Hey, do you medics need a hand? I would love to help you guys out, either by getting supplies, fixing up vehicles, or providing over-watch on any healing you do, (Can't stand people that act friendly then back-stab someone). At the moment I don't really have many people to play with, and being a lone wolf is a bit tedious at times. But yeah if you want/need anyone else to give you a hand from time to time, hit me up, and I'll see what I can do.

We've given them feedback already and they know about the issues. But waiting for several weeks for a minor hotfix doesn't cut it. 1.7.2.5 is totally unplayable and 1.7.2.4 is working "okay". So why should we keep 1.7.2.5 and stop playing while waiting for the next patch when we can just rollback and keep having fun while waiting? Worrying about stupid tent? My group fully repaired a helicopter 4 times and several other vehicles as well. And every server restart they keeps going back to their spawning position in a broken state. We wasted too many hours fixing those vehicles and it's all for nothing. 1.7.2.5 is messed up. The tents resets them selves in 1.7.2.4 too. Annoying yes but not a big deal. Vehicles not saving their positions however is a BIG deal. When we went back to 1.7.2.4 everything was perfectly fine regarding the vehicles. The graphics glitches are just as bad in .5 as in .4. The whole forum is already flooded with bug reports so you don't really make any sense. But if you want to keep playing on a buggy version then by all means do so. Even though it doesn't make any sense. <_<

Don't need to server hop to find items but vehicles... I question your claims. There are multiple scenarios that can happen in this game, the server owners can horde all the vehicles and shut down the server whenever one is stolen, a clan can horde them all, teh server might not be fully whitelisted so no vehicles are spawned what so ever.... there are vehicles but they're hidden or waiting to respawn. You might get lucky but out of the 100s of servers I have played I have found two helicopters and a bus, one helicopter was hacked along with the bus and the final helicopter was on skalisty island at that spawn. I've played so many hours of this game looking for vehicles, I always scan the vehicle spawns when I am nearby and I have only found one legitimate vehicle. I've found vast camps with 10-20 tents full of gear beyond your wildest dreams but no vehicles. If I wanted a vehicle badly I would server hop till I found one and set up home and stay on that server. Just like I have done on Lingor I've set up home on one server and on that server I also have a vehicle but that vehicle is barely even hidden, all someone does is need to go off road by about 50m near a large POI and they will find it sitting at the base of a hill, just its good to know vehicles exist on that server and that is why I am staying. Its not even a case of me not finding vehicles myself, the only vehicles I have seen other people using are hacked ones on DayZ and I've been playing a lot for the past 3 months so... Serverhopping is lame for ghosting and in some sense even loot spawns but this is alpha, I've seen countless times where the entire server was void of loot, are you suggesting people should keep looking even though the server is broken indefinitely (until restart)... no you would log and go onto another server but wait you're server hopping! So what defines server hopping? Are you only allowed on one server per night? You need to put the e-honour away, people ghost, hack, glitch, dupe and hop to their hearts content on this game, when the game is in alpha and some of the mechanics aren't polished if someone wants a vehicle are you really asking him to look indefinitely on a server that might not even have any spawned? Pssh

yup - 5rnd nato used for destroying vehicles (cars, heli... etc)

I have found 2 atv's , 1 car and my clan found a heli and repaired it but than a server hopper spawned in our camp because the forums are full of rats that are againts teamwork and they steal our gear and vehicles and all our stuff which we usually go to the coast with and give away to starter players. Since than I have just gathered myself and my friends on teamspeak and we just sit outside elektro and cherno and just have a game of who in the group is the best sniper.

Do the medics need any protection? I know they probably have some already but I will happily keep over-watch for you guys to make sure no-one back-stabs you. And if they do, they will be in worse health than when they started. I need some sort of goal in the game at the moment, so even gathering supplies or fixing vehicles for you guys would make it more interesting. Just send me a message or something, and I will be on later on tonight I hope, so I can give you lot a helping hand.

I get what you're saying, but there's still plenty of stuff to do. How many vehicles/helicopters/boats have you found (original spawns) and repaired to fully-functioning? Have you tried helping new players instead of just killing them? The game is what you make it -- for most people, it's hardcore Call of Duty.

I enjoy Lingor a lot more... -Seems to be a lot less hackers - Private hives are quick (Lingor.tk hive is a bit slow) - Nice big map - Lots of buildings - Lots of lootable buildings - Lots of towns - Lots of POI - Spawn points are on the edge of the island, most people focus going to the centre Calamar/Airfields - Control Towers and Barracks are a lot more common - Easier to pick up and play - A busy server you can encounter a few people To me the map is huge, it has a lot of towns that make the running long distances a bit more interesting, where as normal DayZ on Chenarus there is only a handful of towns worth visiting with most of them with empty buildings. The fact that all buildings are enterable makes looting a bit more interesting, spoilt for choice on what room to go into but not everyone has loot. I find hte problem with Chenarus is if I visit say Polana and I go into the town, there are only 1/2 residential buildings and a supermarket if there is nothing there I'm bummed because all other buildings are useless. So much running a barely any reward. There are also a lot more airfields which makes sense for an island with a military theme, vehicles are easier to come by and there is a highway that allows for quick travel when driving but you are exposing yourself massively (Stole a GAZ and was driving down the highway and got chased by two guys in a military jeep was great fun, lost them on the mountain rounds. To me the map has a much more enjoyable feel to it but it doesn't have the scarce feel of DayZ because it is quite easy to find an AKM within a few minutes of spawning. Though to be honest that scarcity of items and weapons grows tiresome in DayZ when there is only one or two spawns in a "City" because only a handful of buildings can be entered. Chenarus + might change that but I can't help but think they won't be increasing the amount of loot spawns but only spreading out the current spawns through the new buildings which will just making looting so boring. I also think for that reason people are not KOS as much on Lingor, I've come across a few people and had engagements but a lot of the time it turns out friendly and i think that is down to the rarity of items. What I have learnt I think is DayZ and Lingor don't feel to me that they have the replayability factor in a few months time, which causes concern for me... I'm so bored of Chenarus now and knowing they're recycling the map puts a damper on the standalone, unless they stretch it out massively in the surrounding forests I don't think I'll enjoy it as much as Lingor. You're talking about normal DayZ right? That is why I play Lingor now because normal DayZ was so glitched I lost half my items in my backpack from skin changes and I could log out and log back in with a different primary weapon that I dropped a year ago.

Which camp do you mean? Isn't it true that a heroic hacker erased all camps and vehicles? :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Currently, bases are just a tent hidden or glitched into the terrain. I believe that deploying razor wire as a perimeter should not be removable by other players as long as they repair the razor wire every few days. That means that wire can be used for bases but can be destroyed by satchels and is removable in cities. but if maintained you can create actual bases and enclose your vehicles and items

Being a good guy is only hard if you run as lone wolf because then you never know who to trust, but I would hope that most players who know the "hero" costume would be willing to trust the player wearing it. Then again any player who doesn't trust me has less to gain from killing me than from trusting me, I have several good camps, have access to vehicles and have no problems putting myself at risk to save a dying player.

I never understand why people care so much about their stuff, if you don't want someone to steal it stay logged in there playing 24 hours a day. Part of this game is wandering around and having a chance meeting with some poor survivor's base and they are not there maybe because they are raiding a town or just asleep. At the end of the day, if you don't want to lose it keep it on your person when you log out. Razor wire should never be that hard to get past if you have a tool box as you would just open it up and grab some handy and small wire cutters, snip snip i am stealing your stuff :) Having seen the map from an aerial view tents are not hidden very well, tent bases and vehicles are easily spotted from a helicopter barbed wire just makes it easier as someone in the group will probably start artifacting like a boss and we just fly that way. XX Styles (loves robbing other peoples stuff, so much easier than looking for crashed heli's and going to the NWAF)

Cause it's either rolling back, or playing with tents and vehicles (If you're lucky enough to have any on your server)? The only thing that really bugs me here is the lack of answer from any dayZ staff. This is a severe problem that affects many servers and drives people either away to take a break till it's fixed or not play anymore at all. Cause here's the truth: Vehicles, camps are pretty much as "End game" as it gets right now and removing that pretty much rips the soul out of the game. So what you wanna do? Keep using the broken patch for the sake of "Testing" or rollback and have your cars back? Cause there isn't anything to say that hasn't been said yet, it's a HIVE issue that apparently affects instances higher than a certain number. As long there isn't a statement of some sort that the dev team is aware of the issue, I see no other way than to NOT use the patch.

I agree with you, however i guess the only reason why 1.7.3 has been delayed is because graphical bugs are still there (i was told that by a guy who had the opportunity to play it at gamescom) I hope other stuff have been fixed (tent, vehicles, random coast respawn, backpack dupe while wearing camo, .. ) That being said, i reckon dev team have not finished the development of this fantastic mod at all, rather then they are focussing on organizing the huge work for the incoming standalone version.

It is touch and go at the minute. It seems that server restarts can make tents and vehicles not load properly. Keep restarting til they are back and everything works as intended.

Hi all, UK 230 is a relatively new server without a truly established clan of hoarders, yet. Meaning that most vehicles are dotted around the map, saved by single players or small groups. Just this morning in fact, I found a quad parked in a shed near Komarovo as a newly spawned character. Whilst I cannot guarantee a hack-free experience, I can guarantee you that there will be NO admin abuse on our server. We have a grand total of four admins (my brother and two friends), which cover most of the day/evening, whom have been given a specific set of rules: - No hoarding vehicles - No duping - Absolutely no admin abuse, whatsoever. Yesterday, we made the collective decision to roll back to 1.7.2.4 as tents/vehicles weren't saving after the regular server restarts ( I understand everyone's having this problem since 1.7.2.5). This caused many of our regular players to vanish. As such, we've rolled back until the next patch, in which I assume we'll have a fix for that problem! So, without rambling on for too long, the details are as follows: Server : DayZ - UK230 (1.7.2.4 - ROLLBACK/95883) (Veteran|3D:ON|CH:ON) dayzmod.com - Forest Running Simulator 2012 IP : 94.242.227.90:2312 Email : [email protected] Server restarts twice daily, at 8am and 8pm GMT Come and join us! :)

Yestarday me and my brother found 7 vehicles, 1 bus, 2 offroad pickup trucks, 1 tractor, 1 bike, ATV and 1 hutchback. We still have all vehicles but the bike, we never took the ATV because we found the 2 pickup trucks at it. The bus was the only one that didn't look like it was taken, It was fixed up though but parked at the gas station in cherno.

My Wishlist even if some of this already posted: Zombies: 1. Zombies should be way harder to beat, bodyshots just slow Zombies down ONLY Headshots kill them for example. 2. Zombies get attracted by sound on greater range, they do chain reakt in big citys so you HAVE to be quiet going there or you fight all of them :D 3. Zombies should be verry infectious, not like in the movies that you die for sure, but you should getting sick if a dead rotten one scratch or bite you. 4. a bigger variation of Zombies... like some without legs or one arm near headless ones and so on..would be great for the gamefeeling. 5. Zombies use ALL openings in Houses not just one or accidently two 6. Zombie Hordes roaming Loot 1. less loot overall it has to be a real fight to survive as the things are now u can get loot in 30 min to survive forever. 2. make hunting and using Refill- flasks more important. 3. Good Guns should be the hardest thing to get in Day Z. 4. Ammo should be rare to get to avoid run out of ammo you should be able to get them of dead bodys/Zombies with some kind of tool. 5. Crossbows should be more useful 6. maybe a system where simple weapons can be handmade like a Wood Spear or a Bow if you got a Knife or special tool to craft them. Inventory and UI 1. Backpack should be more easy to handle 2. getting items out of your backpack should cost some time so you have to think about what you got on your body and what you put in your backpack 3. some kind of trading window would be nice 4. a stamina bar for running cause i dont belive ppl can run with a 30 kg backpack for 2 hours without a break. Chara 1. Female Skins 2. clothing should be decided by player not random 3. Ghillies and camo maybe selfmade? MAP and Weather 1. Bigger map *g* 2. Most buildings should be accessable 3. Weather impact should be way more important slower movement in Snow and Rain for example or faster need of water/food 4. Rain could be a thread for tunnels and buker if they where placed at the wrong place (happy drowning) Realism 1. House spawning - you spawn in a random city in a house to make the first minutes more exiting and "realistic" like the plague just spread... in this house you have one can of beens and one cola/pepsi sure spawn (and only at spawning for preserve camping) and 2-3 random items like a knife, watch or something like that. 2. first minutes ur are always in panic mode 3. you have no starting gear only the clothes you wear.. 4. weight of items you carry should have an impact on moving that would make building a base more important. 5. more Vehicles but mutch harder to repair. 6. refill tank without cherrys at some places like gas stations 7. nerv bikes 80 kmh downhill with a citybike is a bit over the top xD Bugfixes and Cheaters No need to tell i think :P thats my list sorry for bad grammar

Had this problem with UAZ, ATV, Bike, Ural and Bus. I bet the missing vehicles are buggy too. Without the possibility to save vehicles and tents, DayZ is a useless piece of ...

Yea same as myself i got 3 vehicles saved them left came on today and get this

Had a few issues with the hoster. Worst thing: The servers go in some kind of idle mode when nobody is online - doesn't sound bad at first, but it erases all your tents and vehicles, which means that these servers are NOT able to save vehicles properly in the HIVE. Greatest disadvantage of the hoster! As long as this issue exists Zap-Hosting is not a good choice for DayZ. Maybe for other games, but DayZ is not playable on their servers, not as long as the have this Idle-Mode activated on their servers. I can't figure out why someone would do something like this on DayZ!? Also bad: The support is very fast in editing tickets and do stuff. But just the first time... if the ticket is not solved in first attempt you won't hear anything again, until you open a new one - happened to us: Ticket opened and answered, no solution found in first attempt, no answer anymore - opened a new ticket two days later, same progress like the first - one day later we opened a new ticket (after our old ones have been closed without even trying to solve the problem) and nobody answered anymore our tickets. Two tickets of us stayed completely unnoticed til we had to call the hoster. Then we opened a new one and all they said was that they will forward this topic to another employee. Same here, the ticket was never ever edited again...

Here are 2 suggestions off the top of my head and I'll try to come up with some more later, but wouldn't it be sweet if you could find camouflaged/ Ghillie blankets which could possibly be draped over vehicles in order to hide them from other survivors grubby hands hehe, to make sure this isn't too unfair this would never be in the mod because combined with hiding way off the boundaries of the map it would be totally unfair I think. Secondly what if you could deploy landmines to protect your base? A small wire extends out of the ground that unless someone slowly approaches and disarms with a toolbox would go unnoticed, basically this would serve as a more deadly upgrade to the bear trap and allow additional base/camp defense, Give beans if you like it :P

Oh my god this forum is full of so many whiners. Considering the "I don't know how many blood I have" QQ: You don't know how many blood is in your body right now, do you? Sure an average number is out there but when you hurt yourself you won't be able to say: "I just list 2,343 litres of my blood." You would just feel bad and might lose concious. And that is what happens in the game. When you see that you are not at full colour anymore just eat until it does not get better. And if there is a sniper with a .50cal waiting at the NWAF for you; there is no difference what so ever if you have 10k or 12k. A shot to the body will either kill you instantly or knock you unconscious so the bandit can take the kill shot. No difference there. The "I can't keep track of my kills"-QQ: First of all, if you want just to keep track of your kills use a notepad IN REAL LIFE. That is how I mark things on the map, writing down the coordinates on a little piece of paper. Sometimes i sketch the grid square to not lose vehicles. So do that if you want. There is no need to implement a notepad in the game. And there is no reason this game should give you an indicator if you succesfully killed a guy. It doesn't happen in real life. If you want to know, go ahead and look for the dead body. If you are a bandit and you kill for supplies, that is the risk you have to take. Rocket said that he wants to go away from all those HUD things. If you are cold, you will move slower or shake. If you are sick, you cough. If you are hungry your stomach will have a growling stomach. So deal with these changes.

Vehicles are screwed up BIG TIME in the current version. Yesterday, I was on a bicycle, when the 5 pm gmt restart occured. After relog, the bike was gone, and a completely fixed bus was in the spot where I last put the bicycle. @smKes BTW, the server restart at around 6 pm gmt was manually?!? Would be very nice to announce out-of-the-norm server restarts in the future! I knew it was coming, as you were kicked by BE for trying to spawn a vehicle :P But I think 30 or 60 sec would be enough for _everyone_ to properly save before server shutdown... Thanks :thumbsup:

People seem to assume that because someone has a hacked item, they must be a hacker or a duper. Unfortunately, this is not the case. Over the past months, I've found dozens of tents & many vehicles with hacked items in them. Should we not use the vehicles because they contain hacked items? Remove them, destroy them, they simply respawn after server restarts. I don't use hacked items, but I've certainly given up trying to get rid of them. Just because people use bugged tents or vehicles that contains hacked items, doesn't mean they're dupers or hackers.
