Probably a scripter but it sounds like he did not have God mode on because he fell. If that happens again make sure to shoot him after he falls to finish him off, he might have just gone unconscious and then logged off to die on a low population server so he could retrieve gear. The car thing is weird because even if you destroy the vehicle you will see a smoking shell of the car, but vehicles are buggy so it might have just been a glitch.

I disagree with this suggestion. There are far more interesting things to develop than put more stuff on the map to randomly kill players who got a vehicle (seriously, I never saw anyone driving a vehicle, despite I have one myself hidden somewhere in the servers mass, that I use as a tent). Maybe some stuff to blow the wheels and lock the car down, but anti tank mines? Seriously, why would a survivor want to destroy other people vehicles? Would you do that in a zombie apocalypse? Go play Arma, Battlefield or whatever games has mines for a righteous purpose. Not a zombie apocalypse game.

Hello, I am a decent DayZ player and I am looking for some teammates, it doesen't matter what gear you have. :rolleyes: We comm trough Teamspeak. As we grow bigger we will get some vehicles and a nice camp. I also need to mount a rescue mission because my friend is stranded on devils castle. If you want to teamup with me, Contact me on steam; 'crazy_nelis' Thank you ;3

As of 1.7.2.5 Any vehicle/tent will not save that is a new spawn. Previous vehicles/tents will revert back to there last save from 1.7.2.4 after a restart/shut down. This is a know hive problem with connections to a 1.7.2.5 running server. It has been documented and in the bug section of the forums. It seems your vehicle was one that was a fresh spawn after the server updated to 1.7.2.5 I recommend if you are trying to find a regular server to call home. To gather gear and store it. Rollback to 1.7.2.4 and find a server running it.

I was at the gamescom and talked to Matt Lightfoot. Thanks for the small talk with you Matt. I enjoyed it. Good boy :) He told me there will be an update after the guys coming back from the gamescom. They had the new version, 1.7.3 i think, at theire stand for testing. This version still had the graphic glitches. There is nothing to find on the forums about a new release or a hotfix. Rocket seems to have time for developing on the standalone and give a mass of interviews. But he, or any other member of the dev-team, do not have the 5 min. to make a statement to the current state of the mod and what will happen now with it. 1.7.2.5 is unplayable because of vehicle and tents not storing there inventory. Vehicles are not spawning or reseting after a server restart. Player skins changing sometimes and let you lose your stuff. Zombies aggroing from miles away even if you prone. Items where duped from 1.7.2.4 saves in vehicles and tents and you can´t overwrite them. And so on.... Battleye working hard on there anti-cheat-engine and release updates frequently. And they fix bugs immediatly as we seen last night or a few days ago. This mentality is missing right now from the dev´s. Before 1.7.2 comes out, your update frequency was very good and you where present in the forums. But now all is going quiter here from the dev´s. There are just a few moderators that are working with dangerous half knowledge. Sorry for that mods, but it isn´t really your fault i think. Rocket and other Dev´s. Please let us know what you plan to do with the mod right now. Do we get an update or hotfix? Will you let the mod die? Thanks in advance Polli

I can see why people would want to walk away at this point. This mod is following absolutely no development structure, it's simply a case of Rocket throwing in random stuff to see what happens. There are currently a myriad of issues that could cause you to lose all your items, vehicles, tents etc. Worst case scenario? Simply logging on to a server could kill you and respawn you outside the map. Over the last few days myself and some friends have invested 2-3 hours per evening trying to aquire tents, items and just ONE vehicle to set up a base camp on a server we want to call home. Thanks to the issues created with 1.7.2.5 all that effort was lost when the server admin decided to make an unanounced server restart. The mod is currently so buggy that almost ANY player action can result in death. Open a door? death. Climb a ladder? death. Vault a fence? Death. Walk onto a rock? Death. Log into a server? Death. These are key issues that need to be addressed. Honestly, who gives a flying fuck about adding in dogs when there are all these issues at hand? It's probably just going to be another game mechanic that kills me or at least breaks my legs anyway. I'm hoping with Rocket being employed by Bohemia Interactive, the standalone will follow a more professional development structure. I'd personally be quite happy if all work on this mod stopped today, if it would be beneficial to the development of the standalone.

I havent seen a hacker to date.. Been a little over a month and a half since I started playing. I completely agree that this game has many bugs that should be dealt with immediately, but seeing how in a few months the standalone will be out I cant really see why he would continue to devote as much time and effort into something that isnt going to generate anymore income for BI. I honestly can only think of one bug that is left in this game that really has a negative effect on my game play and that is the tents and vehicles not saving equipment. If they can fix this one bug I am sure this game will be just as enjoyable as it was two weeks ago.

I think it would be really cool to add Vehicle armour plating to the game, This would entail using scrap metal to cover up the windows so that they would not be able to be shot through (obviously not to the front windows), so for instance you could fully repair a GAZ but someone can shoot through the windows and kill you, if you choose to add scrap metal to windows most guns cannot shoot through it (the ones that can probably being the M107 and the AS50) meaning you could survive longer, but if there had to be a minus, perhaps add a feature where the added weight would make the vehicle slower, And i would say that these upgrades can only be done to the following vehicles: GAZ, Military Off road, Bus, Off road pickup truck, Old hatchback, Pickup truck, S1203 van, Skoda, Tractor, UAZ, Ural Civilian and the V3S Civilian. I would like to know what others think about this so please comment below :3 Kenny.

DE 905 is run by [MGO] Last night me and a friend had hid two vehicles on a peak near Pobeda dam, And we noticed several flat tents where we parked our trucks. This morning me and my friend logged in and saw a death message. One of the MGO dudes was killed. With out notice we got "session lost" and the server was restarted. When we logged in again, the tents were erect and full of loot. We filled our truck and GTFO. Went to Gorka. Hid the truck and started looking for spare parts. Then a Bus went through the town, and someone stole our truck. I fired on both the bus and truck, and after they were safe behind a hill, Every one without the [MGO] tag where kicked of the server.

We are ALWAYS looking for both vehicles to get to patients, even bicycles or boats. What we would prefer? Tractors, vans and UAZs and tents FILLED with parts. If you do happen to fix up a car or find a bike, hide them and a send a PM to any of the TMW medics or go into the TMW TeamSpeak and wait for someone to talk to you.

33-50% of the game is currently disabled due to issues that popped up with version 1.7.2.5. Can't save items to tents and can't save vehicles. In effect you can run around, collect stuff on your player, kill zombie and other players but forget about creating a camp for your group or acquiring vehicles......except for short term use. Most of our community has quit playing because the update killed a lot of the objectives of the game. I have to wonder if they are going to fix these issues or if they have sidelined mod development in favor of working on the standalone game. Maybe they are going to leave the game handicapped like this for now.

I don't know about vehicles, but tents on the new patch are saving items just fine. I just tested it with a brand new tent. 1. Pitch tent. 2. Place item(s) in tent. 3. Save tent one time. 4. Don't take or add item(s) until after server reboot. (In fact leave the tent alone until after step 5.) 5. Scheduled server reboot. 6. Check tent ... voila, items saved. And remember, tents are not only tied to the main hive and the server they're pitched on, but to the particular body that set up the tent. Only that person can save and/or remove the tent. Once that body dies and you've respawned you've lost all control over that tent. The tent (and all gear inside) continually respawn after every reboot. The only way for a tent to disappear is if no one adds or removes an item for a full week. I'm running the most updated versions, both server and client, with zero tent saving issues. I'll try it on vehicles tonight and see what happens, but after everything I've read about vehicle glitches I don't have a clue how that will work out.

Tents and Vehicles are not saving with the current Hive/Dayz version. It's pretty annoying, but yeah...until the next update not much we can do. We've lost about 4 camps of gear now and numerous vehicles, helis...

Those stats are way off, I've seen over three different UAZs in single servers. Average amount of vehicles per server is 20-30.

Hey Guys, Thanks for checking out this post, I really appreciate it. Below is a video I made within my DayZ Tutorial series. Basically the video shows you all of the vehicles in DayZ, along with what they look like, where they SPAWN and all their STATS! It took a lot of time and effort, really hope you enjoy! If you find the video useful, feel free to SUBSCRIBE for future videos. Thanks Guys!

Hey, do you medics need a hand? I would love to help you guys out, either by getting supplies, fixing up vehicles, or providing over-watch on any healing you do, (Can't stand people that act friendly then back-stab someone). At the moment I don't really have many people to play with, and being a lone wolf is a bit tedious at times. But yeah if you want/need anyone else to give you a hand from time to time, hit me up, and I'll see what I can do.

We've given them feedback already and they know about the issues. But waiting for several weeks for a minor hotfix doesn't cut it. 1.7.2.5 is totally unplayable and 1.7.2.4 is working "okay". So why should we keep 1.7.2.5 and stop playing while waiting for the next patch when we can just rollback and keep having fun while waiting? Worrying about stupid tent? My group fully repaired a helicopter 4 times and several other vehicles as well. And every server restart they keeps going back to their spawning position in a broken state. We wasted too many hours fixing those vehicles and it's all for nothing. 1.7.2.5 is messed up. The tents resets them selves in 1.7.2.4 too. Annoying yes but not a big deal. Vehicles not saving their positions however is a BIG deal. When we went back to 1.7.2.4 everything was perfectly fine regarding the vehicles. The graphics glitches are just as bad in .5 as in .4. The whole forum is already flooded with bug reports so you don't really make any sense. But if you want to keep playing on a buggy version then by all means do so. Even though it doesn't make any sense. <_<

Don't need to server hop to find items but vehicles... I question your claims. There are multiple scenarios that can happen in this game, the server owners can horde all the vehicles and shut down the server whenever one is stolen, a clan can horde them all, teh server might not be fully whitelisted so no vehicles are spawned what so ever.... there are vehicles but they're hidden or waiting to respawn. You might get lucky but out of the 100s of servers I have played I have found two helicopters and a bus, one helicopter was hacked along with the bus and the final helicopter was on skalisty island at that spawn. I've played so many hours of this game looking for vehicles, I always scan the vehicle spawns when I am nearby and I have only found one legitimate vehicle. I've found vast camps with 10-20 tents full of gear beyond your wildest dreams but no vehicles. If I wanted a vehicle badly I would server hop till I found one and set up home and stay on that server. Just like I have done on Lingor I've set up home on one server and on that server I also have a vehicle but that vehicle is barely even hidden, all someone does is need to go off road by about 50m near a large POI and they will find it sitting at the base of a hill, just its good to know vehicles exist on that server and that is why I am staying. Its not even a case of me not finding vehicles myself, the only vehicles I have seen other people using are hacked ones on DayZ and I've been playing a lot for the past 3 months so... Serverhopping is lame for ghosting and in some sense even loot spawns but this is alpha, I've seen countless times where the entire server was void of loot, are you suggesting people should keep looking even though the server is broken indefinitely (until restart)... no you would log and go onto another server but wait you're server hopping! So what defines server hopping? Are you only allowed on one server per night? You need to put the e-honour away, people ghost, hack, glitch, dupe and hop to their hearts content on this game, when the game is in alpha and some of the mechanics aren't polished if someone wants a vehicle are you really asking him to look indefinitely on a server that might not even have any spawned? Pssh

Sup, i know you have already been informed about the Hackers on DayZ but seriously this is getting fucking out of control 5 servers IN A ROW i go on all from diffrent hosters.. Teleported, Nuked, Hacked Vehicles, so many people are just leaving DayZ because of the outrageous amount of hackers.. Like just look up on youtube " Hackers on DayZ " about 3780 results, thats only ones that have been posted.. 5 Squad Mates have quit/taking rests of DayZ and 8 of my friends from school/irl have uninstalled it.. I know its becoming a Stand Alone game but we don't know when its coming out not to mention the new competition with WarZ, fix the game.

I have been looking at the DayZ Wiki and i have been particularly been interested at the vehicle section, but it says that most vehicle's are rare and only one spawns (Link:http://www.dayzwiki.com/wiki/Vehicles), i was wondering if this was true, because having say only 1 GAZ seems very strange as there are 12 ATV's, i would really like to know if these stats are true. Kenny.

yup - 5rnd nato used for destroying vehicles (cars, heli... etc)

I have found 2 atv's , 1 car and my clan found a heli and repaired it but than a server hopper spawned in our camp because the forums are full of rats that are againts teamwork and they steal our gear and vehicles and all our stuff which we usually go to the coast with and give away to starter players. Since than I have just gathered myself and my friends on teamspeak and we just sit outside elektro and cherno and just have a game of who in the group is the best sniper.

I want to know whether there is any bonuses to the 5rnd NATO mags because both are pretty much one shot kills and the 5rnd NATO mags have 5 less bullets do they damage vehicles more or something?

Do the medics need any protection? I know they probably have some already but I will happily keep over-watch for you guys to make sure no-one back-stabs you. And if they do, they will be in worse health than when they started. I need some sort of goal in the game at the moment, so even gathering supplies or fixing vehicles for you guys would make it more interesting. Just send me a message or something, and I will be on later on tonight I hope, so I can give you lot a helping hand.
