Got any vehicles? any at all, ill trade almost anything you need, nvgs, rangefinder ghilies, ghilies, as50s, l85s, i got almost all the guns. I would just like a vehicle, any kind except a bike (even a tractor). I've been hunting vehicles for about a month with no luck. Can trade your location under your rules, feel free to have overwatch.

So, do tell me where it says I was up there for everu last kill I got? I literally had JUST flown my chopper up there. Yes, I have been up there before, but not for very long. And if you weren't paying attention to what I have been saying, I was already at -400k before the choppers were even rolled out. If you haven't noticed, the game is utterly broken right now. Tents and vehicles do not save.. and all the items in them are replenished upon server reboot. The vast majortiy of people have turned to Cherno/Elektro deathmatch. So excuse me for doing the only possible thing right now, as going out for loot is entirely pointless. If you must know, about 10 minutes after this thread was posted I got sniped off the thing. It's not the best spot in the world :P As for the TWS, I've killed probably close to 100 people who had one that were NOT hackers. They've infested the game. And they're not illegal. Cry about it. If it were up to me, I'd make em illegal. But since they're not and so many people use em, I might as well too. You cannot place tents on buildings. They fall through to the ground.

We practically own the hardware our server is on we keep it open 24 hours with 2 clearly defined restart times, if it was a private hive then it really does not matter. And yes your right there are many severs to choose from and this is alpha, but I hope with the standalone server owners like yourself will not be able to abuse their privilege to hoard gear and vehicles it defeats the point of having a central hive and open persistent world.

A total reset please. Reset all cars and items. Vehicles are spread wherever and don't even save. Tents dupe everything including scripted weapons. Which bring little to no challenge to the game.

Nah it gets reset even if fully repaired. It's a 1.7.2.5 bug. A known 1.7.2.5 bug. At the very least you know where all the vehicles are.

On what server? Might want to research a lil bit before saying that. On 1.7.2.5 servers there is a bug where vehicles MAY NOT save. But we have been running 1.7.2.4 for a month now and the chopper has never just "reset" on us.

Server hopping is a contentious issue. It's really nice to be able to change servers at will, but it creates all kinds of problems, Ghosting being the primary issue, server hopping for loot farming, vehicles and sniper killing noobs being other issues. I wonder if the cons outweigh the pros on this one and thought it might be interesting to see what everyone else thinks about how it should be handled in the standalone. So vote and discuss.

What I was thinking was having a choice of a skillset when you spawned. I'm not talking anything huge, just something enough to make you a little better at a certain task in DayZ. It'd kind of be like a job before the zombie apocalypse. Some ideas: 1. Mechanic. Vehicles would take a few less parts to fix up. (Vehicles need 2 engine parts or 2 fueltank parts to repair instead of 1) 2. EMT. Bandage wounds faster (Less blood loss) Medical tasks may be faster? 3. Outdoorsman. Able to get a few more meats off of dead animal bodies, able to start fires without matches (Have matches be scarcer) Can't think of anymore right now. Don't get me wrong I'm against classes and that bs. But this is mainly from the view of getting more cooperation into the game. None of these would or should put you "above" another player. Everyone can still accomplish the same thing, with realitive ease. But if you're running along and see someone of another skillset you may be able to join up. This of course would be for the standalone.

Hehehe :) well... not a life partner in real life, but in Dayz, i would really appreciate some grown up company instead of backstabbing 14 year olds. I think this game is about fun and exploring new things, if you are that sort of guy/girl i would be happy to make contact. Slyguy65 as i said, not interested in guys in RL. But if you want to play and have a laugh (i`m all about laughs) i would be cool with that. Love to drink and play at the same time, i got great knowledge of the game and can eventually teach you if you are new to the game, can find every weapon, suits and vehicles if you are interested. :) Chillaxing to the maximum! See you ingame!

The former half of the question is a known variable, the latter is not, known, or a variable. I've found and repaired the majority of vehicles in game, but never bothered getting a list of what actually spawns in them and was hoping some obsessive data collector has done so. I've checked the wiki, and the database, and searched the forums to no avail. Help, it's greatly appreciated and rewarded with beans.

In principle yes. But there's not much stress on the servers if people stay off the servers or play on non-hives because of the issues discussed here. At least to us as the players and admins the bugs of 1.7.2.5 are known: Vehicles don't save at all or get changed to other vehicles upon server restart. Tents save content only once. Graphical Artifacts still are not fixed. I mean is it that hard to revoke a hotfix, that didn't fix what it should have and introduced an even bigger problem??? It wasn't ought to be released anyways in the second place. Conspiracy Theory: (so these are not facts and I don't really beleive it, still it would be funny if it was true) Rocket and the Devs keep this quiet about the mess on purpose, because they purposely introduced those bugs. Why? Because every hotfix Rocket posts: THIS IS FOR TESTING PURPOSES ONLY. Still all hosters ignore it and update within the first few hours after release and then refuse to downgrade when the bugreports start rolling in. I think they wanted to test how able the community of hosters and admins are to react to such issues without getting their hands held by Rocket and his team. Edit: I think for a large part we failed this test.

I'm a decent player, I don't combat log (only for hackers). I'm on about 35 days now still going strong, I have survived 3 hacker tp's, 2 heli crashes, numerous snipers and I have 0 murders and 0 bandit kills. I like to find vehicles and gear up my friends who are new spawns. I also survived a bridge with an ATV O_O

This is a fantastic idea for the game. It also ties in with a lot of other threads talking about ways to lessen pointless killing. People getting better at the tasks they are doing, or getting stronger or higher skills in game, whatever it may be, would make the majority of players have at least some interest in surviving and possibly teaming up. This game is all about realism, anything too unrealistic should just be dis-guarded. Skills are seemingly unrealistic because they usually pertain to MMO's / RPG's and most relate them to unrealistic skills or grinding. But in real life, do you get better as you do things? Do you get better as you practice? As you train? Absolutely. Practicing with vehicles will give you more knowledge and better skills working with them. Same goes for shooting, practice shooting and you will get better working with the gun. Getting into gunfights will give you the experience of it. It's like fighting, you can watch the UFC for 5 years, know everything about fighting, but its a completely different story when you get in there and do it, it takes time to adjust to the moments. Of course though making things too realistic / unrealistic is going to hurt the game. So adding boosts or ways of getting better at what you are doing can only go so far so that it cannot be unrealistic and cannot be grinded. For example someone said about shooting your friend and healing them to gain skills. First off, you shoot your friend and he might start bleeding, or break a bone, or pass out, anything. Now you face that direct problem, as well as needing to use supplies to fix him up. It would be easy to combat a problem like this simply by having supplies be more valuable than to just waste them like this, which is the way the game is supposed to be anyway, or adding a time frame where he is recuperating and is less efficient. Same thing goes for vehicles. Parts should be more valuable, as well as them being hard to carry and obtain all the supplies. Making the idea of breaking your vehicle and repairing it to gain skill less possible. The idea that dying also takes away all skills gained will make it so people are less worried about grinding than they are about surviving. And in any case, skills should be minute compared to what skills do in other games. Excellent idea kpekep2

Scumbag OP, justifies hacking with bugs and hackers. Hey! I got any idea! If everyone hacked we wouldn't need to worry about hackers! We could roam around the land until we found a place to setup a base or in search of super hacker vehicles. Then we'd need some hacking zombies to attack us to make it a little challenging and maybe some hacking guns that wouldn't let us hack them in out of thin air. Then maybe an occasional super hacker player that would kill us for our beans. If only there was a game like that.

This is something that you should be asking your host as you are paying them for support. However, for RCON you need to add a password into your rcon configuration file within your configuration/BattlEye folder (not sure how HA has them setup - default is cfgdayz). Then login with a rcon client. You can't edit the respawn time on vehicles. You can't edit the respawn time on items.

just noticed a few saying we abort. I assure you 95% of us at last account do not abort. and we take a stand against hacked weapons, Dekz does not knowingly allow any members to use these guns - the southpark Characters on our server use hacked weapons / vehicles and teleportation i think we enjoy the epic last stand far too much, plus most nights we are all recording If you are about on 275 / 276 and wanna group up let us know

Friendly (working in a kindergarden, not gay) viking from Norway, looking for other guys to team up with. Usually a nice guy, unless i got my PMS! My trait is that i am a devil at finding vehicles, driving them as well (cant fly a Heli though) Love countersniping the bastards up on "sniper hill", i can run/bicycle for hours to find a couple of nice tents and so on and so forth :) My RL friends play alot of SC2, and are not interested in Dayz, so i end up watching alot of streams instead of playing myself, i still think this game is more fun when playing with others, than do solo runs. Feel free to reply or send me a private message. :) PS: not interested in a clan, just great people to play with on daily basis

Just a warning for anyone looking to play on US 2313: the admin named Roy kicked all the players while we were playing on it (5 people), without any reason nor any warning. it took us 2 hours to repair vehicles, then we are kicked while riding them, meaning we are now glitch stuck and can only die (we are fully geared). Please report this admin to DayZ staff if possible. Thx.

Add me on steam RoachRegenesis I have 2 entire camps build and scavenged by myself, and only I know about. I am very experienced and know most what there is to know about Dayz including little tips and tricks. I feel like I own the server im on because I am yet to die and have the most tents set up that I could find. I gear up and hunt bandits in the large cities and am very tactical (but I hate combat loggers) .. I need a squad to make my mark larger, add me on steam if interested. I am very well geared and always will be. Have a cache of vehicles as well, but lost the chopper to a thunderdome yesterday ........

ZIBs ? Nah. At least not as "Currency" Items already have a "worth", that is based on their rarity. This already allows trading. I think everything has to become rarer: Weapons, Ammo, Medical supplies, Fuel, ... Just not Vehicles (but very limited fuel supply) I'm thinking of Highways, where (working) Cars stand bumper on bumper, but They'd be difficult to get out of the jam and would have almost empty fuel tanks. But! They could be scavenged for Supplies, Parts, Fuel, ... Thus creating new High traffic - high risk areas. (Of course, there'd be only few Cars that'd have the occasional Morphine Injector or some Painkillers, maybe a knife... Most would only have Soda Cans, Empty Cans, Trash, And maybe - if this'll make it into the game - Information/background story about the infection)

I havent dealt with vehicles much but my clan does/has.. and i tell you what they never seem to have trouble finding them..regardless of server reset(s) HOWEVER, i must stress these vehilces are stumbled upon and not searched for.. theres only about 12 of us.. we work together and keep our shit tight and seem to find them.. but most the time im not around.. so im not taking a side to credit/discredit this thread. Just explainging my experience over 350 hrs of gameplay. My self personally, I have only found 3 vehicles ^__^

There isn't a reason to use a different sniper aside from the AS50.. Unless you prefer how it looks? Or want to be different. AS50 is better then all of them. You can also blow up vehicles using NATO rounds with it... Why use a different sniper? :S

And vehicles, don't forget the vehicles :)

Ok so i have them and i have no complaints other than support never being online. but i have a few questions and i was hoping someone on here could lend me a hand. 1) Rcon, how do i set it up for my server? 2) how do i edit the respawn times on Vehicles? 3 how do i edit the respawn time on Items? ( its seems to take like almost an hour for items to respawn)
