There are some servers in the server list with something like that in their name (but they are not passworded)... And sometimes there is also something like "you might lose your character". Is this allowed - or just some clans use servers named like that to hoard vehicles and gear? Because many players will be afraid to lose their progress and will not join such servers. Some of SE #500 servers are named like that, for example.

Some people run alng the edge of the map, hunting for camps. Also,I heard of a bug where the vehicles skip spawning for one server restart. (Allegedly happens after first save/first restart and should respawn normally, at the saved location, after the next restart).

I had a dream once > Constructed a modest base of tents in a relatively secluded area > Lined the perimeter with wire and sandbags (for mostly aesthetic purposes, really) > Managed to find and repair a few vehicles, brought them to the base > Three days passed. no hackers destroyed base by spawning a carrier on top of it > Feelsgoodman.jpg > Suddenly a shot rings out, explodes a can of pasta on the shelf behind me > Ohh no, there's spaghetti on the floor > Everybody walk the dinosaur Then I woke up

My friends server has the same problem... It's on for 7 days now and there are still no vehicles :(

I'm the admin of DE 1569, we had reports of someone invisible killing people, then next thing, theres muzzle flashes coming from an invisible gunman in the middle of our camp, killed everybody, then teleported us back and satchel charged all our vehicles... I kicked everyone from the server that I didn't know was safe and allowed people to join back in slowly so that we could see if the hacker re-appeared infront of us, then we'd know who the guy was... This isn't for me to inconvenience you, or convenience myself. Purely to inconvenience them, and protect as many peoples items as possible... Everyone that understands why I did this, thanks... I'll continue to try and protect the people that play on my server, and will do this more often if necessary...

After our server was updated, I rebooted it and logged on with our client PCs patched with the latest Beta and 1.7.2.5 installed from the Torrent in a new folder and got stuck at the loading screen. Figuring I was kicked by BE, I reverted to 1.7.2.4 and logged in, only to be killed instantly on spawn by nothing. Respawned in Debug plains with nothing, except another guy looking at me (probably tried to log in at the same time). He vanished. I logged and shut down the server. Restarted a few seconds later and respawned in Otmel with nothing. Logged, restarted the server and logged in again with 1.7.2.4 and appeared in Otmel with all my gear minus all my ammo but still with both weapons. We then got kicked for BE not responding. It took till about midnight CST before we could log in and stay logged in without BE kicking us or anyone trying to join. A customer logged in and discovered that tents are not saving and items can be duped incredibly easily from tents and vehicles by anyone, so we shut the server down overnight to prevent abuse. Hopefully a fix will roll out today? However for now, the artificating on all our machines is gone.

Anyone able to give me a lift, from Kamenka? The game teleported me there after I logged in from Veresnik. I know this is a medical thread, but I know you guys are kind and have vehicles. I've got a spare R870 with ammo, too.

I'm currently with a group of 6 people. We have 2 vehicles, 2 tents and all of our members are armed. We play on a UK server and we are just in the process of moving our camp to a more secure location. PM me if interested.

Seeing the exact same thing on two other servers, neither of which are HFB. Some tents that already had items in still have those items, but any new items added, do not get saved, they just vanish. Taking items out just dupes items, as they reappear in the tents. Vehicles location is saved, but contents are not. It seems as though the DB is broken with regards to content updates/saves for tents and vehicles.

Newer instance IDs take a few days for vehicles to appear in that instance. Everyone, well.. most people anyway who get a new ID have this problem. They'll show up, don't worry. Give it another couple of days before you start really panicking. It took my server about 5-6 days to have vehicles appear.

Head to edge of the map move 5k north thats where all the vehicles are

Surely this has already been posted, but...... @Rocket/DayZ Team - Tonight I was watching a mate and his kid playing for a few hours and they were plauged by artifacting just as bad as I had experienced in 1.7.2.4. I haven't been near my PC to update and try so their's is the only example I've got of it. The cause of the issue were the destroyed models of military vehicles and military loot. Another point to all those with "definate, 100% fixes.....", GFX drivers were up-to-date and -flush actually made it worse on more than one occasion. Thanks anyway for your effort, I hope you can clear this one up soon.

1. I want to see your sources, just so I can see where I was wrong. 2. If everyone has one, why is it that most of the people I kill, even those with AS50s and NVGs, don't have one? 3. Everyone has NVGs, Vehicles and AS50s, too, right? 4. Ghillies take away the importance of using concealment. .50 cal rifles take away the importance of AIM, as any bullet insta-kills. M136s... Yeah, I can miss you and still kill your whole team and your truck for good measure, with 1 rocket. EDIT: M203 HE, I miss and you still take 8k damage and get knocked out. Frag grenades make cover indoors useless. Tents make death useless. Trucks make running useless, but fuel gets a use. Give and take. If you start using the L85 and stop using your ears, people will walk up behind you can get a new L85 as a gift from your corpse. I counter points as I can. I switch because I've hit the same point over and over again. OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER... It becomes tedious.

Heli crashes, campsites, vehicles, dead bodies, and thunder domes all have them.

A member of our clan found a camp full of tents and vehicles. We gathered a few clan members and began the march to raid together. While we were moving the admin restarted the server to fix the long loading time(it worked). After we all rejoined, we arrived at the site shortly. Upon arriving the admins spotted us and killed 2 members as one of our killed the two admins. As we started our raid nearly a minute after the admins were killed the server kicked everyone out. Our question is: Why would the hosts restart the server within 5 minutes of the last restart unless they were doing it to keep us from looting the camp after their death? Short Youtube video of raid: Higher quality video available later.

Obviously, then, the Ghillie suit, all .50 rifles, all high explosives, vehicles and hueys are OP, as well as NVG and anything that even remotely resembles a firearm. Out of context? Sure. Cite it like God? Rocket is no God. But he is the creator of DayZ. If he wants it added, it will be unless the engine doesn't allow it. If he doesn't want it, it doesn't go in. It is up to him in the end, not you, not me. Personally, I like to believe he stopped posting so often because he is busy doing things in real life. But for your amusement, "All hail our great zombie overlord, the almighty Dean 'Rocket' Hall." Remove the L85 because it is what? Overpowered? No... That can't have anything to do with balance. Oh no, never. Never. How would removing the L85 make a positive impact? Ghillies would have less counters against them. 1 less, that is rare, and beyond duping nearly impossible to find. Wait, that would mean you want some kind of... should I say it? Balance?

They will be out of bounds and not in map. Players can still save vehicles way out of bounds as the fix never worked

Oh I know him (Mr A) is a coward. I've satchel charged his ass for ALT F4ing multiple times, I consider ALT F4ing cowardice and anyone in my clan/group that ALT F4 usually get murdered at some point. Regardless he ALT F4's the moment he knows someones near him so yeah, I just came on the attack because he said he was banned. I'm not going to show any remorse because after launching my attack you attempted to take the server down/restart to prevent me from completing my attack. I'm 90% sure that I managed to get those last of your vehicles just in time (literally 5 seconds before restart). So don't come on here trying to act innocent when you clearly went to the server admin saying to restart the server to stop my attack which is just cheap In the future fight like men instead of restarting server/banning people for finding your camp. My "buddy" even snuck up to one of you and tried saying in direct chat he didn't want any trouble and you turn around and try to murder him, what do you expect him to do? If you weren't so violent your vehicles would be fine right now wouldn't they. Regardless I'm still open for hire against those who admin abuse/other things. Feel free to contact me

A lot actually remains intact. Infact, many times the US military hits their own crashed aircraft and vehicles with cruise missiles when they can't drag the wreck away. Scopes aren't as well, weak, as you seem to think they are. I'd have to hammer mine against hard objects over and over again just to break them. And unless something vital is destroyed, you can put loose parts back together. Also think of it this way, 7 zombies, 3-4 guns. Something was destroyed in the crash. You don't find a ton of working stuff, and those walking zombies sure did survive, so that'll mean that hardware probably made it out as well. I'm not capable of having a civil conversation, no. I have a short temper, and people tend to set me off rather quickly. And the sight is fictional? Cool, better tell the militaries of the world they have been giving thermal weapon sights that don't exist to their soldiers. And we aren't reverse engineering it. We are USING it. We aren't building it, we are using parts found on a wreckage. Turns out, they work. Who knew? Oh and my favorite part, "Says who? The game is still in alpha, and you're assuming that this can't change? That seems a bit silly." Look down. Little bit further. One more line, please. You'll find your answer soon enough.

You don't - these things are saved hive-side. If there is anything fundamentally wrong with your vehicles (e.g. none present for some reason) you can contact the devteam to reset the positions - but this will not work in case you only want to have a fresh start to be able to grab vehicles :)

Over the past couple of weeks it has gotten really bad with hackers, hopefully you will stick it out as it seems that battleye is atleast trying to get shit together. but with that said I have seen more hackers in Dayz then i have in the entire rest of my gaming carrer combined (roughly 25 years of gaming from consoles to PC). Infact a couple of days ago I actually did what I guess you could call an experiment. after my team logged out for the night and being freshly killed in a legit fire fight, I decided to see how bad it really was. I made it a point to join ONLY servers that we're near full and see how many hackers I ran into. Over the course of about 2 1/2 to 3 hours I encountered hackers roughly every 15-45 min's. after each encounter I would change my IGN and change servers, it got to the point that i couldnt even make it to cherno or elektro to gather basic supplies before I got killed. Infact the only time I actually made to a major city was the last run before i logged out that night. but even then I made it to cherno and it was full of busses; there was busses on the silo's, on the factory, some on the fire station and probably about 25-50 just laying around town. now given this is over the course of only 1 night, and alot of it could be writen off as bad luck. Its still pretty bad, over the course of an average day we can usually plan on seeing at least 1 hacker a day. most are fairly uneventfull, hacked weapons and vehicles mostly but they're around. edit: after seeing some of the other replies I do play US servers only just as an FYI edit 2: super late lots of spelling and grammar mistakes :(

So, has anyone ever had any really tense moments where things went horribly wrong because you judged a situation poorly? My friend and I had just found a nice Ural. It was one of our first vehicles so we were guarding it with our lives. The only thing it needed was some engine parts and fuel-tank parts. We stopped by a industrial site along the coast to find supplies. As I exited the vehicle... a survivor started running right for the hood of the car. He then brings his hand back, grenade charging to be thrown right through the windshield of our shiny new car. "FLOOR IT!" I scream to my friend. He pushes the accelerator, runs the guy over instantly killing him, and I prepared myself to be blown away. And thats when the tin can he threw at our car didn't explode. Awkward!

We were the only ones on the server at the time when we hid the vehicles. So I highly doubt that they were stolen. Im just wondering if there might be some bug that makes them despawn or if you need to log in after each server reset to save them again or something like that.

Someone could've seen the vehicles, grabbed them and dipped out, not even caring about the tents.

I've been watching some youtube videos of DayZ and people have helicopters, jeeps and other vehicles, and in them vehicles they have x5 ghillie suits, x5 AS50's, x5 M4 SD's, 5x NVG's. My question is how the hell do these people get so much gear? I'm pretty sure they're not hackers but they have so much gear. I've been playing DayZ for a few months now and I've only come across 1 pair of NVG's.
