Heavenly Gaming Community DayZ Rules

Welcome to HGC DayZ. Please read through all of our rules and be sure to follow them at all times. Failing to do so may result in a ban from this discord & our game servers.

Use the buttons below to display all of our rules.

Disclaimer

HGC reserves the right to add, remove or edit all rules as needed. It is your responsibility to keep up to date with these rules. Negligence is not an excuse.

Disclaimer Review

• 🚨 Obviously, depending on which server you're playing on will determine which rules apply. Look in each section for rules pertaining to your server type: PVE/PVP - PVE - PVP.
• 🚨 I cannot stress this enough, although not every rule on the list may lead to a ban, I strongly encourage you to break the rules at your own risk. Just because one player gets a warning does not mean you will. Each case is reviewed and the severity of the punishment is SITUATIONAL. So please let's all avoid a headache and just play the game.
• 🚨 It is your responsibility to stay up to date with all rules. Depending on what server or game you are playing, the rules may be different. The excuse "Oh, I didn't know or I have not had a chance to," does not work here.
• 🚨 Rules are subject to change at any time and are dealt with per situation.
• 🚨 Pertaining to Ark Survival Evolved / Rust / DayZ: Admins will not replace Dinos, Lost Players, or Items. We will absolutely NOT replace any item including care packages unless you have video evidence as proof of a glitch which shows clearly what you have lost! We will not respawn helis or cars even if you have video proof. Please don’t ask! Legacy servers are exactly how they were during the beta launch, this is what makes them legacy.
• 🚨 We are all humans and subject to mistakes. All bans can be lifted with an admin's permission assuming they allow it.

PVP Server Rules

This is a PVP-only server. Anywhere outside of a "safezone" you are liable to be killed by another player or entity (AIs).

• Your in-game name must match your Discord nickname. No survivor names.
• Stealing and soft raiding is allowed.
• No DDoSing/Doxxing, No Aimbot Names, Esp Names, 123 Names, FLOATING BUILDING/Bases.
• No glitching, exploiting game bugs, duping, hacking, stream sniping, or meta gaming. You will be banned at the discretion of the senior team.
• Alliances are prohibited; however, verbal alliances are allowed.
• Player rotating/logging or swapping to other groups is NOT allowed. Doing this to exceed player group limit is prohibited.
• No loot cycling, defined as removing low-value or unwanted items from their spawn and discarding them in a container or on the ground in an attempt to force new loot to spawn. 3-day ban for the first offence, permanent if caught a second time.
• Selling anything for IRL money is prohibited and will result in a ban if caught.

This is a PVE/PVP server. Intentional killing of another player not in a PVP zone may result in a permanent ban. This also includes NO RAIDING of any kind!

It should be noted that friendly fire is turned on due to the lawbreaker system.

• Your in-game name must match your Discord nickname. No survivor names.

Boss Rules and Engagement

• Luring EX01 (Bear Boss) and EX02 (Wolf Boss) to the map bounds, water edge, or trapping them in, on, or around buildings is considered glitching their mechanics.
• Killing EX01 and EX02 from a heli or building is NOT permitted. You must be on the ground.
• You must call out and claim from the ground ONLY! The first person or group to claim him has the right to kill. You cannot claim from a distance. Being claimed is not allowed by another person or group until all members of the active group have either died or left the area.

Raiding Rules

Raiding Hours

Friday 8pm CST to Sunday 8pm CST

Timer

Raid timer is limited to the next reset from when you place your 1st boom.

No Rebuild

A player/team cannot rebuild doors/hatch doors/gates that have been breached already.

Player Stuck

If a player becomes stuck in a base and cannot get out, they must use the F11 function. Admins will not teleport players out. This also applies to logging out inside someone else's base which is illegal.

Double Dipping

If you attempt to raid a group on a weekend, you are not allowed to target them a second time during the same weekend. This rule helps ensure fairness and diversity in raiding targets and prevents excessive targeting of a single group within a short time frame.

Popcorning

Placing loot on the ground, shooting containers to damage them, or despawning loot in any way is not tolerated. You decided to raid, so you take all or leave all.

Combat Logging

NO Combat Logging during Raids: Players are not allowed to combat log while an active raid is in progress. In case of a server restart, the raid should be resumed, and players should use the F11 function to spawn outside of the base area before logging off or log off 10 minutes after the last breach charge was placed.

Flag Destruction

You are not allowed to take over someone else's base or add code locks to another player's base.

Boost Raiding

You cannot use any furniture/barrels/fireplaces to boost into a base. The only thing you can use is a vehicle or player stacking.

Dismantle

No dismantling enemy’s flags or bases. Vehicles, furniture, and storage with its contents are the only items to be taken or dismantled.

Wall Glitching

Wall punching is not allowed. Wall punching is pressing against an in-game wall or base wall to see what's inside or outside, whether players or loot.

Team Ally

You cannot raid other bases with other teams.

Method of Entry

You must raid a base ONLY via doors using breaching charges. Destruction of walls, floors, and roofs is not acceptable. Any other method of raiding is forbidden. Raids and the method of entry are recorded in our logs, and violators shall receive a ban.

Recording Requirements

We require everyone who chooses to raid, record their raid. This is for validation purposes should any opposing parties feel they were raided unjustly.

• Please record your gunfights. If you are reported by a player, we will request clips to help assist with the reports and confirm legitimate gameplay for the admins and the other party. If you can't/don't record, please make a ticket and an admin will assist.
• Please record any and all raiding activity. If you are going to raid, then you must record it. The video will be used to clarify a legitimate raid for both the admins and the raided party.
• If you fail to provide raid evidence when needed, a temporary ban will be issued.

These rules aim to ensure a balanced and respectful raiding experience in your gaming environment. Players are expected to adhere to these rules to maintain fairness and a positive gaming experience for everyone involved.

PVP Base Building Rules

• A maximum of 10 code-locks on doors, hatches, garages, or anything that would give entry to the base counts towards the code-lock limit. However, code locks on lockers and any other storage are allowed, but remember these locks take significantly more damage.

Lawbreaker System

What is the Lawbreaker System?

The lawbreaker system is a mechanism in place that places bounties on players who break the "NO KOS LAW." If a player kills another player outside of a PvP zone, they get marked with the "lawbreaker" status.

What is a Lawbreaker?

A lawbreaker is a player marked for death. When someone becomes a lawbreaker, other players are allowed to kill the lawbreaker without any consequences, and they have the ability to loot them. Lawbreakers can also be attacked even in PvE zones.

Debuffs Applied to a Lawbreaker

• Your position is shown globally on the map.
• Marker update frequency is every 5 minutes.
• 50m detection: Any player within 50m of you can see a 2D marker of you as you move.
• On death, your reputation is reset to 0 (marker disappears once you die).

Rewards for Killing a Lawbreaker

Killing a lawbreaker successfully will net you in-game rewards that spawn instantly in your inventory upon completion.

Q's & A's

Q: What if I'm marked with a bounty, can I shoot back at other players outside of PvP zones?

A: Yes, you have the right to defend yourself. However, killing another player while marked increases your overall timer for being marked.

Q: If I'm marked and kill someone outside of a PvP zone, can I loot their body?

A: No, you may not loot another player's body, regardless if you're marked or not. Looting a player's body in a non-PvP zone is against server rules and can result in a ban. However, this does not apply to players who are hunting you; they have the right to loot a lawbreaker's body outside of a PvP zone.

Disclaimer

This is a very new system that we've just implemented into the server and is highly experimental. There may be situations that occur that are not covered in the Q's and A's. Keep in mind, this system is to encourage players not to kill other players outside of PvP Zones.
