Thanks Blackout. Anyone who is willing to play fairly, how the game was intented to be played, and play by the rules is welcome to enjoy our server. We work hard to make it a fair place to play, unfortunately hackers have easy access with this game and we as server admins can only do so much to try and lock em out. We have had group members have AS50 TWS's placed in their hands by hackers on other servers and I immediately tell them to get rid of it before playing here. Not fair for us or anyone to use it if it's not meant to be in the game and others can't find it in game to use. As I understand it, You were kicked that night because someone got your playertag along with 5up3rpit5 and Impulse together and saw your group was running with at least 1 thermal AS50 which was confirmed with a look at the server log and the kick was more of a warning shot in case any or all of you 3 were hacking as we had dealt with a lot of people trying to create vehicles and mass killings that night and were trying to keep it under control. I spent more time that night scrolling through logs than I did playing. I just checked the ban list and non of your names are there. If any of you 3 are banned it is because you were auto banned for scripts which it won't show us your character name in the ban list. Let us know if any of you 3 still can't get on the server. Be safe in Chernarus, but play fair is all we ask.

Why, because the mod hates you that is why. That is why standing on a rock results in death, opening a door near a wall will break your leg, and the reason zombies can walk through walls. Just kidding, the vehicles are hopeless so do not even bother if you are going to care about losing it on restart, but with tents put everything in all at once and save the tent only once and it should come back on restart.

tl;dr You're all stupid for responding to this person who thinks that DayZ should be like BF3 with perfect vehicles spawning left and right and you spawn with weapons right away.

I find it funny that after only a week, you turn to hacking because of whatever unjust or whatever reason. I've been playing this mod for about 3 months, i've done everything you could possible do in this game, lone wolf it, find a group, repair vehicles, roam around searching for shit in large groups, even help start one of the most successful trading posts Freeside Trading, and i've seen it all from constant battle loggers and scripters, and i still to this day have never considered hacking, after 1 week thats what you do? you ruined your own gaming experience and the experience of others because you had a bad week. Please do not come to the standalone, you will have another bad week and then decide to hack again, i hope the global bans carry over to the standalone.

In my opinion you shouldn't be able to loot your own body, even if you make it back in time. Each character is supposed to be an independant human. A new person who lands on the beach would have no way of knowing that at location [063,054] there is a dead body with this, this, this, and that on it waiting to be looted. The whole idea that a players tents, vehicles, and body are retained after death is stupid. It should all disappear or be inaccessible to the player.

I went 3 days straight looking for a vehicle without finding one. It can be extremely frustrating. ATV's are easy to find, but I find them difficult to handle, and they can flip, crushing you. Also, vehicles beget more vehicles. Once you locate one, and can zip around, you start finding more. The first time I found a motorcycle, within twenty minutes I had found a bike, and a tractor as well.

Some server's set the vehicles to re-spawn upon server restart. Other's don't Honestly it's a coin toss, I am one of those vehicle hoarder's you were talking about lol, But my group play's on a low pop server, I do have to say I have ran from Elektro to NW Airfield more than a few time's. As a Matter of fact I wont take the helicopter out unless my full group is on. Lol.

I agree that they should reset all vehicles when 1.7.3 releases since they are bugged atm.

Wow, Stworca, you sure have a mean streak for destroying other peoples poorly placed camps. :blink: I have a mean streak for people driving cars. I always shoot after them with the heaviest caliber rifle I can find. It's funny, but once I completely gave up finding vehicles, I started finding just the kind I like best being a lone wolf: bikes and motorbikes. I do not spesifically look for these. I just remember to have my eyes open, and I usually stumble over one or two of these along the way. I suspect cars are hoarded along the Western and Northeren frontier. Also, try looking up remote areas in forests. They are usually parked in shrubbery or in a way that otherwise lends concealement. :ph34r:

Well, even something like spawning in a vehicle is going to have an effect on your environment. Even if it was a busted one that needed repairs, you were artificially increasing demand for vehicle components, perhaps actively going out looting player camps or industrial sites which other players (with legit vehicles) also would have been looking for. For example, imagine a group needing a windowscreen for their legit car, which you took to repair yours. Seems minor, but they now have to keep looking, might even have died trying. In a roundabout way, it would be kind of your fault they were in that position. Even the smallest things can change your environment, and thus the interactions other players have with it also.

People usually make tents in the areas where a dirt road suddenly ends. If it existed for the next 100-2000 meters, it would go directly next to the tents. Then there are debug field/debug border tents. Lastly, there are somewhat foolish, but still common, tents at the top of a hill. Be it a big one, or a small bump on the map. Vehicles are usually close. If you find tents in those places, they deserve to be looted and permanently destroyed by driving over them / blowing them up, and putting a sandbag on top of the remains. A proper camp, is one that can only be found by someone who is either completely lost, or scans the entire fucking map (or the regular map). Possibly with tents and cars inside pine trees, and no land marks anywhere close. Now, this makes it difficult for your friends to find it too, but the example from the top of my head, would be : From the landmark at XXX,YYY go 1300 meters directly north, then 120 steps north-west. Place a goat on a steel altar found over there, and by evoking the secret password make the tents reappear. Only works during the darkest hours of night, when no nightvision goggles are worn. You also need exactly -750,125 humainty for the vehicles to become visible. Now THAT's a well hidden camp.

Name's Adam, in-game name "Axz", 24 and I live in England. I don't kill other players if it can be helped, if I see another players before they see me I contact them (typeing, I have no mic') if they don't reply I avoid them, if they do reply i'll help them if needed, but won't reveal myself to them (I have ghillie so they might suspect me of being a bandit, and I don't really trust anyone anyway). I (in theory) kill bandits on sight, i've not acctualy seen anyone with a bandit skin before, but I do not agree with killing others for thier stuff when it can be easily obtained without killing others. I don't want vehicles I am happy with my M4A1 CCO SD, M9 SD and MK 48 MOD, so all I do is hang out in the wilderness and pop to a north-west towns supermarket when I need food and water, that would explain why I rarely enoucnter bandits. Oh, and this might ruffle a few feathers, I have no problem logging out when attacked by a bandit, it took me a long time to get my stuff and if they think they are going to take it from me rendering all i've done meaningless just because they cannot be bothered to go to the relavent area to get it themselfs they can kiss the fattest part of my ass, This doesn't happen very often though, twice so far.

I'm a lone wolf, and at one point last week I had 1 motorcycle on 2 different servers, and nearly had a sedan fixed up on one of the servers where I had a motorcycle. I play on low pop servers. If you find one that's "sleepy" enough and carefully search the spawn areas, you will find a vehicle. Legit DayZ requires patience as well, so take your time and plan out your moves around the map. If no vehicle in spawn point A, have a B,C, and D lined up. It also helps not to be picky. My first 2 vehicles were tractors.

In Dayz commander it will have a cloud with an X in front of the server name and say that the server is unofficial. If you join the server and you start a fresh character you will know its a private Hive. The main differences I have seen is that they sort of make their own rules. The server I play on has global text chat enabled and the admins are really active and ban any hackers that they catch and any one that is cheating. Also there are so many more vehicles that you almost always find a bike or someone else driving a vehicle around. I like that you can't ghost on private hive's so alt+f4 is meaningless.

So this started happening when that battle eye update went live. i understand everyone was getting it then also. Now however, i think its just my server getting it at this moment. It's happening to anyone who joins my game, and when i did manage to get into my server, vehicles wern't spawned.

Anyone know if these spawn normally or come in hacked vehicles?

How on earth is less than a week of playing a glitchy alpha game and getting banned worth 25 dollars. If you were that curious why didnt you just play regular arma2 where they GIVE YOU all the weapons and vehicles. Curiousity cured. Might as well have bought a steak dinner with that 25 dollars.

All i would like to know is when are the tent and vehicle issues going to be addressed. Our camp has been ransacked more times then a high street hooker but we can't set up a new camp due to tents/items/vehicles not saving properly.

To be perfectly honest admins pay circa 50 quids per month for the "privilege" of not being able to ban hackers without 16.3 hours of video footage and all the logs in the universe. Not to mention the privilege to not be able to do a full server restart, with tents and vehicles gone. There are tons and tons of abusive admins over there, to be sure. There are, however, tons and tons of legit admins being fucked by them rules, and/or blacklistings.

Go to a private Hive server. People don't go camping cherno/elektro as much, no alt+f4'ing to ghost behind someone and usually there are a lot more vehicles spawns.

Probably the admin and his friends took all the vehicles and hid them in the woods somewhere. You'll have to look at the northern/western borders of the map for vehicles.

So I had this thought. Even though im a bandit and guilty of the same thing, the massive weapon stores are making it far too easy to just run and refit without much effort. What if the system were setup where weapons degrade with use? Im not talking something drastic here like you wear it out in one day. But something that keeps the "supply and demand" a little more in balance. Say you use an AS50, been carrying it a week with substantial use. Well now it has a chance for the "action" to break forcing you to have to find some parts to fix it. Not too hard to find you know? Maybe down the road have an abandoned "gun store" where you can have a chance of finding odds and ends. Vehicles should be the same, requiring a bit more to maintain them but nothing silly where its an absolute hassle. Just a thought.

I don't mind not having vehicles around. I frequent the northern towns, and travel to each on foot. It's nice being stealthy rather than drawing a ton of attention with a car or helicopter. I even have a bunch of routes made up throughout the forests and hills in the north. :) I honestly haven't even been to Cherno or Elektro since I used to spawn with a Makarov.

Rocket already confirmed that the vehicle count will be raised significantly but it isn't priority #1. In exchange jerry cans and gas stations will be more limited. And yes, private servers with more vehicles have way more players in northern towns. One of the many pros of private servers.

That's the thing, these types of admins don't really care about others or the server. What they care about is themselves. A decent admin wouldn't rage and kick/ban people for looting their camp, that's just how the game goes. Non-admins loot each others camps all the time. People that kick/ban for looting tents or taking vehicles are just little kids who get mad when someone takes the most smallest of things from them.
