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.

At the moment the only way I'm aware of is murdering a survivor. I'm a bandit but not an indiscriminate psychopath, by that I mean I don't just murder anything that moves (that's not the definition of bandit), but I'm gonna have the best gear in a 'legit' way and if that means killing well equipped players or raiding camps then I'm on it. At the moment gaining humanity is pretty easy, even as a bandit you are going to give other bandits transfusions and humanity goes up by itself quite quickly. This means to stay a bandit (keep from 'yoyo morphing') you have to kill often, which is psycho behavior, not criminal. I'm an outlaw like Salvatore Giuliano, not Dexter the monster. -- So do you have any suggestions for more ways to gain negative humanity? I understand the majority of ideas will be beyond the scope of the mod currently, but may with the stand alone become possible. Here's a few to start with. Theft - This could range from 'pick pocketing' to tent raids. Not so easy to implement yet but definitely seems plausible in the future. Vandalism - Destroying vehicles, buildings, camps. Shooting someone - Harming someone lowers your humanity, if you've ever had to shoot or stab someone it doesn't matter how noble your reason, you know it lowered your humanity ("The quality or condition of being human; human nature.") for a while. Would also account for when you 'train' someone, shoot them in the leg and leave them to be eaten, and other acts of leg breaking trollery. Lack of interaction - With the the addition of dogs it would be interesting to consider the possibility of needing companionship, can you stay a compassionate human being by just totally avoiding any and everything, or would that actually grind away at your humanity rather than nurture it. Could be you need to be around other players or at least have a dog so as not to lose your humanity rather than gain it (just throwing suggestions out there).

Looking for 2 players rolling together to join 2 more of a like ( will accept 1 person with experience + Maturity ). Were trying to do a 4 man team, but 3 is better then 2. I wont lie, we are shoot on site ( Dont trust anybody ). We have tried clans for weeks, but it never worked out. What i can tell you honestly about us...... 1) We dont have camp sites ( to paranoid atm ) 2) We have no vehicles ( but do find them alot ) 3) We join random servers 4) We do NOT hack ( whats the point in playing if you get all the end-game gearing from a hack? Sure its cool, but not our style....sorry ) 5) We have owned every (very rare item )....We are not new to the game 6) We are a US based player ( we are brothers and live together and share the same computer room...... yep, makes things easier : ) We are a tactical team, we tend to play on low level servers ( 10 people or less, due to our size ). We are on teamspeak, and if anyone is interested let me know. Send me a Message or reply to the post. Must have's...... - working Mic - TS3 - Maturity is a must, Will not tolerate people who just spam in TS thinking ( they have jokes )......" Your mom jokes.....Or your girlfriend said the same thing" after every phrase is not funny..... Maybe during certain comments, but if am hearing it every 2 minutes then guess what.....you get the point We live by 2 rules.....Dont Trust Anybody, and Dont Get Attached To Your Gear. Reply or Message me if interested. FYI, you will be playing with 30 yr old kids :)

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!

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

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)

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

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.

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

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 ........

maybe i missed it, did the devs mention anything regarding cheaters in the stand-alone ? the current game in the alpha is unplayable... every, and i mean EVERY server i play on, i meet one or several cheater who kills me or my group. this happens sometimes after some minutes, or after some hours, but in every case we get killed by cheaters. they instakill us, teleport to us and use godmode so we cant kill them, or use other shitty hacks. so, will the blatant hacking/scripting be stopped ? i heard that it wont be possible to script in weapons and vehicles, but what about the regular cheats like teleport and godmode ? are the devs even aware of the horrible state of this game ? are they going to implement effective ant-hack tools ? also i meet cheaters on private hives.. doesnt make a difference... battleeye is a useless piece of software... are they going to abandon it for a better tool ? questions over questions ( and some crying i know ) :D

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 ^__^

As you guys probably find annoying that every vehicle on a server is take hidden and in other words practically none exsistant. And really the only way to find these vehicles unless you are lucky is with a helicopter. I've been playing day z for a while now about 2 months and i just found my first car. So i believe that all the hidden vehicles and fortifications ie razor wire and sandbags need to be removed every once in a while for a fresh start. So what i suggest (A logical reason) is that every month or so (or whenever the server feels like it) there is a server reset Ie everything player placed/ hidden is removed. And it can be justified by a nuke. Ie just a really bright light Now of course there will be a warning over the radio 5 mins prior so there is plenty of time to log out. Just for all those people going on about all your stuff disappearing is just unrealistic etc etc. Sometimes starting fresh is more fun. Unless servers already do that. Which to my knowledge they do not

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 :)

What is being done to retain players? Aug 28th 1,151,018 Unique Players 122,188 Players in last 24 hours (as of this post) 10.6% of the people who have signed up to play Aug 16th 1,083,127 Unique Players 154,123 Players in last 24 hours 14% of the people who have signed up to play Aug 10th 1,033,988 Unique Players 170,378 Players in last 24 hours 16% of the people who have signed up to play Surely this is not all due to Hackers and the announcement of a standalone. Are people just getting bored with running around avoiding Zombies and Bandits, looking for Loot and Vehicles? Is there something more that can be added to the mod to diversify the game play?

LOL, the story of my DayZ lives. I now just don't play it for a week at a time. Once a week I get the craving to get back into it... and I have to say that there is a serene beauty to when a server starts turning to night and the stars are coming out. I love that part of it. But, really, what else is there to draw us back to re-live the same fate over and over again? I tried random killings / ambushes in major cities, and it made me feel like a madman in real life. I have no doubt that I could survive a very long time with a canteen, matches, knife and hatchet to feed myself, so that goal or drive is gone. I'm not sure, then, what's left aside from making others miserable by stealing their vehicles and/or supplies (only to have them stolen from me when I go to sleep). Coupled with all of that, the hacks to die and respawn back at the shore without anything means only the crazy or people living in some illusion would continue to treat this as a game worthy enough to log into night after night once they've played it for a week or so.

Took us 5 hours trying to find car parts for the ural in skalka, took us about the same with the helicopter in skalisty to fully repair it. An additional few hours trying to refuel it. Not to mention many other vehicles spawn in the middle of nowhere and take hours to fully repair and refuel. And after all that hard work, we loose the vehicles in a week or so. It will never happen, ever.

I think some of it has to do with the issues we've had recently (tents, graphical glitches, scripters). Schools also been gearing up. Vacations just before school. But I think another overlooked but important factor is private servers. Being that they're seemingly becoming more and more popular especially with the loosening of restrictions on talking about them I think more players have shifted that way. Heck the group I play with which had 25 or so players and those of us still playing moved to a private hive to avoid the issues we were having on the public ones. And one of the guys running it fixed tents and vehicles ontop of things and is working on more fixes and tweaks. Our servers still growing, and I miss some of the higher pop stuff, but so far we've had two scripters, both of which were caught and dealt with swiftly, we've got working tents and vehicles, we've got our own little faction war with people claiming territory, a guy working on trying to fix some of the bugs...I mean? The only incentive I've got to get on the public servers is the really high pop ones and even then they're typically targets so why bother? And then you've got Lingor island...which is its own beast. So I think with those things becoming more popular people, plus the other factors, people are moving away from the public hive...
