Hmm interesting, all back now including tents and vehicles.

How would more vehicles make the game LESS thrilling? Think about it. a: On a vehicle, you are far more likely to be detected and attacked by other players. Vehicles turn your group into a target, so having more of them would only increase the likelihood of PvP, increasing both positive and negative player interaction, which in my opinion, is a good thing. b: Having a vehicle STILL means that you must maintain it. This means that you have to regularly find gasoline, spare tires, engine parts, ect. Just because we want a little bit of excitement out of the game doesn't make us "Casual gamers." Remember, this is still Arma. There's absolutely nothing casual about this game. It's buggy, unstable, clunky, and requires at least a very decent PC at minimum. If you want to walk for hours on end watching trees go by, be my guest - but it's still a GAME, and an Alpha stage game at that. And again, it is simply NOT authentic for vehicles to be so rare. There are more than a billion cars in the world right now, and I'm supposed to believe that in the apocalypse, with 90% of the human population destroyed, that there would be absolutely no vehicles around? Not to mention this TREMENDOUS hoarding issue, which again, is simply NOT authentic. "Oh look I stored my car outside the playable area of the world and logged off to take a break from surviving." You want to talk about casual gamers? THAT is the kind of shit casual gamers do. A real hardcore gamer knows that once they log out, their property in this game world is subject to it, and they have to accept those consequences. But what we have here is a concentration of game assets by particular players which in turn degrades the game experience for everyone else. I shouldn't be penalized just because I have a job and a life and I can't sit and play a video game for 8 hours straight. The point isn't to make the game easier; it's a unique opportunity to make the game more accessible and more realistic at the same time. I do agree with you about helicopters though. I'm pretty sure most average civilians wouldn't know the first goddamn thing about fixing - or flying - a helicopter.

I know WHY its duping, its because vehicles and tents aren't saving their child inventories correctly and haven't been for several weeks now. I DO save my tent after I use it. I save it like 8 times. If I have a vehicle I tend to spam saves on that at least 20 times cause I want to ensure its there when I get back. Every time, regardless of how many times I've tried to save my tent/vehicle state, when the server is restarted, the inventory reverts to a state previous to me actually having taken anything out of it. I've got a camp I only visit once in a small while due to its location. But just like my other tents I always save it after I've gone by it to grab something I might need cause I was in the area. And every time I go by the inventory is exactly the same, regardless of what I've used previously.

probably admin abuse... i see alot of that. admins kicking and banning people to get the best loot possible or just to collect all the vehicles on the map. i would try to get ahold of the DayZ devs.

The L85 is allot more accurate than many people give it credit for. I tested the hell out of it when I first got one, to the point where I could 1 shot a rabbit at 600m. Once you know the scope its real easy to get hits. And it does the same dmg as all STANAG guns meaning its not too bad at all. Can take a player down very quickly. But it is very easy to avoid. The scope is very limited, hit the tree line asap if under attack and zig-zag. The L85 will quickly lose track of you. The only issue is ATM if the guy has an L85 it most likely has a AS50 too and once hes seen you he will shoot you with that instead. So much duping going on atm. Tents and vehicles respawning all items from the last time it was saved means you dont have to do much as a new guy on the beach to find a tent and bang you have all the best goodies in the game. There are so many tents with this stuff in now its unreal. Also the amount of AS50 TWS guns in the game is crazy. Hackers jumping on servers and changing everyones guns into these things is causing there to be masses of them around. And not everyone is honest enough to ditch it straight away. Battleye really need to raise there game and get on top of the hacking. Then a nice reset of everything by the team and we have a game again. Full reset is long overdue.

Here I did your research for you.. Guess I was wrong about vehicles. http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/15439-vehicles-disappeared-us2/

The official DayZ rules are also included in this list, only some of them written. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Questions and Answers Q: Are we allowed to shoot a zombie if it runs towards us? A: Yes, but don't waste a whole clip, only use what is necessary. Q: Are we allowed to invite friends to the clan? A: Yes, but they are required to fill out the official application form. Q: If a player shoots at us, are we allowed to shoot back? A: Yes you are, but share the loots of the player later on. Q: Are we allowed to logout far away from the camp? A: Yes, but i wouldn't recommand it, as we have to wait for you to come back the next day, or it's gonna be a far walk for you. Q: If i die, what will happen to my stuff? A: We will take as much of is at possible, and return it to you as soon as possible. Q: Are we allowed to set up tents anywhere we would like?

But you can change your roles after talking with a Staff member, our current roles are Medic, Engineer, Marksman, Sniper, Looter, Trader and so on. Q: Are there other roles for people, such as Camp management? A: Yes there are. Some members overviews the camp, checks the position of the tents and keeps an eye on it, also when we are in movement, there is a specific spot in the train you're supposed to be at, you won't be able to choose whatever position you want. The staff pretty much goes first. Q: Are we bandits or Survivors? A: We are both, but i'd say we stick to the bandit side a few times, and inbetween the survivors side. Q: Do we have our own server? A: Yes! We recently got one, US2270, And you'll see the [AO] Tag in there.

lol it didn't despawn, you guys just forgot to save it after you were done with it. any vehicles that aren't saved will get back to the location of where you found "x" vehicle that was saved previously. you did however get lucky on the chopper on the at the island with it being all green (unless you fixed it before you started recording), all the ones i've found there required tons of maintence work so the fuel doesn't leak out.

10 vehicles per server not including bikes i do believe (huey is auto on skalisty) randomly chosen when the server first comes online

We confirm, the players Bloopie and Porkchop used teleport cheat, were up to our camp and set fire to all vehicles and tents on the server, 586 U.S., recorded by a video of the event, we will be posting soon.

Hello. In which log and how do I recognize that a hacker is spawning vehicles on our server? I have no clue how to track it :/ Thanks

I do suspect vehicles are borked on our server, not sure whether the devs would do a database wipe for us...

Hey guys, i was wondering if vehicles spawn in new servers? Im looking to buy one, and i heard that they dont spawn in new servers. Anybody know how to enable the vehicles or if they are default?

i dont really think that anyones gonna trade for a chopper (if they are you better have alot of extremely rare loot). But what exactly would you be willing to give out for a vehicle? And also, you do know that vehicles stay on 1 and only 1 server, right?

Currenlty Ive seen Urals, buses, cars, Quads , bikes and a helicopter. Oh and tractors I think. We've had landrovers etc previously but not seen one since latest patch. Didnt the system change so some vehicles became rarer though ?

Another interesting thing ive noticed today hackers teleporting to specific players offering them stuff, which is bad because it unbalances gameplay obviously, but one guy in particular blood bagged me then offered me free gear and vehicles i said "naa im gd but im catching up with my bro who has a bus" he then said "ill catch up with you later see if you change your mind" then he disappeard into thin air, he didnt disconnect i checked the player list he was still ingame. i was kinda nervous at first cos he was gear up ghille suit, sniper but i was well armed too so i decided to stay at side of him or behind, and hear him out rather than nail him on sight. but i guess he didnt need to shoot me for my gear since he can hax anything he likes :P.

Yeah, so me and a buddy of mine were at our tent in the middle of nowhere in a low populated server. Somehow a helicopter finds exactly where our tent is and guns me down. Friend survived only to just fall down dead for no reason. On the way back to get our bodies we've run into multiple vehicles (Tons of crashed buses, ATVs everywhere, etc). Also on the road up to our bodies I found 6-7 MG ammo belts and a few sets of civilian clothing on the ground. Found about 15 cows all spawned in one place, bodies with nonlegit weapons, spawned boats/helis. All of this done near Elektro Jasmine, Ackbar, xXphycoCrazy are 3 that I have seen either with spawned items or in spawned vehicles. Cant upload any pics cause my files are too big, but im sure if you looked in the server logs or something you will see. As for time, 4am GMT +12 hours and was still happening when this post was made. Was having such a good time playing this wonderful game as well.

Yeah, we've stolen a ural before and rammed it full of gear. It does suck though, like 80% of the vehicles are hidden miles away off map. FUN!

Personally I think it should be harder, I'd get rid of tents and storing weapons in vehicles, so when you die, you really have to start again.

No, you will not get a global ban for picking up a hacked weapon. Only if you are found to run scripts. From BattleEye "No one is banned for using non-hack programs (like Fraps, overlays, etc.), picking up or using hacked in-game items, weapons or vehicles, being on a server at the same time as a cheater, or other passive non-cheating activity. Therefore all requests mentioning these things as possible reasons for the global ban are ignored." A local server admin may kick you if he wants, but you wont get a global

yeah ok TheSO tomorrow scouting out locations today im gonna try and find some vehicles

Yeah that's what i found from my search. I think my main question is how many active vehicles per server can be running. Thanks for the reply though.

http://www.dayzwiki.com/wiki/Vehicles Check the rarity column. I'm not sure it is entirely correct.. or even finished.. but it is better than nothing I guess.
