You don't even have to know tent locations - just head to the nw airfield - on the way there is a high chance to find at least one heli crash site. If you have friends with vehicles it is even easier - he can just pick you up in a car. Zombies are such a joke that they could easy not even be there - I have not died from them yet - and probably never will if they continue to be that harmless.

I know that issues with hackers/dupers/ghosting and all the standard stuff are being addressed and I have no complaints on any of those. I was just wondering if its possible to restart everyone from square one, wipe all tents/vehicles on all servers. In its current state, I can die, and within 15 mins be totally geared up with any gun in the game, coyote, gillie, food/water bottles thanks to all the camp sites Ive found on many different servers since they just refill and dupe with ever server restart. I have satchel bombed many sites using their own satchels, and next day its all there again with exact same gear. Since this is guaranteed to happen down the road anyway, I can't imagine to many people having issues with this, even clans who spent time collecting duping items) Also, I would love to see a name trail on each item, to see which survivors carried said weapon. I killed a guy in Cherno, took his AS50 and wondered "How many hands has this weapon changed" No bitching, just suggesting. I'll roll with this game in any state.

Your first post was a reply to mine... Were you dropped on your head as a child? And lol at the second part of your post... I love the way that's literally all any asshat like you can say... I'm pretty much at end-game minus vehicles the whole time and I play solo, without tents, lol. This game isn't hard, even without player killing. I think they're both actually phrases which makes them pretty meaningless TBH, lol.

I lol'd Srsly, one of the worst excuses ever.... "No one is banned for using non-hack programs (like Fraps, overlays, etc.), picking up or using hacked in-game items, weapons or vehicles, being on a server at the same time as a cheater, or other passive non-cheating activity."

My server is running 1.7.2.4 and am now having issues with that as well in terms of saving vehicles and tents.. Not to the extent of 1.7.2.5 though. I think it is time (since the standalone won't use it) to get rid of the hive server.

Rocket is experimenting as he sees fit. We can't have too many vehicles in the map because of server stability and same goes for zombies spawning in the woods. (Though, it was supposedly planned ages ago.) The reason we only spawn on the shore, is that what's the point in trying to play from the shore when you can just kill yourself and try to get closer to the NWAF? And, vehicles DO despawn if no one uses them in a while.

This game has often been referred to as an experiment—I'd like to see more experimentation though! Spawn loot changes were great, and it was good to play both with and without the starting makarov. Try spawning us all over the map. Add more vehicles, make gas rarer, experiment with zombie spawn locations (occasionally in the woods, maybe?). What would happen if you made it so that vehicles could despawn if noone had used them for a while? We'll probably bitch and moan a bit, but we do that no matter what goes on.

ok my group is searching a group or clan to play on our server and fight with us for vehicles if anyone is interested add my steam zannypowa

to be honest I would like to see everyone start from scratch but only items (wepons, vehicles, tents) related .. the time you have survided stay the same.. Dont know if its possible but I believe that for the "experience" rocket wanted us to have, well.. it no longer exists, now its just die > go tent I know > full geared in 20 mins, Boring this game has become

bump, still seeking info about the vehicles

chernarus is 89 square miles. Skyrim is less than 20. The console version could have grass to about 5 feet in front of you and LOD 50 feet in front of you, not to mention textures about half the size and a max resolution of 720p so half the pixels most of us play at. Not to mention the speed of vehicles would have to be slowed down (like slow ass horses in skyrim) so the disk drive doesn't explode. Servers would have a maximum of 24 players as well.

I have been playing DayZ a lot recently and dreaming up some ideas. I know a lot of you are VERY turned off by the thought of a no bandit DayZ because it is a core game play mechanic, but I would like you to keep an open mind for this one. Don't get me wrong, I love the bandit aspect of DayZ, but I think it would be cool to try out a all-survivor server. However there is one big flaw with this idea... Imagine if people did not, or could not, kill each other in DayZ anymore. What would they do? Explore? Get the best guns and vehicles? Stop playing? Most would probably do the latter. But for those who did stay, they would probably go out and explore every inch of Chernarus with a few random strangers. It would be entertaining and cool, but for how long? At some point, you would do every thing you have wanted to do. You will have flown the Helicopter back and forth of Chernarus. You will have conquered that castle in the middle of nowhere and made it your stronghold. You will have found those 15 Sachel Charges and used them all at once on one building just to see what happens. But then what? With DayZ in its current form, we are all way to concerned with survival to think about anything else. But what if we were to take away that element of fear and add it with a new element of hope or determination? My thoughts are on this: A common goal all players on a server work to achieve. Something large and not easily done in a few days of work. However at this point... I became stumped. The only real idea I had which would work somewhat interesting would be players working to take back Chernarus, City by city, castle by castle. Some could go out to farther north to harder areas (Such as the air force base) to collect more rare loot, while other smaller groups go and try to weaken a nearby city's zombie count. And maybe at night a server could have to deal with excess zombies who are more easily agitated. This would make players have to decide "Should we bunker down in our place with no lights and hope we are not found? Or should we cover our place in lights and hope we do not get swarmed by an amount we can not handle?". This is just a thought I had. Obviously some things would still need to be thought out more (The whole random players joining any server, night and day cycles, etc...).However I think if we went away from the horrible "kill or be killed" theme and to a more positive "All for one and one for all" idea, some interesting things could happen. I apologize if this might be hard to read, I know if i put more work I could make this post more fancy with hidden spoiler boxes and what not. It would probably come across better, but I do not have that much time or focus. But what do you guys think? Does the idea of a server of just survivors sound good at all? And if so what common goal could these people strive towards?

Anyone else feel like certain skins, vehicles, and weapons have been selected from other expansion packs so that people buy them? The most annoying example is the L85 with thermal. The scope is MUCH nicer if you have the correct expansion. I usually dont ask for anything for free, but Bohemia Interactive should either give us all PMC and BAF for free as a thanks for the HUGE influx of sales, or atleast gives us all the high res textures for everything included in this mod. Because of the players playing dayz and word of mouth Arma 2's sales have skyrocketted making Bohemia tons of extra $$$.

what no one seems to talk about is that everybody becomes bandits when they finally find some friends to group up with in the game. Once you make a crew, isnt your motto "kill whoever isnt in the current little crew." And doesn't that make you a "bandit." Im not a bandit, i try and make friends to form a crew to find vehicles n such. But when i'm w/ my crew, i protect my boys :) FROM ANY & ALL, SO UNLESS YOU COME WALKING AT ME BACKWARDS SCREAMING UR FRIENDLY, EXPECT TO GET MY PWNER IN UR FACE :)

As of now me and my friend will be recruiting new members into our Day Z team.

I think this is caused by vehicles being blown up. But please remove the IP from your post.

DAY Z SQUAD TEAM. ME AND MY FRIEND ARE RECRUITING NOW FOR THE NEXT WEEK. Our aim: Our aim of creating this group/clan is to make the game more enjoyable for I and many others playing with us. At the moment I believe there is not much point playing by yourself as you seem to live for about 1 hour due to lack of protection from hackers, so I believe this would be a good idea and starting point to prevent people from hacking themselves. What players we are looking for. - We are currently recruiting any kind of play style. Willing to recruit anyone from a survivor to bandit to noob. - We need someone who's willing to play often and help out the team when needed. - Don't need a dick who is just joining to kill us all. - We also want people who are out going to talk to, so we can chat on skype without arguments. - We need someone who is willing to kill intruders or to put someone into order. - Our team would like to have a few pros so the people who are noob can be helped out. What we are going to do as a team/squad. - Going to go on a range of missions with lots of travelling. - Go on raids through main cities, the country side, bases and the airfields/airstrips. - Search for vehicles. - Search for HELIS - Help out noobs. Where can you contact me? You can contact me on here just personal message me or post your skype name on the post so I can add you and have a chat to you as soon as possible. Skype name: sean.gauci

Just for information folks, if you have access to your server logs you will see this line when attempting to save tents/vehicles. Error in expression <stInventory",_inventory]; if (_objectID == "0") then { _key = format["CHILD:309:> Error position: <== "0") then { _key = format["CHILD:309:> Error Generic error in expression File z\addons\dayz_server\compile\server_updateObject.sqf, line 31 Looks like since the last patch they have introduced errors in the way the server updates....

No need for toolbox to fix vehicles, yes need to go to fuel station and go to the big cylander things full of fuel, make sure you double tap Alt so you only drive with WASD and not with mouse (unless you want to). And If you "save ATV" then it'll be there after restart.

Hey guys I am experienced and pretty food at the game but im bored of playing solo. Please Pm me your skype and we'll talk and stuff. Looking for more experienced players, and hopefully people with vehicles ect as I want to start a camp. Cheers. 14+ please

i am regular player actually bored and with some vehicles looking for some teamplay. couldn't add you on skype.

I think they should take out one of the .50's and make one even more rare than they already are but add more, I guess, "common" military rifles like the SV-98 (russian), Bor, M40, etc. As many have said, it's really overkill and really hurts the realism of the game when everyone and their brother has a .50cal. However; if cars are more common and fuel is scarce, the .50cal will hold a more appropriate role to disable vehicles.

Well, actually... I don't think that's immaturity, I think that is called a smart move - interrupting communications between everybody. Secondly, I think you are mad. Quite mad, in fact... you are still taking the time to respond to what I am saying. Thirdly, I have been giving shit from our clan to bandits all along. When vehicles went missing, do you honestly think that it was always some random hacker, or "random" bandit? I am responsible for some of the vehicles going missing. I am responsible for most of what went on (in terms of vehicles being jacked), actually... but you never had the slightest clue. None of you did. I was probably the least suspected in the clan to do something. I hope you have fun while your camps will be constantly raided by onslaughts of bandits. I have posted the coords in other forums, as well. I think you guys bit off a little more than you could chew when you let me go. Enjoy.
