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

If you are searching for an fast, low pinged and fast loading Server try this one! This server saves everything (tents/vehicles)! Beta is held up to date! Have fun! DE 2501 [GMT+1]

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.

I think that a good addition to the game would be car keys. At the moment there is no safety mechanism for cars, other then a good hiding place. It would bring in a sense of security for your vehicles and it would make it more of a challenge for people to steal your car and the gear within. They would be needed to unlock cars and drive/ possibly to access the gear stored within. Car Keys would be found in the gear of the car at it's spawn point, the car would be unlocked so that the keys good be looted A tool could also be added that would allow players to break-into and hot wire cars that they have found, it would make it more interesting when finding another players vehicle as you would either have to look for the player and take the keys, or find the hot-wiring tool and use it on the car. As well as a tool that actually allows the car of the engine to be started, you made need to break in to the car, by either breaking a window, or breaking a door. Both these actions would damage the vehicle parts retrospectively:The windows and the hull Players could also leave the keys in the car, and leave it unlocked so that, say, their friends could also use the car whilst they are not playing/there. Overall it would add a sense of security when leaving vehicles as there is no such protection at the moment.

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.

Ive read the same thing somewhere but i know it to be un-true. We have left vehicles untouched for weeks and weeks and they stay exactly where they are.

Now, when I first started playing DayZ, It was just QQ about bandits, campers, and glitches. Now it's QQ about glitches, Hackers, weak admin, and the general sense of little progress in BE. Has anyone noticed the amount of spam in the forums? where are the mods? people linking porn, food, shopping and fake id's and passports? Really? Hacking went from hacked weapons to carpet bombs to hacked in vehicles to weapon crates to god mode/teleporting/thunder dome. Its just progressively getting more sophisticated, more apparent, yet unpunished. why is DayZ getting hit so hard? In game, and the forums? Now, i know it's hard to get proof for bans when they are so sophisticated that the are not showing up as events in the servers logs, but shouldn't you be able to tell someone is hacking in the logs if the event shows the player in different areas at getting there in improbable times? Every one dies in a server except a couple of choice people, it'd be obvious who initiated the .exe, right? To admins, I know you're swamped with this stuff all the time, but instead of "hey, do this admin!" , what can we do for you? How can us fellow bandits and survivors help you to save the game? Aside from "not hacking" and "use the search function" is there anything at all? I was in elektro, counter-sniping people on sniper hill, when a new spawn bandit appears out of nowhere and says "friendly, new spawn" just keeps talking to me while im scouring the hill. I see 2 people coming down, so I start firing at the two while the new "spawn" says "i'll get them. Instantly sprouts an as50, caps both of the guys. Zeds, storm us, i switch to my pistol, he goes "don't worry", and as each zombie clawed at him, they fell over dead. i'm like sheeeeeeeeeet, this guy is going to kill me now. All of a sudden, shots start hitting around us from the fire station, we start shooting. I'm hitting this guy, the hacker is hitting this guy, and then, the fire station enemy teleports right in front of us. Hacker guy laughs, message says "lol, hack too?" They procede to ask each other if they have team speak, and i stand up and take off on the other side of the hill and log out. Now there is going to be 2 bandits in god mode, weapon spawn and teleporting. Is none of that noticed or tracked in the logs? TL:DR. Grown up QQ about how shitty everything is being regulated.

How do you know where all the vehicles are?

So it seems like a hacker teleported all the vehicles in a middle of ocean. Is there a way to fix this or does the server need a fresh restart?

Hmm I would rather it this way - tents saving properly is more important to me than people having vehicles. I found a base on our server with thermal AS50's which I happily destroyed and am killing some of these crazy overpowered tents with NV style gear in them I find around elektro and cherno. Players who play with us on TS are playing more cautiously because they know the gear on them can go at any point... much more fun. Our server seems more popular than ever, and we have no choice as we go through multiplay anyway :¬D

We have just had a hacker on our server ... he has just taken all our Vehicles while we were on them or standing around them ... they just all went right in front of our eyes ??? wtf do we do now any ideas how do we find them all again Cheers Painkiller

Roll back to version 1.7.2.5 that is the only fix atm , if you want to keep all your Vehicles so you dont lose them for a week .... I Know you wont be able to save anything in your tents or Vehicles but I'd rather that then losing them.. If a hacker comes on and Teliports all the stuff you just do a restart and they will all be at the last save before you rolled back the server, on each restart ... Like "GROUND HOG DAY" cheers PainKiller

This is going to be set back until the Standalone goes Live to hopefully avoid the ScriptKiddies I had the idea of trying to set up a trading outpost on a server in dayz, to make this work i would need three sets of people, people who go out and loot items that people will require, i will need the traders and lastly i will need the security. I'm not entirely sure how many people i would need for this but if anyone is interested post a comment please. I am thinking about setting up the trading outpost in the fields at stary sobor. i am planning to do this because of the high amount of empty fields that the downed choppers can spawn at and the close proximity of the NW airfield and the stary military tents which would give us a large income of supplies for the trading, the whole thing would be secured from the zombies by the use of sandbag walls or other fortifying materials as zombies cannot climb over sandbags and we would also have the security stationed around the trading outpost to make sure no one causes trouble. the only way i can get this to happen is with the support of the community so thanks for even reading this also sorry if this is being posted in the wrong place i dont use forums a lot. thanks We now have a place for the trading outpost to be placed and we have decided how it is going to be set out. all we need now is more people and more people that are willing to go around to find sandbags, wire fences and stuff like that including tents cheers EDIT we now have some vehicles and we have started collecting barbed wire kits and sandbags so once i get to where im going im gonna start building the trading outpost. we will still need more people to help and we will also need more sandbags and wire fencing kits once again thanks for all the help EDIT we have now started building the trading outpost now called Chern R us trading from a contribuition from TheSO, but we have run out of materials at the min so as soon as we get those and finish building we can start trading. EDIT we have run into a slight problem that has caused the plans to stall until it is fixed. our vehicles despawned so once we have got new ones and got everything we need then we will be ready but it might be a little while because of the random chances of finding vehicles

I'm not sure what happened, but I can say from experience that with the newest build the vehicles seem to be working correctly on my server, except for keeping fuel. But they are saving.

We are not at war...we don't need MG nests...tanks, armed vehicles, attack helos and planes for CAS, actually we don't even need 90% the weapons that are in the game... If you want all this play vanilla ArmA 2.

Is it true?! Do tents and vehicles save now? Does that include when you repair them?! This makes the game worth playing again! Too bad I just got sniped at the airfield and lost my m16 w/ m203, GPS, and Camo clothing. :(

Id like to know this also as i feel all my vehicles on my server are gone as one minute they are there next they arent?

A while back on this server I found a camp. Ural, V3S, Uaz, just about every descent vehicle in the game. I searched them, and wow was I supprised. each truck filled with every single gun in the game, and a lot of scripted in guns. The one truck had some satchel charges inside. I lined up all the vehicles and blew them all to hell. I'm sure it made that little hacker mad, but he'll probably just do it all again. Server was US 100 new jersey. I believe it has been taken down now.

New server? VEHICLES!?!?!?
