Do you prefer playing on a Veteran server with a maximum allowed ping setting, and don’t abort, alt-F4 or combat log during PVP? Are you looking for a fresh start to the game, along with protection against hacking? If so, then please consider making US 790 your sole DayZ server. Clans are encourage to join, as are groups of friends who consider themselves a squad or fire team and just want to enjoy the game as it was intended. There will be server wide events each weekend. Sometimes it will be straight-up team deathmatch (no respawns permitted) and sometimes there will be an objective involved with respawns permitted. During these events, the server will be password-protected, so that hackers can not ruin the fun! After the event has ended, the server will be re-opened to the public. This is really my last attempt to try and deal with the hacking and provide a place for players to enjoy the game. If I don’t get enough commitment by the end of August, then I will shut the server down permanently and just wait for the standalone game to continue any serious DayZ play. However, if I do get enough commitment, then on Friday, August 31st, we will have a server wide event to find all vehicles, strip them of gear, save them, and destroy them. On Sept 1st, at a pre-designated time, we will all gather in game for the sole purpose of mass suicide. Once everyone is dead and waiting in the lobby, I will restart the server, and it shall begin anew! We will agree to not place tents, not put any gear on vehicles, not dup gear, not play on other servers, not take gear from public players not involved in the events, not make use of other account(s) to gain a gear advantage, and not use hacks of any type. I could be wrong, but I believe there are clans, squads and fire teams out there who want to play the game like this. If your clan, squad or fire team is interested, please contact me by private message on these forums and specify the number of players in your group, along with your normal play time(s) in terms of Eastern Standard Time. There are unfortunately two US 790 servers and HFB servers has been unsuccessful in correcting this on numerous occasions. My server is the one hosted by Gangrene, has a veteran designation, and is located in North Carolina. There is a maximum ping allowed of 200. Thank you!

I've a m4a1 cco sd, we only accept vehicles you got any?

AS50 is quieter, more accurate, higher muzzle velocity, less bullet drop, less recoil, and can use both types of ammo (and does almost 180k damage with AS50 mags, better for taking out vehicles). I personally have little difficulty estimating ranges by eye or memory, but maybe I'm alone on that one.

Yea, we considered that as well - but felt the teleport coupled with the timing of his login and the hack was suspicious. I understand what your saying but scott was a new player to the server, that was his first log in - so if I have banned him wrongly he has lost nothing (no vehicles, tents, ect)

Any fix for the tents, vehicles and helicopters included? They still aren't saving items no matter if saved or not. And the chopper just respawns unrepaired after server restart. Just asking so far.. Bugs are still present and the server is always up to date.

I posted about a randomized map here: http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/66004-what-if-the-map-was-randomized/ And yes, the more randomization, the longer the game stays fresh, no out of game assistance or relying on experience. Now you'll have to navigate using the in-game map, check landmarks etc. No magically knowing where vehicles and loot will appear, or the best sniper spots and pvp hotspots.

Greetings ladies and gentlemen. I would like to offer my services to a trustworthy clan. I am a bit of a lone wolf, I like to work alone which is why I have not officially joined any clan as of yet. I would like to find a clan with an established base of operations, I would like to put my skills (and my life on the line) to work gathering food/ammo/medicine/ect. I'm not much of a soldier, but I am great at sneaking around. I'll get you whatever you need, I'll even sneak around and repair vehicles if I have to. I am looking for a friendly clan, no dickheads please. I would also like an active clan with a larger playerbase. I don't mind working with groups, especially in a bigger city like Cherno it does not hurt to have someone watching your back. A bit about myself: Age - 26 Personality - I'm nice to friends, after all I like keeping my friends. I am cautious, and I play the game like someone is aiming with me at all times. I don't need anyone to hold my hand. I'm a kid at heart, and I have a good sense of humor. If you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours. Play Times - I am in the est timezone, I will often play in the morning and afternoon. I have Tuesdays and Thursdays off work so depending on my schedule I play evenings, I log off when it gets dark because I'm far too blind irl to play at night. On Bandits - I am not a bandit, but I will kill someone if I have no other choice. You can be dead in less than 5 seconds in this game, so I treat any unknown players as a threat quite often. I will not randomly kill someone for shits and giggles though. I am not interested in working for bandits. P.S - I have a microphone but not a headset. So you might hear a few other voices around me :D

really? with my clanmate we met 5 hackers in 2 days. Killed a guy who had a ghilie suit an AS50 NVG/GPS/technically everything. we want into the forest for several clicks away from that location. The same guy appeared with AGAIn in a ghillie suit and having AGAIN everything he had before. yep he humiliated us so we lost our hard earned items. next server, we get some stuffs finally for all of us, same scenario. we invade Stary Sobor, a guy spawns (with Ghillie...) in 1 of the military tents while my mate is there he gets killed, i get to kill the guy... so i hide on high ground so i can guard my friends corpse till he gets back to get his stuffs back. Yet the guy which i just killed happens to be back at stary sobor under 2 minutes with AGAIN A GHILLIE with some thermo scoped M4 which is even silenced and almost kills me. Lucky me, he was a terrible shot and i could kill him. Right after that my clanmate told me to disconnect and just forget his items. Yes, i disconnected. i dont want to get teleported into the air and die. on another server we got teleported around, another guy spawned in vehicles... 1 guy was even some karate moves which killed any1 who was aiming at (?!?!?!?!?!) Hacker problem do exist and battleye is NOT enough to handle it. the Scripting needs to be removed as a whole from DayZ. It's not a fix... but a good start.

That is an entirely unrelated issue. You are not shutting down the server properly and the new database connection is established without the old database connection terminating first. This results in the vehicles not being streamed. Please make sure that your server is properly terminated every time you restart the server; ensure that it is graceful, not forced. Lastly, do *not* use the engine-command #restart. As for vehicles: The vehicle-seeding process is semi-automatic and typically happens shortly after instance creation. It may however, worst case, take up to seven days before vehicles spawn on a specific instance ID after its creation.

This is a great idea. I mean, since this game is meant to be realistic, we should be able to keep our vehicles hidden while we have to log off. Since, in real life, we don't just "log off" for long periods while we sleep/eat/toilet/etc.

good idea in theory, but its just more loot for the hoarders that already have both helicopters and most of the vehicles stashed away at their filled to capacity tent city. also would be to easy to find in one of said helicopters.

This was an issue for me when I first bought my server from Vilayer. My ID was 6083, and we had zero vehicles for about 4 days after we purchased the server, then they showed up randomly after a restart one day. Still though, I purchased my server about a month ago now, and from what I've seen, NO ONE has found a legitimate helicopter on our server. We looked for over a week, and it was not spawning at Skalisty or Skalka or the observed spawn locations. We grid searched the entire map, no helicopters. To this day, it is not spawning at the spawn locations and Vilayer, my provider has basically told me "This is DayZ's problem, and they'll have to fix it." So, we've pretty much given up on ever getting a chopper, which I don't even mind anyway since it's only good for quick transportation and ingress/egress in more dangerous areas quickly, or providing support for someone. I wouldn't take the thing and let the M240s loose over Elektro or something, I see no point in that.

Well looking at some of the posts on the forum, I don’t blame them for not replying to everything. However I do think that issues affecting long term play such as vehicles do need a solid response. The issue has been listed on the known issues page, but it doesn’t accurately reflect the problem or give an ETA on a fix. Well we are all playing the alpha to find problems like this, there is only so many bases/vehicles etc we can lose without proper acknowledgement of the problem. I love the game and even have my own server. But without a bit more communication around the bigger issues that take up a lot of people’s time, I do think players will stop playing the alpha and wait for the beta/release. Which obviously won’t be good for development.

Think it would be good if electricity generators could be included, requiring fuel like vehicles and possibly needing a vehicle to move them as a heavy object... could be used to power lighting at camps, not great for your lone player but those with large organised camps could have spotlights around the perimeter for night time security at the expense of being a glowing beacon :) also having watched the arma 3 demos im hoping diving equipment will be included in the standalone dayz!

Confirming this. New server up for about 24 hours then we restart and poof, no more saved vehicles.

Yeah, the server actually crashed. It happened twice yesterday. Myself or another admin will always announce an intended restart 10 or 15 minutes before hand allowing people to get somewhere safe, or save tents if they happen to be near them. Wasn't happy when it went down, to say the least...but I can't complain all that much as the server performance has been rather good coming from Vilayer. Actually, that helicopter was spawned in by a hacker. We don't have a chopper actually, but when the helicopter showed up I checked the logs to be sure. Was 100% definitely spawned in. Caught a nice "createVehicle [uH1H-DZ] script(As well as him spawning an ATV for himself a few times), and promptly banned him. I think it was still flying around, or maybe someone else got it. There were actually a number of hackers on yesterday that were dealt with. Couple of which were invincible and killing people in elektro with thermal AS50s. I guess the server picked a good time to crash because it would of deleted that chopper since from what I know, spawned in vehicles won't save after a restart and despawn.

I have driven a lot of vehicles, but I have yet to be a passenger on anything but a truck. Is it possible to fire as the passenger while on the back of an ATV or Dirtbike? I used the search and found a lot of vehicle threads but nothing I could see to answer my question...So i am looking to the community for the answer. Thank you in advance.

did u make that up? NATO isn't a caliber first off and second there are a lot of weapons that use NATO sanctioned rounds... so doubtful the use of one forces all vehicles to suddenly combust... sounds like you don't know what you're talking about

Hello, Today when I logged on I ran 3000 m to my camp, I found out that everything was stolen, And I saw these guys riding past my tents up on a hill where they had all the vehicles and a camp with all my stuff, I went up on a hill next to it, I've shot 3 guys, Edward, Adora, Fonessa, Lexxure Directly after I shot them they shutdown the server and It's still not back up after 10 minutes. Why are you even able to host a server if you're gonna have admins that shutdown the server when they die... So lame. Can anyone else see the server down? Otherwise did I get banned? EDIT: The server is up now and the first player in is Lexxure... EDIT2: I now shot Lexxure driving around in his UAZ. EDIT3: Now I suddenly get kicked off for script restriction 55

there is a group who is hiding vehicels outside of the map on a server. they move the vehicles every 12-20 hours so they wouldnt despawn...

but you miss something .... why the hell is every vehicle broken?! its a normal city and before the zeds came there where thousands and thousands of cars ... i think there should be more vehicles esp. bikes and cars ... but thats another thread :D

I figured out why the player count is dropping. PRIVATE SERVERS!! It was so much fun working with my clan mates last night to acquire the helicopter and establish a camp with vehicles. Its even nicer to know that when we get back everything will still be there. Log back into our server that is connected to the hive this morning and my ATV is stolen and my tent is dumped. FK the hive.

Server is Back online!! We are having a official launch.. !! All Vehicles are respawned! -- Join now!! Have allot of fun :)

Like Tom316 said - how long is your server running? Although I can say that on my server vehicles were present from day one.

I Restartet a few times, but no Vehicles spawned on their normally spots...
