no i stopped playing there. hackers took my vehicles ;(!!

Servers USED to respawn vehicles once restarted. This is not the case anymore. Now they take 7 days. It's a pain in the ass. Anyone know if HFBServers will just reinstall the whole server so we can start from scratch?

I was mainly referring to aesthetic things. How your character moves, looks, the items you find, the vehicles, where things are placed, etc. I'm also not suggesting to get rid of the military grade equipment of course, but having civilian based objects/vehicles/clothes/weapons/etc much more common and accessible. Environment wise, yeah, I'm definitely expecting to feel th vibe of a military presence though.

It only makes sense to have a strong military presence as one would expect to happen at an outbreak like this.. And it lends itself pretty well to the gameplay given that there are awesome weapons and vehicles strewn about. However it would be undeniably cool to have large urbanised areas, maybe even a small city... It has so much potential.

Ok so as some of you may know, vehicles now take about 7 days to respawn on a server after being destroyed. At the time I thought this was strange but acceptable, but now, it seems with the explosion of hackers (at least on my server) people are running scripts to either teleport themselves to vehicles/camps or just nuking the entire server. All vehicles can be destroyed in one fell swoop (which is the case on my server from griefers), so now my server has no more vehicles, everyone (EVERYONE, even those who aren't in my group) has their tents/camps destroyed, basically an entire server demolished by hackers. What's the point in even continuing to host if there is no incentive for players to play there? Just a big empty map with loot. I'm getting pretty frustrated by this whole experience. Please review the respawn time for vehicles or have an option for admins to manually trigger a respawn of destroyed vehicles so their servers are playable once more.

Vehicles can be used for travel, but no gear is to be stored on them. I'm trying to keep the playing field as even as possible and not rewards groups that play more often durng the week and therefore can stock pile the gear for the weekend events. Personally, I wish DayZ would take away tents and storage of gear in vehicles. With the duping as it exists today, the threat of death is significantly diminished as players can simply run to their vehicle(s) and be fully geared without having to visit Starry, the NW airfield, deerstands, and downed choppers. Forcing people to visit these areas to re-gear means more PVP opportunities. At the moment, most "PVP" occurs from a sniping position 700+ meters away.

some people think that if they have payed the rent for the server they can do what they want, lock it and take all the vehicles, restart when they get killed. the only think they should fo is kick hackers and restart sometimes..

And thats not to mention it uses the 7.62 as M14 aimpoint and DMR, which mags can be actually converted for the M24. To be quite honest IMO only noobs and badshots need AS50.. (alright I admit it has some use against vehicles actually, being 50CAl and all)

You see, the thing is, I have had items in my vehicles disappear before. I cant hold all of my stuff with me. I have to store it somewhere. Not to brag, but I have a lot of valuable stuff.

is it still possible ? i thought it was fixed some time ago...

If all you're after is a FFA deathmatch in the city.. you might as well just fire up ArmA 2 and drop the entire DayZ mod altogether. You'll have access to more maps (including the one DayZ uses), more personnel equipment, more types of gear, more vehicles, better respawn mechanics etc. And you won't have annoying zombies getting in the way. And ArmA has a crazy number of mods available for it that can improve sounds, gameplay mechanics, etc. If you listen to Rocket's numerous interviews, you'll know that DayZ was really designed to encourage cooperation between players. Obviously it's not doing that very well, but the point is you're trying to fit a square peg through a round hole and (because of that) you're always going to be struggling against the setup and limiting the amount of fun you could have if you followed the advice mentioned above. You also might want to check out All Points Bulletin: Reloaded. Lots of modern day urban combat happening there, and it's free to play.

Well my clan 'The Hellsing Organization'. We are very organized at a time we may have 10 members in our teamspeak at once and you may think its a cluster but no. See what you need to to do is have 1 - 3 camps and any new recruits should be given atleast a couple of weeks training before being allowed to use or know where 1 of these camps are this is so if they do happen to expose 1 of your camps you will still have supplies/vehicles left elsewhere. Camps usually shouldnt be confined to one server you really need to expand so that you have other options.

Having different bases per ranks is actually a really good idea. Don't want the guy who joined an hour ago to know where the elite weapon caches are. Don't want the guy who joined yesterday to know where all the vehicles are. Don't want the guy who joined a week ago to know where the Huey is. Never heard of your clan, but there are plenty out there - go find another or start your own!

I don't understand why you're suggesting no tents and no vehicles though? I definitely don't want to play like that, but I do like playing in a squad and obviously won't stand for duping, logging, or hacking. -Joker

tents seem to have doubled there since this thread started and im guessing they were using the no tree/bush/grass exploit to find vehicles but since we were stealing their vehicles taking our stuff back for 3 days straight they made new camp somewhere i believe

I am saddened to announce that shortly after the first exchange, we returned to our camp to find EVERYTHING destroyed. The huey, supplies...gone. I'm sorry, folks. I don't know how it happened, if it was a hacker or just sheer bad luck, but the raffle must come to a close now :( Should I ever feel comfortable resuming it, I will update this post to let you know. Regards, Zex RULES AND PROCEDURES (READ EVERYTHING!) - To enter, just make a post in this thread asking to be entered for the current drawing. - You must have had 5 posts on this forum as of yesterday, UTC -5. - You may only enter ONCE for each drawing for a total of 6 entries.

Depending on my schedule, it could be 30 minutes or maybe an hour. I'll let you know. - Once the time frame has passed, additional entries for the prize will NOT be taken. You must wait for the next drawing period to be announced. - Not only will the winner be random, but the prize will be as well. I have written some simple Java code to randomly pick a player and prize package for each drawing. - I can contact you via either the forums here with a PM or Steam.

I will announce when drawings will be closed and when winners are picked, so be prepared! DISCLAIMERS - To protect the location and integrity of our camp, I do not have any screenshots. Therefore, it would again be appreciated if winners would vouch for our legitimacy after the transaction takes place :) - You may bring ONE friend with you to pick up the loot. If you do so, you MUST tell me beforehand and give me the in-game name of the player. - I will not cater to known hackers and will check post histories before setting up the prize. - If you attempt to sabotage the meeting or break our terms of agreement, I will do my best to destroy the gear and you with it. You may also risk me discontinuing the raffle, and that's just not cool. - Prize packages with vehicles are server specific, obviously. - I am not responsible for the loss of any of the prizes, especially the Huey. I will do my best to secure a safe and speedy transaction of goods, but once the gear is in your possession I am no longer responsible for it. - I will discuss more specific details with the winner like the location and server via PM.

Hello dear admins from US 351, I have a simple straight forward question, with a little backstory: A couple of days ago I stole a helicopter fair a square (Mostly because of the beautiful headshots) with my buddy. We called in another guy and we started flying happily over the little survivors. A couple of hours later we notice someone looting the NW airfield with a ural, wich we engaged with the heli. The guy probably logged out and we stole the ural. We drive/fly up north to secure it somewhere, and not long after the chopper/ural is beeing shot by a single guy. Flying uphill to evade him we see a HUGE survivor made camp consisting of 2/3 vehicles and a lot of tents, totally baracaded. My buddy secured the ural and we shot one vehicle down so no-one could get away (other one was a bus, so yeah), and tried to loot the camp. I sayed tried because two of us went down and were sniped by a survivor, gaurding the camp. Now that was the end of the night for us, so I stored the vehicle somewhere and logged of. I had to be out early so I checked if it was still there. Since it slided inside the trees cause of a really ugly landing that was just really stupid, I hoped i could get/glitch it out (it was between the edge of the treeline and in the treeline). When i logged in the chopper was still there but the engine was damaged and the fuel was less then when I last stored it. Suggesting someone did try to get it out but failed. Only the engine did work somehow, so question mark there. Three hours after; Server is OFFLINE for 1,5 days. When it was up again, I checked all three spots. Chopper gone, Ural gone, camp gone. My question: Did you guys make the server local (copieng the server files to a local pc) or whatever, then relocated the camp because it was comprimised, finding the chopper and ural in the progress? OR did you guys fully sweep the server clean...? I am not accusing you guys with anything, hell it might not even be your camp. I just want to know what happened to my dear chopper. Greetz, Tikas

that issue isn't the same as fresh servers not starting with vehicles.. this is an entirely seperate issue, wish people would stop linking that.. the disappearing tent/vehicle thing has been around for awhile and a restart easilly fixes that.. I just bought a server 2 days ago and we are still vehicleless it sucks.

+1 for making the app. It doesn't work very well on my iphone 4 however. I've got the same problem with it locking up. I also lose the button options you have for vehicles, notes, etc. My iphone is jailbroken and I'm not updating to a newer ios version since the apple ios sucks ass. Good luck with your project though!

We will update asap, but waiting on.. ZZzzzilayer :) Just want to mention the server is about a week old, but there's still vehicles about in the open. Saw a white GAZ just an hour ago, crashed into a pile of rubble in the southern part of Polana. Go fetch :D

Hey Meades, I am one of the admins for US 501, we take a lot of time to parse through logs every day and ban anyone that appears to be scripting / teleporting around the map / spawning in vehicles and weapons / using illegal weapons. There has been A LOT of hacking as of late, and as such we have been banning more and more people for obvious hacking (just yesterday the whole server got teleported into the ocean, a guy teleported around to different players as god mode, then later in the day 4 choppers showed up). It's possible that I made a mistake in your banning, which is why we list the email of our server as soon as you log in - for direct access to us, the admins. If you can PM me one of the following two things: Your full in game name at the time of your ban or your IP address. I will look back through the logs and verify what I had seen, and if we made a mistake I would be glad to unban you. Thanks for playing on our server.

I found a camp on my server similar to this, but with about 10 vehicles. It's still there, saving it for a rainy day.

Tents / Vehicles are not saving! The server that I was crashed (about 20 minutes after I saved my shits in it) and it disappeared! Any reason for that? in 1.7.2.4 wasn't with this problem.

I was elated when I happened upon a camp to the west of the NEAF around 2PM CDT today. There were several tents and a couple vehicles. After looking around for snipers I entered the camp hoping for a shiny new as50, and boy did I find one. Actually, I found several, some of which had the name AS50 TWS. They also had about every other kind of weapon you can imagine, though I didn't see any other weapon types that shouldn't be in the game. There were also several satchel charges in the tents, so I put one of them to use. Instead of the AS50 I had hoped for, I snagged a satchel charge, jumped in their pristine offroad pickup, and ran over their tents and into the other vehicle before setting the satchel charge on a timer and getting the hell out of there. I didn't get to see the explosion, but I did get a satisfying kick for script #55 that sometimes accompanies exploding vehicles. I don't expect that will slow them down much, but it was worth it even if it just annoyed them. Could someone look into this please? I love the game, but spending hours hunting for a lousy AK seems kinda pointless if assholes are just going to spawn this crap into the game.
