Sounds interisting! I just registered and will give your server a try this evening or tomorrow! From the server forum: Killing other players is ONLY allowed in following situations: - You are being shot at - You are being attacked/robbed/kidnapped by a bandit - You are a bandit and the person you are trying to rob/kidnap is trying to escape - Another player is stealing your items/vehicles

Thanks much! The problem is I know I saved my tents before logging off and my buddy Zach saved the vehicles before logging off. I'm really hoping that I still have my ghillie suit O.o"

first of all, theres tons of GB #00 servers, and second, anyone carying decent legit gear, wont bother fighting hackers since theres a good chance if they hacked theyre guns and vehicles, they allso have esp hacks aimbots and wallhacks. in other words, gtfo of there and hope for a dev fix soon. Greetings.

Hi all, I jumped into a server this morning after a long night of awesomeness last night to see if my gear was still there. After about 5 minutes or so, I keeled over and died as well as everyone on the server. I figured it was a hacker and jumped off. My buddy Brian texted me at work saying we were raided and are vehicles were missing so I figured it was a server reset. My question is, when you are on a server that is in the middle of a reset, do you die and get fresh spawned back on the coast or do you die and respawn where you died? Thanks, JoeDaddy92

thanks guys. i just joined the FoE server. you have vehicles on?

LOL No. You obviously haven't got a clue, so let me explain: I can stare at logs until my eyes bleed, I'm still only going to be able to get solid proof on about half the hackers in my server on any given night (not even counting the ones running engine hacks, which are at the moment, totally undetectable). I run custom anti-hack scripts, I stream the logs, I watch them like a goddamned hawk, I run ARMA II RCON on my other monitor, I have script filters uploaded to my server, and every night, there's still at least 5 assholes spawning boxes, vehicles, or Teleporting and PKing. This community is built on SA's who invested both time and money in this game, and subsequently had their hands tied by the devs. So if you want to talk shit about SA's, get your facts straight.

Anybody in Elektro right now? There are script kiddies up in the hills, the regular sniper spots, they have a blue van and other vehicles up there, but I need someone to help me kill the hackers! EUK Server! (GB #00) ! My name is Olly, come help the Bambi rebellion! :D

Dude i was exactly the same. My group have played for weeks together and only found 1 vehicle. The server restarted as we were driving away to hide and we completely lost it. I was so disheartened, but today I found 3 vehicles. Couldn't believe it. I think the server i play on just had a full reset or something cause looking in to cherry i can see the bus sitting there and people driving abou on bikes and it's the same in elektro too. Fun times :)

A vehicle can use an old batery for years, as it recharges it while driving, remember? Otherwise, an aimpoint-sight runs on a single battery for years, too. So basically, we are only talking about flashlights, nightvision, and rangefinders,as well as special scopes (FN/FAL ANPVS and L85 thermal). I would definitely second the bayonets idea though!! Had this myself, but in Arma2 it seemed unreasonable. Also, radio station broadcasting would be cool...and working radios, of course! And as lategame-elements, getting "stuff" of civilization working again...like electricity or water supply to the houses...to repair, secure and maybe even zombie proof a powerplant would be brutally hard, but kinda cool. Plus customizable vehicles, like with armor on the sides and front, as we see it on a lot of zombie movies...

Hey Matt! Thanks for your time. Considerations: Now I understand that you guys do not understand (it is very common, you have a very different point of view from us players). For us fans this is a long radio silence: there is no announcement (in the announcements forum) about the next version (remember when it used to have "pending hot fix [version]" and then a description of what it will contain and a ETA? Well, mostly those were all wrong, but it was communication. (I know you announced in the middle of a thread about a possible 6th September release date - but that is not very effective, people want clear communication, not hunting them in middle of random posts) Besides, Rocket's interviews are all the same info over and over again. The community is crazy to hear about just 3 things: 1) When will the graphical glitches be fixed for all (please understand I don't even have this question, I don't have glitches anymore) 2) When can we save tents? (My clan has mostly abandoned the game until this is patched) 3) When can we save vehicles? (My clan has mostly abandoned the game until this is patched) Answer those 3 questions in the announcements forum, in a clear thread about it (and fulfill your promise), and you will get a lot of good will from the community.

I don't get why do you send all entities of the game server to every player regardless of range. It's waste of bandwith. You should only send information from the region the player is at. There's an undetected hack out there that reads the information that server sends from memory and prints player locations, tents, vehicles, etc on a map. Please consider this changing this, as you will benefit performance wise and hackers benefit less from using the hack.

It was a hacker that teleported too us when we landed and shot us running around like a mad man with an as50, fair to say he was quickly banned, appeared out of nowhere behind me. Good fun going to have to find the vehicles again though.

In fact if you would fix the tents and vehicles, I would be happy - and you can't say it is that hard, because I heard private hives have fixed it and also shown how to fix it. I used to be a player of DayZ, now I just wait for some tent and vehicle fix for my next login.

I have played on a few servers but yet to find any vehicles. The servers I play on ever so rarely get to 10 people on at a time, during peak time. I have easily looked over 1/3 of vehicle spawns and.. alas nothing. I searched common hiding spots for them, and figured if they are common, they probably aren't anymore, but still.. no cars found, none at all. ALTHOUGH I found a bus. A BUS, crashed in elek. I would hardly call it a vehicle, too much to repair, too busy of a place even for a low pop server and not worth it really. Though it is a car, it is no UAZ or ATV :(

Batteries We have vehicles, gps, infrared, and night vision goggles, and all need electricity to run. Since we are surviving in a world without electricity, batteries should be necessary to keep these items in operating condition.

As small as this group may be, I'm sure there are others out there like myself that play Day Z using a controller. I use a wireless windows Xbox controller. I'm 39 years old and have done my share of gaming (since PONG) and have gained dexterity over the years using a controller. I know have played Day Z more than any other game to date and consider myself a gamer. I believe I play Day Z quite well yet because the controller support is limited (just as it was in Arma 2) I find my self wanting more for the standalone/mod so I can be even more competitive. Rocket you have stated you want to one day see Day Z on consoles (I prefer to play games on PC) . Now is the time to include full controller support. I currently have to play with my wireless keyboard next to me to do simple inputs like: Going into gear, stepping over obstacles, rolling, turing on night vision, compass, and the awesome leans around corners. I am the senior pilot of my squad and fly the chopper easily and even drive vehicles better than most my squad (They all love hitting stuff and many have blown up some vehicles.) The problem now is there are buttons that are not able to be mapped on the controller which could help make it's use more efficient. Functions I would like to see are: 1. A toggle button to drop down a list so I can scroll through choices with the D-pad and select things like, compass, night vision, GPS... ( the d pad maybe?) 2. A button to step over (A button?) 3. The ability to map to the left and right D pad buttons. 4. Perhaps the back/select button should be used to bring up the map and the shoulder buttons could be for leaning and rolling. If you use a controller please chime in. If you use a keyboard and mouse, game on! Its options like these that fall within the theme of Day Z, freedom to play the game the way I choose, given the options supplied by the game. Thoughts?

Meanwhile, some people are having fun on 1.7.2.4 where vehicles and tents are saved after "almost" every server restart. Glitch, who cares, restart game time to time or active the flush, that's how I roll. Anyway, just saying.... ....I'm just here for the Tiramisu, thank you Matt, delicious as always. :)

From what I'm hearing from my friend Brian, the server was reset and all of our vehicles are gone as well as the contents in our tents. Talk about rotten luck :/

This would be valid if helicopters were one time use vehicles. Once you get a chopper going you can ferry yourself and friends all over the map forever (once the vehicle save problem is fixed) until you're careless enough and get shot down or someone steals it. Just because you want instant gratification doesn't mean helicopters are useless. They're amazing for transportation.

dont weep little willow, check on your fancy camp in a couple server resets. But you can kiss those vehicles goodbye if he blew them up. Also, welcome to Dayz and stop getting attached to your gear

Hey dude i wouldn't mid joinin up. my skype is jesse.cardinal from farmington, mn. I currently have a dmr and l85 both with plenty of ammo. along with a PDW even thou i have been trying to find a m9sd cuz they rule. i don't have any vehicles yet but i am working on it. Im also working on getting a base of ops set up. so hit me up on skype im on usually alot. ill be home til three oclock central time. Otherwise i work til two in the morning and will be on again. so hit me up add me we can talk and see if we get along

Hell, I am starting to get used to hackers... its the tents / vehicles not saving that piss me off more than the hackers.... although its close for a tie

Hacked in vehicles that are improperly added will explode upon entering.

Good morning/afternoon/evening one and all, Had a pretty good run last night with a couple of buddies of mine and figured I would share it with you all (I managed to fraps most of it too!) So there I was. Just spawned into a server (US 455) at elektro north fire station. I look around and find a dead body. Not much good on it except some ammo. My buddy Brian jumps online and says he is in NWAF. So I make a checkpoint on the map and run that way Leeroy Jenkins style. On the way there, I managed to find a heli crash site and after wiping out the zombies around it with my AKM and M9SD, I found an M107, Ghillie Suit, and 2 FN FALs. I take precaution to take off my backpack and put on the Ghillie Suit (first one I've ever found ^.^) then put my pack back on (ALICE). While all of that is going on, my buddy Zach is online and making his way to the NWAF as well, but he spawned in the middle of Elektro and jumped out and into an empty server to kinda get out of town without being shot like so many people want to do. Unfortunately, he jumps into a server that spawns him on the east coast, so it sets him back a bit. Brian is exploring the NWAF and I'm about 3KM from him. He logs out to go eat dinner and I make it to the NWAF. Zach is around Stary or so by the time I get there and I'm starting to get graphical artifacts -_-# so I log out and log back in (usually fixes it) but when I log in, I "die" and respawn in debug plains (first time there too, now queue the gamer chick girlfirend... *cricket chirp* XD) So I curse a minute, log out, back in, spawn at Balota with nothing. Not even a tin can (but still have my ghillie suit so I guess that's the price you pay eh?) I run through the city and search for some supplies so I can once again, Leeroy Jenkins up to the NWAF. I find a coke, some beans, and a hatchet and what not but I lose some blood to the zed chasing me. I find a crossbow with no ammo and discard it. So I'm running in the direction-ish of NWAF, cutting through a couple of towns and looking for more noms and gulp to get me to NWAF. I cut past Green Mountain, found a barn with a double barrel shotty in it to give me some kind of edge, run a ways down past a town, look to my left, and there it was. White Pickup Truck. I was cautious at first becuase I know people and their traps, but zed were hot on my tail, so I decided to risk it (after all, didn't have much to lose) and find a stache of weapons and medical supplies and noms/gulp. PDW, M1911, CZ550, L85A2 AWS, M4A1, AK w/ Kobra, you know, the usual :D. The truck was in great shape, so I haul ass giggling like a little school girl. After I find that, Brian logs back on and finds a tent in the middle of NWAF with more weapons. Someone's AS50 with Thermal Sights (I know I know, hacked/scripted in by someone else of course but when in Rome...) and another L85A2 AWS. So in my excitement, I run past NWAF XD. I drive through it after going to look for my dead body to see If I could get any of my things back but couldn't find it. Meh. So I go and do my best to drive through the artifacts and pick up my buddy Brian. We go and make a temp base somewhere. He logs out and I go to pick up my friend Zach (who jumped back into the server a while ago and made it to the NWAF) and we head towards our favorite campsite (cannot disclose the location of it due to the rapid increase of bandits). And on the way, I kid you not, we find a boat, GAZ, and bike spawned in the middle of this field. So I know now that we are dealing with Skiddies on the server (because anybody can carry an AS50 TWS with them from server to server) so we drive over to the vehicles and I take a look at the GAZ. Low on fuel, needs a tire (which I have thanks to the gent who left that truck lying around) and a new fuel tank. I put the tire on and load it up with some gas and go to pick up my buddy Brian while Zach heads to base camp. On the way there, I find either the same crash site or another one, find another M107, and a PP-19. Zach drives over to me, I give him the M107 because I'm not a sniper (even though I'm wearing the ghillie, I like the L85 just fine ^.^) and we fill up at a gas station and part ways again. I pick up Brian and a few minutes later, successfully make it to base. Unpack and get everything taken care of. Not bad for a couple of hours eh? I logged in this morning to check on our supplies and got nuked along with the rest of the players on the server (that part I didn't get on fraps, didn't bother to run it since I was on the way to work) and D/C'd in hopes that I can make it back to base. I just had to post the shenanigans (from what I remember) and since I got the majority recorded, I'll fix it up and youtube it and post a link for those that enjoy watching other peoples gameplay and what not. Hope you enjoyed reading my little adventure last night. JoeDaddy92
