Don't get me wrong I absolutely love this mod/game. That being said, I have already been everywhere and gotten everything. Besides hoarding crap in tents and hoarding vehicles there is really nothing more to do. Surviving is to easy and finding guns and ammo is way to easy as well. Sometimes I will die just to start ove,r only to find myself getting a winchester, blowing someones head off and looting their body for everything I had just had 30 minutes ago before I had originally died. Please make this game harder. Make it so having a gun is something special, and having food/water really worth it. One quick run through any major city will net you a nice gun, a backpack, water bottles, food, hatchet, knife and sometimes even matches and a tent. Not fun when everything is so damn easy to find.

I read on the wiki that loot and zombies don't spawn while driving around in a vehicle. I was wondering, do unclaimed or broken vehicles also not spawn? I've been riding around on an old bike trying to find another vehicle and havent. I was wondering if this might be why. Thanks for the help, as always.

So i guess you'd rather be shot by a DMR, knocked out immediately, then killed by a follow-up shot while you're laying in a pool of your own blood? They aren't overpowered. They are in the game to effectively disable vehicles. It just so happens that a .50 caliber round also absolutely destroys soft tissue. That's life.

Hi, hello we have yet to meet a cheater who has killed all our team and stolen our vehicles. He shoots through walls and trees and using weapons that are not from Dayz. He taunts us with his steam id. His steam id: "piggeh" cordially

Okay so basicly 2 people on US 1841 (Out Dated Server) Called 'Riqueza Mano da XXT' and 'Manolo da [XXT] Chris' and '[XXTs] V for Vegetable' are hacking. Chris keeps dying then teleporting and has killed one of our friends and stole a red UAZ, but before that we found there camp after they stole and from another clan who we are now with, and as soon as I logged off after getting all of our vehicles and items back, 'Riqueza Mano da XXT' Logged on and I logged back in and the 2 big Trucks were gone, I moved the ATV back and they shot me. yesterday they were using a speed hack and killed 2 of my friends and overall they are hacking and need to be dealt with. My name is SwagMonster Wicky, and I got killed at 19:30-19:31 GMT time.

Vehicles are broken. Tents are broken. Graphics are broken. Multiple forms of duping are rampant. Hackers killing or teleporting entire servers is inevitable every time there's a decent population on one. It's damn close to 'unplayable' and we've seen essentially zero progress from the DayZ staff for about a month. Did get a nice update that made it more difficult to catch cheating and hacking though. Can't imagine why people aren't playing.

I would like to appeal for the ban of a whole clan known as XXT that also play on the server US 1841. The reason is, they are the only other people who play on the server that my clan (and our allied clan) are on. We have been hacked twice now, and they are the only people on the server. I spent all of today finding cars that they stole from us, and succeeded. We then stole all their vehicles and hacked in weapons. What next? I wake up after a booming headache to hear we were robbed! By who? The bloody XXT. So there. If they are not banned then at least I want others to know that this group are a bunch of scumbags who came on our server, fucking suck at PvP, and hack to win. If they are banned I would like to thank the person in charge of doing so, if this is the wrong place for a swift banning I would like to know so that these pathetic fuckers can be banned. I haven't seen the server admin on in quite some time so I can't directly address him about this.

So I was just on US950 and I came upon a group of guys outside Komorovo. They were definetely hacking. Spawning all types of weapons, items and vehicles, including what appeared to be a silver honda civic. They also spawned about 50 bear traps and laid them all around their gear. I was sitting silently watching and pretending to be a corpse until a guy runs up to me. Turns out he was friendly. He filled my inventory with all types of stuff, including an AS50 TWS that has a scope that is insane, range finders, like everything I could possibly ask for. Very nice guy. Is this going to get me banned now? At this point, I've just about had it with all the hacking in DayZ anyway. Last night was the first time I've played in a couple weeks and about 60 seconds after I log on, in a Ghillie, under a tree, in a forest in the middle of no where, a guy appears out of no where and just blasts me into oblivion. So I got on today to start fresh and this is what happens. I'd rather not be banned but at this point, does it really even matter? edit: the guys also spawned cows on parachutes falling out of the sky. Crazy.

Of course it is hackers, who would leave that many vehicles on the coast. I found something similar next to Solinchiny (sp. too lazy to look it up) the other day minus the heli and hacked gun. I still instantly knew it was hackers, why else would there be six boats (on the shore no less), 8 ATV's, a couple of trucks, and too many bicycles to count on an area people spawn. I watched the area for a little and when I felt safe I grabbed an ATV and headed for the hills. Was watching the coast for sniper kills when I see a hacker transport in with Jason mask and murder a new spawn and I got off that server after hitting him twice with no response. Script kiddies gotta script.

The AS50 is an AMR used to take out vehicles. People can use their ammo to kill survivors too, but it was ment for shooting a vehicle's engine block and taking it out with one shot.

Yes it will be gone soon. Every server restart our vehicles come back to us

Odin on TS was an absolute savior! Not only did he help fix me up from a broken leg....he helped me gather up some much needed necessities! True hero in my book just doing what he does! Thanks again guys! Look forward to assisting whenever I can...Im also going to let you know if I come across vehicles/parts I can salvage for ya!

So, this server I've been playing on for a while seems to change names every two days or so. With every change of name, the server also seems to change its ID as tent and vehicle positions are shifted, meaning that if I have a tent at position A with the first name and a tent at position B with the second name, the tents (and vehicles) will work accordingly depending on the current name of the server. Is this a bug or actual admin abuse by using two IDs and switching the server's ID?

I seriously think I lost brain cells reading some peoples posts on this thread, here's the main points: 1. you didn't scout/recon the area, and ernema or enema whatever the hell your name is, if he was that geared he must've had binoculars or a rangefinder, at 500 meters nothing is a tiny green dot. unless your playing on an ipod screen. 2. There is snipers in every shooter game you can imagine, you dont see anyone crying about being sniped in CoD by a camper now do you? 3. You had full gear and yet you insisted on going into one of the two biggest cities in the game for some medical supplies. 4. You posted an idea before taking the time to think: "is this a good idea?" snipers WILL NOT be removed from this game. 5. The reason .50 is in this game is to take out vehicles, just like they do in real life at military checkpoints. if they want to use their ammo to take a huge chunk out of you then it's their choice.

well last i check 1.7.2.5 doesn't save to hive so stealing vehicles and scavenging has become pointless. admins used to be able to but not since 1.7.2.5 i dont think

So it's one of these days where it seems that almost everything that could possibly go wrong does so. 1. All tents on my server are gone - not only mine but EVERY tent I know the location of is gone. Not just empty, GONE. This happend once before and after a server restart they reappeared. I can cope with that. 2. Last time I was online I went raiding the NW airfield, therefor I left my watter bottles in my camp - no use for them when you'll find sodas there anyways. So my character starts getting thirsty now. I can cope with that as it's mainly my own fault. 3. So I head to the nearest loot spawn from my position, a deer stand - as usual with this deer stand it's empty on my server (not looted, just empty). I can cope with that. Water bottle started blinking a minute or so ago. So what now? Well, I decide to do something I wouldn't do if this wasn't an emergency: server hopping. As this deer stand is for sure one of the least visited I put my moral qualms aside and join another server. 4. I'm dead on joining and spawn in the debug forrest. Ok, that happened to me before, just relog - that usually does the trick. I can cope with that. 5. I spawn at the coast. Complete other side I used to be. I can cope with that. 6. Wait...why don't I have a weapon in my hand? Did I really die this time? I could cope with that, even if it's hard. But no, it's just all my gear that's suddenly gone. Oh and I start bleeding out on thirst. And NOW I reached my limit of things I can cope with. I see the reason why some people turn this game into a 08/15 deathmatch FPS. I see the reason behind duping - why should I have myself fucked by bugged tents over and over again? Fuck tents and dupe your shit - I understand that. I see the reason behind SOME hacking, namely spawning items & vehicles that already are in the game. It's Alpha, so fuck morality and bugs and have some fun. I DO NOT see the reason behind ruining other peoples days and fun in and with the game by teleporting, server killing, etc.. I know it's an Alpha, I know how things are done in this business as I'm a developer myself (yeah, I know the flames are coming now - some retards just can't live with the fact that some people actually really know how shit's done). BUT I'm more and more convinced that all this is done (or not fixed) on purpose. Why support and fix a free to play mod when you want to sell your standalone version? This is something I can't and will never cope with. Every tiny indy game developer does a better job on fixing his shit, so Rocket is either completely incapable and/or overextended as a developer OR he is following the agenda of leaving this mod in an unplayable state so everyone who fell for a great idea will buy a standalone edition. Interesting fact: most private hives don't have those issues. Guess why? Yes, I'm fucking pissed/mad right now. Yes, I could do it better myself. But I won't. Why? Because I already have a job. Yes, I QQ a lot (and I don't give a single fuck about you retards pointing that shit out to me - so go fuck yourselfs). Private hives I'm coming - just need a beer first...cheers!

You must laugh... with only 6 people though do you really need to hoard that many vehicles? I know you say its your own server but seriously that is quite excessive. I wouldn't be surprised if people don't sit around for long on your server if you have them mostly hidden. Though you said you found it, keep in mind you can still hide them off the map as long as you keep accessing it... so if it ever goes missing again!

So i decided i should finally sign up to the forums... Last night was fun, it started by me logging in walking two steps and seeing havok standing in front of me next to a nice shiney pickup truck... cant get off to a much better start than that really! So thats where the truck came from, after that there was a whole lot of driving around, picking people up and collecting/finding vehicles, while i was driving down the coast road to pick up Tyrgrim, i ran over some poor chap who thought it was a good idea to run right down the middle of the road... i was going about 100kph at the time, his corpse flew through the air for miles... and then later What21 banned him for altf4 abuse, so i guess it wasnt his night. But when we got to that town, there were so many players about it was crazy. we saw zombies around as we were driving up, i guess that was down to jewdy being in the town, Tyr spotted a couple of guys on the hill the other side of town, a long way off, he killed them, then i spotted a couple in the tree line eastish of town, and then there was you 3 who i dont think we saw at all going from your descriptions. So it seems like there were either 3 or 4 groups of players in the same town that night. Was good fun. :)

1) No. It's not needed in DayZ, neither do we need people bunny hopping around the game like a twitch-shooter 2) What? Why? What does this add of value? Spend dev/graphic artist time elsewhere. No. 3) *insert size 100 pt font "NO" here* Vehicles need to be rare in this game. We don't need 3-4 cars all at once playing mario kart in cherno. It means a lot to have a car, and even more to crash/lose it. Everyone doesn't need to be homogenized into an MMORPG style sameness. Get some buddies, find a vehicle, enjoy. 4) No for the same reasonings as #3. We don't need more modes of transportation. I'm waiting for someone to ask for "Quick Travel" at the rate people are whining about vehicles :P 5) Agreed. This is valid and a good idea. 6) And we're back to terrible ideas again. No. It doesn't take long to pick the mid-point between you and a friend(s) and meet up. Heck, if you've been lucky enough to snag a car it's even easier to rejoin your friends. Travel means something in this game, and it needs to stay that way. Even from spawn. I thought you said these were amazing suggestions? :P

No idea what you all mean by these programs don't work right now. As far as DayZ Radar goes I can see vehicle locations just not players. So it works for vehicles, or at least for me.

So I have a van and I'm going away on holiday this week for 7 days, and I know vehicles respawn after 7 days when left... Is there any way i can stop my vehicle despawning? :(

Okay hero, I'll leave you to shooting engine blocks, whilst we ambush vehicles quickly and effectively, without having to completely replace an engine on the fly. You must be ballin' if you have spare engines for every model of car handy, or is it just that no one told you how else fencing wire can be used effectively? I know that wasn't 100% applicable to DayZ, but srsly dude, I jest, calm the fuck down.. I wasn't being rude or obnoxious towards irzero, he made quite a valid statement. Oh, you thought you were being clever. I accidentally ruined that joke where you pretended to not know what you're talking about by showing that you actually don't. Now, let us not resort to that kind of attitude any further yea?

So after playing the game for about 3 weeks and not finding any vehicles at all. Last night i played on this server, as I was running towards kamenka on the main roads I see a bunch of vehicles. I'm talking about, heli, bus, cars, trucks, boats, atv ect. I ran closer, see two dead guys, and one of them had a gun that i've never seen or read about before. I picked up the gun and drove off with an atv, did a quick search and found out that the gun was a hack gun so I immediately dropped it. Is it me or something fishy is going on with this server.

Vehicles are now on our server US 2126 with an instance ID of 8000+, the chopper though is nowhere to be found, did anyones chopper spawn with the rest of the vehicles? Or does the 7 day timer for the chopper start when the vehicles spawned? If anyone knows that'd be great. +beans for anyone who knows.

Same here. Vehicles do indeed spawn. BUT: They dont remember their skin. My motor bike turned into a car. -.- Sad but true, still pretty useless aslong as they keep spinning around skins and repair status.
