I'm a lone wolf, and at one point last week I had 1 motorcycle on 2 different servers, and nearly had a sedan fixed up on one of the servers where I had a motorcycle. I play on low pop servers. If you find one that's "sleepy" enough and carefully search the spawn areas, you will find a vehicle. Legit DayZ requires patience as well, so take your time and plan out your moves around the map. If no vehicle in spawn point A, have a B,C, and D lined up. It also helps not to be picky. My first 2 vehicles were tractors.

Clan Party Bus. Bitches Clan Party Bus is a group of survivors that met through these very forums and United, creating a team of (not so) elite survivors, taking over server by server, hording gear and vehicles, and having tonnes of fun on skype. OK so we are clan party bus, we were originally a bunch of guys with skype who started talking and fooling around until one server we found a bus. Shit got real. from now on it is our mission in dayZ to obtain a vehicle (bus preferred) and ride that out from electro to berezino to NW back to cherno, hording 10 AKMs and 10 Ak-74 Kobras and other gear. Our Current group has 6 members, and we all are geared well enough (NV goggles, DMRs, Rangefinders, Camo outfits) And we are looking to expand our ranks to maybe 10 or so people so we can flush out a server within a few hours of the vehicles and gear it has, horde a massive camp and then grab an AKM each and see who survives in Cherno for the longest. We are a legitimate clan though, and we do take our shit pretty seriously, for as much fun as we have, we also get things done. NOTE: we are not a tactical clan like you will see on youtube with all As50s and camping outside Stary, we are a survivor clan.

Hello fellow survivors, as most of you are aware vehicles have been resetting all over the place on most 1.7.2.5 servers and that's been quite an annoyance for me and my clan who lost both our cars. Anyway, i was wondering if either vehicles could be reset back to their positions in 1.7.2.4 or all the vehicles just be reset when 1.7.3 is released or if they dayz team can tell, reset the vehicles that have been glitched. I know people probably think 'OMG you obviously hoard vehicles and ruin everyone's fun!' well, both of our vehicles we've randomly come across and we only kept as many as we need (2 cars being that they're 5 of us :)). I understand that this is an alpha and things do happen i mean i've lost all my gear about what.. 6 times to debugging. I also know a lot of people will get annoyed if this does happen but the vehicles have majorly glitched, i've even heard of cars turning into buses and bicycles after a restart >.< Madness! I also want to know if anyone has been able to keep their vehicles from 1.7.2.4? Because so far from what i've read it seems to have affected most people but if it's only just a few then i guess never mind :rolleyes:

In Dayz commander it will have a cloud with an X in front of the server name and say that the server is unofficial. If you join the server and you start a fresh character you will know its a private Hive. The main differences I have seen is that they sort of make their own rules. The server I play on has global text chat enabled and the admins are really active and ban any hackers that they catch and any one that is cheating. Also there are so many more vehicles that you almost always find a bike or someone else driving a vehicle around. I like that you can't ghost on private hive's so alt+f4 is meaningless.

How on earth is less than a week of playing a glitchy alpha game and getting banned worth 25 dollars. If you were that curious why didnt you just play regular arma2 where they GIVE YOU all the weapons and vehicles. Curiousity cured. Might as well have bought a steak dinner with that 25 dollars.

All i would like to know is when are the tent and vehicle issues going to be addressed. Our camp has been ransacked more times then a high street hooker but we can't set up a new camp due to tents/items/vehicles not saving properly.

To be perfectly honest admins pay circa 50 quids per month for the "privilege" of not being able to ban hackers without 16.3 hours of video footage and all the logs in the universe. Not to mention the privilege to not be able to do a full server restart, with tents and vehicles gone. There are tons and tons of abusive admins over there, to be sure. There are, however, tons and tons of legit admins being fucked by them rules, and/or blacklistings.

Go to a private Hive server. People don't go camping cherno/elektro as much, no alt+f4'ing to ghost behind someone and usually there are a lot more vehicles spawns.

Probably the admin and his friends took all the vehicles and hid them in the woods somewhere. You'll have to look at the northern/western borders of the map for vehicles.

I don't mind not having vehicles around. I frequent the northern towns, and travel to each on foot. It's nice being stealthy rather than drawing a ton of attention with a car or helicopter. I even have a bunch of routes made up throughout the forests and hills in the north. :) I honestly haven't even been to Cherno or Elektro since I used to spawn with a Makarov.

So I had this thought. Even though im a bandit and guilty of the same thing, the massive weapon stores are making it far too easy to just run and refit without much effort. What if the system were setup where weapons degrade with use? Im not talking something drastic here like you wear it out in one day. But something that keeps the "supply and demand" a little more in balance. Say you use an AS50, been carrying it a week with substantial use. Well now it has a chance for the "action" to break forcing you to have to find some parts to fix it. Not too hard to find you know? Maybe down the road have an abandoned "gun store" where you can have a chance of finding odds and ends. Vehicles should be the same, requiring a bit more to maintain them but nothing silly where its an absolute hassle. Just a thought.

Hello all! First post here and I was wondering if anyone had any useful tips for finding vehicles? Me and a friend have been alive for about a week now. Despite finding some decent gear, and setting up a small hideout with tents, we have never even caught a glimpse of a vehicle. (other than a hacked police car) I use dayzdb map and we check every vehicle spawn point as we pass. Do they have set spawn points or is the location on that map just a general area? So we decided to make finding a vehicle top priority. Last night we traveled from Cherno to the northeast airstrip checking every vehicle spawn from Cherno to the east coast the whole way there, only to not see a single one. It seems a little odd because there was only like 3 other people on the server at the time. So yeah, just wondering if anyone had any tips. Thank you all for taking the time to read this! Survive on.

Rocket already confirmed that the vehicle count will be raised significantly but it isn't priority #1. In exchange jerry cans and gas stations will be more limited. And yes, private servers with more vehicles have way more players in northern towns. One of the many pros of private servers.

That's the thing, these types of admins don't really care about others or the server. What they care about is themselves. A decent admin wouldn't rage and kick/ban people for looting their camp, that's just how the game goes. Non-admins loot each others camps all the time. People that kick/ban for looting tents or taking vehicles are just little kids who get mad when someone takes the most smallest of things from them.

As someone that is not a server admin, but who plays the game and checks the forums regularly, the enforcement of both the server rules and anti-hacking seem backward far too often. I see servers that are locked with the same 2-10 players (clan-mates or friends) being the only ones allowed in. I see servers that are locked for hours while the admin's clan goes around re-equipping themselves after their "base" gets raided and their vehicles stolen. I have seen people kicked and banned for raiding said bases, stealing vehicles, or even shooting the admin. These seem to be ok, as they do so on a continuing basis. On the flip-side, I have seen server admins attacked and disciplined for temp-banning unknowns (to give them time to check the logs to find the hacker for a permanent ban) after server-wide hacks/nukes make the server unplayable. Players and admins are both told that they have to provide proof that something wrong has occurred, but whether it is or isn't often doesn't seem to matter. Enforcement on either side appears to be more random than a loot spawn.

Hey Me and a group of friends I also met on the Dayz Forums have become really close but are still looking for New Members. We like you said are not looking for vehicles amazing loots or things like that but are more focused on enjoying the game. If interested join our TeamSpeak (94.168.198.149:9987) or check out our forums ( dayznoobs.forumotion.co.uk ) And BTW i live in the Uk too :D

Vehicles vehicles vehicles, I'm tired of running north only to find one person in stary and maybe only a few people at the NW airfield, players are too clumped up down south in Elektro, why? Because the lack of vehicles, I'm not saying that urals and UAZ's should be spawning everywhere but more vehicles in general add to the excitement of the game and up the pace of things. When I was in a private hive server with 80 vehicles and only 25 people in the server there were people everywhere. Stary, zelenogorsk, NW airfield, not always people with vehicles but you could tell that people wanted to be in those areas. The server had 3 helicopters versus the standard 1, it wasn't uncommon to see helicopters circiling camps and nothing but gunshots ringing out trying to take them down. This really took the population out of the southern towns and made up north hectic. Now every other server is so shy to have vehicles around the map (mostly due to hoarding) which really hinders the spread of people on the map. not that I'm opposed to people having 5 car garages in the middle of the woods, but seriously, if people can get anywhere on the map faster do you think they would really just camp Cherno? TLDR; private hives with more vehicles and less players > Hives with more players and less vehicles

Kleaklejok.. what server do you play on? I'd love to mess up your day by coming to your camp. I do hate players who farm vehicles without using them. Or are you picking the car for what day it is? Tell me what server mate

said it before in another thread a week ago: Fuel would make a decent "currency". Rocket said in an interview he´d like the standalone to feature more vehicles but with chernarus being low on fuel. So with driveable vehicles a luxury (faster travel, safer travel, quicker to loot spawns, simply more convenient), fuel would make sense being some sort of currency. But the standalone certainly won´t impose that on the players. It´s up to everyone of us how to handle trades.

Maximus, don't take credit for what you didn't do, unless of course you are confessing to the use of hacks against us? You seem to have missed the other important parts, like the current state of the tents/vehicles and our members school commitments. Our operations are far from destroyed, in fact they are expanding with the launch our mercenary division and working with The Coalition. You've done nothing.

So after watching videos of OshiSeven, Sacriel, and Squirrel playing DayZ together as a squad, I'd really like to join or create one similar to them. I've looked on many forums, but they just don't have what I'm looking for, most of them are clans who only care about the best loot and vehicles. So if you know those Youtubers, you would know that they play maturely, tactically, and generally have a good time whatever the situation. That's what I'm looking for(: So if you perhaps if you would like to be in a squad with me; I'm from the UK, message me on here, my Steam ID is OllyE3, and my skype is theoctaneeffect. I'm looking for a group of possibly 4/5 but I really don't mind, I'd merely be grateful for a response(: Thanks

Title say's it all, they remove the battleye to hack vehicle back once taken. No reason why I was banned for. abusive admin, (graz) has happened many times (rocket wants people to report abusive admins)

and no..helis return to respawn points lately after server resets. We saved our heli on hotel roof and it was back at respawn point after the next restart. The heli is not working when people save it as other vehicles do

Removing NVGs would be stupid, like 'Regicide' said, playing in the night will become impossible. The batteries on the other hand are a great idea, i have been thinking of that aswell. Just like vehicles need fuel, every electric component in the game should also need batteries. You could even go as far as needing batteries for thermal sights/laser sights, and ofcourse flash lights (attached to weapons)

The ZH clan has had hacked in weapons every time we join in, a few hacked in vehicles on occasion, clan members that exploit and ghost, they have no pbo grass/tress files allowed on the server and use it most of the time, there have been quite a few incidents in which someone in a ZH clan tag have hacked, they've kicked an entire server for no other reason then losing a helicopter, the list goes on. They exploit, they hack, they let it happen in their clan. - CSA Decise
