It depends; I'm not really sure how the loot system works. Is loot "finite" on a server? How does loot respawn?

If it hasn't changed in awhile, then it's infinite, but only spawns when a character is within a certain distance of the spawner itself. Works off of percentage based loot tables, so you're not always getting the same items every time.

If enough people show interest then I'll look into hosts again.

i dont think, lets say, $1 would make you more broke, but if everyone that played on it donated a single dollar a month, it'd probably pay itself easily.
Also, I'm in for tents existing. The dupe nature of it is what bugs me a lot. I also dislike global hive.

Has Rocket actually confirmed that people will be able to host SA servers? I'd like to imagine the server hosts know what they are talking about. If so, I'd be willing to chip in some money get a server up and running and help pay some of the future costs.
They should degrade after a certain amount of time or be destroyed a short time after the owner dies, which would prevent them from gearing up right off spawn (which is half of the game).
His complaints stem from the fact that way back when you could just dupe everything in the tent every time the server reset (though this has since been fixed), making it easier to gear up upon death or inflating the high-end weapon market on any server or - if on an official server, the hive itself.

I might have something of interest if we want to play dayz. I was checking the dayz forum just now and I found this server: http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?...hitlist-daily-eventsbountys-now-with-uk2-uk3/
And the same guy made this thread: http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/131434-bandits-wanted/
Has anyone here had any experience with these servers and the people running it? It sounds like a good place to hang around until SA comes out, and they're even asking for bandits to join their server.

Origins wouldnt be so bad if the military spawns didnt suck on default Tavi.

Rocket just posted this on Reddit
Sounds like they're trying hard to make sure you can't dupe the game. I like it
I've just a few weeks ago, and did a lot of discovering. Since yesterday finally teaming up with a RL friend and someone we met on the server. And it is sure freaking awesome. Not knowing who to trust, trying to discover all kind things on the map.
Only that needs taking care of is some of the weird glitches. I already had 2 death's due glitches / mistakes in the game. For example I was jumping over a couch in a building and that moment I clipped trough the roof and ended up the building with broken legs... And the animations for climbing up and down on the stairs needs to be quicker.
But all in all it's sure pretty awesome. Hopefully the standalone doesn't fuck up.

The wait on the full game is killing me man. I knew Rocket was lying when he said he could get it out at the end of the year. I just saw no way possible with such a small development team and only working on it for a few months. I hope we get it by the end of summer. That would be great.
He did say it was possible they would release it as alpha and just keep building on it. I can't imagine that's far off it true.
DayZ is one of the most unique experiences I've had in gaming for years. My first night in it I remember starving and dying on a night server. I decided to go in a lighthouse because it was pitch black in that server. Did an SOS signal with flashlight and someone off the coast responded. I was full of fear not knowing what to expect. Then he came and gave me food+soda. That game was so hardcore that you could actually use the stars to navigate your position for people who understand survival techniques like that.

They weren't lying. The original plan was to just package the mod into a single exe and sell that.
They changed those plans though and now we get a completely new game.

Oh shit I never knew that. Thank god they chose not to.
Well, thankfully they went this route then.
I agree, I'm glad they didn't do that we would have all been disappointed.
The only complaint I commonly hear which I slightly agree with is not using the Arma III engine.
Of course, when they started work on the Standalone, Arma III was still being worked on. It didn't even hit alpha until a few months ago, the engine was a far cry away from a stable build back in the end of 2012.
By the way, if you guys want a source for that I believe I sourced it somewhere in the last couple pages.

Hold on to your pants everyone, got some "relatively" exciting news coming up in a bit.
Jesus, E3 announcements of announcements are even penetrating this thread!
Go on...

Well, I was hoping to have a few details to share before I shared the news, but I'll add the details later. I can announce that the GAF DayZ server is coming back!
I'm still fully geared up less than 500 meters from the camps at Stary. My body is several different shades and flavors of ready.
Drakon island base anyone?
Disable 3rd person, please!

I'm not the server owner, NiX is the actual owner, and as far as I know, no decisions have been made on exactly what options will be on and off etc.
Soooo Nix could add whatever he wants to the map right? Like say Utes? Maybe that huge ass bridge from Tavi? Oh and the sweet dynamic heli crash sites.
If I could get my hands on the DayZ mission files I would be happy to mess with it myself, but I have no idea where everyone keeps getting them and editing them.

Yes, this is possible. I also believe we have dynamic heli crashes on our server.
The server hosting company gives exact directions on how to edit the map to include new vehicles and buildings.
Ours will be private.
Still having issues getting it setup. Waiting for their tech support to reply again.
I am now fully erect.

I miss playing with you guys. And the pain in the ass that it is to meet up with all of you on the server.
That's another thing I hate is going on a hike for 2 hours to get to people haha.

I kill you all. I'm a chaged man. No more mercy.
I haven't played DayZ in a bit, but have been playing some ARMA II wasteland recently. If we actually get a server going, I'd be happy to start playing again. I miss all the old DayZ guys...
God no! I get such a bad frame rate in first person
