"Hardcore" gameplay.

Recommended Posts

I want to play the game the way the mod designers intended it.

Default Churno map.

Veteran.

No side channel.

No cross hairs or player mouse-overs.

No extra vehicles.

No extra guns or modified spawns.

No custom bases.

I want to play it on the current patch.

And I don't want my vehicles to reset to their spawn location every time the server resets.

And I want to play on a private hive so that people stop ghosting up behind me by switching servers so they can cross fields and kill-zones without being seen.

I want the survival experience.

I want to worry about not having enough antibiotics.

Does this exist anywhere? Or is everyone just running a COD server?

I found ONE server running 1.7.7 on a private hive on Veteran mode. CIA Gaming server...

... but the vehicles reset every six hours when the server does, and there are way to many of them.

The holy grail as far as i'm concerned. A vanilla server with 3rd person/crosshairs/side chat disabled and the other features you mentioned.

I too would love to know if such a server exists and would be interested in funding one if it doesn't.

Nonono.. -Private- Hive.. haha.

See, the problem with Public Hive, is people can go to other servers.. walk around behind your position, log back in, and shoot you in the back.

This creates circumstances where logical positioning, and choke points that do work in a logical world *don't* work...

Private Hive keeps people from doing that!

mydayz.de I remember they had decent servers...

They had awesome servers but sadly they quit as of june 9th. Those guys were putting a hell of a lot of time into it and well.. their lives didn't agree to that anymore.

Should check out my Vanilla DayZ server.

Only "extra" feature added is a custom anti-hack to keep hackers out. :)

Looks good but you have 3rd person and side chat enabled =(

Yeah, was thinking about disabling it, but lost many players when I did...

unfortunately far too many have come to rely on this crutch =(

It would take some courage to go full hardcore, but there is a market out there for it I'm sure. A niche market admittedly, but you would get 100% of those who want the full experience as described by the OP. There must be a few hundred of us out there.

I totally agree, but it's quite hard getting regular players on when 3rd person isn't on.

I just noticed your DayZ server starts with a custom load-out -- a weapon / Makarov -- and I will likely be avoiding that.

Part of the panic, the frustration.. the worry.. and the meaningfulness of pulling the trigger or not ... is knowing how hard it is for a person to start over again. I don't play a bandit; and I've never murdered anyone (although I tried, and failed, once, with a crow-bar when I was desperate.)

... I try to play a positive humanity character.

And I don't want easy-mode. I don't want people to walk into a room, next to loot they need.. see a conga line of zombies .. and just head-shot each one as they come. It makes restarting to easy. It makes helping fresh spawns a pointless exercise rather then about trust building.

I want the genuine experience.

About the custom loadout, that's changed a long time ago... Gametracker is just veeeery slow to update.

But anyway, if you want to try it, go ahead. If you don't, well that's up to you.

I was going by the link you sent me, reading it. You never modified the specs, and so I assume the information you send is what you want me to read and compare~ with regards to 3rd person? I don't have a huge problem with that, but only because the 'lean' option is so jerky that it's impossible to *not* get noticed when you do it.

If it were possible, how it is in real life.. to slowly 'ease' into a lean, you might seem like a bush or something, or go entirely unregistered..

But with DayZ's / ARMA II's lean mechanic?... I dunno.

Also, most sound detection isn't precise in most people's head-sets. I'm lucky enough to have Dolbi-digital 3D sound in my head-set. (And I play on a 1080p TV with an HDMI cable from my PC) ... barring an easier lean, I don't really mind the 3rd person. It's also the one thing that gives you peripheral awareness around your character's immediate surroundings, where so often, you might get hung-up on something you can't even see with a glance.. because we don't have nerve-endings to our characters.

Yeah, you do start with a Makarov, it is 3rd person, as stated in the thread.

But it was changed to Vanilla DayZ like early yesterday.

And about my previous post, it was about the gametracker banner. Not the actual spawnkit. ;)

Yeah, I don't want to do a starting weapon.. I want to run in terror for awhile till I find a weapon.

As a side-note though.. wow. Apparently a lot of people are interested in a hard-core server...

Is hosting a server easy? I do have a pretty powerful PC... (And by powerful, I mean *way* and regretfully, waste-inducingly overdone.)

What if I save you the trouble, and make this totally hardcore? Like spawn with a bandage? Everything else off? ;)

I am willing to try, just hasn't had the best of lucks in the past with it. :D

80.242.152.220:2322 hive... but they don´t "ghosting" on this Server. It feels like private. It is fun. PM me when you found a private one... nice ping (18) one of the best in my favorites.

It's a Private Hive discussion forum~ will do though. I'm not interested in what people's intents are with their server, I'm interested in a set of hard-coded rules.. not telling people: "Sorry, this crap isn't allowed" kinda ruins the point of DayZ as a "people do what they can/have to/feel the need to do".

I'd rather use hard methods of preventing people from doing behaviors in as many areas as possible, rather then saying: "Oh, we'll get angry at you if you ghost."

That *doesn't* stop COD kiddies or combat loggers. Only the complete loss of access to something they care about does that - which is why the private hive guards the investment of those whom enjoy the theme.

They become the gate-keeper to your prized DMR and your blue van.

On an unrelated note:

6-core i7 processor (12 virtual cores), 64 gigs of ram (100 gigs devoted to cache RAM on the OS specific 256 gig SSD drive.) two striped 256 drives running as one, and a 1 TB storage drive for my movies, music and video.

Is it hard to host your own DayZ server? I saw a post on it once, but I really didn't understand it..

Search 'RU 68' and choose the Harcore1/2 server.

I get 100 ping in NW Europe and it really depends on your location. However I noticed a couple of extra deerstands, this server is mostly the hardcore vanilla dayz with these exceptions.

Search 'Day-z.pl' for a mercenary (hardcore) Polish server. Although there are several custom bicycle spawns in villages at the coast. Again, it is still the real dayz experience without 3rd person etc. The bicycles actually make the game a hell of a lot more fun because they are not too OP and get reset every server restart (to the coast) so you can't keep it forever. The other vehicles do not get reset. This server however does have quite a bit more custom things such as a firestation in Zelenogorsk but as I said before it is still the dayz experience.

Seems the server didn't quite like the move to mercenary, it went back to 1.7.7 patch.

I'll fix it asap!
