server GMT was set to +12 when he's hosted on dallas?

[Drunkpunk082 19]

New update isn't available to the public yet. Still being tweaked in testing. My host will update the server as soon as its available!

Had a blast yesterday. Crashed two heli's, had a shoot out while trying to refuel the second heli right before we crashed it. One guy took me out, other guy got sniped by my teammate making a mad dash to flank me. Then the guy that killed me headed for the hills, knowing I had a sniper watching my corpse and the chopper! So much fun.

Thats some bad news bro, do you recovered your stuff?

[Criminal Joe 2]

I'm going to try and get my gang on, sounds like everything is running smoothly and nobody is a pain in the ass.

Call some friends, we need more guys playing everytime so we can make a whitelist.

For now, no whitelists.

[Criminal Joe 2]

I take that back, hacker currently on.

Following people are on Black.A, criminal joe, morgan freeman, siebengebirgsjaerger, kundji, snazzyllama, link.

first 3 are me and my friends, kundji, snazzyllama and link im on the positive side that they are not it. sieben keeps talking about how it would be not fun and such.

[towhook 2]

LOL, now i get it DrunkPunk.

420 = cannabis culture.

[Drunkpunk082 19]

Joe, what led you to beleive there was a hacker present? You are vouching for Morgan Freeman?! I've had him banned in the past for suspected hacking. If you can give me more info I will review the logs and make bans accordingly.

[towhook 2]

Bump! Need more players!

C'mon guys.

Got it all figured out was on a little earlier got killed a few times still getting a feel for the controls looks awsome, is it worth playing at night as a bambi

any one got tips for how the inventory works

The first time I logged into DayZ, it was pitch black, I crawled for two hours and starved to death with the sounds of hell all around me. It was the best time I've ever had in a game. I definitely recommend playing as a bambie at night. You'll learn so much and there really isn't a more challenging gaming environment. Seems like this server won't have twenty people running around with NVGs so it should be fairly safe for a new guy. Plus getting killed because you broke out your flashlight while looking for food is a great learning experience. Have fun man, I think I'm gonna try this server tonight.
