Very interested in this, we've rented a PUBLIC HIVE Server on vilayer this week, and no vehicle spawn so far should I be looking on the dayz wiki and daydb map for vehicles? regards

lol sounds like you are having the same problem I had today with mine. Someone rolled in tele'd to me as soon as I logged into my server and killed me. A few minutes later another fellow logged into my server, tele'd all vehicles to him, tele'd all players to him, but 100m+ up in the sky and then he logs out while everyone falls to their death. damage done. I spoke to vilayer and they are not going to allow passwords for awhile. Instead I was told I should ban EVERYONE who I don't know when they log into my server to prevent these issues as a work around to the no passwording. Kind of funny in a sad sort of way. I had someone get on my server today with a few hacked items (itemRadio and a hacked gun in particular) in the .rpt read from the hive and yet they never showed anywhere in my logs with their guid so I have nothing to ban. If I had been able to catch them while they were still on the server I might have been able to get them with rcon, but.... w/o just outta luck. Hope you are now seeing why adminning gets frustrating even for those of us with the best of intentions. I left mine up until vilayer pulls it down. I requested a refund since they cant seem to be willing to admit they are creating the problematic environment that caused many ppl to leave the public hive. They said they would prorate me but they still haven't pulled the server down or gotten me that refund. Still waiting to see if they are going to suddenly change their tune. As long as they have all those servers hived together they are just public hive v2.0

Vehicles and the gear stored within seem to be saving properly in 1.7.2.6 servers. Just make sure you save the vehicle before you log off.

At present (1.7.2.6) vehicles will pretty much never be at the spawn point. When a vehicle blows up currently, it will respawn in the same spot it blew up, with full parts and no fuel (sometimes they lose all of their wheels). Sometimes they just disappear after blowing up, and I dont know where they go. Also they will always spawn with no fuel after server restarts, so if u have one hidden, gotta keep a jerry can or you will have to go on a long walk to use it again.

I'm a bit new to Dayz, so I'm unsure what server restart means exactly. Lots of servers seem to do it, and I heard restarting clears all tents/vehicles. When a server says it restarts often, does that mean it clears everything, or just goes down for a bit, then goes back up? Should I bother saving stuff in a car in those types of servers?

No way am I reading all 3 pages, but this thread treads too close to the Bandit vs Survivor gripes from the old days (2 months ago). That said, the OP is absolutely right, and so is BrandNew11980. There is nothing to do after a certain point. I can only move my vehicles so they aren't found so many times.

and if there's more than 15 people on a server, guarantee there is a hacker teleporting to players and killing them. stealing your vehicles, or some way/shape/form destroying your experience.

For me skills would enhance the wanting to live longer.Right now living longer has no push for me and I think a few things might bump this for me.They have to be kinda realistic though. After a set amount of animals killed and gutted you get a hunting perk where the blur/dots on side of screen then become visible.These will help tremendously in finding animals in the woods.;)Could be considered like a woodsman skill and help with hunting but also noticing movement in the woods for any animal. ;) Next is stamina.I swear the devs changed something in 1.7.2.6 since my toon is huffing and puffing like crazy now.I like it but feel that when I walk to catch my breath its like the huffing goes away in a second or two.I think it would be better to have the toon have to walk off the exhaustion for say 60 seconds.Then after one day survival its 30 seconds and after 2 days its instant reduction of the huffing as it stands in game now.But,when huffing I feel the aim should be very erratic to make this gain in fitness a wanted thing that hurts to lose as its annoying to have to walk alot and also not be able to fire weapon as well.So you can still run forever but now you will be huffing and puffing like mad and if you get caught out in an ambush you have to wait a long time to get better aiming ability back.If your in great shape though its the way it is in game right now. Another area that could be a kool effect is when you start making the noises when in panic mode and zeds are nearby.These panic noises should aggro zombies when they are close enough to hear.This way after a set time like 2 days you panic less and so do not cry out like a little bitch and hence will start to believe that your a tough as nails stalker. Medical skill increase(every time you bandage it increases) could be that you then bandage always on first try.To compensate this harsh failure,any bandage attempt starts a slow clotting effect that eventually stops bleeding but you will still lose alot more blood than if you got it the first time around.And blood transfusions give full health every time compared to a chance of screwing up and not getting full health when not adept at it. Mechanical skill increase can have you repair vehicles faster than non skilledl. Hardened constitution could be that you get hungry/thirsty less often and if you go below set blood amount you get a much reduced hand shaking effect from the pain.This weapon shake from pain is not in Dayz but is in Arma2.Its something that Rocket took out of A2 and feel it adds greatly to the feeling of being wounded.Fights being fought when your swaying erratically is great for immersion and getting to the point where you feel less pain would cause real pain if your toon where to die. Back to the hunting and gutting,I think a good way to make it "feel" better is that the steaks you get from an animal have blood boosting stat that raises the more you gut animals.Not drastic but enough to feel a difference.So as skill progresses you find more and more steaks have full 800 blood bonus.Slight annoyance amount though...think like 2 steaks 600blood and the other 2 steaks at 800 etc.

I listen for the sounds of gunshots vehicles and footsteps and bush rustling

Like Cyanyde said - tents will reappear on next server restart. Do the search - upon server restart there might be glitch and tents & vehicles etc aren't loaded from HIVE... just wait for another server restart....

Hmmm.... Someone found my heli & flew it off to the debug planes :/ I had to walk quite a far bit out to get it back :@ (We were already on the edge of map so i just followed the direction he flew in.) Don't Vehicles despawn on the debugging planes!? Damn idiot.

Then the tents are scripted into the server files either by the admin or you having them there for a period of time saved. Tents that aren't scripted can and will be destroyed using explosives, or vehicles.

Don't get me wrong guys, I'm not advocating for side chat or nametags, though I do enjoy side-chat (breaks the monotony of running for miles hearing just the sounds of my footsteps), and I think name-tags would be useful if they weren't so "overpowered" when it comes to PVP (though they are a useful IFF mechanic during combat). What I'm saying is that there should be tools to replace them and make the game more realistic in the fact that, during a zombie-apocalypse, people will naturally band together. Loners would be the exception. Yesterday I was alone and found a car. Decided to use side-chat to get help. Started with one guy, then another and then another. It was extremely tense because we were all waiting for the others to shoot us in the back, but in the end the group started trusting each other and we managed to fix a two Urals and a Chopper. We had some awesome fire-fights around crashed helicopters and at the NWAF (even losing a Ural at a point, but recovering it after) and got even more loot and vehicles (pick-up and motorcyle). This was all possible because I could communicate with people and get a group going through trust and common objectives. The game doesn't facilitate this, and that's where I think it fails. PD: I resent your comment Kryvian, you are entitled to your own opinion of course, but I think it should be possible to you to voice it in a more mature way. Am I to believe you are an immature person? Or am I to understand that perhaps this forum is not the best tool to actually get to know people and perhaps there's more to you than what that simple message you posted seems to give away? This is the same thing that happens in DayZ, people just think others to be CoD kiddies, trolls or simple-minded murderers. The truth is, the world is not THAT full of them, we just don't have the tools to tell them appart from the regular people, who have all been forced to similar behaviours because the game shapes your actions that way. This is where I think the Devs have failed so far, and that's my opinion.

I want to help people too, but I need gear. I want to start something like the "Trusted Medics". I would call it the "Chernarus Coast Gaurd", which would basically patrol the coasts looking for survivors in need of assistance and gear, cleaning up bandits, and patrolling towns and of course; giving medical attention. Anyone in on that? You'd have to start completely from scratch considering I have no vehicles. Though I do have pretty good gear except in weapons and ammo. Any endorsements (in beans), support, or application?

flatten them with frags/vehicles.

I'm all for new players, but playing Insurgency, you see alot of new and unskilled players flocking around the vehicles and rather than contributing to the succes of the mission, they seem to do everything they can to slow everyone else down. Trying playing at night, when shitty pilots crashest several aircraft in the AO, their burning wrecks rendering NVGs completely useless. Trying to locate enemy shooter with a dual rotored damn Chinook hovering 2-30 meters above you. Let's not forget about all the friendly fire from vehicle mounted grenadelaunchers, bombs, mortars and rockets. I'm not saying I agree with the abusive admin in OP's post, I'm just suggesting some players could try a little harder not killing off their own teammates.

I don't know if this has already been discussed in the topic but; -Being able to disassemble parts from cars, both enterable/driveable/repairable ones and the wrecked ones that can't be entered (like the wrecked Humvees that can seen in and around zombie populated areas) but clearly has a couple undamaged tires, would be a fantastic addition. It would make repairing vehicles a little bit easier and would also let players to disassemble certain parts before quitting a server to ensure that whoever is trying to steal the car will at least have a harder time doing it. -Being able to drain fuel from driveable cars (with both using a Jerry Can to save the fuel for later usage or draining it onto ground thus wasting the fuel if one doesn't have a Jerry can): Again, to ensure that people who'll try to steal a vehicle would have a harder time to do so.

tents save fine on my server when they feel like spawning; for whatever reason vehicles and tents simply do not spawn sometimes on restart.

I haven't played in almost two weeks... it's not because I got bored of the game... really I'm just tired of all the hackers.. from my experiences you've got about a 75% chance to run into a hacker on any server with more than 10 players... Tents/Vehicles not saving right, Tears from the barbed wire etc... I realize it's in alpha/beta, but after a while the frustrations from these thing build up.. So for now, I've moved on to another game, same has happened with several of the people I play with as well... we're just gonna wait for the stand alone.... Oh and another factor was suddenly not being able connect to any servers... so.. Tired of the headache of troubleshooting once a week, tired of hackers, tired of bugs.. I'd say a lot of people are getting to the same point.. nothing against the game, but now that there's gonna be a stand alone, only the hardcore beta testers are gonna stick around for all of it

Mix of both, choppers was on electro and cherno hospital. Lee is currently working on a script to reset all vehicles or vehicles and tents on your server so you can have a fresh start for everyone. You can also join their TS and ask him to reset it for you and he will.

Lol yes next time i will save my needs until i'm NOT gaming. I tried retracing my steps with a quad bike but got sniped on the way and lost everything else lol. Pretty bad day if im honest! Logged in, found alllll my tents crushed and a couple of my vehicles gone (only had 2 left out of like 5 xD), thankfully found my chopper wasnt stolen, so i move it, get kicked, and lose that, then (cherry on the cake) i get killed on the way back to the chopper and lose all my gps, nvg, as50, m4 cco sd and other crap like that lol xDDD Anyway, thanks alot for the replies - i will make my way back there tomorrow :D

two weeks ago when they launched the .6 patch our server got smacked pretty badly by a script kiddie that decided to teleport/hide all of our vehicles.. Since they we havent had a single issue with our server. bare in mind that our server never exceeds 20+ people at a given time. People can claim that hackers only target full servers, but I refuse to believe that. I have only experience first hand two incidents that involved hackers and that was on a server that only had two of my friends plus myself and three other people. Dont fool yourself into think that you are safer on low pop servers. If they want to Fuck with you they will.

Im starting to realize this. Ive found plenty of other camps but never any vehicles, im determined though, ill find one eventually.

US 535 (64.79.106.136:2312). I'm not certain, but I think the hacker is ZIMOS. That name showed up on my crosshairs one of the times I was teleported and there didn't appear to be anyone else around. He's teleported all the vehicles to one location too. His still doing right now. I'm sure he's expecting me to log off, but I'm just going to let him keep doing it as long as he can. Hopefully an admin can check the logs now that I've made it known and there's a name to check against (I don't know how all that works...).

the west side sweep will take a good while and dont do it unless you got 2 others to cover 2 other grids as well as yourself/each other. Edit: i could go all day with this tbh but the big big camps will be in the west or the north. Vehicles are hard to find unless they're in a major camp. vehicles for personal use and between friends will be the hardest to find.
