you know what's fun? playing for a whole weekend only to get all your shit disappeared due the fucked up bugs with the vehicles and tents. I understand the standalone is coming out in 7 years, and that fixing the artifacting and broken vehicles are oh-so-tiresome, but SOME OF US ARE TRYING TO PLAY THIS GAME. I like dayz. i don't like the way it is managed. even notch wasn't this lame. we all still play minecraft, but i've gone through 3 groups of friends who have quit this game due to its unprofessional management. (inb4 alpha hurrrrrrrrrr) an alpha is supposed to be broken, but also IN THE PROCESS OF BEING FIXED. when we go months without fixes for things, the fanbase feels betrayed and resentful. so: 1. fix tents and vehicles asap so i don't waste my fucking time 2. fix the artifacting that makes stary, berezino, balota, nwaf, etc UNAPPROACHABLE due to mindfuck. get with it. it's 2012 and fucking game devs cant get their shit together on a potentially awesome game? at this point, if the current record is any touchstone for the future of dayz, i'm not expecting much from the standalone.

Here's the deal: A friend and me finally found a tent to save our gear in, nothing special, just some things to get a headstart, when you die. We figured it would be absolutely necessary to have a hidden storage space instead of running around with our backpacks filled. For me, this is the most important feature this great game offers. Unfortunately, this is also the biggest disappointment. Read on here: http://dayzmod.com/f...ies-not-saving/ Since this problem still exists and it now also seems that 1.7.2.4 rollbacks won't help, I decided to stop playing until this issue is fixed. Don't get me wrong: I don't want pressure things up, because I can imagine how much work this must be. But this problem is an absolut dealbreaker for me. I know, there are approx. 1000000 bugs, but this need immediate attention, since it's absolutely necessary for the game experience. Edit: Changed title from "Stopped playing, waiting for tents/vehicles to be fixed, who's in" to "Broken tents/vehicles alter my game experince totally, how about yours?" since the first one was obviously not constructive. Sorry about that though, don't want to be missinterpreted here. Be aware that some posts now point in a different direction.

Not had any tent/vehicle save anything for over a week. Also vehicles are randomly returning to places on the map there is meant to be no spawns :\

I like my bicycle, I'll even find plenty of vehicles, check their gear and move on with my Bicycle. Just last night I was meeting my friend at the coast and I found a blue van and a motorbike a UAZ and V3S Civillian, Put it this way, I kept my bicycle and my friend took the V3S :D Epic bikes are epic! :D

When I lost my bike to most likely a script kiddie I was so pissed I almost stopped playing. I have lost three vehicles in a obscure spots on a low population server, then I looked up map hacks and was surprised to find out there is a player locator script, a vehicle locator script, and a tent locator script. This game is incredibly broken when a bike hidden in a Bush on the Western edge of the map is vulnerable to theft.

I paid for the server rental, ill do what i please with it. Who are you to tell me otherwise, there are plenty of servers for you to choose from. Cry me a river you petty bitches. The whole reason we do it is because of hackers. Im guessing as per the 2.5 comment it will keep happening. Seems a bit daft to me.........So when I find a legit vehicle, repair it, drive it to hide it then save it........itll go back to the place it spawned?? This game is genius. I might revert back to 2.4. Atleast I will be able to save vehicles again and dupe items. We have a dedicated lorry to store guns in and another ural for food thanks to the dupe glitch. We have every weapon in the game now with multiple copies.

Dear Devs! I'm the admin of the DE77 Server (without space). We got a problem with the Vehicles on our server, espacially the helicopter. We (DT Clan ... 10 People) are searching for a helicopter on the server for nearly a month without any success. We checked nearly every square on the map, 10 people, every day and we think that there never was a helicopter. We even never heard any chopper on the server and we are playing on it since the beginning. In generally vehicles are very rare on the server. We only found 2 busses 1 V3S and a tractor (in 2 months intensive playing). Could u please check our server for the copper spawn or reset the vehicles on it? THX nice greetings [DT] Haradus

If i get the OP right he is not trying to find a currencys name be it gold coins, shells, cigarettes or stardust to horde for players to buy huge appartments in cherno, retro chairs and new nikes in a virtual Shop but rather something we as players could misuse as a currency. And the answer is of course: fuel. I think it would really come down to this especially if it turns out as rocket stated in an interview that he would like the standalone to feature lots of repairable vehicles but less fuel. I'm trying to establish a shop right outside electro with fuel as a currency. Anyone willing to participate is more than welcome (PM me) because i just thought of my meaning of dayz life in that instance and first have to figure out how this could be accomplished. Guess i'd need runners (some sort of errand boys), gunners (bodyguards) and diggers (guys that loot the world). I don't want to get rich with this concept but it would be cool to re-establish some small parts of society. Which i hope i will fail because i love the game as a hardcore zombie apocalypse and not as The Sims. Well anyway i guess it would be fun to fail in the attempt :) (sorry for hijacking the thread for a moment. I got carried away).

I'm not claiming this to be a new idea, mostly just making a new topic with the "urgent" to get attention to the issue, hoping others who agree will keep this topic bumped to get the Dev's attention The reason I think it's "urgent" is due to the fact that the latest hotfix has "fixed" the ammo tracking (mags no longer refill on login)... which is great, infinite ammo is dumb. However, with tents & vehicles not saving properly, we're limited to our character inventory for storage and when I login to the game, it automatically loads a full mag, resulting in many partially used mags in my inventory. Please add some functionality to let us combine these mags into full mags (with the leftovers in 1 mag). I doubt this would be too hard to add to the game and would really help us manage our available space in our inventories.

Pay to win with your own server for vehicles and locking it down when you aren't using it? That is vagina.

Thats a problem with 2.5 rollback to 2.4 and all your tents and vehicles will save again.... there really is NO POINT to running 2.5 other than the humanity thing... which isnt worth loosing all tents and vehicles every restart imo.

Vehicles are stored specifically on a server, turning the server off, then on is classified as a restart. Thus you lose where you parked the heli and all vehicles reset. Your gear however is stored hive side so that is why you keep it. Fairly certain you're not supposed to be doing this, but with scripters/hackers and so many high end items rolling around lately. What difference does it make.

Its a server connected to the hive mate. We use it to store weapons and vehicles, and use the vehicles (mainly chopper) to get about the server, then server hop and turn our server off. So unless im going to grab some packets (which I cant be arsed with) I dont think there are many alternative methods.....

Well, oh I see. Well actually the truth behind the matter is I must've got in a hacked helicopter (Hear me out because this wasn't intentional and didn't hack) I was walking to Elektro like always when I heard a helicopter approach from above and landed about 100m away. I ran up to the helicopter and shouted "Friendly" hoping he would give me a lift. Suddenly he get's out the chopper and walks off. I think "Wow that was nice of him to leave me a chopper" I tell my fiend who spawned down the road and waited for him. While waiting in the helicopter for my friend I saw another chopper fly over head (By the same guy) which I was thought was a bit suspicious but hell "I found a freakin' chopper". So yes I was suspicious (but I had no idea that he hacked it in). When I was banned I had no idea why and asked my friend if he knew anything and he suggested that the person might have hacked vehicles and that's why I was banned. I brushed it off saying "That's pretty unlikely". After trying to reconnect to the server I came here and put the ban appeal up hoping others would see my innocence. Well that's me story, believe it or not. Either way I just wish I could have 1 more chance. P.S. The community can be quite mean and untrusting :( Edit: I also crashed it 5 minutes later so... yeah XD

No one took it because I abuse my rights as an admin and lock the server Weve had the chopper for over a week and used it multiple times, its back where it was last saved, along with the 6 other vehicles weve got parked up. So lesson to anyone, always save the vehicles when getting out. I hope War Z isnt as much as a pile of shit as Day z

Vehicles auto save location when you exit a vehicle, saving only has to do with any gear in it........when everything is working that is.

If you're the admin of a server, I see nothing wrong with checking the vehicles on the server data to see if there is still a UH-1H in there. And if there is and it's not where it should be, I also think it's perfectly acceptable for you to go download some mapping tool and figure out where it is, how it got there and how to stop that from reoccurring.

Server-restart resets un-saved vehicles. Its either on its spawn or someone took it.

Sounds awesome, but things like this never really work out. But I guess I could be an engineer if you guys need me. 20+ hours of flight time in the UH-1H, AS50, and a love for destroying vehicles - got about 30 vehicle destroys currently on this life.

Intersting concept and very good suggestion. It certainly would encourage team play more as it would mean that not every play could do everything, i.e. fly, survive the wilderness, give medical attention, be profficient with all firearms, repair all vehicles, therefore it would mean you would need a team of players who were useful at their particular "trade" in order to survive long term in an orgnised fashion. Maybe these traits could be also aquired over time or expanded by finding various books or maybe even traded between alive players. Again it wouldnt exactly discourage "kill on sight" but it certainly would reward team play and co-operation.

First Kill was when I was showing this game to a friend. While looking for vehicles and passing by the Lighthouse inbetween Cherno and Electro we suddenly noticed a ghillie suit guy with a L85A2 AWS. I only had an Enfield but it I wasnt willing to take the risk of dying without a fight. I shot him once, he turned towards us and I ran. I circled around him and downed him with another shot, then I closed in on him and empty'd a makarov clip into his head, just to make sure. The loot was worthless, he had the gun but no ammo for it, so with pain in my hearth, and lack of room in my backpack I left. My second kill was in the Electro Factory/Firestation. I walked up the tower to look for weapons and on my way down I encountered a guy with a handgun and crossbow. He started shooting but luckily his aim was worthless. I rushed down after emptying a full G18 clip and switched to my AK. When he came down, I sprayed the doorway and finally got the chance to bandage. Due to lack of food I had to live with 6000 Blood, but when I left the fire station I was shot. I died. Kill number three was in the next life, I found an M24 and decided to try to be an annoying-bitchy asshole myself. On the roof of the docks I noticed a fresh spawn. Considering him innocent I decided not to shoot him, but when he came out of one of the building, looking me straight into the eyes and throwing something towards me, at that moment I thaught it was a frag, but it was a flare. I shot him in the head and watched him falling down. This kill I regret the most, as he was harmless and this was a douchebag kill on my side. The fourth was after I came down from the docks building and went to the supermarket for some food. A tent was right in front of it, ITS A TRAPPPP, but I couldnt resist checking it out. A Lee enfield was inside, and I decided to gtfo from there for my own safety. However, a freshspawn walked up to the tent aswell and I tryed to communicate with him. He ignored me. Suddenly I remembered the Lee Enfield and decided to shoot him with my .45 -Safety first. Soon after that the sniper who set-up the tent got me. Karma. The fifth was when I was raiding stary sobor tents, A lot of artifacts appeared and I decided to go to the treeline to log-off and log-back on, hoping the artifacts would have dissapeared. They had. I moved back to the tents, and just when I went into one tent I noticed a survivor checking the tents aswell. He didnt notice me yet so I decided to wait for him to move out of a tent. When he got out, I leaned and shot him, but for some reason he didnt die, I probaly missed or didnt do enough damage, he came close to me and I emptyed another clip. He died, I died. Thats my first five kills. This is how I became a bandit.

Yeah the medic crowd is doing a good thing whether the statistics are truely in its favor or not. But other than helping other people out, its a good crowd to just chill with and run missions for as an extra gun or storage to help haul medic and other gear. Sort of gives you a purpose even if you dont do the medic work itself. My goal is to help the medics by getting vehicles in running shape and giving them away so they can quickly help others. Plus its hilarious driving around in groups, you have so much fun and even if you die its entertaining. I destroyed myself last night in a tractor by running into a rock...i LOL'd. somehow i managed to stay alive as my health declined from 12000 to 486 and stopped bleeding for some reason. Im back to full life, but my tractor..its not so good of shape :)

I specifically rolled my server back to 1.7.2.4 to avoid vehicle/tents not saving due to 1.7.2.5. I was able to restart the server fine without losing any gear/vehicles but It seems after the hive went down last night it also effected 1.7.2.4 servers as well now... Anybody else experience vehicle wipes on their 2.4 servers after the hive restart early this morning?

Exactly the same with our server, however, when saving certain vehicles, they turn into something else. For example, the Ural always turns into a bus, and the bicycle turns into a motorcycle. We have a Host Altitude server. So it sounds to me like maybe it is related to the hosts, possibly. With regards to tents, we set up camp on 1.7.2.4 - everything we had in the tents during that patch is saved everyday. The same items reappear after server restart. However since we upgraded to 1.7.2.5, we cannot save any additional items placed in those tents.

hope we can pull off smth like this when vehicles and tents are finally working :3
