LOL, nobody cares and it's a part of the game. The fact that you're so mad is fucking hilarious. I've always said, "Vehicles are easy come, easy go" and to have one is just a priviledge. EDIT: My clan of 20 have had urals / uaz's / pickups / hatchbacks / GAZ's / ATV's / Motorbikes / even tractors - stolen from us or blown up, but we find them again and we deal with it. Keeping vehicles in a tiny group or by yourself is almost impossible because you can't protect them 24/7, but even with 20 people, hackers can ruin a good night, but then we go out and find some more. It's a part of the dayz life.

ANNNNNNNNNNNND its gone... you do realize there is NO point in finding vehicles on public servers? between the hackers, exploiters and douchebags your never going to hold a vehicle for longer than a month, so dont even bother trying. they will always win, unless your lucky.

Instead of giving you a fish, I will teach you how to fish. Recently the player-usable helicopter was reintroduced back into the game. The spawn point for this vehicle is on an island. One of the server variables causes you to lose gear while swimming. There are few boats to be had in DayZ. With those 4 bits of knowledge, a player could deduce a likely place on the mainland to find tents or vehicles where a player has temporarily stashed most of his gear before making the swim over to the island. I put this knowledge to good use last night, garnering an m16a4 acog, nvgs, rangefinder, gps, morphine, and a couple other items I was in need of.

Rocket is being an useless POS and tents are still broken. After every restart our tents have been wiped clean and thus we've stopped using them at all. I'd move the vehicles myself but running two kilometres to get back to the other car is a chore and takes a lot of time in mountainous terrain.

Thanks for the help and lifting the ban, I just spent the past hour installing my second copy of arma 2 on my other computer so I could get your teamspeak IP didn't expect a response this quickly. and I was unaware that vehicle was hacked in, I am VERY happy to see how active you are with banning hackers and suspected hackers I appreciate it and looks like I may have just found a primary server to play on. That was the one of the first vehicles I have found so I was a little excited when I saw it and didn't think to check the loot tables, I'll print off list of items to check over with any suspicious items. If you banned my passenger as well can you please lift his ban? He was just a random guy I met in the hanger, honked and invited him for a ride I would hate to have him face a similar fate for simply jumping in the suv. Unfortunately I did not catch his name.

This is why you don't rely on vehicles for storage, common sense really. Just get revenge and take them back, it'll give you something to do.

Guys, guys, guys. Situation is sorted (I think) - Moons ban has been revoked and the rightful recipient was banned instead. Everything blew up out of proportion - Only Moon was banned originally and the server has NEVER been down for a long period of time regardless of what people say (except for recently to flush the hacker) - its just a bug with servers right now - check sixlauncher/ingame browser yourself and you will see. In any case, they are keeping the vehicles, people are sorted, everything should be fine.

Hi, I'm one of the main owners on US866. You were in a hacked vehicle - the black SUV. We were actively banning a CRAZY amount of hackers today (and we just finished banning more). We saw you in a vehicle that was not in the loot tables so we banned you and destroyed the vehicle. We will lift your ban. I would recommend you take a look at the loot tables and just familiarize yourself with the weapons and vehicles and stuff. That way you can avoid these situations in the future. If you ever find something that you don't think should be there, then please join our TS (our ip pops up every few minutes to join) and let us know. There is almost ALWAYS an admin on. It might take a couple hours to lift the ban. -Jay-Nic

This happens to me all the time, Ive lost vehicles etc. Its extremely annoying and forces you to disconnect asap Im about to give this mod a long rest and go back to my other mods

Jesus christ... friggin kids i dont play on this server or care about this B.S but in general it irritates the crap outta me.... so moon and crew how much did you pay for this mod? 0$ right? yeah thats what i thought admins have to pay for YOU to have a chance to play. and when anything goes wrong people SCREAM ADMIN ABUSE ADMIN ABUSE. also you can get any vehicle up a steep hill its easy do it at angles. we got a bus on my server up an almost 90 degree incline by just going back and forth. also we filled a camp with some really juicy stuff over the course of a week completely legitly because when you have a large clan with multiple vehicles especially a helo its silly easy to do.

Apologies If I'm regurgitating said Ideas....:) Underground fort building is a great idea and Evil Genius was a great game. I also loved Sim City and Age Of Empires too. My suggestion is to combine all these elements into DayZ and create the most fucking awesome online, persistent, First person, team based RTS\FPS ever. Possibly the first of its kind. Here's my thoughts on some details. So you start playing DayZ. You run around collect some gear, "survive", shoot some shit...then what? You join up with or form a group, run around collect gear shoot shit...then what? Well hopefully (soon) you build an underground base with security systems and agriculture systems. You defend it, collect gear, shoot shit, attack other guys fort....then what? I feel DayZ could be turned into absolutely the coolest fucking game ever made by taking this fort building\resource management to the next level. First Thing...A clan\friend\family system will need to be integrated into the game. This data can be collected and used to implement the following sort of thing. 1. Put a structure or object into the world that when captured (and while held) grants advanced fort\city\resource management mechanics to the clan controlling it. Like a giant, persistent game of Capture the flag. a. The normal underground fort building mechanics would still be there for ALL players. But to the clan holding the "flag" (maybe a government building or something like that) To the clan holding the "flag" more advanced RTS City management option become available. Things like....smelting and forging (ammo & vehicle parts manufacturing), infrastructure (power grid, and plumbing for clean water) Advanced agriculture options. Advanced skins and vehicles (police and emergency services) The possibilities are great. Take the bits that can fit into this context From games like Sim City, Age Of Empires, or any other cool RTS games. b. The World Is Theirs...If the clan is capable they are free to expand their area of control as far as they can. Of course other players\clans are free to attack, resist infiltrate, subvert or use any means to wrest control away and into their own clans hands. Or Alliances can be made (and betrayed :) woohoo). So much possible fun. c. Ruling clan or clans (maybe there's more than one "flag" to be captured) can still do what They want. Terrorize with death squads, oppress and horde or... Provide a "safe area" for social interactions and trading, medical services, ect... I think this has lots of possibilities and will never get boring. The ruling clan or clans are busy managing their power and fending off attackers. While the rest of us can plan revolts, form alliances, and build secret underground base camps from where we plan to overthrow of government. Blood feuds will form, hatred and Jealousy's fester. Dynasty's may come to power. Uprisings, rebellions, sabotage & espionage, betrayal..... All Out War!!! Oh yeah, and lets not forget on top of it all Zombies & and infections that are an actual threat. ///////////////////////////// '/////////// /////////////////////////////// Now I have a second suggestion which I'll mention but not go into details about in this thread. It has to do with the morality\humanity mechanic. I know this is a hot topic but I feel it's important to the game. First of all, lets face it....this a game so death will never have any meaning. I'll just go refill my coffee and start again. It doesn't matter. But I think murdering SHOULD matter. Murder is a serious action and it has social and personal consequences. I think it would be cool to somehow code this into the game. The "humanity" mechanic. It COULD add a new level of authenticity and immersion. While it maybe less labor intensive to implement, this is a much more complicated mechanic than "Empire building" and it has been discussed ad nauseam. But it's something Rocket is trying to Work out so I'll give my suggestion and try to keep it constructive. I will write it and post it in a separate thread. //////////////////////////////// //////////////////////////////////// If you like the Ruling Clans idea please respond, make improvements and bump this so it maybe gets seen by someone who can try and make it happen :)

another hacker by the name of matt was flying over top of cherno, being shot at by all directions didnt die ( 5 min of shooting ). then he teleports everyone to the top of a building and shoots them one by one, then he made ppl start walking into the ocean (manipulating their control). EDIT: Later that day, he spawns every vehicle on the map in a line in cherno. this took all our vehicles with loot to cherno. then when we finally got to the vehicles when all was quiet he hunted us down one by one in the cars. i got from cherno to zelengorsk till we got shot driving. also another group we were with 3 other vehicles were also taken down in same fashion. Later that night we finally got server reset and found 3 of the cars we had from before... ( hard to believe i know right? ) save it at our camp, and go to bed. Today when we woke up the cars were all gone. im pissed off at the edge here. i look around for 30 min and found them! YAY!!! they were only 1k away in a field. guess what i stood around there and got in position for friends to come. then as im scanning the forest, nothing can shoot me at this point with the l85 i see a shot miss me by a yard silenced as hell. ALT f4ed to a better position on a diff server (hate me all you want, fix the fucking hackers then i wont alt f4). I spawn in a tree about 1 click ahead of the position i was shot at and CANNOT be shot at again. im prone and dont move a hair, all i hear is another shot, but this was after i noticed something where i was proning before on the hill, there was a helicopter sticking out of it. so at this point i know its a hacker and a shitty shot at that. he misses me each time and i alt f4 before he can get me . http://i.imgur.com/A1rO7h.jpg - heli that was in my old position THIS HACKER IS GREIFING THIS SERVER ONLY! WHY!!!!

that would be solid evidence if there wasnt the ability to hack vehicles..... dat circular reasoning

Was searching the NE tip at Guba for a PBX spawn and I walked upon 2 guys, spawned a BUNCH of vehicles, one of those giant ammo crates that you see if you've ever been Thunderdomed. So basically at the very NE tip of the map, where the little bay begins to wrap around is where all the vehicles/gear is: Killed the 2 of them, guess no godmode? And took what I wanted from their big gear box.

I just hate the fact that admins on alot of custom hive servers just give themselfes every single item in the game and just spawn all the vehicles how they want them to.

Why dont we take 3 maps. >chernarus: a map with medium loot and vehicles >lingor: a map with high loot and vehicles >another map: a map with no or a bit of loot and vehicles so we could play the dificult we want to or we could take tose maps and add a option to chage the commonness of vehicles and loot

you inbred little shits needs to stop blaming the fucking admin every time a hacker goes on the server. ADMINS CAN'T KILL YOU, ADMINS CAN'T SPAWN ITEMS OR VEHICLES, ADMINS DO NOT HAVE ANY SPECIAL ABILITIES, WE CAN ONLY KICK, BAN AND LOCK THE SERVER it was a hacker.

Don't head North first. Head west to around longitude 005. Once you get there head North. Clans horde vehicles and more supplies than you will be able to carry or drive off with around this longitude. There are plenty of deer stands you can divert to and hit up on the way. Once you get to latitude 022 head East again. Be sure to hit the North hills above Petrokova, this area is a gold mine. Before you hit the NE airfield, you will be well and truly fully kitted. You probably won't run into anyone the entire time whilst you get kitted up... just be careful when looting. Clans don't like to kill players around their base unless they are sure you know its there because they don't want to draw attention around that area.

Clearly the tractor being ON the hill is evidence? And no, only Moon was banned - which will be lifted as soon as he messages me the REAL culprits name. We arent bothered about the vehicles though - you can keep them. We will come find them ourselves :')

You know if I was hacked once or maybe twice in this game, I wouldn't be writing a post on my concerns over hacking, but after going to about 15 different servers in one day and dealing with hackers on easily 8+ of them, I must say hacking has hit an all time high. Games like Counter-Strike where you die from hackers, isn't so bad, because you can easily target who it is, kick them and you don't lose anything special. In DayZ when you get hacked, you lose everything and I mean absolutely everything. It's demoralizing, it's not immersive and it's definately not fun. I play this game because of the combat, I love the pvp and I love how engaging it becomes, especially when you take out 3 or 4 guys. I consider myself a top tier bandit(pvp player) and yes not many of you will like that, but that's just the way the cookie crumbles. I'd say out of 20 of my deaths, 15 of them were done by hackers nuking, spawning on me or auto-aiming/wall hacking. I know Rocket you said you can't do much about hacking until you can lock up the files, but honestly how can we fully test an alpha version of the game, when were getting hacked 90% of the time? My friends and I will hoard vehicles and hackers spawn us, blow everything up and we lose it all.... Your game has hit over 1 million copies, I am sure Bohemia has plenty of money to spend now on a small team to start an anti-hack program that is extremely effective, rater than this battleye crap were using now. Like I said, I am sure many of you out there have experienced what I have experienced in the last week and you probably want to download hacks yourself to protect yourself and retaliate against the cock smokers that use them against your everyday legit players. Something must be done....

odd. just as i post on the forums that the server is unavailable to me (one of the people who 'stole' the vehicles, server becomes availabe if i was banned, thank you admins for unbanning me.

Do you restart the server whenever your vehicles get blown up etc?

i was there when the vehicles were stolen i think i killed only one zed and no other players the entire time the operation went down. i'm either banned from the server, or the servers down. either way scumbag admins are mad their hacked shit got stolen. obviously hacked up there because the hill they were on, their was no way to get some of the vehicles up there. oh well, every 2nd server has a camp in the exact same spot, dunno why my friend would forum post about this

-1 There is more than enough vehicles now and it would be taking out the excitement to find them. Their rare, adding more would make it much less exciting.

Wow, I seriously have no idea how so many people agree with the OP. Day Z has a enough vehicles to support a 50 person server on average. Just because you can't find them does not mean they aren't there. (I have yet to see a range finder spawn but I know they're out there.) Lets count shall we ? 2 buses 3 ATV's 2 Motor bikes 2 fishing boats ( or more) 2 bicycles and at least 1 of each of the following : Huey , civilian ural, S1203 van, the off road truck, V3S civilian , UAZ, GAZ , old hatchback, the PBX, and the tractor That is at least 21 vehicles for 50 ( I say 50 because it's a pretty standard server size) people. That's more seats than people to fill them. And I may have even missed 1 or 2. For a 15x15 Km map that's enough vehicles. What possible reason is there that could justify adding more vehicles besides "I wanna drive fun cars too". If that's the case go find a car that is hidden out in the woods. Also remember that vehicles have a CHANCE to spawn. That means they have a higher chance to NOT spawn. Just because you've visited 100 vehicle spawns and have yet to see a vehicle simply means you have yet to see a vehicle. There are a number of reasons why that could be . Bad OP. No beans for you.
