Same thing has happened to me twice now. I have grown tolerant of disappearing vehicles and tents, but disappearing gear is really unacceptable. Version 1.7.2.5 Arma2 95883 logging in with DayZ Commander losing patience...

I pretty much agree with everything on this thread, you have my beans! The standalone should also allow players to shoot out of the back of certain vehicles (certain vehicles like ATV's and Motorcycles wouldn't work and vehicles with more seats would pose a bigger threat).

Just purchased a server off vilayer LTD for me and my friends. To see that their is a problem with vehicles spawns is a bit depressing, hopefully the bug is fixed soon. I will wait out the first month of the server and hopefully vehicles spawn / the problem is fixed, then ill decide on either keeping the server/ending it. It gets depressing hoping to different servers every night to find that electro has been booby-trap with bear traps by hackers lmao.

admin abuse allover the place. spawned vehicles, godmode. [sx|G]N0cif and Thomas is the name of the admins.

Yes, Yes and Yes. Though the DayZDB map is glitching sometimes and will show vehicles and loot points above northern border. There is nothing except debug forest / debug plains past this border. you can go as far as you want, you will die of hunger/thirst before you can reach the real end of the map. if you stay within coordinates (look at gps) or within the map borders (thick line on the ground) your vehicles and tents should save fine.

There are alot of vehicles, look harder and play longer. i have been playing since Dayz started and have found or helped find 31 vehicles. how long has the game been out? 4 months about? Not to sure. But its not all that hard. Either get a group together and go hunting the spawn spots, or go up north and go hunting for peoples tens/vehicle hideouts. Its not that hard to find peoples stashes up north. Other then that, just keep playing I guess? The next vehicle I find I might have to give to you and your mate if you dont find any by then. Only thing I would like to see more of is the Mountain Bikes. You cant store anything in them, they dont use gas, plus everyone likes bikes.. a few extra of those would not hurt (; Anyways, good luck on your adventures. Did I mention look up north past NW Airfields?

Go to the board of the MAP! North of NWA and run near roads. There's some vehicles with poor speed in offroad, so they must be near roads. If you have N.V you can spot it far away, as any non military vehicles reflect the moon light as a bright light, and military reflect it as the tree. Before the new version start to spaw every one that change server for ping/laggy crash etc, at beach, I was into deep north forest, where I and my friends found an ATV, UAV, V3, URAL ,Horn and the old yellow car :} .

1.7.2.5 Fix tent / vehicles saving. Game is not playable atm.

WOW, lets see I've been playing this game for past 2 plus months. Only seen 2 buses, and a tracktor and a busted up ATV. Forget about vehicles bro, get your own server and horde them like everyone else.

Do you have satchel charges? I don't have much, but satchel charges would be extremely helpful on my server. I have a bandit problem. The admin is part of the group and they stockpile vehicles, and horde weapons for their team only. I recently stumbled upon their camp and took some important stuff. All the stuff I need to survive. EXCEPT for anything to possibly destroy their campsite and vehicles. One satchel charge would do it. I am not a bandit. I do not kill for no reason. But this group needs to be ended. They need to know what its like to have everything and just lose it in a second. Also, I could become a body guard. I am very good with snipers/assault rifles/ and pistols. I don't kill unless I need to. I am not Australian but I do not sleep, so I can work at any time, and expect nothing in return. Thank you for helping out the days community, and supplying us with weapons to take out the bandits that make our dayz experience hell. PM me sometime. I'm dedicated, and would love to help you. -Ashton

It doesn't mean you will never again find your vehicles...you may once find it waiting in middle of NW airstrip being spit out of limbo.

Look at game map, you will see a forest at each map limit and beyond this, a "desert" no tree and nothing, in map it's only brow. The limit is these forest, where're trees. If you park and save your vehicles/tents outside these limit, it will be lost for limbo :}

1. Is there any limit to how far you can go north or west on the map? Is it a hard limit (i.e. invisible wall)? 2. Can you go so far that the server won't save tents/vehicles (i.e. past the 000 coordinate on X or Y axis)? 3. I normally use DayZDB Map. Will a server save any vehicles/tents viewable on that map? Thanks for the help, I always appreciate the helpful responses yall give... most of the time ;)

I'd like to see vehicles spawn in random locations like helicopter crashes one day instead of set locations. The fact that there's a map to find vehicles out there seems like a flaw.

Majority of vehicles are hoarded by crews. It's one of the few end-game things to do. Try different servers and so on. As Fusty said dayzdb has a good map for practically all vehicles with an engine or without. At the end of the day though they should be hard to find. Even harder to fix.

Occasionally servers can bug out and no vehicles will appear, usually fixes itself at restart. Many servers running 1.7.2.5 have an issue with both tents and vehicles not saving, so you should have some luck finding them at the spawn locations, they will return there again when the server restarts though. Otherwise you probably just aren't looking hard enough, I find vehicles all the time by simply following the edge of the map up North.

Honestly, I don't really give a damn what they do to the mod anymore. I am waiting on the standalone. I don't use storage and I probably never will, definately not in the mod. Depending on what all types of features that are in the standalone, well, that's a different ballgame that nobody has a clue about. and to the guy up there who says everybody has an as50 and a L85, I left both at a crash sight just the other day. They don't have any interest to me at all. I don't have a team so having a sniper is pointless to me. My main goal until the standalone is strictly to find and empty camps and destroy vehicles. Edit. And you do realize I am completely against the OP. There needs to be storage. I agree. I just know that atm the way it dupes equipment in dayZ it is the probem. I don't want it removed. I was just making a over-the-top statement.

Ok so me and my mate have basically been EVERYWHERE on the game and are currently In Zelenograd and have yet to find a single vehicle in a little over a month! Why is this? I found a bike ONCE but that's it and I had to leave it because bike are one-seaters. Also where is this supposed "parking garge" in zelenogorsk? I havnt seen it yet

Yeah, we average about 25 players during peak hours (4 PM to 10 PM) but outside of that, we have 10-15 players usually. I never really minded it though because our server was pretty much hacker free. I only ever had to ban two guys for hacking. So, there is some beauty in being under the radar. :) A lot of the vehicles are left on my server too. I find them all the time but we never used them. We would grab one for quick transport to and from the airfield but we'd leave it out somewhere to respawn. We never horded them or stored them but would use them if we found them in working order just for quick travel that day. I awlays found them more work than they are worth and you miss a lot of stuff using them. I kinda liked finding other survivors and helicopter crashes.

If you want to go tent raiding or find some vehicles, come with us! We're a group of 4. Add me on skype ifuzev3

I have been playing DayZ for quite some time now and still learn new things. I have a run down for some newer players looking for some top tips/rules that will help you survive in DayZ: Rule #1) In a survival situation consider EVERYONE a threat unless you personally know them. This means shoot first ask questions later - killing someone on sight doesn't make you bad because 9 times out of 10 they will do the same to you. Rule #2) Not to state the obvious but, find a gun above anything else. A gun will save your life, food and water should be secondary to protection. If you can't protect yourself you're dead anyway. Rule #3) Stay out of main cities unless absolutely necessary. You will find more people are there to take what you have - scavenging previously high population areas is risky. Rule #4) Power is always in numbers. Being alone is an eventual death sentence and in most cases results in a rather quick death. Other people are not the only threat. Anything from falling off stairs to trapping yourself in a corner are easy ways to die when alone. So invite some friends to play DayZ. Convince them, beg them and beat them to join you. Rule #5) Always use the trees as cover. I can not stress enough how excellent trees/bushes/forests are for concealing your activity. This goes hand in hand with making campfires. Rule #6) Carry additional and alternative weapons and ammo. Varied weapons allow for back up in case you run out of primary and secondary ammos. Rule #7) Find an ax, a knife and matches. Why? Because making camp fires and hunting live animals is safer than running to town for food plus, meat heals for more than double what beans do and you get much more from wild animals than you would from a canned food spawn. Rule #8)The best areas to find items are actually outside the cities, in tents, placed by other players. With patience and perseverance you can find all sorts of stashed loot and vehicles in the outskirts of the main map bordering the forest and the "debug forest". Rule #9) Crawling can save your life. Silence can often be a savior when dealing with Zeds and even actual players. That being said, don't shoot your gun unless you have to. Rule #10) Whenever you notice a dead body hide, get to a safe vantage point and check your surroundings, snipers and bandits alike will often use fresh kills to bait curious and greedy players.

I don't know how to dupe so nah. We keep killing hackers, finding tents/vehicles with hacked items in it or create boxes or what ever they are

I agree however my point was why have 50.cal snipers but not have say light armor or even weaponized vehicles(like the off-roader). Ok than call me that, fine by me, but really m107s and AS50s should be as rare if not rarer than the drivable Heli. Now I think High end gear as well as vehicles should have Unique Ids tied to them to help prevent clients spawning them in game without the server telling the client to spawn it. (as well as duplicates of the ID get auto deleted)

I did check it for loot and nothing. I might just wait to get the group together so we can all die after I am shot while driving or we can kill some people on the coast. If I had the satchel I might have just gone with that plan though, I am aware that most vehicles end up getting destroyed and it would be funny to fraps blowing up some happy person or group who walked up on a helicopter.

People go out to kill people because there's no objective in the game, you can have a dream new spawn, have 10 tents, all the best weapons and accessories and vehicles in the map, what to do next? let's go kill other people with our good gear so they find it hard to get to the level i'm at... and i'll do it so they're mad and it's fun for me... yeah?
