DDB Noob Server News

Howdy Gents,

I've been busy working on some config changes on the DAYZ server and I thought I should post a little information on the recent changes.

Whats New?
- Stats - the leaderboard stats are a bit skewed with AI kills being counted as player kills (bandits + survivor kills = murders). So be aware that npc kills are being counted to your totals.
-Server is now on a Veteran setting with map markers enabled. This means that you have an indicator of your current location on the map and spotted vehicles and such.  Nameplates are off - so you shouldn't be able to spot players/vehicles from 500m with your crosshairs floating over them.
- Added a couple of new locations (bare bones at the moment)
- survivor refugee camp
- military camp
- new structures (one is pretty hard to miss)
- Air Raids. Yes the military are now randomly bombing cities around the map! Just look for the "spotter" heli floating overhead...and if you hear sirens....RUN!

Whats Gone?
-Removed the secret lab, dogs and cargo lift scripts. These were causing more issues than they were worth. I'll look at them in the future, but they are gone for now.

Whats Coming?
-Heros/Bandits will get the ability to self-bloodbag
-Player camps - these are camps in various areas of the map that have some little extras to use if you can find them (i.e. permanent campfire, camo netting)
-Player protected zones (wip) - these are additions to the player camps. AI will be added to the camp and will not shoot the camps "owner" but everyone else is fair game.

With the standalone alpha due out next month - some or none of the "Whats Coming" may happen

Sorry for the delay gents..."All Time" metrics have been removed due to a database purge skewing the results...

28 DAYZ L8R Server Offline 17/04/2013 times

Fellow DAYZers,

The 28 DAYZ L8R server will be off-line for maintenance on the 17/04/2013 from approx 5pm to 12 pm AET.

There will be various bug fixes and some "additions" to the server that will require frequent reboots.

During this time a password will be applied to the server and will be removed once testing is complete.

Current players, tents, vehicles will be retained.

Cheers

NOOB Server is no more....NOW 28 DAYZ L8R

 

Howdy fellow zombie fodder!

This post is to highlight the number of changes that the DDB DAYZ server has gone through in the last couple of weeks....
Most importantly the server name has changed to reflect the growing skills of our regular player base.

The new name is AU DDB 28 DAYZ L8R [VET+MAP+GUN] ect... (IP is 192.154.99.18:2302)

The server "setting" is basically 28 days after the infection...government has broken down, but there are remnants of the military around the map attempting to survive....power is still on but very unreliable...(this will help new players at night).

Remember to favourite us so we are easier to find in DAYZ Commander / PlaySix.

First up: Tents are fixed! BOOYA! Hero /Bandit changes causing spawning into the ocean is also fixed!!

The server is now running in Veteran difficulty - so that map marker & nameplates are no more...(zeds are also a little more difficult).  Starting loadout remains the same (Map, Bandage, Flashlight, Painkiller & Makarov).

NPCs

Yes - the rumours are true...there is now AI active on the server.  I don't want to give two much away but there are three factions (survivors, bandits & military) that may or may not be friendly to players....

TIP: you can get blood transfusions from AI heros to help the solo survivors (and the odd noob)!

 Wow - thats awesome! Whats next?

Glad you asked! I'm still working on some fantastic (I think so anyways) additions to the server such as...

- Strongholds - in addition there will be certain locations around the map that will spawn good gear and vehicles...but you're going to have to fight for it!
- Leaderboard loadouts (long time coming) - top player will win a custom fresh spawn loadout that will be better than the standard...
- Super Hero / Super Villan  - like to help or hinder your fellow players? well soon the humanity system will mean even more...achieve Super Hero status and recieve the ability to self-administer blood!  If you're more the evil type...Achieve Super Villan status and you'll recieve you're very own "companion"...details to follow...

More to follow...

Cya in Chernarus!
