I can't vote yet either as a Server Admin paying to host a Server for the game when there's issues regarding vehicles and art factual glitches. Not to mention the hacking problem. I find difficult to maintain a server due to the lack of players on the servers at the moment. Used to regular news and update on possible fixes, I was on the forums on a daily basis helping ppl and checking to see what is being done to resolve the few things that still stands between this being a Great Mod / GAME... But sadly nothing about any pending updates or fixes. Just this award at least there was a chance to express some concern And Job well done thus far.

Ok, I dont have the logs as im not home atm, but ive been getting something to this effect in my logs. beeeh = this mysheep = this I have a few entries a long those lines, using nothing but those 2 exact codes, they show up in my createvehicle.log. Any idea what these are? I feel like they might be stealth code executions. EDIT: OK, so here are some examples. There has to be something going on here, as it happening very frequently, and im noticing more and more heli crashes before restarts. Must be a new method of spawning vehicles. 05.09.2012 21:27:50: player (ip) guid - #0 "_spawnAIS = this;" 05.09.2012 21:28:00: player (ip) guid - #0 "_spawnAIS = this;" 05.09.2012 21:28:03: player (ip) guid - #0 "_spawnAIS = this;" 05.09.2012 21:28:06: player (ip) guid - #0 "_spawnAIS = this;" 05.09.2012 21:28:07: player (ip) guid - #0 "_spawnAIS = this;" 05.09.2012 21:28:10: player (ip) guid - #0 "_spawnAIS = this;" 05.09.2012 21:28:35: player (ip) guid - #0 "beeeh = this" 05.09.2012 21:53:15: player (ip) guid - #0 "[this] spawn BIS_Effects_AirDestruction" 05.09.2012 21:53:20: player (ip) guid - #0 "[this, 8.34463, 21965.1]spawn BIS_Effects_AirDestructionStage2" 05.09.2012 21:53:24: player (ip) guid - #0 "[this, 8.34463, 21965.1,false,true]spawn BIS_Effects_Burn" Considering that [this] is called for in the crash, I believe that the above * = this is referring to spawning a heli by some means. Thoughts?

In my opinion they don't want to fix it. They want people to play the standalone not the mod. Broken mod or standalone game? Whats your choice? Mine? Running a server I can switch from Chernarus to Lingor, and now to Utes whenever I feel like it. No one loses data on any of the maps when another is loaded. And there are the beginnings of Takistan maps popping up. If I see someone hacking, I can ban them 100% Permanent, No arguement. Someone being racist or otherwise derogatory, banned no questions asked. Thats they way this should have been working. Tents and vehicles work in 1.7.2.5 on the Private Hives, apparently not a difficult fix. The fact that my Official Hive servers see little to no action at all anymore tells me this mod is dying, fast. The private hives? Packed, I am thinking of upgrading our slot count I had to kick a suspected hacker to make room for myself the other day.

I have been following the game and forums for a while now, and have noticed something... People say that they want some form of endgame, some say they don't. Without an end, technically there is no point to this game. Hear me out before the trolling starts though... By raiding an town, you can grab some matches, a hunting knife, a larger backpack and a hatchet, a finally a water bottle and a few cans of food. Now the point of the game is survival right? So, what happens next? You go into the woods. You find a pond. You fill up your water bottle. You find an animal. You hatchet it to death, you cut up its corpse, go back to your pond in the woodline. You start a fire, you eat, you drink, and thats it. Endgame. You dont need the loot, and you dont need much more than that. Seems like a bit of a pointless game now eh? So there is something that i think would be a grand idea to add a bit of diversity to the game. A way to implement the communities, the camps, coalitions into the game. A way to make survival a bit more interesting. Force people to have to hit the towns. Remove the hunting knives, but keep the mechanics behind cooking. Say for example that you can have a hot meal and it replends 800 blood, but that to get your food you have to get it from somewhere dangerous. You add another level of survival to the game. You can hit a barn and find cans of food yes, but then people still have the option to stay away from large towns. If you really want to get something worthwhile though, you have to go into the town. This means that survival groups who set up shop in towns and can start coalitions or camps can do markets, have people doing guard shifts etc, but at the same time it means that the bandits need to raid towns. It adds a whole new dimension of PvP to the game. Now, obviously certain parts such as zombie spawns etc will have to be tweeked to enable this, and there are many people who might not agree with this, but i really do think this could add a new dimension to the game. I know a lot of people have started to get fed up with this mod, and are waiting for the stand alone. At the minute im enjoying trying to help out people and killing bandits on sight, Thing is, once youve had all the guns, and can live in the wild, there isnt much to the game. Saying that, i still come back to it day after day because i like trying to find the stuff ive not had yet (which is still a hell of a lot of stuff!) Ive lived in the wild, had tents, had vehicles, but still not had half the weapons in the game, never killed more than 50 Z's in a single life, and love cutting about the large towns avoiding bad guys and snipers while trying to find beans and coke. Would be interested in hearing peoples view on this. I know its hard to implement, but what other ideas would people want in the standalone?

Happened to my friend too in LU351, while he was driving a heli. We were all teleported at the same time, Ive made a thread about it with videoproof. At minute 1.17 you can clearly see if you pause our heli, 2 boats in land, a red car a ural and more vehicles. http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/86496-hacked-in-lu351-and-a-doubt-about-battleeye/ That is the thread. Video included.

With the switch over fully complete I believe we are good to go now. Tents work, vehicles work, all save correctly now, and we are running 1.7.2.5. We will be having Lingor Island weekends pretty soon. If anyone has trouble connecting hit me or bob up and we will be glad to help get you connected.

Two choppers... flying around? After looking at the map, where I heard one must have been around the NE airport area. I did see the bus in Electro, but other than the jeep Speck and I found in Cherno, I didn't see any other vehicles spawned in along the coast from Balota to Berezino. I did find a bike at the lighthouse south of the steep mountain (Pik?), so it's making traveling easier. Congrats on the gps. Where'd you luck in to that at? Only thing I found good was a g17 and mil flashlight at the tower in Balota (though I have found the cco there in the past). Other than that I'm just running with a common akm.

still perfecting it but looks pretty nice. better than no power right? also have over 50 vehicles spawned on the maps and tents and vehicles save. vehicle damage works properly as well.

Your server is the only one i play on now, rare to find a 1.2.7.5 server that is connected to the hive with vehicles and tents saving. Haven't seen as many UX members on the past few days though

Myself and a buddy with an L85 would come and take your out marksmen while they are sitting in there deerstands... You cant lock down an area in this game.. One Script kiddie catches wind of your fortress and thunderdomes you all..... Guess you lost your fortress. Unfortunately you cant claim areas for yourself and expect people to abide by your rules. One "friendly" comes into your camp and starts satchel charging your vehicles/sniping "civilians. bad idea that could never be anything more then an fantasy

Your player base grew exponentially for months on end until 1.7.2.5 and for the last month it's been stuck on ~110,000 players in the last 24 hours.{edit: now down to 90,000.} I hope this fact isn't lost on you. As soon as you decided being at PAX was more important than fixing what was broken, the growth of players ground to a halt. The growth of the game died. People lost interest. I've still got the Day Z mod installed, I hope one day you decide it's time to start working on the vehicle, tent and graphical bugs. But if you don't, I don't care. I already owned ArmA II, I didn't buy it to play this mod. And for the last month, I haven't bothered to play it. What the point? You can only keep gear on you, and that, you only keep until some script kid decides to nuke the server. But that's not the point, really, is it? It's an alpha. I'm here to test shit. Unfortunately, there's been nothing new to test for a month, so I've been putting my time into the other games in dev I'm alpha and beta testing. But I think it's great you've got 100,000 people coming back to play, every day, from exactly the same point they were at a month ago. I think it's great the only people who can be arsed with this mod are people who can reset a server when they log in and by doing so get their vehicles and tents back (as long as they haven't saved them since the 1.7.2.4 patch). That's a really cool way to run a survival sim, Lets just survive the same fucking day with the same fucking shit, over and over and over again. Day Z? Groundhogday Z more like it. Here's hoping being interviewed gets just as boring for you as playing the same busted ass patch for the last month got for me. Maybe then we'll see some progress. Until then, enjoy your time in the spotlight as a clown in the gaming media circus. See you if/when the next patch drops. edit 2: 1.7.2.6 is here. patching. mutter mutter grumble something something fries with those words I'm eating

Just kidding, well sort of. I get much of the frustration in the community because I have experienced 99% of the same problems that you have in my four months playing this game. I have sworn to never play again after a hacker death, I have lost a 28 day old character to a rock, have died to snipers, been killed by people I have helped, died to bugs, had gear disappear, lost countless tents, lost countless vehicles, suffered friendly fire, and even crashed on the airfield due to a graphics glitch (more accurately a buddy crashed into my car and both exploded killing four of us). I get the frustration, but some of it is misplaced (Arma 2 update is responsible for graphics bug and being tied to Arma 2 also makes it hard to combat hackers) or fails to see what this game can become if standalone is properly rolled out (think much less hacking and ability to address glitches/bugs in quick fashion). Some of this is lack of communication, but this has been addressed by Rocket himself. http://dayzmod.com/f...-radio-silence/ He explains why he has been absent and why it is sometimes hard to provide updates (gets hate for saying working on it without a concrete answer so why say anything). The next patch will be done when the issues that can be fixed are fixed. This is a small development team, so lets all calm down and allow the process to play out bitching is not going to make anything better. Now I am not somebody just being a fanboy, but in some respects I can own that label since I love the concept of this game and that earns respect toward the person who came up with this concept through a mod. I have felt like the open alpha is a double edged sword because it allowed his concept to gain steam but now you have people who expect the game to work in alpha stage or are too impatient to wait a couple of months for a more polished release. If the alpha was closed you would not see this level of whining, but at this point it would be unfair to close the alpha for the mod, so we are stuck with this situation. I actually do not mind if people leave the game and wait for what will hopefully come. If the next patch drops and you continue to see bugs and glitches that would make your experience a bad one wait until those issues are fixed. When the standalone releases read up on the product and buy it if it meets your expectations, if not wait or save your money for something else. We do not all have to like what is currently there, but this culture of entitlement is beyond annoying. Since this is the interweb I expect nice civil responses leading to a rational discourse on the future of this game (nah just do what I do and be a dick). TL;DR, show some patience and quit your bitching.

Competent (US) adult player seeking group/clan. Typical play times are around 11:30pm EST and Sat/Sun mornings around 7a EST. Prefer to hunt bandits. I have a mic (prefer Vent) and over 18. Gearing up to die gets a little old alone. Looking for others to repair vehicles or hunt together. Thanks for reading and drop me a line if any openings during those play times!

Me and one other play pretty regularly. We're looking to get a group of around 5 guys together and rebuild some vehicles, set up a camp and what not. We're from Canada. I work weird hours so I'm on at almost everyone time of the day depending on my days off. Hit me up on Skype @ zomb1an an maybe we'll meet up

I'd like to be able to salvage parts from derelict vehicles. It's a little absurd already that the same tire works on a bicycle, a bus and a Ural, same with engine parts and fuel tank parts. Why not go the extra mile and let me pull parts from one and stick them on another? To avoid using it to repair stuff for free (Orange engine? Pull it off and reinstall and you're good to go!) the parts themselves could have HP, like magazines or stacks of chemlights can be depleted, so you go up to a tractor with a yellow engine, pick "Salvage engine parts" and get a half-stack of engine parts, leaving the tractor with a red engine. Then you go use that on your UAZ with the orange engine and it goes up to green. Same with siphoning fuel and partially filled jerry cans. It's more data for the server and hive to track, but if they can keep tabs on all my 1911 magazines, this shouldn't be too tough.

ArmA2 has a robust base-building system in it. Industrial or military sites could spawn construction materials, tarps, camo netting, lumber and other handy stuff, and then it could be assembled by players using the construction controls into makeshift forts and zombie-resistant barricades. Zombies or players could destroy them (Good use for ax/crowbar/toolkit) but they'd make for an interesting new cooperative project when gathering gear and fixing cars isn't enough. I'm obviously a huge fan of augmenting vehicles, as well. Scrap metal for makeshift side skirts to protect your bus wheels, a brush bar to reduce engine damage in the event of a minor collision or gunfire, armor on windows, that sort of thing. A Ural with enough metal on it would be like an APC, you'd be smashing fences and deflecting sniper shots left and right.

Thought you might post here. Your friend has also requested a refund, with which we will shortly be processing a refund. We have included the email below. It is unfortunate that you believe that the server would stoop down to the level of killing for kicks or for owning certain vehicles, but as anyone currently playing on the server, subscribed on YouTube, or watching me on Twitch TV, I have little to no care about gear or vehicles in DayZ and they will attest to my character. I play for the fun of it, and play as any other normal character would.

Sorry for the double post but i updated the OP with some more information about the loot timer and players spawning loot while they are in vehicles. I hope i could already help some people with these informations. Feel free to ask if something is bothering you.

Yeahhhh baby, sick that tents and vehicles are working now. Didnt want to have to roll back to 1.2.7.4

Looking for more people to play with. We generally KOS now and consider ourselves bandits. We dont care if we die and we dont play like we are in the army IRL. Just getting sick of just us 2 roaming around killing and trying to find/repair vehicles ourselves. My dream for Stand alone is to create a clan much like the GOONSWARM on Eve online. Shear numbers to overwhelm any enemy! We have our own server and mumble server. You have to be : 18+, Know how to have a laugh and not care if you die! I would said dont be a backstabber but bandits will be bandits. Leave a reply or PM if interested!

I never bothered to read other peoples comments and stuff, but i've stopped playing dayz because well, my friends had stopped playing it because mostly the game gets boring. Finding good gear isn't even a challenge anymore to me, just hit up the north end of the map looking for tents, or west side of the map. You'll find plenty of tents. Also another reason why I have stopped playing is because of the graphical glitches. It makes it impossible to raid towns/airfields. On another note, Vehicles are easy to find, I find them all the time honestly I've found like 5 in about 2 hour play sesh. Everyone seems to leave this game because of the hackers, for me I find them fun because I DONT mind having to respawn and go loot cherno or elektro with my friends. To me, thats more fun then having good gear. If your going to reply to this saying the game is only as fun as you make it, dont bother because I have. On a side note, I will continue to play dayz when the standalone version comes out because i think that version of the game will become an actual challenge, right now it isn't. So this ends my little rant, Bye.

Thanks to FML Doc I got an idea - I want to ask everyone what was your best escape death story you have encountered in DayZ? Mine = at NW Airfield fresh server only 2 people on it at 4am EST, it was dark and I had no NV's that is why I was there (NV's) -I adjusted my video settings to get a little day light which wasn't much and made the screen look terrible, I had crawled for 1/2 hr across the strip to get to the Hangers and I heard like a crackling noise and Zed grunts close by (It was a crashed Heli on the West Side Of The Air Strip - My first ever) I had rolled to my right about 4 times to see a bright light which ended up to be the gun stuck in a silent fire position with flames out the nozzle, I know what it was now after a item display showed at the aim of my gun and wala a Gille (again my first ever) and a Bison (junk - But I did not know at the time) i crawled to the closest hanger with my hands all sweaty and shaking from excitement to here shots, the sun is coming up and I have no idea where it is coming from, but it is close, I love to roll so I slid sideways and rolled in the hanger which I can see now and happened to stop and notice a Coyote Backpack - (Never had one) I was now so shaky I could not control the mouse, I crawled over to it and without dropping mine I had grabbed it and noticed mine had disappeared which had my ammo and meds, then a shitty red car and pickup pull up in the front and I had my handy 45 ready and started to shot at them but I was still so shaky I was hitting everything but them or their vehicles, they shot me, I am bleeding I get up and run to the back zig zagging and switching to my Kobra and did a leap to crawl position in the back corner and disappeared through the back of the hanger, I had enough time to heal eat meats and run like a bat otta hell attracting every Zombie possible, I had stood in a pine tree while the zombies tried to hit me and for some reason couldn't, I could hear the vehicles as the Zombies left and they had to go the long way because the wall and fence and I stood there for like an hr scared as hell. all quiet and I aborted - BUT - I Died once I spawned the next day and put the Gille on, it transferred me to the beach in Electro and with in seconds I was shot - But I can say I had a Gille, Heli and a Coyote Backpack for a Day:)

Lol, you were stupid and bad. Dayz isn't your cup of tea, CoD/BF is more like it, and you marked our tents on the map by "accident" Cause us to lose plenty of vehicles/Tents. - CSA Decise
