To this i must say, if you refer to sunday's incident, there was a scripter who teleported every vehicle and player in middle of elektro, so obviously we restarted the server and after that the vehicles disappeared from the city as if it never happend.. So i belive that the vehicles were sent back to their original locations, where they were before this script kiddie did his magic.. I have played there lately kinda much, and surely i have seen hacker or two sometimes, as in any other server, but i wish to hear about this server restarting as well? Since only 3 people have access to the server as far as i know.. (Even i dont have that access, so we can expect that it's well guarded from admin abuse which is caused by 10+ people having access to something they dont need).

US 2136 4 days with no vehicles

Thank you! I am hoping that with soo many people having this issue they will address it. Go Dayz Dev Team. You can do it. We love you and just want some vehicles from your awesome Dayz HIve!! :):)

Day 8 no vehicles on server here also. Feel free to read the whole story here. http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/67426-new-server-no-cars-4-dayz-without-carvehicle-spawns/

There should be an "uberbandit" skin, for those with humanities below -100k. I'm at -600k and getting worse every day because people are dumb enough to drive their vehicles on the coast and end up getting AS50'd. I think destroying vehicles lowers humanity by quite a bit. Lost 100k humanity in 5 minutes by AS50'ing a heli out of the sky and killing the crash survivors with a MK48.

Thanks for the info urbanfox! Heh, the one thing I look forward to most is people no longer asking me if vehicles have spawned on my server yet.

You should check my topic out due to exposure i got staff to respond. http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/68541-no-vehicles-spawning-on-new-server/

Hackers can see where all vehicles and tents are and teleport there. Thats what I think happened. Don't mind guns but I had put my ghillie in there for save storage while I was cycling to NWAF :((

Hi, We recently rented a managed DayZ server, but it is looking like it is a 'recycled' server: There are tank traps, sandbags and barbed wire in all the major towns, and vehicles are nowhere to been seen. What does one do in cases like this? Rebooting the server doesn't seem to reset things, or is this something that needs to be done in-game with admin commands? We're not looking for any advantage, but would like to start off with a clean slate for everyone. thanks

In the mean time, im going to keep camp hunting. and when i find any sort of vehicles, im blowing them up. and i will run over any tents in 1320. already got 2 camp locations down. gotta go run em down soon.

I sometimes simulate what it would be like to play with a controller by using mouse + keyboard with oven mitts on and keeping my microphone on all the time so people can hear me breathing, drinking and chewing. lol, had to have a little fun... I'll bet the vehicles drive more naturally with a controller tho. Being able to "hot swap" between a controller and m+kb for vehicle driving might be good, if the game indeed drives better with a controller. I rarely get to drive anything other than a bicycle in this game tho lol My experience with vehicles in DayZ so far... Tractor... rolled backwards into a tree upon entering, crash @ 10 kph max... killed me instantly (first time I got in a vehicle) ATV... was missing a wheel, wanted to see if it would move at all... flung itself into the air a couple hundred feet after a couple seconds of trying to rock it back and forth to see if it would move. I tumbled thru the air like a gymnast figuring I was about to die. Somehow I landed without injury. I thought it was best to destroy it and run like hell and never get in another vehicle again...lol!

You should be able to have the hosting company erase the server completely so it resets the sandbags tanktraps and vehicles. Shoot them a message and see if they can. At most they would have to erase the dayz server files and the personal data it creates for the vehicle tent and all those other pesky things and then reinstall it

Look for clan of survivors > find clan of survivors > just say they are survivors and actually shoot EVERYTHING > dupe items > horde stuff in one corner of the map > freak out at eachother when items/vehicles disapear. There are no Bandits/Murderers/Survivors lmao. I have learned this, there are just clans / groups of people who shoot other people and collect valuable pixels as they try there best NOT to actually play DayZ.,

Would like to see certain wildcard cars, with no storage, that respawn after x amount of hours of not being used and cannot be saved. That would be awesome. So many servers have all the vehicles hoarded.

more vehicle spawns + the new vehicles? no That would be to much vehicles. but yeah more different vehicles would be nice^^

Yes, we know that lots of you like to PvP and you like to say so in the threads like it's a joke never heard before but we know, already. However, I keep coming across people in Dayz who tell me they think I'm unusual in the way I'm playing the game but I don't think I am. I suspect there are lots of us out there, and I've come across quite a few who are taking a similar approach. My approach is this: I play for the fun of exloring the Dayz world. I loot for food, drink, essential items and try to find what I need to hunt. I want to be able to hunt for myself and to travel from town to town without worrying where the next can of beans can be found. I don't particularly want to be off in the hills, a lone survivor. I like meeting up with people for parts of my journey. It's great meeting people and sharing with them, helping each other and swapping stories about what we experienced. I do know this game would be nothing like as good without a microphone. I have never shot anyone in Dayz, and won't unless they are shooting at me and I can shoot them first. Truth is I'm usually sniped, so I never see who kills me. I don't kill zombies unless I can't avoid them. Shooting seems to end in bad results for everyone, so I avoid it. I'm not against shooting people who want to kill me or my friends because I know I am harmless. So they are always trying to kill an innocent player. Often I don't carry more than an axe, so anyone who kills me is most likely hiding in hills in the distance. And I see that as cowardly and childish. I was once shot in the head by a looter but I don't blame him. He didn't even loot me. I think he was running through and trying to stay alive. Probably thought I was a risk, though I had broken bone and was lying on the floor. So that's my way. I like meeting people, everyone I've met via skype in Dayz has been great, good fun, friendly and helpful. We haven't all shared views. Some were looters looking to go PvP but not while with me. What I find touching is no matter who they are, because of this forum and what I've said here, they know they can trust me. They know I will never shoot them and so I get a great reward helping newer players to have someone to interact with safely in their first day or two. Then I tell them about the people I've met and they contact them too. Of course, I get tricked and killed sometimes but that's all part of life in Chernarus. You can't take it personally. You have to look at things with a pragmatic approach, smile and move on. :thumbsup: I've learned about myself in Dayz. I know I'm a loner and find it easier to survive without the distraction of other people but I also know it's lonely being alone and that a mix of time with people and time alone, works best for me. What about you? I know Bianca has a fascinating approach to the game. She too seems to spend time alone, meeting up with people from time to time. She's very independent and looks out for vehicles to fix. I can't imagine even trying! :o So what about those of YOU who are also taking a non PvP approach? I'd love to hear what you do. For example, medics! What about lone survivors? Or groups of friendies? Or RPGers?

Vehicles should despawn if not used after 7 days... As for the rest i believe u are stuck with them, as they will reappear at server restarts

first off when u find a vehicle u can "save it " so after rebooting server, only the loot will reboot, second of all, All the "clans" on the server have probably take all the vehicles so far north you can go , and hide it in the woods. gl hf to find them... they will only respawn if they crash it :)

Me and my pal fuelled up our chopper and decided to give it away + have some fun. The plan was circle around & land in cherno/electro and defend as long as possible. Problem? yes, no one was there. We flew around the whole map and the only people we saw were sitting on the rim (maintaining vehicles? or w/e ) or around the woods in NWAF. That was around 8pm on a server with ~25 players ingame. Not a single one of them around the coast or big cities. Also berezino, stary sobor... empty. We endet up circling the NWAF and landing in the middle! of it. I wasnt even shooting at people just watching their behavior. They were all after the chopper and started killing each other in wester woods of the NWAF. I saw a ghillie guy shooting a 3 man team through my scope. As 2 of the team tried to run out of the forrest I shot some bullets in front of their feet so they return to the forrest and they did. Got killed there by ghillie guy. Then I got shot by as50 :( So I couldnt watch how the fight ended or who got the chopper. Also only 6-7 ppl died during this fight. Pretty boring tbh since I expected everyone coming for the chopper ^^. Is this how ppl play the game now? Just camping the forrests around NWAF and hang around their camps? Only fresh spawns in cherno, electro? Probably it was a bad time or just the wrong server..... Oh and btw, I got picked up and drove back to the NWAF to loot my body and no one bothered to loot it? gps, 2x nvgs, l85.....

If implemented I'd suggest making it a vehicle, like a Utility Truck (Repair): - would require multiple generators as well as standard parts and fuel for repair - could only function if the vehicle was immobile/engine off, this works since the towers would be man-portable anyway. -the generators would eat at the trucks fuel supply, forcing you to balance potential movement with duration of jamming. -recolor vehicle to sand color (if necessary) and make engine noise play when the generators are on, keeping the vehicle just as noticeable as an antenna would be -due to generators and additional fuel the truck would have no additional cargo capacity, room for a driver/single passenger only. -it would be considerably slower than similar vehicles due to added weight of jamming equipment, generators, and additional fuel. I think a better solution to ghosting/server hopping to farm should be sought, but as a player driven initiative for it and as a gameplay feature for the end-game and groups this seems like a decent solution imo. It would be difficult to find, and even harder to fully repair and then move given that it would be a massive target in the open. If the jamming items are carriable like an antenna/generator then people will find a way to dupe and spam them over large areas.

14/08/12 Afternoon: Tents/vehicles vanished again..... :( (submitted a ticket to trinitygames.com)

At this time we are encountering some problems with vehicles spawning on new servers. We are working diligently to correct this problem and your patience is appreciated. I understand not having vehicles on your server is extremely frustrating but please know we are aware of this issue and are working on a solution. To clarify, yes, this is only an issue with new servers. We understand that vehicles are a huge and needed addition to your servers and we are working on fixing this issue and getting everyone up and running.

Just got killed by a hacker up north where I found 2 tents and 3 vehicles with 2 hacked items, AS50 AWS and M4 Holo SD. I failed to get a screenshot cause I got killed by the hacker. There's only 1 other guy with me in the game at that moment. His IGN is Jarvis. I encountered this hacker at around 11:30 PM GMT +7. I couldn't ban him cause I didn't have the privilege as a full admin yet.

The time you spend running around to fix up and fuel the cars would probably be longer than what it would take you to just run up to nwaf area. Then there is the probability that it will be gone the next day or two. The chopper might be worth it since you can at least use it to find camps and vehicles and loot and destroy them. At least if you destroy them right. Remove everything from them then save them and then destroy them.

Today CS:Go can be bought :o. If anyone is near devils castle and wants 2xNVG's a coyote backpack, l85 +3mags, as50+2mags maybe not full, 4 svd clips, 5 bizon mags, rangefinder, map, military flashlight you can have my stuff. I wont be playing dayz much until they fix vehicles, tents & graphic bugs I'm in Europe and wont be online next 24h but after that I'm glad to pass my gear
