So my friend and I had just been through the factories looking for car parts. We are driving away in our offroad when suddenly... "no message received for 5--10--15 seconds". We both abort. I know for a fact that it was a server restart, because of that and the fact that there was an admin online [he goes by the name 'Ambient']. He didn't give ANYONE any warning. When you load into the server it doesn't say "server restart will occur without warning" or such a phrase. So we wait for it to go back up and hop back in. We both load in and...Chris is kicked for a ping of 280. This didn't happen earlier. For around a few seconds I had 600 ping earlier today on the same server but I wasn't kicked. He constantly gets kicked for ping and I'm stuck on loading three times on the same server. tl;dr-- admins who ARE ONLINE AND INGAME that don't give warnings for a server restart are complete dicks. -- admins who place ping limits of less than four hundred are complete dicks. Rant over. We may now have lost several vehicles and high value weapons. I DON'T HAVE MY BICYCLE ANYMORE.

I think it'd be an interesting factor, I mean just imagine a group of bandits taking it over and using it as a base. Sure people would KNOW it's a bandit base, but damn...Just imagine all the boats, choppers, vehicles over there for personal use. And then imagine night time, a group of five get a chopper and they go drop off two, to sabotage and take out loot. Some night vision, stealth ops, it'd be beautiful! Just imagine, snipers on walls or buildings or whatever, a few guys roaming around, a few leaders discussing next actions, foragers coming back and forth with guards, and most of all? NO ZOMBIES! I can just imagine what it'd be like to make a tradeing port of sorts, people can sail out with their materials and go trade once some blokes organize a group to defend the trade grounds and kill people who start conflicts. It'd be almost like Mad Max xD

I do wish there was a middle-ground to even out the advantages of 3rd person. And I do have a solution that has little been seen in games from the past. To try and put it basically, everything that you'd be able to to see from 1st person appears as normal. The environment that you wouldn't be able to see from 1st person is discoloured and blurred. With any mobile entities like people and vehicles being invisible entirely until out of the blur (viewable fom 1st person). The blur wouldn't be so intense that you'd feel strangled, but certainly enough to acknowledge. Here I've pulled a picture from google images. Note the commonly known advantage of seeing threats undetected using a disembodied view. Here I've altered the picture (a million hours in Paint) to vaguely demonstrate what I'm trying to describe. The difference from this picture is that the greyed area would instead be blurred and discoloured, with the man in the distance giving no visual indication at all. The pros: -3rd person players are far less likely to supernaturally percieve threats. -People can get a good understanding of spatial awareness without giving themselves a breaking advantage. -The partial blur can help new players learn about cover that veterans already had memorised. The cons: -The behavior of the blur would intially be disorienting. Especially where foliage is concerned. -Some players may still suffer over others due to their selected field of view. Edit: I should also make a point that I'm suggeting this as a TERTIARY view mode. Not a replacement for the well-liked, current 3rd person.

yeah i thought more pepsi spawns in there though so maybe someone was there. the military vehicles spawn with the goods uaz has alot of ammo and 10 rgo grenades and the military offroad has 20 stanags

I still haven't came across that many vehicles. I guess people hid them away at edge of the map. Got chased by a chopper a few minutes after some server restarted, pretty scary. Also, changed back to civillian clothes and found out i have the "Hero" skin with white shirt. so easy to get spotted... Is there any plan on seperating to groups? I'm guessing most of us don't know each other yet so.

Yeah i can confirm the items in the URAL at the spawn point and i can also confirm that probably everything you put in there will be GONE after a server restart on 2.5 ... hide the vehicles and wait until its save to store stuff ... or put in useless items and see if they are still there after the server restart ...

me and my group are very experienced and in vehicles we found gernades food various ammo types.

Does anyone have a vehicle on US 9? We have searched literally every spawn for one and havent seen a single one drive around. Maybe the server isnt making vehicles?

I presume the server is running the latest patch so keeps reverting to the state it was in just prior to the update. They won't stay removed till devs sort it out and hopefully release a fix in the next patch Edit: see 'tents and vehicles not saving' - also if you are the admin, revert it to the last patch then remove it.

Woah wait... you mean vehicles actually SPAWN places? I thought they only spawned in admin camps :o

So we found a Ural but we were surprised to see it had a little fuel in it and 10 Coke, 1 Pepsi, 5 Wood Piles, and a Hatchet. We thought that someone was here before us, but then we remembered that the Huey spawns with 5 Coke, so we thought the Ural might spawn with some stuff too. Has this happened before?

Sya, +Ben+, and myself have now established a nice little convoy of vehicles :) Be ready for possible super-mobile medics on the morrow! Good luck everyone, keep on pushing the cause. Even a man who has nothing can still offer his life.

Hey guys, sorry for the delay in response. There has been a problem with the server, and we have been working on the issue, as it stands, the server will most likely not be coming up due to a problem with the Instance ID on the server, we have moved to US2379. Unfortunately, it is a new map / clean wipe, which means all items saved on US199 are no longer in the area. The server is also running on 1.7.2.4, beta 95883 due to a bug with 1.7.2.5 where all tents and vehicles are not saving after restarts, and are wiped / despawned (this is a 1.7.2.5 bug, which is why we are on 1.7.2.4 again.) We are sorry about any issues or inconveniances this may have caused you, and we hope to see you in Chenarus some time again soon. Sincerely, US2379 Admins, formerly US199.

At approximately 10 p.m. Eastern time I encountered a hacker on two occassions on US 416. The first time I was procuring a bicycle and out of nowhere a UAZ appeared honking at me attempting to run me down. I dismounted and killed the driver. His name was [saH] WalkingDead and his GUID is 09fa7512e2ed8d50278a7edcc1176dbf. Now, I had no reason to suspect him of hacking at this point, until.... Some friends were helping me find some parts for the UAZ, as its engine and tires were damaged. One of them was at the Northeast Airfield (not far from where I killed WalkingDead), when a tractor appeared. Turning around, I found the UAZ had vanished. As I approached the airfield my friends were killed one by one. I gave chase when the tractor drove away, but suddenly, in the middle of a random field I noticed a player appear, then go prone, face my immediate direction and fire a DMR. I fired back, and while his shot missed, mine was a headshot and [saH] WalkingDead died again, from friendly fire this time? Why I KNOW he was a hacker: -2 vehicles within 10-15 minutes -Regained NVGs, and GPS within 10-15 minutes -Systematically wiped out my friends, when only one of them had fired at him and all three had ghillie suits and were prone inside trees around the North East Airfield -Blatantly teleporting in front of me. Fortunately he was a terribad shot. Admins feel free to PM me with any questions.

Well let me say this I am sooooooooooooooooo tired of running around server after server and finding NO vehicles and I am talking about checking 20 -30 spawn spots.... but I figured out why its hacks.... yesterday i joined my buddy who had a truck on a server and found a downed chopper so went to loot it while my buddy stayed in the chopper. Well within 15 secs of me getting out he and the truck where GONE to some spot up north..... apparently someone was spawning or teleporting ALL the vehicles in the server and loading them with stuff while spawning teleporting whatever.... he saw a sniper guy on the edge of a field with like a parking lot of vehicles boats included... and he logged out fast... so I told him go back in and try and kill him. But here is the funny part apparently the hacker dropped a car or something on himself and had killed himself accidently while spawning stuff OR he had grabbed some vehicle and driven off not sure but someone did die secs before my friend got back in the server. Anyway my point? Well I think the reasons we never find vehicles is these aholes are spawning them all to get stuff in them and so there arent any vehicles at any spawns..... this is ridiculous and pathetic but I am so tired of running across the maps checking for vehicles when my chance of getting one is pretty much nil due to this type of behavior..........

Hello Gazoo, Sorry about the ban, you're unbanned now. We were suddenly teleported right above you in the helicopter, so we weren't sure if you were hacking or not, since teleportation of vehicles aren't logged on our server.

i'll try to get fraps and show you how unealthy are most of the servers that i'll choose randomly. i can film this. i will also try to fraps a funny one showing what you can expect at almost any airfield in the game wearing a ghillie x) (5 to 10min life expectation) won't be dificult to record it , numbers said here are a low level of sample so it definitly not big enough to make any conclusion but from my experience with stats i can tell the factor "dying to teleporting hacking" occurs actually way too much and doesent need any sample higher than 100 to be revelant due to the crazy actual number of hackers. ;) the only one i wont fraps is vehicle stashing as it took me a full week to try and gets to much time to fraps again. for people who doesent believe this one just save 5 vehicles on different low pop servers and you will see that , 1 or 2 wil not save , the other will save but get destroyed or steal to hacker next or same day usually only one vehicle will stay (and this one is usually always on healthy maps i saw with hacking tool, by healthy i mean vehicles spawning that seems legits + normal stashing all over map those servers are extremly rare from what i seen hackers didn't ruined those. another important fact to the whole study is the ghillie suit , i know it might sound stupid but many people will stay out trouble since they wear none which explain their "hole loads of pvp without any problems" as soon as the hackers see that damn "sniper tag" on their screen it attracts them like sharks. i am wearing ghillie 99% of the times. when i don't wear it hacker doesent target me. as soon as i wear one + approching any pvp place i will die in the next 10 minutes. veteran players of the game might understand what i actually means as i suppose they have loads of ghillies they might have noticed that noticeable difference .

YouTube Video Trailer: Being Edited Website in construction Last Resistance There's only us and the dead. We survive this by pulling together, not apart. We're surrounded by the Dead. We're among them -- and when we finally give up we become them! If Man does not stand together then we are lost. We have to fight back and liberate Chernarus from the dead, together. We are The Last Of The Resistance. Why we want more: The Last Resistance that consists of more then just the six guy's above is a mature an more older group of players seeking more. Reasons so is because Arma/DayZ can be enjoyed more with other's, more laughs, more fun and to be more serious give us more options to change the way we play. We do encourage older and mature player that are in there 18+ area to join. We do not have a problem with age, we have had members who are younger be an issue but it's not the case. Being of a younger age you will feel out of place, jokes you may not get and don't like the way we play. With more people in The Resistance we can in DayZ do more and be more safe. The Last Resistance is strictly looking for more casual players. We play for fun, laughs and a good time. You don't play video games to stress out and be angry at other's for no reason. The Last Resistance is a place where you can make friends. Guy's who can help and support you, chatting. New to the game or not Last Resistance will help you out no matter. We survive by pulling together, no apart. DayZ: The day the infected came to Chernarus and chaos had struck turning everyone against each other Last Resistance was formed. Players in DayZ whom where all at the beginning alone and had to fend for themselves. Now we all play together as a group, working together, helping other survivors and each other. Never playing alone. We shoot other's when we feel threatened only. As a group the Last Resistance uses there tents in a different way then making camps. Same with vehicles. The Server The Last Resistance is on will not be posted on this thread for the time being. We are a group of guy's not the military with a rank structure. In game if you have a plan and we all agree we do it. We don't follow one man like a lost dog. There's one person who organising things, myself. In a group like ours, when you all get to know each other you no longer fight, argue. We work together. How people should. Other game: We have found ourselves doing much more in Arma lately. It's a huge world and it should be explored by other players in DayZ. Scenarios, there's so many out there, CityLife and much more. Some have exchanged Origin account names an may play BF3 with each other to pass time. We play DayZ allot but there's allot of fun out there in Arma and we have been exploring it. We are a group of guy's playing for fun and to have a good time; not playing serious Completed Goals: Establish Home Server: We have our very own server (North American Server) Obtain Vehicles: Done Base and Base of operation: Done Help Survivors and Eliminate all Bandit Threats: Always needs doing Website: In Construction Banning Hackers: Always doing You don't have to be alone surviving in Chernarus. There are other's out there hunting bandits and helping the survivors.

oh im not saying dont get them, im saying once you have them make use of them cause stashing them wont work. but your right it did sound a little negative, i guess it should have said "Yeah, as has been said already hiding vehicles dosnt seem worth the effort to hide them most of the time" We started out today with a motorbike, but by the end of the night we had found 2 ATVs, 2 Busses, a white car and a tractor... not that we used them all mind you. Did anyone happen to catch our Coach tour of the seafront? going through Cherno was interesting... we took a lot of fire. We ran into a red car with 3 people in it near berizino i think it was, one of them thought it was a fun idea to get out when theres a bus traveling at 70 odd KPH right at him... so that was another road kill, its a shame they dont count as actual kills :P

The radio station idea was discussed in another thread, but I really dig the idea of vehicles having radios that work just like portable radios.

Seems blown up vehicles just come back on server restart. Anyway to make them really despawn so that they'll eventually respawn somewhere else with the default items (none? not sure) in them?

I've been playing the game for over a month and I've never met a confirmed hacker. On my recently bought server the vehicles don't spawn yet and when I saw a chopper today I reset it while it was in the air. I might be lucky... I usually played on servers with 10-20 people during the day, 4-8 night. I've had my share of pvp.

Hello Survivers! Today my squad (Krosser Genossen Bund) and I drove around in our GAZ singing some Queen stuff (means I annoyed my friends in Skype..) and I looked through the windshield on the dusty street. But suddenly my eyes cought the very ugly textured radio inside our ride and I told my friends, that having a radio broadcasting system inside DayZ would be great. And this is my detailed idea: Every vehicle and some locations of public interest (e.g. super market, hospital, train stations...) gets it's own radio to receive a public broadcast, that is hostet from a broadcasting station somewhere in Chernarus (I recommend Green Mountain). I know, there is already this creepy morse code and so on, but my idea is to have peeving Russian folk music to be heard all around the countryside. Also survivors could walk into the broadcasting station to switch the played song and may even talk into a microfon so they could be heard by every listener. -- Turindo

At first, I think "I'd love to see a little bird in DayZ." Then I realize "I will never see a little bird in DayZ.". Because vehicles aren't found on the map, they're found in clusters made by hoarding clans. :(

Hello! I've gotten banned from the server SE 47 as the topic states. It's my "home" server I guess you could call it. Anyway, the server has been down the whole day today and when it finally got back online and I tried to connect to the server I got an error message saying I've been banned for scripting :o. I have never scripted and intend to keep it that way. I have not used scripted weapons etc. The only thing I can think of that might be suspicious is that after the server resets there was 2 vehicles that spawned on a road. So basically everytime I played there was vehicles there which me and my friends obviously grabbed. I dont think that is an valid offence though cause even though we drove them away and saved them somewhere else they turned into bicycles/other vehicles and some even turned into dust and then respawned back on the road. It's the road that goes south a bit east of Gorka and go through Polana if that matters. Thanks! PS. I guess a name could be good so you can look further into it. I have been playing under the name "Matte" and recently switched to "Pungkula Flashmaster"
