turdjaw 5 Posted May 17, 2014 (edited) We've put up a second server, Epoch Origins on Taviana 3.0. Running off a smooth dedibox which was also recently upgraded. How to join1. Download the latest Epoch (1.0.5.1) patch via DayZCommander or from EpochMod.com2. Download DayZ Origins (1.7.8.5) from DayZCommander.3. You do not need to download Taviana separately, as 3.0 is part of the Origins mod itself.Skip to part 7 if you've already updated your game to the latest beta4. Go to your Steam library, right-click Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead.5. Go to the Beta tab, opt in to "-beta" (or something similar)6.

Add the IP below to your favourites and connect.... Server IP: 109.236.89.121:2335Teamspeak IP: ukss.eu Better Survival Feel- Loot amounts more like the ModLess fuel containers, most likely one to find is an empty JerryLess maps, tinned drinks & foodMore unlabeled cans, empty water bottlesLess chance of high-grade toolbelt items, especially away from barracksHigher chance of infection from self-bloodbag, plus option to consume bloodbag as last resort- Rarer weapons & items you either can't get from traders or are high-priced, stopping everyone getting them easily- Vehicles almost always need repairing or refuelling before going anywhere- Loadout is simply just one bandage and your own butt- Zombies can knock you over, like in the Mod- EVR Storms (blowouts) from Namalsk happening around 2 hours apart- No safezones, auto-refuel, donator perks, admin's little helpers, admin abuse, whining and no handouts- No tinned food at traders, only food available is fish, only drinks are energy drinks- No medical traders- No tents available at traders Add all this together and you actually fear dying, fear the elements, fear other players more, desire what they may have more and it takes a while to get around the map. We have other features too which are always being balanced towards both challenging and fun, and away from overpowered and boring. It's still meant to be DayZ on our server. There are ways of stumbling across higher-end vehicles & items, but you'd have to work, search and use your brains. Base building is always encouraged, we have some creative players already.

octocon 0 Posted June 1, 2014 Been playing this server for a couple of days and its probably the best server ive played in a while. Fun missions loads of unique features but still difficult. Limited food drink weapons. Earn your stuff but you can get rewarded big. Only made this account to get this server recognised. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
turdjaw 5 Posted August 15, 2014 - Fixed the dodgy animated heli crashes. Loot now sorted.- A few more subtle map edits- Possibility of rare vehicles on Sector B to fix up and take - usually ones not available at traders- Zombies can now knock you down, like in DayZ Mod- Zombies will now cause damage if attacking from close range much more often, rather than 1 in 8-10 times (the Epoch standard)- Removed paraspawning, due to pussies not opening the chute 30-40 times in a row in order to get a cushty spawn location, rather than running a few km or fixing up a car- Readded the old spawn selection screen, 4 locations to click on that choose from 15 spawn points in each corner of the map Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
