What do yu want in DayZ servers these days?

[sneakydudes 278]

I am just curious about everyones thoughts on what they want in a server these days.

 

1. I would like to PVP, PVE and mix it up with the zombies.

2. I like to find rare items, and search new locations.

3. I like to scout for other players and take over there stashes.

4. Able to group up with my Squad mates and cause havoc around the map.

5. I want loads of zombies chasing you around the map and hordes of them walking around the terrain.

6. I also want to have a good 100+ players on the map to 500+

7. I want stats too

 

Most of all i like to have a good solid 1st/3rd person, Persistence On (when working), Private, but willing to keep public alive, Server.

 

What do you like? Explain.

 

Sneaks

 

P.s screwed up the title ment "you not Yu" sorry

Persistence will be fixed next week wednesday at the new stable branch update.

Are you sure? so many bugs to fix I doubt it will be ready

[Mookie (original) 799]

An end to admins abusing the public hive, mis-describing their servers, kicking people, and all the rest of it please.

 

Oh yeah, and real persistence...

[sneakydudes 278]

@mookie you will have your wish in time.

I cc on abuse. Why they should purchase private and play all by themselves. Not abuse it to play around on public.

 

Persistence would be cool.

[chompster 171]

Persistence.

Yes I am sure. Central Loot will be implemented. So that points out persiste nce fixes aswell.

But Eugene said its almost ready. But it would be IG at 0.56

I know this is not realistic but trade screen would be great like the one we have it in Diablo 2, both of the parties can see what we are trading and click ok to initiate trade. 

[IReadTheAgreement 313]

If I could have true persistence I'd be so happy.  Other than the 500+ on a server and the stats I agree with the original points made.  The map just isn't big enough to make 500+ enjoyable, and to me DayZ should never have stats.

That's not gonna change the fact they wipe persistence with Wednesday matinence. Plus not really sure what you mean by fix as its not really broken. Centralized loot may make all servers persistent which is great but I'd still expect server wipes fairly regularly. Also pretty skeptical if. 55 is gonna go stable next week I think that's just wishful thinking.

Nah nah, once everything is setup, there will be no server wipes. They won't wipe servers because:

 

1) There will be no more bugged loot zones.

2) Items will have decay, so the old items will disappear overtime.

[thewire 88]

so when is the battle royale when the 0.55 is coming? 

 

So when the .55 coming, all character will have a clean wipe right? 

 

Battle royale soon! 

[Parazight 1599]

Mandatory Persistence.  Even if it would mean frequent wipes, minimal loot, no events, and whatever.

 

Endgame spawnpoints.  Would like to see player spawn points finalized.  Basically, I want to spawn on the map wherever I may spawn when the final product is released.  I think adjusting spawn points for metrics each update release isn't the best approach.   

 

 

These two things together is what I am looking forward to the most.  I believe that once these two systems are in place, devs will be able to evaluate environment/loot balance properly.

[HarryPotter (DayZ) 172]

What do I want?

1) less kos

2) no teamspeak/skype etc

3) more RP

4) less loot

5) less military stuff

6) more players on a map

I'd settle for zeds that can't walk through walls....

[Mookie (original) 799]

And for cryin'-out-loud, add a unified server reporting system with a 'panic button' built into all public servers.  Perhaps a memory bank that stores recent player data, being written over every five or so minutes; not for keeping record of OGM YOLO WOBO shit, but just for recording and verifying abuse, and sending it to the host.  This way, if anything hinky happens, we can hit the WTF button and the server will dump the last couple minutes of player data.

 

If this game makes it to beta with such piss-poor enforcement of Public Server TOS, BI should expect a class-action.

 

Now we're cooking with gas. That's a great idea (not that you won't get some crap for suggesting it....)

[Jesus Christ The Goblin 71]

All I want is for the public server ban lists to be cleared and admins to be punished when they ban people for no reason.
Even if we report public servers for banning people without reason it still doesn't clear the ban list so their servers are still pretty safe.

 

I know this is not realistic but trade screen would be great like the one we have it in Diablo 2, both of the parties can see what we are trading and click ok to initiate trade. 

It would be cool if it was some kind of gesture like a handshake so both characters had to do the gesture to avoid annoying trade requests.

You guys need to play on Welcome to the Jungle, we don't abuse stuff like other owners, we have admins in game 80% of the time, we are waiting for persistence to get fixed then we are opening a private server. It's really appalling to read about people who have bad experiences with certain servers, I it's....if your going to run a server, why use it as your own loot stash just to kick and ban people??? The only people that get banned on our server are those who we have ample evidence of hacking and BI have verified that they are hacking, THEEEEN we add them our ban list. So when I read things like "clear the ban list" I just can't help but feel sorry, and then pissed because if we can have a server in the top 10 and follow the rules, then what the hell are these other people doing and why haven't they been shut down yet????

/rant

I would for zeds to be fixed, persistence working fully, server "events" such as the ghost train traveling down the coast so you can hop a ride, I would like different seasons and last but not least, I would like to see an implementation of hero vs bandit, nothing flashy, but kind of like in Fable, but then you get into KOS vs not to KOS based on somebodies appearance blah blah blah

A lot of similar wishes in this thread and mine are not so different.

 

- larger maps

- increased players

- more events

- persistence

- Increased zed numbers

- simple stats system (z kills, life span, etc) It would give you milestones to aim for.

 

As a server owner myself on the public hive i find it really crappy to hear how many people are complaining about bad admins. Me personally I want the server I pay for to be used and full with people, I mean after all isn't that why you make the investment in the first place? 

 

I dont understand the appeal in having a hissy fit and kicking and banning people because you as the admin can't handle the heat or the consequences of your own bad decisions? I have been on the receiving end of this before and it pisses me off!

 

Unfortunately there will always be people who abuse the system and I don't personally see how to put an end to it.

If they cleared ban lists every month or few months it would at least allow you to rejoin that server one day and actually record the false ban the second time.

However I don't see that happening so there will be no end to it.

 In my case we were not banned we just boycotted the server at this point.

 

We pretty much got to drop on two of the admins as they looted a military base. While trying to find my mate sniping / over watch in the trees I light one up like a christmas, the second guy is chasing me but running right into a trap as we had another person in position to cover my retreat.

 

before you know everyone on the server is being booted.... sore losers I don't even want to play and support these server, so we don't ;)

Server Requests:

1. Clear concise server naming conventions.

2. More details on server settings inside of the 'Details' panel. Day/Night Cycle, Persistence, Weather ON/OFF, etc.

3. More filter options for server browser

4. Server admin/host accountability system. For tracking abuse.

5. Raised population limit. (this will obviously continue to be reaised)

Gameplay Requests (Server Specific):

1. Game Events! Zombie Hoard (100+) is moving towards Elektro for example. No server message or anything for these events ofcourse.

2. More diverse weather conditions/seasonal changes.

3. More diverse ambient sound pool.

Should this post be in 'Suggestions' instead of 'General Gameplay'?

Game events will be great, if the game decides to go moding, if that is... we could run scripts to run events like in arma3. Not saying its perfect, just saying sometimes those events with AI can be fun.

 

Weather is a huge plus, especially the moon. Did you see the moon? I am still looking for it. :)

 

 

and most of all

Thanks BB for keeping this topic clean.
