Yup, said this yesterday in another post of a topic that had the status report and milestone goals for 2015!!! Vehicles, beta, etc, in 2015!! We re in 2017 and no beta yet, lol they had no idea really. That topic was obviously deleted, they are probably sorry they cant do that to those steam reviews... Devs falled behind a lot, problem for them now is money to keep them running till 1.0....

Hi everyone, I don't know if what im going to tell is news for everyone, but it was for me. Me and my cousin play on server that on the morning is low pop and about midnight it starts to get low on pop too. We sometimes play at those hours to farm a little gear, I found some hackers and reported on the website of the clan that runs it. Today I was about to go in when my cousin says to me to not enter because there were two hackers online that killed him. He respawns and they teleport to him saying sorry, and offering him some gear, my cousin then starts to talk with them, and they tell him practically everything. They got banned two times, they been hacking for almost 3 months, but bans are no problem for them because the website where they bought ( yes, bought!) the cheats sells cd keys for about 2 dollars... So they go to low pop servers spawn whatever gear they like and then go to high pop servers to have some fun, they use cheats like teleporting on those servers but they try not draw too much attention or too be too obvious. I knew hacking is a big problem of this game, but these guys able to do it so easy and get away with it its too much, this game as been out for more than a year. I know "go private servers etc" but those have admins that most of the time do worse.

Theres a lot of hackers in public still, problem is they go to low pop servers and do whatever they want, and then they go to full servers fully geared and messing with cheats rarely, so its difficult for the admins to be sure. In privates problem is donation bonuses, admins abusing their power, and getting their buddies always geared, etc, so its unfair. So tbh there isn't a good choice, only thing we can hope is the standalone version deals with this problems.

I don't have any problems with ppl stealing the vehicles or killing me in them lol, that's part of the game, what shouldn't be part is them disappearing randomly, I talked to an admin of the servers I go to, and he doesn't touch vehicles, its the database that's glitched, its an alpha I get it, but its been out for a year now. I know in private servers there are more vehicles, but I tried about 10 diferent ones and even the more hardcore ones (the ones that dont have a gazillion vehicles or you spawn fully geared...) have stuff like donation bonuses, admin bases, ppl don't value their gear, etc, for that I go and play BF4.

Yeah its a load of work, but it would be worth it if the damn vehicles didn't disappear, you would have a big edge over others and you didn't had to start from scratch if you died.

I think its a database problem, because sometimes only one vehicle disappears, other times they all gone, and even if admins moved them I doubt they would destroy the tents too, and im almost sure in official servers admins don't have that much power.

In the last 2 weeks, I probably spent 99% of my game time finding and repairing vehicles. I usually get a ground vehicle then I use that vehicle to get parts and find a heli. I always manage to do that, I then hide them in remote locations at some distance from each other. After server restarts there seems to be always a chance of them disappearing for no reason. I play in official servers btw. My last one I had an uaz, v3s, a little bird and two tents, they where all separate in a 1km radius in deep woods far from any city. After a restart they where all gone, tents included. This as happened me in 3 diferent servers. So whats the point in spending hours getting and repairing vehicles if they randomly disappear? Its frustrating as hell.
