Good evening, I am Spikey and I have played in this server for a few days now with a few friends. I can speak on their behalf as they have also agreed with me on the following issues. First off, me and my friends own a Ventrilo server that we all communicate on, so everything we talk about is voice chat. There is no text proof so all im doing is typing what has been said. You can consider this information as speculation if you like, but further more, I do not wish to start an angry mob off because all that you read is point of opinion and information that you have that others do not. 1) We have been on the server for many hours one day and we have been using the following map to locate vehicles - http://www.dayzdb.com/map - We have been to 10 different places per day when we have been on this server and we did not find one vehicle. One of my friends decided to record the times the server reboots which is apparently every 4 hours. They reboot at the following times - 12:00pm - 4:00pm - 8:00pm - 12:00am - 4:00am - 8:00am. Me and my friends moved to a location where a vehicle could defently spawn as long as it was not save by someone so we tried multiple places. We logged out, waited for the time for the server to reboot and logged back in. When we checked the area's, no vehicles. We did this about 5 - 7 times. Conclusion - We do suspect that something fishy is going on with how the admins choose to operate this server. The fact that we have been in many places and not managed to find a vehicles seems to be extremely fishy. We have not been on the server when it has been rebooted manually yet, but if we are at some point, then I shall report it here. 2) Me and my friends have ran into this so called "Glitch" where you join a server and it puts you on the Coast of the map, when previously, you were in the middle of the map somewhere, for example, the North West Airfield. I joined the server yesterday, hoping to see if a Helicopter had spawned at the Airfield, and instead, ended up on the coast of Chernogorsk. I still have all my stuff that I previously had, thank god, however, Im not happy that my location gets reset. Now I tested this theory out on other servers. I joined several different servers first and worked out their times of server reset. All the servers I joined that had rebooted, did not put me back on the coast. They put me where I was from US175, the North West Airfield. Upon returning back to US175 a few days after, I spawned at the coast. Conclusion - Me and my friends had a long winded conversation about this one because one of my other friends had this same issue on another server. We are yet to work out what is causing this so called "Glitch" so in this case, I would ask for the help of the Dayz Mod team to clerify one little bit of information for us to draw this conclusion to an end. My question is, where do the players map cordinates get saved to? The server you join or the player Stats server? Once we know this, we can then point our fingers to the Admins of the server and tell them that they are not playing fairly with the game. As frustrating as this is, everyone wants a vehicle because they would like to get around faster to other towns on the map and meet up with their friends. After that, they are then hiding the vehicles out of reach so that they can keep it for themselves and not allow anyone else to have them or use them. This in my opinion is greedy and selfish. I know this is not the topic to be posting suggestions, but I recommend taking out the "Vehicle Save" option so that other people can have some fun with them too. Once their finished, then someone else can have a go too. This then allows people to find vehicles more often than hardly ever in my opinion. That is my rant - Again, all of the above is speculation and me and my friends opinions. Flaming me about this post is not going to achieve anything so lets discuss this like grown men / women & children. Only the Admins of US175 know what they are doing and if they are indeed cheating the system, then shame on them, but we cannot point the finger until the proof is given. Thanks for reading. Spikey

My personal experience is like this: if I don't place some tents for myself, I'm afraid to die with the stuffz I just found(mostly from hackers). If I do place a tent, the gameplay becomes much more tactical. You feel like you have to guard it, and fill it with precious items. Removing tents would be bad, really bad. Once I have good stuff, the only thing that's keeping me in this game are tents(and vehicles, but I don't see them very often).

ok so what im suggesting here is 2 additional modes along with the normal mode we already have in pvp mode you run around surviving as you normally would however if you are killed by a zombie you become a zombie player controlled zombies have what i call the zombie holler any zombies within a certain radius defined by the devs will come running to the location the holler was activated player controlled zombies cannot wield weapons or drive vehicles but they can use the zombie attack now classic mode is more like the prepatch unlike normal mode in classic mode you would spawn with food water and weapons the temperature meter is also removed everything else is same as always. im hoping that pvp mode will be the answer to bandits and will remove the need for it in survival and classic and the reason for classic mode is that im not fond of the idea of spawning without any sort of defense against zombies.

I understand vehicles dont work with this idea, but its just a basic idea atm(i'm more in favor of the items inside tents/vehicles despawning when u die, as opposed to removing them completely, tho with duping id be ok with tents being gone till it was fixed). Dunno if its possible, but tie items stored in a vehicle/tent to the players GUID and have them despawn when the hive reads that they died. Tents have nothing to do with being a better player. The idea of this game, in my mind, is that dying is the worst possible thing to happen to you. The point of getting all that top tier loot should make you not want to die more than the fresh spawn with a hatchet and some road flares. You can still setup camps, but it would make it even more of a challenge knowing that all the hard work you put in is gone if you run into cherno/elektro to snipe fresh spawns, without a care of losing your gear, because you can run back to your tent and restock. And the "better players" will be the ones that can stay alive, not the ones that spend hours loot cycling, server hopping, or duping items. Finding other players tents would be even more interesting, knowing that you just fucked them over by taking all that shit they worked for. Another thing this does, is prevent the flood of top tier items into the game. If they never disapear then eventually there will be way too many of them in the world, and will lose the rarity that is suposed to be associated with them. tbh, the fact that when you die, you can have all the top gear in the amount of time it takes you to run back to your tent is more like COD than the way I think DayZ should be. Oh I died? Doesnt matter I "leveled and unlocked my guns, or perks or w/e they are called" I'll have them when I respawn.

If the MovingShadow here is the same MovingShadow on the Frizag Lingor server Shame on him. He spoke a good game in this thread about protecting players on his server. But his reality is VERY different from his statements. From Moving Shadow's posts in this thread: "# Saying that all admins are abusive is like saying all Arabic/Black people are the same they call that stereotyping for a reason. Most if not all server admins just want to keep their players safe why is that so wrong that we want to lock servers be able to check logs properly and ban people when needed. don't we want more players to play? hence the reason a standalone is being made?" "No one is pointing fingers at anyone all we ask we be able to enforce/police our servers without being blacklisted for trying to keep our players on every single server safe." Yesterday afternoon 7/18 3 players from my group, who had spent the better part of 15 hours each this week on the Frizag server picking up goods setting up a camp got 3 vehicles, Even had a helicopter for all of 5 minutes. I was on TeamSpeak with the guys at the time. These friends had a UAZ drove into the NE Island area and found some battacks. They had a firefight with [Frizag] MovingShadow and and other Frizag tagged player. They managed to kill both Frizag guys in the firefight. Not 2 minutes later [Frizag] MovingShadow is back on site with all his gear or at least his guns. My friends kill him again. He shows up even quicker again with all of his gear again, but this time one of the guys is standing watch and see him pop in about 50 yards out. (Make what you will of this, is the admin now teleporting?) See him come in again. They ambush and kill him a 3rd time. The server immediately shuts down. 15 minutes later it is up and all 3 guys are now "Banned for Teleport Hacking" They never left the spot, it was the Admin Magically popping up with all his previous gear 2x within two minutes. These guys just lost their gear and camp and everything they had worked for a collective 45 hours on the Frizag server. Last night ~8:30 PM EST I dropped into the server and typed in what had happened to warn other players so that they would not spend a lot of time there and get banned for something as simple as killing an admin. And I was immediately kicked banned for "Being Verbally Abusive to an Admin" Yes, MovingShadow I don't know how old you are, but shame on you. Keep your private hive but people spend time on your server and lose their stuff and time in game due to your immaturity. All you had to do was ask them to fight elsewhere or negotiate something. They would have responded. But an asshat snot-faced bann for getting your nose cleaned by some better players than you really shows why DAYZ is where it is. Just password your server and keep the public out of it so you and your group won't have some angst when they get taken to the cleaners. Funny part was there was no action when myself and another 3 other players got killed by teleport hackers on Thurs 8/16 ~ 8:00 PM Numerous complaints, but no one was kicked. I guess in some ways this attitude towards abusive admins is warranted because of people like this. But in my experience with this game. There is still a 50:1 ratios hackers to abusive admins.

Cheaters just invaded DE 76, everyone died and after spawn you get shot instant. Also all vehicles destroyed and so on Also: Server gives russian messages? And this goes on since hours....

Yeah when the servers restart all the vehicles go back to their spawn spots for some reason. Me and my friends had so much cars before the server restarted because we just went to all the spawn spots we new of lol.

Teleport and GM are self only scripts, plenty (all?) of these are still unlogged and undetected. Self heal, repairing vehicles, spawning weapons (directly to themselves, not in a crate), etc. are still around also. The new logs pick up global things, like morphing users, spawning vehicles, mass teleporting, etc..

We hold more weapons than just sniper rifles, that's how we doing this. :) And of course we need short-distance players as well. We playing for fun, looting, sneaking and killing when we meet someone on our way, we looking for people that take it serious and does not attract zombies if it's not neccessary etc. We really need some friendly mid/high experienced players to play with us so we can make more fun and feel more comfortable while looting town, arifield or crashsite. :) Also repairing vehicles will go much faster. So contact Ivehag if your interested!

Every server you connect too have been scripted with TONS of vehicles.. thats why you lag.

i dont pvp much. my squad and I have collected dozens of vehicles, multiple dmr/as50/svd/m4camo/nvg/ghilli etc etc etc etc. those clips were just when we were screwing around trying to get some bandit skins :) anyway, we dont really play the game like we used to. in the beginning it was fun and games, but now we play like it's a job.. hard to collect funny clips when laughing into the mic gets a reply like "SHH!! i thought i heard something!"

weapon inflation due to excessive duping and spawning.... there needs to be a fix for duping at least (hacking can't be fixed, face it) and a complete reset of all characters/tents/vehicles I have never found an L85, AS50 or a Rangefinder at a legit loot spawn. yet it only takes me about 1 hour to get all these items. why? because every fucking douchbag cherno sniper and his dog has them ... and if there is no sniper to kill around just look for a camp... talk about immersion...

Never share a tent with a dude who's last ten meals were baked beans. Zombie growls, vehicles and nearby gunshots are easier to hear if you're not blasting skrillex tunes. Never drive an ATV over a bridge or train tracks (or on docks, or on dam walls). Go around the bridges and always use the rail crossings. Avoid the other two completely. Use the single player ArmAII mission editor to learn to fly (and land) the helicopter BEFORE you find one in DayZ. Serpentine. Wait one hill back from cherno or elektro and wait for the lolsnipers to spawn in. These little walking lootpiles are your one stop shop for GPS, NVGs, Rangefinders and mil spec weapons, and 90% of the time they're too stupid to look over their own shoulder.

Have you been banned from both servers UK135 and US135 for spawning vehicles, or why do have started two exactly same topics ? http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/75656-uk135-unfair-ban/

Yeah. He's a big time hacker. He conveniently ALWAYS knows where vehicles are. He had an ammo hack and killed me and my friend. I had an m249, and my friend an l85 and we unloaded on him while he was standing up in the open about 10 feet away and he didn't die. Shot us both down and took our bus. He had a camp on our server that had like a ritualistic circle or something of all the vehicles on the server. What stood out to us was the fact he had hacked guns and ammo inside the vehicles. Like mg36's and stuff. We knew it was his camp since the bus in his camp had all our stuff in it. He also rolls with a hacking clan that was teleporting around the server . I'll have to ask my buddy the name of it again.

OMG ... The Old Bike already became one of my favorite "vehicles" in the game ... but this is just amazing

Did you rejoin the same server you played on when you had the bus? Vehicles will not move with you between servers. And here's a map: http://dayzdb.com/map#2.061.067

alright folks ive been playing for a few weeks now on my own and thought its about time to start/join a group. im looking for a few people who i can trust to set up a camp and play as survivors, but im all for some anti bandit/sniper raids on the towns and surrounding areas and heading to places we can gather good kit and some vehicles. im in the uk and usually use eu servers, can play evenings and weekends. pref 18+ but if your not a fud then its cool. i have a mic and skype. cheers.

try to restart the server several times when they get back to the spawn.. i had about 3 or 4 restarts with vehicles now.. only 1 didn't work correctly. but the inventory and the things you change in a tent after the first saving of it do not work. so i asked our provider to switch us back to 1.7.2.4, as this seems to be amongst problems with vehicles positions a problem of 1.7.2.5 (http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/68181-1725-tents-and-vehicle-inventories-not-saving/)

Its a good idea, I think zeds doesnt really care about your ride.. But atm vehicles jumps out from the forest so bad... even the tents glow in there...

hi i would like to meet up with players on lingor, i play in the evening gmt and I would like to play with people who wanna find vehicles and have fun in this game, and who chat on teamspeak3, im 31 so no kids pls, my email is [email protected] p.s. i promise i wont shoot you! ;0)

I fail to see how this is useless at all... In fact it is quite damn useful, making your vehicles harder for other people who would steal them to find. Quite useful if you ask me.

Artifacts can be fixed by logging out and then logging back in....but the tents and vehicles are the big problem!!!! Please fix them!!! They will not save shite!!! Love the game btw!

Nice ideas, most of these would be great but I imagine they'd be hard to pull off. We can dream, though. I guess DayZ would have seemed impossible in the Pac-man days... Things I'd add: Ability to choose a perk or two when choosing your gender. For instance, I can quite easily start a fire without a hatchet and matches, so a perk that enables you to take wood from fallen trees in the forest and start a fire using only that would add a bit of realism for me. Other perks could include getting a bit of extra meat from dead animals, perhap even dead survivors (Lolwut? Dead Survivors? Not quite how 'surviving' works), or a perk that enables you to pilot helicopters. (Seriously, do they teach the Chernerussian kids how to fly choppers in school?) Aesthetic changes to make the world seem like society actually tried to fight the Zombie Apocalypse. Yeah theres a mass grave here and there, military vehicles block the streets and there's dead soldiers in the airfields as well as a red cross camp, but where are the ruined garrisons, the camps where suspected infected were held, the checkpoints on the highways leading out of the major towns and cities where the military was forced to gun down scores of civillians trying to break through when things started to get way out of control. As for weapons, Military grade weaponry would be quite common in the world after Z day, due to the local military presence required to enforce order in areas as yet unnaffected by the crisis as well as efforts to combat and contain the enemy advance. Make no mistake, the Government would consider an uprising of the undead an attack by a hostile force and quickly deploy it's forces against it. (I believe wikipaedia defines a zombie apocalypse 'A general assault on civilization by forces of the undead') Apologies, I've read too much into this topic. Let me end by adding on final idea... Some other way to deploy chemlights and flares than using the 'fire mode' function. Nothing hurts quite so much as losing some nice gear because you threw a chemlight into some bandit's face instead of some 7.62 HIGH VELOCITY!!!

admin of uk135 banned me for spawning vehicle. frankly i have no idea how to do that and even if i did i wouldn't. suggest server admin checks logs and see that i am fair and non cheater player. contact me for GUID admin. Thanks Tom
