SURVIVE - Melkart

Saturday 19th March 2022 & Sunday 20th March 2022 / 3pm GMT to 6.45pm GMT

SURVIVE is a new duos survival/pvp event based on the original Survivor GameZ concept from 2012 by Brian Hicks and SOMA.

40 players, 20 teams (2 players in each team), one starting location, no team colours, no matching starting outfits, no respawns when you die.

Communicate privately with your team mate, play it tactical, play it aggressive, play it how you want.

The one aim is to SURVIVE


The format

The event runs as follows:

Event starts at 3pm GMT (time will be set to 05:00am in game).

Players will start in a large circular formation in their pairs and can choose to run into the centre circle to try and grab some basic starting loot when the event starts.  Alternatively, players can get the hell out of the spawn area as quick as possible to start looting houses, cars, etc.

There is a 15 minute no PVP rule to let people get on their way but once the time hits 05:15am on the in-game watch, it’s game on!

Do what you have to do to survive. Making sure you have enough food and drinks will be critical so if you need to fish or hunt, do it when you can.

You might try to form an alliance with another team if it will mean you can progress to the later stages but trusting people can be a dangerous game to play!

At 06:30am (in game), all players need to be in the first play zone as marked on the in-game map (Hit M). When you step into a zone, a message and crossed swords icon will appear. If you’re about to leave the zone, you will see a warning message and the icon will disappear.

You need to stay in this zone for 15 mins at least. When the 15 mins is up, a message will tell you that you can leave the zone.

Players then have 45 mins to get to zone 2 as marked on the map.

At 07:30am (in-game), all players have to be in zone 2 for another 15 mins at least.

Once this zone is over, players then have 30 mins to get to the final zone at 08:15am (in-game) where there can only be one team or individual standing.

Players will be informed when it becomes a 1 team vs another situation to bring the event to a close.

Oh yeah, players that go for kills and don’t hide in houses for 3 hours will be rewarded for their bravery. The top 3 death bringers will be eligible to receive some SURVIVE merch designed and supplied by HappyBombs.

FAQ

WHAT HAPPENS IF MY PARTNER DIES?

If players lose a team mate, they can play the event as a solo or attempt to team up with other fellow survivors out there. Only one of you can survive at the end so how you end it will have to be decided between yourselves. Trusting people in SURVIVE is dangerous!
If you do team up with others, you can only use in-game VOIP with them.

IS ANYONE SHOUT-CASTING THE EVENTS?

Yes, Twitch.tv/HappyBombs and Twitch.tv/Joshua.


ARE THERE TOXIC ZONES OR TOXIC BOMBARDMENTS?

No, these have been removed.

CAN WE USE TEAMSPEAK OR SOMETHING ELSE DIFFERENT TO DISCORD?

Yes, you can choose between yourselves what to use to communicate with. There are however, team discord voice channels set up in the ZERO EVENTS channel in the ZERO DIscord which you can use  

CAN WE USE ARMBANDS?

You can but the watch you start with that indicates the time on screen, takes up the armband slot. If you remove the watch, you’ll have to keep your own time-keeping some other way. Be late to a zone and you will be kicked.

ARE THERE ANIMALS AND ZOMBIES ON THE MAP?

There are both but the zombies will be reduced in numbers slightly compared to Vanilla. Wolves and bears will still be out there so be careful.

WHAT TYPE OF LOOT WILL BE OUT THERE?

Everything you find on the ZERO servers so some custom clothing, backpacks, ghillies, gun skins and a few modded guns and scopes. Some of the more powerful guns like the 7.62 or 308 rifles will be tricky to find as will some long range scopes. They will be out there but not in huge numbers. Heli-crashes will also be active so keep an ear out.

WHAT IF I DON’T MAKE IT TO THE ZONE ON TIME?

It’s up to you to manage your time in the event so if you don’t make it on time, you will be disqualified and kicked from the server by an event admin.

I’M BUGGED…..WHAT SHOULD I DO?

The event will have a whitelist so only event players will be able to join the server. Re-log as soon as you can or when its safe to do so.

CAN I HAVE MY TWITCH CHAT UP WHILST I PLAY IN THE EVENT?

No. The chat meta in these type of events can get crazy and can spoil the whole thing. The best thing we can do to make it fair for everyone is to ask everyone to hide their chats.

ANY PRIZES UP FOR GRABS?

I wish I could give out prizes but unless we get some sort of sponsor for these events, it’ll have to be some of my finest invisible bath water :D

Players that go for the kills and don’t hide in houses for 3 hours will be rewarded for their bravery. The top 3 death bringers will be eligible to receive some SURVIVE merch designed and supplied by HappyBombs. 

True Colours - Banov

Sunday 2nd January 2022 / 3pm GMT Start


‘True Colours' is a 48 player (6 teams of 8) DayZ team PVP event using in-game voip only. 

Players have no idea who is on their team or where they have spawned. As players start looting and travelling inland to get to their first zones, they start to meet other players and maybe others who are actually on their team.

Loot up together, fight together but hopefully, don’t die together!

To win, you'll need to survive and be the last team or individual standing after playing across different areas within the DayZ map.

If you die, you are out.

How the event works

The event is split out over 3-main play zones with in-between phases being an opportunity to take out opposing team members or go looting for more supplies.

The first 90 minutes is a looting up phase with no PVP.
If you die to zombies in the first 90 minutes, you can respawn BUT you still have to make it to your first zone ON TIME! If you don't, you will be disqualified and kicked from the game.

After 90 minutes, 3 teams meet up in one town/area, with the other 3 teams meeting close by in another town/area.
This will be their first phase areas. Players are informed before the event of their team colour, where they need to be and at what time.

For the first round, players will only be able to use pistols and smoke grenades for the 15 minute phase.
They must not leave the play restricted area during this time as marked by orange and white cones.

When the 15 minutes are over and indicated with an in-game message, teams can leave their town/area and switch to whatever guns they like. 
PVP is now active at all times until the event is over.

All players then have 60 minutes to get to the second arranged restricted play zone where all survivors from the pistols phase meet for this first time.

The teams will have another 15 minutes to fight in the restricted zone before leaving and moving to the final play area.

They will have another 60 minutes to get there.

Once the final phase begins, it’s now a fight to death. If there is no winner after 15 minutes, all remaining players will be asked to move into a smaller marked area to bring the event to a dramatic close. This is towards the smoking heli next to the piano house at Ceremor's Wood Pile.

If anyone is late to any of the zones, they will be disqualified by an in-game admin and kicked from the event so play it smart.

The last team/player standing wins.
