**** New Official DayZ Thread *****

i did have a base.....got blew up.............. so decided not to build and just carry on my usual gaming, jealous types and such :p
 
Yeah the time it takes to harvest and build a base, compared to how easy it is to take one down isn't worth it.

Until they add in something difficult to destroy all buildables remain indestructible on our server.

However I have an idea on how to make the current system take much less damage but I'm not sure if thats the way to go.

At present its 1satchel for wood walls and 3 for cinder. Of course in real life thats more than enough but there is a fine line between realism and boring as hell in a game.

I think for the time it takes to build it should take at least 6 satchels to breach a base. Maybe even more. It should be as financially costing for the attackers resource wise as it is for the base being destroyed, so people cant just dump a heli on a base or use one satchel.

Its also too easy to dupe in DayZ as well.. so you have to factor that in.

Hard thing to balance really.
 
They need to be left in to destroy vehicles/ambushes but they need to do no damage to bases and there should be a different kind of breaching system.

Again the problem with persistent bases, even the people with the most time on their hands cant protect it 24/7.

Over night players from America while us from the EU are sleeping can easily destroy everything and its not plausible for a persistent game to not have a larger saving mechanic or people get fed up and decide not to bother.

We work on an inactivity system done by registered bases on the forum, month to month.

Hopefully Epoch will make their maintain system base wide at a click so its left down to players to not lose their base to inactivity, looking into making that work myself. Understanding this coding malarky much better lately.

I know it's annoying fighting for a slot on the server, but apart from that annoyance it's completely understandable how that community has reacted to recent events.
See it like Ronnie O'Sullivan walking into a snooker club and shouting "who wants a few frames with me?".

Do you want to discuss it on our forums, or just post stuff on here? Can't exactly help you with any issues unless we know about them.

We've not had any 'names' join our server and we're struggling with spots aswell when not whitelisted. Not complaining but theres been a huge knock on affect from Psi and Frankie doing videos.

Around 400 new servers sprung up from it to.

I know, tried to get in CPC earlier to relocate my safe from the place where my base once stood. That kinda rhymes.

I'm aware of the positive effect the youtubers have had on both MGT and Epoch servers collectively. However, logically it's equally possible that the aforementioned youtubers could Plug a different mod which causes a similar effect for it that Epoch enjoyed.

I've seen it all before on more than a few occasions, and it's for those reasons I'd urge server owners not to take their regulars, and demand for places on their server...for granted. It more often than not comes back to bite you on the backside.

We don't make room for anyone, it's first come first served. If you want in on the server you have to be there at restart time or hammer the enter button in the MP menu, even I can't get on as we took off admin reserved slots because of the red text side chat spam.
 
its all going to be short lived anyway so lap it up while you have it.

the vanilla mod will have all the new aspects and more than all the mods soon as it shoehorns you in ready for the standalone.

server owners arnt going to like it though as a lot make a lot of money from selling guns and packages which they wont be able to do soon :cool:

all content is locked even to admins and no server live tools will be available either. man that day im going to drink champagne :D

even playing field and no abuse exploitation plus better features than all the mods . :cool: the way dayz should be from the start.

And nor should you. As annoying as it is not being able to connect to one's favorite servers, I wouldn't want to see it any other way than the way you already have it. I guess it's the socialist in me.

Of course, and I'm sure most are with me on this, I have no objection to kicking idlers after a certain length of time.

I'll put my money on it flopping thanks to the whining spoiled brat, Rocket.

As for servers making money....have you realised the amount of time and effort those guys put in into making and running a server? If anyone begrudges them getting a bit of reward in return needs to spend a day in their shoes. As long as monies received are voluntary donations, and the rewards for donating are also achievable without donating, then I'm all for them.
 
some people are getting upto 500 a month that's not covering costs and its selling stuff you don't own ! its not even allowed lol.

that's why its all being locked off. to stop exploitation of the game. also when renting a lot of servers you can have tools which show where you are live streaming 24/7. all this isn't in standalone.

im all for getting donations in to cover cost but profiting from exploiting is a ****take.

what you must remember yes a lot of people put in large amounts of time but so do many other admins of many other games and have don for years you dont charge for it .

go on any private hive server in dayz watch what admins and related clans groups have always have best gear guaranteed no longer will this be dayz from standalone. gunna be uproar good ! :cool:
 
if you look i was on about how the vanilla will very very soon have all of what mods like epoch try to do as standard.
