Hey there! My name is Merlin, inGame and outGame ;) I bought Dayz about 1 month ago and I love it. The game is brilliant. It creates so much tension! Really, one of the few games that actually have that tension and definitely the only game, which makes my hand shake when you're about to loot at Northwest Airfield or at the firestation in "Cherno" how people call it because no one can really pronounce it properly. I think the intensity is mostly created by the player interaction. For example you're very nervous (at least I am) whilst crossing the whole Northwest Airfield. Nervous, because I know high geared sniper squads like to camp and kill everyone trying to approach the barracks, fire station or the hangars. Also it is very hard to find good gear. The more excited you are if you discover a helicopter crash site hoping to find good weapons and maybe a gillie suit. And if you do you're even more careful about what you do. Now I think, you can imagine how proud I was when I eventually scavenged all the good gear, GPS, Rangefinders SVD Camo, M9 etc. Really, the first time in my whole "Dayz Life" I was really happy with my equiptment. Even proud. I couldn't have imagined that a game can take you so much into it (sorry for my bad English, it's not my native language...) Anyways, now the part which I am NOT proud of... Yesterday I was travelling on the very west side of the map near "Sosnovka" above "Zelenogorsk" looking for vehicles since I hadn't found one yet. I planned to set up a small camp to store everything I found. Well, as you know there has been a new patch released recently. 1.7.2.6 I was actually looking forward to it since it was supposed to fix those weird graphic glitches. I wasn't able to loot military areas before, I used to go onto empty servers and then run blind through the military areas in order to get some loot. But besides that it brought another glitch with it: Your interface was not shown. Eventually I found the solution. You had to change some options in the game menu. What I didn't know was that the interface was still bugged. You weren't able to see if you needed food or water. It always showed "green" symbols. I didn't realize until my screen went black and white as you lose blood. My blood was at about 6000 by that time and still I had my "badass" equiptment. First I thought I was bleeding. So I bandaged myself, but obviously it didn't work. 5500 Blood...And I still didn't know what was going on. 5000 Blood...By then I asked some friends on teamspeak what it meant to lose about 10 Blood every 2-3 Seconds. They said I need food and water. Now I was confused...I mean it was all green! Well anyway...Luckily I had some Beans with me, but I just had an empty water bottle. My blood was still shrinking... I looked on the map. Nothing. No lake around me. And the next "residential area was quite a whiel aways as well. ( I was in the "green woods" to that time) I knew I wasn't going to reach the area or a lake soon enough. I still had all my good gear, I had scavenged over the last few days. Now my question is: What would you have done? I certainly did the wrong thing. I did try to cheat (script? I don't know..) I watched a video on youtube on "how to cheat items". So I tried it..And it didn't work. After that I was globally banned. All I wanted was some water! I know I did the wrong thing and I'd like to apologize for that. I cant change what I've done. And I know as well that I did do the wrong thing. And I know that I won't be unbanned. Ouh, that's longer than I expected :D Now back to my topic: What would you have done? I'm really curious to hear your opinions. I'd really like to hear your opinions ;) Happy hunting! Merlin

So langsam gehts mir echt auf die Nerven. Das nächste Update was wieder mehr schlechter gemacht hat, als das es verbessert hat. Ganz gehörig auf den Sack geht mir das der Server alle 1,5-2 Stunden einfach die Verbindung verliert (kein Hoster Problem, denn der 1.7.2.5 Server ist die ganze Zeit online). Mit dem Bug das dann alle Fahrzeuge kein Benzin mehr haben nach dem Restart, macht das Spiel echt gar keine Laune mehr. Ich habe den Server wieder auf 1.7.2.4 zurückgespielt, da funktionieren wenigstens alle Grundfunktionen um Spass am Spiel zu haben. Leider bleibt der Server fast leer. Ist mir aber mittlerweile egal, denn ich werde den Server kündigen. Irgendwie habe ich das Gefühl, das es nicht wirklich besser wird, und eigentlich war ja genug Zeit um es wirklich signifikant zu verbessern. In 13 Tagen wird ein anderes Spiel zur open Beta, genau dann läuft der Server aus, also passt das zu 100%. Scheint wohl eine Fügung des Schicksals zu sein. Ich sehs nicht mehr ein Geld für einen Server auszugeben für ein Spiel, was nicht wirklich verbessert wird und nicht aus den Kinderkrankheiten herauskommt. Für alle die wissen wollen, welches Spiel ich meine, denen gebe ich gerne per PM Auskunft. EN: Slowly walk me real pain. The next update what has once more made ​​worse, as it has improved. A vengeance on the bag to me that the server is all about 1.5-2 hours just loses the connection (no Hoster problem because the 1.7.2.5 server is online all the time). With the bug then all the vehicles have run out of gas after the restart, the game is really no more mood. I have restored the server back to 1.7.2.4, as work at least all the basic functions to enjoy the game to have. Unfortunately, the server remains low. But now I do not care because I will terminate the server. Somehow I have the feeling that there is not really any better, and was actually enough time to improve it really significantly. In 13 days is a different game for the open beta, then the server just runs out, so that fits 100%. Seems to be a twist of fate. I no longer sehs a money for a server to pay for a game that is not really improved and not coming out of the childhood diseases. For those who want to know what game I mean, where I'll give you information via PM. Sorry for googletranslation.

Server's still borked post the attack and all the vehicles spawn in one place (that the hacker dumped them in). The tents while moved to a single loaction last night, post reset have returned to the original locations and seem to have the loot within them so thats a bonus. Frankly, the hacker issue is far more widespread than i had first imagined. Being a new server admin on this game its really a massive pain in the ass to deal with, especially when you get folk like the OP who seem to assume the reason for locking a server is to steal other peoples stuff, thats pretty sick. I've just respawned three times at different locations along the south coast, been killed each time by players...trying to return the vehicles to aproximate spawn loactions so I can the restart the server and test if they return to the hacked loaction or stay in the aproximate location I've left them. I am not trying to steal anyones gear, nor am i trying to make anyones gaming time more angst ridden than it has to be. All I (and the reast of the admins) are trying to do is provide a decent gaming experiance for the regular players. Of course I can only apologise for any inconvenience caused to players as a result of the hacker issue, however I would stress that we're trying to return to normal service as soon as possible, that would have been quicker if we had kept the server locked so we didn't die on every run but thats the game as it is :)

I can confirm that vehicles work but tents do NOT seem to be saving anything. I gotta say, I get concerned with this stuff as it relates to the standalone. Just seems like shoddy work, fix one thing, break 5 others. Hopefully the quality of work will be different Update, one tent seems to work... Maybe this has to do something with who accesses it. Will post more when I figure it out Update2, The other tent I had did appear to work. At one point it appeared empty, now it is full. I gotta apologize for my concern if it stays this way

Can someone give some resources on how to analyse logs? We had 4 vehicles spawned on skalitsky. We shot two players nearby and looked at their logs and found the following edit: never mind..

Of course. I'm always paranoid about saving. But at least the vehicles seem to work. I had a bunch of car parts in my atv and they got saved. Lost my stuff in the tent next to it though. WTF is going on. also I had pitched two tents in the same server before the update. They were still there yesterday after the update. So I put some medical supplies in there. Today those tents disappeared not to mention the supplies inside them.

Of course many are going to complain about it because they don't find vehicles, and rightly so. You shouldn't have to live infront of your computer or be a part of a large group to be able to actively use vehicles in DayZ. The gameplay in DayZ would greatly benefit if it wasn't possible to hoard vehicles off map. It is not fun to spend all of the time required to repair a vehicle only to see it has disappeared the next day, and to know it might be pointless to even look for it because there's a strong probability it will have been stored out of bounds. So you seriously think that players should have to search the map for 2-4 hours, and then switch server if they don't find anything? That's a fun type of gameplay you are defending.

So, Tents and Vehicles save now? They don't get eaten by the server? Is this confirmed?

Hello, We were just playing DayZ innocently with a friend when we got killed by a cheater !! This guy was spawning vehicles (bycicles), and was shooting with a Scoped PKM at us... He was in Electro ! The server was DE 1620. His name was FroZz. He is still playing while im writing ! Please global ban this cheater before hi kills more people ... At the moment my friend has just been teleported with all the guys on the server and they are getting killed by FroZz ... This is just annoying please ban him !

levik xabarok * Server this happened on; FR 141 * 15:15-16:00 * Players Levik and Xabarok teleported all the vehicles and all the tents to one location so they can snipe people as they try to get them. I was in a vehicle as it happened,they are still there now. Couldn't get a screenshot because they are fucking dicks who teleport and kill you. Don't go on the server people!

My first story involves a hacker. So me and my clan mates just found a megaload of stuff (as you can tell from my current load out, scripted-in items), well guess what, it was a trap. Our spotter guy (aka. guy who stays back to watch out for people while raiding a camp) noticed someone running towards my location, and not just any slow jog we see everyday, this guy was the faging flash (if I remember right, his username was SAMSUNG, he keeps changing names though, but it's always caps). So I ordered for a tactical retreat, but for every meter we cover, he would cover say.. 200m and spraying at whatever his last location was. Eventually we made it to Elektro and holed up in the fire house and brought out our packed sniper rifles (except for me, since well, I started rolling with one as my primary). A hour long, long-range shoot out happened. AS50s, M107s, the hole shebang of sniper rifles, laser gun sounds echoed through out Elektro. He wouldn't just keep still, as in in less than 10 minutes, he took up so many different 400-600m range from us positions. Eventually, we were able to get a lucky round onto him, and bam dead. Now this second involves a hot helicopter evac. 3 guys from C squad went on their normal scavenge rounds, and were ambushed in Cherno. I received a text from my counterpart from C asking for helicopter evac, so I sent a text to my squad's chopper pilot and one of the other guys (each squad has their own individual vehicle, for example, A has the chopper, B has vehicles, C is foot). I (taking the crew chief position), my pilot and the gunner, lifted from our base, and after a quick check of GPS coordinates, proceeded to the fight. Once we arrived in Cherno, we were able to draw fire from the enemy by coming in fast and low (and of course with guns blazing), after a couple of passes and assuming that they probably fled due to the presence of air support, we landed at the marked red smoke EZ, but the moment we touched down, they started firing again, but thanks to this being a game and the fact you can load people onto a vehicle fast, we were able to do a quick exit, although it sorta cost our chopper (A ton of near red-statuses, except for oil). I know my clanmate was able to record it, dunno what he's doing with the vid though.

Yeah, sorry I meant 1.7.2.6, but anyway. That seems like a possibility and I understand your skepticism. However: A. My tent was located in a thick forest with cliffs and hills and no roads for at least a mile. I highly doubt anyone would drive their vehicle here. B. My tent was located in a highly remote location, far from any points of interest, and it was extremely well hidden next to a large rock and two bushes. It's invisible unless you know exactly where it is. C. My ATV had 2 jerry cans, 1 engine part, 1 fuel tank part, and 1 scrap metal all left intact inside. If I were a looter with a vehicle I would definitely consider these valuable items. D. I forgot to mention that I had two of my old tents up about 30 meters away with some medical supplies in them, hidden but not as well as my newest one. They completely disappeared after server restart. Which leads me to believe that the glitch still exists. However the vehicles seems to be fixed. For now I recommend using vehicles as your main storage device.

ts.survivingthehorror.net Hop on our team speak server and talk to our admin: smKes We actually have 2 clans STH (Surviving the horror) & CTH (Creating the horror), you will decide wich one will you join. We have at this moment 2 Private Hive Servers. STH vs VTH #1 Lingor Island Private Hive (24/7) Vehicles & STH vs CTH #1 Chernarus Private Hive (24/7) Vehicles. :) Welcome.

vehicles Correct behaviour is to return to their last saved location on server reset. last saved location is where a player either exited the vehicle or manually saved it. 1.7.2.5 caused many... (but not all) vehicles to return to their spawn every server reset, regardless of them being destroyed or not. With 1.7.2.6 they will again return to wherever they were last saved. I'm pretty sure the people who have legitimately gathered a dozen vehicles at one time have a general idea of how they work. And the name's Insolentfool, not ignorantfool.

Oh and by the way, the server locked at around 8pm last night to try to get the vehicles to respawn, it unlocked at around 2pm today so your perception of time passing may be impaired. Come get your stuff and move along mate.

Right, here goes. Listen up you muppet, swearing at us isn't going to do you any favours. Yesterday we were hacked at least 5 times. I was on the coast when a hacker teleported next to me and dropped a glory box, here's the proof http://www.theoldgitsarmy.co.uk/forums/index.php?threads/uhx-hacker.5379/ The people behind Dayz don't do anything about reports of hackers. Trying to get them banned is harder than hunting for rocking horse poo. The server was not locked so we could raid tents, and your admittance to wanting to raid tents just shows us how much of a moronic player you are. Server was locked to prevent these idiots from teleporting people, vehicles etc to the sodding island. If you have a problem with our server, then feel free to join our forum and post a complaint. Our server admins and players are probably double and even triple your age. MTFU and stop moaning.

We say hacking becasue I added 5 players to the ban list for either making themselves invisible or for moving all items around the map. At two different occations yesterday the server was attacked, first time all players were teleported into the sea, second time all items/vehicles were sent to the islands off Solnichiy. The password was added so we could destroy the vehicles on the island and force them to respawn for all players to use, but since you're already so sure that the admin team are only here to "steal your stuff" (which is entirely pathetic by the way), please carry on with your misguided opinions. We're trying to run a stable server with decent admin as all our servers are run, however thats very difficult to achieve when for trying to do the right thing we get flamed in forums. Here's a thought, instead of coming making stuff up about the motives of our admins, why dont you come talk to us, we have an open TS and an open forum and would be more than happy for you to come along and get your stuff, which should still be there unless it was saved on the beach in a tent moved by the hackers that attacked our server yesterday. As for "no hacking happened this is an excuse" please dont try to tell me something different from the server logs or the people I got screamed at by last night because they'd been on the server during both hacking attacks. In the mean time, please come get your "stuff" of the server so I can bin the thing at billing time, running this server is way too much trouble and frankly I'm not used to this being an entirely thankless task.

I think this is part of the problem...but there is a duality to it; A large clan should have the right to feel if they have worked hard in gathering what they need or want they have earned it. Now I think its highly unethical that people hoard items/vehicles off the map but that technically is not the players fault its the games. Don't hate the player, hate the game is all im saying (proverbially speaking of course, because I generally have respect for my fellow players and this game)

Good job fixing the vehicles, but what the hell? Tents are NOT fixed. I repeat, tents are NOT FIXED. Yesterday I put my as50 and 5 mags in a brand new tent that I pitched in a highly secluded spot in a relatively empty server (that was updated of course). I parked my ATV next to it as well. Today the tent is absolutely empty. I know it was not looted because the ATV (also with some valuables inside which was thankfully saved) should have been gone as well if it were looted. This is what I get for having too much faith in a glitch-ridden game like this.

Honestly no hording of loot is acceptable. I don't care if that is how you like to play the game or "tough luck" For what reason does a clan of 10 people need 6 fucking cars a helicopter and 2 motorbikes. Tell me in what situation you could use all of these? For what reason would you need all of these? What is the point? Is your clans mission of the dayZ to go find more fucking vehicles, repair them and bring them back to an off-map location so that they can just sit there like a trophy that no one but you and your neck bearded clan can see? Yeah I find vehicles, Yeah I lose them. Im in a duo team in which I have only found 2 ATV's EVER. Bicycles are used as bait and I have lived and learnt that. Any other fucking vehicle, well goodluck finding it "apparently" if you are solo because they want to prove a point that CLANS should only ever have high end loot stored away for no intentional use. It would be nice if you would perhaps throw a noob a car just because you can/will find it again. DOUCHES

well it would make sense to have the tractor being one of the vehicles that could move it because you can see that it has the hook up thingy but im not sure what else does

I did post on that section for the purpose of getting more people and tell new players of the benefits of a private hive server. :( My thread was meant exactly for new players who are looking for friendly, hackerfree gameplay. The benefits of playing on private hives is exactly that tents and vehicles do save as intended and that the hacker counter measures usually are a lot better than possible on the public hive. New players don't go to this section when they come on the forum. They do not learn about the benefits of private contra public hives if we cannot make a thread to tell them.

I would support this is everyone could agree to suss out which vehicles could tow and which could not.

Agree with the OP. I have yet to find any vehicles in weeks of play. They should be far more common. The game would be so much more fun if you had a vehicle most of the time.
