Server lists and settings.

[hedich 0]

would be awesome if there would be some official server naming policy

so we could find servers ALOT faster instead of having to go thru a long list

for example: DayZ - CountryCode - version - 3dp:1/0 ch:1/0 Difficulty (Host)

i know there are filters but they dont really help that much.

its a pain in the ass to find servers atm and once you find one its already full and you have to start over again.

There is an official server naming policy, many haven't switched over though.

i know there used to be something like that with the time of day some servers had UTC+ or - 5 IDK maybe they were forced to take it off cause IT WASN"T REALISTIC....one of the many over used terms for this community

scratch that i thought you were talking something else yaaa i think most have a similar format to your exact example....some are called US and FR or BRA while others are specific places in the US (SE DALLAS TX) soo uh what are you asking for exactly since they already follow a similar format.

there are some yes but most of them don't even list any settings, and in a game where it can take up to 5-8min to get in game only to find a setting you don't like is a pain,

me for example cant play without 3dp i get claustrophobic (spelling?) as hell in first person mode and find it hard to know/see what stance iam in.

FYI, the "official" naming convention, which has been posted to the server admin google group, by the dev team is:

DayZ - Location ID (version/beta buildnr) [difficulty][timezone] dayzmod.com - hosted by Customtext

DayZ - Location ID OptionalCity (version/beta buildnr) [difficulty][timezone] dayzmod.com - hosted by Customtext

Location = Country code (US,UK,RU,etc)

As for difficulty, you should enter REGULAR, VETERAN, EXPERT or similar.
If you got a custom setting you want to mention that differs from standard ,then use the following:
3DP:ON            <-- thirdperson on
3DP:OFF          <-- thirdperson off
CH:ON             <-- crosshair on
CH:OFF           <-- crosshair off
RP                   <-- roleplay server

Currently, many haven't switched over, but a few devs have expressed that they will probably just blacklist all of the servers that don't switch over within a timely period (I've heard 2 weeks suggested).
