Environments change your perspective on things quite a bit once you realize that you are playing with people that believe they are better off alone with one can of beans and a lee enfield then with a group of friendlies with fully automatic weapons and vehicles. Go figure.

Afaik, what's not getting saved is the content (Gear) of tents and vehicles when their ID number is over a certain range. The position of tents and vehicles are saved without issues. OPs vehicles were most likely stole... Had their ownership reallocated.

I don't think you haven't played enough because my group sees vehicles at their spawn areas a lot. This is not the best way, however. Fixing up cars, though mentally rewarding, is tedious and dangerous even at night. The best way like the others have mentioned here is to take advantage of other people's hard work and steal already fixed-up ones. Northern and western forests. Bring like 3 cans of pop 3 cans of food and you'll find a vehicle/camp inside of an hour.

I never use vehicles unless I find one fully operational. However I have noticed almost every time I spawn at Stolich there seems to be a blue wagon or white truck parked right under the gas station with missing tires. Might be worth checking out in a few servers.

So with an offroad capable vehicle completely fixed up it is now time to do crashed helicopter searching (with 20+ people on the server and shots being heard at the NWAF, i cannot go there atm) First crash site: south west of stary sobor in a field. 1 pile of medical loot + m14 AIM even though there were no DMR mags at the crash site, i believe they are common enough to warrant me switching out my shotgun for the m14. Then as i continued to search for more crash sites............ Yes, even the Ural is still available on this server. Having no luck finding a second crash site (i am guessing theyre in or very close to the NWAF) i decided to hide my truck and call it for Day 1. total time invested into character: 5 1/2 hours total vehicles found: 6 total crash sites found: 1 total rare items found: 2 (ghillie, mtn dew) (humanity got put back to -300k when i put on ghillie btw)

All other vehicles and tents are fine and have always been. It's only the chopper that's being buggy and I got told by support staff to create the issue, if you would have read the post after the jump you would have noticed. So don't jump the gun Mr Internet Police.

Vehicles hoarding is a non issue. Every single player that hardly ever gets a vehicle are the ones that complain about it. I bet you anything that you would hide a vehicle at any cost if it meant you could come back to it the next day. If you had the chance to hide 2 vehicles you would as well. Not to mention that we earn our vehicles. We can't dupe vehicles, we can't even server hop to find a server with one, we need to find them on our own server before others do. I don't see any problem at all.

Can i set the time with their servers? Do servers come with vehicles as standard or do you still have to add them?

What about saving vehicles and heli positions on map ?

Inventory will save in vehicles, no matter what! Will this fix our vehicles? Are we allowed to make these changes?

Vehicles not saving is a problem on every server since 1.7.2.5

Here's a simple guide on how to find vehicles. 1 - Look up the vehicle spawn map 2 - Get a bunch of your friends to help you 3 - Everyone picks a vehicle spawn and moves there 4 - Everyone server hops until they find a vehicle 5 - Read the bible 6 - ???? 7 - Prophet It's not that hard.

the cheat was detected by battleeye since few days , but i wasnt banned because i used my own source and injected the reading memory process of my tool in a low level driver kernel (like a rootkit). only the script kiddies got banned on that one. im still alive but not stupid i wont use it anymore. i was just reading memory process. people who got banned on that used the original source code and got instant banned. it was coded and tweaked in visual studio 2010 c++ then injected in a low level driver rootkit to avoid battleeye scans. ( i wasnt sure if battleeye was looking for the function i was using or looking at a process signature but after the instant ban i saw on kiddies i can pretty much tell they got busted by signature scanning.) script kiddies got banned but not me i admit im not the best coder on earth , but i can write some , i am more specialized in stealth and hidding methods and this explains why im still here while all the people who leaked that code are gone. can i have my ten meats now ? new battle eye function is for scripting and we are here speaking about teleporting / aimbot : locators it won't change anything actually. as a veteran player and the numbers of game i played i can tell you i know the difference between a bug server that has nothing spawned and need a restart and a unealthy server that got hacked with all vehicles destroyed. dont make me be what i am not when you dont even know my experience of the game. is quite easy to judge people and believe stupid myth and from what i seen you never get there yourself to check if it was the case or not risking your account to get banned , so next time before accusing me of nonsense , just try it ;) i actually see 2 different kind of players -casual that don't play the game enough to go over 10hours+ survival those players wont die , they are rarely target of hackers (except when they are bored) at that casual gamerate you will survive full weeks (and that happened to me asweel when i was a newb) -veterans , as rocket said once you seen every aspects of the game and you are fully geared you then move on another type of gameplay : player killing, human hunt. those veterans have usualy 10hours + survival and are fuly geared / NVG / coyote / range finder / any sniper + thermal gun (ready for swtich in backpack) those veterans are target of frustrated hackers "Oh noes another pk let me be the justice and kill him" this is is scenario that is happening to me everytime i am fully geared and 10hour+ of survival this scenario never happens with shitty gear. tonight i just died instantly after loging in electro for a player hunt. i noticed the hacker only killed me on the server which i presume the guys must be thinking they are player killer hunters or police or whatever (i can't tell whats going on in a 16yo fag head) my 2 cents , but ghillie + full stuff = instant death for me on any servers (except the one that have 3players) but this is pretty contradictory as rocketsaid the only goals left when you see the entire game is pvp so i just guess i have to stop right now as i can't explore that aspect of the game. only way for me to pvp actually is get a lee enfield and kill newbs for hours. if i take my 10hours + survivor fully geared the pvp session will stop even before it started. Wake up fanboys.... wake up.....

One or two people have a vehicle ... that's ok? but a clan of 10+ people have 4 or 5 vehicles ... that's hoarding? I don't see your logic. Finding vehicles isn't hard. Keeping them, is. The more vehicles you have, the harder it is to hide them and the easier it is to find them. I believe there are 22 vehicles on every official server. It's not that hard to find at least one, assuming that the people who have them aren't storing them off map.

So once I wanted to find a vehicle. On Monday I went up north and started to search through every single town and city. It took me a week of endless stalking on different servers and checking every single shack to find absolutely NOTHING. So my suggestion for the game is to have significantly more vehicles thus on worst condition. It will still need people to put some labor and cooperation to fix these, but at least having a vehicle would be possible in the game. Seriously, having a large backpack stuffed with all sorts vehicle parts for two weeks and finding no car eventually is such a pain.

I usually play in a group of two, yet I have 'owned' between 10-20 vehicles, mostly stolen. There are only a handful of vehicles which can be remotely hidden, it really isn't hard to come across them if you put some time and effort into it. Blaming people for hoarding vehicles is quite silly too, with the amount of .50 cals around currently you must be absolutely retarded to drive anything but a bicycle or motorcycle around the place with more than 10-15 people on the server. We took out four active vehicles in the past two days alone, and there is nothing whatsoever you can do if you find yourself in that situation, so what other choice do you have but to keep them hidden unless the server is almost empty?

While looking around for a server for me and my friend to play on without disconnecting every 4 minutes, we laid down in some woods and moved onto the next server, which at the time had about 2 other players on. As we logged in, it was dark and difficult to see. We get our bearings and all of a sudden, we found a bus in the middle of the woods. We had spawned in some persons camp, complete with a tent with a rocket launcher in it (no ammo), and the fully repaired GAZ and Bus. We were shocked and looked around for any players. We didn't find any so we raided the camp, finding zero loot besides the launcher. After some debate, we took the GAZ for a joy ride. Upon our travels, we came across a turned over ATV next to a sign. We couldn't flip it over, so we checked it for loot and continued on our path. Not more than 2 minutes later, we found ANOTHER ATV, this one also on its side, but was able to be flipped. So now we had a perfect condition GAZ and ATV in our possession. We decided to head for the auto factory south of Polana to look for Jerry Cans and additional parts. On our way, we found a drivable Tractor as well! Talk about luck with vehicles. After some couple of minutes of traveling, we decided to switch servers again cause it was causing massive problems in terms of dc'ing us. So instead of just leaving the vehicles on the road, we blew them up with a grenade. What a blast. (Pun intended) *NOTE: To the possible owner of that GAZ, thanks for the fun times. ;)

i have a server with my clan and we only have like 2 vehicles and one motorbike.

Found a huge camp in northeastern woods, north of Berezino. Me and my accomplice waited for half an hour at the camp, having satchel charged all the vehicles. Luckily, there were various tents filled with 50 satchel charges, 50 g36s, etc etc. Finally, a huey arrives and lands, we blow the cars, kill one of the "camp owners" and steal the huey. Less than two minutes later I get session lost. Play fair, dudes.

I was going to say hacks. Meh, as long as it's for a video I don't really give an F*. The cop car need a barrier between the front n' back seats. =P Fun stuff though! I've always wanted kind of run a society version of DayZ with cops n store owners, while people choose what houses they want to live in and maybe own vehicles or have to buy them. It'd be dope once I get bored of DayZ. If that could ever happen!

I think one of the greatest problem with vehicles are the spawn points. Everybody knows where to get that bike, that Ural truck, the cars, everything. I say vehicles spawn points should be random as with the heli crash sites. That would make it much more difficult and rewarding to EVERYBODY playing the game (except the hackers, of course). Also, vehicles not used (saved) within two days should just re-spawn.

- Fix zombies not spawning in locations which you drive in by yourself/s in a vehicle so you wouldn't be able to tell if there is players already in there , no zombies no players move on z, so annoying when u drive to the middle of a ghost town major city with few people u get out and surprise welcome party by 50 zombies spawning, . - Make 1 boss zombie spawn per city with buffed HP and damage with special skin not like tank of l4d built but enough to shit yourself going in there by yourself and need 1 -3 people to take it down and it drops good supplies and maybe a coyote or alice, maybe a big hillbilly zombie. - More zombies in major cities too easy to move around, plus that addition of special zombie in there will make it hard to loot main cities making it more realistic. - Revamp damage for snipers and add cross wind to make it harder to snipe and stop long range campers. - Make trunks or contains constructible to put loot in, maybe add iron u can find like in quarry or something plus tools, so they're non squishy like tents. - MAKE VEHICLES KILLS count toward your score especially in Huey killed so many and it doesn't count or running bandits over. - Fix Zombies being transparent and going through everything. - Have the apartments in the game fully accessible I mean every room that would be sick having a gunfight in there. - Make it so you can take parts out of a vehicle rather than just putting them in. - You cant get killed by opening a door into yourself when your standing - Put a Uni-cycle in the game and when you get on it your skin turns to a clown and the horn makes a honking noise so you can aggravate whole cities of zombies.

^ The red barn yea? I was ambushed there once, didn't end well for the other guy, but yes, it's a great location. Ambushing near stary is pretty much the best place, many players and vehicles, you could also ambush at Oldfields, there is a high chance for a helicopter crah site spawning there, i've ran into many there.

I dunno how a survivor would get his hands on UAV and the UAV control center/vehicle with both being intact. It is a little too much tech to put back together. Besides looks overpowered for dayz gameplay :) But the video has some other very cool things that could hint at possible standalone features: - New firing positions : 1:48 - New pyrotechnics : 4:13 - Underground structures: 4:55 - Items being placed in different places in a vehicle : 5:25 - Specific dismount points for vehicles : 5:40

Nope, vehicles nor tents are saving until they fix it. Everything resets after a restart.... only grab a vehicle and go through the hassle of fixing it if you plan on using that session only.
