ATVs- Probably the worst vehicles in the game as you tap a rabbit and you back flip "Gear"-Alice packs (And if you say you have Ghilles and NVG's to spare, then you obviously duped and can just do it again) Guns- most likley Ak's and M4 PS. its no fun sitting around a game because you are to scared to loose your favorite gun.

Just a FYI you can restart your server whenever you want, even if you weren't to restart it for 3 days the building would then repair back to how it was, and the tents will repitch themselves with everything back in them. I'd know that as our tents got ran over by someone about a week ago, we waited about 20 hours for a restart and then they repitched. Kindof weird but the only think you've lost is the vehicles I guess. I personally wouldn't have fortified the factory as you'll always have people going there for car parts, i'm sure you'll find somewhere else thats equally as good. Ok getting into the building kindof makes sense now, it was quite hard. If I really wanted to I would have just bombed my way in but I decided to try and figure out how your lot had gotten in without. Still have no clue how you got those vehicles out though. The only way I could think of was removing the file in your DayZ which has the fortifications on them, that way you can just drive straight through them (seen it done with trees so people just drive straight through trees, it's nuts...) Atleast I didn't see anything like Thermal AS50's in your tents, I hate finding those in other peoples camps, so you get respect for not using those peices of shiz

Since you're being somewhat reasonable, I will be reasonable in return. Let me be very clear. I have NEVER willfully duped anything myself. I duped my backpack once by complete accident. I put my backpack in my tent. I put on a camo suit, I had a backpack on and it had all the stuff from the backpack I put in the tent, I pulled the backpack out of the tent...and all the stuff was in that one too, so I duped a backpack, without even trying. Now, we have two clans that play together on the server, and rather than LULzing our way through Chernogorosk while we use communications advantages against ungrouped players and telling ourselves how awesome we are while we slaughter people just off the beach, we actually attempt to do survival situations...we group up, we find a fortifiable location, we fortify it, we spend our nights doing supply run operations at various towns to ensure we keep our stocks up. I am more than willing to agree that in a group of 20 or more people, that several of them might be duping on purpose. But I don't dupe, and as I said I'd LOVE to have an instance ID wipe for 401 just to get rid of the crap...so we could start over and get back to the basics of survival again. Some of the most fun we had was actually acquiring the things we'd need to start having a survival settlement. The back door of the building could be vaulted into if you knew how to do it. It was basically a small space where the wire would allow you to vault over it due to the change in base height from terrain to mesh base. Simple facts are, I have not denied the possibility of dupes being in our camp. I have simply stated my own stance on duping...I don't do it and I don't try to do it. And I'd prefer a situation where it wasn't possible at all, whether by accident or on purpose. The vehicles you destroyed took us three days to recover after ESP hackers stole every vehicle on our server and dropped them in random and rather hard to find locations, including teleporting the goddamn PBX into the middle of the forest at 005006. A lot of what we had was legally acquired doing Airfield operations, hospital operations in Berezino, tons of helicopter spawns to find antibiotics. Regardless of what may or may not have been legitimate we spent a lot of time legitimately attempting to play this game as a survival simulation. And now its all pretty much over with. We've lost everything. We can't go back...the whole base is a broken arrow now. Eventually we're going to run out of places to even try to play this game as a survival simulation.

Sorry if this has been said already but reading through 68 pages is abit much :) Our server got updated to this update. We had a UAZ, after server was back up we drove it to pick up a group member on the coast. After picking him up we realised the in game time zone had reset so server admin restarted server with correct setting. After logging back in our UAZ had turned into a Pickup and now after every restart the UAZ disappears and respawns to the road we originally found it. The gear saved inside the vehicles dont actually save now aswel, just returns to the original gear we had prior to updating.

Hey there. I just recently purchased a server on 8/9. I have yet to see any vehicles or helicopter crash sites on my server. This pretty annoying I must say. You should not have to wait 7+ days or however many days people are saying it takes for vehicles to spawn on a new server. It's just rediculous. Why should it take that long? Is it really that time consuming to change the code to where a brand new server starts with vehicles off the bat? I wouldn't think so. But anyways just my two cents.

Thanks for everybody to respond sharing my concern. I would recommend you keep posting in this thread to get exposure. Maybe we will find more people with the problem or actually a Dev response. we can also stay updated if one of our server starts to get vehicles in e.t.c. Keep it going

Okay, I guess I have some Idea why. heh. After playing on their server for countless hours with my mates these Saphik Members/Admins come to play and shut down the server. Restarting it many times. When they booted it back Up, i joined. All my stuff was there :) The Admin sent out a Global message about the server being restarted because item/tents didn't save properly or something like that even though the previous restart of the server (about 1-2hours before being restarted again) all vehicles and save items returned respectively. :) After dropping the server and rebooting it again I join again and I get kicked out of game straightaway... The server was locked again. :( Could it be because my mates and I did this to a whole bunch of tents after looting everything? I won't bother reporting the server as I don't really have the proof. But I think the Saphik clan members were very displeased. It's still going up and down. Hopefully I'm not banned :(

...and a few more undocumented changes... [FIX] Coastal Loading: Have increased the frequency of random coastal spawns for existing characters from once in a great while to every other login or so. [FIX] Zombies now ignore players sprinting around them within a 10m meter radius when not in direct line of sight, but will now aggro from 250m out if players are within line of sight even if the player is prone and making no noise. [FIX] Loading Times: Have found the issue that allowed players to load into the game within five minutes; should now take 10-15 minutes as originally intended. [NEW] Empty Inventory: When randomly loading existing characters on the coast, the loading algorithm now also has a random chance to load existing characters with a completely empty inventory. This should balance out tents and vehicles that don't save / or delete items on server restarts. [NEW] Wildlife Apparitions: Dead wildlife from past DayZ gaming sessions will taunt players by re-enacting their gruesome deaths only to disappear as players approach.

wasn't hacked it was savable and survived 2 restarts saved position everytime it just didnt come back..... well i guess its all the hoarded off map vehicles causing it main reason i used the script was to remove the off map vehicles shame you cant fix that problem and i wouldnt have had to get my hands dirty and lose a cd key but i knew the risk so im not bothered but yea if anyone form eu 32 who has vehicles off map and they vanished hah now you know why :)

Hacked vehicles despawn on server reset I believe though. Enjoy for as long as it lasts.

I am a little confused now. I found a/an UAZ in Cherno, but whenever I ran into stuff it would take and keep damage. According to my friends, (who are more experienced than I am) hacked vehicles repair themselves when you exit and reenter them. I shouldn't be in danger of being banned just because I found a vehicle in a city, right? I mean... someone could have left it there to loot a building.

I had trouble for a long time. The first thing that helped me was finding a vehicle. I could cover more ground, faster. I find it difficult enough, though, to find vehicles on a lot of servers. In any case, open fields near the center of the map are the place to be. Ive seen one pretty far up north east, but mostly around Vybor and the NW Airfield. In addition, they spawn on server restarts, so if your server doesnt restart regularly, or if there are people essentially waiting for those restarts to go hunting, your chances will worsen. I regard these as rudimentary tips. I'm sure you will get better advice from those more successful.

No. Hacked vehicles are safe to drive, but don't go around killing people or something like that. I would much rather destroy it in some way. NOW if there is a hacked gun inside of it I would just drive it into the ocean, and avoid the gun like the plague. @iamblazelflack You CAN get banned for carrying a illegal weapon, say like a golden AK or RPG.

7 vehicles on a server, can be any vehicle, and just so you know, hacked helicopter.

Im currently looking for any information about DE 300. I'm a regular player on this server and my camp and vehicles are there. But for two days now the server is unavailable so it would be great if anyone in this forum could tell me the status of this server.

OK so lets start off with can anyone clear up the spawn rules for the helicopter? or should there always be 1 somewhere on the server somewhere waiting to be discovered? Reason im asking is this 2 weeks ago on EU 32 we found one in the woods presumably crashed as there was no way to land it safely in trees this thick...but it was fully repaired! however i later found out it repaired itself like most vehicles in the game when you let it stand still for a while... I manged to get it out the woods with my team bashing it with quads into a clearing and went for a fly, all fine all great put it on auto hover over a town and it flipped 360 and we had to bail out over elektro as it crashed into a huge fire ball, must have been pretty funny to watch! and that's that its never been back its not re-spawned at all ive checked periodically and nope its nowhere i even got a global ban for checking using a script (my bad learnt that lesson the hard way) and also i dont really regret it how can you check bugs on things like this when they are so rare and the island so big you cant be sure? but i am now as i cheated and got banned for it! So that's it is there a problem with the spawning? or do they literally just no appear for weeks on end?

I checked the forums and saw a thread about US 401. Being myself i thought i'd check it out, half way through my mission I saw new posts from the admins which had me believe that the server report wasn't legit and the server wasn't admin abusing/cheating. Well BOY OH BOY WAS I WRONG! Approximately 1 hour ago I TheMadBomba launched a raid against a fortified position on US 401 in Polana Factory. It was insane the ammount of fortifications they had there I crawled all around the outside of the camp and inside of it. If I was to make a rough estimate of the number of fortifications (inside and out as I managed to get inside) Fortifications: 300 sandbags minimum 400 tank traps minimum 500 barb wires minimum (they were stacked 3-4 thick in most places) I must commend these guys that getting into the inside of that base without blowing anything up was extremely hard, It was like a maze inside and out. I tried getting in by entering through the Ural that was blocked in and then trying to get out of the passenger seat on the other side, sadly I didn't realise there was fortifications on the passenger side aswell but I luckily managed to get in that way just by pure luck, 9/10 times i'd have broken my leg from it. Inside your base I had to go up 1 set of stairs and down the other in order to get to the tent camp that you had set up inside the factory. There was about 40 tents all in all, Checking them I started to think that they were legit tents and they'd only duped the fortifications, that was until I found a tent with 40 gillie suits and then another tent nearby with 50 satchel charges. It was at this point that I attempted to sneak out the back to satchel charge the last of their vehicles as they were definitely the hardest to get to. It was at this point I came under fire and decided to detonate the 20 satchel charges i'd placed all around, somehow my attacker died but I was left standing with 6000 health, a broken leg and alot of fractures. I then decided it was impossible to get to all of the other vechicles without blowing up some other things so it was at this point that I started blowing up the outside factory wall (which also had alot of fortifications around it meaning it was still hard to blow up the right part of the wall. I saw that the Ural had somehow been shielded from one of my earlier satchel charges by the sheer ammount of fortifications around it and then i went to blow that up. All in all I destroyed: 2 tractors 1 ATV 1 Pedal bike 1 Ural 1 bus 1 flatbed and a few other vehicles. Enjoy your stay in this game US 401, feel free to check the ingame logs as it'll clearly show I walked to your base all the way from Pridorokdy and didn't server hope to get inside My recomendation: Stop duping items (I would have screenshotted the sheer ammount of fortifications if that attacker hadn't interupted me mid mission). And play the game properly. I'll be back if I hear you're all up to your old tricks ;)

Congratulations on attacking a base on an empty server that had no defenders? Far as the duping, again I can't claim ignorance, shit constantly respawns in the tents on server resets an people use it. What do you want us to do? Bury it all? Keep a hand written inventory of our tents so we can identify when a tent respawns its contents and tell everyone in the clan that the tent should not be used? it just keeps coming back. But we do supply runs every night, I've run a lot of supply ops with our group. The guys are on Teamspeak right now organizing a resupply run to re-coup our losses, so well done Shaun of the Bread, for metagaming our base and posting its location publically so TheMadBomba and everyone else just like him can fuck it over and make the game less fun for the two clans that play on our server together. I didn't deny that some of the fortifications might be duped, but you using that as a justification to destroy all our vehicles which we definitely legitimately acquired and blowing out our entire base is pretty damn weak. Grief play isn't against the rules though.

Same thing here. Every time the Server restarts, all vehicles and tents are reset (empty and non-repaired) back to their orginal spawn points. Server Version: Dayz: 1.7.2.5 Hive: 0.7.3 Arma Patch: 95883 and in the old Version ( 1.7.2.4. , 0.7.2 ) aswell.

Can spend several hours gathering gear, setting up base camps, finding and repairing vehicles, and running around the map, only to get killed by an invisible/teleporting/god-mode hacker, and having all our tents run over by a vehicle either hacked in or stolen from our base, which is then blown up with satchels.

So ive been playing for about a month and a half. Managed to have a few vehicles and get some pretty good gear. DMR, guille suits and some other fun gear. One thing i have never experienced is a survivor who doesnt just kill me. Of the 2-3 dozen lives ive played..every time i just get sniped or shotgun to the face. Its just not the experience i was looking for. Even with this humanity concept that just came out it isnt going to make it better. People with high humanity will be FORCED to kill the "bandits" so it just creates an even more auto-kill type of gameplay. Ill be back once the stand alone version comes out but untill then ill retire from this mod. Great concept, but the community chooses to just kill everything...

Like if you're on your home server with your tents and vehicles or whatever, and all of a sudden a hacker or three log in, it happens, are you just supposed to log out and stay offline until the fucking hackers have had their fun? Sorry but I choose to go play on another server for awhile until the hackers are gone, but now if you do that, you're teleported to the fucking coast. Sweet. Do the devolopers even realize how fucking rampant hacking is? The best part is, shit like this will just encourage the less patient of us to get those hacks just to teleport around and bypass this stupid shit. This game has terrible issues with progression. You can't really rely on tents or vehicles, and that's not even considering other players finding them, they're just incredibly unreliable with the way the servers work... So it's really hard to simulate past the first few days of survival imo. You can only keep so many things on you securely, and there's no way to progress past that point with a camp because the game just doesn't work properly. So now, people trying to cling to their progression, get randomly fucking teleported halfway across the map directly into the line of snipers. Sorry but this is completely fucking stupid. It makes trying to progress feel fucking pointless, and just makes this feel like a Pvp circle jerk deathmatch game.

NO WAY IN HELL WERE THOSE FORTIFICATIONS LEGIT. Approximately 1 hour ago I TheMadBomba launched a raid against this fortified position. I crawled all around the outside of the camp and inside of it.

And play the game properly

We are trying different things at present. We have gone from having bases with every vehicle in the game, to running with no vehicles and attempting to improve our bush craft and capabilities against enemy combatants on the server. Long term, a good group of people who enjoy playing together, enjoy structured team play and are able to help other groups out in sticky situations. Veterans of the game basically.

I can understand them wanting to fix server hopping, it's a legitimate issue... But right now, with the way the game is, there are way to many legitimate reasons to leave a server as many people have pointed out. I've been teleported in game by hackers more than once. I've come upon huge stashes of weapons clearly spawned by hackers. I've seen hackers spawn vehicles, and I've been told that they're not even spawning them, they're teleporting the vehicle from somewhere else on the map, Making it that much harder for legitimate players to find vehicles. I mean the game is hard enough to progress in for most people, you shouldn't get teleported away from tents, vehicles, or any other things you have saved / setup on your server. This is just complete bs... I really enjoy the core of this game, but these patches should be fixing things, not making them worse...
