read that is heavy alpha and unless you want to be really into testing, crashing etc not worth it at this time.    Planning to wait.

Looks good.  What do we need to run our own private server of this?

unfortunately they haven't released server side settings yet for it. The company is only hosting servers on their own behalf.
All the servers we have to play on are in Canada.

You can host a private hive... the server files are on the forum.... BUT its just that... a private hive... they arent doing whitelisted private servers yet. So your char on a private hive is specific to just that server, and seperate from the white listed hives (and vice versa)... so right now if you play on the whitelisted servers you char is shared amongst all those servers. The only downside right now is that for some odd reason there are no US servers... my thought is that it prolly has something to do with a copyright law/infringement or something of the like, but hard to say.... I may contact the server dev and ask about US servers...

We play on a canadian server which averages about a 90 ping, which I normally wouldnt play on a ping that high as a 90 ping in  arma is like a 300-400 ping in most other games....but because its a specialized expansion mod, it is optomized even further than the normal arma and I have to say the 90 ping server to me plays just as well as say a 40-50 ping normal server would.... with that being stated id still like to see what a us server would play like with a ping around 20-50

with this mod and arma3 there is literally no reason to play the dayz standalone as of right now... it has absolutely everything standalone does and more(aside from the "fancy" ui)... it plays way better, and as of right now unlike standalone it is fully optomized... I rip a constant 60 frames while streaming... standalone averages 25.

Anyone can check my stream for gameplay... there are quite a few good firefights too, but I have yet to crop them out of the stream reels, so youd have to watch the entire streams to find them. But I'll crop em out soon and add em to my youtube collection.
