So it started with we got blown away with our tents and vehicles.... And we found an odd marker on the map that said ''yup'' and we decided to go there since it was the only mark on the map. And we found this box with EVERYTHING in it. Soldiers cloths? Is that even legal to have? We looted most things and is it safe to do so? Please answer ^.^ Video:

First name: Jacob Age: 14, I am very mature though TimeZone: GMT +8:00 I can be on anytime we are planning something though. Why you want to join: I love playing with groups of people, and scavenging and raiding and it gets boring on your own, and this group seems really to my style of gameplay, and after looking at a couple of other applications I also see that this is a very good community of people who love playing DayZ, and I want to be a part of it all. Teamwork on a scale 1 to 10 as 10 being the highest: Definitly a 9 Do you have Teamspeak: Yes I do Do you have Skype(Only put Yes or No): Yes How long have you played DayZ(Dont Lie) About a month, I am pretty skilled though, I have found a few vehicles and fought many bandits and zombies, my record is 203 zombies killed. Thought I can make some competition if I get in, to get everyone on and trying their hardest to achieve their goal, and you goal.

A buddy and I have been playing Arma II/DayZ since the beginning. We've gotten pretty experienced. Welcome to the DayZ hitman service. Name a player, their server, and their approximate location. We'll do our best to take them out. We take on entire clans as well, however the approximate locations are needed. Also, the character must be online. We are NOT hackers, just experienced enough to have a high success rate in PvP. Screenshots of the kill/kills will be posted in this thread. Loot will be left on the corpse and coordinates will be given to the client upon request. If this is not specified, bodies will be hidden and vehicles destroyed or claimed by us.

You're right. I love this mod. That's the problem. I want to play it bug free but I know it's alpha. I know I didn't pay for this mod. The problem is, that bugs are fixed like the tents not saving but those graphical glitches and this spawn bug is actually a no go and I don't understand why wirefence and dead bodies are not going to be removed. At least until the devs found the reason for those glitches. All those exploits don't bother me. I play the mod without exploiting. All the bugs like items disappear in backpacks and so on don't bother me but those two bugs make the game almost unplayable. We lost 2 cars because of the spawn bug. And another thing is, we have 3 servers, 2 have vehicles from the first start but the third does not have any vehicles since 3 days now. I think that's not okay. Maybe they spawn the next 4 days but at the moment we have a server we pay for and it can't be used like it should. I can't promote it because there are no vehicles. We don't want to invite everyone if there are no vehicles. And all those things make me angry because at least for the servers we pay much money.

Well, afaik all you did is destroy the vehicles. The tents will respawn (most probably with gear) after the next server restart. So...yeah...nice explosion (and yes, did remind me of the Megaton explosion), but if those where my tents I wouldn't be too pissed.

So what would you call all facebook games and free to play MMO's or just free to play games in general...to say money shouldn't allow some advantage is just idiotic in this day and age...just saying they pay so you can play...and spend time on maintenance....and they should be viewed as equal...just saying...i know damn well the majority of people would feel entitled to some kind of advantage...or privilege, ya they can customize the setting (crosshairs, etc) but i heard that admins are actually pretty restricted settings wise...just saying...in every other game ive ever played admins have always used their power to kick,ban,or exploit, whenever they could...or just customize the server settings to what they want...but since customization sounds like its pretty limited for dayz servers...i kind of get why they find other ways to take advantage of being an admin (kicking, and viewing locations of vehicles and tents on logs [some one said the logs show vehicle spawns and saves not sure if thats true but if it is....that would explain why i never see any]

Regarding the first report: Hello HarlReddit, Sorry you had a bad experience on our server. Let me explain what has happened in the last two hours. The server is brand new... 4-5 hours I believe. I haven't been on for most of the day and I was notified by a few players that there was a hacker in the server. I sent multiple global messages saying that I was going to shutdown the server because I need to go through the logs to figure out what's up. Let me explain that I have never run a DayZ server before and I did not know what would and would not show up in the logs so it took me a bit of googling. During this process I locked the server and shortly after realized this was not allowed. My reaction was to kick everyone in the server and send global messages letting them know I was going through the logs and the server would be playable again in a few. I now realize that I should have stopped the server and then read the logs but I wanted to give players a fair amount of warning. The issue with this is that everyone kept rejoining. This led to a bad practice of 'pausing' the server and I've learned from it and it will not happen again. Just to clear up a few things the only admin is myself 'Brett'. The other two players left at multiple times but kept rejoining just like you. The next time I have a situation like this I will give a 5 minute warning and then stop the server instead of doing what I did today. I do however have a slight issue with you flooding the server with connection requests with your name changed and taunting us with a server report. The server is brand new and to see a player like yourself go off on me when this is just an issue of not much server experience was concerning. We welcome everyone on the server and we are sorry for this issue. Thanks - Brett === Regarding the second report: Another member vouched for you and it was a mistake that I didn't ban you. I just set down core rules to the server that include things like banning hackers and hoarders. While our server is not perfect it is 2 days old and things are changing. Once again I take full responsibility for not banning you from the beginning. You can rest assured that anyone coming on the server with hacked items will be banned as soon as I am made aware of it. I did not say I would ban someone if they touched a vehicle. The server was also not restarted 3 times because we were worried someone was in our camp. 1 - was a scheduled restart and the 2nd was because vehicles weren't showing up after the restart. Take care! ===== At this point the user was banned and so was his entourage since they were now harassing members in teamspeak. Users from his makeship group of griefers used new accounts(new guid) to bypass the bans and were able to play on the server without me knowing. They think they had a right to be there because it was a new account and I had no right to ban them because they had done nothing wrong on those accounts. I was only made aware of the fact that they were on my server when one of them killed me and start berating me about it in teamspeak. I banned them all again - not for killing me but for bypassing the ban. They were removed from my server for a reason and they had no right to come back. Ban bypassing be it GUID spoofing or new accounts should be a global ban issue imo. At this point I banned all of their IP addresses. Regarding me posting one member's IP Address let me first state that you have no expectation of privacy when you join a privately paid for server. Your IP Address was posted on TeamSpeak and Pastebin and will be available publically through the server's ban list. If the information isn't allowed on this forum then I will edit it from my previous posts and I apologize but I certainly do not apologize posting this guy's information so other server admins don't have to deal with his griefer group. Both members who have reported the server are in said group and they will continue to do what they can to get back at me. The conversation before he left was 'ban me and i'll report you' which I'm sure many admins are receiving these days. Good day!

Yeah, the server became self aware. It was putting all of its energy into spawning its children, the vehicles. Here you come, abusing them, getting them stuck, CRASHING THEM INTO EACH OTHER! Server couldn't stand it anymore, teleported you and shot you. Servers do that sometimes.

He has joined the server again and kept spawning vehicles and other shit. Unfortunately I don't have video evidence but these logs are now enough for me to now give him a permanent ban from the server. Can't have a lunetic ruin everybody's gaming experience.

Not one of mine. Never put tents and vehicles together.

You think that was a rant? haha what an absolute melt. Outclassed and owned? (now it's me who's chuckling) I already admitted we were all sitting in the vehicles you know it's hard to dodge 2 very good shots at your head... I didn't moan about it did I? You're (notice that's You're as in YOU ARE and not Your) an absolute tool mate! your clan members come on here and are in part pretty dignified. You on the other hand come on here and defend yourself like I've just insulted your mother. Get a grip it's a game I was asking you a question.. You don't like the fact I asked you about checking server logs lol... melt. Shepster no worries mate I wasn't accusing you of hacking! at that point we had literally just fixed it and the guy in the truck was AFK haha bet you guys were pissing yourself! We literally didn't have much time to get out of there if we tried. I didn't actually post on here to complain about you hacking. A friend linked me this post and I asked how does your server admin and leader know exactly who stole their truck? I thought I'd mention todays experience on here too but not in a negative way you, guys took us out fair and square (as i mentioned we hadn't even moved from where you left it). We're not pissed (it's part of the game right?) we've already regeared (currently on the hunt for NV goggles) the whole sinking bodies talk was just a little bit of 'trash talk' as in if we see you and kill you we'll return the favour. Although having to deal with your leader on here (who completely dodged my question by the way) shows up decent members like yourself. P.S on the Outclassed and owned comment (at least it wasn't by you! the only thing we see you own is Zombie kills) fight me one on one in Cherno/Elektro any time! you just send me a PM if you're game. We'll even go pistols only if you can manage it.

Yes it would be good enough to ban him. With cheat engine, some people use it to inject scripts into the game. Some people manage to spawn vehicles,weapons for them selvs,etc.

This game is just fucked now. I work hard to get my stuff running as in tents and vehicles etc, only to have one hacker break it all down. But what for? The 'giggle-factor'? Grow up hackers, I just wanna play my gaimz brah.

Hi! My friend and I are in search of one other to join us in-game! What we're looking for: Trust worthy Willing to play on UK and US servers Have Skype Aged 15-18 Your gear and experience does not matter. We are both from the UK and 16 y/o, European player much preferred but will play with someone from US too. We are casual, having fun, getting gear etc. Not 100% serious gameplay, but still aiming for gear and vehicles and what not! PM me if you are interested or have questions such as our gear, skype etc.. Thank you! ^.^

Yeah that wouldn't be bad, but not really needed either... I'd like to have the off road ability on more vehicles, or maybe add a body kit to my vehicle. (Not actually, body kit would be hilarious!)

I think like in real life you should be able to have the option to remove certain vehicle parts to put them on another vehicle. Mainly tires and engine parts. I also believe though that once you fit a part to a certain vehicle that it becomes unique to the vehicle type, an example would be you couldnt take an atv tire off then fit it to a Ural. this idea could go really in depth as far as making more unique auto parts in the game, so you couldnt just fit any engine block to any vehicle. this would make obtaining vehicle parts for certain vehicles harder. but maybe lower end vehicles would have parts that are easier to find or may be interchangable. Please leave your thoughts comments and concerns about my idea! Thank you

I use a dedicated server that I have full and exclusive access to. I have installed the upgrade then deleted and did a full reinstalle. I'm about to do a downgrade back to 1.7.2.4 After further investigations vehicles are not saving either. A bunch of us managed to find and repair a car saved it drove around for about 3 hours restarted and the car was gone. Went back to where we found the car and it was there again completely unrepaired. After reset we said screw the car and fixed 2 atvs both reset for those too. Also I had a bike name turn red when I moused over it went back to where I had been earlier and found that there was a copy of the same bike where I had been earlier and that that bike name was still green. Still facing no items saving in tents. And yes tents were actually working perfectly on 1.7.2.4

I'm sorry but it has nothing to do with hacks and cheats our server has been free of cheater and hackers since the update a couple of days ago (or at leased we and BE have not detected any), when we came across the url we ran to cherno to find the parts needed, it was a couple of hours later when returning we came accross you at the url, it was just bad timing, it took us by complete surprise seeing you there, and as you had fixed up the url before us and we killed, we couldnt believe our luck (we were slight P*ssed that we just wasted a couple of hours find parts) , and so we kinda expected you to post here. If you or anyone find any tents or vehicles we have or had and take them, then good for you, it shows we didnt hide them well enough so we deserve to have them taken.

Quoting this cause we have the exact same problem on our server. HIVE not saving vehicles, desytroyed ones never respawning again or switching them around like some crazy randomizer.

same story no vehicles at all now on day 4. count yourself lucky indeed.

Graphics bug persists on my server. I'm running Arma II Beta 95883 Dayz 1.7.2.5 and the 10 friends I've had on (all of whom are running the 95883 beta patch) have seen the graphics bug. I'm also getting quite a few reports of people getting stuck at loading, restarting and finding themselves on the beach in full gear. Plus, none of the vehicles or tents are saving their inventories and the vehicles are not saving their locations after a server reset. (been alot of running around today) =b Hope this helps. PappaFae

Same here; 7 days since whitelist and stll no vehicles; I'll wait patiently a couple more days... but I'm getting a bit peeved. Nothing I can't handle, just certainly annoying

My server still hasn't spawned any vehicles and its been 2 weeks since we purchased it; so count yourself one of the lucky ones :| *sigh* Anyone know when the tits this may be getting fixed?

This is happening on my server now as well. Vehicles and tents haven't been saving since I updated the server to 1.7.2.5 and beta 95883. Every time I reset the server it brings everything back to what it was a yesterday morning. Host is FHB, but I don't think it's host specific...it seems something is broken between the server and the hive. Thanks PappaFae

Hi there, The clan on my server are reporting that vehicles and tents are no longer spawning - after a server restart they came back, but are now after another restart (server crash) the bus and Ural they had turned into a single push bike. They are also reporting after a 7+ day wait for a helicopter respawn nothing appears to be there in the reported locations. I've heard this behaviour may be related to intermittent problems with the main DB, but I cannot confirm if that to be true or not based on the forums I am running beta patch 95833 and latest build - have any other people seen or heard any similar reports? Any advice to rectify the issue would be greatly appreciated - I've got some angry people asking me to sort it after patching it! Cheers
