Everyone that has had issues with tents/vehicles disappearing. Go back into TC Admin and install the newest update. Then uninstall the mod and reinstall. They have now fixed all the issues with the newest release. Everything should be working as normal.

I'm not getting the logic behind people's reasons for not wanting a heatmap. (If you're not interested in the heatmap at all, feel free to ignore this post.) -"It'd give people unfair advantages! They will see where people go and kill them!" No, it won't. For the heatmap to be effectively used to kill someone, it would have to show: 1. If they are still there. You can't kill someone who died there, or who isn't logged in. 2. It would have to tell you when they went there. How do you tell the difference in a heat signature if 20 players passed through an area a month ago, and if 10 passed through a month ago and 10 are going there now? or 20 different players all at different times, which is what's going to happen? There isn't. 3. It would have to show you what server. Okay, by some miracle you might go to a quiet area that someone might be in. Are you really going to log into every server finding someone when you could just go to a place where you already know people are? No, that would be stupid and impractical. 4. There would still need to be a moderate amount of activity there anyway. For it to even register on a heatmap of give-or-take a million players, People will need to at least moderately pass through that area anyway, which hardly increases the amount of people picking that area to PvP because of the minimap. 5. It'd have to show what goes through there. The heatmap is only showing player locations. So nobody is going to single out an area because people happen to hide their vehicles there. Given even only these five points, You can conclude that the odds of finding someone through a heatmap are smaller than the odds of hitting someone across the NW airfield. With a Makarov. And a broken leg. -"But people will go to the quiet spots, and I'm camping in one!" Once again, How many servers are there? What are the odds that someone is going to pick the exact same spot as you out of the hundreds of potential spots, and also be in the same server? Also take away the number of people who aren't immediately hostile because believe it or not they do exist, and you can easily assume that your hiding spot is not going to be any more obvious than it was before. -"But it would ruin the fun of the game/the immersion/atmosphere for me!" Then don't look at the heatmap. If you don't want to know where people go out of interest, then don't know. But who are you to decide if everyone else wants to know? Most people wouldn't even factor in the knowledge provided by the heatmap when playing. I'm not going to remember that roughly 3% of players have passed along that small dirt path between Pustoshka and Rogovo recently. People already know not to go to the Airfield, Cherno/Elektro if they plan on avoiding players, and a heatmap wouldn't emphasise that at all. -"But a hacker will use it to find people!" Hackers can teleport themselves to you, and you to them. Why would they need a heatmap? All in all, there are far more reasons FOR a Heatmap than against, purely because there are already much easier ways of finding people already, and you are not forced to look at it if you don't want to. As far as you're concerned, the heatmap doesn't even exist as it has zero impact on gameplay.

Play quite a bit, least play a fuck load more then you. Vanilla warcrafts is the only engine i can think of thats worse, so 2003. Maybe you have a few console titles that are worse, but as far as PC gaming goes, this is garbage. Kinda got me thinking, you also got the lean mechanic and realistic vehicles. Even read somewhere you can top down a chopper in this. So its kinda bumped up from -googleplex/100 to like 3.4. Still bad, but now it can be worst engine since 2005.

Hey man welcome to the party. Me and another guy play pretty regular. Im 28 and only been playing dayz for about 3 weeks . Im tryibg to get a group together to rebuild some vehicles. You're welcome to add me on Skype @ zomb1an. I'm on nights all weekend so I'll only be on durring the day, but after that itll be pretty often. Hit me up whenever you want and maybe we can hook up in game.

Yea you are butthurt but there is a solution that you even mentioned, private server. Stop complaining and make the move, it sounds like you want all the power (especially that ridiculous part about taking all the vehicles, pretty much makes you the dick) and in a private server you will have far more power to do what you please. If you want an extremely low population then even add a password, but if you want actual players you might want to consider leaving it open for the public (unless you are able to drum up demand in another manner). Beyond that you do have a point (I know I was being a dick, but you sound like a dick so I matched the tone), you pay for the server so you should have slightly more control (not the vehicles) over access. I really do not see the benefit to having a public server at this point unless you truly believe in the alpha testing process, but there will always be those that stay public to provide data to the developers so you should be able to enjoy your purchase. PS. stop calling regular players leaches just because we do not want to pay $50 to $100 monthly to rent a server (you probably do not own it and are using a third party to set it up).

have you ever made it to end game?have you made it past zelenogorsk ever? have you ever had a gun better than DMR? once you hit "end game" you realize there is nothing to do other than kill people. vehicles? http://dayzmod.com/f...dayz-character/ someone who knows how to play theyre as common as alice packs zombie killing? zombies are pathetic as hell and are no fun what so ever to deal with so what do you recommend for someone to do when you dont suck at DayZ?

So there is no point in these text files at all? I'm sure having a list of prebanned guid's and scripts that kick people for using them is still better then absolutely nothing? I get exactly what you mean. Again I want to emphasize I already know it's impossible to stop. I know this. What i'm asking is what are things or procedures people do to catch a hacker before too much damage is done (killing all players etc) and what has anybody found a little bit more effective. I understand theres new scripts and bypasses everyday pretty much but I'm also sure some servers get hit harder than others and there has to be a reason for that. I do however agree with you 99%...it's lame we pay for a server that we have barely any control over. At least in early patch you could stop and start server and vehicles did reset. Oh well.

I want this game to go Rogue-like. I actually thought that's what they were going for when I saw the survival timer on the main page. There should be so many hilarious things that can go wrong and mess up your character and possibly end your life in this game. Then the game will be more about survival than anything. Super rare loot, some sort of stamina/tiredness involved, getting sick and injured in many kinds of ways, etc. That timer on the front page would have real meaning. Clearly, survival is not what this game has in mind. Heck, Minecraft is more of a survival game than DayZ. DayZ is just the saddest and slowest deathmatch game of all time. It kinda feels like the only thing that's keeping this game going, is the thought of ruining somebody else's game because people know how long it can take to get anywhere for a legit player; TrollZ. It's not even a decent deathmatch game. Most of the time it's just some guy killing some other guy who is either unaware of him or trying to get away from him. Whatever they wind up doing with the game, I'd like them to take a couple of points very seriously: There aren't enough interesting places, and getting to the interesting places we have now takes too damn long. For the love of whatever, add more vehicles. I've reached a point in this game where running all the time feels like a bullshit waste of my time. When I get hold of a vehicle, it's like a different, funner version of DayZ. When I lose my vehicle? I get bored of the game again. A mere bicycle would be enough for me to enjoy the game again. FAILING THAT; more points of interest. As it is, I'm either in one of the handful of interesting places, or just running to one of them for 20+ minutes. My game has boiled down to: Airfields, Stary, Cherno, Elektro, Berez, and a couple of Factories The rest of the map may as well be a desert. If I'm on foot, I might check a couple of vehicle spawns on the way to a decent place, but it's usually a waste of time. PS. It's funny how HUGE the map is, and yet, even with just 5-20 players, it feels so small because we all go to the same places.Heck I can bump into a stranger even if it's just the two of us playing. I wouldn't mind seeing the NorthWest Airfield nuked into mediocrity. PSS. Honestly sometimes forget this is a zombie game. They may as well be invisible. I got quite the reminder that it's a zombie game when I accidentally lost a car wheel in the middle of a town. The zombie spawns were going crazy!

As it is right now, it has a few uses: - Fortifying camps - Ambushing vehicles - Dickheads using it to grief Unfortunately for the first two, the last one is a big problem. Remove it.

The admin on this server is restarting the server when their clan members are getting killed. Just last night when 2 of the KIA members got killed the server instantly went into restart mode, here is the stats on the server restart= DayZ 7 Chernarus 2012-07-29 22:19 2012-07-29 22:19 DayZ 19 Chernarus 2012-07-29 19:31 2012-07-29 22:18 The admin is also restarting the server whenever one of their vehicles is either flipping over or starting to get damaged, so it flips back or repairs itself. The whole KIA clan is also duping items like ghillie suits, nvgs, rangefinders, ammo, dmrs, etc etc, you name it, they have duped it. These restarts happen alot on this server, atleast 5 times per day. When the admin restarts the server, alot of the collected gear and items im finding and putting in the tent vanishes due to these restarts. Is there anything that can be done against them? like a global ban or?

One little caveat because I am a huge believer in allowing all legitimate play , if you hoard the vehicles off the map then you are 100% cheating. It makes you a dick to do this in the first place, but being a dick is a huge part of this game so this is no different. But storing things in the debug plains or forest is straight up cheating and if there was a way to catch these idiots they should be banned from that server. I am hoping that a fix comes out eventually to stop people from logging out in these areas or saving a single shred of gear or vehicles. Otherwise, carry on I will eventually find your legitimate camp site so hoard away.

This makes no sense whatsoever. Either you honestly don't understand why people are doing it, or you're hating on them simply because they're doing better than you. There is no limit to the number of "Vehicles That I've Ensured You Can't Use" that I can use. People aren't being dicks simply for not cooperating with you. There is no requirement or expectation for others to do things to make life easier for you. Destroying or denying resources that we can't use ourselves hurts everyone who isn't us, and therefore leaves us better off in comparison.

What many are trying to say, in so many words, is that the experience is amazing at first. But when you begin to really start grouping up with people and setting goals and running missions hackers will really fuck up your day. Its not about getting attached to items or vehicles, its more like the feeling of having more fun than you have ever had in a video game and your asshat brother/sister purposely pulls out the power cord to your Nintendo. Thats what hackers are like in this game and why they ruin everything you are currently experiencing for the first time and once you begin to delve deeper into this game and experience the great things that only come when you have spent enough time off the beach, you will feel the same as us.

absolutely nothing you can do. You pay for a server that you have no control over. I pay for one as well. To this mod/community you and I are nothing more then a life form that gets sucked dry by all the leaches that want to piggy back off of others. Without people like you and I this game wouldnt exist. Care to challenge this? try playing this game without being able to piggy back off of the people who work jobs to pay for your entertainment. We launched our server 2nd server yesterday after the patch came out. Hoarded a few vehicles and hid them so the mooches cant get to them. Wake up in the morning to find that some Leach script kiddie has come into our server and teleported all vehicles off the map. These rules are put in place to prevent the server admins from abusing there powers, but in reality these rules cause the admins to pay with there time and money so that the leaches can ruin the fun of others. admins should be able to do what they want with the server they pay for. I want to password it so that I can only invite a select few Legit players. To bad this game caters to script kiddies and the undeserving and fucks the people who keep this game going. Edit** also since the script kiddie has teleported all vehicles off the map you as a Server admin/owner are not allowed to reset your server back to a clean start. Once again the people who pay for your entertainment get shit on by the rules put in place to protect the leaches. Best bet is making your server a private hive and Passwording it so the leaches cant enjoy your entertainment. Butt hurt? Yes.

one of our guys mentioned this tonight. Since now playing the game is pointless. Hackers teleport to all the tents on server and killem. I hated the fact that they dupe on every reset but it evened the score as far as hackers go. Now all our groups gear will be there for a day or 2 which is on average how long it takes for a hacker to teleport to all the tents in the server and drop satchels on them. Vehicles get teleported daily so thats wholly unreliable. I think its a good idea if we get enough people on side to fill a server. Whats the syst req for private hive? any idea?

Tents are saving. Vehicles are saving as long as they dont get teleported off the map.

Agreed. I'll take easily stockable Jerry cans over my vehicles going on holiday somewhere. :P

Could have easily been a legit camp and some hacker came along and loaded the vehicles up.

My camp is gone. Everything is gone. My vehicles--my beloved URAL...are/is gone. Some guys rolled up in their cars after tailing me and then AS50'd me. They've taken my URAL... Therefore I've lost everything. Now, as promised a long time ago, I shall execute Operation Vanquish. The last time I saw them they were on the western border. 997-999, 140-130. The URAL Is loaded with a shittone of guns, supplies...a shittone of everything. The server us AUS48. It is on version 1.7.2.4. I, Inception, am asking you, fellow DayZ players, to kill them. I am unable to currently. You don't have to do this if you don't want to. I can't force you. One of the players is called <GROVER> I'm asking for this favour out of me considering those who are willing as not mere other players, but as comrades. Do what you wish. I don't care if you save the URAL for yourself, or you blow it up. I really don't care anymore. Your move. EDIT: They were driving up the western border. EDIT #2: Oh well. Shit happens. I have an offroad and a motorcycle somewhere. If you do manage to find them, and you have proof either video/screenshot or ingame proof, post a comment or PM me. I can reward you with car parts, ammo, some weapons, whatever. If that is what your heart desires. All is well. Good night. EDIT #3: I'm not crying. Stop being so ignorant. I laughed when I saw them drive away with the URAL and then snipe me. That's never happened before. They are a well organised group. They left me with a bus in the middle of debug plains. The ultimate torture. They know to hide my body if it has gear. More power to them. But I will find them, and I will kill them. LAST EDIT FOR TONIGHT: Why would I cry? Honestly? I know the location of a tent with 2 Mk 48s, 2 AS50s, 1 M4A1 CCO SD, a ghillie suit, NVGs, rangefinders, GPS, map, compass, etc. I have an offroad, a motorcycle, another URAL, a GAZ and a UAZ. I have the car parts that would last me a life time. By everything, I meant everything on that server was lost. Not everything in the game for me was lost. I always have a back up. MORNING EDIT: The whole point of this post is to give players a chance for reward. It's more like a giveaway, except with a twist of intense action [if done correctly]. I've been meaning to do a giveaway for a while; I was merely waiting for the opportune moment to arise.

One thing iv'e noticed is that when the server restarts your vehicles start with no gas?

You know this is a good game when awesome weapons and vehicles don't spawn right next to you when you start playing, and aren't handed to you at designated checkpoints on a rail system.

Yeah looks like our server is not pulling tents or vehicles from the hive. We have shut it down for now. Where is this info coming from? the Vilayer Teamspeak?

Im all for the whole wiping servers clean or even wiping the HIVE clean. If thats whats necessary to catch the ones spawning this loot or to add some kind of filter in to completely prevent it after its all been wiped. Maybe save it for one of the major patches. Might as well do it, while vehicles and tents save 50% of the time and servers randomly kill you and spawn you with no gear at all.

Server updated to 1.7.2.6 Arma 2 Updated to 96584 Teamspeak 3 added as an alternative to side-chat. You can create your own private channels to chat with your group. I will also be sitting in the Admin Corner on the TS server as much as possible to assist with ban requests/server issues/scripters running wild. As I have been getting a steady flow of traffic on the server over the past week, I am looking into setting up a forum site to have players register to receive a password. Once I see that enough people have signed up and received the password, I will lock the server so that random script kiddies can't server hop to this server because it is always on the top of the lists for populated servers. Once this happens, I will look into upgrading the server hardware to allow even more players to connect and play at the same time. So come play! The scripting isn't worse than on public servers. If it was I would have ditched this server a week ago. I created this to get away from the massive attacks public servers get from scripters. I am going to add a whitelist in the near future to increase the protection even more so that our DayZ experience isn't destroyed by scripts. Once the password and forums are up. I will hold weekly contests for members. I am looking to do a weekly scavenger hunt to get players moving around the map for some in game prizes like vehicles and guns (Mountain Dew Can and an AS50 with 5 clips anyone?). As long as I keep seeing people play on the server. I'll keep doing my best to make sure your experience on my server is fun and uninterrupted.

Okay, so according to everything I have read on the wiki and through a good bit of the forum, the spawn settings for the Huey are limit one per server. I don't have proof as of right now, but when I get home from work I'll be sure to take a screenshot, my group has managed to comandeer 3 hueys. 2 of which are still able to fly. I don't know anything about a way to spawn in vehicles and what not, nor do I want to know, but these hueys when they were found needed repairs/gas. TL;DR I guess what I'm trying to ask through all the rambling is, "Is it possible to have more than one Huey on the servers now without hacks?" Thanks Much
