Think your wrong sharp. vehicles are not saving new items at all. tents will only save new items in a virgin tent if you will. pitch a tent and it will save the items you put into it. Try to add things after a server restart and nothing new you add will save. Honestly, this is why I am taking a break from Dayz

At the moment, tents won't save the loot inside the tent. What tents do is every time the server resets it deletes all the items added since the latest patch. If loot was inside the tent before the patch, the loot will continue to respawn at server restart. Vehicles however do save your items. I have a bus I've put a few things in about 2 days ago and it's all still there. So at the moment, vehicles are the safest way to store your equipment, but ofc remember, someone steals ur vehicle, not only you lost the vehicle but your stuff also.

Well tents seem to be on and off. You save them, the server restarts they disappear, it restarts again and they come back. Vehicles always just seem stuff up. On NZ 25 me and my clan have repair the same van 3 times in the last week.

Be -VERY- careful joining this clan as the server owner tends to abuse his server powers and some members are known to hack and hunt each other without warning. Their server has mild hacker protection most likely because their members cheat, and it is full of hacked gear which their members are seen using on a regular basis. They also vehicles horde the map. BEWARE of the server and clan. Just a heads up.

THIS. Happened with my group, too. On several of the servers that go shut down, we had vehicles.

Are any hackers being banned quickly? And are the vehicles saving on restart. Might come check it out:) need a new home server anyway.

I could not join the server because "[lot of files]...... are not signed by a key accepted by this server". I have gotten this on other servers too, but some servers work. These servers work for me: de 3, de 4, de sanctuary 60+ vehicles, and some other. I don't have a keys-file right now. I had one earlier but it didn't fix anything.

Here is my top tip. The road that runs north to south in cherno is a high traffic area. Plenty vehicles in cherno. Let some other numpty fix them. Ambush them on the way out of town. I have done this a few times, although once it backfired due to hackers.

No this would be a horrible idea. I like vehicles the way they are, as in my opinion the infinite fuel tanks should remain infinite. Fuel tanks are massive, they would take at least a hundred jerry cans to run out (I'd guess), and since that is so many, it may as well stay infinite. But I think they should lower the abundance of fuel tanks because, in fairness, you can get to any fuel tank from where you are in probably 3-5 minutes.

I like the idea of having more air vehicles in the game which aren't necessarily going to make it too easy to get the best vehicles. The idea of having another helicopter which is only small and likely not suitable for any group full stop, but still being quite rare, is appealing.

Sarcasm aside, you would be fully correct if this was some little dip shit mod operation. However Dayz has taken off full tilt, it gets LOADS of media coverage from video game sites, and the fact that the mod is now becoming stand alone does demand a higher level of competance. And theres something in it for Rocket. If they develop a stand alone and only charge 10 dollars they will make a killing off the hype alone. Dont sit there and tell me over a million of Dayz players were also Arma 2 Players before this mod launched. I bought Arma 2 just for Dayz, as did just about everyone else. Once it was decided that there was a profit to be made in launching a stand alone version of the mod then they should of upped the proffesionalism of the project as a whole. Hell if i was about to make 500 000 dollars in under a years worth of work I think i would be upping the anti a bit more. I mean simple shit like FUCKING SERVER SIDE SCREEN tearing......and vehicles/tents not saving.....And bandit skins deleting backpacks and shit. And these are all things that were not broken a month ago that are now for some reason not working.. This is not acceptable standards for a team whos moving from production on an alpha mod to a fucking stand alone platform. Its all grand and dandy that their devoting their time to launching the full game but letting the mod go to complete shit in the process is not going to help encourage gamers to beta test the stand alone when theyve come to expect no communication from the mod team on their current project I mean hell Minecraft alpha was far from perfect but its funny how Notch is always keeping his fans in the loop and addressed issues at a resonable pace

Good Evening Guys, Lu135 - By Team Dauntless What happened? Last Week me and my Team were searching up the Area as we found a Chopper, two little Camps (2-3 Tents) and a Blue Truck full of shit. Not only ingame weapons and so on cheated ones two - like M4A1 Holo SD with Grenade Luncher. We took as much as we could and made a camp a litte more away. We took all the weapons to our camp on another server, where we hoped to store, but after a reset all gone. As we logged in again another day we heard the chopper flyin away so we thought lets search for it. Today I was on a run again on the server. I found a Bike at their old camp, which we raided and wanted to find the chopper. I drove all the way to the west and found another 2 big tent camps with lots of stuff like NV,RF,As50, Ammo and lots more Shit. Even Radios and Map (Evidence) multiple. So after that we really knew they were hackers or cheaters so we thought we would just destroy their Chopper if we find it and really on the edge of the fucking Map NW at the Mountain I found that chopper and a nice Camp with 2 Atvs, 1 Blue Truck, 2 Tents and the Chopper. After I just saw it I was attacked and my Mate called me, that i should get the fuck out of there cause they couldnt have seen me trough all the woods. Then they got back in the chopper chasing me through the forest, but I got them on their thail and disconnected after Ejecten and returning fire at the freaking chopper and hiding. Didnt want to freaking die again cause of hackers. [AiC] Mighty Aul [AiC] Blue Devil rtfmplx[AiC] These were the two. Yeah I know DT server. Shit they play with other names. Sometimes with Tag sometimes not sometimes with a different like this one. But the story didnt end - My Mate told me from far distance that they were trying to safe their Camp. I really didnt want back on the server - didnt want to die like yesterday spawing in the air and shit. My Mate told me that he has no clear shot and the Heli. Fuck it i logged back in run like 2 Minutes to a good position and all of the sudden behind me came the freaking Chopper. I turned with my As50 and shot till the mag was empty. I Shot the gunner and then the chopper went down and exploded. Next Thing what happend? Can you imagine what? Guess what? YEAH - after getting in Atv to fall back - "You were kicked (Battleeye: Banned)" - only on this server - and guess whats next? YEAH Serverreboot!!!! Long story short i got all the freaking Coords of their camps and I hope you guys have fun raiding it :) Every tent full of shit Ammo, Guns, Grenades, food and if your lucky you find the chopper 2 Atvs and the blue truck which are all Green and full of fuel and weapons ghillies and so they banned me for killing them its your turn! here the map: Coords: 032/001 - 6-7 Tents full of Guns, Ammo and wtf +radio 052/018 - at the End of the mountain 6-7 Tents full of Guns and Ammo 005/006 - Big Camp on the most west Mountain - here where Chopper, 2Atv, 1 BlueTruck full of Shit 130/015 - 3 Tents Full of Shit at the Cove - There is a bus two - here we found their camp the first time with all vehicles Gear: As50, M4 CCO, M4 CCO SD, M4A1 Holo, M4A1 Holo SD, M24, SvD Camo, M104, all 3 Mgs, Greanades, Satchel Charges, NVGs, RFs, M9SD Nato Ammo, M107 AMMO, STANAG, STANAG SD, M240, M9SD Ammo, Bloodbags, like 25 Antibiotics, tents, all together i think 46 Ghillies some camo and i saw one soldier. If you go all west to east youll find lonely tents which are full two but i was too lazy to write them all down!

This is unfixable at present. I'd like for the artifacting and tents/vehicles to be fixed. Also the teleporting to the coast bug, if possible. I can wait until the standalone for everything else if I have to.

I've been alive for 30 something days. I have biked and hiked and driven around the map maybe 15 times. I know the location of lots of tents, vehicles (but no helicopter). I've stolen vehicles and raided tent cities, teamed up with people driving in a bus there and forth. Dozens of players crossed the sights of my weapons without me firing. I've been shot at, people around me have been killed but I survived. It is perfectly possible if you don't drive through the center of Chernogorsk in a bus blaring the horn. Incidentally, the most dangerous part came when I accidentally lost all secondary equipment slots (handgun ammo + bandages) and needed to re-loot them. A single zombie hit could have taken me out.

Just tents and vehicles. Can deal with everything else until the standalone. They're the only things that make me think twice about logging in.

I vote for tents and vehicles saving. Artefacts can be workarounded for most.

You know what would be amazing. A contestable radio station on every server. If you and/or your group go in and kill the current owners, you get to decide what plays. Then go so far as to able to just play music of your PC. This radio should be able to be heard in vehicles and portable personal radios.

I think it's pretty obvious that the two weapons I noted are legit, but they are, from what it seems, the most commonly scripted in weapons. Not only that, according to the DayZ wiki, they are supposed to be extremely rare. With the influx of scriptors and people that are against hacking but still choose to reap the benefits, there is an extremely high number of these extremely uncommon weapons floating around. I only used them as an example because they are the most commonly spawned, but you can bet your ass that the majority of people you have killed that had an AS50 took it off a body that scripted/duped it into existence. The only way to cycle scripted weapons, weather legit lootable weapons or not, out of the game is to leave them on the corpse and hide the body. The way this effects game balance is there is little to no point in entering a city of any size to gear up your character. Scripters, dupers, and people that hoard scripted/duped weapons found in game have thrown the rarity loot balance completely off, and the most efficient way to play the game now is to spawn, run to the far west coast, and run north until you find tents and vehicles chocked full of spawned weapons. Why spend 20 minutes risking your neck in Cherno or Elektro when EVERY SINGLE SERVER has piles and piles of tents and dead bodies laying around with NVGs, AS50s, M9 SDs, range finders, GPSs, etc. So, to make the same point I made before, people like you are ruining the balance of the game and making it a race to who can find the dupe tent the fastest, as opposed to playing the game. If you want to play with these weapons, look for them, and if they aren't in the game, go play Arma. Loot maps are your friend.

Too bad I'm gonna have to leave it here because of vehicles not saving. Actual point of thread: 10 RGO frag grenades. I consulted the wiki and found very little info. Is there any reason to prefer these grenades over M67 grenades? Also, if anyone needs SVD mags, I now have 10 to share.

I recall Rocket saying some things about new maps for standalone. Now, I know the idea of a city like map has been said before [so DON'T say "use the search function". I'm talking to you, Mods] but it doesn't matter. I would just like to re enforce it with my opinion of such a thing. Take Cherno for example. One of the biggest cities in the game [if not the biggest]. But when you think about it...it's not that big. Now, how about a much larger map, where there are highways? And much much MUCH larger cities? This is where my idea [or, perhaps it's not my idea] of supercars [yes, you read correctly] comes into play. You have these massive highways. Massive, long stretching highways that are all over the map. Wide highways that allow for multiple vehicles to be on the road. Now, since the map would be massive, speed is a necessity on these long roads. How about having some supercars? Small storage. Therefore, make the rarity of the supercars MUCH more common. Merely awesomely epic transport. And I suppose make things like V3S's, URALs, Buses, etc, more rare, as they are primarily storage vehicles. High speeds [perhaps matching the speeds of the IRL supercars] Customisable supercars, such as the ability to tweak the performance of the cars by finding parts. The ability to customise your own body designs. [i.e. you could get the ID of your car or something that only allows the current owner to customise the car. Once you have the ID, you could externally --perhaps internally if possible-- customise the colours, looks, etc, of the car. Imagine speeding down the highways at high speeds in a car with whatever customisation you wanted!] I would like to thank the forum user Trizzo for this inspiration. Car radios. Perhaps the Devs could implement a radio station with their own music choices [you could perhaps tune into other frequencies --ingame teamspeak, eh?-- of other players. Former bolded text is not my idea, it has been something that is a common idea]. Maybe even they could occasionally [when they feel like it] say something in the radio to the players? On the note of car radios, how about the ability to upload your own music into the radio [i suppose it would go along the way the ID works that I stated in the customising section] and play it in-game? These are just some ideas that I would ABSOLUTELY [*insert every other highly positive word*] LOVE for something like this to become a reality in standalone. I apologise for any grammatical, spelling or any other literacy related mistakes made. Post your thoughts, and perhaps ideas! P.S. I mean, come on. How cool would it be to be able to speed down highways in your own favourite supercar? My favourite is the Audi R8 GT V10. Although, it's not particularly great on speed compared to other cars, but an amazing drive non the less. What is your favourite supercar? EDIT: Here's one word. Races.

Okay so I don't play on Non-hive servers very much but I stumbled acrossed one with a friend and played a while. Found a motorcycle, made camp, and he left. I kept chatting with the other guys and befriended the admin. He took me to his camp with his 3 friends and they have several vehicles. Jeep, car, Bus, bicycle, and Ural. He seems like the kind of guy who would reset, or roll back the server if I ended up stealing his shit with my friends. My question is, since it's a non-hive server is he subject to the regular rules of admin (banning, kicking for severe reasons) if he abuses his admin power, or since it's essentially his own setup can he do whatever the hell he wants with no repercussion? P.S. They have a hacked AS50 TWS at their camp in a tent. He showed me. If I steal their vehicles can he ban/kick/roll or reset server and get away with, or not?

No-one is finding your tents, patch 1.7.2.5 is bugged so that tents will only save once You put up tent (Stage 1) You put gear in tent (Stage 2) You save tent (Stage 3) You put more gear in tent (Stage 4) You save tent (Stage 5) Someone finds your tent, steals everything out of it and saves (Stage 6) Server restarts and tent reverts to Stage 3 After that initial save, no matter what you put in it, or what you take out, after the server restart the tent will revert to it's initial save state. Same goes with vehicles.

Yes DayZ stand alone is coming, yes that will spice it up and be a completely new experience but if the fundamental mechanics are the same (and without any indication of what new mechanics might be) I’m not sure for how much longer the wider dayz community can keep interested. It appears that dissatisfaction with the DayZ experience is at an all-time high. Please dont suggest fix the artifacts/bugs/hacking. Yes they are annoying but they are not fundemtal design flaws of gameplay. The question is...what do you need to make dayz a fresh and exicting experiece and one that you keep coming back for? -Top tier loot that isn't high powered weapons. One of the problems with dayz looting is that most of the high tier finds are weapons or force multipliers, like night vision /rangefinders. The best finds in Dayz are almost univesally things that kill people! Little wonder tons of severs just ressemble COD. If the end goal of DayZ is high powered weapons/gear the only outcome that can arise is a blood bath. Loot that purely helps people, that has utility and reusability needs to be a core part of the loot system. And not just loot that heals people. Vehicles are one thing but outside of a clan or you finding a random car nobody has anything else acheviable to aim for besdies guns. -A mechanism that allows players to find players or facilitating interactions instead of random wandering. The random wandering is an essential part that i don't want to go away, scavaging is the core part of gameplay. Two options for the following: and I am aware that the first has been discussed at great length. # Bases. There is talk about Red Faction style bases but there are concerns about their "progam-ability", or general skeptisimim or dissmissal. For me I think this is the number one priority that would give direction to the game. Centers for trade, doctors, clans, relaxation. I think this is the most important ascpect of the future for DayZ. I would like to hear why you might disagree. #Radios? UAV? Triangulation? Used for finding people that you're not on vent with. I don't think anybody wants carepackages/uav in that sense...but something... -Missons? Before dissmissing this by saying this isnt skyrim think of this. Missons or goals give people looking for PVP conflict a place to find it. A lot of people I know kill because of boredom and justify it by saying "ahh you never can tell their intention". Something prized to comepte over, that isn't just a pile of loot, could draw bored players away from spawns/towns. Raiding a Z heavey center STALKER style where you needed to bring a toolbox, a satchel charge and X tools would be exicting. Throw into the mix the fact its a compeition over a rare item the inclination to KOS would be quite high. Randomly generated quests, hotspots that pop up for people to go raid, items that appear on the map for 15 mintues. Something to give people who are bored the incentive and a place to fight. And then...?

Hello everyone, me and a friend have plenty of vehicles and weapons (no seriously, we have a ton of weapons and night vision goggles and range finders and all that bull honky) We use skype, if someone has a team speak/ prefer mumble, we can use that, it's really up to you. we're looking for roughly 1-3 more members to our ''group'' we're competitive if that word comes into play on this game? We rob camps, kill kids, and just do bandit ass shit. Welcome to pm me on here or add me on skype; heymisterowl We both already have a large deal of experience playing FPS games, (cs 1.6 and so forth) so if this suites you, and you're a competitive person join. Thanks guys, Owl.

We've been having the same issue on my server as well... though, I don't think it started with 1.7.2.5... it seems like I started noticing items in vehicles and tents stopped saving after the new BattlEye enhancements (remoteexec.txt and createvehicle.txt). I may remove these for a couple days and see if things improve (if no one else already has).
