Not when everything you had on you is easily attainable again within a 30min - 1 hour. And especially not when you have friends who can guard your body and let you get everything back withing a few minutes. And especially especially not when you have tents and vehicles set up with even more gear out in the woods.

So you've made 3 posts on this forum and you decide you're a moderator now? This thread is not about who is or is not a fan of Seananners, it is about hackers, deliberately using hacked items and hacked vehicles, using hacked exploits like teleportation and god mode, and encouraging hacking. Seananners said at the end of his video 'this was awesome' 'this was the best thing that ever happened to me' and if you read the majority of comments on his video he very much has promoted how fun and awesome hacking is and a lot of his fans now want to hack and think hackers are awesome. This is a real problem, especially with the already rampant hacking in DayZ (and other games)

There are two reasons why me and my friends have stopped playing a lot... #1--Why spend so much time gather stuff if there is no way to actually save it. Our vehicle and tents keep dissappearing or just deleting stuff and its really got annoying. There is no reason to spend hours repairing vehicles and collecting parts if it wont be there tomorrow night. #2 Hackers/Cheaters/Script Kiddies--Our server has been under attack for the last 2-3 weeks, which is why we think all our stuff keeps disappearing. They are the real reason this mod will fail.

I've been playing Dayz for the last 2 or so months now and a hacker would occasionally come on a server and kill everyone, spawn vehicles everywhere, ect. But over the last 5 or so Days I've been killed by hackers at least 7-8 or so times on a different server each time. Has anyone else had increasing difficulty with this in the last week or am I just unlucky? Also didn't know where to put this topic so I figured General Discussion would work.

Server restarts at CEST 02:00 - 08:00 - 14:00 - 20:00 - the only rollback was from 95660 to 95417 due to instability problems - serverside The rollback was done by gamed!de - i dont have acces to do the rollback by myself -.- Sry, we also cant save vehicles - all i can do is to ask the gamed!de support to do a rollback to a earlier version of dayz - i will write a support ticket and give an update tomorrow I will write a support ticket in a few mins and give you some infromations later - i know it is very annoying -.- will try my best why should i cheat on my own server? ^^ i pay for the server - there is a thread about what admins can do and what admins cant do on their own servers - you just had bad luck - if you can give some more informations like the time it happened or names of the player who have stolen your heli then I can try to help you nope we cant get the positions from the heli - we actually dont have acces to these files - just ask the gamed!de support ^^ The server was down due to the network upgrade by gamed!de - it was announced I will write a support ticket trying to get more informations for you - will post it later in thhis post oppa EDIT1: Support ticket has been written - just asked them if they can do a rollback to a version where vehicles will be saved and whether the heli will spawn or not. more informations later EDIT2: A rollback to a earlier version of dayz is not possible - we have to wait for the next patch -.- sry

Just happened to me on US 128 as well to everyone, within a minute of me logging in and finding our camp completely emptied. Talked to my buddies and apparently it was raided by a hacker with a bunch of vehicles and NPC soldiers while they were on earlier. Awesome. I checked the GPS coordinates, it appears to be so far south it's outside of the borders, so why did it save my position when I immediately quit? Thought being outside the border (such as the debug wasteland) would cause you to be put back inside the map...

Anyone else feel like certain skins, vehicles, and weapons have been selected from other expansion packs so that people buy them? The most annoying example is the L85 with thermal. The scope is MUCH nicer if you have the correct expansion. I usually dont ask for anything for free, but Bohemia Interactive should either give us all PMC and BAF for free as a thanks for the HUGE influx of sales, or atleast gives us all the high res textures for everything included in this mod. Because of the players playing dayz and word of mouth Arma 2's sales have skyrocketted making Bohemia tons of extra $$$.

The more i play and add people and pretty much just expose myself to this running simulator 2009, i find out what people are on the inside, i find peoples true colours and im not liking it. This is wrong on so many levels, after i started playing a friend of mine whom i have known for years before this and we have played game after game together and had alot of fun together, he bought the game so he could play with me, i taught him how to play i taught him how to find things and whats good and whats bad and generally how this game works, and this was over a month ago, earlier today he let it slip that he had a vehicle and a camp on a server we frequented, and he never told me... I have had camps and vehicles but i always shared them with him, and then i find out he has one and never told me, and his reason was, he didnt want his items dissapearing, and after i confronted him about it he just ignores me and THEN i find out that hes found a clan, who has been known to hack, exploit and generally break the rules in every way to get ahead of everyone, i thought i knew this guy, we were friends for years, and i just find out hes the one thing in this game that i hate most, and hes all of the above, and he never even told me or asked if i wanted to join him or anything. This is basically the force, this is like the current star wars, more specifically this is the Knights of the old republic, there are about 200 thousand good guys, and 1 million bad guys, this is the embodiment of the dark side at work, all my friends are turning to the dark side while is stuck on good guy hill with my pants down while people snipe me. And i tell you, it doesnt feel good... Im guna go drown myself in ice cream and videos of people being douchebags on dayz, i feel like crying manly tears of hate and neglect.

The devs have stated in another thread (you will have to search) but it can take anywhere from 2 to 7 days before vehicles will spawn on / in a new server. It will also take a server restart for it to happen during that time. A new server will not instantly spawn will vehicles and stuff right off the bat. It takes time for the hive to spawn them for your server.

Most of us stopped playing since the drama in the clan. Most of us are either waiting for stand alone DayZ or a patch to fix some of the major bugs in this mod. Others (some of the better people in the clan) Are going to other servers to kill since there isnt many people on ours. Many dropped their tags to not scare people off (many clan members in one server) or just don't really want to be part of the clan anymore. So it is entirely possible those were other people and some of the gear might be ours. I wouldn't doubt it at all. Considering many vehicles have been destroyed someone else could have fixed it up.

I was driving around today offering rides to noobs and some kid server hopped in on the hill north of Elektro (I'm certain he hopped in because I had literally just checked it for dudes before going into town). He blew the truck up with an AS50, I was inside... but I didn't die. Regained consciousness with 200 hp and bandaged and ate 30 steaks like a man. Scanned the hill and didn't see him, so I booked it up the hill I was on to some trees. I figured he would come down to loot my "corpse" but he never did. He just dced after blowing up my truck, never to be seen again. Yay! Fuck the people who play this game. Also, our stash was raided so I don't have my backup ATV either. This game really needs a safer way to store gear/vehicles, like being able to make traps and shit. And there needs to be a better limit on where you can put vehicles, me and my group have combed the entire border of the map repeatedly looking for vehicle camps and they're nowhere to be seen. We check the spawns after every restart too and got nothing. Either people are still finding ways to hide shit off the map (like hiding it off map and just logging in every 23 hours to touch it so it doesn't go away) or Brazillians have discovered how to dig tunnels and hide vehicles under ground.

Buup! Wrong. Something is wrong with the streaming of objects from hive, i know this since i was into private hives before i got my legit server. In my server we had tents and vehicles, all saved and all good, they were all staying for 3 server restarts and now the vehicles doesnt spawn anymore, anywhere. This im 99% sure of since i get many reports from my players that had saved vehicles and from my own experience with my saved vehicles, i've more or less searched the whole map and found nothing but heli crash's, not crashed HUEYs, crash sites.. with loot. Tents seem to come and go as they want, one restart they're there, one restart they're not. Im really disappointed at the way the dev's handle the situation providing us with no info whatsoever, and im pretty sure they know what is going on.

Yesterday we found on 2 servers 3 AS50 TSW, today we found a G36C SD, yesterday we killed a guy with a soldier clothing, we found RGO Grenades in a guy we killed, we were killed about 10 times from hackers in Elektro (6 to 8 man Squad). We found another G36 last week. 3 days ago a hacker ported every vehicle to one place, a guy ported eveyone to the airfield, a guy nuked the server, another one bombed whole cherno and spawned choppers everywhere, another guy spawned hundreds of vehicles on our server and our base was looted about 6 times from hackers. And so on and so on... Battleye is even saying they are aware of the excessive hacking and they can't do anything. I really start being frustrated. We are a good organized clan and most of us are progamers and we have no chance, although we play absolutely with tactics and everything. No chance. That's ridiculous and if there will be no change in the near near future, dayz will be dying. I've read many posts about hackers, but since we are more at the cost like Elektro, Now I know why. It is really getting annoying. Do something!

I am looking to trade weapons of all sorts for clothing(s) Ghillie Suits, Camo Clothing and Soldier Clothing, I got all sorts of things like NVGs svd camos mk 48s as50s whatever you want, we got it, (excluding, vehicles, clothing, and crappy weapons like double barrel

Did you save the vehicles or just hide them? Cause if u don't save em they will go back to last save when server restarts.

For the truly hardcore player there should be options to choose a character class if you want. This is instead of the pilot, engineer, medic class systems that some people want. Amputee - no legs, can only crawl. Blind - pretty obvious. Fat Bastard - needs 10x the amount of food or starves - cannot enter some buildings. Smoker - cant run, needs to smoke 40 a day or shakes uncontrollably, but melee damage is increased due to anger Woman Driver - cannot drive vehicles. Vegetarian - wont eat meat, can only run for 1 minute before passing out. Jehovah's Witness - cannot accept blood bags Alcoholic - needs to drink dregs of whisky bottles every 10 minutes Anymore?

Did you read what you quoted? I wrote SAVED vehicles which means they have already spawned been repaired and all that.

im below 6000... 2092 to be exact and i have no vehicles...

The community is unanimously against classes in the stand alone. I get this and I am too for the most part. I think there is a better idea for this though that more people may accept or agree with. My idea is more like you pick a trait when you make your character. Hear me out, because I know this sounds ghey at first......... It's kinda dumb that anyone can just hop in a huey and fly it (though most people just crash I know :rolleyes: ) ARMA Domination required you to pick a pilot before you could fly any aircraft in the game. My idea is a character trait chosen at character creation that dictates your success with certain difficulties in the environment. Nothing to do with starting weapon or what weapons you can use or how well you shoot. At creation: (M/F) Before the apocalypse you were: (Mount and Blade style)...... Some examples: (these are just examples off the top of my head and I put little thought into them) a pilot - You are able to enter and operate aircraft if you ever find one. No one else can do this. a hunter - You can butcher animals with better precision and the carcass yields 1 extra meat. Anyone can butcher animals but the hunter starts with a hunting knife others must find one. a mechanic - You are able to repair most vehicles as long as the parts are made available. No one else can do this. a doctor - You are able to treat wounds, sickness and successfully perform blood transfusions or set broken bones if you have the proper equipment. Anyone can bandage but doctors are needed to perform blood transfusion and set broken bones. a cook - You can make any campfire a banquet. Food cooked by you yields extra blood. a student - You start with a small back pack. No one else does. a thug - You can hot wire other peoples vehicles. No one else can take owned cars because they don't have the keys. Anyone can take an unclaimed vehicle. These are just random examples to make my point. I think giving individuals value would decrease the kos epidemic as well. As it is I kill anyone I don't know because their only value to me is what they are carrying. If individuals had skills of value I might be more inclined to let them tag along. I want to re-state that No trait should ever alter the rules of combat. This should be left to individual skill. I just think its more realistic that individuals have more value than their loot.

So, you're incorrect. Here's why. I'll take your first statements at face value, as I BELIEVE (though I'm not certain) that that's how it works... brand new server will spawn them there. People find and move them, and they persist. If/when the vehicle is destroyed it will eventually respawn. So with that system you should, on average, have about 19 to 20 vehicles per server (to account for the ones that are still awaiting respawn). Either way, close enough. The problem is where you say "50 people". You're right, that's a standard server size, or close enough to it. Hell, you've even got plenty of low pop servers with 10 or less, right? So I should be able to log onto a server with 15 people and the game turns into Grand Theft Auto: Chernarus, right? Well it's obviously not. Why is that? It's because your population of '50' is absurd. If you just take the last 24 hours you've got (number of players in DayZ) / (number of servers) players that have been on that server, on average. so what is that right now... 173,000 / (approx. 2500 servers*) = 69 players. And that's only in 24 hours. In reality, when you factor players vs. vehicles, since the vehicles persist across server resets, you count the number of players since the server came online, since that's the amount of people that could have found that vehicle and driven it out off the edge of the map, or at least the corners somewhere. In any case, the math is irrelevant. You can easily observe that vehicles are rare as balls. Far more rare that your statement up there would suggest. hoarding has created a scenario where the LAST place you look for a vehicle is a city or town. You look deep in the woods. The only chance of finding a vehicle anywhere near the kind of places that you would ACTUALLY find vehicles, is when someone gets themselves killed while taking their tractor out or whatever. That's about it. All the other vehicles are stashed away in random hideaways. I honestly think they should spawn more often (a couple hours after a vehicle has been taken from the spawn point, another would spawn, for instance), but be subject to decay (if neglected for more than a few hours, parts start to go bad... actually becoming broken after a day, exploding after two days of being left alone, for instance). That way they're not LITERALLY everywhere, especially on a high pop server, but you still stand a reasonable chance of finding one by doing normal survivor crap. Seriously, while typing this, I've decided that when I play tonight, I'm just going to go make a circuit around the edges of the map and destroy vehicles. And play with them. But also destroy them. *number of servers comes from http://arma2.swec.se/server/list?mquery=DayZ&nquery=DayZ&page=1&state_playing=1)

After we finished the looting, my friend had to go so we hid our vehicles and hope they'll be there when we log back on. The End. I've never been that excited in this game before

So here I am logging in with a friend after a few days of not playing. I spawn on one side of the map where I left off while my friend played a few times since I've logged so he's somewhere on the other side. Since he had a GPS and I didn't he told me he'll just meet me where I am but he told me to go look around to see if there's any tents or whatever. So I begin running around the woods when I see something out of the oridnary from the distance. I zoom in to see a truck. Thinking to myself what are the chances of a truck being here, I go crouch run up the hill to actually see it's a truck(V3S.) I tell my friend "OMG there's a V3S here get here fast, I'll check what's in it" so I check it out and it had every shotgun an AKS-74 Kobra, ammo, fuel, food, scrap metal, etc. Although the guns weren't that great, I was excited at this point, and to make it even more exciting, I look to my left and I see a UAZ! I go to my friend again saying "Holy S*** there's a UAZ here too, I'm gonna check to see what's in here." I rummage through the UAZ and I find alot of medical supplies, a ton of AK ammo, survival tools(hatchet, knife, etc.) At this point I was so excited but nervous because what I was thikning what if the people that left these here came back and spotted me, so I hid in a tall tree until my friend came to my location, 15-20 minutes later. When he finally got there we checked the conditions of the truck and UAZ(I didn't do it prior obviously) and the V3S had some engine damage, but runnable, but the UAZ was mint condition! What luck! So we end up stealing both cars and we were driving to a waypoint where we could hide these trucks, when my friend pointed out there was a tent next ot a tree. We got out and looted it. More med supplies, food, water, and ammo. Finally after looting that tent we kept driving these vehicles when my friend spooted two more tents in an open patch of land! I was thinking to myself "We hit the motherload." We park our vehicles and go to check out the tents. What we found was amazing. Two Ghillie suits, a GPS, 2 M4A1 CCO SD, 20 rounds for the M4A1's, more med supplies, enough food to last us days, same with water. We ranshacked all those tents.

Yeah i decided my server is going down at the end of the month , most of my clan quit playing dayz because of the hackers and its just not fun anymore working for everything we found and then getting teleported, A hacker in my server moved vehicles to debug and then surrounded them with sandbags. No way of getting them out. But we got a dev on here bragging about 1 million players but there isnt a million servers, Only way i bring my server back is if its passworded, Devs need to quit the dumb rules and worry about saving there mod.I guess its going standalone anyways if arma 3 has client side scripting there wont be a point of buying standalone because it will be hacked the first day out.

Every new server I've been a part of, the vehicles will spawn in at about 24 hours after the server has been created. The server will most likely have to be restarted after the 24 hour mark.

Admins can't spawn items nor vehicles.
