mattlightfoot 2463 Posted September 26, 2012 Hi all,Just a quick update, I have spoken to several private have creators who are happy to start contributing to future server side updates, I am still trying to contact one or two more who have so far eluded me. Once I have managed to speak to everyone we will let the community vote on who they want to lead the community team. :)Regards,Matt 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Xuse 92 Posted September 26, 2012 No No, Private hives have been tweaking code to make the server more stable etc etc.. they wanna get everyoe together to make DayZ better as a whole. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lucid_wolf@hotmail.com 93 Posted September 26, 2012 But In the end it seems Private Hives will be the only ones standing... Or did I miss something? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
smKes 74 Posted September 26, 2012 Hey Matt ! As owner of Surviving The Horror with 5 private hive servers maybe we could talk some day aswell! //smKes 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
uniqueLOL 21 Posted September 26, 2012 Basically, people who run private hive servers usually tweak their server settings and the game itself so that it runs a lot better. The server-side tweaks these guys do are really working pretty well, and the DayZ staff would like to open up the community to share their settings to make the game overall a better game to play. This does not remove Public hives, this is basically an outcry to the community to lend a helping hand while they focus most/all of their energy towards the Standalone. I like this idea a lot, and I hope some really smart people begin helping out :) 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gustav Mahler 40 Posted September 28, 2012 Might be off topic, but perhaps posting your Skype username on a public forum isn't the best idea?Search "Matt Lightfoot" on skype. A Matt Lightfoot with the same picture shows up on the first page. Not sure how a user name to a mostly server side application is going to induce DDOS attacks anyhow...

QuartzOne 7 Posted October 18, 2012 to these who missed some point in it : Dev team is working on Standalone as hard as they can.but on the other hand they dont want to throw mod project since ppl had to pay for Arma II(there was enought whinin threads about it in the past) plus ppl want to play somethink while waiting for standalone.The way is : team up with private hive owners to keep the mod up so we wont get upset :).p.s. Cant wait for December to play standalone :thumbsup: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
