I was lucky enough to find a Helix Truck the day vehicles were reintroduced, had fun for a while, but lost it in the days later. it was a good truck.

Non-motor: Bicycle (Very first day I played DayZ, when you respawned with revolver and all) Motor: ATV, probably 2 months after starting DayZ. Yup, vehicles were fucking rare back then... Now I find like, at least one every day. >_>

Application: Name: Reece Age: 16 Location: UK Time Zone: GMT 0 Past experiences in DayZ: I have played for a while, i k now the map pretty well. been part of a clan before which we had multiple vehicles such as ATV's, Bus and 3 bicycles. we established a good tent/camping area. Our weapons were good, such as Bison, M16, AS50 and whatnot. Typical time of playing DayZ in GMT time zone: 2-3 hours a day maybe Additional information (Optional): Dont do drugs oh and my steam is mastercheef11.

I think it would be really cool to add Vehicle armour plating to the game, This would entail using scrap metal to cover up the windows so that they would not be able to be shot through (obviously not to the front windows), so for instance you could fully repair a GAZ but someone can shoot through the windows and kill you, if you choose to add scrap metal to windows most guns cannot shoot through it (the ones that can probably being the M107 and the AS50) meaning you could survive longer, but if there had to be a minus, perhaps add a feature where the added weight would make the vehicle slower, And i would say that these upgrades can only be done to the following vehicles: GAZ, Military Off road, Bus, Off road pickup truck, Old hatchback, Pickup truck, S1203 van, Skoda, Tractor, UAZ, Ural Civilian and the V3S Civilian. I would like to know what others think about this so please comment below :3 Kenny.

Here's what is going to happen. Either they will just keep banning people who find their camp and saying it is always due to hacking. Or people are going to go to that spot mentioned and there wont be anything there because they are using this time to "check for mistakes of banning people" to move their stuff. What makes me chuckle is at first they kicked me for getting to their camp. The ban did not occur until I started looting their vehicles. The first ban notification said "cheating". when I tried logging in after that they changed it to "cheating/hacking". So if we put their base camp on blast i.e. [Their base camp with all of their vehicles was just south of malinovka with 3 vehicles and a UH-1H] and see how many people get banned for looking there. Or they will unban people after they "check the logs for improper bans" aka move all of their stuff to a new location so that people don't steal everything. Either way its still admin abuse and rather disheartening that you find a base full of stuff to loot and the admins have to be poor sports about it and can't handle losing anything and have to ban people when they find it.

The one that I talked to I actually ran into on a low pop server, 6/50 people and it was night time no less. One killed me and then I ran into this different one a little later. It's not always about audience size. They were there for the vehicles (which that server had a lot of, according to him.)

I will give you the common responses, it is an alpha, wait for stand alone, QQ, and you mad. On a more serious note I understand your frustration but you could have avoided the whole mess by reading the section on bugs, vehicles are completely broken in the newest patch. They will disappear on restart so why even bother finding a chopper knowing this will happen (it happened to me before I knew of the problem, found a chopper and saved it in a safe location, then server restart and it was gone). That is probably how you found three choppers in the first place, no one else wants to waste time on something that will be gone very quickly. As far as hackers, seriously wait for the standalone to make a final judgement. Besides minor tweaks hackers are going to continue on the mod, but the standalone may be able to eliminate a great deal of the hacking problem. I know this is the broken record response but it is not a polished product, it is an alpha.

Making this thread to promote our server. There is no lag, very very fast loading (paid extra to hosting company for this) And there is almost always an admin in. DE 615 which has been up now for about 3 weeks. We (admins) took a lot of vehicles and fixed them up and hoarded them (Realising our mistake of not leaving much for other players), we decided to blow them all up so they respawn in a few days. We took every vehicle we came across because, well, we couldnt resist. Having more vehicles for random player we thought would give them more reason to come back and call our server home. We dont shoot unarmed newbies, but will be rather aggressive if we stumble upon armed survivors/bandits in the area we happen to be in. We have very good cheat detection scripts in place (server side) and hackers will be banned from the server with a global ban application made immediately with server logs used as evidence. We also have our own website where if you suspect someone of cheating you can log the time of the incident, post on our forums and we will check for any wrong-doing. Look forward to a more populated server! It gets dark at about 9-10pm GMT Vetran Settings, Crosshair enabled, no player name display, 3rd person Active. Our website is www.1hw.co.uk

Hello, I am a decent DayZ player and I am looking for some teammates, it doesen't matter what gear you have. :rolleyes: We comm trough Teamspeak. As we grow bigger we will get some vehicles and a nice camp. I also need to mount a rescue mission because my friend is stranded on devils castle. If you want to teamup with me, Contact me on steam; 'crazy_nelis' Thank you ;3

Probably a scripter but it sounds like he did not have God mode on because he fell. If that happens again make sure to shoot him after he falls to finish him off, he might have just gone unconscious and then logged off to die on a low population server so he could retrieve gear. The car thing is weird because even if you destroy the vehicle you will see a smoking shell of the car, but vehicles are buggy so it might have just been a glitch.

I disagree with this suggestion. There are far more interesting things to develop than put more stuff on the map to randomly kill players who got a vehicle (seriously, I never saw anyone driving a vehicle, despite I have one myself hidden somewhere in the servers mass, that I use as a tent). Maybe some stuff to blow the wheels and lock the car down, but anti tank mines? Seriously, why would a survivor want to destroy other people vehicles? Would you do that in a zombie apocalypse? Go play Arma, Battlefield or whatever games has mines for a righteous purpose. Not a zombie apocalypse game.

As of 1.7.2.5 Any vehicle/tent will not save that is a new spawn. Previous vehicles/tents will revert back to there last save from 1.7.2.4 after a restart/shut down. This is a know hive problem with connections to a 1.7.2.5 running server. It has been documented and in the bug section of the forums. It seems your vehicle was one that was a fresh spawn after the server updated to 1.7.2.5 I recommend if you are trying to find a regular server to call home. To gather gear and store it. Rollback to 1.7.2.4 and find a server running it.

I was at the gamescom and talked to Matt Lightfoot. Thanks for the small talk with you Matt. I enjoyed it. Good boy :) He told me there will be an update after the guys coming back from the gamescom. They had the new version, 1.7.3 i think, at theire stand for testing. This version still had the graphic glitches. There is nothing to find on the forums about a new release or a hotfix. Rocket seems to have time for developing on the standalone and give a mass of interviews. But he, or any other member of the dev-team, do not have the 5 min. to make a statement to the current state of the mod and what will happen now with it. 1.7.2.5 is unplayable because of vehicle and tents not storing there inventory. Vehicles are not spawning or reseting after a server restart. Player skins changing sometimes and let you lose your stuff. Zombies aggroing from miles away even if you prone. Items where duped from 1.7.2.4 saves in vehicles and tents and you can´t overwrite them. And so on.... Battleye working hard on there anti-cheat-engine and release updates frequently. And they fix bugs immediatly as we seen last night or a few days ago. This mentality is missing right now from the dev´s. Before 1.7.2 comes out, your update frequency was very good and you where present in the forums. But now all is going quiter here from the dev´s. There are just a few moderators that are working with dangerous half knowledge. Sorry for that mods, but it isn´t really your fault i think. Rocket and other Dev´s. Please let us know what you plan to do with the mod right now. Do we get an update or hotfix? Will you let the mod die? Thanks in advance Polli

I can see why people would want to walk away at this point. This mod is following absolutely no development structure, it's simply a case of Rocket throwing in random stuff to see what happens. There are currently a myriad of issues that could cause you to lose all your items, vehicles, tents etc. Worst case scenario? Simply logging on to a server could kill you and respawn you outside the map. Over the last few days myself and some friends have invested 2-3 hours per evening trying to aquire tents, items and just ONE vehicle to set up a base camp on a server we want to call home. Thanks to the issues created with 1.7.2.5 all that effort was lost when the server admin decided to make an unanounced server restart. The mod is currently so buggy that almost ANY player action can result in death. Open a door? death. Climb a ladder? death. Vault a fence? Death. Walk onto a rock? Death. Log into a server? Death. These are key issues that need to be addressed. Honestly, who gives a flying fuck about adding in dogs when there are all these issues at hand? It's probably just going to be another game mechanic that kills me or at least breaks my legs anyway. I'm hoping with Rocket being employed by Bohemia Interactive, the standalone will follow a more professional development structure. I'd personally be quite happy if all work on this mod stopped today, if it would be beneficial to the development of the standalone.

I havent seen a hacker to date.. Been a little over a month and a half since I started playing. I completely agree that this game has many bugs that should be dealt with immediately, but seeing how in a few months the standalone will be out I cant really see why he would continue to devote as much time and effort into something that isnt going to generate anymore income for BI. I honestly can only think of one bug that is left in this game that really has a negative effect on my game play and that is the tents and vehicles not saving equipment. If they can fix this one bug I am sure this game will be just as enjoyable as it was two weeks ago.

DE 905 is run by [MGO] Last night me and a friend had hid two vehicles on a peak near Pobeda dam, And we noticed several flat tents where we parked our trucks. This morning me and my friend logged in and saw a death message. One of the MGO dudes was killed. With out notice we got "session lost" and the server was restarted. When we logged in again, the tents were erect and full of loot. We filled our truck and GTFO. Went to Gorka. Hid the truck and started looking for spare parts. Then a Bus went through the town, and someone stole our truck. I fired on both the bus and truck, and after they were safe behind a hill, Every one without the [MGO] tag where kicked of the server.

I want to know whether there is any bonuses to the 5rnd NATO mags because both are pretty much one shot kills and the 5rnd NATO mags have 5 less bullets do they damage vehicles more or something?

We are ALWAYS looking for both vehicles to get to patients, even bicycles or boats. What we would prefer? Tractors, vans and UAZs and tents FILLED with parts. If you do happen to fix up a car or find a bike, hide them and a send a PM to any of the TMW medics or go into the TMW TeamSpeak and wait for someone to talk to you.

33-50% of the game is currently disabled due to issues that popped up with version 1.7.2.5. Can't save items to tents and can't save vehicles. In effect you can run around, collect stuff on your player, kill zombie and other players but forget about creating a camp for your group or acquiring vehicles......except for short term use. Most of our community has quit playing because the update killed a lot of the objectives of the game. I have to wonder if they are going to fix these issues or if they have sidelined mod development in favor of working on the standalone game. Maybe they are going to leave the game handicapped like this for now.

I don't know about vehicles, but tents on the new patch are saving items just fine. I just tested it with a brand new tent. 1. Pitch tent. 2. Place item(s) in tent. 3. Save tent one time. 4. Don't take or add item(s) until after server reboot. (In fact leave the tent alone until after step 5.) 5. Scheduled server reboot. 6. Check tent ... voila, items saved. And remember, tents are not only tied to the main hive and the server they're pitched on, but to the particular body that set up the tent. Only that person can save and/or remove the tent. Once that body dies and you've respawned you've lost all control over that tent. The tent (and all gear inside) continually respawn after every reboot. The only way for a tent to disappear is if no one adds or removes an item for a full week. I'm running the most updated versions, both server and client, with zero tent saving issues. I'll try it on vehicles tonight and see what happens, but after everything I've read about vehicle glitches I don't have a clue how that will work out.

Tents and Vehicles are not saving with the current Hive/Dayz version. It's pretty annoying, but yeah...until the next update not much we can do. We've lost about 4 camps of gear now and numerous vehicles, helis...

Making a poll here Should all of dayZ be wiped and set back? A lot of people are complaining that with the unlimited ammo and duping that was happening in an earlier version, people ae just to well equipped at the time So, do you want a complete reset of tents, gear, vehicles etc. or not? or just when duping is completely fixed? feel free to post comments

Those stats are way off, I've seen over three different UAZs in single servers. Average amount of vehicles per server is 20-30.

I have been looking at the DayZ Wiki and i have been particularly been interested at the vehicle section, but it says that most vehicle's are rare and only one spawns (Link:http://www.dayzwiki.com/wiki/Vehicles), i was wondering if this was true, because having say only 1 GAZ seems very strange as there are 12 ATV's, i would really like to know if these stats are true.
