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

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!

Hey, 08.30.2012 hacker spawned all sort of vehicles near Airstrip Balota and teleported most of current players. I had some luck in this because I was biking while I got teleported, so I left the place immediatly. After a minute or two, admin decided to ban everyone online. (5-15players) My friend who was in skype and in the same server shares the story. I hope you can do something about this. Regards Tom

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.

UK 25 does just this. It is connected to the hive, on 1.2.7.5 and the tents and vehicles all save. It's not my server, but i haven't found many servers like this that are connected to the hive

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

Hey, was just wondering what's your favourite combination of weapons in this game? Here's mine: M249 (found in a tent near Stary) - this thing is a beast personal defence weapon. Can shoot faster than the Mk 48 Mod and has more bullets per clip. Much prefer it over the L85 just because of the sheer damage it can unleash in a short amount of time. Can also take STANAGs if you're running low on ammo. Perfect gun for hijacking vehicles, especially bicycles, motorbikes, ATVs (I suppose it would be quite useful against a chopper too) AS50 (found in a chopper crash site) - the mother of all snipers. This is the gun were I attempt to make 1000m kills (and sometimes succeed). Can stop a car in one shot and the bullet time isn't too bad even from extreme distances. You will need a rangefinder to get rough estimates of range for the long shots though. Revolver - my zombie killing gun. The ammo is quite common so I dont have to hit deadly areas just for pistol ammo. Has a nice amount of range and a decent iron sight so you don't have to get up close and personal with the zeds.

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.

I have recently downgraded to the patch before the current one and I gotta say that it is a complete change. 1.7.1.4 is essentially a more PvE focused patch, with the only servers running it very low pop and the ability to save vehicles and camps as well as being monitored very thoroughly by admins. I have a current group of 2 trusted people and myself and I think we could honestly use maybe 2-3 more. We play casually weekdays/ends just whenever people are on at the same time(really depends on work schedule,courses,etc). We don't have specified roles but from playing with these two guys for a while I can say that: One of my squad members is Bradley He is usually a heavily armed sniper He also uses demolition and silenced offhand My second squad member is Phillip He is a heavily armed sniper/rifle combo with some decent spotting ability If you believe you might be interested just post on here with a couple things: Age: What is it, try to atleast be 15-16, the squeaky voices are very tedious You Need a Mic/Headset: Y/N Why you might be interested?: We use Skype and Teamspeak but I myself have access to Ventrilo as well (no owned servers but different options) In the end, this game is all about survival. That works a lot better working together. See if you can figure it out.

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

Hi, I have recently read through the General Server Sticky on administration but I have recently had an issue that I need help with. I am an admin of a Private Hive server and I have had to Ban a few people for spawning in vehicles and rascism. The problem is, on a few occaisions I have banned a players GUID and a totally different player got banned. I am using BERcon and when I type the /ban (guid#) command it bans someone else. Does the player I'm banning need to be in the server at the time I ban them? I have been kicking them and then banning. Any help would be appreciated.

The Squad.xml file system was setup in ARMA 2 to allow users to setup their own clans/groups so you will. One of the key features of the setup was that you could assign a logo/picture to your character through the process, and that logo would show up on your player-model's arm as well as some vehicles. It would be great if the DayZ model's were update to include a complete armband. That way, on servers that have clans and such, we could have highly visible colored arm bands that would help in easily identifying people from your clan. Of course, the system could be cheated, but that's real life for you, but it would be cool to have this nonetheless.

You guys always have to rain on someone's good time, the OP did not mention a server so it is still safe and yes Berezino is still the safest of the three coastal cities with really good spawn locations. Whenever my group finds a vehicle we hit up the old lumber yard and grab parts to hunt for additional vehicles. While the city is a little off the beaten track it is a good place to loot for medical supplies and industrial complexes (by the time I make it up there I normally need next to nothing from the residential spawns, but it does have two grocery stores), and yes it is many times safer than Cherno or Elektro down south. Anybody saying differently is just taking an isolated incident and thinking it is the norm, for those of us who have actually played for quite some time we know Berezino is not a PVP hotspot. Nice city with good spawns (even a construction site inland that can yield almost everything needed for a vehicle), so I salute the OP for trying to give players a safe haven. Having said that, it will quickly devolve if so called friendly survivors start heading up there in large numbers because most of these guys call themselves friendly and only mean they are not actively looking to add a murder to their tally (which accurately describes me, not looking to kill you but if I happen across a geared player odds are one of us will die).

hello there all, im an american player who plays in the central time zone, looking for people who play around these times also. im not really looking for a big clan, but more looking to join a group of four or five players who have been playing for a bit and maybe have a base set up already or something. i enjoy looking for cars and heading up to high risk areas to loot up. i also like searching for camps and would also enjoy any mini missions the group would need to run. like i said, i want to join up with some people who have also been playing for a bit because i feel like i would fit in well and i know the ins and outs of just about everything. im looking for a clan that have some vehicles and tents already set up from before the .5 patch so that they still work. ive recently lost interest in this game because i couldnt save any tents or vehicles correctly so if that issue isnt a problem for you guys, id be looking to join. i can play during days and nights and my schedule is flexible. send me some info my way via response or messages and ill see if it would be a good fit for me. thanks

So yeah, just spent 5 hours trying to find a fucking engine part. Engine part found. Placed in VS3 Civi Server restart Respawned broken. When is a hotfix coming out for this shit fucking patch I was all about patience and stuff but now I. AM. MAD. :\ Its all well and good saying that oh busy with stand alone now and what not but come on to fuck man fix what needs fixing. Tents, Vehicles at the very least.

i'm curious how my buddy found one a couple weeks ago, not long after 1.7.2.5, in a vehicle that had freshly spawned after a server restart. i've seen a few other reports of people finding them, a couple who found them in freshly spawned vehicles, as well. also, it's entirely possible that tents have duped (both intentionally, and i'm sure unintentionally, too) the legitimate ones. assuming that everyone who has one is running a script is pretty ignorant. and i see peoples points here. you talk about doing wrong by using said weapons, yet you violate terms you agreed to when renting a server. it's like that old saying goes...

I was all for this suggestion until I actually sat down and thought about what a hive wipe would mean, sure it would clean up the majority of issues for a week or so but dupers would still have a ton of ways to circumvent this process and if they are not fixed I do not know how cool I would be with my mostly legitimate gear (I took an L85 out of my tent that was mysteriously put there after someone stole my offroad truck). When a new patch comes out you can still find servers using the old patch for weeks, log onto one of those servers and set up a tent and you now have infinite gear again. Or log onto an old version and dupe your body, take your high level gear and repeat (if none of you have seen the guys standing with a pistol who are "dead" this is the body dupe, highly annoying). I am completely fine with a wipe of all gear, I know how to play and it will not take that long to replace most of the gear (NVG's represent the only gear I have ever had trouble finding in a legitimate manner). Just to be clear I attempt to play 100% legitimate, this means I do not dupe myself and always feel bad for taking things from obvious duper tents unless it is too awesome to pass up (I am looking at you satchel charges). I usually try to satchel charge tent fields despite knowing they will be back. Edit: Debug fields and forest needs to eat any tents or vehicles stored out there to combat these vehicle hoarding a holes. If I find a vehicle hoard I also satchel charge that nonsense after stealing what my group can use (usually means two to a vehicle at the very least so no more than three).
