Good evening, I am Spikey and I have played in this server for a few days now with a few friends. I can speak on their behalf as they have also agreed with me on the following issues. First off, me and my friends own a Ventrilo server that we all communicate on, so everything we talk about is voice chat. There is no text proof so all im doing is typing what has been said. You can consider this information as speculation if you like, but further more, I do not wish to start an angry mob off because all that you read is point of opinion and information that you have that others do not. 1) We have been on the server for many hours one day and we have been using the following map to locate vehicles - http://www.dayzdb.com/map - We have been to 10 different places per day when we have been on this server and we did not find one vehicle. One of my friends decided to record the times the server reboots which is apparently every 4 hours. They reboot at the following times - 12:00pm - 4:00pm - 8:00pm - 12:00am - 4:00am - 8:00am. Me and my friends moved to a location where a vehicle could defently spawn as long as it was not save by someone so we tried multiple places. We logged out, waited for the time for the server to reboot and logged back in. When we checked the area's, no vehicles. We did this about 5 - 7 times. Conclusion - We do suspect that something fishy is going on with how the admins choose to operate this server. The fact that we have been in many places and not managed to find a vehicles seems to be extremely fishy. We have not been on the server when it has been rebooted manually yet, but if we are at some point, then I shall report it here. 2) Me and my friends have ran into this so called "Glitch" where you join a server and it puts you on the Coast of the map, when previously, you were in the middle of the map somewhere, for example, the North West Airfield. I joined the server yesterday, hoping to see if a Helicopter had spawned at the Airfield, and instead, ended up on the coast of Chernogorsk. I still have all my stuff that I previously had, thank god, however, Im not happy that my location gets reset. Now I tested this theory out on other servers. I joined several different servers first and worked out their times of server reset. All the servers I joined that had rebooted, did not put me back on the coast. They put me where I was from US175, the North West Airfield. Upon returning back to US175 a few days after, I spawned at the coast. Conclusion - Me and my friends had a long winded conversation about this one because one of my other friends had this same issue on another server. We are yet to work out what is causing this so called "Glitch" so in this case, I would ask for the help of the Dayz Mod team to clerify one little bit of information for us to draw this conclusion to an end. My question is, where do the players map cordinates get saved to? The server you join or the player Stats server? Once we know this, we can then point our fingers to the Admins of the server and tell them that they are not playing fairly with the game. As frustrating as this is, everyone wants a vehicle because they would like to get around faster to other towns on the map and meet up with their friends. After that, they are then hiding the vehicles out of reach so that they can keep it for themselves and not allow anyone else to have them or use them. This in my opinion is greedy and selfish. I know this is not the topic to be posting suggestions, but I recommend taking out the "Vehicle Save" option so that other people can have some fun with them too. Once their finished, then someone else can have a go too. This then allows people to find vehicles more often than hardly ever in my opinion. That is my rant - Again, all of the above is speculation and me and my friends opinions. Flaming me about this post is not going to achieve anything so lets discuss this like grown men / women & children. Only the Admins of US175 know what they are doing and if they are indeed cheating the system, then shame on them, but we cannot point the finger until the proof is given. Thanks for reading. Spikey
