This is the recording from our Community Meeting discussing the new changes to the Hostile Environment Relief Organization. Please forgive my Mumble settings, I keep cutting out at the end of my sentences.
You can direct any questions or concerns to the comments below or to me privately via Steam. Thanks!
Mumble, 05 September 2015 @ 18:00 Mountain, 20:00 Eastern.
If you log into the website or Mumble and notice any changes that affect you, DON’T PANIC!
GOOD changes are in the works for our community! And with the recent 0.58 patch as well as the announcement from Brian Hicks about how patches will be rolled out from now on, we should have a much more stable game and can begin restructuring our foundations for a more stable community.
The Hostile Environment Relief Organization is getting revamped and if you have visited the website recently, you may have noticed a few changes. These changes are going to help us build upon our existing foundation for us to grow this community to our previous goal of 25 HEROs.
The changes will be discussed in detail at a community meeting hosted on Mumble. Questions will be answered after each topic for anyone that has questions.
The patch that many have been waiting for has arrived! Read about it on the official DayZ Dev blog: https://devhub.dayz.com/blog/status-report-26-aug-2015
We originally set out to have our own server so that we could have a home to store loot with persistence turned on. It seems that many of the 1PP players have vanished, most likely due to the fact that they can no longer store up supplies and the game is essentially back to how it was, quick looting with server resets giving a full loot table, and PvP just for something to do in between the fast looting runs.
Due to this state, it doesn’t make sense to continue funding our game server until persistence is back on and stable. The funds will remain in place and continue towards the website/mumble fees, but our server will be set to expire around 20 July 2015.
The Most Valuable Player status in the Hostile Environment Relief Organization is selected by the entire community by vote and is awarded to the community member who shines as a “White Knight” to HERO and the entire DayZ community as a whole.
Please take a few minutes to refer to The HEROs Oath and the latest HERO Legends posts when determining your votes. This list of players was taken directly from HERO Legends for the past month.

Exciting stuff going forward for HERO! The vote has passed this week so I will change our advertising from “looking for members” to “need help surviving?” type posts. Other survivors that are looking to join our cause and provide a HERO type service should naturally find us through this advertising.
Please see the HERO Chat page for details on how this will work. Also please hang out in the HERO Chat while you are playing if you are interested in providing HERO services to the public!
If you are a HERO responding to help requests, you are running the mission and call the shots, not the person requesting help. I would recommend following the safety recommendations in this Field Manual update.
This is a video of all the kills from the Hungry HERO Games. Thanks again to digitalstimulus, John Doe, and the Hoodrat community for putting on the games!

This community is founded on good people doing great things and we would like to encourage this behavior to continue even when there are not official meetups happening!
For the month of April, we would like to see some heroic deeds being done. These can be missions run with multiple people or solo acts of heroism.
Post the story of your experiences and screenshots in HERO Legends with the proper format and we will take a vote at the end of the month for the most heroic acts! Quality or quantity will be determined by the voters. Going forward we will continue to have monthly votes for an MVP based off of HERO Legends votes.
To kick it off this month, Missbehaving and I have come up with a small pool of $50 for the winners that will be broken up as follows:
1st place – $20 + MVP status
2nd place – $15
3rd place – $10
4th place – $5
I’m looking forward to the great stories that come out of our DayZ experiences!
In the end of the gamez, it all came down to SoulMerchant, Agent Scarn, and kittensoft. SoulMerchant moved into the fields after the announcement that the arena would be getting smaller in hopes to find one of the remaining survivors moving around. He moved back towards the city where he spotted Agent Scarn and kittensoft near a tree on the outskirts of the city, the two had apparently allied sometime after the start. After SoulMerchant was killed, it was announced that there could only be one winner since the two were not on the same starting team. After a brief moment, kittensoft rose from the rubble as Champion of our first Hungry HERO GameZ! Congratulations!
Thank you all for your patience while the event was being setup and contestants were moved into the staging area. Also thank you Hoodrat Gaming for allowing us to use your private server for this event: http://hoodratgaming.com
After much anticipation and build up, we all fought hard. Many, including myself, didn’t last 2 minutes in the arena but it was still be biggest adrenaline rush in DayZ I have had to date. Although, next time I will probably run straight away from the loot in the middle instead of trying to grab something.
If you streamed the event, please feel free to link your stream in the comments. This news post will be updated with streamer links, videos, pictures, and other media from the event. Also share your story about your experience with the games in the comments section, what strategy you used, how long you lasted, what you liked and didn’t like, etc.
Most backpacks were carefully crafted so that there would be an advantage and disadvantage. It all mostly came down to luck, though. Here are some of the starting backpack configurations / themes:
