we had another productive night, fixing vehicles and looting along the coast. thanks to all the people, new and old, who pitched in! if you're looking for a fun time, come check out ]TPG[ and US106 (NJ3)!

New server? I always see those servers titled, "Testing Server *Do Not Join*" and I think to myself... Clan hoarding vehicles + setting up base much? You wouldn't find all those vehicles in almost every server that has been around for awhile.

The way to keep the kids with duped as50s from sniping noobs for awhile would be to eliminate duping(which cannot be done) and a full wipe of all gear/tents/vehicles so it would take people a few days/weeks to get enough to do it again. I remember the good old days when the only snipers you worried about were the guys who had a cz since it was highly unlikely to find anyone with an m107(it also took your backpack). The QQ led to the lowered spawn rate of czs.

Saw the Kickstarter video for the Oculus Rift after reading about it on the Q&A list on forums. Thought it was cool, and that it would probably make my TrackIR redundant if it worked well enough. So I was wondering how many people play DayZ currently using TrackIR. I find it great for indoors, situational awareness outdoors, keeping track of team-mates when moving in groups through forests (can turn my head to look at my team-mates to see where they are whilst I continue running), and especially handy when flying choppers or driving vehicles (can look into turns much easier, and look behind me easily when I have to reverse). I'm so used to using my TrackIR now that if I hear something outside my FOV I can instantly turn my head to look at it. In games that don't support TrackIR (like 99% of the games out there), I often find myself turning my head trying to look around just purely out of habit.

Currently, bases are just a tent hidden or glitched into the terrain. I believe that deploying razor wire as a perimeter should not be removable by other players as long as they repair the razor wire every few days. That means that wire can be used for bases but can be destroyed by satchels and is removable in cities. but if maintained you can create actual bases and enclose your vehicles and items

Confirmation of Admin abusing and using scripts on US1284 - I ran to the "admin" base at Malinovka mountain (~77, ~107) and was immediately banned. The admin was "Cort" I believe. Base had a few vehicles I could see - UAS, Motorcycle, helicopter, and Ural. Confirmed - admin is Cort that is abusing.

Simple69, I have been playing on your server for the past month or so now, I have come across a few hacked in vehicles as well as some weapons. I have a screenshot from when the thunderdome was last hacked into the server with the date and time, it may aid you in finding out who has been fucking with the server. It happened often for about a week or so in the past, but hasn't happened since. Althought today one of my clan mates told me over teamspeak that spawned in about 25 vehicles in the same spot near cherno, he may know who had done it as a few people where kicked at the time it happened for script restrictions. I'll get that screenshot to you and see if he calls the userhandle.

Because tents and vehicles was not saving on 2.5 so we reverted back to 2.4 until the next patch 1.7.3 is released

Although this guy's math is probably spot on, the main problem is the vast amount of duplication and recirculation of higher grade military equipment. Temporary solution: Find a quality private hive and make it your home. Just playing a couple of hours on numerous standard hive servers, you would encounter numerous duped items i.e. Rangefinder, M240. Most of which was simply looted off another players corpse who looted it from another player's corpse etc. etc. The gear is seldom left alone or destroyed so it just becomes rampant in circulation. Main reason I suggest a private hive first(aside from the obvious performance/control/security advantages), but it slices that circulation rate considerably, and players are given the opportunity to farm it for themselves on a relatively even playing field. For instance, I play on Rinaun's server circuit(HIGHLY RECOMMENDED). This guy has multiple unbiased admins as well as himself to monitor any abuse/combat logging/spawning/ghosting/scripting, you name it. Cycling out both barracks early this morning and some time this afternoon I came across Rangefinders, NVGs, an M240, Mk 48, among other valuable items, some of which I never even knew spawned in the barracks, such as NVGs. It just takes time and patience, because i certainly ransacked through A LOT of garbage to find those items. RNG is rng, that's what it is, but the rewards are grand for those with patience, strategy AND a good environment to execute both. We could use more people on this Hive, come join us. over 80+ active vehicles and rivalrys/alliances forming left and right facilitated by a hosted teamspeak server. Sorry for the quasi hijack, but this is about the best temporary solution I can find for your current dilemmas with spawn rates and their proportional value weight to you as a player.

Just found my first vehicle ever after about 50 hours or so of gameplay. Saved a few times before I left. Gone when I am back. I hate that we cant even get a standard, "We are aware of the issue and trying to fix it", statement. Just, nothing. Now everytime I login my tents have random inventories and vehicles just disappear. I think im just going to stop playing for while because there is no indication this is even being worked on and any progress I make is lost.

Ecologically clean electric cars are friendly transport for our cities. Driving hybrid cars and electric vehicles will save our money on gas.

Completely agree. I dont even want to play anymore because I cant save shit in tents or vehicles. Im not having to big of an issue with the graphical glitches but being able to save is such a big deal in the game. You think these tools would fix the simple issues and then move on to the standalone. Get the game working properly then move on.

I looked where www.dayzdb.com told me, and then I went more NW before i made this post to make sure.Only place i've ever found an ATV was Pik Kozlova. I don't get why people get offended when others server hop. Most likely most of the vehicles are taken. So why does it bother you when people look for them? Should we just go all over the map following the debug line and hope people put them there? Yes let's spend more time doing that..Sure is fun.

So i logged in and my truck/motorcycle and all the gear in them (A LOT of good stuff) were completely gone. I had all my gear on me though, which pretty much is everything you can get. Had the same player now for days. I log into one sever to check some tents, stuff is there. Keep getting kicked because battleye client (however you spell it) wont load. Never failed before. so i did the sensible thing, updated my Arma2 to the new 96061 version using dayzcommander. Goes quick, maybe 10 seconds, its all done. click on a server, spawn on coast with NOTHING even in my inventory. completely bare player now except my gillie suit. same on all servers i have favorited. i revert back to the 95883 version that most servers are still using, same thing. now im 100% empty, no vehicles, and im on the coast (was far out in the woods). anyone else get this from doing the update? was fine until i updated my god damn game...stupid me for wanting to be updating when updates happen and forgetting the servers usually fail to be compliant on a regular basis.

Did you downgrade the hive files as well? Or just the dayz files? I downgraded both the hive files and dayz files as they used to be on 1.7.2.4 and I have 0% problems of vehicles not getting saved etc. What I don't understand though is why the number of 1.7.2.5 servers are increasing every day when the patch is such a fail. 1.7.2.4 should be the increasing one and 1.7.2.5 decreasing. Doesn't people notice all the new problems or what?

Hi all, Been playing DayZ for a few months now and I wanted to share an idea I had. Currently there are a few agricultural vehicles in the game such as the Tractor which offer very limited features in terms of mobility. Thinking of more end-game ideas I would suggest implementing a plowing system for DayZ where players with the Tractor where players could mark out fresh fields. Then rare item spawns could be packets of seeds that players would need to collect and sow into these freshly plowed fields. Then every 2-3 days players would have to log back into their server to harvest the crops, such as fruit, which they could use instead of other food options. Empty cans could be used to store the fruit/vegetables for later use. Like tents if a different player found the crops then they could in fact steal them creating other resources that could be fought over, perhaps lowering the spawn rate of tins of foods in general buildings (I mean honestly who likes baked beans anyway!) Finally you could use the dogs that are going to be implemented in 1.7.3 to guard your crops. Even rarer drops could be seeds or cuttings mutated by the infection that created the zombie plague in the first place. This could result in special types of plants that could attack other players trying to steal your crops, or even have random events where waves of zombies attack your harvest and you and your dog/defense plants have to fight it off. Finally the status of your personal crops could be linked to the website and even have the option for teams of players to work together to maintain an entire farm/field of crops, sharing updates via social media such as Facebook. Thanks for reading!

We are experiencing problems with tents and vehicles saving items like most people using 1.7.2.5. It seems like after every server restart the items from the original save of a tent are there again and anything new is gone. So we have just been setting up new tents whenever we want to save new items that we find and we flatten any tents we don't need anymore.

It's practically un-fucking playable atm since they won't/can't fix the game breaking bugs like tents/vehicles/login death/login teleport etc.

for the last three days, every single attempt to make a camp with vehicles have failed for me. Every time a server goes down all vehicles are reset. This never happened before the god damn patch.

Been playing this game for a month or so with two people that i met on the game. They told me to go on this server and while i was connecting they told me they killed the server admin yesterday which i found funny. So connect and got kicked first.. i tried again and got ingame. I died because i only had 7k blood. I spawned in kamenka and started running towards Balota. I got to Komarovo with about 20 Zombies behind me.... and then BAM! i got banned. Normally i wouldn't care because there are loads of servers i can play on with the two people i met... but they had a car, two ATV's and some good gear. They had to save the vehicles and we switched servers. To be honest I still don't care but i would like to know why i got banned. Thanks.

Why dont you guys all just stop replying to this thread? I mean you have said all you can about the new update. The graphical bugs are back and/or gone for people. The humanity system has bugs. Tents and vehicles don't save properly. If rocket refuses to post or acknowledge any of you guys reporting bugs, next time he releases a "test" patch just dont test it out or give you feedback to it.

Anyone know anyway possible to find a players coords in any of the log files? I had a hacker come online last night and totally destroy all vehicles and took everything out of every tent in game and logged out and took them to his home server and kept coming back to our server filling his INV up and going back to his server. Since I have been trying to get more players and been advertising a lot on the forums and made a public teamspeak about my server he sent me a message on the forums and told me to get in touch with him on steam. I checked steam and he had me added as a friend so I talked to him a bit and he said he just wanted to fuck us over and he stole everything off our server and took our helichopper and hid it. So I was wondering if there was anyway to track it down.

Hello guys n gals! The [TB] clan in the above server would like to extend a friendly challenge to all players to visit us for some pVp. Many thanks for reading and we hope to see you soon! :) Server ip address is 119.229.249.92 (port 2332) if you cannot find it listed. We are running 1.7.2.4 NOT 2.5 due to issues with vehicles not saving. You can easily backroll your DayZ version using DayZ Commander.

Hey, we were definitely playing with you Aleksandr - killed you a few times in Elektro - was quite fun! Shortly after everyone on the server was teleported into the air and died upon impact. Along with him teleporting users he was also making himself invisible and shooting a few people in remote locations. A brief snippet from the remoteexec.log 21.08.2012 18:34:49: Zen (98.195.228.250:2344) c1c0ff7be67fba89a1d6d4ec29fe6c98 - #0 "if (isnil ("bInvisibleOn")) then {objMYPlayer hideObject true;};" Sorry about your loss on the server, it happens. I totally agree - the clan that plays on this server doesn't hoard EVERY vehicle - just a few cars and an atv. It's no fun when there's no risk/reward by having every vehicle/weapon. The server US 1023 is NEVER locked for any type of "testing". It does however restart every 12 hours (used to be every 6) via an automated script. It's much more challenging to have other people driving around in vehicles/heli's.
