Wow.. :\ Would have been nice to have a warning for this. Me and my clan have had about 5 vehicles all FULL with loot including some of the best stuff you can get in the game, all sorts of stuff and now we just lost it completely without any warning.. We weren't one of the clans hiding them outside of the map either - We had them findable.. now we all just lost our loot which has taken us a couple of weeks to collect. Really lame. EDIT: Oh nice, Just remembered I chucked my NVGs and GPS in an atv before I went for a raid this morning and now have lost both of those.. Had those NVGs for about a month and have only ever seen one pair in about 200 hours of DayZ

I completely agree! I've always felt like the bullet damage in DayZ was a bit off.

Terrible idea for many reasons.. such as -Spawning right back into a firefight after you die at your friend -Removing the aspect of finding one another after you both die which can lead to many awesome adventures And so on..

I agree with the idea that flashlights should be put in the place of guns

A vehicle reset every month is a silly idea. Someone from the dev team posted that they would recommend Rocket to make vehicles/tents unsavable outside of the map boundaries so that stops people from hoarding them out there where they will never be found. Will people hoard them inside the map boundary? Yeah of course, my clan does it.. but the fact of the matter is that the map is only so big and there really isn't any "safe" spots to hide them so they are findable.. it's even better than you finding it at it's spawn point because it will already be repaired and full of loot for you! Also, the debug forest is inside the map boundaries and is quite close to a town and players sometimes have their location reset to it so hiding vehicles around it would be a terrible idea.

How adorable' date=' a hoarder comes in to gloat. :rolleyes: Are you also the type of clan to lock your server after a reset, or crash it upon someone successfully robbing your camp? [/quote'] What is wrong with a server being locked after a reset? You do realize that this is sometimes required to allow vehicles to spawn when servers are being hammered by people connecting straight after a reset/crash... right?

I would pay full price and probably even a monthly subscription fee.. I don't say that lightly, but I love DayZ unlike any other game I've ever played, it would be worth every cent.

Me and the rest of my clan are looking for a perfect spot to save our vehicles and possibly tents if we run out of room, but the thing is that a perfect spot on this map simply does not exist, there is always a chance someone will find it. If we ride a huge way out of the map into where no grass or trees load, will our vehicles and tents save properly? I'm talking 10-30km out of the map. Any info would be appreciated

EDIT: Nevermind, servers back up, assumed they were being taken down for an extended amount of time and they were back up in 10! So because of the hacking DayZ is just being taken offline is what I have gathered from twitter? With people that are doing this just to try to ruin the game (Server nuking) you are giving them exactly what they want.. Unless this is to apply some kind of fix to actually stop the hacking, just taking the servers offline while you work on a fix is a bad move in my opinion. Though if I had more information on what was being done while the servers are offline maybe I'd change that. I don't know about you guys, but I would much rather play with a chance of losing everything than not play at all.

This. Learn how alpha works and what it means' date=' then realize you have no right to act pissed or pushy about anything. [/quote'] I didn't do either of those things Flooter, merely offered my point of view. I am quite aware of what an alpha is. But regardless the problem is already solved as the servers are back up, I assumed the central database was being taken down for an extended period of time hence the "until further notice", not just a few minutes.. so not to worry! Happy DayZ

I really have a hard time understanding why hackers would do this server wide nuking shit.. Hack gear? Hack vehicles? I can sort of understand, even though it ruins the game for other people at least the hacker would be having fun I guess.. But nuking the server and just completely fucking ruining it for everyone and not even having fun yourself? It's like.. do they have some kind of grudge against DayZ for some unknown reason? Do they want to completely ruin the mod and have no one play it? :\

Kobra, as I said in my thread, vehicles are never permanently gone and they just temporarily disappear sometimes for a few restarts/crashes. All of your vehicles are still probably where you left them. Never once have I had a vehicle permanently disappear due to server resetting/crashing, I've had some disappear for up to 12 hours but they always come back.

Rocket and BIS really need to resolve this quickly before the mod completely dies off, a huge amount of server nuking is going on at the moment, hackers basically just hop from one server to the next and do this shit.. What in the fuck posesses people to do this shit I will never know. I guess they want DayZ to fail and have gaming stay in the sorry fucking state it's been in for years.

Thanks for the answer Salty. I kind of get where you are coming from but then on the other hand, I feel like until Rocket adds something like camo nets/camo paint (or perhaps allow us to use the hatchet to chop down tree branches and such to place over them?) for parked vehicles to hide them better that something like this is kind of necessary if we want to keep our hard earned vehicles safe. It is basically completely impossible to keep the vehicles safe on the current map because of how good people are now at finding bases - I've met people who have every decent tree clump that you can park vehicles in on the map basically memorised and find vehicles quite reguarly.. there is people who do grid searches with clans all across the northern/western parts of the map just to find bases and because of this it is almost pointless to keep vehicles because of how quickly they can be stolen. The game goes for realism and in real life in a situation where I would want to hide a vehicle, it would be completely hidden from view and have tree branches and such all over it.. unfortunately we can't do that in DayZ though.. not yet.

Hey Kobra, I've actually never even once lost a vehicle permanently to server resets/crashes and I've owned over 10+ vehicles for an extended amount of time in DayZ What I have found is that sometimes after a crash/reset, all vehicles (more likely) or a specific vehicle (seems to happen lots with trucks) will not spawn. But that does not mean they are gone. They do indeed come back, usually next reset/crash but sometimes it has taken up to 3. I've never experienced a server actually "eating" a car permanently even once, so go check where you had vehicles disappear before and you might be surprised to find them again.

It will be a great idea. I'm sure if you have half a brain you will be fine.

Date/Time: Anytime since drinking water was changed to right clicking in the inventory instead of the action wheel What happened: I filled up my 1 water bottle at a lake and drunk from it, I right clicked twice quickly and drank it twice and ended up with 2 empty water bottles where as before I only had 1. Where you were: Black Lake What you were doing: Filling up my water bottle at a lake. *Current installed version: 1.6.0.1 *Server(s) you were on: NZ1 *Your system specs: i5 2500k, 580gtx, 8gb ram *Timeline of events before/after error:

I agree, while temperature COULD be done right (I'm sure you would get hypothermia being in Russia at night while it is pouring down) at the moment it is silly. Catch an infection from the cold? Lol.. What?? Not to mention running at 42c which is supposed to be body temperature would have you in a coma or brain dead in real life. Needs to be worked on for sure.

Also possible problem - It will be incredibly annoying to run around with my 8 friends who are all bandits just like me and every time we mouse over each other hear crazy heart beats.

NO While this is miles better than the crows or flies idea, it will still be obvious who is a bandit.

Seriously Rocket, I absolutely love DayZ and the work you have done, DayZ has given me more enjoyment than perhaps any other video game experience in the rest of my life.. but this has to be one of the worst suggestions I have seen on these forums.. and it's coming from you? There is a number of reasons why this would be terrible, none of which can be summed up in 20 words, hence this thread. - It's unrealistic. It's silly. It ruins atmosphere. Animals do not follow around bad people in real life, is this turning into something like Fable, when the bad people get horns and the good people have halos? That is what first pops to mind when I read this change. - It puts bandits at a huge disadvantage. Being a sniper myself who has negative humanity (Hard not to have it these days with everyone shooting first) having crows fly above me while I am prone in a bush somewhere would completely destroy the experience for me. I am someone who absolutely hated the bandit skins but I would prefer those a thousand times over to something like you are suggesting. Please listen to what people have suggested time and time again - Give players an incentive to be good, do not punish them for being bad.

Would love to see the equip-a-skin spawn-in-the-ocean bug this patch, it's the main reason I refuse to play 1.7 I have camo on at the moment and with NVGs that I've had for about 3 weeks.. don't really want to risk it.

I would really be against a character wipe. I don't see anything THAT big of a change to gear that we should have our characters reset.

Edit: Nevermind! Missed something

Hey tekcoR, who are you and why have you copy pasted my avatar and signature? lol That's great if you wanna help show people to our website but if you could kindly not use the TFB avatar as that's kind of a clan logo thing :) Unless you are a member under a different name!
