I think this mechanic would add to the game, it's been suggested before and I don't see the problem with it. More dynamics, more secure vehicles, win win.

What do you mean you're not suppose to keep a vehicle for ever? of course you are.The only reason they aren't is because server resets are constant, it extremely hard to repair a car since everything is broken all they time, and people steal them. This is a realistic feature and solution to the Dayz vehicle system. Plus I think vehicles would be a much more common in a first world country, Ethiopia has more damn vehicles than Chernarus.

It would be nice to see fuel tanks that eventually did run completely out of fuel (for a limited amount of time mind you, It wouldn't be fun to have all the fuel tanks completely run out and vehicles be useless). Perhaps Rocket will throw something like this in standalone, but don't have high hopes about seeing anything like this in Alpha/Beta.

Best advice was already given, buy a new CD key. Secondary advice, don't pick up or even go near supply crates that are spawned (that goes for vehicles as well).

I have similar problems with my server. The vehicles wont save locations + they loss items on server restart. I had to shut down my servers so the players of my server would stop complaining about losing everything on mandatory server restarts.

I do understand the frustration of having a vehicle stolen. However what's stopping me from breaking the window's and just hot wiring the vehicle to start without keys? In a time where vehicles are a precious resource, nobody's going to simply abide by the rules and leave a 'locked' car alone, they're going to do whatever it takes to leave with it.

basically this.. also don't wear ghillie suits and don't use vehicles (if you can find them) they seem to attract hackers and always be prepared to alt-f4/disconnect when thunderdomed or if lots of players start dying my char has been alive for 14 days now (about 1-5 hours each day) hanging around NE airfield and Krasnostav everything you need up there (including some potiential heli crash spawns) and you still get action from tent dupers and lone wolves heading west

Hey there, Im searching a Clan so, maybe somebody of you is interrested... About me Im Actually 16 Years old and I play DayZ now for over 200 Hours, I spend a lot of time to get my Equip. I have a good Headset, skype and TS2+3, I also play: CoD, Battlefield, LoL, Starcraft etc. I Love Teamplay and im really no Egoist, just a little bit Paranoid... What im Exactly searching for A Clan, (German would be awesome) which have his own Server, a good Structur and nice members. Im also searching for a Group where I can hide my loot and I can PvP with. I hate it to run around alone, searching for vehicles which are all already gone and than run from Crash site to Crash site... I don't think im such a real good player so I think the best Role for me is Medic/Sniper Spotter My Equip: http://i.imgur.com/2OmGz.jpg http://i.imgur.com/96Xpr.jpg

On the whole vehicle side to things, I've only ever found a bicycle. All together I've found 3 bikes now, all in different servers and I've been playing for 4+ months now. (Not 100% sure how long) It all depends on the server and who plays in it. It's not always hackers that get all of the vehicles, but the server owners clan/group. Again, it all depends on so much. Also my group seems to always find vehicles and helis. I've never been with then when they have, but that was mainly because I couldn't join the same servers as them. Now I am able to so I will see!

I have come to the conclusion that the vehicles return to the last location they were saved at or spawned to before the update. I found 4 locations on 1 map where the vehicles keep resetting to reliably. Of course the only one worth running to is the motorcycle because of another bug, "auto-fix".... So take note of where you FIRST find a vehicle and MAYBE when the reset takes place it will be where you found it.

I have a to of supplies to trade, parts for vehicles and supplies, and ammo, and guns, just name it I will probably have it. I really need these two weapons because I have 10 mags for each, get back to me if you would like to trade message me on here or add me on skype saying you wanna trade Skype name is : Shawn.Moore25 Thanks.

No, not doing something wrong, there are reports of the same thing happening to vehicles. etc

Hrm, that could be another reason, people hoarding them. Also, i did state "Legit" vehicles.

So I got global banned the other day for hacking. I'm sad because I don't like wasting money and now my ArmaII is $30 out the door like a fine. I'm not sad because the server I was on before I got global banned I actually used some scripting powers to help fellow noobs out. I'm a veteran player up to 3 months and finally just gave up. The server was hacked to death anyway and I figured I'd see what all the fuss was about. I was tired of running up to cherno and electro for 10-15mins a time to get loot. All I wanted was a crossbow because I've had everything in the game from 10 man squads in helicopters and urals to sniper and ground teams raping cherno and electro. I figured out the crossbow sights with a piece of tape on my screen with dots and wanted to test it on players and get good with it. I spawned a crossbow with all tools and m9sd. I used esp and teleported to a player. I tried shooting at him and missed, he said friendly and had no guns. I then talked to him and it turned out he was a noob then I decided to show him the ropes of dayz. He had a buddy, we found tents and heli crashes and just had a good time. I taught them how to find camps and vehicles and what guns do what damage and how to avoid zombies. I actually played it normal after I met those guys because I just wanted to have a good time again. My crew never plays anymore as they're tired of the hackers. Now I'm global banned and I can't even play normal Arma II which I actually had fun with. I used to stay up to about 6 am and didn't sleep most days because of arma II. It's for the better. At least I know I was helping people and not hurting them in the end.

Rotor God what vehicles do you have?

If I get one I'll let you know, although I find the land vehicles more interesting than the offer of your weapons. Most people who actually have the time, effort and skill to repair a helicopter to the point of fly-ability would have the level of weapons and gear that you do now. So maybe offer them up and the ammo and suits? I just don't reckon many will be super keen for weapons as most are happy with what they are running with currently and also because SVD mags are rare as rocking horse shit these days. Well for me anyway.

The reverse of this is also true. I think it's a great concept I've not seen discussed before... I would be fine with humanity depleating over time as well, slowed by being around others and flat gains/drops based on helping/hurting others. EX: 2 bandits muck about hill sniping n00bz around cherno like 1337 pr0z, but because they are constantly proximate to one another and occasionally help eachother with blood etc, they loose their humanity at a rate of 1*X. 2 survivors muck about cherno looking for supplies and getting the eff out of there like 1337 pr0z. Because they are constantly proximate to one another and occasionally help eachother with blood and every so often have to kill a hostile bandit, they loose their humanity at .75*X A lone survivor hangs out in the extreme north, staying away from anyone and anything that moves. He hits a few barns and supermarkets to get buy, has a hidden tent in the woods, and is stocking up to repair some vehicles like a 1337 pr0. He occasionally has to kill a hostile he encounters, or bumps into a friendly and then gets the eff out of there to avoid a confrontation. Becuase he is almost never proximate to other players, rarely gives/recieves help, and occasionally kills an enemy on top of that, his humanity is lost at 1.25*X In order to restore humanity (other than killing zombies and blood transfusions), add in a "pills" item. Without these pills, once a player reaches 0 hummanity, they start to shake in the same manner that one experiences when needing pain killers. (yes, I know 0 humanity is an unrealistic number at this time, but humanity scores and things that effect them can be tweaked, as can the hummanity floor... shut up.) Thoughts?

Freak there is indeed an option for that, check at grapic options -> advanced options. And sometimes a server needs multiple restarts because tents/vehicles don't spawn or of because of some other problem. Or perhaps the admin was changing settings and it went wrong, I don't know, but I know it happens.

Taken earlier today. I keep hearing people say "no vehicles".

Tents are disappearing/not saving correctly/working all at random with this version. It's all very hit and miss. Same goes for vehicles still. Kind of surprised they aren't cracking down on this huge bug or maybe they are and we'll have a fix soonish.

I dunno, see I wander around the lands of Chernarus and you know what I see, burnt out military vehicles, dead soldiers, mass graves, road blocks, military heli's crashed in fields, military camps, and a military airfield. Now I think to myself something epic has happened here, a major military operation so I am in no way surprised to find military grade weapons everywhere it seems to fit perfectly with the narrative of what I see any way.

Last patch it was because there was too much gear. Now it's because you can't store any of your gear or vehicles. Too much storage and death is inconsequential. Too little storage and you don't have much reason not to give in to homicidal nihilism.

After this post you deserve to have everything you have stolen and to be shot in the back and I hope it happens, dayz is about persistent gaming without the threat of losing it all the game fails. Shutting down your server is just a form of admin abuse in my opinion, we leave ours on 24 hrs a day our camps and vehicles are always being looted, for almost a week one team held the Heli from us hoarding the vehicles, the fun was trying to keep it all and win/find it all over again.

No idea who did it, but US 10 Chicago just had all it's vehicles spawn in a line in the middle of a field and some people got turned into pigs. I'm pretty sure the server was full up at the time. There's been a lot of weird activity for the past couple days. SUVs driving around and lots of tents full of high-powered weapons. The current time is 8:00 PM EST. The field is near Komarovo. Dunno what else to say.

hi, me and my friends need to find a new home server. on our current ones the vehicles and tents aren't saving properly, so we want to move, any suggestions? preferably one with BE script detection
