I am a experienced player in dayz. have played for about two months with playing time being almost everyday. I had a group but have lost touch with them. I know the map pretty well and have experience using all the guns in the game and can drive all vehicles and am pretty good at flying helicopters. Looking for group to or clan to run with.

Isn't even remotely the same issue. If you had fully read the post you would have read that. We realize tents are bugged. But this isn't the same bug. This is all tents, new old, upside down, whatever. Vehicle inventories too, Vehicles themselves stay put just fine, but their gear does not. I even made note about how this is similar to just days before 1.7.2.4, where every new tent after the Millionth tent in the database wouldn't save inventory. Only this time its EVERY tent, and even vehicle inventories. Not trying to berate you for skimming over that, just, this is a completely different issue, and trying to find out if it is isolated to just my server, HFB servers or a problem with the database affecting everyone. If I can get close to nailing that down I'll go jot it down in the bug reports.

Vehicles should be spawning soon!

Vehicles are server based so they don't transfer servers with you. They also remain in game so store yours wisely so it doesn't get stolen. As for getting so many items, you can store them in vehicles or tents. Those have huge capacity.

I feel yourself and Bacon are missing my point. In my opinion, and in my eyes this game is seen as a zombie/survivor game. Not a Kill Each other, and oh it has zombies in it, game. The survivor part comes by scavenging for food/water, etc. That's the extent of the depth in this game, which has potential to be quite in depth. This game however lacks the replay value (reason for this post) in that players get bored/just want to kill other players/etc. There needs to be more to this game then just collecting all the cool stuff you want, getting bored and then killing other players or resorting to hacking/scripting/whatever those weirdos do. Hence the suggestion of adding more things to repair/build/scavenge to keep people occupied. The game is not hard at all, and it's not tense in any way shape or form. You guys keep bringing up things like "Stop running out in the open" and all that. No one is saying I, or others are doing that when they are shot. I've spent countless times rubbing my belly raw crawling around trying to get to where I need to be. When I was killed earlier (mentioned in this thread) I was trying to enter the NW Airfield Hangars, and there is only one way to get to them and no brush. I was prone and crawling, hence how easily he shot me. There is no tactical way to approach that. Throw out some smoke? Yeah, and attract the 10 zombies I was trying to avoid in the first place. Again, my opinion... but I don't see the point in gearing up just to camp out somewhere and wait for someone to approach just to kill them for sport (I say sport because there is probably little on them that you are interested in anyway.) To each their own and this is my opinion, my thoughts. We'll see how the game progresses for better or worse. It's gotta do something more to keep me interested though. Even if I had everything I wanted and camped out in the wild, surviving peacefully that will get boring. Maybe I'll go repair/collect vehicles and by the Jay Leno of DayZ or something at that point. Either way shooting people for no reason is still a tool bag thing to do. If you argue that fact then you're probably the toolbag shooting people for no reason, the end.

player video with a hacked/scripted Map !!! look at the video the map shows players and vehicles in some forums he say "Yes i hack its kinda fun". Please ban this retard

Considering my guildies play on this server and we went to some effort to get a decent size camp with vehicles, weapons, and gear. I really don't want to go to another server.

awesome talking with your team last night :) was in a rush to config my mumble, hence the username :P i'll need an admin to change it for me or else i will be stuck with that username forever~ nyahaha i'll look out for one when i trek this early afternoon :3 How i ran into the script kiddies: Was trekking up north peacefully, minding my own business when suddenly, i heard a buzz high up in the mountains. I look around and spot an ATV and a GAZ in the distance (zoomed in, they were but tiny silhouettes in my 24" screen) driving south-east so I prone and think, should i engage or just chill? i wanted to test out my DMR on their vehicles so i head to the nearest forest behind me while i watch them. Suddenly, an Offroad Pickup Truck pops out of the air and i thought it was just lag. A few secs later, the Truck disappears and i hear a soft engine near my location so i look left and OMGWTFBBQ! it teleported near me. So i stand up, seeing the truck approach me, thinking he wanted to run me over, i panicked and shot him in the face a couple of times with my assault rifle. nothing happened, then he tried to run me over XD! so i dodge, and fire him a couple more times but nothing happened :3 i dodge some more, shooting his vehicle, popped his right tires and then aimed at his face again. The tires are magically fixed and I realized what the hell was going on so I ran for dear life. :P I head for the forest, hoping those trees will provide enough cover for me to get away but the trees were too spread out. He tries to run me over a couple more times but i dodge like a baws a couple more times (screaming OLÉ afterwards) then i notice his truck was acting a bit trippy. I dodge him one more time but alas, he got me after X tries. Broken bones and shocked, I Alt+F4'd and died in a different server, which made me realize, no point cuz my body will disappear anyway and they don't really need my gear since they can just script it in. Thinking, "man, the gear i had on that guy was quite nice", i decided to try my luck and rush to my body after spawning in Elektro. Luckily, I found an Old Bike and it cut down my travel time ALOT. got my phat lewt back, and searched for their camp, but found nothing. :P The whole engagement was hella fun. If anything, I know my aim isn't off for CQ Fire Fights, and I could be a Matador of some sort when facing trucks in the forest. But yeah, moral is: if you encounter a script kiddie/hacker, you WILL NOT win so GTFO -immediately-! XD Hopefully the standalone will be hacker free :)

Terror is my 2nd name. Must be 18 or older. 19 Preferably EU/UK members but we may take International members too. France then moved to French Canada. Although I am above fluent in english ;) Must have their own supplies there wont be any handouts at the beginning. I was a spotter for my friend who left yesterday :( Rangefinder,L85,m9 silenced, alice, everything to make my own food :D We do not accept any d/cs, hackers or server hoppers. I may have some connection issues in the next few days because I just moved to a new place but my internet connection should be up and running in the next 48-72 hours ( right now I'm tethering from my phone which can give me high pings on some servers and kick me out, but it will definetely be fixed in a short while. Must have played the game preferably for atleast a month or for more than a week at the least. 1 month and counting Must know the chernarus map and were the the main loots spots are. I am very familiar with counter sniping spots, so if we are to raid big cities, I may be a good addition ;) Must have skype or teamspeak preferably both. Both, including Raidcall Contact me asap pls Edit : As for extra gear I have some tents spread across the Hive so no matter where we will be I've got a camp waiting not so far. Most of my camps have been up for weeks and never been raided. I have a few vehicles also but I am mainly interested in getting a chopper up & running ;)

That has been a coincidence. I am the only admin -- and leaving aside the restarts today, I don't usually restart the server manually -- the only restarts that happen are the automatic restarts at 0600, 1200, 1800 and 2400 UTC and restarts when updates are applied/released. Sadly, the recent betas have tended to sometimes crash the servers, too, after which the server auto-restarts and sometimes loses the vehicles until it is synched again at 2400 UTC. :-/

Located a repairable helicopter. Server is Chicago 56 on skalisty island. The Hull is the only item green. I am not interested in having it myself because i play on a crappy laptop and lag and performance are really bad in vehicles. Free to first come first serve.

I too am having the same issue. Instance id in the 8000 range and no vehicles. We got a downed heli once but that is all. This makes me a sad panda:(

I began playing on this server a few days ago when vehicles began spawning. I repaired a few vehicles and made a camp then the next day some of the people in my group began getting banned for hacking/cheating . After this the server began advertising that they will ban/kick any one who is PVPing. today myself and my friends were banned on the server.

The cows say "mooooo" scared the living shit out of me, one dead hostile cow! Also. tents and vehicles seems to have been wiped, atleast so on the two servers i frequent most. (not back after restarts either.)

Yeah, it's sad, I'm all for people stealing my vehicles and taking them to their own camps and continuing to play on the server, but instead people are just out there to cause grief to servers by destroying all their server's assets, leaving nothing but a massive crater. The worst part is that the change to the respawn time of vehicles encourages griefers to do this in a server, as once it's done, it can't be undone for 7 days. In minutes, or even seconds, a hacker can send a single keystroke and render your $50 server useless for a whole week. Come on Rocket, give us something to repair our servers from these attacks!

Consider the ratio of guns to vehicles in DayZ. It is very unbalanced. In any nation how many bicycles are you going to find versus how many guns? The ratio itself perpetuates the PVP in the game. It isn't simulator it's a death match game running under the guise of an apocalypse simulator.

Not sure if this is the right place to post, but it seemed appropriate. First off, I'd like to thank Twyst and his buddies for giving my squad a great little skirmish yesterday on US958. It's refreshing to run into people that fight and don't ALT F4. By the time the dust settled and everyone scattered 2 people had died and 2 vehicles were burning wrecks. Me and my buddy were rolling along the coastline on our ATVS when we ran into your group coming at us head on with your Van and Bus - my friend didn't stop in a very opportune place and he got killed rather quick. I managed to spin a 360 - head up the road and pull away far enough to hit the treeline and line up my sniper rifle and call for backup. The rest is history. If people are looking for good fights, I can vouch for atleast our two groups that are currently going at it on US958. It was an intense 30 minute engagement and I hope for many more in the future. Kudos!

I never see any vehicles anymore when playing except for choppers that hackers are spawning.

Try going on a server that has a high number like US 1568 or higher and try and find some there, pretty much all the old servers' vehicles are taken by groups or admin

there's no set way to find a vehicle. Its all chance. My best advice, go base hunting in forest areas there you will find vehicles

me and my guys can use some help...i guess...we need medical suppies and stuff to build vehicles....we are on server:us1213

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.

My 2 cents (some scary people here).... 1. Playing Solo Less risk in dieing Carry less supplies Unable to heal as easy No communication with others Vehicle repair far slower Traveling can be tedious 2. Co-Op Very high risk game-play Can carry more Heal easier Kill easier High stress game-play (chance to get back stabbed) Very high reward game-play Someone to talk too Repair vehicles quicker Can take a long time to meet up with friends Im still a bit of a noob but I far enjoy co-op more then solo. Solo is ok at the start to just run into a city and gear up but slowly starts to become boring. With co-op, I love having a good chat and plan our next move. Yeah, the risks are high but if you have been playing as long as I have (games in general), you find a challenge in a game and you try to beat it. Games are about risk and if you don't take those risks then whats the point? I find it very disappointing that today's gamers will see 'risk' and avoid it to the point of killing new players. Not only that, but they state a "positive" reason for doing it which "makes it ok". Hitler made killing Jews the "right thing to do". Maybe I have a weird way of looking at things? Gamers are gamers and I want to play with them. Its a shame so many these days don't see it that way.

no i stopped playing there. hackers took my vehicles ;(!!

Servers USED to respawn vehicles once restarted. This is not the case anymore. Now they take 7 days. It's a pain in the ass. Anyone know if HFBServers will just reinstall the whole server so we can start from scratch?
