I've been playing on Zombies.nu private servers running DayZero mod. It's enjoyable, but there are a bit too many squads and teams moving around claiming all valuable loot and hoarding up vehicles. Still alot of fun stuff going on!

Just been on (names scott) was iin Elektro I think, checked 2 firestations and found a DMR in 1 and an M16A2 in the other. Gonna log back in later when its dark, to light atm for running around kept seeing people but luckily they were scared of my DMR and ran off.

I saw you. I play as Mossberg.

Alpha is not a release, it's only, at least, all features in. If it doesn't have all features in it's not even an alpha.

I played this a while ago - I started/owned DayZ UK #1 for a couple of months.

During this time I had all kinds of dramas with the server - it was quite unstable, I recieved very limited support from the DayZ team and ended up calling it a day as it all started to get a bit silly - paying a fair amount of wedge for a server I wasn't even allowed priviledged access to was ok while I wasn't being raged at by regulars because the server crashed several times a day and having to spend long hours trying to find a fix.

Ended up having passwords left on the server a couple of times after the dev team applied patches and returned from work to an inbox full of rage and decided to put an end to it - was getting ready to go back to afghan at the time and would've had to have someone else look after it anyway, so it was probably for the best.

Not played it since but really, really enjoyed it when I did - great idea and the ArmA style is superb. Will probably have a go at re-installing at some point! Would be interested in giving this another go.

Need help from those of us who have played Dayz, a week ago I joined a server Brains of Britain UK #2 vanilla, anyway the 2-3 clans on there have hidden all the vehicles they stole my off road which annoyed me to no end now I'm on a quest to find their camps and give them a good going over Freddy style.

So I've been searching all over the map yesterday around 9 hours and I found no vehicles I found a few random tents but these weren't from the clans that play there. I found no vehicles what so ever.

Where the fuck are people hiding them? They ain't on the map edges I walked all the way around the map yesterday and apart from a couple of tents I got nadda.

So searched Google and found out you can hide tents under water and in rocks went to a fee watering places and I did find 1 tent under water.

So vehicles, where on gods earth are they hiding them? I'm very eager for revenge.

 

[BloodOmen]

vehicles will be off the map somewhere, guaranteed.

 

[Aada]

They patched it ages ago you can't do that no more the vehicles are automatically destroyed when the server restarts and this server restarts every 3 hours.

no idea then, check barns/hangers/dense forests I guess, the more vehicles they have in 1 place the easier it should be to find them so just open up the map and see which forests are the most dense, eliminate the thin/small forests and look only to the larger ones.

..or play on a less shit server ? :|

 

[Aada]

Its a good server, very very active admins and its just been white listed the regular people are a laugh and there is no smack talk.

I can't blame them for taking it I mean who wouldn't? I just want revenge lol the problem is people don't hide their stuff on the boarders they are much more sneaky.

Guess I'll keep looking maybe do what Blood said and start marking off grids as I go.

Fine, if you hide off a chopper or some one veichle. But when people starts hoarding off every veichle and hiding it just kills gameplay and ruins the game for everyone.

If people did that on a server I had admin powers for I'd find said vehicles and blow them up so they respawned. Twattish thing to do, especially when you don't have enough people in your little gang to drive them all.

 

[fettoken]

Yeah. Servers I've been on, admins were present in this little gang and helped locate them, and stash them.

 

[Aada]

Well i don't agree with people using their admin powers, if you use them for that what else will you use them for?

You miss the point entirely

 

[Raven]

Takes something away from finding a big vehicle dump and blowing everything up. Or just stealing it all.

 

[BloodOmen]

Gameplay reveal

 

[Aada]

No vehicles on release a good thing I think get people going back to basics.

Also I liked the fence jumping.

 

[Mabs]

jumping zombies ? really ?
theyre bad enough as it is with side strafing and shit, will see how it pans out

 

[Raven]

I can't see that it has moved on from the original mod enough to bother with really.

 

[old.Tohtori]

Yeap, especially with the quality still being what it is. Compared to state of decay for example.

To be honest i've seen bigger mod updates(which this is) on skyrim

 

[Mabs]

while i wouldnt argue with that, im hoping that the server/tech stuff is where most of the initial work is, with the anti cheat etc..
the content can come later

 

[throdgrain]

The new zombies on todays patch are a nightmare, I don't like it to be honest. They come through doors fast, you can't get away from them. Hope they change it back.

The tent/car duping is back as well, a step back.

 

[Coldbeard]

The zombie jump attack thing looked ... annoying.

 

[BloodOmen]

yea not really sure why they added a jump to zombies, already bad enough that theres so many of them without having them potentially bugging through walls by jumping.
