The L85 is allot more accurate than many people give it credit for. I tested the hell out of it when I first got one, to the point where I could 1 shot a rabbit at 600m. Once you know the scope its real easy to get hits. And it does the same dmg as all STANAG guns meaning its not too bad at all. Can take a player down very quickly. But it is very easy to avoid. The scope is very limited, hit the tree line asap if under attack and zig-zag. The L85 will quickly lose track of you. The only issue is ATM if the guy has an L85 it most likely has a AS50 too and once hes seen you he will shoot you with that instead. So much duping going on atm. Tents and vehicles respawning all items from the last time it was saved means you dont have to do much as a new guy on the beach to find a tent and bang you have all the best goodies in the game. There are so many tents with this stuff in now its unreal. Also the amount of AS50 TWS guns in the game is crazy. Hackers jumping on servers and changing everyones guns into these things is causing there to be masses of them around. And not everyone is honest enough to ditch it straight away. Battleye really need to raise there game and get on top of the hacking. Then a nice reset of everything by the team and we have a game again. Full reset is long overdue.

Here I did your research for you.. Guess I was wrong about vehicles. http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/15439-vehicles-disappeared-us2/

I understand if upgrading to 95417 Beta Patch (or any patch) I would need to stop my server. My question though, does the stopping or patching servers wipe out server based items? (vehicles/tents etc.) Thanks in advance for the response.

Hey guys, i was wondering if vehicles spawn in new servers? Im looking to buy one, and i heard that they dont spawn in new servers. Anybody know how to enable the vehicles or if they are default?

lol it didn't despawn, you guys just forgot to save it after you were done with it. any vehicles that aren't saved will get back to the location of where you found "x" vehicle that was saved previously. you did however get lucky on the chopper on the at the island with it being all green (unless you fixed it before you started recording), all the ones i've found there required tons of maintence work so the fuel doesn't leak out.

10 vehicles per server not including bikes i do believe (huey is auto on skalisty) randomly chosen when the server first comes online

We confirm, the players Bloopie and Porkchop used teleport cheat, were up to our camp and set fire to all vehicles and tents on the server, 586 U.S., recorded by a video of the event, we will be posting soon.

I do suspect vehicles are borked on our server, not sure whether the devs would do a database wipe for us...

So my mission for the past 2 weeks has been to find a Ghillie suit, which is the one thing that has evaded me for so long. And while looting Vybor, which is my new favorite town to loot since it is nowhere near the major cities or coast, and has good lootable buildings. I finally found a Ghillie suit in one of the brick houses! I'm so happy now, but I need a mission to keep me entertained, I welcome suggestions. I'm on my 34th day now, and I'm wondering what can be improved upon, in this life I have looted Elektro once, Cherno twice and the N/W Airfield four times, those are the major places I have gained most of what I have now. And Vybor three times so far since I just love Vybor now. Here is my sexy Ghillie suit which I had an orgasm over when I found it. And this is what my inventory looks like now after my last loot of Vybor where I got my Ghillie suit. I have a tent on one server which has just some meat in it I think, but apart from that I have no tents or vehicles, everything I own is on me. I had a G17 with 11 mags, but while faffing around in my inventory I managed to destroy it and all of the ammo somehow ¬_¬, so I picked up an M1911 in Vybor to put me over, ammo is a lot more plentiful anyways, and I go for headshots so even a Makarov would do. To be honest, I don't really have an incentive to go and get another G17, the M1911 is still a pretty good sidearm for what I use it for. I'm a lone survivor which you can probably tell just by what I carry, and I can just live in the wilderness forever now if I want, but that isn't fun. What should I strive to obtain now that I have my Ghillie suit?, I could try and go for a vehicle, but chances are they are going to be gone and somewhere hidden up north :/, I do want a Bicycle though, I really want a Bicycle actually, that would suit my playstyle very well, but I don't know where to get one. Oh and I want a Cayote backpack. Please suggest improvements.

i dont really think that anyones gonna trade for a chopper (if they are you better have alot of extremely rare loot). But what exactly would you be willing to give out for a vehicle? And also, you do know that vehicles stay on 1 and only 1 server, right?

Currenlty Ive seen Urals, buses, cars, Quads , bikes and a helicopter. Oh and tractors I think. We've had landrovers etc previously but not seen one since latest patch. Didnt the system change so some vehicles became rarer though ?

Another interesting thing ive noticed today hackers teleporting to specific players offering them stuff, which is bad because it unbalances gameplay obviously, but one guy in particular blood bagged me then offered me free gear and vehicles i said "naa im gd but im catching up with my bro who has a bus" he then said "ill catch up with you later see if you change your mind" then he disappeard into thin air, he didnt disconnect i checked the player list he was still ingame. i was kinda nervous at first cos he was gear up ghille suit, sniper but i was well armed too so i decided to stay at side of him or behind, and hear him out rather than nail him on sight. but i guess he didnt need to shoot me for my gear since he can hax anything he likes :P.

Yeah, we've stolen a ural before and rammed it full of gear. It does suck though, like 80% of the vehicles are hidden miles away off map. FUN!

Personally I think it should be harder, I'd get rid of tents and storing weapons in vehicles, so when you die, you really have to start again.

No, you will not get a global ban for picking up a hacked weapon. Only if you are found to run scripts. From BattleEye "No one is banned for using non-hack programs (like Fraps, overlays, etc.), picking up or using hacked in-game items, weapons or vehicles, being on a server at the same time as a cheater, or other passive non-cheating activity. Therefore all requests mentioning these things as possible reasons for the global ban are ignored." A local server admin may kick you if he wants, but you wont get a global

yeah ok TheSO tomorrow scouting out locations today im gonna try and find some vehicles

Yeah that's what i found from my search. I think my main question is how many active vehicles per server can be running. Thanks for the reply though.

http://www.dayzwiki.com/wiki/Vehicles Check the rarity column. I'm not sure it is entirely correct.. or even finished.. but it is better than nothing I guess.

Do you get anything special from having a lot of days standing next to your name? The point is that once you know how this game works, zombies aren't a threat anymore... You will be able to sneak through most to loot stuff... you will be able to kill zombies with better gear you have.... you know how to run to loose them fast.... You will have tools to cook food out of animals that you can shoot far away from any zombie + you can have refillable water bottles. In the end you could just stay in the woods near a water pond.... cook some meat... and that's it. What is left is to look for better gear (weapons usually) at the PvP hotspots and at crashed helicopter sites. If you make a camp or get some vehicles your stuff can just be stolen easily over night. Especially larger vehicles are not that hard to spot. What do you do with better gear or vehicles? You dont need it really against zombies, but against other players. Vehicles are great to pick up friends or scout the area for other camps or crashed heli sites. For Zombies it is fine enough to use pistols, since they dont attract that many zombies. Thus what do you need better gear for? The answer is PvP. Sorry, but you are wrong if you think the game is about surviving mostly. In the end it is about PvP. I am sure the standalone will be different, but this is a mod, so its possibilities are limited. As you said, you are new to the game. And thus you are frustrated becasue of getting shot so fast.... As someone stated before, try first a server that is not that populated and learn the game... Learn how to gear up fast and how to deal with zombies without wasting that much bulltets for them.... Once you are more experienced you will understand why people here focus on PvP and not on surviving anymore. Surviving by avoiding PvP is easy and boring.... Surviving while still trying to fight other groups its difficult and fun.

I see hackers every day these days. Yesterday one teleported on top of me but coudlnt' find me in the trees (ghille suit, right in the middle of 3 big trees), heard him, spun around and shot him. Scripter? Yes, M240 Scoped, he also had a CAR HORN in his inventory. Next day, different server I'm running along when I see the kill feed light up with one name. Then another. Then about 15 in a row. I aborted straight away (I was in the middle of a forest). Server admin took that server down for a little after that. It is prolific, it's easy to do and you only have to look at the number of members on scripting and cheating forums to know how widespread it is. Some cheaters will just spawn in gear for themselves and use them to find vehicles - nothing you can see directly. A smaller portion prefer to grief by killing servers, teleporting, carpet bombing, etc. I think for every player griefing, there's probably another 3 or 4 just hacking in weapons for themselves (probably because they're sick of perma death because a hacker killed the server and want to get their gear back on restart). Just get used to it unfortunately. Battleye seems to be getting a little better, but it remains to be seen if it's anywhere near effective.

I think with your first suggestion is cool but the idea i had was to have car part retrievable from broken vehicles and make them really common, however make it so you need lots more parts making the hard part of building a car not finding the parts but transporting them instead

Sounds worth discussing guys... but your welcome on my server anytime regardless! I don't kick people for making the effort to get vehicles up and running. I don't actually use Skype... My options here are Mumble (preffered), Steam chat (2nd), Teamspeak or Vent. Add http://steamcommunity.com/id/Darth269 if you use it. I may/may not be online a lot this evening, but should be on tomorrow daytime/evening also Saturday.

the whole thing is thos do you know how many more military weapons there are and would be available during any sort of deployment? If anything, especially once the item impacted the fan there would be stuff EVERYWHERE. Zombies don't pick up lewts unless they accidentally eat it consuming your corpse. I would like to see however more realistic spawn locations of said weapons, ie near soldier corpses. Every time I used to see soldier bodies I would get all excited logically thinking OOO, here should be somma dat good military loot, but no. Also I would like to see greatly improved zombie spawns and behavior. Where is the zombie pawing at the glass window?? Where are the zombies eating randoim corpses or maybe trying to do something that looks almost human?? I would like more repairable vehicles but parts to be more rare. I would also like a much better communication system, like radios or something like that. Finally I would like full weapon customization WITH WEP BENCHES. Make a great situation for mayhem having to be occupied at a weapon bench whilst zack and namely bandits that know a wep bench is there and people going to it likely have higher end items. Also I would like to shift to a 100% pony based economy. You find little toy ponies out in the wild, rope em together, and lead em all along like little ducks and can trade say 1 pony for 1 gps module, 1/2 a pony for nvgs, and a whole or 2 for say a M16A2 w M203 and ammo for each. It would really revolutionize the gaming industry and after the initial ragerz saying "PONIEZ!?!?! WTF IS THIS CREPE!!?!?!?! I WAND TO GO BACK TO DA BEANZ!?!?!?!" but if they think about it! POeople would stop killing each other for said beans and just go looking for ponies, and we can rename the game my little pony adventure in zack town.

Before saying "someone flattened it for the lullz dawg", please hear me out : 12 hours ago, our vehicle and our tent are about 10 meters apart at our outpost in the middle of the woods. Vehicle is mostly used for storage and hasn't moved for days. Both tent and car are filled with equipment. Now the vehicle is still there with its many items, still in pristine condition, but the tent is flattened. It seems to me that anyone who would have found our camp would have looted/taken our vehicle in addition to flattening our tent ; so how can this tent be flattened ? Is there any known reason besides players destroying them with vehicles for tents to get flattened ? Is this a bug ? Thanks for any light you might shed on this mystery.
