Jenn (DayZ) 7 Posted July 3, 2013 Private Hives are becoming commonplace on DayZ, and I think this is a good thing...HOWEVER...Limiting all private hive topics to one single forum is problematic.SO many posts here are people who advert their private hive servers, which is fine and well...But some of us private hive administrators have legitimate questions or problems (such as myself) that we have to weed through so many "play at my server" adverts that it is hard to find answers to our questions, despite the search tools, that cannot be answered by our server hosts but rather those who understand the code behind the game.What I am asking, respectfully, is to make the Private Hive a major topic, and include subtopics for adverts, admin questions, reporting, and so on... From what I have seen, private hives are quickly matching if not overtaking the number of community hive servers (for me the choice was cost - it was cheaper to run a private hive rather than a community... and I am on, like many of us, a limited budget)Anyway, my humble request. I will understand if it is not granted but it is my hope that it is at least considered. :) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beck (DayZ) 1768 Posted July 3, 2013 We just need a Private Hive Recruitment sub-forum like we have the DayZ General Discussion split up with clan/group advertisement. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jenn (DayZ) 7 Posted July 3, 2013 Yes I can see the request was made for this a while ago under the pinned private hive topic...I can also understand the development team, while allowing private hives to exist in peaceful cohabitation, not wanting to offer too much support... many offerings of other sites have been mentioned - like opendayz and armaholic... but THIS is the dayz community and private hives ARE a part of that community.We just need a Private Hive Recruitment sub-forum like we have the DayZ General Discussion split up with clan/group advertisement.This would be a great start, but I would also like to see a forum for admins to ask questions or discuss between admins of other servers problems and how to solve them.For example... my server has tools to control the # of vehicles spawned... and my auto- server restart doesn't seem to work, nor does the tool that is supposed to control the # of vehicles on my server. I have it set to no more than 25 and currently have 50+ vehicles on my map. It is too new to have that many saved vehicles...Another example... I would like the choose male or female skin option... There is great customization that can be achieved with the male skins, so that the 3 other people I play with all look different and we can tell each other apart, which is GREAT. But... being a female (and knowing that I can't use a ghillie/camo), I would still like the ability to choose that.Long timers here would probably know the code to help fix those issues... or be able to offer advise...It would be helpful, like I said, to have a full-topic private hive main forum area with the subtopics (and I may have the nomenclature wrong but am sure you know what I mean) of adverts, admin help, reporting, etc...

SmashT 10907 Posted July 3, 2013 (edited) It's a good point, we did consider changing it a while ago but decided not to with the game about to release (December) and forums sections changing with a greater focus on the standalone, there likely aren't going to be 20 sections for the mod so adding new ones now would end up just being merged in a couple of weeks/months time.

Will the beta be going away when the standalone is released? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
