Seems awesome. making vehicles more valuable to actully get away effectivly. But what if the group has a helicopter, it will need some way to destroy the helicopter.

thats the point. brutal yeah? i dont want to see society rebuilding with vehicles and fences and forts.. i want survival to be priority at all levels of the game. also even if you are a target, there is a fairly slim chance of him actually reaching you... and the payoff for killing him makes it /part desirable that he does. ultra zombie, predator, zombie primarch, whatever you wanna call it. make it hunt people that succeed, so that society can never rebuild.

US1896 US1896 is currently just over one week old. We are inviting people to come join us and have some fun. Most vehicles are still on the map and the helicopter will be spawning in a few days. (Some player got disconnected while flying it and it crashed and blew up) I tried to restart the server for him since a scheduled restart was only 15 minutes away (since I seen where he lost connection) but the chopper was gone and left a huge dent in the trees where it blew up at. I currently have myself and one more admin keeping watch pretty much 24/7 to make sure everything is running smoothly. We are based on -6 CENTRAL TIME ZONE and our hosting is out of Dallas, TX. Also the server restarts every 6 hours, 3am, 9am, 3pm, 9pm CENTRAL TIME. Other than that I just wanted to invite you all to come try us out and maybe a few will stay a while. You can contact me via steam http://steamcommunity.com/id/DeviantDesigns or send me a PM here on the forums.

i want to disrupt the dominance of large groups. the worst thing is if a large group member dies, he can easily be rescued from the coast and get his gear back, hence defeating the permadeath mechanic. i would like to see one ultra bad ass, cloaked, and horrifically destructive zombie, permanent for each server, who travels towards the longest survivors, the largest groups, the highest murderers, and locations with many functional vehicles. i think predator should automatically destroy all the loot from its victims (dealing with beyond permadeath rescue) and should he fall in battle, offer a not unbalanced reward, like an arm mounted self destruct that it triggered when you die, or maybe temporary infrared vision if you eat "predator" meat. if only one per server, should be rare enough. forces large groups to stay on the move, or if setting up a base, to suffer anxiety for it.

It's sad people think BF3 is realistic... Ammo pool, self healing vehicles, mav kills, tiny maps, insta respawn, ammo and heath boxes, magic repair tool... the list goes on. Try playing ARMA2 properly - hell even DayZ - forn while and you will see how close to cod BF3 has come - CoD with Tanks. BF2 PR was better, but now it's meh. P.S the fuck would I go to Elektro for? Everyone knows it's a noobtown

I would like NVGs and a Ghillie Suit...except I am relatively newish and don't have great gear/vehicles to get around...oh well I'll contact you in the future if I get anything to trade..

I don't think that I've seen this suggested yet, and I don't really expect it to be in the game. I just think it is kind of a fun idea. What if you could modify vehicles in the game to add stuff like armor and weapons? Think: the A-team. Take a regular car, truck, bus, etc. and modify it by welding on armor and adding guns. New items like welding kits could be added along with stuff like scrap steel and sheet steel for making the armor. Mounted weapons could be limited to launchers and LMG's which you would have to find in the usual ways. Armored vehicles could have reduced speed and visibility (eye slits for drivers and passengers being the only way to see out). Mounted weapons would mean that you would have to give up at least one passenger capacity for the mounts for weapon and ammo. Steel and welding kits could be extremely rare items, maybe the most rare in the game to keep the "tanks" from being too overpowered. That would help make these "custom" armored vehicles very rare themselves. I can see the problems and abuses that would come from this, but I still think that its a really fun idea. If not DayZ, some game needs to do it. Imagine the looks on people's faces when they hear a small car coming toward them, getting them excited thinking that they can kill the occupants and take their gear and maybe their ride too, only to see that it has steel plating and a M240 attatched to the roof. *edit to fix typo

Some vehicles just want a vacation, so the DB brings in temps to take over. Or maybe they just 'came out of the closet', or you just caught them cross-dressing, and you'll just have to accept that. It's just some motorcycles are just born wanting to be bicycles, you know. Why shouldn't a Ural who longs to be a colorful taxi just follow its dreams and be a damn taxi. It just hauls your ass around like a taxi anyway. Who are you to judge, man?

Wipe EVERYTHING. Get rid of all the loot that everyone has. Get rid of EVERY tent in EVERY server. Reset ALL of the vehicles. Make EVERYONE start from scratch. I would fucking love that.

O.o Never happened to me, but I havent found a lot of vehicles anyway.

The other day, a friend and I took hours to fix up a UAZ, then stumbled across a motorbike and a bicycle in the exact same area. We were hyped as hell, but when the automatic restart rolled around our vehicles were completely gone. Running back to where we found the bike, it was there! So we rode back to the UAZ spawn and that was there too, completely wiped in need of FULL repairs. We save our bicycle and restart just to see what would happen to it, and BAM it turns in to a (fully repaired and fueled) motorbike. One more annoyed restart and the vehicle is gone completely. I locked the server this morning to test it, and every time I move and save the bike it's back at it's spawn point on restart. Sometimes the bike is back at the spawn point and a motorbike is where the bicycle should have been. Any one have any idea what is going on?

I agree with a wipe but vehicles still dupe all items in them pre patch

I still get artifacts with the new patch. Also having problems with vehicles saves. They seem to have their gear wiped each server reset and they always want to end up in the exact same place before the update.

This is the site I pull up on my laptop to use for guidance lol. I've been trying to find vehicles using this map since I got Dayz.

This is a good place to see where vehicles might show up, not to mention it is just a great resource in general for getting around in DayZ! :) http://dayzdb.com/map#4.029.122

Did you fully stop the server and restart it? Apparently there are two kinds of restart and the proper restart will only bring back vehicles\tents

I "lost" my V3S and my Bus because the servers they were on aren't online anymore. This is getting on my nerves and my team are expecting to get those vehicles back or get some new ones. Now I was thinking that since I got the Bus from a friendly survivor who knew where one spawned, I was wondering if anyone else knew where some vehicles, broken or repaired, spawned. I can give you compensation if the vehicle is up to specs. If you're not "giving the vehicle away" then my team and I would be glad to help you on your adventures. Now I know that there will be trolls that post things like "Haha stupid survivor, did you really expect to keep something for more than a day? Get a life" or "Ya I know where a vehicle spawns. It's a small village outside of Skalisty. It's called yo mama's ass." If you don't want to help, then don't post.

I tried resetting twice but the placed tents and repaired vehicles are gone.

Just wanted to report that I have found a server where I can ride a vehicle for hours and no resets or kicks happen. The server is fairly low pop and does not appear to be under the control of any one clan. This experience is completely opposite from all my previous ones on a variety of busy servers, where every discovery of a vehicle led to either a kick or a reset. I am now more convinced than ever that losing vehicles to reset / kicks is part of a deliberate strategy by server admins protecting their clan's vehicles. This kind of abuse will remain rampant in the stand alone unless servers are centralized and control taken away from the existing admins.

My server the tents are not saving and vehicles dupe everything pre-patch that they had in them

We have to restart our server(s) twice all the time in order for our tents/vehicles to show up again. It's annoying. Edit: We even restarted twice but it seems like nothing is surviving a restart.

Near the edge of the map, on the edge of the map and just off the map on higher up areas etc.. Have found everything in these areas, from vehicles to lots of tents with gear.. Ran into people a few times, killed a guy loading in, so I would be careful all the time.

I've been reading some topics about this issue... About vehicles missing and tents emptying... is this accurate?

Did you just admit that you server restarted to get your vehicles back? Besides that it's amazing that everyone who harms something of yours is suddenly a hacker when they have seen the items you have in your extreme camps on this now less than a week old server.

"So, recently we killed off 3 clans from playing in our server. and now there are no more!" No, you did not. We've been the same people with different names. "We are the only large group left in server ZDU." Large? there are like 4 of you. The ZDU server barely gets above 9 players unless our whole clan is on. "We are looking for more players to be actively involved in the ZDU server community, my group or perhaps to play against us." New people to play with you? You mean spawn a URAL with maxed weapons and gear, and spawn near player coordinates to kill them? Play against you? You mean ESP other players in the server (Like you have been/just did to us for the 3rd time today) and spawn 2 URAL's with maxed gear/weapons and kill them/us and STILL GET WIPED OUT BY OUR CLAN FOR THE 3RD TIME? OH, don't you think it's a little coincideltal that right when the server becomes outdated (Though there was no update) that all of our vehicles are gone? So, you rolled back the server/Restarted the server, so you could prevent us from getting on the server (though I rolled back my files too and saw everything was gone) and getting our gear? And the URAL's that you spawned with the max gear? That we stole and wiped you with? Freaking pathetic. Your server is a joke. Your little "clan" is a COMPLETE joke. You are a couple of sore loser scripters who still got their lives wrecked by us, legit. You have no class, no skill, no integrity, nor any respect in the least for other players. You die, and spawn your cute little selves new gear to go back, crying, and try and kill us. The fact that the OWNER of the server is involved is all the more funnier. We have everyting caught on footage, 1080p HD, along with various screenshots, of you all and your little scandals. We've contacted "BattleEye" about the issue, and your withering "Community" Which has mainly been US, will be Blacklisted and banned from the Network. Have fun becoming a private HIVE server, and having nobody joining because of your pathetic antics and garbage sportsmanship. -HellJumper |BMC| + |YIFF| + |TBL| P.S.
