Yeah what Kerwyn said. About saving vehicles, I'd recommend you only settle down in a server with very rare server restarts, or none at all. Despite the fact I have saved my UAZ several times, on my server's monthly restart I find it about 5m to the left of its previous location (sometimes it ends up inside trees and getting it out is a pain in the neck) and with all the loot inside it reset to the default UAZ loot; smoke grenades, water bottle, tent, 20 AK rounds, 10 SVD rounds. Even though having to stick to one server can seem a nuisance, if vehicles were saved cross-server then there would only be one person/group with a huey in the entire of DayZ. And if they were in the same position in each server, and the person flying it was in one server, then anyone in other servers would see a huey flying without a pilot. Now that'd be a sight.

Agreed. It's up to a point where when you die unexpectedly, your first thought is "f***ing hackers man!", and not "wow that was a good play, nice one man". And that is not good for any game, or mod. I agree, fix the major bugs on the mod, and leave it be or release it to the community. Major meaning tents/vehicles saves and maybe graphic glitches if you can. Leave the new features for the standalone. Enough is enough.

I had to downgrade my server to 1.7.2.4 just so I could save vehicles including the heli. When I was on .5 I couldn't get a single vehicle to save, but ever since the downgrade everything saves like it is supposed to. :)

Actually, we already have the zones: Cherno, Elektro and NWA. What I see as the problem is that it already pays off to go in groups. But still, we need some way to make people more dependent on one another. If there was a limit on how much you could eat, you would be a lot more willing to seek others for a transfusion. A higher chance of unconsciousness would make it more risky to go in alone. It would mean that people would be pretty bad off when they spawn, but then again DayZ is not about fair. Maybe a good availability of signal flares would help people find one another. I think the zombies should represent a significant risk, even against fully decked out players. That would increase the tendency for people everywhere to band together. I would hate taking away the prospect of cold blooded murder and all out betrayal, but right now the zombies are so docile that other players are the real threats. I wonder i it was possible to include crew-served weapons like M2HB or mortars as high level loot. If you need ten slots for the receiver, another five for the barrel and ten again for the mount, you have to have at least three man to operate the weapon. On the other hand, you get enough firepower to level a small town. More vehicles that needed more spare parts would also change the gameplay, as spare parts are heavy. You would be more willing to risk a stranger seeing your truck if the real find was the motor he just helped you carry to get it working.

Bonus Info for the people who always complain about how they never find good gear and vehicles ... There is a GAZ in Vishnoye on this server ... no tires and you need everything else for it ...

I know this has probably all ready been suggested, but how about some extensive vehicle customisation. You could leave new items in industrial areas, like cans of spray paint to change your vehicles colour, sheets of re-enforced metal to bullet-proof it, snow plows to attach to the front and make mowing through zombies less dangerous... Just to make it a little more interesting. Perhaps you could add a new tool like a blowtorch for the equipment slot that the player would have to find before he could add stuff to the vehicles. You could even add loud speakers to the top that would play a selection of music like AC/DC and could be triggered on and off by the driver, which would attract every zombie within a kilometre radius, but would also allow new players or other survivors to easily find you and seek shelter with you... or lure them into a trap. Or you could just drive around playing 'Highway to Hell' for shits n giggles.

I rolled my server back to 1.7.2.4 just so I can have my camp set up with my friends. and finally be able to save my vehicles. The only downside so far is there aren't too many people playing that patch, most of the servers I see have no more than 12 people at a time.

i'd much rather have .4 than this .5 piece of shite! but really though im not playing this game again until tents and vehicles work

1.7.2.5 Hero/Bandits rolling back to 1.7.2.4 are very often invisible, that's a pretty big downside. My regular server is currently switching to Vilayer Hive, we tried out a few others using it, no more issues with yellow/red chain, no more delay with loot spawning, tents/vehicles save properly, can switch between Cherno and Lingor, seems a lot of servers are switching over to this hive, think I read 50 servers are connected to it now and they only started offering it this week I believe?

Simple solution, fix tents, fix vehicles, Wipe hive, Wipe servers. Done. This is very unlikely to happen anytime soon but meh. No more, every crazy sniper has an AS50/M107. However I will say this, you don't want to be shot by a 50. cal? Play at night. Guess what guns do not work with NVG. Snipers do not need a to be turned into NERF guns. They need to be rarer, and the ammo needs to be rarer. Due to the mod item storage being broken at the moment, they are not rare. There are so many gameplay issues that would be taken care of if they fixed the damn tents and vehicles. I personally like snipers, it is such a justified feeling of awesome whenever you sneak up on one and end his existence. The problem is that due to duping he simply runs to his tent, and goes out again within 60 minutes. But that is besides the point.

It couldn't have been that simple. He was kicked from the server for doing one of those events. Someone said to me after I banned him, that they were flying the helicopter. The server didn't restart from when after I banned him. There is no possible way for him to crash it, or him to even have the helicopter. When I got to my base, every vehicle was blown up. Others on the server also complained about their vehicles were blown up.

Denalb US1 Chicago (v1.7.2.5/build 96061) [Private Hive|Veteran|CH:ON|3DP:ON] Only Daytime - Hosted by Denalb With all of the craziness that 1.7.2.5 and scripting has brought, I want to give everyone a second option. I created a 50 player server using a private hive for anyone to play on. Remember, with a private hive, your character will not save to other servers. You will be forced to play on my server if you want to play the same character you create on my server. Some advantages to this are: No server hopping/ghosting. Local bans to cheaters/scripters without the need to justify on the DayZ forums. Always Daytime so nightvision goggles/gamma aren't required for US players who play at night. More vehicles! I've added plenty of vehicles to share including two helicopters for some nice air battles. Vehicles and Tents save! Thats right. Inventories, locations, you name it, it saves. Two choppers, 1 SUV, and about 50 other vehicles to find and use! I created new random spawns for most vehicles. If a vehicle is deemed out of bounds/is destroyed on a server restart, the vehicle will be reset back to its original spawn point. Less lag/desync as the hive is local to my server and not being flooded by thousands of servers. New spawn locations on the east coast to help newcomers explore the northeast part of the map. Moved the southwest spawns further east to help new spawns get to the major cities without running for 45 minutes. *Future Update*Out of bounds prevention. Players/Vehicles will die/explode when crossing over to out of bounds. This will also help those who may spawn out there. *Possible Update in the Future* Alt+F4 prevention. If I see enough requests for it, I am also willing to modifiy your starting equipment if it isn't outrageous. (I was thinking about giving players some food/water and a hatchet). I may also provide a teamspeak server if I get enough requests for it. So come try it out. It will be up 24/7. It will be fast loading with minimal lag. I will also be able to admin it a lot better due to some extra protection I have installed for script kiddies and hackers. Denalb US1 Chicago (v1.7.2.5/build 96061) [Private Hive|Veteran|CH:ON|3DP:ON] Only Daytime - Hosted by Denalb I've made a twitter account and a gtalk account so you can contact me if needed. I will also post updates to the server status/upgrades. Twitter: @DenalbHive GTalk: [email protected] E-mail: [email protected] Feel free to contacts me with questions/issues/comments.

I would vote, but due to un-finished product or atleast updated to work correctly and better then it does turns me away. Don't get me wrong I love the game but it needs worked on to the stand-alone is a huge deal but the mod needs attention as well. Graphics need fixed, saving of tents, inventory, vehicles the list could go on for hours.....Release a working mod and I will vote. Till then good luck!

HI there! :) Last night the 29/8 at 20:00 paris time me and my friend were driving around with a UAZ and ATV. Suddenly the server we were playing on - Norway 11 Hosted by Sons Of Anarchy - disconnected us (probably a rs) without a warning, so we lost the vehicles. Now we're stranded without food, water and heatpacks. With other words, we're good as dead without any help. Would be really sad if we'd loose everything now. So please, is there anyone out there who can help us out? Or know some of the admins on the Norway 11 server? Sincerely humaN

We're not on right now. My buddy is sleeping and the main thing is, that we want our vehicles back. :/

Hey everyone, my IGN is chiah obviously. Anyways me and my buddies have been playing Dayz for the past few days on one life. We have put around 20 hours into these accounts and they're lives where all ended tragically by some stupid stupid incident. Basically we were ghillie suit heros and we just started playing this decent server with 10 to 20 people on at all times. Well... we really did score. Why on the server we found a AS50, and 3 Vehicles and a boat! Thats crazy right? Well we decided hmm we should go make a camp. We take off on the vehicles, me having a off road pickup, one of my friends having a UAZ, and my last friend have a van. We started driving... We reach this tiny town and out pops 3 players with only lee enfields? I try to run them over but they like get a direct head shot on me and all my friends... It was probably the worst Dayz experience i have ever had... Haha What would you guys do if this happened to you?

Where: DE 597. Hosted by Stylezz-wow.de and Sneedle. What: Saw a chopper flying around yesterday on this server, started hunting for it. Found an atv and drove along the debug line until I found a camp at grid 145,002. It contained 1 chopper, 1 v3s, 1 car and 1 tractor. It was a parking lot setup, with at least 40 sandbags, wire, and tanktraps EACH. A massive amount of items to start with there I believe. I stole the chopper, picked up a friend and parked it 3 km away so we could go back and wait for them to log in. We make it about 1 km away from the chopper before we see it flying back over our heads towards the camp, while the admin ([Wookie] Sneedle) taunts on global chat, telling us to "move faster" because he didn't want to wait to kill us. We run 2 more km to the camp, hear the chopper start, it takes off and begins to fire at us. I die while my partner shoots it down, but then he bleeds out from getting shot and passing out. I think nothing yet besides they found the chopper awfully fast, so I decide to head back north. I arrive at their camp again and decide to check the loot in the V3S and lo and behold find a G36K and a silenced PDW, with not much else. Seemed to be fishy vehicles for sure, as the car and tractor had no equipment on them at ALL while the truck had minimal stuff besides these illegitimate weapons. I moved the truck and took screenshots of the inventory and server name. They are below. I believe he found the chopper through use of admin logs, but of course it is hard to prove something like that. The fact that the chopper pilot knew to took off right as we were cresting the hill to their camp led me to believe they knew our position before they could even see us. Who knows. My time zone is EST (-4 GMT I believe) and the server appears as GMT +2 if it matters. And for those wondering, I had a friend gear me up at a camp of ours before I decided to go back on their server. http://imgur.com/a/ABqaP

I want you to stay on topic because you are notorious for claiming victory about things that are not relevant to the topic at hand. I thought it was clear. I never stated that what I said was always on topic initially, but I can guarantee you that I haven't said anything further on it. 1. And I never disputed this (show me where I have, please.) I simply stated that having less vehicles leads to less losses. 2. His losses would not have been worse. He would've spent less time tediously gathering parts only to lose all that effort. Let's say that he put 2 hours into repairing a jeepand he has ten of them. Let's say he loses eight. That means he spent twenty hours getting parts and sixteen hours were thrown away because those vehicles are now gone. Assuming that he has three other friends to play with, that means he needs a grand total of ten one jeep to transport everyone, but of course backups are needed to he has an additional three in reserve. So what if he loses those three? He only loses six hours. This is ten hours less than the hours lost if he lost 8 out of ten, which means he can spend ten hours replacing those vehicles lost...which only takes about 6 hours if he replaces all three. Therefore, he loses four hours less than he normally would by having less vehicles (but only if we assume that the OP won't replace the 8 missing vehicles. If he does replace the vehicles, then the OP would take an even smaller loss by replacing those vehicles.) 3. I've already addressed that your claim was wrong (if you had read my posts you'd know this), but I really want you to admit that you were wrong. I have not contested your quote, only that you have not proven that I am jealous nor admitted to being wrong. I hope that making it stand out helps. In your third statement, you only provided evidence that you acknowledged the possibility of being wrong. However, you have yet to admit to being wrong about that claim- I urge that you prove that I am jealous or admit that your assumption is baseless and incorrect. You have shown zero evidence that I am jealous, and therefore I can continue pressing this point until you prove your point or retract it.

The way I see it the M107 and as50 should be removed from the mod, there are no requirements for anti-material rifles since all vehicles in DayZ are easily disabled by shooting out wheels/the driver. There is absolutely no requirement for sniper rifles that insta-kill with extremity shots, they're just a crutch for bad snipers who can't compensate for range and bullet drop; just aim centre of mass and fire for a guaranteed kill no matter where you hit them. Skilled marksmen use the regular rifles. wannabees who upload "420 no scope sick frag" videos on youtube use the as50.

I've found so much high end gear on bodies in and around Cherno. I love getting my adrenaline pumping running through Cherno dodging all the m107 rounds fired from ~800m out. Or the idiots with pistols trying to kill you. Or vehicles trolling the streets honking. It's rarely boring.

So... yesterday i finally set up my server on the hive and spent about 8 hours nolifing it until i went to bed. Me and a few friends found a Ural Civilian, a motorbike, and a bus plus a load of equipment so we were happy. The server is set to restart every day at 8am GMT so it had restarted since we last played, i have just joined it though and the Ural Civilian has gone and a bicycle has been put in its place! The motorbike hasn't been touched and i assume the bus hasn't either (crashed it near camp without a wheel). There has been a few players join since we quit so i'm thinking, is a cheater trolling us? Did they steal our truck and replace it or is it just a bug on the hive? I don't think anybody would stumble across our camp since its a long way from any town and very well hidden so unless you know where it is, you'd have to locate the vehicles using a cheat and find it that way. Me and my friends are a bit pissed since that truck was pretty much fully loaded with some decent stuff, now we need to go find it all again :(

havent had any luck finding vehicles, but i did manage to run towards a downramp (on the second floor) of a barn and instead of going down the ramp i proceeded to jump clean off the edge and fall to my ultimate demise.. when i was still in midair, i was already yelling at my puter screen cuz i knew what was coming.. GRRR !!!!

If you watch IGNs newest stream being an interview with Rocket, basically he was already asked this sort of a question and he said that there will be some customization for vehicles.

I believe rocket already said something along the lines of more vehicle customization when it comes to standalone. We may end up seeing a 'portion', or at least a set standard, as to what can be done with vehicles. Please don't quote me on whether it will actually happen or not; I just remember hearing him talk about adding more features to vehicles then what is currently in the system.

There was a thread a few weeks ago about a clan searching for the chopper on their server and finding it underwater. I've been searching for it, but I can't remember the title. It was very detailed, but the jist of it was possibly removing the server from the hive, and recreating it. Essentially it would be a server wipe, with all tents deleted and vehicles respawned to default. Think of it as changing the server ID or something along those lines. I'm not too familiar with how DayZ servers work, so I can't be precise-sorry. If you can find the thread it would be a great help to you in figuring out the next course of action. Blowing it up doesn't do a damn thing. It was a DE sever thread, but it was written in fairly good English. The posts were long and very detailed, and I recommend trying to find it- Sorry i can't be much help.
