Same, so far we have lost: 2 offroad trucks 2 motorcycles 3 buses 1 red UAZ 1 grey GAZ 1 S1203 1 helicopter This happened over a couple of days, as we tend to lose our vehicles often, because we don't hoard them for no reason. Usually convoys or food/fuel trips. Along with these lost vehicles was a fuckton of gear. Cool, they fixed tents, but they broke vehicles. Of course.

Off-road Military Pickup is beast. It's too bad that they're usually destroyed - which takes 7 days to respawn - or hoarded. Hoarding is now occurring more because vehicles actually save now. Good luck on finding one! Use this map to find vehicle spawns: http://dayzdb.com/map That site also has nice weapon and vehicle comparisons, it's got a Lingor loot map, too. It's really nice.

anyone out there know where a UAZ GAZ offroad pickup, or skoda is? i will offer anything i can for a working or damaged vehicle

Playing US 3392 this evening, my friends and I were able to fix up a V3S and an S1203, we drove them up north and got a message that server restart was in 6 minutes. We parked them in trees, exited the vehicles and hit 'Save V3S' and 'Save S1203' via our action menus then waited for server down, which was still about 4-5 minutes away. We waited a few minutes after we got our 'no message received' messages and logged back in, the vehicles were gone. Is this a server issue, or did we do something wrong?

Our group has the helicopter, plus a bit extra. The helicopter saves from the back window, scroll over it and look down. Be sure to have jerry cans on the chopper, as all our vehicles at this point spawn in on a restart with no fuel.

I hear you. Personally I think it isn't just ridiculous, its borderline embarrassing to get continuously ganked and our vehicles removed by fuck-wit hackers on a server my squad pays for, without the ability to control who can access the server. I can see why the devs want open servers on the main hive. I can see why people report, name and shame abusive admin. But sadly, it seems it might be getting to the stage were if we aren't breaking admin rules, we're just idiots. I've been admin kicked from other servers so many times I've lost count. I see locked servers and 3-4 slot servers connected to the main hive on DayZCommander all the fuckin' time. The temptation to do the same is getting to us. The first day I get some squad action going on with my friends we see a chopper circling above us. We dive into the bushes as the chopper descends about 20 meters away from us and I stop shitting my pants for long enough to equip my rifle and take a closer look to see how many people are on board. Two bandits, the chopper rotates, one pointing the side mounted machine gun right at my face. I take him out, watch the chopper land and then cap the pilot. At this point I'm pretty much convinced I'm the craftiest motherfucker alive. Buzzing off the adrenaline of one of our first player encounters we loot that shit and crawl away so utterly stoked that we have gear we've never seen and a chopper. Sadly, five minutes later, my friend sees a ghillie suited guy appear right behind me, unload half a magazine into me, then the same happens to him. I'm pretty butt-hurt about that. QQ. But nah, we'll continuously keep seeing our hard work and commitment to this fantastic mod undone by said assmasters. Infact, it just makes me want to be nicer to any player out there that isn't a hacker and isn't obviously coming right at me. It's hard to find a game that makes my heart beat double-time and on that alone I think Rocket and his fellows have made something truly special. Battle-Eye will get better, most hackers will lose interest and wonder off, hopefully into oncoming traffic. No hackers will soften the hype-boner I'm carrying for DayZ.

It might come back afte server restart, sometimes missing vehicles come back after that. PS: Was it stored in a ditch surrounded by rocks near black lake?

Yup, you need to constant switch the debug monitor on and off, it is a pretty annoying bug... sadly there's no other indicator (ie: during the night) of your current status (normally a person should know easily if he's bleeding.. if he lost much blood.. and stuff like that). The artifacts have been fixed for the dead soldiers but sadly not for the barbwire, so they still there in certain places (unfortunately they are many), they half fixed the bug *but* they introduced new bugs as well (the already mentioned hud icons bug.. the vehicles not saving fuel.. etc.). ...waiting for a proper patch, hoping it won't be another step back. :(

Good news, Restarted my server like 5x and tents and vehicles are now there!

It does spawn in random spots. It just SEEMED like it only spawned in Skalisty during 1.7.2.5 because vehicles weren't saving, therefore new servers during that time (like mine) never moved onward from the initial spawn locations for vehicles. Check dayzdb.com's map for the list of potential spawn points. There's many other car spawns that don't spawn anything on "first vehicle set" either. You'll see more randomized vehicle spawn locations later as you lose/regain vehicles. Vehicles will respawn at their last known good location as long as no one has SAVED the vehicle in its exploded state. This also could explain why you saw a previously exploded Huey a few hours later (next server restart). If someone SAVES the exploded chopper, The Hive registers it as dead and you have to wait 7 days. For instance I've seen an exploded V3S, ATV, Motorcycle, all respawn in their last saved repair state and location (separate days/times/restarts) because no one had saved the exploded vehicle before next restart. My server's chopper was repaired on Saturday by someone and promptly shot down/crashed in Cherno about 15 minutes later. Ah well, 7 days wait it is! Choppers aren't that great anyway. I had one with my squad for 4 days straight. It is annoying having to try to hide it, and even worse thinking how fucked you are if it gets stolen and you have no quick transportation back to your camp/etc. The mounted M240s are a wildcard because desync issues and general heli movement make them so hard to be accurate with. With the helicopter insta-repair bug fixed even a pea shooter can blow out a windscreen and make it leak fuel like mad. Anyone with a decent rifle can take out your rotor and send you into the earth. It shouldn't be any other way, either. Choppers are very fragile. The repair bug also needed fixing, but it just further cements why I didn't even try and repair it and won't even be looking for it next week. They're just not worth the trouble. A UAZ is the optimal vehicle in my opinion. I would love to see some non-combatant choppers introduced. Like let's say two "news" choppers. Nothing but a spotlight. Helicopters rule for transportation, so making 2 or 3 news helicopters per server spawn that's only use was transportation would be quite awesome. One request, though. A built-in loud speaker so I can fly it through cherno/elektro and yell to the new spawns "Hey there. Safen up down there." while shining the spot light directly at them. :D

Yes, you are. We ignore them because you keep spamming and posting the same ideas over and over again. Haven't seen a single post on your threads about grammar, even though I'm sure everyone noticed that it is very poor. i think house building should be added You really think that has never been suggested? finding rain coats and hoodies to help against rain and storms should be added. http://dayzmod.com/f...g-animals-more/ http://dayzmod.com/f...ing-with-perks/ mini nuclear shelters should be added in forests with a hunting rifle and a box of bullets and a few tins of food and a safe place to hide. Underground shelters already being added. Also as thoroughly discussed many many times safe hiding places ruin the game's intention. more cars should be added that do not need repairing as not every car in chernarus would have been destroyed adding more cars is not such a bad thing. http://dayzmod.com/f...about-vehicles/ http://dayzmod.com/f...nd-helicopters/ larger hospitals with 4 or 5 floors the hospital could be completely dark but there could be a generator in the basement that you could fuel up to turn on the lights. Already being implemented into the standalone. but for good measure: http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/84369-buildings-with-a-purpose/page__hl__hospitals tools for self transfusion of blood packs should be added so not everybody needs a friend to heal themselves. This argument again? more areas such as waterfalls and streams (im irish and the landscape is similar to chernarus here). http://dayzmod.com/f...her-mapsbiomes/ beating zombies to death should be added say you see a zombie you should be able to grab him and punch punch punch or slam his head into a wall rambo style Yea sure. Is AABB the combo for that? pistols such as the makarov need more damage as i met a bandit today and i fired a full mag from my pistol into him and he did not die. but i dont think he was a hacker because it has taken me full clips to kill people before. http://dayzmod.com/f...age#entry820531 more new maps need to be added lingore island was the best dayz map i've seen so far i think alaska or london or washington D.C would be good maps. http://dayzmod.com/f...her-mapsbiomes/ a solo mode should be added so players can just play in co op or on their ownl Again, not a revolutionary idea. This was already started but Rocket shut it down. i think there should be a new very large dayz map...SET IN WW2 EASTERN FRONT WITH LEE ENFIELDS PPSH'S MP40'S MP44'S MOSIN NAGANT'S AND STALINGRAD OR KURSK. So basically DayZ in a different map (original idea) and different guns (surprise! another original idea) i know this has been suggested before but this game needs the abillity to milk cows and get honey from bees hives and churn butter. If you know has been suggested, DON"T suggest it. lingor island needs more lush jungles with lurking zombies. http://dayzmod.com/f...her-mapsbiomes/ i always prefer lingor because it has more searchable buildings and loot. Ok, thank you for informing us. hypothermia should be added. http://dayzmod.com/f...and-heat-packs/ http://dayzmod.com/f...weapon-changes/ Clearly you need to be instructed on the use of a search bar. All of these topics took me under a minute to find.

I just recently found: http://dayzhq.com/map/ the map seems to be more up to date than the dayzdb.com map, I've compared it and the dayzdb map is missing several spawn points for vehicles where I personally found vehicles but were not listed on the dayzdb map.

the tents are saving and so are vehicles!! oh.. OH... AAAHH! dont touch it! i need a sammich!!!

Date/Time: 9/8/12 late night to 9/9/12 afternoon What happened: Last night a friend an I found a vehicle which we brought to our camp with the rest of our vehicles, so in total we had a UAZ, Tractor, and a V3S Civilian. Before we dropped off our vehicles at the camp and logged off, we refueled all the vehicles to maximum at a fuel station. The V3S was green on all statuses, the Tractor had some engine damage, and the UAZ had some engine and wheel damage. We parked all our vehicles for the night and logged off at around 2:00 AM EST 9/9/12. Today we logged back in and got in the vehicles and 2 things happened to the condition. One, the condition statuses for all vehicles were green, I don't really mind this because now we don't have to repair our vehicles. But the second thing is that all our fuel in the tanks were gone, and I mean 0% for all vehicles. Fortunately we had plenty of jerry cans to fill up and go to a gas station and everything was fine after that. Where you were: In the wilderness, don't want to disclose camp location. What you were doing: Fueled up our vehicles and logged off for the night, but it looks like after the server restarted while we were away, our vehicles repaired themselves but lost all their fuel, including the vehicle that was 100% repaired. Current installed version: ArmA II: 96584 DayZ: 1.7.2.6 Server(s) you were on: US 880

Try out the Vilayer private hive. Less people will join your server, due to the fact it is not 'official'. Vehicles spawn instantly, you can turn up the amount of vehicles in the map as well.

There is a big chance that whenever the server restarts again your tents will be there. Happens sometimes; after server restart no tenst or vehicles spawn.

I just sent a FRIENDLY request for someone on the DayZ team to look into getting vehicles in my new Vilayer server. We will see how this NON-RETARDED approach works.

That really sucks man. I'm glad you liked it until that point. There's nothing I can do personally. However, tell me your in game name and I'll contact ViLayer and see if there's anything they can do. If you don't want to post your name in public, shoot me a PM. In the meantime, give our Chernarus server a try. It's a pretty new server so there's still a bunch of vehicles around.

Just the same as many of you, myself and two friends have turned to private Hives to get away from the cheaters and low life's that can't play the game with out glitching and so on. I'm not sure about the rest of you but I somewhat expect private hives to step up and admin their servers banning cheaters, people that alt+f4 & so forth. We have been bouncing around various private Hives and gearing up and playing for a bit and tend to stay there until we decide to move on. Our focus is PVP and we tend to do a lot of banditry. I just wanted to give some basic reviews of servers we or myself have played on, so others might get a better idea on where the good servers that are worth playing on. This is by no means a full list of all private Hives just basic reviews of where we have played. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1) Rinaun.com server(s) 209.222.93.26:2302 (have to register at their forums to get server password) I've played at their servers mostly as a solo player but I played there for easily 2 weeks exclusively when I was almost ready to quit DayZ thanks to hackers. Probably of any non Hive server(s) I've ever played on their admin's were on the ball most. In the time I played here, I've only ran into one hacker whom was quickly banned. They also ban people that Alt+F4 and the admins will search through logs to get names & deal with people duping weapons/Alt+F4ing. These guys tend to be on the ball as far as setting up the servers well and we had tents that saved on this server long before they were fixed with any offical patch. The server is edited to make things much more interesting when it comes to vehicles as they have reduced car/truck spawns in exchange to adding more motorcycle/ATV & bicycle spawns. This means it's much easier for non clan guys to get access to transportation as it cuts down on vehicle hoarding to just use them as glorified tents. The only thing I'm not 100% on but it seem interesting is the community is working on adding more building around the map. I like the idea on one hand but I'm uncertain how it will effect the game play but it will still be interesting to see how this progresses. (It's also nice to discover a new building location for the first time again) Game play wise most players are friendly if you are on the server's TS and you announce yourself but if not you will likely get shot. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Born to Lose Private Hive 208.167.240.191:2302 I played on this server for a few days with 2 friends and as a group were becoming very active PVPing here. Overall it was an enjoyable experience but they need either more admins or to become much more strict on banning people that routinely alt+F4. I will say I probably had one of the most intense firefights on this server that I've had in any FPS, At the time it was just two of us playing and my partner was killed just as I made it to his location. I ended up getting pinned down in the Elektro Cafe with only a AK holding 2 clips of ammo a 1911 and 1 frag grenade. I was pinned down by a guy on the school roof shooting in the windows any time I moved, 1 guy behind the building & one guy inside. I managed getting hits on the guy inside two times and chased him out with my frag grenade just as my partner made it back to town, found a gun & managed to get a few hit on the guy whom was on the school roof. This fight went on over 20 mins and in the en d we manged to over turn a serious disadvantage, forcing the attackers off. I had 6 rounds left in my AK and nothing else. We went through several lives on this server and it ended with us finding a Bus & then dying to a hacker as we drove north. We lost our bus and all the gear we had accumulated to a single hacker that was left roaming free on the server for well over an hour. I personally joined their TS3 and reported the hacker but was told something was not working right with their server and they couldn't ban him. After dying two times to the hacker we logged out and later upgraded to the latest ARMA beta patch and can't rejoin the server at this point. Overall the server was enjoyable and I'm sure I will play there again, but IMO they need more admins &/or the admins needs to be more on the ball. We also had a few player Alt+F4 during combat on this server and it would be nice to see the admins taking a hard-line on this and start banning them. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Asylum - US#01 (216.144.246.139:2302) We joined this server yesterday after upgrading to the latest beta patch, hoping to fix a few bugs we were getting with the game. This was the only private HIVE that was running all the latest patches and that had a decent ping/player count at the time. I first joined & spawned in Kamenka & ran north to check the near by tree stands. Right off the bat I find a DMR & a Kobra in the 1st tree stand I checked and knew I was going to be on a good run. I could only take one gun due to still having my starter back pack so I took the DMR and headed toward Zeleno in hopes to find a pack pack & supporting gear. Along the way I find a bike that appeared to be a new spawn, but everything was red on it and it's wouldn't move. About the time I managed to gear up with the basics, one of my friends logged in so I ran back down to meet him & to help him gear up. We both geared up with a pretty decent amount of players on the server but we didn't run across any actual contacts expect 1 noob spawn at the start. We heard a few gun shots here & there but overall our gearing up process was pretty quiet. We ended up back in Cherno having several firefights with other players, my favorite being 3 guys on a roof top, two of which I managed single shot kills to the heads with my DMR, then we killed 2 more insider the apartments that we were in. We had a few different random fire fights and random encounters as well as a battle of patience with 2 other players near the Cherno Church which resulted in no kills. The PVP was pretty good on this server once we were geared up "BUT" and this is a very big but.. we tallied out with something like 11 murders & 2 or 3 bandit kills but out of those kills easily 50-60% of the players on this server used alt+F4 to chicken out/escape. (4 of the guys we killed alt+f4'd after they died so we couldn't get their loot the rest were actual combat log outs) The Admins seriously need to get on the ball and give players a way to report people whom alt+F4 & start banning them. I've played most of my time in DayZ on private Hive servers and so far this server was the worst for having players whom alt+F4. Getting back to our time on the server we racked up quite a few kills by this time & had not died once. we were running out of Cherno when I randomly find a working bicycle as we ran through an open field. This was like the 3rd bike we had found since we joined the server that day but the 1st that worked. My friend was low on ammo and we had some gear stashed up north, so I took the bike and headed for the gear while he headed to Balota airfield to look for a new gun or ammo. Along my ride up north I was checking bike spawns in hope of getting us a second.. (I assume there must have been a recent server wipe for us to find so many bikes or the admins have added extras) I had zero luck finding a 2nd bike and by the time I got back he had zero luck finding any ammo for his AKM, but found a M16 with a single clip in Balota and knew where a 2nd clip was back in Cherno. We both meet back in Cherno (dark out) and with pure dumb luck I run right past another bike that was stashed next to a building.. (yes, after running around half the map looking for a 2nd bike we find the 2nd right back where we started) Having two bikes we head to Elecktro and see some poor sucker in the firehouse with a glow stick as we ride by.. We killed the poor guy hoping he would have some sort of gun or more ammo for my friend M16. Sadly the poor guy just had basic gear & a crossbow. We headed north to raid the N/W airfield on our bikes & after a quick run through Stary we headed through the open fields where our fun was quickly ended by running both our bikes straight into a grass filled lake that wasn't more than waist deep water.. As much as we tried we couldn't free our bikes from the depths of this mud pit. We continued on and were geared up pretty well but entering the south barrack I was shot in the back by a coward whom alt +F4'd right as my partner landed a grenade on him. This was the first death either of us had on this server and sadly it came by the hands of yet another chicken whom was scared to lose his stuff. Ironically enough my partner still got the kill on him but his body disappeared due to him Alt+F4'n leaving no loot. We managed to secure my gear and logged out. We will continue on for a bit more on this server as it was a pretty active server but as I mentioned prior the admins seriously need to get on the ball here. Outside of the plague of Alt+F4 retards the server ran very well and finding bikes so easily (much like on Rinaun's server) might of been a fluke due to server wipe, (I dunno) but it made our travels a bit more enjoyable while we had them. I'm hoping we just had a lot of bad luck with the alt+f4 cowards but only time will tell. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This turned into a blog mid way through the post.. but I'll try to update with game-play/admin reviews on the private Hive servers we join over the next few weeks.

I found a chopper crash with 2 as50's and an m107 yesterday, each as50 had 3 mags of NATO rounds. I nearly shat my pants, afterwards I replaced all my m107 rounds for the as50 I already had with the NATO rounds. Sure it's less ammo but I'm probably just going to be using it to take down vehicles anyways seeing as how I play almost exclusively at night.

You have it all wrong. No one is deciding to "give" or "not give" your server vehicles. All servers SHOULD have vehicles at some point. I *thought* brand new servers didn't get vehicles right off the bat. But, I obviously have no such insider information and I could very well be flat out wrong. The only people capable of answering your question are DayZ staff. A DayZ forum staff member has *already* directed you to go to the IRC channel and talk to the DayZ staff there. There may be a bug, there may not be. I don't know. My only point was you made the most asshole post ever to the DayZ forum staff accusing them of intentionally refusing you vehicles. I'd recommend following up as Legacy has already directed you to do over 6 and a half hours ago. I don't know how DayZ support works when you're not the direct instance ID holder. If you were the instance ID holder, as I am, the best route is lodging a support ticket through their support system. But yeah, I have no idea why you don't have vehicles good sir. Contact the proper people RATIONALLY and CALMLY. I bet you'll get quicker responses and people will *want* to help you then. Try it sometime.

Very funny, I logged in and made my way back to camp, not 2 minutes after I got there you flew over with the chopper (as if you could track us). Shot your friend in the head with my M14SD and you left. More clan members logged in and we heard the chopper fly over again. I followed the sound and found the chopper landed about 5000m north of our camp near a tent. Took it and made my way back to camp where I was shot down while landing and died. I logged back and wow, banned. Flying that chopper was the only thing I did that could explain the ban since I didn't use any "new" vehicles other than the clan's owned ones same goes with the gear. It is safe to assume the chopper was probably hacked and I got banned because it showed on the logs I used it. I find it hard to believe joe random would join the server, find a chopper, fly it all day, plus your saying it was our chopper which is quite a lie, since we were looking for it yet didn't find it yet. Then you found the camp a minute or so after I got there as if you had hacks to track people. I shot your friend and when I checked the body I saw that he had ALL the gear, NVG, range finder, as50, m14sd, camo ANNNND a radio ???? (since when is there a radio in DAYZ). I found it very suspicious to start with, the rest pretty much confirm what I thought.

I repeat Is there a reason for not giving me (and a lot of more people) a server with vehicles? :|

what do you mean it's not marked on your map anywhere? trying to keep a vehicle on a recruit server (players/npcs/vehicles appear on map) is just ridiculous to begin with.

Hey guys. So pretty much here's the story, my friends and I used to play on a server with a great ruleset, no nametags, no 3rd person, no tracers. But when the hacking started getting really bad they decided to go to a private hive and we followed, up until 2 days ago it had been great. We were pretty much the dominating force on the server, had 2 helicopters and a few vehicles etc They even respawned us a few times when we got killed by a hacker or spawned with no gear. Anyway, we knew there were less than legitimate players on the server, ie the admin tent duping stuff and even unspawning his helicopter when he went offline. We played with a few randoms and they tried to dupe our gear as well zzz We know the admin was duping stuff because we killed him 4 times in 1 day, 2 times stole both of his helicopters, and he was fully geared up each time. This didn't mind us to much, we just carried on doing our PVP thing. We are all 100% legitimate players, we save tents when taking stuff out etc. But 2 days ago we all got banned, they said we were 'hacking and exploiting'. We asked why they thought this and asked for examples, not one single one was given, nothing even suggesting it. They also said we were 'bullying' other groups even though there's no way of telling who is who until they're dead... I'm curious to hear other peoples thoughts on this, do you do this on your private servers? Do you try and force people to play a certain way or do you let people play however they want to? This isn't a rant thread, I am just truely curious.
