I was mainly referring to aesthetic things. How your character moves, looks, the items you find, the vehicles, where things are placed, etc. I'm also not suggesting to get rid of the military grade equipment of course, but having civilian based objects/vehicles/clothes/weapons/etc much more common and accessible. Environment wise, yeah, I'm definitely expecting to feel th vibe of a military presence though.

It only makes sense to have a strong military presence as one would expect to happen at an outbreak like this.. And it lends itself pretty well to the gameplay given that there are awesome weapons and vehicles strewn about. However it would be undeniably cool to have large urbanised areas, maybe even a small city... It has so much potential.

Vehicles can be used for travel, but no gear is to be stored on them. I'm trying to keep the playing field as even as possible and not rewards groups that play more often durng the week and therefore can stock pile the gear for the weekend events. Personally, I wish DayZ would take away tents and storage of gear in vehicles. With the duping as it exists today, the threat of death is significantly diminished as players can simply run to their vehicle(s) and be fully geared without having to visit Starry, the NW airfield, deerstands, and downed choppers. Forcing people to visit these areas to re-gear means more PVP opportunities. At the moment, most "PVP" occurs from a sniping position 700+ meters away.

some people think that if they have payed the rent for the server they can do what they want, lock it and take all the vehicles, restart when they get killed. the only think they should fo is kick hackers and restart sometimes..

And thats not to mention it uses the 7.62 as M14 aimpoint and DMR, which mags can be actually converted for the M24. To be quite honest IMO only noobs and badshots need AS50.. (alright I admit it has some use against vehicles actually, being 50CAl and all)

You see, the thing is, I have had items in my vehicles disappear before. I cant hold all of my stuff with me. I have to store it somewhere. Not to brag, but I have a lot of valuable stuff.

Ok so.. me and a couple friends have actively been hunting this clan over the course of the past week. I'm not sure exactly how many members you/they have but man.. you guys need to get your acts together. Just one simple example (by the way me and one other guy have a good 20+ kills on your members in the past week). Last night I was at NE airfield. I log in, and see two people crawling around. I notice not many people are online but a few GSUA people are. So I take out a guy in a hangar after blasting M203 flare after flare to try to blind him I give up. I decide just to use a satchel charge and kill him. Done, ok cool, that was fun, moving on to a new server I suppose... there weren't too many GSUA members on and we honestly do roll this large group of people (ive seen it full of 90% clan members, prob 20 or so, so I know they roll fairly deep). Well.. I decide, no screw that, I've seen how horrible and dumb this clan can be and decide to plant another satchel charge on the body... I wait and sure enough they COME BACK to loot the body.. this time with a truck O.o What are you thinking im wondering... I feel bad because I'm thinking.. aww maaan this people are so dumb, but hell, someone HAS to teach them a lesson, maybe they'll learn something! I blow the hangar up, snipe two guys, I don't even really remember all the details. All I know is that I have 85gb of footage of me and a friend sniping you guys out, blowing you up, and killing your clan in any other number of ways. Looting camps, stealing vehicles, sniping people IN vehicles (one guy got REALLY lucky he didn't die) All I have to say is that you guys need to seriously sit back and analzye what you're doing, where potential threats could be and then proceed with whatever plan you have. I'm almost to the point where I just feel bad destroying these people OVER AND OVER AND OVER again... I mean seriously, they must either be a casual gorup of friends clan, or just really bad. Either way get it together guys...I think I'm going to find another server to play on for a while, then check back on you guys and see if you've upped your game at all. WE NEED SOME COMPETITION. Well I'm done ranting. See you guys in maybe a week or so. Sorry for looting your camps, finding most of them, taking some vehicles and overall just griefing you guys. Just know I want you all to proceed to get better, not just keep making the same mistakes I killed one guy, two minutes later, guy goes up to loot, snipe him too..I can't even count the number of times this has happened. And also? It seems you guys frequent stary? What are you guys thinking? Do that when you can actually CONTROL your attacks and instead of getting rolled daily over and over. Mind boggling how bad this group is...Sorry to offend but know I really do want to see you all improve, so far I've seen no improvement though.

If all you're after is a FFA deathmatch in the city.. you might as well just fire up ArmA 2 and drop the entire DayZ mod altogether. You'll have access to more maps (including the one DayZ uses), more personnel equipment, more types of gear, more vehicles, better respawn mechanics etc. And you won't have annoying zombies getting in the way. And ArmA has a crazy number of mods available for it that can improve sounds, gameplay mechanics, etc. If you listen to Rocket's numerous interviews, you'll know that DayZ was really designed to encourage cooperation between players. Obviously it's not doing that very well, but the point is you're trying to fit a square peg through a round hole and (because of that) you're always going to be struggling against the setup and limiting the amount of fun you could have if you followed the advice mentioned above. You also might want to check out All Points Bulletin: Reloaded. Lots of modern day urban combat happening there, and it's free to play.

Well my clan 'The Hellsing Organization'. We are very organized at a time we may have 10 members in our teamspeak at once and you may think its a cluster but no. See what you need to to do is have 1 - 3 camps and any new recruits should be given atleast a couple of weeks training before being allowed to use or know where 1 of these camps are this is so if they do happen to expose 1 of your camps you will still have supplies/vehicles left elsewhere. Camps usually shouldnt be confined to one server you really need to expand so that you have other options.

Having different bases per ranks is actually a really good idea. Don't want the guy who joined an hour ago to know where the elite weapon caches are. Don't want the guy who joined yesterday to know where all the vehicles are. Don't want the guy who joined a week ago to know where the Huey is. Never heard of your clan, but there are plenty out there - go find another or start your own!

I don't understand why you're suggesting no tents and no vehicles though? I definitely don't want to play like that, but I do like playing in a squad and obviously won't stand for duping, logging, or hacking. -Joker

tents seem to have doubled there since this thread started and im guessing they were using the no tree/bush/grass exploit to find vehicles but since we were stealing their vehicles taking our stuff back for 3 days straight they made new camp somewhere i believe

Hello dear admins from US 351, I have a simple straight forward question, with a little backstory: A couple of days ago I stole a helicopter fair a square (Mostly because of the beautiful headshots) with my buddy. We called in another guy and we started flying happily over the little survivors. A couple of hours later we notice someone looting the NW airfield with a ural, wich we engaged with the heli. The guy probably logged out and we stole the ural. We drive/fly up north to secure it somewhere, and not long after the chopper/ural is beeing shot by a single guy. Flying uphill to evade him we see a HUGE survivor made camp consisting of 2/3 vehicles and a lot of tents, totally baracaded. My buddy secured the ural and we shot one vehicle down so no-one could get away (other one was a bus, so yeah), and tried to loot the camp. I sayed tried because two of us went down and were sniped by a survivor, gaurding the camp. Now that was the end of the night for us, so I stored the vehicle somewhere and logged of. I had to be out early so I checked if it was still there. Since it slided inside the trees cause of a really ugly landing that was just really stupid, I hoped i could get/glitch it out (it was between the edge of the treeline and in the treeline). When i logged in the chopper was still there but the engine was damaged and the fuel was less then when I last stored it. Suggesting someone did try to get it out but failed. Only the engine did work somehow, so question mark there. Three hours after; Server is OFFLINE for 1,5 days. When it was up again, I checked all three spots. Chopper gone, Ural gone, camp gone. My question: Did you guys make the server local (copieng the server files to a local pc) or whatever, then relocated the camp because it was comprimised, finding the chopper and ural in the progress? OR did you guys fully sweep the server clean...? I am not accusing you guys with anything, hell it might not even be your camp. I just want to know what happened to my dear chopper. Greetz, Tikas

that issue isn't the same as fresh servers not starting with vehicles.. this is an entirely seperate issue, wish people would stop linking that.. the disappearing tent/vehicle thing has been around for awhile and a restart easilly fixes that.. I just bought a server 2 days ago and we are still vehicleless it sucks.

+1 for making the app. It doesn't work very well on my iphone 4 however. I've got the same problem with it locking up. I also lose the button options you have for vehicles, notes, etc. My iphone is jailbroken and I'm not updating to a newer ios version since the apple ios sucks ass. Good luck with your project though!

We will update asap, but waiting on.. ZZzzzilayer :) Just want to mention the server is about a week old, but there's still vehicles about in the open. Saw a white GAZ just an hour ago, crashed into a pile of rubble in the southern part of Polana. Go fetch :D

Hey Meades, I am one of the admins for US 501, we take a lot of time to parse through logs every day and ban anyone that appears to be scripting / teleporting around the map / spawning in vehicles and weapons / using illegal weapons. There has been A LOT of hacking as of late, and as such we have been banning more and more people for obvious hacking (just yesterday the whole server got teleported into the ocean, a guy teleported around to different players as god mode, then later in the day 4 choppers showed up). It's possible that I made a mistake in your banning, which is why we list the email of our server as soon as you log in - for direct access to us, the admins. If you can PM me one of the following two things: Your full in game name at the time of your ban or your IP address. I will look back through the logs and verify what I had seen, and if we made a mistake I would be glad to unban you. Thanks for playing on our server.

I found a camp on my server similar to this, but with about 10 vehicles. It's still there, saving it for a rainy day.

Short Version: Hacker spawning boats/helis on NL 13 Long Version: Right, I started playing on NL 13 3 weeks ago, wasn't playing much, like 2 hours a week I guess. 1 week ago, I started playing intensively, like 7 hours a day. I was just randomly on the road and saw a Ural, while I screamed on direct com, YOU SHALL NOT PASS. They stopped. Good, we went talking and became friends, afterwards I raided together with them. During that, I noticed something. Recently found a Tent Camp with lots of m4a1 cco SDs, as50 and all the other l33t st00f. First time I tried to go there, there were two guys in ghillie, they were moving crouched, shot 6 times with m107, but missed. They aborted and changed position. Right I can take that, as I had an L85 Spotter. I was camping that area for 30 minutes, then randomly, chopper cames in with two guys, I kept shooting at it, but it just continued it way. Not sure if I hitted no smoke came out. Right, still no sign of those guys. So I decided to server hop too, to let those guys taste abit of their own medicine, now, 1 minute after I logged off and joined other server to change position. Just north west of my position where he had a clear view of my old position. We spotted nothing at all with infrared until that guy logged in, so I told my friend to shoot him with m107. Succes. Now I went to my new position in NL 13, suddenly I see something dead on the ground, I move towards it and got shot at without a single sound. Right, that is still legal, because if you get HS with as50 or other instant kill weapon you don't hear anything. Now my friend saw a other guy, told him to shoot, he killed them yay. Suddenly a wookie with a AK just rambo'd my friend and we are both dead. Well, we accepted it as defeat and went off, I logged in about 5 hours later to raid their tents again, was a succes, but got shot after I ran about 100m. Meh. Still legal. 2 hours later, I go with those guys with a ural, looted everything and hided the Ural somewhere safe, next day it was gone. buhu shit happens. Now on to the next chapter, a few days pass and my friends and I acquire 2 busses, 1 lada, 1 tractor and a pick up truck. As we were all chilling at the base, I went north up to set up a secret backup tent until I got shot, I tell my friends on the teamspeak, as a result: Half our team dead until we found that sniper with l85. Now what happens after, our guys got shot again and only 1 guy remains, he keeps watching our tents and vehicles until a fucking boat spawned right there and a vehicle was heard, then, boom. All our vehicles exploded. And my friend was slaughtered. Luckily server restart happened in less than a hour and all vehicles were luckily intact. AWW YEAH! Now the next encounter is when my friends are looking for chopper crash sites. They suddenly hear a loud chopper and a chopper just randomly spawned behind them with a guy driving it and following, my friends got out and we shot it down. now we all got teleported, even I, I got to the beach, while my friends got spawned in between an army of zombies. We got out, waited 5 minutes and got in again. Seems he left. But we didn't know he would come back. Now, we were north of lopatino, searching, we found 4 tents, 1 inaccessible, the other 3 were full of m4cco sd, 3 gps and some nvg and rangefinders. We also found a bike. We were with 3 people. So I told the two to go back to base to pick up a vehicle with more space so we can loot this. Now I went AFK in a pine tree, i go back to ask for the situation. Suddenly burst of dmr shots around me. I server hop like the coward I am to a other spot. Got shot the moment I spawned. Now the weird part is, there was a boat, freaking north of it on top of a mountain. also the guy probably tried to shoot me 30 times or so as he couldn't hit me on sight. Coincidences? Maybe. But there is no motherfuckin' boat spawning on top of a mountain.

Tents / Vehicles are not saving! The server that I was crashed (about 20 minutes after I saved my shits in it) and it disappeared! Any reason for that? in 1.7.2.4 wasn't with this problem.

Hello, hopefully you take the time to read my post, if not, I truly have no reason whatsoever to acknowledge whatever troll response you decide to post. That being said, let me get these few arguments out of the way It is an alpha - You didn't pay for the game - Arma 2 engine is trusting - Battle Eye is not at fault - Don't blame BI or Rocket - QQ moar - U R JUST BAD Alrighty then. Now to the point of my post. As you are all aware, hacking has become absolutely rampant in this mod, so much now that every single server I have played on for more than half an hour in the last several days (perhaps week) have had hackers, or more specifically, "script-kiddies" on them. This has lead to so many deaths that I have lost count. Whether it be by mass teleport to a free-for-all where the hacker always wins, an invisible douche shooting me and all my friends, my fresh spawn being teleported into the woods on a road and sniped, being killed by hacked guns, god mode players, aimbot snipers, or even just nuking the entire server which effectively destroys every person, vehicle, and tent on it, a hacker has killed me on every single one of the servers I have played on. I know some of you may be thinking I am exaggerating, which is fine, because even if I was, the fact would remain that me and my group have only been killed by other legitimate players about 4 times in the last several days, and every other time we have died to a script kiddie. Now, I know what you are thinking, "don't get attached to your gear, its fun to start over, blah blah" but seriously now...we all know this is a bullshit argument. The problem with the amount of hackers for ME PERSONALLY is not that I lose gear. Hell, I tend to FIND most of the high end gear off of hackers, or players that have found the gear off of hackers that I kill. Once 30 NVGs spawn in a server due to a hacker, they are circulated til restart, spread to other servers, and so on. I do not give half of my last toasty shit that I lose good gear. I do care that the current state of hacking in the game makes it unplayable. What I mean by that is this, I enjoy playing with groups. I am not a bandit, and so other than shooting zombies in the head until I run out of ammo, I am forced to rely on creativity in order to enjoy this mod. That's fine, and under normal conditions, I would. Unfortunately, it is literally impossible to work towards ANY goal that takes more than an hour or two in this game. If we are lucky, we can find a vehicle or two, fix it up, and drive it for about 45 minutes before something ends our fun...namely a script-kiddie. Last night we drove two vehicles across a field, one jeep (I believe it is a military UAZ) and some hippie-dippie bus. Twas fun. Then, all 4 of us in the jeep were killed, they headshotted me, the driver, going 45 and swerving within 2 shots. They then continued on to kill each person within 3 seconds. I counted. The second car full of people got the same treatment. One person alt f4d out to save himself. He flanked the hacker on a different server, came back, and was literally sniped the minute he came in. The night before, I was in NWA with a small group. We were loaded up on guns and ready to go for a car, when suddenly, BOOM...the entire server gets carpet bombed, we all died, and lost all of our things. I have been teleported to NWA or the tower in cherno so many times I stopped counting in the last several days. MY FRIENDS AND I CONSIDER THIS TO BE THE BEST OF ALL THE HACKS, BECAUSE IT IS THE ONE WHERE WE CAN POSSIBLY AVOID DEATH....we somtimes alt f4 and log back in 30 minutes later and end up with some loot. If the fact that getting hacked is seen as a partially good thing does not set off some alarms, what the hell will? We even fought a guy who was spawning in gillies and thermal snipers for himself in Elektro. I killed him once. It was more fun than I had had in the game for a while, because it was the only real challenge I had in a long time. The only players I come across anymore are poorly armed new spawns or hackers with godmode. There is no middleground anymore. There is no way to work towards a goal and make progress. There is no fun in a game where you can only play for 3 hours tops before losing EVERYTHING and starting over AGAIN almost as if it is scheduled...hell, even if you log out with progress made, anything server dependent could very easily be erased , as all it takes is one nuke to ruin everything you had on that server. Until the game becomes stable, I refuse to play it. It is complete bullshit that a mod that is supposed to be coming out in THIS YEAR as a stand alone game could actually be in this poor of a state. How does rocket or the dev team expect to inspire any kind of confidence in their game when it has five months, and that is being generous, to become a secure, relatively bug free game? This is not an alpha. Alphas are not around 5 months before launch. That is a beta. This is the shittiest beta security I have ever seen. The problem is only enhanced by the hardcore nature of this game. I made this thread, because though others have been made, the problem has not even been acknowledged by the dev team or Rocket. Well, as long as I have to deal with hacking script kiddies, this forum will have to deal with me and every other pissed off player that is unsatisfied with a broken game that should be great.

Man I feel like I checked every inch. Its pretty sad. I heard a rumor that some people over a certain instance ID number are not getting vehicles spawned on their server Hope it gets fixed soon. Brand new server.. should not be possible for people to have hidden the cars already. Thanks

Hey Rocket, I know you've got gamebreaking graphical glitches, tents and vehicles are currently buggy and not working well, zombies that run through walls and hackers running rampant everywhere. But can you put fixing all of those aside to completely rewrite the inventory system in ARMA 2 to one that I like better?

How can you tell that no one has the vehicles hidden somewhere? You checked every inch of the server for vehicles? Hope ya get it figured out soon
