Ref: Tents Sad story... =( So it is better to use a car instead of a tent :D Shame there is no camo net for hiding vehicles

haha I'm ill informed? The game is broken. Over the last few months it has gotten WORSE.. not better. Update after update has failed to stem the tide of hackers in this game. There are MORE hackers in the game then a month ago. You, or Rocket can post what ever you want, but the truth is there has yet to be real progress in stablizing the gameplay. NW, Balota, Berinzino, Cherno, Stary all have huge video glitches. No one goes there anymore. Duping and hacking are so common that most people don't even look for downed choppers anymore. Broken tents pump out new gear each server reset, so everyone has endgame hard to get gear. Hacker weapons like thermal AS-50s are more common then low end sniper rifles. People hangout near the coasts because there is no point going inland, unless you are looking for vehicles. and... we might be getting Dogs in a upcomming patch? LOL. What a total waste of resources and time. This is still called a "Alpha" game (One of the longest alphas I have seen)... you would think fixing any of the above game breaking problems would be more important then adding "dogs". I can make my own end-game fun if the above things are fixed. Dogs would be great down the road. I thank you for replying, but I disagree with you. I think I am very well informed.

I would prefer a hotfix too, even if it just fixes the artifacts, tents, and vehicles. :thumbsup: The other stuff I can wait for.

Around Black Lake (133 033) and Willow Lake (132 037) are common areas for people who play legit and loot NEAF and Berezino. So they will have alot of survival items as well as gear, weapons and ammo. Alot of players build up North of Gubya water inlet as well as there are some flat areas up there with no objects which won't delete tents. North of Petrovka around some of the peaks tend to have some serious clan tent cities. The towns nearby aren't really good for that far North. But there are some clearing that can give you quick runs to places like NWAF and Devils Castle. Along the 005 longitude, there are alot of tent cities. But they are well known and its hazardous having them there (from experience). Search the forests that share clearings as clans/players who have vehicles use the clearings for quick runs into NWAF.

I'd like to join I'm 15 ive got a tent on ANZ 1 with loads of goodies got a 2 vehicles 1 tractor and a UAZ i know where the loot spawns in most places (NW,NE airfield stary etc you could ask me more this is just a run through

It's simple... 1. most Players want to behave in game like they can't do in rl. beeing an asshole, mocking others, bully others is a big part of it . the opposide is out there too but not even close to the numbers of "trolls" 2. newbies get trained to be assholes. if you get a bullet in your head 5 times after spawn and you didn't even got a can of beens in your backpack you damn right if you think this fellas will kill everyone on sight. 3. It is part of the game let's be honest at a certain point in the game there isn't mutch left to do after you got equipped, the risk is high that you get killed with better equip because others want it so you shoot everyone you just dont know just to avoid it. as long as the tents and vehicles are not fixed that players can save their stuff they will defend their gear at all cost. i would make the zombies extreme hard to beat so that players HAVE to group up to survive and get good stuff there would be mutch less bandits out there. as ever sorry for bad grammar :P Have fun IG Jade

Yea and hills but The easiest camps to hit up Always when I die I can get fully geared up is at Tulga , Msta , and Three valleys High rate in most servers to have tents or vehicles.

This one is easy Around Way north Devils castle , THe out skirts far near the airfields, And Most of the time North east sides of the map along the forming river side of the map. Normally just wander off out side and look into the map there always vehicles and Tents in stuff Iv fraps most of it.

www.DayZAsylum.com The Asylum is the world's most unique DayZ server, running on incredibly powerful hardware so that lag is always minimal. Custom Anti-Hack Solution The Asylum has a custom-built anti-cheating system which will ban the majority of hackers, making it the most legitimate and clean DayZ experience you can find. Modified Spawners *NEW* We always hated how everyone in DayZ has the best weapons known to mankind in an apocalyptic scenario. We've modified the spawners so that the best of weapons are far more rare. Low grade (enfields, CZ) and mid grade (AKs, etc) are the norm. While all guns except the AS50 (replaced with the G36) are available, some have become quite rare. In addition all ammo has reduced spawns, making your ammo more valuable. Gameplay Enhancements We'll often do minor things to make your game more enjoyable. As an example, you can fuel up your vehicles at gas stations without using jerry cans, or upright ATVs when they flip over. Statistics! Our website, listed above, stores the statistics of every player who comes on the server for both their current life as well as their entire playing history. What's more, is we have working leaderboards showing those with highest humanity, survival time, player kills and more. Database Reverts If we are struck by a hacker, we have the ability to revert the entire server only a few minutes so that nobody loses their equipment after being teleported, etc. We can even do this on an individual level if the hacker attacked only a few people. Custom Bug Fixes Our own team of programmers makes server code changes on a regular basis, correcting many bugs plaguing normal DayZ servers. Bugs such as tents saving, tents duping, vehicles repairing and coming back and even the bag loss on skin change are fixed on The Asylum. Construction DayZ has endgame! Players are able to build structures, utilities and more in the world. Some things you can expect include: buildings, furniture and decorations, flags, structures (ie: vehicle camo netting, etc), utilities (ie: wells, fuel tanks, etc) and more! Certain things, depending on size and usefulness, will require different materials. You will have to collect all of these materials before the item can be constructed. It won't be easy to build things, but it will be rewarding. www.DayZAsylum.com

Reporting hacker on US 1220 Player name: john Time of incident: 12:15-12:20 EST Player teleported to me while in my Gaz, ordered me to step out. I did and shot him about 20 times, he had godmode. Kept taunting me while I jumped back in and drove away but continued to teleport to me and shot me. Sorry there's no screen shots, didn't have time. I have no idea how the server logs people actions but is this something new the hackers are doing? Instead of spawning weapons or vehicles that will leave a log entry, they just teleport to random people from the server until they find one, kill them and take it.

I was walking from the church to the hospital in electro between buildings when i made my way under the garage that connects to the street infront of the hospital. the sound of a m249 singing started up outside the hospital. i backed up in between the buildings and gathered my thoughts as the m249 seemed to be endless with ammo. the m249 paused briefley and i heard the sound of vehicles on the main street pulling up in front the hospital. I peaked around the corner to see 2 black escalades and four ghillies at the hospital. the one behind the main counter began singing with the m249 out the glass and a pile of dead zombies lay out front. i tossed a smoke through the garage area infront the hospital as diversion and made my around the south end of the building. popped a warning shot with the lee enfield at a ghillie and hijacked an escalade. all i heard on direct was you mother F***er and i gunned it onto the main road heading north pressed alt saw the other escalade behind me not giving up. checked the debug saw i had a bandit kill and realized the warning shot had taken out their buddy. i ran the escalade out of gas just past nizhnoye and hoofed it on foot towards the woodline ghilies jumped out of thier vehicle and opened up. i serpetined further into the woods taking a hit dropping me to the ground the men refuel'd the other escalade and took off back towards electro. I bandaged and sat their with a broken leg for a few minutes and figured that was it for me seeing how i never made it into the hospital for med supplies. crawled back down to nizhnoye and let the zombies have their way with me only lost a lee enfield and two pepsi's not to bad.

there once was a server who found out how to make a mod for admins and spawned extra vehicles and was always watching for hackers. It was a really fun server because the admins were fair and never gave anyone shit. unfortunately, that server was shut down probably because the fact that it was modded to make it more survivable. In an actual zombie apocalypse, i highly doubt 99% cars wont work and if they do, everything is broken on them.

Marvel actually had a solid point, once you looked past his nerd-rage. Pay one guy on your staff to spend one day going through the map and remove all the dead bodies and barbed wire that's causing these artifacts. Then release a patch to the public with these changes. Boom, functioning work-around. It might take TWO whole days for a guy to do this task though. I know, it's asking a lot... The patch would probably be a large one because you would have to download a whole new map, but if it fixes the graphic glitches people won't care. Then if you could work on tents/vehicle saves we'd be golden. Sure hackers are a problem, but they've made it clear they aren't going to work on addressing that issue until stand-alone. Tents and vehicles however were working fine a few patches ago.

Interested in this thread. Our camp got discovered in the middle of bloody nowhere, lost our vehicles and he killed us all. :(

I really love this idea. To be able to protect your vehicles from snipers and collisions ect. Maybe make trucks like the Ural drive a tad slower the more metal protection it have, to make it more balanced. That makes you have a choice for what kind of car you want, the more tanky one or the faster one for picking up friends and stuff. Maybe be able to find some kind of camouflage kit for the cars, to make them more invisible in the forests. I would basically just love alot more possibilities with the vehicles (chopper aswell maybe), since they are some of the only things I go out and look for when maxed out in gear (gps, rangefinder, weapons and so on) So you sir, can definitely have my beans! (Does that sound wierd? :D) P.S. Sorry for any bad grammar, english isn't my native language :-)

Does anybody have any tips as to where large player camps are usually located? The kind with vehicles and lots of tents and stuff. (I'm not going for hacked/duped things, I just want a GPS and maybe even a car) You don't have to tell me where YOUR camp is, but where they commonly are is appreciated. I have been running around the western and northernmost part of the map for several hours now, trying to find player camps. My luck is awful, and I, of course, can't find any. I've heard rumors that there are usually some around the open area north of Devil's Castle; can anybody confirm? (Looked around in the search for a bit, trying to find a thread similar to this. Didn't.)

I'd say just watch for obvious things if you can - like a player that logs in and goes directly to a vehicle. For example, we've had several instances of people who leave a bicycle and take one of our vehicles - which more than likely means they spawned on the coast, went directly to the nearest bicycle and then used it to go directly to our vehicle to take it.

Age: 24 Country: USA Name: Sal TaCtiCs I've been playing dayz since May. My favorite guns are the DMR (night vision on a sniper rules), SD CCO, and the L85 (Thermal ftw). My favorite style of play is group oriented; currently I play with a friend in a group of 2 and we often seek to gear up as much as possible, pursue vehicles and most of all we enjoy to PvP. Ideally we like to engage other groups, it's much more competitive. We currently actively use skype when we play.

Dayz Name: Pacifism or Changed for recon and other usage. How long have you played Dayz: A good long while.

Im not afraid to clear a building. Team Experience: I am a current member of the -*DZM*- (DayZ Mercenaries) my leader asked us to attempt combining with you due to time issues in real life. We have raided camps. Stolen vehicles and stashes. Did some heli flight. Made another bandit group complain of us on their video logs. How familiar with the map are you?: Its literally printed on my wall. Do you know how to use grid coords/ Compass bearings?: Yes and topographic maps in real life.

and tents AND VEHICLES. fuck dogs, I want my vehicles to fucking work and my tents to fucking save

Depends on which server I'm on if I see it or not 90% of the time I don't see it at all. It might be only private hives I see smoke on but I can't be 100% certain. Sometimes at night I've seen crash sites light up a whole area like the Northern Lights, other times I can almost walk into one at night and see nothing. Does anyone get the same with burning sounds at crash sites? Sometimes there, and soemtimes not? Sorry Geordie, I spotted a wreck site immediately on a live server restart today (actually crapped myself when it spawned 500m away from me since it wasn't there 5 minutes before reset :) ) and sadly it had no smoke at all for me. I believe when you are driving vehicles you see a lot of smoke from all of them (none of the passengers could see the smoke though) I'd love to know what causes this as well, our graphics settings, a server setting?

There's a issue with 1.7.2.5 not saving vehicles properly. That's why.

Good to see a suggestion that is well detailed and explained. However I don’t agree with the concept at all. In essence you are suggesting that the consequence of losing Humanity is degrading into zombiism (is that a word?) and I dont like that as a concept. I don’t like the idea that everyone is already infected and that the "virus" is exacerbated by aggression / violence. Personally I think that zombie bites should be infectious, (and curable) as this would add a brilliant mechanic to the game, especially when playing in a team. However I dont agree with the system you have suggested. I just cant bring myself to like the idea of a virus that’s triggered by being shit. I don’t love that people that are brutal killers in this game, but no-one can deny they are a large part of what makes the game tense. The only reason bandits are currently out of control is the insane proliferation of what are supposed to be ultra rare weapons has meant everyone on a server is armed to the teeth. Once you have all the weapons you want, you think “now what?” . Clearly the “now what” for a lot of people seems to be “sit on a hill and shoot at noobs” (for me the answer ot the “now what?” question is trying to fix vehicles). I think once hacking is under control you will get less bored kids just killing people for fun as they will be too busy surviving and scrounging. A lot of people have suggested what rewards / penalties could be instituted for various humanity scores, but I think any system that links to humanity needs to be very subtle and realistic. I dont think something overt like becoming a zed, or gaining some kind of clear advantage is a good idea.
