oh man.. i feel so responsible now after all the effort we put into that ATV. i was going like at 30 kmph on what seemed to be a smooth path in the northern main road of Cherno. once i enter the bridge, i magically fly up into the air and the ATV landed sideways. was trying to rock the thing but it wasn't budging at all. Enter ____ with our glorious newly found chariot, the GAZ. Wanting to flip the ATV over by bumping it, i move out. Now, he gently nudges it with his GAZ (at least from my perspective, about 10 metres away) and with the funky Physics engine of the game, IT FLIES SKY HIGH!!! SPINNING WILDLY IN ALL DIRECTIONS. (how wild? if you saw it, it made a shadowy perfect circle at the speed it was spinning) It stops after 2 secs with all 4 wheels blown up and catches fire. It blows up the second time as i hit the record button on my bandicam, apologizing to an offline Pain. it kinda sucks cuz we could have had secured 3 vehicles for our alpha adventures, but for now we only have our GAZ hehe. not a bad day actually, jacked a 'copter, died to a hacker, managed to fix an ATV and GAZ, blew up the ATV and Tractor. We need to find more adventures like last night! :D eh how did you make the nameplates smaller? help the mumble nib out plz :D i have that on video btw haha

And I also did admit restarting the server since I was under the impression it was being attacked by hackers, nothing to do with the vehicles has to do with not being able to access the control panel for the 1000th time.

I can add you to the list if you tell me for how many days your server has been up without any vehicles.

Everyone revert to 1.7.2.4, as we did.. red Lada turned into a bicycle at respawn and three of our looted vehicles (s1203 van, motorbike and a flatbed truck) vanished off our base even with saving them previously.

Basically a friend and I have a base set up in a desolate area. We logged in today and the base was completely gone. No tents, no sandbags, the vehicles were gone as well. It's not even that the tents were smashed, they simply weren't there. Literally nothing. We came back to our base after a server restart and that was the result. We've had the base for about 3 days now.

current at least the sandbags and tents will respawn, even if empty. currently there is no way to permanently destroy fortifications/tents. this happened before to another tent stash we found. i suggest to wait a couple of restarts, i bet your stuff will be back, not so sure about the vehicles.

Killing zombies, surviving with comrades, killing hostile survivors, bandits and game poopers, burying their bodies, helping survivors, baiting survivors, scaring shit of survivors. Once I and 4-7 buddies maintained for 2-3 hours security for all peaceful survivors in Elektro by overwatch from towers and helping them on ground. It was amazing experience and I think not expected from your point of view (first post). It wouldn't happen if we have not got bored from all "team work" securing our camps vehicles and stuff. We just picked sniper rifles and rest hatchets and went to city. I think beauty of DayZ and not playing DayZ is in that nobody knows how to play DayZ IMO not even Rocket. And scenes and scenearios, roles and relations that emerge are fascinating and beautiful. Just please don't categorize everyone by momentary behavior.

I seen one like that near cherno, but it was flipped over. But there was also a Bus (full gas and repaired) and an ATV hidden in the hill nearby (fuly repaired, missing a little bit of gas). Spooky, as there wasn't anyone in cherno. Waited around for the owners, and when no one showed up (there wasn't even any dead bodies or flies) we grabbed the vehicles and joyrode them until we wrecked them like the V3S we had found in a camp. Fun times. But yeah, tan is legit.

Vehicles can spawn with different skins then the ones in the wiki pictures, what I think is that you found a brown one is all. Edit: Some examples are motorcycles with flame decals, and black skodas with red interiors.

Mostly look around the middle of the map, do loops around Stary sobor for crash sites. For vehicles, they are usually hoarded by clans along the furthest grid West on the map and North up above Petrovsky. When searching the west side, look for long clearings (great for quickly navigating back in a vehicle) and check the forests near those clearings.

Only music I listened to was the mod's music but quickly turned it off as it was drowning out mumble and the important sounds such as footsteps, gunfire, vehicles, etc.

It was north of stary in a field, couple empty tents nearby. Wasn't a fresh spawn, though since it only had soda in it smells legit. It is now exploded, it slid down a 5% grade into a forest. Needless to say attempting to remove it from the forest resulting in an epic explosion and many deaths. There should be a fresh helicopter spawn on the server somewhere since it sploded. How are the vehicles on the us 1313 server, is it spawning cars and stuff? We've put 100's of hours on random servers looking for cars and have never found one at a spawn.

Well, Me and Holycheeseboy do own our own server. We have a strict "No Admin Abuse" policy. Last week, our camp got raided by actual hackers (i.e. Vehicle trackers, hacked in weapons, etc.). Our vehicles were all stolen, and our tents were looted and smashed. What did we do? We nutted up and dealt with it. Over the week, the hackers got banned after we retrieved our vehicles, put them back in another remote location, and found them missing later on that day. Admins who restart their own servers to save their own asses disgust me. While DayZ is rampant with hackers, a good admin knows not to "Act in the heat of the moment" just because someone found their camp (one that was terribly hidden, at that).

And how was he supposed to know this? looking at the video it really comes out as you trying to save your vehicles. Maybe you shouldnt think like snipers =/= hackers

@Chad, Iz, Samir, TmG, and Pain Wtf, dude? 3 vehicles and only 1 survived? LoL C'mon... I know Chad is a crazy driver and Pain is a vehicle destroyer. Don't learn how to drive things from Chad nor Pain, dude. They want to erase all vehicles in Day Z... by purpose! :P Ok, then. Imma gonna find myself a bicycle. Hate to run miles away... Hopefully we can have the car for more than a day now. :P

Hey fellow survivors, I am 25 and male. I am looking for a teammate or small group (3 to 4) to do alittle more than just survive. By this I mean to have a couple of objectives: - Normal loot/survive - Always keeping an eye out for vehicles - Have some days where we raid towns(like killing zombies instead of staying hidden) - Have some days where we hunt bandits(just bandits) and HELP(not kill) survivors that we find along the way. - Roleplay and have fun No need to be experienced in dayz I dont care about age just as long as you can have some level of maturity(no whiners - unless you die and lose all your stuff but who could blame you then lol.) Must have mic and use skype or oovoo. PM me here or on steam(WhiteSyntax) if interested Thanks

Holy Cheese, people like you make me sick. Let me start out by saying I was the AFK guy on the ground and I went out for a 10 to 20 min smoke break. As soon as I came back, I saw that I was dead. The other guys told me what happened and they thought it was a hacker so I tried to access the admin control panel. Anyways, it kicks me for script restriction and I try rejoining and accessing the control panel once again only to get kicked. Bam I reset the server and I have every right to in order to access my control panel to deal with a hacker that I potentially thought existed. Anyways, every time I restarted the server it wouldn't let me access the panel and gave me various script restrictions until finally it worked. You may have been trying legitly to take our stuff, but I am sure not to let a hacker get away with our vehicles. Now taking the time to look at logs, you are not hacking but in the heat of the moment it didn't matter to me. To be honest, fucks like you need to go buy your own server. If it wasn't for people like us who fork over the money you would have no where to play. Grow up!

You keep posting about that flag not showing up in six launcher your server is not set up right...even if it wasnt connected to hive it would still spawn vehicles please use customer service of your server company for these questions as they can help you more than people on here that dont run your server.

I "lost" my V3S and my Bus because the servers they were on aren't online anymore. This is getting on my nerves and my team are expecting to get those vehicles back or get some new ones. Now I was thinking that since I got the Bus from a friendly survivor who knew where one spawned, I was wondering if anyone else knew where some vehicles, broken or repaired, spawned. I can give you compensation if the vehicle is up to specs. If you're not "giving the vehicle away" then my team and I would be glad to help you on your adventures. Now I know that there will be trolls that post things like "Haha stupid survivor, did you really expect to keep something for more than a day? Get a life" or "Ya I know where a vehicle spawns. It's a small village outside of Skalisty. It's called yo mama's ass." If you don't want to help, then don't post.

yeah no music have sound CRANKED in my headphones to hear footsteps, gunfire, zombies, vehicles, etc.

players couldve removed all the sandbags and shit with a toolbox, stolen your vehicles, smashed your tents, and then the server restarted.

There's no way a server restart ate sandbags, vehicles, and tents that were all saved and have been there for about 12 other restarts. Would just like to point out that the clan on the server also has 2 other bases that have been there for ages without any problems.

But if your not in a clan you don't see the crazy side of clan play. until hackers became an issue our home server was home to another clan. ever night both of us would go looting, and if we ran into each other it became a war over what ever city/place it was. I remember we bother were raiding berezino we came from north them from south and there litterally was a 15-20 person fire fight going on between the buildings. it was NUTS, and this was before hacking was prevalent so most us just had akm's, m16a2, winnies you know mid tier weapons. basically neither side did the silly CoD combat of running and gunning it was little flank moves etc. and when they started losing to many people they pulled out because they didn't wanna lose the vehicles. but they left a few snipers so we ended up leaving for same reason. THIS right here is the essence of a survival game, i started solo and got to the point were i was living easily for weeks. found a clan and we started building a "community" in game. its the evolution of a society after an apocalypse, and honestly on the tents thing think about it if someone in your "community" died the loot is redistributed to others in a r/l scenario. unless you make perma death you die and the game uninstalls then its not really perma death. i think the problem is most of you have only been playing for under a month and don't know what the game was like before hacking/duping became an issue because i remember when a DMR up was a RARE bird and the ammo was rare enough you only used it when you absolutely had to. game was a totally different place.

I agree with you, group play is a blast and shouldn't be penalized but the underlying system of gear storage/loot farming is warping the group dynamic and for me at least, diminishing the fun. Many posters have already said this but it bears repeating. With our collection of tents and vehicles permadeath no longer applies to me and it sucks the life right out of this game.

The Vehicles arent being saved and when my server restarts...the vehicles go back to wherever they were svaed before the new update. Also supplies and weapons are not being saved in tents or vehicles. I beleive whatever was put into the vehicles and tents before the update are just duping themselves. The Graphical glitchs are still here. HELP ME ROCKET!!! Love The game by the way. Thot i would let you know about these things since some people are saying everything is fine after this Hotfix. -Karnius
