"WAS" is the key word in your statement, it no longer spawns. Anyone, including Rocket and his staff/BE and their staff that thinks that USING hacked in weapons is not cheating is wrong, it's common sense. That is why, after a warning, players will be banned from our server for using hacked in weapons or vehicles. Oh yah, calling someone a retard cause they have a differnt view than you, real original, lol

Yeah, that's the sort of thing I'm talking about. Two tractors? Hippie bus? Just parked out there? Your trophy room impoverishes the whole server, taking a big chunk of the most interesting gameplay and social dynamics out of action. It's the least interesting thing you could possibly do with vehicles in DayZ. I'd firebomb that in a second, and take off on the dirt bikes. Next server restart there would be eight new vehicle spawns for people to cooperate and compete for, giving the server a big shot in the arm.

The current issue is people using scripted/hacked in weapons/vehicles that are not currently available legitimately in the game. It is completely possible to know if you have picked up a hacked weapon or found a hacked vehicle. If you do, drop it, destroy, do not use it, it's cheating. Trying to compare that to you picking in a hacked in legit weapon is comparing apples to oranges, not remotely the same.

I think it's just because it's Lingor Island and has its own rules. Hell, fuel pumps fill up vehicles in lingor just by passing by them. I'm just gonna say it's lingor since Chernarus doesn't have a zero on the DMR (Unless they somehow did a hotfix since last night).

However comfortable you are living under a rock, it doesn't suprise me that you confine yourself to Dayz forums for your Dayz news. I assume you don't run a server so I wouldn't expect you to check the server threads but since you haven't, let me suprise you. THE DAYZ COMMUMITY ALREADY FIXED THE TENTS AND VEHICLES. The problem is, the only way to apply these fixes is to have access to your server files . For those of us that rent a server, we have to get the server hosts to apply the fix. And most of them don't or won't unless there is an official patch. So please, hold your tongue. We are aware of how hard coding is, but the coding has already been done. It just needs to be revised and polished to a hotfix by Rocket.

To each their own but personally I feel that this will be taking away from your experience. The risk of dying and having to start over is an integral part of the mod. If you take that away, you may as well buy a BF3 where dying does not matter. I would rather play the game as it was intended although I make certain exceptions. There issues which exist in this form of the mod, (pre-stand alone), like coming across a stash of vehicles. They are probably hacked in...and one needs to make a choice. Do I take one or not? This morning I came across a stash of boats, atv's cars and such. I ended up taking a bike....my argument being that if I do not, the next guy will. I wish I had a countdown timer for the stand alone......I simply cannot wait for the launch.

So as we all know DayZ numbers have dropped more than my balls when I clicked a gay-porn link thinking that tight ass in the preview icon was female. Why? 1) Hackers: Been there done that (actually still have like 2 weeks left in my hack sub) It ruins the game for both sides but more primarily for the non-hackers as even now that I want to get back into playing DayZ it's a waste of time knowing someone out there is hacking and may or may not kill you. 2) Duping: This was one of my personal big anal penetrations with Dayz. I played legit about 2 weeks before a friend showed me how to dupe weapons with the backpack glitch and we went on to tents and vehicles. 3) Speaking of which; Servers: Rented a server for 2 months just so I can have my own personal vehicles and heli. Had the server off at night/when friends did not play/when jumping onto different servers to rape people at airfields. 4) Lack of end-game content 5) Racist artifacting which only happens when my black roommate is taking a dump. 6) Graphical LIMITATIONS. Ohh... I'm sorry your mom bought you a computer from best buy with a 6450 or some shit. I have a $400 video card so I can max out games, not have it idle at 6% usage when fog is forced at 1600 meters. Poor fucks can go eat shit and die. (or get a value card like 560ti gtx, 5830, 6850, 7850, 660ti gtx $100-$280 range) and play all the 3D porn games you ever wanted. 100k players in last 24 hours? We have 1.2 million players registered and over 1.1 million came in in the last 2-3 months (I was one of those new players during the rush). Sure you can QQ me a river how other games also have a shitty 1-10% player base that plays but this mod has been playable for FOUR FUCKING MONTHS. If over 90% of the players no longer play, you have a problem. But since rocket is busy with jacking off on camera to random reporters instead of trying to at least make this playable once again why can't we just have game files handed out and a proper tutorial set up to have dayz hosted privately? You can QQ me a river of Pringles the Original Potato Chips all you want but being 18 I do not have a hard time finding 60 friends who are willing to play Dayz together on one private server the way the game was made to be played. TLDR: Lays sucks and I hate finding potato chips in my bag of air. Give us private servers before the mod fully dies off.

Is it possible to play on a server that saves tents and vehicles in 1.7.2.5 ? I have done it in the previous patch but can't seem to find a server on this one that maintains saves. Are there any healthy servers anyone would like some company on ? No more than 5 and Hero-status friendly.

YES! Forests need to be more dangerous and not a safe haven for clans/tents/vehicles/snipers. Bears and wolves would be great to hunt down all the enter their domain. Different kinds of wolves would be nice too, some species specific to the mountains, others to low lying planes. There should also be different types of bears such as black, brown, and grizzly along with adult/young bears/wolves. Being able to shoot birds in general would be nice too and able to gut them for 1 meat or something. Riding horses, along with killing them for food would be cool too. There needs to be more modes of transportation IMO because i just hate walking everywhere. Maybe not neccessarily more cars, but bikes, or just something simpler like the horse would be perfect. To expand on the horse though, maybe needing to find a saddle that only spawns in barns in order to ride it, and maybe rope to tie the horse to something or else it will run away? Stray cats maybe? FERAL dogs? Hmmm, what other animals could we add... The bats i'm indifferent to as they'd just be for appearances, flying around and eating bugs. Adding fish into the game would be cool, chuck a grenade in the water, kill a school of fish, wade into the water to go and harvest the fish (require a fileting knife?)

How about a 1.7.2.6? quick update to fix tents and vehicles not saving? I jest though, I'm sure developing a game, even just a mod like this takes alot of work. Looking forward to the next update though.

The reason my interest is waning is bugs, and duplicated/spawned items. It's not so fun that 80% of the people I see have 100% of the rarest gear, then once I take one of then out with an axe, they show up 20 minutes later with the same kit. Vehicles and tents are borked = more frustration and lack of motivation to squirrel away any bits and bobs I find cause it won't work, or causes more duped items. I still play a bit, not as much as I did... just waiting for fixes at the moment while playing other stuff.

I know there are a lot of spawn points for vehicles that aren't on the online maps so it may be that the popular ones are being hoarded and you haven't yet found the others.

You're not missing out on anything. In a vehicle you are just a sitting target for any Johnny within range. Not to mention the myriad ways to injure / kill yourself by crashing or glitching (and this being a military FPS you can imagine how the vehicles handle). If I see a hoarded vehicle I blow it up with a frag grenade so that someone else potentially more worthy has the chance to use it when it respawns. But that probably doesn't work in 1.7.2.5 anymore, so i'm probably just wasting grenades.

It's probably a combination of people who are: - sick of hackers - sick of artifacting - bored without storage/vehicles - not liking the PVP - playing on private hives(? I assume stats on who's playing private hives wouldn't be tracked by the site) - discovering 'OH! THAT's what 'alpha' means.' and moving on to the next shiny thing - people finding it's just not their cup o' tea The top three are game breakers for many. Simply put, it was a bad set of circumstances for that release to coincide with Rocket being occupied for a month. But, that's what happens sometimes. Due to the hackers I think numbers will stay relatively low until standalone. There'll likely be a surge when the fix for tents/vehicles happens though.

Right yeah I'd just like to follow up on Ark's reply here. I'm gonna write up a bit about iG and who we are hopefully you guys will be able to understand us better. iG is a close-knit community of about 10 players, We all started DayZ roughly around the same time but there are a few of us who are "new" to the game and still getting to grips with it. Most of us are mature players who aren't disrespectful to other players, we will always go out of our way to assist players as long as we know they are friendly. We may have 2 choppers but we've already shown that we are more than willing to pick people up and give them a ride to wherever they need or want to go. All we ask is that you approach the chopper with your weapon lowered and dont make a hostile action towards the chopper, We dont want to have to kill anyone but we will have an M240 trained on you :P About 90% of the group will only ever fire their weapon if in self defence, I'm a friendly player and I have never fired my weapon or killed anyone that didn't shoot at me / make a threatening stance first We aren't hoarding vehicles, As Ark says we have 2 choppers... We found the 2nd chopper up north somewhere & yeah we have 1 dirt bike, 1 hatchback (which isn't being driven as told by Ark), 1 UAZ and an SUV. We are also laying off the crash sites for now, other than looking for rare ammo and ghillies You guys have nothing to worry about if you think we might get bored and go player hunting, We hold skirmishes between ourselves and in the event that we hold one while you guys are on we will tell you what town its in and ask you not to interfere for your safety. We basically never go player hunting, I think the whole us hijacking the first chopper has made people think that we are dicks & bandits and that we dont care about anyone else which is really furthest thing from the truth I have a TS which supports 30 people and you guys are more than welcome to join it at anytime and chat with us or other survivors in game. We have several channels and we have reserved the right to make a private channel for iG members should we need to discuss any confidential or classified information IP: 85.236.100.85:15177 I am not giving the password out here on the public forums as I only want survivors on the PDR server using it, if you want the password just ask for it in game and I will give it out. Make sure to save the server under your bookmarks also As I said guys, we are friendly players and we dont want to make any enemies or cause trouble on the server, we just want to actually be able to play the game for what its worth (which we can finally do here) because we are tired of having to play on the official hive with hackers and script kiddies. We honestly mean you no harm and we are more than willing to trade weapons and vehicles if people wanna trade with us

Hello, I play everyday starting around midnight, Tokyo time (GMT+9). If you happen to play in asian servers (not a requirement), such as JP, KR or SG, PM me so we can team-up. As a hero I despite the KoS mentality, except in case of bandits, whom I like very much to hunt down. Every survivor deserves a chance to proof being friendly. I play serious and enjoy strategy. Plan is to first gear up quickly in Cherno or Electro and then look for vehicles. Raid military installments and set a pair of tents for backup. Then go to the coast to help new spawns and kill bandits. Alone is quite a challenge. Nothing fancy here. Just looking for a partner to watch my six. We can debate strategies.

If I played the wrong game I would be gone a long time ago, I think we can agree that people who actually play dayz despite bugs, hackers, servers swallowing all your gear, vehicles disapear (the list is long) is not playing the wrong game. Since you don`t know me assumptions from your part only lead to missunderstandings. I love sims, I printet out 40++ pages back in the days just to learn how to start a plane in a aricraft sim. And I have played all arma games since the first one. How much time do you need ? I have played arma since the first game and played sims as long as I know. You actually "pulled" the weapon dmg perk as an example ?? It`s the damn crossbow you are talking about, yeah, the one you NEVER use, the one people just pass by when they see it. If you had this perk you would still use a gun, I am sure. Most people would simply not use it because a gun would be better. Youmissunderstand the point of this. I have said this so many times that I am tired of repeating myself. This is NOT to give anyone an edge, but to give people something to loose when they die!! At it`s current state I see people who behave like they don`t care about surviving, because of 2 things, they are "done" yeah that`s right they can`t really "learn" much more. And second they have emptyed all their gear in a tent so they don`t care about dying anymore. As xXI Mr Two IXx says I also want more out of dayz. Perhaps you have much to learn or to explore, but the time will come when you feel done aswell. Fact is most people will never even see any of the feats, many will not even survive for 50 hours, so when you do and you get that perk, you don`t want to die even if it does not give you an edge in pvp. If you want to stack 5 bolts in your pack you have to kill 50 zombies with a cross bow and survive for 50 hours, I am sure you have done none of these so far. If a perk can make you work for something you would otherwise not even bother with it will expand the your gameplay, you can plan what you want to do and how you should contribute to a group. And to top it off you agree with the guy who does not want "dicerolls" !?! Zombie hits you, a rng (diceroll) decide if you will start bleeding. Zombie hits you, a rng (diceroll) decide if you will break a bone. Zombie hits you, a rng (diceroll) decide if you will become concust. Car crash, diceroll decide if it starts to burn. Shots in the game already affected by dicerolls. Heck, even when you enter a city the "die is rolled" what loot will spawn. (can make a longer list) Diceroll is the closest you can come to some realism, if you do something and it ALWAYS works it is unrealistic that is why arma 2 (and the previous ones, inkl dayz) use diceroll NOW! there is not much diceroll in the suggestions i made, only in the bandage one and that was suggested by someone who liked the idea, so I changed it since I agree that the my previous feat was bad. Not a fan of diceroll myself, but used correctly they are a great tool, and need`s to be there so we don`t ALWAYS succeed in things we do over and over again. And thanks to xXI Mr Two IXx he said so much in his post I was thinking myself :) Oh and one last thing, never really played skyrim much, did not like it, got boring really fast. I played arma 2 :)

Actually you can ban the fuck out of who you like on your server IF you become a private hive. We have our server that was public, now private. You can't join unless we get ur email and ur ingame name. We monitor for any scripts and you need to email for a password (Of which we've had a lot of responses and much praise by the people who play on it). The server is backed up every 20 minutes and we can still send evidence of cheaters to battleye to get them globally banned (all scripts ran get logged by guid). The other nice thing about the private hive is that it works. Tents and vehicles save but it's still buggy, but at least we can make camps and drive around. People can actually work towards something without having it ruined on a server restart. The biggest problem we're facing so far is farming gear - wowee - compared to all the shit going on the public servers, this is nothing and easily dealt with. Change to a private hive, get people to email in and send them the PW - works great and people who don't cheat kinda like the idea of being in a relatively secure server knowing that if their shit gets fucked up, it can be restored and they lost 20 minutes.

Me and my buddies were playing on our regular server, having lots of fun finding vehicles and stuff. It was getting kinda late so we decided to head back to our camp and log out to continue the next day. When we logged again to continue where we left suddenly my friend cannot login. The server is broadcasted with a msg player *snip* has been kicked by BattleEye: Admin ban (gamehack #37) We've played the mod from the beginning, honing the survival aspect and never exploited the mod in any circumstances, yet this happens? I've contacted the admin team so they could look into this but they need the GUID of my friend for possible unbanning. Yesterday we tried to find it, googled the battleEye command and other possible ways, but when my friend tries the command ingame he only gets a blank response(like: BattleEye: player GUID: ) and he doesn't see his GUID when joining a server, like me and my other friends do. I don't know if he is blind as a mole or just plain stupid, but he can't see his GUID :P. So im asking your help for hints to find the GUID so we can continue playing on our fav server. I've tried to look into the Arma2 and BattleEye folders for leads, but there isn't anything useful inside. But if it turns out it was a legitimate ban im going to laugh and diss my friend for being a jerk and not telling he's been hacking :DD

Unfortunately there are a lot of people who choose to use vehicles as tents. Not only that but they also hoard them for themselves if they are a group larger than 2 or 3. Basic pattern is to find something easy to get around on, I.E. Bikes, Motorcycles, ATVs, and find as many other vehicles as possible. Fix them all. Hide them in a hole somewhere and never actually use them. Now, nobody gets to enjoy a vehicle. Welcome to DayZ.

Try a less popular server or check the western/northern map borders; people tend to hoard found vehicles there

I was looking for a night server to play on, found US249 LA, spawned outside elek near cap galova, a chopper flew over and picked me up. He asked if I wanted some gear and seemed friendly enough, took me to northern airfield outskirts in the trees and let me take a ak-74s and some drink from a tent. He then dropped me off in a field full of vehicles and said I could have one. I asked if they were his and he said no and flew away, so I took a uaz and drove (getting completely lost in the woods). someone appeared near me shooting at me, I checked the player list and only him and I were online. He kept teleporting near me and shooting, I managed to get far enough away to exit the vehicle and quit. As the title of this thread shows, his name was Titty Sprinkles.

Why do u guys even bother playing on public servers that a) have hackers and b ) don't fucking work right anyway. At least private hives save vehicles and tents and have admins as well.

There's definitely trolling in this thread... ...Petrovka is a good place to find vehicles around though. Yes, it would be but who would store it there when it's not being used? I wouldn't say anything is safe in this game, but it is safer. I'm sure it will become a bigger target if friendlies move up there, worse then the spawn zones of Cherno and Elektro? No.

Tried working this out with support, and they can't seem to figure it out either. So, I decided to make a post here about it to pool other Owners if they're getting the same issue after the new update. *Server is completely up to date, both Beta and Day Z/Hive *Tested multiple times, this isn't the usual derp where the items didn't save. *Very similar bug when compared to the previous Million+ tent issue where the inventories didn't sync to the database. Except this time, its any tent as well as vehicles. *Thoroughly tested multiple situations with other users on the sever. I would normally post a bug report as well, but I'm holding off as I have yet to see any other user/server report the same problem, have tired searching, but perhaps my Google-Fu is weak. This isn't a new server, and as stated, this is A DIFFERENT bug compared to the normal hiccups and lack of saving, positions of vehicles save as well. Its inventories of both tents and vehicles which do not save, either items you take out, or put in. Basically breaking storage all together. So if any other Hosters/Owners/Players are getting this same issue, or have found a post regarding it, please post. I'll put in a formal bug report if itsnot just an isolated issue.(unless a mod wants to move this, this is more directed at server owners, and may only be pertaining to JUST my server.) Any help to this would be much appreciated. :)
