Most vehicles are hoarded or hidden well. Best chance to find is go looking on/off map on western northern boarders. Vehicles will only spawn after being destroyed or during cleanups (they did an off map cleanup that made allot re-spawn but taken by now). I am not sure if the offmap clean-ups were 1 time or ongoing. Most people probably just hid them again off map if it was 1 time. When they do that they are usually out of normal walking range (would need to much water/food they just drive way out with extra gas.

Do these people not realize this is a super old thing they are posting on and its been in the game for ages.

So me and my friend just finally got 2 NV for first time (we have had 1 before never 2 at once) So we of course find a super dark server (forget what server). Anyway we are playing a bit only like 4 other people on because it's so dark we go to NE airfield just hitting it up to play with the NV. I'm sniping in a bush and he just enters the E of the two hangers. I am watching I see a guy in a ghille suit just apear (not spawned in because he was instnatly moving) outside the hanger. He starts sayign on direct unarmed dont' shoot running into the hanger. I put 3 DMR bullets in him see blood splatter he doesn't go down (at about 300-400 DMR usually 1 shot will at the very least put them in shock). Friend puts 1/2 a clip of his M16 into him finally falls. We check his body literlly nothing but GPS and the Ghille. We then instantly back out north to the tree line just get together deciding whether to log out in fear of a hack that kills you ( we were tossed 200 ft in air 2 days before lost everything form hacker) . Right then near us in field some guy spawns we take him down then instnatly disconnect because obviouse hacker. I knew teleport hacks happened but anyone know what the point of it was? He could of just been fucking with people but i'm pretty suspciciouse he would get near and use some instant kill hack or something. Wondering if anyone else has seen anythign like this.

Or maybe if you read as he ran up to us both times he was on direct chat witht he same voice. Maybe the first time I watched him apear and moved instantly if someone logs they stay still for good 2-4 seconds invunerable (always standing even if they log in crouched). Please have some clue what you are talking about or read the whole thing before makign stupid comments to protect you and your fellow hackers.

More guns = better. I have no problem with NATO guns being more rare but just heli spawns would be bad IMO. Fact is NATO forces are even in russia for joint ops and all kinds of things. Those guns would be found lots of places. Add more guns adjust spawn rates to compensate but IMO do not change spawn locations.

Bear Trap bug. Placed bear trap near our camp (to break our own leg to see exactly how bear traps work etc.) So I set it up had others watching walked over broke my leg morphine fixed it picked up trap put it in tent. Friend walked over same spot (bear trap now gone) we heard a crack and his charchter scream but he did not. Next time he logged in he has a broken leg.

Fact is you rarely use your primary weapons anything other than vs other players. So for that reason alone the Lee imo is easy choice. It can 1 shot people and you shouldn't be using it verse zombies anyway.

Helicopter sites do not respawn loot so you need to be the first one to get to them.

Played allot Today after patch 5+ hours reactions. Zombie vision is allot better now (really like addition of vision overal). Still see you if your not prone when near but allot less aggro from no where near anything. Think this is a mixture of 20% vision nerf with the bug fixes. Still did not find a bear trap although this could be because went through limited farm buildings (not sure where they would spawn asuming farm). Compared to last set of patches more zombies which makes things better Still seem to find allot of guns spawn without ammo (not sure if this is intentional) Ghillie suit can be put on did lose pack on one test ( put on an off like 5 times to test). Alice pack with gear disapeared then had a patrol pack with 8 of the items from alice pack. Much improved but still a bit buggy with them. Heard issues of lossed items after logged my friend tested logging with the ghille like 5 times no issues so far. Overall still very happy to play with the patch and think it was a great improvement with just a few minor bugs.

Sorry if this is in wrong section or other threads on this. I did search some but really hard to see what to search for. My issue is this. I have a friend that I do want to play with but has allot less time to play than I. We want to play together and be able to leave join in similar situation (obviously after we meet up originally). I however would also like to play on my own some and not have to go back to where we were every time. I do not want to have better loot etc. because I play more. I can see where this might be an issue with people hording gear etc. but with spawns not sure if that would be an issue. Mainly is this possible now? If not would others like this option?

So me and a few friends were hitting up the NW airfield starting with the hangers. We are on the last of the big group right near the firehouse. We aggro'd a zombie through wall had no silenced weapons so we had to take it out obviously pulling plenty more. We know we are in NW making noise but we are not stupid at all times we had someone watching door and a sniper covering our location. So 2 guys start walking up from the firehouse side. Sniper gives warning etc. we are ready they walk around we kill one the other DC's whatever. We go check this guys body and he has NVG GPS and Bizon SD. Coyote pack. We actually wanted to move fast being was a semi popular server and we made a ton of noise so we actually left the pack but grabbed bizon SD NVG and GPS and left. Now the way these guys acted and played they were not that good (bad aim, basic strategy, not even looking or thinking about a sniper in NW etc.). Now could they have gotten super lucky to have that one guy have that stuff yes. More than likely though i'd assume either gear farming or the stuff was duped. Can we get in trouble for having those items now? We actually split all 3 up 1 to each of us. I would hate to get in trouble for killing someone who exploited and getting in trouble for it. Would love to hear from a dev on this.

Grow a pair, find friends and play rather then complain and this won't happen.

See that's thinking like a computer game player. Thinking like a survivor you wouldn't condemn yourself to certain death. Plus this was 100 X funnier because the guy filming rolled with it. Thinking like a survivor and a experienced mountaineer as I am. I also would not be in the open on the shore where this would of happened. Fact is this is not real life and some things like that will simply happen. Fact is in real life more than likely those guys would of A. avoided him or B. shot him on sight. Guy had nothing of use to them they had good gear. In real life they would not of exposed themselves to come stand over him and rob him. Don't pull out real life solutions or outlooks to situations that would not come about in real life. I know this game is suppose to be an experiment etc. and in allot of ways it is. However, some situations like this can not be compared to real life. People do know they are in a game (or anti-game as rocket likes to call it).

You never know he might not get shot at. We drove a bus down the middle of the NW air field and did like 2 laps the other day (more then expecting to die) but lived with 35-40 people on server. Sometimes you just have lucky timing.

I have to say with having so little i would of tried to kill one of the guys just for laughs. Not to mention might of been able to pull in some other bandit that could of had a field day with how clustered they were near the shore.

Hilarious I heard of my friends robbing a guy for his Alice pack when he had no gun but that guy got robbed for a markov and a flashlight lol.

If you guys have not realized these are random not position. You are slowly filling every field up. Obviously the most are seen near NW and Stary being people are often in those locations the most.

Komenka is one of the best spawns. 3 dear stands small town then 2 more deer stand and zelangorks, then 2 more towns with lots of loot/general stores then right into NW airfield. I'm pretty sure spawns are also based on where other players are etc. So if lots of people near the other spawns will spawn you somewhere else.

Remove please looking for way to remove but can't to much rage will come from this.

I've seen 2 guys i use to play with this happen to them allot. They use to DC while fighting zombies or players allot. I would guess it has something to do with logging out allot while fighting zombies. Fact is why did you log fighting a zombie?

This is a multi-player game. Not a Co-op or Single player. If you do not want the chance of getting killed by another player go play one of the above types of games. I am not generally a bandit. I try not to shoot on sight unless Stary/NW airifeld (these places you have to). but fact is it's part of the game for a reason. You are complaining about a part of the game as it was meant to be. If you do not like the mod (not even game) hate to tell you the dayz mod is free. If you bought Arma 2 for it that is your choice. This is a free mod if you do not like how it is played go play something else. Arma 2 has some great co-op play.

The biggest thing you don't realize is the people that are near those towns. You say the people that are armed could kill them. Yes they could. My current char can probably make easy work out of many/most of the bandits in Cherno/Eleektro. One major problem. My char since been that well armed has not been in the southern 25% of the map. Why would it? Fact is people in those areas normally fall into 3 categories. 1. The bandits who are obviously doing the killing. 2. New spawns who are usually only taking chances in the big cities because they do not have much gear so it's worth the risk 3. Newer players still learning allot of the basics which fact is this is a fine (although rutheless) place for them to learn the basics of looting, avoiding z's, some basic aiming and identifying which buildings to go in. Fact is majority of the people that are playing this game for what it is have no reason to go to that part of the map once they have anything. The good spawns, vehicles, most of the stuff that matters is in the north. The better well fought battles are in the north where you don't have tons of groups fighting on all sides. Fact is if your in a group of 3-4 and you run into another group and decide to fight it somewhere in north more than likely that fight will stay 3-4 vs 3-4 or whatever it is to start. It is rare that 3 groups are that close to get involved (although does happen). If you were with 3 people in Cherno fighting 3 people you'd also fight the 2 guys over there and the 1 here and the 1 behind you etc. Fact you are writing this tells me one of two things. You Either need to stay out of the south and go see the other things this mod has to offer. Or if you can not deal with the slower paced north this may not be the game for you and you may want to go to a more faster paced game. I have had 3 lives in past 9-10 days. I have been in south at most 3-4 game hours out of 30+ hours played.

O +/- blood types are immune to the infection. That is why all zombies are O bloodtype :). That is how I justify it in my brain. Also makes me sleep better thinking i would not be one of the initial infected.

I think this would be a good addition but in addition to the large hordes I'd be ok with small 2-3 zombie groups also. I would also think the large hordes should possibly have some AI that keeps them away from say the bottom 20% of map because no weapon + horde = bad.

I think a better solution is a simple 2-3 min despawn timer. This would also stop people from despawning just to escape zombies/humans. Your way in no way stops them from despawning if they are getting killed only to gain loot. Simple make it 3 min despawn and if they hit about etc. the can move around protect for 2-3 min. If they alt f4 make their body stay for the 3 min and they will more than likely be dead like they probably should of been before hitting alt 4f. Only negative I see to this is the current bugs with falling out of helicopters those people alt f4ing to possible save them self is reasonable imo just because the only reason they are dieing is a bug lol.
