I've killed 10+ players during the last week or so, but only one had decent gear. Every time I engage a player in camo/ghilie they alt+f4 within seconds. Thinking back on my months of play time, I've only killed camo/ghilie guys with m14/AS50 - simply because these weapons 1-2 shot. - Spot a camo and a newbie in electro. Stalk them to Stary (1hr+) and lie in wait kill the newbie, but only one enfield shot hits the camo guy before he disconnects. - Sneak around for 15 min following the sound/zombies of a balota-sniper. Jump his pine tree. he disconnects while i reload having wounded him. It pisses me off that automatic weapons or anything that isn't a onehit kill has so little use in PvP. I want to hit/be hit and survive, i want people to bandage mid fight, i want strategy and patience to pay off. The only lenghty gunfights i've had with geared players have been when clans have clashed and fought over dead bodies or vehicles. TO HELL with all you camo/ghilie guys and your cat like disconnect-reflexes. Sorry for whining.. But this has been driving me crazy lately

what? the jumping is apart of the game, who cares if it was ridiculous because EVERYONE had it. how did that make the game bad? that is the only thing people say is "bad" about the halo franchise: something that wasn't even bad and/or "retarded". the game wasn't "slow" for "the kids" (why do you think so many kiddies play CoD and not DayZ? (BECAUSE COD IS FAST AND DAYZ ISN'T), and never was "slow"; it was more of a "medium" speed, and with the vehicles it is much more fast-paced, but that is Halo's playstyle. oh, and remember in Halo 3 where you could change the speed, gravity and EVERYTHING with your own custom gametypes? Halo brought the standard console controls to the modern day console, even though FPS's don't play well on consoles, Halo is the best of the bunch when it comes to controls. that is innovation. so was being able to completely customise your game modes, your maps (and your own sculptures, thanks to Forge), and even to be able to customise the damn campaign and firefight modes with the skulls. Halo 2 also introduced duel-wielding and hijacking vehicles, and that was damn epic. those are what i can think of from the top of my head, anyway. and Halo 2's campaign bad? seriously? you failed to mention what was "bad" about it. it was BAD ASS, that is what it was. ahhh, the memories of jumping on that scarab, killing everyone inside, or the time where i played on legendary, and how scared i was of the nearly invincible elites that could survive about 2 plasma grenades stuck on them, and even a fully charged plasma shot form a plasma pistol. the story had it's twist's and turns, it's epic and wtf moments, it's EPIC music and, just like all of the Halo campaigns, it's HUGE amount of re-playability. it was awesome. ahhh, my childhood memories.... i love Halo. the only "reasons" for saying it "sucks" is "oh, he jumps so high." problem? aaaaaaanyway, back on topic (kinda): this video mentions (i think) some of the things i stated: Day Z Developer Session (w. Rocket) (Eurogamer Expo 2012) but i got some of the ideas from FrankieOnPC, and he said they were happening in standalone, so i said what he said, video i think is here: SILENCED AK HAVOC! - Battlefield 3 (w/ Heli Tips) he starts talking about DayZ and some of the stuff i mentioned at around 9:07 EDIT: i forgot where i got the zombie spawn things from, and other things i might have gotten it from a suggestion in the DayZ forums, but i bet it is very likely to happen anyway. a speculation, yes, but a very good one ;D

The official Goonda Force private hive server has just been put online. We have active choppers just waiting to be found. Over 200 vehicles across map ranging from fishing boats, trucks , to even bicycles. There are admins on every night watching scripts to see if any hacker activity has been spotted. So rest assured being killed by hackers is nothing to worry about. If your interested stop by US 1067 and have yourself a time! One disclaimer though, you will not spawn with other items from other Lingor servers but this is due to it being a private hive. But don't let that get you down, there is heightened chance for better loot and it is easier for us to track hacked in items.

Dayz Name: KarinjaNinja How long have you played Dayz: I have been playing Dayz for 5 months. Time Zone: EST. I live in NJ, USA. Age: 25 Pvp experience: I have killed many survivors and died many times. I have destroyed helis, vehicles and very experienced as a sniper. Favorite Gun/Combo: M107/Mk48 or L85 Team experience: I was in an organized Bandit group for a few months. It disbanded due to the hacking/duping but I have experience using teamspeak and working with others to achieve a goal. How familiar with the map are you? Very familiar, I have been everywhere on the map more times than I can count. Coord grids and compass bearings? As stated before I was in an organized tactical bandit group and we would always check coords and compass bearings. Very experienced using map and compass. It has gotten very dull playing DayZ solo, so I look forward to maybe joining up with CSA.

with chinooks u need to try and fit underneath it and repair it. A radius exists for fixing vehicles, and it's not adjusted to accommodate the new spawns. A problem is though you could risk death because sometimes as you repair your guy might try and crouch resulting in you being squashed.

good gravy kill the man get two vehicles

My story started 2 days ago and ended today its called my Vehicles. It starts with me up at Stary I had just finished looting when a helicopter shows up and offers me a lift, I accepted cautiously. He gave me a lift back to electro where I was meeting with a freshly spawned friend, after he landed the chopper he gets out and I notice he is carrying a AS50 TWS and was about to kill me and my friend but at this moment we were saved by the admin who notices his weapon and he gets banned his body just disappears so no loot off him at this point I am out of the chopper and its off screen I turn around and its still there so I guessed it was a legit chopper, so I take it and fly to NW airfield to gear my friend up we loot a few places and then we took it for one last trip to NE airfield before we log and as I am landing it, (which I had done about 4 times before at the same speed on surfaces that were not flat without damaging it) I touch down and everything turns red it wouldn't start so we get out fast and it blows up. I have no idea why this happened because we had landed on the airstrip which was flat and landed it slowly and from here on things just get more frustrating. The next day I log on the same server to find out that the admin or a hacker not sure had wiped all tents and vehicle's so I had lost a M16 M203, M107, Fn fal and a FN fal AV PVS all with mags amongst other items from our camp site, so I am pissed right now but at least one good thing came from it all the vehicles had spawned again so I went in search. I went to NW airfield first to search for a chopper instead I find an ATV which I fix up and then after about 40 mins I touch a lamp post and have to fix it again I did and then logged for the day. Then I log on today my ATV still there so I take it for a spin back up to NW airfield to search for some more ammo, after about 2 minutes on the ATV on a road I hit a tiny bump and it flips so I cant use it now so I blew it up out of anger. I carried on making my way up to NW airfield and as I am passing Stary I stop in to loot and notice the red Uzaz is there with everything but the wheels and hull in tact so I find a wheel and scrap metal fix it up and still need 3 wheels so I began searching. I ended up passing by Polana on my way to the factory nearby and I find a wheel 2 more to go, as i get close to the factory I notice the tractor spawn with the tractor there and it was drivable apart from one wheel so I fix it and continue on my journey to find wheels for the uzaz. I found 2 wheels and 4 jerry cans at the factory I loaded them into the tractor and set of for Solinchy. As I am driving I got lost so I stopped outside of a little town in front of a roadblock open my map and just as I close the map I realised I had rolled into the road block and everything went red and the tractor blew up with me inside I somehow survived barely I had 1k Blood. I patched myself up to about 3k blood with some food I had still at this point I am vulnerable to passing out so i had to be very cautious because I decided to carry on looking for wheels despite having just lost 3 I looked onwards determined to find my Wheels. When I get just outside of Solinchy i searched a few buildings and found 2 wheels so I was back on track I found nothing else there so I went to the factory towards Berizino, I had arrived after passing out about 10 ten times but when I got there the first building I entered I found 2 wheels again so I had done it, I had 4 wheels in my shiny coyote backpack now so next on the list was healing up. I set a waypoint back to Stary and set off, as I was trekking up the first hillside behind the factory I saw 2 cows so I killed them and ate them and had 12K blood once again, at this point I was thinking my luck had changed I couldn't have been more wrong. So on the way back I noticed a crash site I only had a Makarov and a PP bizon on me so I went to the crash site and found a M9 pistol and a M4A3 CCO with mags. At this point I was certain my luck was changing and it was but not from bad to good it was from bad to worse, as I just set of back to Stary A sniper took a few shots at me from the nearby town he managed to miss every time despite me being stood still at one point. I managed to scramble towards a few bushes and rocks as I was in a open field with no cover but this and he stopped shooting so I assumed I was safe for now, I started looking around me to pinpoint his location when I heard him take another shot this time he hit me in my legs so snap my legs broke, I believe he was using a M24 but I still couldn't pinpoint him, I got back into cover and fixed my legs and ate 2 pieces of meat I had left over from earlier, and I took a gamble at this point I made a run for into to nearby woods keeping the trees and rocks I was hid behind at my back and I got away with it, I headed towards the town circling the field I was in when I got there I spotted him and he must not have notice me run away earlier so I popped a cap in his head took his GPS the only tool I was short and hid his body. A little later on the server was dead only 3 players on including me I hadn't ran into any more animals so was sitting at 5K blood and I was about 500M away from Stary when I started getting shot at by a M4A3 again in an open field (you'd have thought I learned from my mistakes XD) but this time I had no idea which direction I was getting shot from and I kept running towards a little wall and a few trees as I dived into cover he hit me and again broke my legs and knocked me out I thought I was done for but the timer was about 3 seconds long and at this point he thought he come finish me off and I saw him run out from behind the trees about 40 M away from me as I was getting back up, I rolled behind the wall into cover as now he was in the open I had been wearing the camo outfit at the time and I don't think he notice me rolling away because he didn't try to shoot me or even stop running at me once I got behind the wall I popped up and took one shot to his head and it was over I then bandaged up and crawled to his body as I had no morphine now he was carrying little worth taking except for 4 cooked meat and some painkillers so I ate the meat and took the pills to stop the shakes and crawled towards the Uzaz which I had stored 4 morphine and others stuff in earlier in hope it was still there it was I healed up and fixed my car and set off to my camp to store it and log off for the night and as I was driving I had to avoid A destroyed vehicle on the road and I hit the blown wheel lying next to it and ofc all my wheels blew my fuel tank turned red so I gave up logged off and came here to tell you my story of how I managed to destroy 4 vehicles in the past 2 days and what I had to go threw to fix just one car which I drove for about 5 minutes.

I like the idea of only being able to refuel at the airfields, makes more sense, and could create some great dangerous and tense refueling missions for people. Three stations, one at each of Balota, MWAF and NEAF specific for only air vehicles. Not sure about the refuel truck though, would be nice to center activity around the airfields to create some danger and action, unless the truck could be made to only carry enough fuel for one refill at a time maybe?

I wanna say a few months back there was a rule or something (cant think of the right word) implemented in the game that if you hide/save anything outside of the normal map(what smasht_Au showed the pic of), that if it goes unchecked for X time that it will despawn. I cant remember the exact time limit and if it applies to vehicles and tents or just vehicles. So since then i havent ever hide anything past that black border, let alone travel past it. Know i still look for anything past it if i can see that far. But most of the time i find everything below that line. Good luck.

All opinionj I suppose Id love to see the Merlin with the ability to lift vehicles. Nothing like stealing a car thats driving along the road and flying off with them.

Hardly matters.Your shit will likely disappear and you'll spawn on the coast next login anyway. (am I a tad cynical?) But seriously. The game got a lot more fun when I stopped caring about tents/vehicles or guns. Picked up a 1911 and an enfield, then mixed it up in Cherno, meeting others, shooting only bandits, etc.

... No. I dont want balance, but there is no need for a single vehicle that can give dominance over a map. Even as the proud owner of almost a dozen of them, I still agree to this Its not just air dominance, it dominance over the air and the ground, particularly against other vehicles. As above. I dont believe every one of them has two mounted m240 machine guns, however. This isnt simply a balance thing, its also because the LB is more enjoyable to fly.

Loot spawning when driving round in a vehicle other vehicles spawning when driving round in a vehicle Drive in petrol station fill up on chernarus (just like in the DLC maps)

If you can decipher the logs, you're good to go. Load outs, positions, vehicles, tents. It's a lot easier to maintain control once that's figured out. A good admin knows how to obtain information, a better admin knows to NOT exploit that information. I haven't seen any funny business in my server for over a week.

Extra vehicles added, server rigged for optimal performance. Guarantee it's one of the quickest connections you'll experience whilst playing this game.

Okay, just to start things off, this is what I posted on another forum, and it got quite a bit of agreement from the guys, so we're looking at ways to bring our servers back to what they were before the duping bugs became so common; So, we're looking at removing tents entirely from our server. The issue is, the storage/duping issue will continue through vehicles, which we don't want to remove entirely. Does anyone know if there is any way that we can change vehicles so you can't store anything in them?

Can someone explaing the publicvariableval-local to me? Also, I took out the car horn and the bike horn after two of my clan were kicked while in vehicles. I double checked their inventory in the logs and they weren't carrying anything out of bounds.

Nice to see you talking about my server sir, its just a shame your always on the teamspeak channel (joke). As for the tents showing, when we set up a regular restart when we first got it, the server wasnt spawning tents and vehicles. We shortly figured out it was because of the restart, so now we have binned the restart and we actually stop and start the server ourselves.

Pretty sure 50 cals are in the game to take out vehicles..

vehicles are there but we are trying to find parts for the chopper now so u might wanna hurry if u want a chopper lol

My last server just shut down so I guess I'll make this one my home. Quick question, are vehicles still there or have you guys already hoarded them?

What happens with vehicles that get destroyed,do they respawn or what?

I just noticed our heli and a bunch of other vehicles were added on a recent server restart. Hive update?

On the topic of loot. During my couple hours of playing yesterday: Loot was a bit more scarce than usual. Started in Kamenka so not much loot there normally. Went through a bunch of the industrial buildings and they had a few vehicle parts and that was about it. Seems normal, anything else was probably taken by another player. Balota airfield was pretty scarce as well, only found an assault pack in the tower, hangers were empty. Military camp near Balota was decent, found an AK and some random ammo for various guns. Cherno supermarket was bare besides a body in the back room. Firestation was also empty. Pubs mostly had loot. Hospitals didn't have medical box out back (may be intended as there was boxes inside) Military tents, one had loot and the other didn't have anything. Apartments small one near hospital had loot. Three large ones had absolutely nothing. Other small one had just a tent. I do like the slightly harder difficulty. Having to find my first backpack made it a bit more rewarding. More zombies around made me more cautious when going into town (playing like I did when I first played). Knowing that I have much less chance of being sniped in Cherno while trying to gear up was nice, could focus on watching my surroundings for zombies and other people instead of just running cause stopping anywhere was instant death. Night was real dark, but giving a player blue chemlights isn't bad as they have a pretty short visible range from what I could see. Didn't get to play around with many of the other features like vehicles loaded into other vehicles which sounds pretty cool. EDIT: Forgot about the new skins. Found a suit which made my character look pretty damn sharp. Also the fact that ghillies and camo aren't really residential spawns anymore make more sense. Most people wouldn't have such clothing in their homes but suits and other clothes would be there.
