Day-Z Current position and planning thread

[ElektroVodka]

Just a few minutes after i dropped the dutch division at Skalisty and making a round with Ninja and Sniper we went back to the island to land and give ninja the control of the UH1.
But somehow when i was almost 2 meters from the ground, i see a guy spawn in right next to the chopper (External view) and immediatly Ninja emptied an entire clip on him, not harming him whatsoever, he started to shoot us with an AS50, while i was trying to take of and leave.... he switched weapon, then he started firing......All green tracers and tons of rounds whizzing by...... I turned around to get closer and he started firing again....taking out the engine so i ejected, made it to the ground alive and just when i was a Millimeter from his body to check his name he nailed me :S I did however heard him say die u hackers.... or something like it.

Oh the humanity.... yea...I had about 60 rnds in the 240.... me and Sniper made it back to Skalisty...I re looted my body.... I think Sniper picked up your stuff, not sure tho.... it was great fun...

 

[Ninja-n00b]

Well three kills yesterday....two murders and one bandit kill.... all with the AXE....got back to my body...gone.... made my way towards the island....logged out...but there was major Dsync....when i logged back in i was on the hill straight west of the PowerStation....as i was running...yes Duke across a open field by electro..i noticed a ghille suit... i yell over ingame chat.."hey sniper....just passing thru" and it was at this moment i was knocked out...then kicked from the game....I re logged in....same thing... knocked out...and kicked from the game...I go WTF...... so I checked...I had BF3 running... at the same time... I exited BF3...and logged back into 1579.... was knocked out... waited out the timer and it was ok...so I might have been getting kicked because I had BF3 running at the same time...so I got the the island...geared up...going back to get the choppa....

So any important changes since last weekend?

 

[Ninja-n00b]

yes, they fix the vehicle spawns....so where you save them is where they stay...

Choppah=healthy=quicky happy

 

[Ninja-n00b]

Wappy....as soon as you left the server, a whole bunch of people go teleported and killed...not all of them tho.. there were about 5 people left alive.. so not sure who was the culprit....

 

[Ninja-n00b]

The script kiddy took everyting...that's right everyting, The blue candy van i just fixed up...gone, I was close to camp....so i made my way there....gone...all the tents...

Oh by the way, I was sitting in the lobby, and watched a script kiddy kill the server, everyone left. ..he's smart tho....doesn't kill everyone, he leaves a few...

still axe killin

How about teaming up with a couple of other "guilds" and run a private server with a password. That will keep them out??? War against a couple of organized groups could be fun.

 

[ElektroVodka]

We can do that, however we will not be connected to any official hive as it isnt allowed to run private/locked servers on the main hive.
The solution would be to team up with several communities that play DayZ and make a central hive used by several closed servers.
I am on early shift so i'll check how easy it is to set up a hive server.

 

[ElektroVodka]

Checked some forums and it seems like there's already a group of clans/community's working on the same idea, might be an idea to either join them, or get our own private hive running before theirs is ready and playtest the shit out of it to assure it works and make that a fundation to help build our empire :-D

Having a private hive does give us more room to filter out the bad eggs.
For example, there's a 100 players registered on the hive, and only 2 of them have an AS50 TWS that makes it very plausible that theyre both scripters or at least friends so it makes it easy to just boot them until they come to the forum and explain.

To minimize the threat of hackers/scripters we could also use a whitelist, register before you get the password and the IP, use PID's in the hive to allow the whitelisted and block the players who just have the PW and are not on the whitelist yet.


AFAIK it's really simple to set up a Hive as it's just a MySQL DB server, and in that we can specify which and how many vehicles can/should spawn.
There's servers having 120+ vehicles at the same time (Bit of overkill if you ask me but well..)

I'll play around with the hive later today and if it works might even try to set up a test server for the game so others can check it's functions, and if any admin wants acces to the hive just sent me a pm and i'll set u up with an account for fooling 'round

 

[D.O.A.]

I like where this is going , i'm up for testing /adminning whenever I can .

 

[ElektroVodka]

Same here, seen some projects start from scratch just like this one....and they promised to be very succesfull....and so they were

Anyway i do think we still need to keep the official server which is connected to the official hive once we get the private stuff up and running.
Even if its just for generating traffic towards us trough advertising

 

[Ninja-n00b]

Hey if we do a server re start can some one get my blue van...it's just off the road on the way to Myshkino... when u turn off the main road to Myshkino.. north side of road...can't miss it...just off in the trees abit...
