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. <_<

Do you get anything special from having a lot of days standing next to your name? The point is that once you know how this game works, zombies aren't a threat anymore... You will be able to sneak through most to loot stuff... you will be able to kill zombies with better gear you have.... you know how to run to loose them fast.... You will have tools to cook food out of animals that you can shoot far away from any zombie + you can have refillable water bottles. In the end you could just stay in the woods near a water pond.... cook some meat... and that's it. What is left is to look for better gear (weapons usually) at the PvP hotspots and at crashed helicopter sites. If you make a camp or get some vehicles your stuff can just be stolen easily over night. Especially larger vehicles are not that hard to spot. What do you do with better gear or vehicles? You dont need it really against zombies, but against other players. Vehicles are great to pick up friends or scout the area for other camps or crashed heli sites. For Zombies it is fine enough to use pistols, since they dont attract that many zombies. Thus what do you need better gear for? The answer is PvP. Sorry, but you are wrong if you think the game is about surviving mostly. In the end it is about PvP. I am sure the standalone will be different, but this is a mod, so its possibilities are limited. As you said, you are new to the game. And thus you are frustrated becasue of getting shot so fast.... As someone stated before, try first a server that is not that populated and learn the game... Learn how to gear up fast and how to deal with zombies without wasting that much bulltets for them.... Once you are more experienced you will understand why people here focus on PvP and not on surviving anymore. Surviving by avoiding PvP is easy and boring.... Surviving while still trying to fight other groups its difficult and fun.

I see hackers every day these days. Yesterday one teleported on top of me but coudlnt' find me in the trees (ghille suit, right in the middle of 3 big trees), heard him, spun around and shot him. Scripter? Yes, M240 Scoped, he also had a CAR HORN in his inventory. Next day, different server I'm running along when I see the kill feed light up with one name. Then another. Then about 15 in a row. I aborted straight away (I was in the middle of a forest). Server admin took that server down for a little after that. It is prolific, it's easy to do and you only have to look at the number of members on scripting and cheating forums to know how widespread it is. Some cheaters will just spawn in gear for themselves and use them to find vehicles - nothing you can see directly. A smaller portion prefer to grief by killing servers, teleporting, carpet bombing, etc. I think for every player griefing, there's probably another 3 or 4 just hacking in weapons for themselves (probably because they're sick of perma death because a hacker killed the server and want to get their gear back on restart). Just get used to it unfortunately. Battleye seems to be getting a little better, but it remains to be seen if it's anywhere near effective.

I think with your first suggestion is cool but the idea i had was to have car part retrievable from broken vehicles and make them really common, however make it so you need lots more parts making the hard part of building a car not finding the parts but transporting them instead

Sounds worth discussing guys... but your welcome on my server anytime regardless! I don't kick people for making the effort to get vehicles up and running. I don't actually use Skype... My options here are Mumble (preffered), Steam chat (2nd), Teamspeak or Vent. Add http://steamcommunity.com/id/Darth269 if you use it. I may/may not be online a lot this evening, but should be on tomorrow daytime/evening also Saturday.

the whole thing is thos do you know how many more military weapons there are and would be available during any sort of deployment? If anything, especially once the item impacted the fan there would be stuff EVERYWHERE. Zombies don't pick up lewts unless they accidentally eat it consuming your corpse. I would like to see however more realistic spawn locations of said weapons, ie near soldier corpses. Every time I used to see soldier bodies I would get all excited logically thinking OOO, here should be somma dat good military loot, but no. Also I would like to see greatly improved zombie spawns and behavior. Where is the zombie pawing at the glass window?? Where are the zombies eating randoim corpses or maybe trying to do something that looks almost human?? I would like more repairable vehicles but parts to be more rare. I would also like a much better communication system, like radios or something like that. Finally I would like full weapon customization WITH WEP BENCHES. Make a great situation for mayhem having to be occupied at a weapon bench whilst zack and namely bandits that know a wep bench is there and people going to it likely have higher end items. Also I would like to shift to a 100% pony based economy. You find little toy ponies out in the wild, rope em together, and lead em all along like little ducks and can trade say 1 pony for 1 gps module, 1/2 a pony for nvgs, and a whole or 2 for say a M16A2 w M203 and ammo for each. It would really revolutionize the gaming industry and after the initial ragerz saying "PONIEZ!?!?! WTF IS THIS CREPE!!?!?!?! I WAND TO GO BACK TO DA BEANZ!?!?!?!" but if they think about it! POeople would stop killing each other for said beans and just go looking for ponies, and we can rename the game my little pony adventure in zack town.

I understand if upgrading to 95417 Beta Patch (or any patch) I would need to stop my server. My question though, does the stopping or patching servers wipe out server based items? (vehicles/tents etc.) Thanks in advance for the response.

I don't want to get all comfy on a new server and call it home unless i'm sure it has vehicles. Anyone able to tell me a way of checking the vehicle count, or if they are actually present on the server?

See the image, Bloopie (vehicles -4, tank 1)

It is refreshing to get into a firefight and have everyone actually see it through to the end. It was a fun encounter to be sure. Honestly, we'd just stolen the bus from someone's camp. We figured it was yours and you guys were hunting for it. Stumbled across the van while joy riding the coast. Within like 30 seconds of finding the van I saw your ATVs coming down the road. Two of us in the Bus and one in the Van. Was my idea to park the bus as a shield (since we thought you were looping around from the north) and try and take out Skavik. Then we got greedy and decided we wanted both ATVs. I have no idea how we though 3 people could drive off with 4 vehicles. I hate that I was one of the casualties but we had NO idea where you were after we got Skavik. We figured you had doubled back somewhere but weren't sure and didn't have any L85 goodness with us. I opted to act as bait so that buddies could narrow it down. Was hoping you'd miss when I hopped into the bus. I was wrong. We had absolutely no idea that there was a third. But, that's the price you pay for a prolonged engagement. Shame about the Van getting exploded in the firefight. My guys barely escaped. Sub 2k blood on each of them as they drove off in the Bus. Rotating drivers as they passed out. And, glad you like the server. It's actually mine. So, I'll claim some good karma for not being the typical dick admin and restarting/rebooting because I died and lost my kit and some vehicles. ;) We'll be seeing you guys around, I'm sure.

The player set fire to vehicles. And he created a wall of fire around our camp. We suspect that was a player named Bloopie. For a player who killed teleported in front of us, we kill him and appeared "Bloopie was Killed."

Server: DE 466 Time: ~2:30 pm - 3:00 pm CET (UTC +1) What happened: 2 Guys named; JustinBieber and ThurstonMoore were teleporting single suvivors around the server and killing them and spawning vehicles. How do i know their names? Me and 2 of my friends (XDGott and Andi) played around elektro there we heard a heli, in that heli were 2 persons 1 with a ghillie (who was at the gun) and the pilot. After we got spotted they stopped. We were looking for them what they're going to do, so after a while the ghillie guy started shooting us and killed XDGott instantly. I dont know what my other friend did but he ran probably away and i hid myself behind a tree. Fortunately i had an AS50 sniper and tried to get the ghillie guy down and succeded after a while. The heli crashed and both died (im sorry that didnt take some pics) and i studied both bodies and saw their names. To cut a long story short after that heli crash they started teleporting people and kiling them and i was the first one... I've made a video about what happened while the teleportation and what happened then and took some pics. http://i.imgur.com/YjKuS.jpg http://i.imgur.com/irFnK.jpg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mG_al3S1HYo&feature=youtu.be

Sorry if this has popped up elsewhere ( i did have a search but couldn't find any definitive answers ) Just wanted to know what the total vehicle limit was per server. Is it over number of active vehicles or per vehicle type etc etc. If this has been answered elsewhere please point me in the right direction and i will delete this thread.

Did you see that admin online as the only one? - Also, the admins can't track any position of vehicles nor tents.

Looking for people who are interested in raiding/looting/setting up camps and finding vehicles. I call myself a bandit because I usually shoot first if you've gotten too close to me. I don't kill unarmed players and in-fact sometimes I help them (drove a bunch of new spawns from shore to shore with a boat once, that kinda stuff). Looking for people with a similar playstyle. I also have a 15 slot ventrilo that me and my other friend use when we play DayZ. Looking for either a clan or just some other players to mess around with. Times: EST around 5pm-12am Location: Ontario, Canada Age: 26 Skype: steve.pcguy Ventrilo: 209.15.226.35:4194 EDIT: Added vent server IP for anyone interested in just coming on to play with us or use it.

These are all good ideas but at minimum the vehicles off map should be reset every time server restarts. The vehicle blowing blowing up after 10 minutes of being off map is even better though. There should be no reason to have a vehicle off map, there are plenty of good hiding spots in bounds. My group has 5 vehicles stashed and all are in the boundaries of the map.

Not with a bunch of random lackwits I bumped into and have never met before, sorry. That kind of "team" is a death sentence. Not enough people know how to play this game properly to make that a sustainable model for building cooperative team play. There are far too many considerations, especially once vehicles and tents become involved, to just team up with every random Joe Blow I run into in the game. Half of them just end up getting me killed by alerting zombies or nearby players. I cooperate with people I know and trust. Everyone else gets the business end of an M249. Make friends and then play the game with them, not vice versa. If you don't like or want to do that, then you will be at a disadvantage against those who do. And you will be victimized more often.

I’d like to see player created/contested zones, for example split the map up into multiple zones and at the center of each zone have some sort of base or command centre so to speak, this could be a barn, police station, town hall, or any other significant structure. At the top of each command centre will be a flagpole, in order to raise a flag (which btw would be your particular clan tag) you’ll need for example 5 people to all click on it at the same time (the bigger a zone the more people it’ll take to capture) once this is done the whole zone will become Clan A’s area and will be notified by a global message informing everyone that Clan A has now taken control of zone B. What this will do is a: give clans/groups a place to call home and come with certain perks for instance a garage to store vehicles, boxes to store gear etc, it will also give other players/clans a target to either attack, trade with, avoid or set up allegiances and effectively give the game more depth with a constantly shifting powerbase. It also will give the game so called safe zones as the clan in control of a command center will then be able to build defences a certain distance from the base be it sandbags, tank traps etc and allow trading posts to be set up free of zombies for players to come and go. Outside the zone zombies will still spawn as before but not inside the compound. Inside players can set up stalls to sell or trade weaponry found whilst out and about, notice boards can be put up and modified offering jobs, hit contracts etc. That’s what I’d like to see, obviously contesting and taking over a rivals base would need some serious thought as siege mechanics would need to come into play and what’s to stop clans coming in when the other team is in bed/work etc and raiding the place as let’s face it with a global server base players will be on at all times of the day and night and a UK clan might have difficulty keeping a base when its 3am on a Monday night! Anyways just a few suggestions

Off map stuff is only prevented if the vehicles are left 'unattended' for >24 hours. So you can save everything off map you want if you drive it around a bit every day, and save it back in the map at least once a week (there is another hard timer that removes everything out of bounds once a week). I'm hoping the team will fix this and make it so nothing can ever be saved out of bounds, or at least a shorter timer that only lasts minutes of being unattended.

The only reason to take a vehicle outside the map IMO is so that you can travel quickly around the map. Point A -> Point B. It's reasonable to assume if you are relocating your Ural from southwest corner to northeast corner, you don't wanna drive around all the random roads or spend hours navigating between trees and up hills. So speeding along the edge of the map to get a large distance seems like a reasonable use of vehicles to me. That said, 20 minutes of "Unattended" time should be more than enough time to stop and address a threat if you are shot at. Or if you need to stop and eat/drink or any other reason for a stop. Hell, that even works if you need to make an emergency run to the door or something. Also, there's absolutely no reason not to just drive right on the inside of the border to the map. I can't think of one area where it has anything blocking you (there's at least a few car widths of 'empty space' on the inside of the map border). All of that is second however since this time is 'unattended' meaning 'not interacting with.' So driving outside the map is fine until you leave it parked there. I would say if you save your vehicle to coords outside the map it should auto-relocate then and there. Or have the variables adjusted to the nearest IN-MAP point, right on the border. TL;DR: Make it instantaneous. The second you save vehicles "out of bounds" relocate them to the map. Drive them out there all you want, but they should reappear in map on the next restart or earlier if possible.

Saving vehicles off the map isn't meant to be possible anymore...dodgy server maybe??

I've currently got FN FAL w/ 4 mags. M4A1 CCO SD w/ 4 Mags 3x Ghillie Suits NVG Tools etc. Am looking to trade some of the above for working Vehicles: Ural, UAZ, Pickup Truck, A V3S, whatever. Skype me at ashisacat (trusted traders preferred, I will be providing cover regardless.)

Hi there! Nice to see my nick in hall of shame XD. Used maybe it once but it doesn't matter now. Just wanna say that server is cool, loading fast, no lags, high fps, but there is one problem - vehicles still not saves after restarts (camp tents saves well, we placed two and they still present after 3 days). So server is cool, but we gonna leave it coz of vehicles, we wanna to find and repair a heli, but do it in intervals between server restarts - kinda suck :( I'll check this forum for updates, hope u will fix the problem with cars. Best regards.

Did you save the tents/vehicles?
