List of offical servers (or a way to identify offical servers)

Recommended Posts

Hi!

As far as my IRC talk went yesterday in #DayZ, I didn't get reliable way to check if the server is offical (connected to the main hive) or not. Why do you think I think it's a necessary feature to have?

Yesterday me and my pals were playing on DE 333... as the night came in and server started to run empty from people we switched to DE 304 (everything good so far).

Later that night when DE 304 also kinda "died" and only few guys were on it, we agreed to switch servers again and chose SE 6. After the loading screen and to my surprise, I was standing on a beach having only the starting stuff... after the first panic moment I was starting to switch servers to find my gear and it was only there on DE 304 and DE 333 servers.... so I thought to myself WTF? Those DE servers looked like officals.. they had server names like every other offical server, they had spawnspots like normal servers etc... Why do I think that they were unoffical? Cause that's the only reasons I could think of for losing my gear in other servers and still having it there... There's only one hive right?

So what I'm proposing, is that DayZ stuff would reveal the list of all official servers. So the players can make sure, that they play on a official server without trying to figure it out from server hoping.

Official servers have "@hive" under the "Expansions" section.

All the mentioned servers have @hive under the Expansions section... So i'm considering all of them being offical... What could be the reason for char not saved to other server then?

Bugs, different Hive versions. All kinds of problems :P

So there are separate hives? How can I know which one is the latest (so I wouldn't lose my stuff when the old ones switch to the new version of hive?)

You can't really know which hive version the server has. It's up to the host.

Just try to make sure the servers you play on have the same beta patch and script version (also, don't wear ghillie suits, they're bugged on older hive versions, making you lose your progress).

DayZ stuff should know which hive versions server run...

I'd still like that list (also including current hive versions etc)

It's up to the server host to update their hive, not the DayZ staff.

I don't think there's a list out there with all the server hive versions.

hello there

Also, be aware that any person running a server can make a @hive folder, it wont definitely mean its an official one.

You can call your addon folders whatever you wish, I remember seeing one called something like @myhiddenpornstash.

That's what I'm telling you... they should make the list (should be rather easy to make it actually, just an DB dump with correct params)
