What is the status of duping and empty respawns with tents after server restarts, and does this also happen with vehicles?

Isn't even remotely the same issue. If you had fully read the post you would have read that. We realize tents are bugged. But this isn't the same bug. This is all tents, new old, upside down, whatever. Vehicle inventories too, Vehicles themselves stay put just fine, but their gear does not. I even made note about how this is similar to just days before 1.7.2.4, where every new tent after the Millionth tent in the database wouldn't save inventory. Only this time its EVERY tent, and even vehicle inventories. Not trying to berate you for skimming over that, just, this is a completely different issue, and trying to find out if it is isolated to just my server, HFB servers or a problem with the database affecting everyone. If I can get close to nailing that down I'll go jot it down in the bug reports.

Vehicles should be spawning soon!

Vehicles are server based so they don't transfer servers with you. They also remain in game so store yours wisely so it doesn't get stolen. As for getting so many items, you can store them in vehicles or tents. Those have huge capacity.

I feel yourself and Bacon are missing my point. In my opinion, and in my eyes this game is seen as a zombie/survivor game. Not a Kill Each other, and oh it has zombies in it, game. The survivor part comes by scavenging for food/water, etc. That's the extent of the depth in this game, which has potential to be quite in depth. This game however lacks the replay value (reason for this post) in that players get bored/just want to kill other players/etc. There needs to be more to this game then just collecting all the cool stuff you want, getting bored and then killing other players or resorting to hacking/scripting/whatever those weirdos do. Hence the suggestion of adding more things to repair/build/scavenge to keep people occupied. The game is not hard at all, and it's not tense in any way shape or form. You guys keep bringing up things like "Stop running out in the open" and all that. No one is saying I, or others are doing that when they are shot. I've spent countless times rubbing my belly raw crawling around trying to get to where I need to be. When I was killed earlier (mentioned in this thread) I was trying to enter the NW Airfield Hangars, and there is only one way to get to them and no brush. I was prone and crawling, hence how easily he shot me. There is no tactical way to approach that. Throw out some smoke? Yeah, and attract the 10 zombies I was trying to avoid in the first place. Again, my opinion... but I don't see the point in gearing up just to camp out somewhere and wait for someone to approach just to kill them for sport (I say sport because there is probably little on them that you are interested in anyway.) To each their own and this is my opinion, my thoughts. We'll see how the game progresses for better or worse. It's gotta do something more to keep me interested though. Even if I had everything I wanted and camped out in the wild, surviving peacefully that will get boring. Maybe I'll go repair/collect vehicles and by the Jay Leno of DayZ or something at that point. Either way shooting people for no reason is still a tool bag thing to do. If you argue that fact then you're probably the toolbag shooting people for no reason, the end.

Tried working this out with support, and they can't seem to figure it out either. So, I decided to make a post here about it to pool other Owners if they're getting the same issue after the new update. *Server is completely up to date, both Beta and Day Z/Hive *Tested multiple times, this isn't the usual derp where the items didn't save. *Very similar bug when compared to the previous Million+ tent issue where the inventories didn't sync to the database. Except this time, its any tent as well as vehicles. *Thoroughly tested multiple situations with other users on the sever. I would normally post a bug report as well, but I'm holding off as I have yet to see any other user/server report the same problem, have tired searching, but perhaps my Google-Fu is weak. This isn't a new server, and as stated, this is A DIFFERENT bug compared to the normal hiccups and lack of saving, positions of vehicles save as well. Its inventories of both tents and vehicles which do not save, either items you take out, or put in. Basically breaking storage all together. So if any other Hosters/Owners/Players are getting this same issue, or have found a post regarding it, please post. I'll put in a formal bug report if itsnot just an isolated issue.(unless a mod wants to move this, this is more directed at server owners, and may only be pertaining to JUST my server.) Any help to this would be much appreciated. :)

player video with a hacked/scripted Map !!! look at the video the map shows players and vehicles in some forums he say "Yes i hack its kinda fun". Please ban this retard

Considering my guildies play on this server and we went to some effort to get a decent size camp with vehicles, weapons, and gear. I really don't want to go to another server.

awesome talking with your team last night :) was in a rush to config my mumble, hence the username :P i'll need an admin to change it for me or else i will be stuck with that username forever~ nyahaha i'll look out for one when i trek this early afternoon :3 How i ran into the script kiddies: Was trekking up north peacefully, minding my own business when suddenly, i heard a buzz high up in the mountains. I look around and spot an ATV and a GAZ in the distance (zoomed in, they were but tiny silhouettes in my 24" screen) driving south-east so I prone and think, should i engage or just chill? i wanted to test out my DMR on their vehicles so i head to the nearest forest behind me while i watch them. Suddenly, an Offroad Pickup Truck pops out of the air and i thought it was just lag. A few secs later, the Truck disappears and i hear a soft engine near my location so i look left and OMGWTFBBQ! it teleported near me. So i stand up, seeing the truck approach me, thinking he wanted to run me over, i panicked and shot him in the face a couple of times with my assault rifle. nothing happened, then he tried to run me over XD! so i dodge, and fire him a couple more times but nothing happened :3 i dodge some more, shooting his vehicle, popped his right tires and then aimed at his face again. The tires are magically fixed and I realized what the hell was going on so I ran for dear life. :P I head for the forest, hoping those trees will provide enough cover for me to get away but the trees were too spread out. He tries to run me over a couple more times but i dodge like a baws a couple more times (screaming OLÉ afterwards) then i notice his truck was acting a bit trippy. I dodge him one more time but alas, he got me after X tries. Broken bones and shocked, I Alt+F4'd and died in a different server, which made me realize, no point cuz my body will disappear anyway and they don't really need my gear since they can just script it in. Thinking, "man, the gear i had on that guy was quite nice", i decided to try my luck and rush to my body after spawning in Elektro. Luckily, I found an Old Bike and it cut down my travel time ALOT. got my phat lewt back, and searched for their camp, but found nothing. :P The whole engagement was hella fun. If anything, I know my aim isn't off for CQ Fire Fights, and I could be a Matador of some sort when facing trucks in the forest. But yeah, moral is: if you encounter a script kiddie/hacker, you WILL NOT win so GTFO -immediately-! XD Hopefully the standalone will be hacker free :)

Terror is my 2nd name. Must be 18 or older. 19 Preferably EU/UK members but we may take International members too. France then moved to French Canada. Although I am above fluent in english ;) Must have their own supplies there wont be any handouts at the beginning. I was a spotter for my friend who left yesterday :( Rangefinder,L85,m9 silenced, alice, everything to make my own food :D We do not accept any d/cs, hackers or server hoppers. I may have some connection issues in the next few days because I just moved to a new place but my internet connection should be up and running in the next 48-72 hours ( right now I'm tethering from my phone which can give me high pings on some servers and kick me out, but it will definetely be fixed in a short while. Must have played the game preferably for atleast a month or for more than a week at the least. 1 month and counting Must know the chernarus map and were the the main loots spots are. I am very familiar with counter sniping spots, so if we are to raid big cities, I may be a good addition ;) Must have skype or teamspeak preferably both. Both, including Raidcall Contact me asap pls Edit : As for extra gear I have some tents spread across the Hive so no matter where we will be I've got a camp waiting not so far. Most of my camps have been up for weeks and never been raided. I have a few vehicles also but I am mainly interested in getting a chopper up & running ;)

That has been a coincidence. I am the only admin -- and leaving aside the restarts today, I don't usually restart the server manually -- the only restarts that happen are the automatic restarts at 0600, 1200, 1800 and 2400 UTC and restarts when updates are applied/released. Sadly, the recent betas have tended to sometimes crash the servers, too, after which the server auto-restarts and sometimes loses the vehicles until it is synched again at 2400 UTC. :-/

I dropped the gun and crashed the chopper, but can you get banned for using hacked gear/vehicles?

I too am having the same issue. Instance id in the 8000 range and no vehicles. We got a downed heli once but that is all. This makes me a sad panda:(

I began playing on this server a few days ago when vehicles began spawning. I repaired a few vehicles and made a camp then the next day some of the people in my group began getting banned for hacking/cheating . After this the server began advertising that they will ban/kick any one who is PVPing. today myself and my friends were banned on the server.

The cows say "mooooo" scared the living shit out of me, one dead hostile cow! Also. tents and vehicles seems to have been wiped, atleast so on the two servers i frequent most. (not back after restarts either.)

Yeah, it's sad, I'm all for people stealing my vehicles and taking them to their own camps and continuing to play on the server, but instead people are just out there to cause grief to servers by destroying all their server's assets, leaving nothing but a massive crater. The worst part is that the change to the respawn time of vehicles encourages griefers to do this in a server, as once it's done, it can't be undone for 7 days. In minutes, or even seconds, a hacker can send a single keystroke and render your $50 server useless for a whole week. Come on Rocket, give us something to repair our servers from these attacks!

Consider the ratio of guns to vehicles in DayZ. It is very unbalanced. In any nation how many bicycles are you going to find versus how many guns? The ratio itself perpetuates the PVP in the game. It isn't simulator it's a death match game running under the guise of an apocalypse simulator.

For those of you who don't like open ended observations or long posts, stop reading now. I'm just putting it out there for discussion.... I came to the DayZ party relatively late, and I'm having a riot of a time, but there's an observation I've made on a significant portion of the community that I'd like to reflect on. I do not know how many of these people there are, but I think they make up a significant minority of the total players. A majority, well, I don't know, maybe, maybe not. I have no figures, but I will observe that this attitude permeates various discussions relatively openly. I will call this group the "come to DayZ to not play DayZ"ers. No, I don't mean the hackers per se, its obvious they aren't playing the game properly. Lets ignore them for now. And no, I'm not making prescriptions about what, if anything, should be done about it. Nor am I telling you "what dayZ should be". I'm making an observation.... So what am I talking about? Well, its not black and white, but the easiest way to picture it is to think of some of those aspects which, on an intellectual level, make DayZ...well...DayZ. Those things that really stand out from other games available, and I think we all know what they are to some extent: Permadeath and losing your items on death Scavenging for your equipment Stark finiteness of resources The feeling and disorientation inherent in isolation on a big post-apocalyptic world Spontenaeity of random social experiences etc etc etc... So the easiest way to talk about the group who "play DayZ to not play DayZ" is to go down such a list and look at the desires/gaming style that has developed, and ask "Do those things apply?", or "Is their entire mode of operation geared around making sure that such game mechanics do not apply to them". Observe: Permadeath: People are specifically organising their game to avoid this mechanic. They love to talk about it and how "hardcore" it is, but they don't REALLY want it to apply to them. That would suck. And so they play with a group of friends, and organise it so that if and when anyone dies, they either race back to get their stuff, or their friends take it and hold it for them. Scavenging: This is a grey area, and comes in a variety of forms. Loot maps, server hopping and camping specific locations to get respawning equipment, and clan stockpiling. It is when a person is not wandering the wasteland/wilderness, stumbling across those rare finds, setting up a makeshift camps to store a couple of beans. Basically, when your gameplay stops representing hunter/gatherer type behaviour, and now resembles loot-agriculture. Stark finiteness of resources: Item duping, clan camps with all sorts of vehicles, unlimited ammo bugs. Lets be honest and say that the number of people running around with ghillies, sniper rifles, nvgs at the moment makes a bit of a mockery of the "rarity" of these items or the scarcity of resources. I think a significant portion of the community doesn't really want a stark finiteness of resources to apply to them. Disorientation/isolation: Some people just come right out and say they don't want this(I'm not one of them). Starting alone, unarmed, unsure, vulnerable on a beach. Having to find survivors. What kind of sucky game is this! They want to be able to start immediately with their (preferably well armed)pre-arranged friends. Spontenaeity of random social experiences: Part of this, I think, stems from the other aspects of "not playing DayZ". A lot of people are complaining that "everyone just shoots on sight". Now, I've been lucky enough to have a couple of social experiences where they don't, and they were almost always spontaneous encounters by chance, earlier on in the game, and specifically where the other aspects of "Playing DayZ" actually applied to us both. Scroll down the list above and think for a moment. Are the people who "Play DayZ to not play DayZ" going to shoot you on sight or take that chance to come talk with you? I think the former. They aren't in this for the "DayZ experience". Now the funny thing is I'm all for player killing and bandits. Its one of those things that keeps you on edge, and every now and then there's someone, or a situation, where you just have to put a bullet in someone's face. But lets also be honest and say that part of the problem, if you accept that such a problem exists, is that a significant portion of the community is specifically tryig to "not play DayZ". They do not lose anything appreciable when they die, they do not have to struggle to survive, they are not lost or alone. They are generally farming the game rather than playing the game. Their goal, probably, is to log on to farm equipment, to kill people with their friends while playing as much outside the initial game mechanics as possible. Now, I sort of expect this observation to not go down very well with some, in part because its a truthfull observation and a description of how alot of people are playing the game. People really don't like being called out on what they're doing, especially when they have visions of themselves as "hardcore gamers"(whatever the hell that means). I do not have a solution prepackaged. I am aware that many will say "this isn't a problem that needs fixing". Personally, I admit, I think the game would be better if fewer players were involved in this type of behvaiour. If it were impossible to "avoid the consequence of playing DayZ". Consequences of permadeath should apply to all. I am not against clans, or social gaming. Frankly, I relish in the opportunity to take them on. But I do think that if your clan was "hypothetically wiped out in a confrontation", then your clan's equipment should, like your clan and your single player life "be practically wiped out". Have to start again from scratch. Keep your social ties. Lose all your stuff. To the victor go the spoils. Same as everyone else. Discuss.

Located a repairable helicopter. Server is Chicago 56 on skalisty island. The Hull is the only item green. I am not interested in having it myself because i play on a crappy laptop and lag and performance are really bad in vehicles. Free to first come first serve.

I never see any vehicles anymore when playing except for choppers that hackers are spawning.

Try going on a server that has a high number like US 1568 or higher and try and find some there, pretty much all the old servers' vehicles are taken by groups or admin

there's no set way to find a vehicle. Its all chance. My best advice, go base hunting in forest areas there you will find vehicles

Hello, I have been playing Dayz for about 3 months now. I have found 3 vehicles in my first 2 months, but that was when I was a noob and lost them almost instantly. I havent found any vehicles lately and I really want I have been to almost every vehicle spawn in the map with no luck. Does anyone have any tips for finding them? Or would like to give me one (Very unlikely) Thanks.

me and my guys can use some help...i guess...we need medical suppies and stuff to build vehicles....we are on server:us1213

My 2 cents (some scary people here).... 1. Playing Solo Less risk in dieing Carry less supplies Unable to heal as easy No communication with others Vehicle repair far slower Traveling can be tedious 2. Co-Op Very high risk game-play Can carry more Heal easier Kill easier High stress game-play (chance to get back stabbed) Very high reward game-play Someone to talk too Repair vehicles quicker Can take a long time to meet up with friends Im still a bit of a noob but I far enjoy co-op more then solo. Solo is ok at the start to just run into a city and gear up but slowly starts to become boring. With co-op, I love having a good chat and plan our next move. Yeah, the risks are high but if you have been playing as long as I have (games in general), you find a challenge in a game and you try to beat it. Games are about risk and if you don't take those risks then whats the point? I find it very disappointing that today's gamers will see 'risk' and avoid it to the point of killing new players. Not only that, but they state a "positive" reason for doing it which "makes it ok". Hitler made killing Jews the "right thing to do". Maybe I have a weird way of looking at things? Gamers are gamers and I want to play with them. Its a shame so many these days don't see it that way.
