lvlagic 25 Posted January 24, 2015 It's depressing when you spawn a fresh character only to search every house in the vicinity and not find any food, or you get sniped or killed on sight when you dont even have anything worth stealing, or you go to a military base to pick yourself up some protection but when you got there the cupboards were bare, but the bushes were full of bandits.. Them's the pitfalls of Public Server Dayzing i'm afraid, so we have set up a new private shard which aims to help eliminate the frustrations of playing public servers and falling victim to server hopping, loot farming, KOS bandits! We obviously can't control what people choose to do, but players on our server are encouraged to play with a little decorum and help those that need help, but by the same token show no mercy to those that oppose them! Sqauds are welcome to claim territory, but must inform unwitting trespassers via the medium of a messenger they are not welcome to give them the opportunity to decide whether to make a tactical retreat or take their chances and continue. Messengers take the form of players unarmed and in their vest and pants and as the old saying goes, don't shoot the messenger!! The idea is that there is no point in killing an unarmed player with no gear to loot, but should we get some itchy trigger finger halfwits that do despatch a messenger then at least all their gear is safe with the rest of their squad till they can spawn and find their way back. Once a squad has claimed a town they are fair game to be assulted by another squad that knows they are there and want's to take the town for themselves, at this point the gloves are off and anything goes. The server has 4 hour restarts and as its all a bit too buggy right now, persistance is set to off. So there should be enough loot to go round for everyone. We would like to think that an "ask questions first, shoot later" policy will manifest itself in our regular players, but please do remember to defend yourself at all times, and as it the way with the human race, trust nobody!

krazypenguin 174 Posted January 24, 2015 Server IP: 109.70.149.42:2300 or just search for NO BULLSHITSee you out there. Magic Thanks for the server - I probably spent about 6 hours on there today and had a great time. IMO 1PP, private, persistence-off servers offer the most rewarding DayZ experience. I just finished off my session by bumping into a guy at the Olsha radio mast, just to the East of the NEAF - we ended up meeting his friend in the middle of the runway and all did the hello dance then exchanged some gear. Nice guys like that make the game worth playing and servers like yours are the best place to meet them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eno 1049 Posted January 24, 2015 Hmmmm. Very interesting! I'll keep my eye open. Perhaps some room for a Chez Eno here? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nice guys like that make the game worth playing and servers like yours are the best place to meet them. This makes it all seem worthwhile..! We had been playing on our server for 4 days and although there had been a smattering of people on and off, we had not actually encountered anyone in the flesh as it were. Last night we decided to find a public server for a couple of hours in the hope of seeing another player or two. Suffice to say it was a disheartening experience. I played 3 hours, very nearly starving to death due to lack of loot, i'd been soaked, cold and beaten by zombies and travelled to the NWAF to find some nice and durable clothes to survive in. I carefully made my way up the airfield, tree to tree, there were 3 undisturbed zombies which led me to believe the area was clear of people otherwise they would have been dead. I despatched said zombies with my trusty sledgehammer and as i finished off the 3rd one a player appeared from the barracks building the zombie had been pretty much outside. There's me in my bright yellow rain coat, skate helmet, ripped jeans and pink trainers, sledge hammer in hand.. There's him in his full military clothes AK in hand.. I am clearly no threat, alls i wanted was a new jacket and some nice trousers and boots from tent city, maybe have a little conflab with him, i had plenty of food to share and then be on my merry way.. I shouted "dont shoot dont shoot" through the mic but still instantly suffered a clips worth of damage from an AK. 3 hours well wasted. The fact there were zombies scattered all outside the building he was in suggests he either spawned in there and was server hopping to farm loot or he had been in there for quite some time and was just waiting for someone to turn up. Either way a very sad individual that taints my view on this game. Fair enough, if you have a chat and things go south, you're both armed, it's holocaust survival, shots get fired and people die.. No problem with that, but at least try and enter in to some sort of spirit of the game, have a little bit of honour. Anyways, nice to know someone is enjoying our server! Hopefully the coming weeks will see a few more regulars build up and with it some interesting alliances and of course feuds and conflicts will develop :) Oh, and yes, there's always room for a little bit of Eno, so long as you have washed your gooch and dont drive the V3S in an anti-social manner after dark that is ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lvlagic 25 Posted January 25, 2015 Oh, and we are using the iZurvive map app on the iPad to liase positions with other players. We have set up a group within the app called: -NO BULLSHIT- You can join the group and add your player position and see other players positions and meeting points, tents, vehicles etc etc. PM me for the password for the group if you would like to join. The map looks like this with player positions and meeting points added: 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
