I figured out why the player count is dropping. PRIVATE SERVERS!! It was so much fun working with my clan mates last night to acquire the helicopter and establish a camp with vehicles. Its even nicer to know that when we get back everything will still be there. Log back into our server that is connected to the hive this morning and my ATV is stolen and my tent is dumped. FK the hive.

Server is Back online!! We are having a official launch.. !! All Vehicles are respawned! -- Join now!! Have allot of fun :)

Like Tom316 said - how long is your server running? Although I can say that on my server vehicles were present from day one.

I Restartet a few times, but no Vehicles spawned on their normally spots...

I think big engine parts should require seperate transport or require 2 people to carry (and drop if they need to eat/fight/drink). Tyres/wheelse could take a single person but would still need to be dropped when fighting/eating/drinking. They should be difficult and rare and take real effort to get, I'm sick of seeing vehicles in every server and finding camps with 3 or 4 vehicles in!

Server Name: US 362 (AGW Clan) (Your) Timezone: EDT Date/Time: 8/1/2012 - 8/2/2012 7PM EDT - 7:00 AM EDT Server Administrator('s): N/A What happened: My group and I recently raided their camp site that was placed in a very obvious spot to which the clan responds by locking the server... and I can only assume they are flying a helicopter around to search for their vehicles we stashed around on the server. Evidence/Proof: Here is a picture around 7:00 PM EDT: http://i.imgur.com/jxkU0.jpg These same people stayed on the locked server the entire time. Here is another picture around 7:40 PM EDT: http://i.imgur.com/hQnHj.jpg It seems another clan member has joined the server and has begun looting with them. http://i.imgur.com/Lcs3t.jpg Another clan member has joined the server at 8:00 PM EDT. I cannot start a formal post on the server report section in dayz forums I assume due to the heavy server load it isn't showing new posts. http://i.imgur.com/FkGAc.jpg Another member has joined at 8:12 PM EDT The server has been locked for more than an hour since I started monitoring it. http://i.imgur.com/lT5WJ.jpg 8:30 PM EDT 5 hours later the server is still locked http://i.imgur.com/UPBto.jpg 12:09 AM EDT 12 hours later at 7:00 AM EDT August 2, http://i.imgur.com/iUipB.jpg I have attempted to make contact to the server admin but I have not had any luck.

Getting engine parts and such is flawed in the current system, these SHOULD be difficult to get and take dedicated equipment and thought regarding transport. It will make teh vehicles a little more rare and cut down on any and everyone having vehicles, especially choppers! It's ridiculous to have blokes running about with choppor rotor engines in their backpacks!

How long has the server been setup? They have stated it can take between 2 and 7 days before the hive will seed your server with vehicles.

Alt-F4 If you exploit by using alt-F4 to disengage during a dangerous situation it means just one thing: you are NOT prepared for the situation and cannot handle it; that is why you leave. The adrenaline gets too much and you 'flight' instead of 'fight'. The consequences are that you deny yourself any self-respect, and you dishonour the opposing player brave enough to stay logged in during the same dangerous situation. In a game like DayZ which is designed to be punishing and scary, and empowers players to kill each other in a shot or two, would you not feel like a (gaming) failure if you ran away from a dangerous situation - even a certain death 'cornered' situation - just because you got scared? Soon, you will be paying for this service in Standalone DayZ; being made to feel scared; being taken by surprise by individuals and gangs of players; being hammered by more polished Zeds; competing for items and spawns against other players or face in-game death. If you are paying for these sensations and emotions why leave the server when things get thrilling? Hackers Invariably a hacker fits the bill. There are two types: Firstly, there is the hacker that has been beaten in the game by those with more luck/talent/courage/firends/DMR rounds and, as above, has been unable to engage the game properly as intended because of either an attention deficit, low gaming skill, or lack of friends to group with for support. So, like some American highschool psycho gun-nut that was bullied and wants to strike back in a fit of bitterness and pseudo Power, he breaks all convention, rules, morality, and social standing for a moment of revenge which leaves everyone feeling hollow. Secondly, there is the bored hacker. This hacker becomes envious of other players' good fortune infinding gear or vehicles, or becomes dismayed by bugs or bad luck or deaths to hackers of the first type. Either way, they will have a hilarious time 'dicking around' with 'stuff' at everyone's expense with no real purpose. Boredom sets in then 'The Devil Makes Work For Idle Thumbs'. These people are all united under one sigil: <==3

Ok thank you, so there's not much chance of anyone hiding vehicles out there?

those of u that have had vehicles know how easy it is the get loot and to find heli crashes. im on 2-3 heli crashes a day atm its insanly easy to find them with a quad. i do a daily loop to grab some rare guns n ammo then check for some vehicle parts to make sure i can keep my vehicles running. yest i found a box of 5.56 at a crashed heli, that'll be 30 mags then....crazy. oh and btw to others who search the crash sites alot, u gotta look UNDER them...so so many time i turn up to one and find nothin on the ground around the heli...go the the tail and under it.... as50 etc etc....plus loot the pilot zombies for nvgs

I know a servers have the option to turn vehicle spawn off, I was wondering if the servers had the ability to only select what vehicles spawn? my group of about 10+ have been looking at all the vehicle spawns on the map and scouting around the map for a couple days for hidden vehicles etc, we cant find a single thing except for 1 broken ATV.. so my main question is can a server select what vehicles spawn? and if so how do we check if the server has made it so other vehicles don't spawn etc?

Actually, if they implement an EVE online system, where everybody is on the same map, but different areas of it, you could have a solution of PKing, need for clans, etc. How about this - you spawn in Chernarus on the beach (only spawn area in the game). Then you can go anywhere: North - mountains, which combine the constant threat of falling of a cliff West - plains and forests (like Chernarus inland) East and South - randomly spawned islands (which could be as large as Chernarus) and, rarely, ships and oil rigs (to give the game some fun locations) I hope that the maps will be generated randomly at first, with changes made after the release date. If you could, when you die, not only loose everything you have, but your current location as well (it would give vehicles actual utility, as clan members will head to Chernarus' coast to pick respawned clan members up). This would discourage PK, as, if you die, you have to start from the start and it could take you a while to get to your body. Add in a exhaustion meter (run for 1 hour - can't run, walk for 1 hour after that - your vision gets blurry, blood starts slowly draining away and you slowly die after 1 hour of running and 2 hours of walking), which can be replenished by - sleeping (in a tent, very fast), resting (sitting down, average) or standing still (walking and running increase your exhaustion, standing replenishes it slowly). If you wanted to make it realistic: - travel takes half of your food and water meters and a quarter of your exhaustion meter (if placed into the game) - you can only travel to adjacent areas - you can only travel from the very edge of the map (try swimming out to the islands without catching a cold or worse) - you can drive vehicles to another area of the map - keep the soviet style setting (Chernarus), but add a major US base to the West in a neighbouring country (US setting) No storage outside of tents and cars. You need to move around, but add in the ability to use workshops (which need to be repaired before use) to modify/repair weapons, equipment or vehicles.

we did that, we found some other people's base in the game. Then admin accuse us hacking and banned us shortly after. we figured those are probably the admin's vehicles that we took Hacker + admin abuse is a huge problem.

My primary gripe is how many hours of work can be evaporated by scripties in seconds. My group last night had two urals, a pickup, and 7 tents loaded with legit gear that we had gotten from repeatedly raiding the airfields and scouting for choppers. We had two SVDs, most of us had night vision, and three of us had M4A1 CCO SD. We even had located two GPS units. Our entire server blew up a few minutes ago, leveling all our tents and vehicles and killing us all. Sure was a fun way to end the week. My current plan: suck it up and start over.

Well, we've been getting TORN up by hackers, at least 4 deaths in the last hour. Spontaneous broken bones, things of that nature. I'd have to say the base is no longer secure. All vehicles were wiped out in one explosion :\

I connected to the server and our whole camp was not there. 2 ATV's, a boat and 4 tents were completly removed. Not destroyed. I thought okay could be a bug, but 5 minutes later me and my friend got teleported to Chernogorsk and ALL Vehicles were there. An invisible Player killed us with helicopter.

No they disappeared after a scheduled restart that I started. When i jumped in directly after the restart, no vehicles were to be found.

First off I like DayZ the way it is for the most part, I think that the following suggestions would add a nice spice to the existing game if you ever wanted to switch things up a bit. I would like to see servers with different game modes. Your character would be persistent only in the same type of game mode. The game modes could be something like different stages of the apocalypse and would be something like this. Beginning of the Apocalypse – Weapons/ammo, food, medicine, supplies/gear, vehicles are abundant much like current DayZ. Apocalypse 2 years after- Rarity of items is 60% of the Beginning of the Apoc. Apocalypse 5 years after- Rarity of items is 90% from the beginning. I think it would be fun and would like to see a game mode where you can choose at the start like in the gender select menu the ability to spawn in as a zombie. For it to work you would assume control of an already spawned in zombie from a survivor being close to a building. When you die as a zombie, you would assume control of another random zombie on the map. I think that would make for some interesting game play. What would your suggestion for a different game mode be?

This is getting dumb just got hacked again practicly 10 min ago got TP'd from the market in electro to an airfeild with about 7 other players in gillie suits and vehicles started spawning out of thin air ,i usualy play on GB #00 normaly a good server but now just another casuality on the lack of admin support to stop it , i am also closing down my server end of this month we have no POWER to stop this shit coz rocket keeps handcuffing us and blameing the admins for all the evils of the world , it may not be in his "vision" but password protecting the servers is the best short term solution at the moment

kinda agree with triscuit, only seen a vehicle once and it was a fresh spawn, meaning someone lost his little red car...took it for a ride and then left it...came back next day and it was gone, probably stashed some place deep into the woods now. so instead of asking for more vehicles, go into the woods and try to find those vehicles and either steal them or blow them up. i definately like the idea of having to maintain a car with replacing parts after some time.

Just hit a bigger camp and you will find like 20 of them :D in building i found like 5 in a Month i play now. (2 times church 2 time this corner bistro building, last cant renember) In camps and vehicles i found about 40? ^^

Strong post content to thread title ratio... Hiding anything up north is a terrible idea. Many people look up there by default for camps/vehicles. My group found two seperate camps 10 minutes away from eachother on the same server, with nearly all the vehicles except the one we had.

Happening everywhere really. Line 55 of scripts.txt has something to do with enableTeamSwitch, but the people in scripts.log that are getting kicked for #55 are showing associated vehicle explosion calls. Problem is, not even 10% of the people in my scripts log being hit with Script Restriction #55 are driving vehicles at all. BattlEye put out a fix update for it around 8/6 or so, doesn't seem to have fixed the situation.

yesterday me and a friend were instakilled same time. no shots fired. saw cherno getting arty'd or something when trying to get back to our bodies just had hackers fly a few random players on the server, in two choppers, straight to our camp, we killed 2 of them in the process, but got killed, back at camp everything is blown up including knocking down trees, our 3 measly vehicles are destroyed. a week of playtime lost. yay. alpha mod. if anything, the OP and others like myself, might as well take a break for a few days just to let our frustration subside, and maybe the situation will have gotten better.
