On all servers or only the truly Jurassic servers?

1715 patch introduced random spawning and random location spawning of vehicles but with a few twists. 1) the number of vehicles spawning is random and there is a cap a server will spawn, so if you see 3 boats in the ocean, feel free to destroy them this will free up slots for land vehicles (hopefully) to spawn. 2) the spawn of vehicles isn't completely 'random'. Trucks and offroad vehicles do not spawn randomly in a forest, but more likely you will find an ATV or a bike at the end of an obscure road. Use this map as a rough reference www.dayzdb.com/map 3) Best bets are to search the entire corners of the map meaning from Coords(XXX:YYY) would be: 000:130 and 000:153 meaning the entirety of the top left corner of the map to the bottom left corner and the top left corner to the top right corner in a 1 km distance from 000X. If you still can't find any vehicles or camps that hoarders vehicles then most likely they are stashed outside the map. Good luck searching for them there without at least a bike and a compass/gps to traverse the great unknown

I wish there were zeds that looked like players, male and female with weapons and backpacks and loot on them...would make more interesting distractions and targets

I don't discriminate, I kill everyone I meet. Absolutely Evil.

If you happen to chance upon an L85A2 RIS CWS I'd be willing to trade you GPS + NVG for it. I will be tracking this thread.

in real life, the red spectrum torchlights do not cast a 'beam' like white light does so its actually quite hard to spot the sharp cone end of the torch unless its directed directly at you. Ingame however I believe this is a limitation to the engine, it still shows the cone albeit a little less obvious.

Could we have rare ammunition spawn at deer stands/barracks/hangers? (bizon/svdcamo/fn fal/M107/Rockets/M240/) The weapons are rare enough, but the ammunition rarity makes those weapons disposable or not enough of a conscience choice to pick up and use over a more common available weapon such as the AKM or M-series assault rifles. 2 more issues if you don't mind, I drive around a vehicle and rush and drop off right outside a supermarket but nothing spawns except zeds the moment I step out. Unless I stop the vehicle 100metres or further away do items spawn in said supermarket making the vehicle more of a hindrance than help. Last thing I have a problem with is vehicles are incredibly fragile...a Truck with 6 wheels travelling at 2kmh and touching any 'trash barricade' would result in engine and 2 front wheels critical damage yet I can with the same truck knock down a tree with impunity. I've cleared out entire forests with my truck only to have some of the trash on the roads and those low stone walls scattered about the wilderness break my truck. Land vehicles are incredibly fragile and need to be rebalanced. I also wouldn't mind if I could use spare scrap metal to to add 'armor' to my vehicle. Engine parts to turbo charge my vehicle giving it more offroad capability at the expense of fuel usage. Fuel tank parts to increase the size of my fuel tank up to a certain limit. Maybe if it is possible, allow my teammates from inside the vehicle or open top trucks to be able to shoot while inside. Edit: I know I am asking for A LOT here, but a slight nod to this post would mean much to me and my friends as we actively search out vehicles very hard and try to make it a bigger game rather than a run and gun and kill the crap out of everyone we meet situation. I also understand this will probably take alot of time to complete.

found a heli crash site, fn fal, fn fal with night scope and 3 mags, mk40 with 2 mags. My only problem with spawns is when you drive a vehicle up to any object spawn location(barn/deerstand/house/hangers/atc tower/firestation/church/shacks/warehouse/supermarkets/barracks/hospitals/heli crash sites) NO ITEM SPAWNS until you get out of the vehicle almost 100metres away or further. Then the zombies spawn and bumrush you because of the constant smoke grenade effect vehicles have that attract zeds.... Why can't items spawn if you are driving a vehicle (to) right outside the supermarket for a quick grab and run?

Could someone please update the freaking wiki?

NO I run the game with my group of 12 friends, can you imagine the amount of noise distracting us? We couldn't be a roving bandit gang.

NO Reduce the amount of mags you get as a fresh spawn from 7 clips to only 2, forcing you to decide if you need to go loud or soft. (player made decision)
