Obsolescence

I read on the wiki that loot and zombies don't spawn while driving around in a vehicle. I was wondering, do unclaimed or broken vehicles also not spawn? I've been riding around on an old bike trying to find another vehicle and havent. I was wondering if this might be why. Thanks for the help, as always.

I like this idea but could you also add: Smoker Charger Jockey Boomer Spitter Hunter Witch Tank

Sorry, but which skin doesn't get its head blown off by an AS50, and why would a bloodbag help you recover from a 0.50 cal wound?

I like this idea but I think you should add the following designations: Soldier Heavy Demoman Medic Spy Pyro Engineer Scout Sniper

Wow, lucky you to get in here before all of the idiots started posting just like you suggested they would.Just look through this thread to see all of the idiots which you predicted beforehand.

You helped some guy who killed you, and then you killed him back, and then he can back pleading for your help countless times? Did he just keep spawning in the same spot each time while you never moved elsewhere? I mean, it seems somewhat far fetched to imagine he sought you out amongst the whole island of Chenarus just to be killed countless times. But whoa, who am I to argue with such a tough guy. Love your sig, by the way. Hilarious.

You were pretty much fine up until the point where you engaged a moving target in 3rd person on full auto. You should never be intentionally engaging a target in 3rd person and/or full auto. 3rd person is for moving, not shooting, and full auto is for surprises or burst fire not mowing down some chump with a makarov like you're tony montana. I mean you lived and he died so it's all gravy anyway. Here have some :beans:

So what you're saying is that the traditional head garb of several cultures around the world is a "towel hat" and that anyone who wears this "towel hat" is a muslim radical? Let me guess... American?

You're lucky you ran into such a fool bandit. He could have easily laid down outside and killed you as you left. And why do people who use pistols not realize that YOU MUST AIM FOR THE HEAD. It was an interesting video, and (as a bandit) I definitely understand why you chose to kill him before he aggressed. As soon as you saw him and he ran away I knew he was looking for a weapon to kill you with as he told you he was friendly and how he couldn't get rid of his negative humanity. If you run into me like that, you best not stand still in the corner and let me shoot a whole mak mag into you. I will aim for the head. I was shocked that you didn't die as you just stood there reloading. Thanks for the entertaining video.

Survival is so trivial in this mod that, unfortunately, player vs player is the only thing to provide a challenge. It gets easier the more of them you kill. Remember, everyone you kill is liable to murder someone in the future. Just because the method you chose was underhanded and dirty doesn't mean that you didn't ultimately save someone else's life. If you don't murder the innocent players, you allow them to become monsters. If someone had murdered you before this whole debacle they might have gotten a murder, but you wouldn't have killed this seemingly helpful guy. Plus, players make for some of the best loot piles in the game :D

I was wondering if any of the more experienced players know what happens to my vehicle if: 1. I'm driving my vehicle and the whole server is instantly killed (or teleported/killed)? 2. I'm driving my vehicle and the server restarts? Can anyone confirm if your vehicle teleports with you during a tele-kill event? If you are instantly killed does your vehicle return to the last place you exited it from? If the server resets while driving, does the vehicle return to the last place you exited it from? I apologize if these are basic questions, but I didn't see answers for them elsewhere. Thanks for the help.

I'm sorry if this isn't in the right area, but I'm really confused as to what happened or where I should appeal/report this. I was on US 405 hosted by SecOndSight2S.com. I found a tent city (maybe the admin's tent city?) and there were 4 satchel charges in the tents. As soon as I tried to use one, the server automatically kicked me, citing something about spawning vehicles (I didn't bother writing down the message). "Fine," I thought, "I guess the admins own this camp and disabled the use of satchel charges to protect it." So I rejoined from the kick and played on the server for an hour more or so. Several hours later I try to rejoin and it says, "You were kicked off the game. (BattlEye: Banned (Spawning Weapons))" Does this mean BattlEye has banned me for using a satchel charge? If so, why am I seemingly only banned on this server? If I had known satchel charges were illegal to place I would have never tried but they are listed at DayZDB and DayZ Wiki so I figured they were legit. Does anyone know what I should do about this? I'm worried I'm soon to be banned from all servers and the only thing I did was try to place a satchel charge. Thank you for all the helpful responses, as always.

I did not dupe them. I found four in the tent city, I tried to use one, and then I hid all four of them. I'm vaguely aware of some method of duping with glitched or duplicated tents or something, but until you suggested it I wasn't even aware there was a method for duping items beyond the tent thing. Either way, I haven't duplicated anything as far as I'm aware.

I hid the satchel charges at various tents/vehicles. My friends will be logging in soon to aquire them. I'll give the server admins a chance to respond, but if they don't my friends should be able to verify that either the SA or BattlEye is kicking people automatically for using satchel charges and then this server is banning people for it.

I was wondering if anyone can explain this line from the DayZ Wiki on tents: "If someone other than the owner of the tent places items in the tent, the owner of the tent must save the tent to prevent items from being deleted if the server is reset." 1. Is this statement true / still true? 2. Do clans with big tent cities have to keep track of who owns which tents so they can save deposited items properly? 3. What happens when the "owner" dies? Is the tent ownership tied to account and not character? 4. Do I need to wait for my friend who owns our tent to be on so he can save items I deposit? 5. Do I still need to wait for him if his character that placed the tent is dead?

1. Is there any limit to how far you can go north or west on the map? Is it a hard limit (i.e. invisible wall)? 2. Can you go so far that the server won't save tents/vehicles (i.e. past the 000 coordinate on X or Y axis)? 3. I normally use DayZDB Map. Will a server save any vehicles/tents viewable on that map? Thanks for the help, I always appreciate the helpful responses yall give... most of the time ;)

Cooked meat heals for 800 blood. Personally I think this is too high. The average animal kill is going to net you 5 meat or so. That's, 5 x 800, so 4K blood. Canned food gives you just 200 blood. I'd prefer to see cooked meat give you 400 blood, or at the very least, 600 blood. Alternatively, leave the healing at 800 but only allow someone to eat if there food need is below 50% or so (prevents players from downing infinite meat-steaks like they're Takeru Kobayashi). What do yall think?

So as long as there are trees I can keep going further?

I was wondering what my little squad should bring with us when we go to hunt for vehicles. Do we need to have everything on hand to repair a vehicle fully? Engine Parts - (6 inventory slots) Main Rotary Parts - (6 inventory slots) Fuel Tank Parts - (4 inventory slots) Wheel x 4 - (24 inventory slots each) Scrap Metal - (3 inventory slots) Jerry Can with Gasoline - (3 inventory slots) That's 46 slots of gear spread between the three people in our squad. I just want to make sure we need to collect all this and drag it around the country-side before we start. Also, how does someone find a vehicle? From what I've heard, you can always steal one from a clan camp in the far West or North but they tend to reset the server as you drive away, if they don't manage to shoot you first. What would some of the more experienced players recommend to help my group get our first vehicle?

Title basically says it all. Ealier tonight I shot some guy named Ace in the body with a 0.50 cal sniper at 50m. He died instantly, the chat recognized this, and I got a bandit kill, but his body was gone within 5 seconds or instantly. I never saw or found it. Any idea what might have happened? Pink mist?

The reason I ask is because I was under the impression that headshots and instant kills are inescapable. Not true?

I'm glad they made your shirt white so I'll have an easier time spotting you ;)

I'm in this server on the Elektro sniping hill shooting... cows and zombies. If your squad sees me I'm friendly fyi :)

When I logged on friday, the SixLauncher had an update for me. I updated and since then basically every time I log on to a new server I am back on the coast somewhere with all of my gear. Can anyone confirm if this is happening to everyone, just me, or is there anything I can do about it? It is rather annoying to get pushed back to the coast every time I join a new server. I'm running 1.7.2.4 Is this issue fixed in 1.7.2.5? Should I update manually? Furthermore, why is it they always try to shove this shit out right before the weekend when everyone wants to play? Couldn't they have just waited to patch it on Tuesday or something.

I was at 12000 blood before this began. Haven't been in a firefight of any sort since 8/9/2012 (Thursday). I was wondering if it had to do with the server build numbers, but I haven't tested that yet. I'd be happy to just die if I thought it would fix it.
