Yes, obviously we are hacking because we found your camps/vehicles and took them. This makes a lot of sense. We came to the server looking for a fight, and all you did is accuse us of hacking and ran away. We followed you to your new server and continued to PLAY THE GAME on it. It's called being a bandit group, please read about the server hosting guidlines before you go on about how much you pay to run a server. You are attempting to drive us out, yet you are only further proving that you don't know what DayZ is all about. We're bandits, get over it. If you don't like the hardcore nature of your MERCENNARY server, do us all a favor and find a different game.

Not a single damned vehicle on any of them. Anybody got a server where ALL the vehicles aren't already being hoarded? Me and a couple of friends are looking for a server. All we ask is one truck. Even a dirtbike would be fine!

Setting: Tropical Island This kind of place is where you spawn Guess what? Last night? That was a thunderstorm. A pretty bad one, indeed. The power is out all over the island, chances of it getting back on? Pretty much zero. Wanna know why? All the electricians are dead. Wanna know why? I mean, when has that ever worked out? Basic DayZ rules apply. Perma-death, you start without a weapon, have to get food, drink, etc. The good stuff. To get weapons, you scavenge former park rangers vehicles/tree stands/stations & security checkpoints. Bear ain't got shit on a T-Rex Food can be gathered from one of two sources: 1) Canned supplies 2) Killed dinos. Except of course, gunshots attract all kinds of pre-historic creatures, so watch the fuck out. Locations vary from this to this to this Each are has its own kind of 'saur which is native to it (i.e. raptors in tall grass, pterodactyl in plains), plus a bunch of generic ones you can find anywhere. T-Rex and other super-carnivores are very limited per server and basically roam randomly. Oh, also, they're pretty much un-killable. Just hide in the tall grass, thick woods, caves or whever. Watch out for raptors though. The Elektro/Cherno equivalent would be the main visitor area with its souvenir shops, hospital, hotels & shopping mall. And Dinos, don't forget the Dinos. The rest of the map obviously wouldn't be just jungle, either. Just like Chernarus has its sporadic towns, etc, this little island has its ranger stations, airfield and sporadic bungalow clusters. Except keep in mind that in this world, the jungle isn't any safer than the town. For higher level players, there's a semi-connected network of tunnels, underground laboratories and bunkers which are accessible through various locations throughout the map. Like this Or this... This area is both more and less dangerous than the surface. The smaller space means that large dinos, such as the T-Rex, etc, obviously aren't present, though smaller, more agile beasts still are. Like Asians. And Raptors Also, since there still isn't any power (duh), the most you get is emergency lighting, if at all, which means you're completely dependant on chemlights, flashlights, flares, etc - which of course give away your position and are known to attract... you know it: Other players. Oh, and raptors. So there you have it: With only a few changes we could have the best Mesozoic Park game ever attempted. From what I gather Rocket, you still have like, a few months until the DayZ standalone is supposed to be finished. So if you could just include these minor changes...

Are there any Dev words about that? I will Bump this thread untill there is a dev Response to it. IT doesnt make sense to play with broken tents and vehicles.

Search harder, they are there. I haven't seen many (but also haven't played much, and lately don't even play). But I have find them, both fixed and broken, and I always connect to random servers. I've read that a lot of people hide their fixed vehicles NW at the forests.

so this is brad i haven't posted any thing in this post before but i think its time to say something. ok well for starters i did betray my old group but my reason for doing so is that the group had taken in my eyes all the fun out of the game duping and alt f4ing out of danger restarting the server when we have problems with heli / what ever other vehicles we had so i found a new group of pepl that play legit so i told them about my old group and the stuff we had so we figured we would fraps them doing all the things that i was telling them thay should not be doing all tho not all the pepl in my old group were enjoying the non legit game play we were doing thay still chose to play with the group so all i can say for you pepl you know who you are im sorry for what i did but needed to happen to change the way the server was being ran hopefully the serer what ever the name is now will not be unfair to play on

Hello and welcome to all whom this may interest TopShelf is currently looking for mature players to help fill our ranks. We are a relatively new clan but we do have our own server and as we grow we will more than happily invest in a Vent/TS server. Tops Shelf is open to players of all types from the frequent to not so frequent players and the new to the well seasoned veterans, the only thing we ask is that you do not steal from or kill other clan members and that you are self reliant when it comes to collecting your own equipment we don't mind helping members out but it would be nice if you would show a little initiative and pick up a few items first. On a side note we do have vehicles and of course a camping site for surplus tools and weapons we find. If you are interested in joining us feel free to message me directly on the forum or on our Facebook page. (http://www.facebook.com/topshelfdz)

Skill, Experience, Amount of people int h group, age limit, what program is used to communicate, current gear, any camps setup, vehicles??

no proof theyre 4 days apart also youre still a server hopper just looking for bases, if that was the server you played on and didnt just hop to it to find a base, why would you destroy some of the best vehicles in the game and not just take them..

Only if you already had the item saved in the tents/vehicles before upgrading.

won't it simply respawn after restart? except for the vehicles offcourse.

My server experiences very similar issues. However our issues are very intermittent. Sometimes the tents save, sometimes they don't. I have yet to have a vehicle save in a position it was in since the upgrade to 1.7.2.5. Our helo keeps popping up in new locations, as well as all of our vehicles. We've done testing with server restarts every 15 minutes after moving/saving things, all with the same ultimate end result. Tents are intermittent and vehicles straight up don't save.

Hello there, Possibly raging post here, but as of tonight, I'm done with this game in its current shape and will address why. First of all, to the people who will jump on me to tell "it's just an alpha", I agree with you, that's why I'll wait for the standalone. But to be a little sarcastic, dayz is in alpha while the hacks are in full release mode :) So let's back on topic, here are some things that made me quit this game (once again, on its current shape): - Item duping, and i'm talking as someone who benefited out of that bug. My friends and I setted up our first camp one week ago and realised soon that some tents were bugged when we packed/moved them, they reappeared at their initial position full of stuff, gg we now have unlimited items. Sad thing is we really wanted to delete some tents, but we just can't, the more we delete them, the more we have until the point where we have now 50ish AS 50, 15 ghillie suits, full ammo, full of everything, not even on purpose, every server restart, we're getting full stacked again no matther what we do. It leads to an obvious imbalance and create a boring gameplay since you don't have to farm anymore, just find one item and it's like having it on an infinite loop. - Vehicles : let's get it straight, you're looking for them when you're on the learnig curve, and at the end, you don't want them anymore, they're full bugged: can't past bridges, auto-repair/refuel when you leave them, so unpredictable they're not worth it. - Server Hopping: We spotted our first chopper on Starinsky, so my friends and I gathered around the island and one groupe got on town looking for a rotor. After a few minutes, we heard the heli flying around and crashed somewhere. Server hopping, what a nice feature. I mean, this network architecture can't work. You can't have private servers that feed a centralised database. It's just ok, let's find a server where we can abuse, it's all good, we will profit from that everywhere else. - Hacking: Second chopper found, server was empty. We repaired it, landed it close to our base where we know there are none close. One hour later, still a few people on the server but the chopper is gone. Many hours are also spent to recover from hacking death. After one hour of quad riding to grab a friend who just died from a hacker, i came back to the camp, while i refuel at the camp, my friend is blindly headshot at a close range (heard the gunshot so close), i stand up, check around, see the fire from a gun in front of me without seeing the guy: GG hacker once again, here we go again for a one-two hour run for nothing. repeat that once or twice a week and you just want to quit. - Server administration: I thought, oh well I'll handle hacker by myself by buying a server. Then I realised hackers have more power than you do, so yeah, you ban, sometimes not accurately, so yeah you need to hire a server admin that could spend his entire day looking at the log. But too late, the arm is already done no matther what. With people bitching everywhere about admin abuse, and admins being almost powerless with hacker, i don't know the point of getting a public server anymore. If you want people to run server by themselves, then give them some easy and powerfull tools to admin their servers. - And the ice on the cake, I logged off the game and got a global ban message when logging off. At first I thought, yeah might be a bug and I tried to log again since then, still global banned. No need to say I've never ever used a hack on this game or any other games (For what it's worth, I'm running a sponsored clan/guild since 2008 zzzzz). I read later on BattleEye that this a bug on their side and that they will unban, sill waiting for my unban. But it's ok since I'm gonna wait for the standalone so I don't really care about that. If i was caring I would have emailed battleye etc... So basically, we were looking to PvP this week and just had a one hour fight at zeleno out of 30 hours played together, I let you figure. The concept of this game is great, almost the ideas thrown into this game are - in my humble opinion - great. But everything around it is just unefficient to the max. So please, consider all those concerns in the standalone and hope those issues will get adressed cause once again, the concept is brillant.

Consider cases where an entire server gets killed, and all vehicles destroyed or relocated to the desert, im not talking about serveradmins cheating death and destruction, nor do i think that it should even be in their power to do so in a "hive based persistent game"

So far I can tell that vehicles are spawning just fine on our ID ~8700 server, still once rebooted the V2A truck turned into a bicycle. Surprisingly the vehicle seems to remember the state of damage it was in, as I was able to repair the engine of the bicycle (which was the only damaged thing remaining on the truck before). Seems like the vehicle class gets lost somewhere in the database during the save and reload process.

Not sure who, but was venturing out in the forests, saw two vehicles (Tractor and some kind of car), includine a person near it. Was looking to see if he would D/C soon after, randomly saw two ATVs driving toward me but I was proned in thick bush with a ghillie so it must have mate it hard to see me, I emptied about 6-7 shots of an AKM from 50 meters or so, guy got out of the ATV like nothing, then emptied the remaining clip (20~ish) directly into the second survivor. No dice, shortly after, one guy teleported directly behind me (I saw it) and started firing his Bizon, luckily since it's such a weak gun, and he's such a bad shot, I had time to abort before the inevitable happened. TL;DR: Two of the following 4 people other people on the server are suspected of hacking: DinoBarf, GodlyKills, mark, OldManMcD. Sorry if I wrongly accuse anyone, but with no nametags theres no way of knowing which. TL;DR: Hacker was GodlyKills, confirmed. He talked in game while spawning choppers etc. Good luck!

Unfortunately I have seen personally and read about numerous occasions on this forum about Server Admins actually restarting their own servers as soon as they lose their stuff or vehicles. So this sort of rollback does already occur. Personally I would be pissed though if I was on a server that got rolled back cause someone lost their precious car only to cause me to rollback to just before I picked up this leet weapon .. No easy fix im afraid.

Hey all, quick short story about our fun last night. A hacker hit our server, summoned us all to Electro and fully equipped everyone with the latest equipment and guns. Thankfully though no-one went postal so my friend and I were able to crawl away and then quickly abort out to change servers. This will prove a telling point shortly. We joined a new server, hadnt seen it before and the ping was great so we jumped on. Turns out the server had only just become operational so it was a race for the vehicles :) - My friend was running North of Berenizo, not far out of town and a helicopter appeared, must have seen her and began chasing with the occasional shot being fired at her, she was in the trees running but came across a clearing, the heli was there (turns out it was just lifting off after depositing someone) so I saying for her to shoot it !!, she is not much of a pvper but she had some nice gear from the hacker above so she starts shooting at the copter with her as50. Must have hit the pilot cause you see him fall out the side and hit the ground. Her success was shortlived as she was shot a second later. I run her back to her body and it was gone.. :(, so was the dead pilot however we could see smoke not far away so we went to investigate, theres a crashed heli on fire, took out some trees as well and there were a couple of bodies around it. She was able to gear up again off the dead bodies. Off we go, we meet up with 2 other friends and our purpose was to now find a couple of vehicles. Head back from Polana, we have a tractor and a blue S1203 van (this van took us hours to complete, we actually put 4 tyres on it, fixed it up and forgot to save it, came back and it was needing all of it again... ARGH, did it again and we drive off). Hacker hit... the worse kind, this type of the hacker is the one that is invulnerable and teleports :(, for some reasons the BE does not get these guys as this is the 2nd time is as many days we have encountered one. He was standing in the middle of the road, I swerved to avoid him but hit him anyway, he was intent of being hit for some reason, however this did not kill him. He then took out my friend in the Tractor behind us, I kept going and he teleports in front of us and calmly headshots the 3 of us. All 4 of us dead, It took me nearly an hour to get back to the scene but he had destroyed all the vehicles and hid the bodies... On a serious note though, have you server admin people thought of colluding and sharing your BAN files ?, im talking about server specific bans, some hacker finally gets caught by an admin and banned from a server, he just jumps on another server and continues hacking... would be great if you all got together so a ban from one server results in ban across many. Just a thought. Battleye is doing a swell job in banning people, saw quite a few last night but the teleporting and invuln hack seems to be missed.

are you sure they are not saving ? in my case they save all the time but what ever server i choose a hacker will log in during the day locate the ural and destroys it + the camp. i know the difference between an unsaved camp and a destroyed camp. i can clearly tell you the last 5 days , all my vehicles got destroyed by hackers . the save bug occured once and that time there where no wrecks or tents arround.

All I read there was "I can't dupe with tents/vehicles anymore 1725 sucks."

FUCKING SERVER ADMINS Bunch of cheating no good bastards they are! They all want to ban us and horde vehicles! They don't care about the community and edit logs to frame us! Hurr Durr I am community dipshit support team and you will obey the law! God this shit makes my head hurt. I can't wait for a standalone game with dedicated servers already. Hell I'm canceling my server as soon as my time this month is up. I follow the rules and haven't banned anyone yet, but this is just ridiculous. Fuck paying money for something I have no power to protect or no room to work with. This fucking game is broken at the moment anyway.

But there is still on bug between ID 6000-8000 Vehicle are restet if the restart the server. Partner clan report that bug on DE 925 I hope vehicles above 8000 did not have the bug. I wont waist my time...

Im in the Clan, we like fty but no he does not represent all of us. Quit being a tard William Wallace. And we revertedto 2.4 because of tents or vehicles not saving location or items. You guys are welcome to play w/ us when we revert to a later patch that has been fixed.

Weve got a or a few that really like to fuck with us. Opening doors and closing them, laying bear traps in walking paths of our camp, breaking legs, hoping in vehicles invisible so you cant get anyone else in. Its annoying, but the creative and less harmful ones do add something to the game youll never get anywhere else lol.
