yeah no music have sound CRANKED in my headphones to hear footsteps, gunfire, zombies, vehicles, etc.

players couldve removed all the sandbags and shit with a toolbox, stolen your vehicles, smashed your tents, and then the server restarted.

Hey fellow survivors, I am 25 and male. I am looking for a teammate or small group (3 to 4) to do alittle more than just survive. By this I mean to have a couple of objectives: - Normal loot/survive - Always keeping an eye out for vehicles - Have some days where we raid towns(like killing zombies instead of staying hidden) - Have some days where we hunt bandits(just bandits) and HELP(not kill) survivors that we find along the way. - Roleplay and have fun No need to be experienced in dayz I dont care about age just as long as you can have some level of maturity(no whiners - unless you die and lose all your stuff but who could blame you then lol.) Must have mic and use skype or oovoo. PM me here or on steam(WhiteSyntax) if interested Thanks

There's no way a server restart ate sandbags, vehicles, and tents that were all saved and have been there for about 12 other restarts. Would just like to point out that the clan on the server also has 2 other bases that have been there for ages without any problems.

But if your not in a clan you don't see the crazy side of clan play. until hackers became an issue our home server was home to another clan. ever night both of us would go looting, and if we ran into each other it became a war over what ever city/place it was. I remember we bother were raiding berezino we came from north them from south and there litterally was a 15-20 person fire fight going on between the buildings. it was NUTS, and this was before hacking was prevalent so most us just had akm's, m16a2, winnies you know mid tier weapons. basically neither side did the silly CoD combat of running and gunning it was little flank moves etc. and when they started losing to many people they pulled out because they didn't wanna lose the vehicles. but they left a few snipers so we ended up leaving for same reason. THIS right here is the essence of a survival game, i started solo and got to the point were i was living easily for weeks. found a clan and we started building a "community" in game. its the evolution of a society after an apocalypse, and honestly on the tents thing think about it if someone in your "community" died the loot is redistributed to others in a r/l scenario. unless you make perma death you die and the game uninstalls then its not really perma death. i think the problem is most of you have only been playing for under a month and don't know what the game was like before hacking/duping became an issue because i remember when a DMR up was a RARE bird and the ammo was rare enough you only used it when you absolutely had to. game was a totally different place.

Basically a friend and I have a base set up in a desolate area. We logged in today and the base was completely gone. No tents, no sandbags, the vehicles were gone as well. It's not even that the tents were smashed, they simply weren't there. Literally nothing. We came back to our base after a server restart and that was the result. We've had the base for about 3 days now.

I agree with you, group play is a blast and shouldn't be penalized but the underlying system of gear storage/loot farming is warping the group dynamic and for me at least, diminishing the fun. Many posters have already said this but it bears repeating. With our collection of tents and vehicles permadeath no longer applies to me and it sucks the life right out of this game.

The Vehicles arent being saved and when my server restarts...the vehicles go back to wherever they were svaed before the new update. Also supplies and weapons are not being saved in tents or vehicles. I beleive whatever was put into the vehicles and tents before the update are just duping themselves. The Graphical glitchs are still here. HELP ME ROCKET!!! Love The game by the way. Thot i would let you know about these things since some people are saying everything is fine after this Hotfix. -Karnius

I don't. I really can't. Listening to music would drown out the sounds of gunfire, movement and vehicles. If I could, I'd listen to my small collection of rock and techno.

Similar thing happened to me that same day on that server. Loud noise and then I was dead. I have been playing on that server for about a week now and that is the only time that has happened to me. Today I logged in and my friends and me lost everything in our tents and our vehicles were gone from our camp. Someone may have found our camp by luck but it's unlikely. Grrrrrr....DayZ!

With regards to the white car, yeah, I stayed up rather high and directed a couple guys on the ground to grab it and go. As for the tents, server is a bit buggy as with others, some restarts they just disappear with all the vehicles, other restarts they sometimes duplicate and place themselves in weird spots. It's not really a consistent thing but I seem to have just fixed most of that issue with restarting twice in a row. However with that camp I did take a bunch of stuff out and then scuttled the empty tents that were duplicated.

Hire this man. I forget what its like to play with permadeath, since all I have to do is respawn and head to my tents/vehicles and rekit again. Tents you own should be destroyed immediately when you die. Vehicles should only be able to store Jerry Cans.

+1 Elpis Host has been nothing short of amazing with their customer service. My server also has the same situation as yours. It's been four days and no vehicles yet.

Having issues with this too, no vehicles are spawning.

Hi all, just started renting our own server and have found that any vehicle we save in a location, it is gone when the server is auto-restarted. Spent about 3 hours repairing a UAZ only to have it gone this morning. Any idea's what I can do to resolve this issue as the small section of the community who plays on our server will get pissed.

i havent and still dont get the vectoring or anything like that, just the little black blotches off in the distance. obviously i dont know the difference in configuration for all these systems, if there is a way to pinpoint this (why i dont get them and others do) i would be happy to provide any pertinent information. i also spawn on the beach every time, no matter what. i only connect to servers that (claim to) match my versions. yesterday i was watching elctro under a tree in a sniper suit, hearing gunshots down the hill the whole time. "(name) was killed" was pretty constant. couldnt see anybody. i saw one zombie aggro, then stop. then i started getting shot at. didnt know what it was at first, the guy couldnt hit me. was just single shots, like a semi. i just kept hearing gunshots then some strange noise that i havent heard before. after 5 or 6 shots i realized i WAS getting shot at and he must have been hitting the tree? what a retarded sound it was. i was able to get behind the tree, the shots stopped so i ran up the hill and did not stop running. a few seconds later all of a sudden i got blasted by a fully automatic weapon. the only way this could possibly happen in this situation is if dude teleported, or could run at least 4 times faster then me, judging from the distance he couldnt hit me and was using semi. i also know the terrain here, you cant just run up the hill that was below me. i never did see him. i dont care if i die, but if you are a shitty shot and this is the only way to get me, piss off. this was not legitimate. -things will be different in stand alone-so what? stand alone is a ways off. i cant test a game if i cant do anything. there are some bugs that will not be found without proper testing, and with people teleporting themselves around, thunderdoming, starting half the map on fire, fake guns, and pretend vehicles, only the most obvious issues will be found. i guarantee there are issues that have not been found and wont be, because of these things. i cant believe there is no way to either stop or catch people when they teleport, seems pretty elementary to me. wouldnt take much... this is something debug forest should be for...

Give him time, it is sunday afterall most people don't work on sunday. If he is doing stuff today he'll get you setup. Elpis is a great host and Tyler is great at doing his job. I just wish vehicles were spawning. It's been like 4-5 days since we got our server and still no vehicles spawned.. Rockets secret changes and crap to the game are getting frustrating as hell.

Vehicles constantly vanish on my server after a restart. We've only found a chopper twice and been able to fix it up only for it to vanish when the server restarts. Most frustrating, we do save them as well. It's got to the point where we consider vehicles useless now and the next chopper we get we will just use for lols shooting fresh spawn noobs on the beach while playing Vietnam tunes like Fortunate Son over direct chat because it will vanish the second the server restarts.

Same thing here. 99% of the time we are losing entire vehicles, their inventory, and the tents inventory. Server just restarted about half an hour ago and moved all our vehicles back out, even spawned in a weird bus with some soda in it where we logged off last. Hope something happens soon......

I think i got the same problem I raided a camp took a pick up truck a bus and s1203 when i came back to the camp i saw the other people stealing/moving the cars to a difrent camp, couple hours later I restart the server and gues what the only vehicles in my camp are the pickup and the spot where the bus was standing is now a bycicle, i drive back to the camp I stole it from and all the vehicles are there even the ones that those other guys stole + another pickup with the exact same gear as my pick up. some other dudes on my server report the same problem with the uaz and the ural evry server restart they just spawn back on the place they got them from. Also the heli was blown up and I've read some where that it spawns after 7 days, I've been checking skalisty and skalka and other spawns on the wiki evryday without succes, are the vehicles bugged in dayz atm is it my server, or is it a hacker?

So I'm driving down Northwest Airfield in a pickup I just stole from some major base which had 9+ vehicles. See no zombies, think everything is cool. Proves to be true until I hit the southeast most part of the airfield where I see a guy in a ghillie being all sneaky and the like except he is in the open. So I'm just roaring down at 108 until I hit the grassy patch where he is and I drop to 10-15ish. The guy doesn't see me and I'm going for the roadkill. Get up to 15 on a straight and hit the guy who turns to see me at the last moment but doesn't have time to move. I Hear his legs break and am about to drive off figuring he is at the VERY LEAST unconscious and about to bleed out and aware he may have some mates. I'm backing up because I got locked in near some trees when hitting him when I hear the sound of his M107 and see the guy shooting at me. I try to jump out of the truck to just shoot the stubborn guy, but it blows up right before I can kicks me out of it unconscious to the ground where he kills me with his M107. I'm honestly shocked the guy didn't die. I don't regret that I lost my stuff and truck as one of the things my group took was a Ural which we loaded from the Mega base along with some other vehicles so gearing back up isn't an issue. I only regret that I had morphine on my body.

DayZ is not a military simulator, it's built off one though. I do know how big a .50 cal round is and how devistating it is I do know that they're also for taking out vehicles. I am a firearms collector, not some kid who learns everything about firearms from COD and Battlefield. I also realize this game is meant to be harsh, as stated in the original post. I was not asking for it to be taken out either, merely trying to encourage a decent discussion between all of the hacking threads. Now Mr.Smartypants, please read my original post before you get all cheeky again PS, I gave you my beans so you see this post.

IDK if you know or not.. but your NOT allowed personal or private servers. Thats the point. A FAIR gameplay for everyone. These admins dont realize that Rocket and the Dev team only accept about 25-30% of server hosting requests. They do not NEED you guys and this game has an advantage w a private server SO YOU CANNOT DO IT. Its very simple but some people are using unreasonably low pings to create them Thats perfectly fine for you guys. I filter half the time by day or night then by player count. Im perfectly happy to play w 150MS -250MS of ping.... Its not game breaking ive been playing shooters since '92 and 200MS isnt too hard to cope w. 150ms is negligible and anyone who says they know the difference betwen 50ms and 150ms is a fucking moron YOU can play @ 60ms but I AND anyone else who wants to should be able to play at 150-200 (200 may be voted too high but under 150ms is too low). The reason for this Is it creates a server where only a select few can go on. This is bad for 2 reasons 1. The hive doesnt distinguish between 5 player servers and 50. So that lil low pop server is EATING DAY Z COMMUNITY RESOURCES. 2. This allows these people to basically 'pay' for free gear. they set the parameters so low that it dwindles the server pop. It will rarely reach a medium population at that and allows in off peak times for near isolation to loot and save whatever gear or vehicles they want and do as they please ^2. is game breaking. As they then can PVP without a problem and affect other players game play IF you cannot understand this or argue against it you either short sighted (re read try to understand) or an abuser (fuck you)

Well my clan used to be ANZ 5 regulars (hosted by AusArma.org). Then the entire server got hacked so bad that it went down for days, and when it came back up, our base camp and vehicles were gone (ie, gone by having to reset the server) We tried going back to it after it came back up, but it went down again shortly after. I really feel sorry for cm. and Freebourne. Having to manage an entire server reset and still having issues after must be a pain in the arse.

Same thing happened to my clan this morning. We have a camp hidden away with several vehicles as part of our collection. Although we had more at one point, last night we had the V3S, an off-road pickup truck, an S1203 van, a tractor, and a bicycle. When our members came on this morning, they were shocked to find none of our vehicles there. The strange part, however, was that some of our vehicles had been replaced. Specifically, the V3S was transformed into a bus, and the off-road truck was transformed into a dirt bike. These two new vehicles were literally in the exact same spots that the previous ones were. Exactly. Additionally, all of our collected gear was no longer there. However, we decided to check one of our old camp spots (we are nomads and frequently move our camp) and we found all our vehicles there, in the exact same condition as yesterday morning or 2 nights ago (including the gear). So now we have a bus and motorcycle to add to our collection at least. The saddest part, then, was the unfortunate luck of having almost 2 days worth of loot disappear :(
