Server: DE 466 Time: ~2:30 pm - 3:00 pm CET (UTC +1) What happened: 2 Guys named; JustinBieber and ThurstonMoore were teleporting single suvivors around the server and killing them and spawning vehicles. How do i know their names? Me and 2 of my friends (XDGott and Andi) played around elektro there we heard a heli, in that heli were 2 persons 1 with a ghillie (who was at the gun) and the pilot. After we got spotted they stopped. We were looking for them what they're going to do, so after a while the ghillie guy started shooting us and killed XDGott instantly. I dont know what my other friend did but he ran probably away and i hid myself behind a tree. Fortunately i had an AS50 sniper and tried to get the ghillie guy down and succeded after a while. The heli crashed and both died (im sorry that didnt take some pics) and i studied both bodies and saw their names. To cut a long story short after that heli crash they started teleporting people and kiling them and i was the first one... I've made a video about what happened while the teleportation and what happened then and took some pics. http://i.imgur.com/YjKuS.jpg http://i.imgur.com/irFnK.jpg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mG_al3S1HYo&feature=youtu.be

See the image, Bloopie (vehicles -4, tank 1)

It is refreshing to get into a firefight and have everyone actually see it through to the end. It was a fun encounter to be sure. Honestly, we'd just stolen the bus from someone's camp. We figured it was yours and you guys were hunting for it. Stumbled across the van while joy riding the coast. Within like 30 seconds of finding the van I saw your ATVs coming down the road. Two of us in the Bus and one in the Van. Was my idea to park the bus as a shield (since we thought you were looping around from the north) and try and take out Skavik. Then we got greedy and decided we wanted both ATVs. I have no idea how we though 3 people could drive off with 4 vehicles. I hate that I was one of the casualties but we had NO idea where you were after we got Skavik. We figured you had doubled back somewhere but weren't sure and didn't have any L85 goodness with us. I opted to act as bait so that buddies could narrow it down. Was hoping you'd miss when I hopped into the bus. I was wrong. We had absolutely no idea that there was a third. But, that's the price you pay for a prolonged engagement. Shame about the Van getting exploded in the firefight. My guys barely escaped. Sub 2k blood on each of them as they drove off in the Bus. Rotating drivers as they passed out. And, glad you like the server. It's actually mine. So, I'll claim some good karma for not being the typical dick admin and restarting/rebooting because I died and lost my kit and some vehicles. ;) We'll be seeing you guys around, I'm sure.

Did you see that admin online as the only one? - Also, the admins can't track any position of vehicles nor tents.

These are all good ideas but at minimum the vehicles off map should be reset every time server restarts. The vehicle blowing blowing up after 10 minutes of being off map is even better though. There should be no reason to have a vehicle off map, there are plenty of good hiding spots in bounds. My group has 5 vehicles stashed and all are in the boundaries of the map.

Not with a bunch of random lackwits I bumped into and have never met before, sorry. That kind of "team" is a death sentence. Not enough people know how to play this game properly to make that a sustainable model for building cooperative team play. There are far too many considerations, especially once vehicles and tents become involved, to just team up with every random Joe Blow I run into in the game. Half of them just end up getting me killed by alerting zombies or nearby players. I cooperate with people I know and trust. Everyone else gets the business end of an M249. Make friends and then play the game with them, not vice versa. If you don't like or want to do that, then you will be at a disadvantage against those who do. And you will be victimized more often.

I’d like to see player created/contested zones, for example split the map up into multiple zones and at the center of each zone have some sort of base or command centre so to speak, this could be a barn, police station, town hall, or any other significant structure. At the top of each command centre will be a flagpole, in order to raise a flag (which btw would be your particular clan tag) you’ll need for example 5 people to all click on it at the same time (the bigger a zone the more people it’ll take to capture) once this is done the whole zone will become Clan A’s area and will be notified by a global message informing everyone that Clan A has now taken control of zone B. What this will do is a: give clans/groups a place to call home and come with certain perks for instance a garage to store vehicles, boxes to store gear etc, it will also give other players/clans a target to either attack, trade with, avoid or set up allegiances and effectively give the game more depth with a constantly shifting powerbase. It also will give the game so called safe zones as the clan in control of a command center will then be able to build defences a certain distance from the base be it sandbags, tank traps etc and allow trading posts to be set up free of zombies for players to come and go. Outside the zone zombies will still spawn as before but not inside the compound. Inside players can set up stalls to sell or trade weaponry found whilst out and about, notice boards can be put up and modified offering jobs, hit contracts etc. That’s what I’d like to see, obviously contesting and taking over a rivals base would need some serious thought as siege mechanics would need to come into play and what’s to stop clans coming in when the other team is in bed/work etc and raiding the place as let’s face it with a global server base players will be on at all times of the day and night and a UK clan might have difficulty keeping a base when its 3am on a Monday night! Anyways just a few suggestions

Off map stuff is only prevented if the vehicles are left 'unattended' for >24 hours. So you can save everything off map you want if you drive it around a bit every day, and save it back in the map at least once a week (there is another hard timer that removes everything out of bounds once a week). I'm hoping the team will fix this and make it so nothing can ever be saved out of bounds, or at least a shorter timer that only lasts minutes of being unattended.

The only reason to take a vehicle outside the map IMO is so that you can travel quickly around the map. Point A -> Point B. It's reasonable to assume if you are relocating your Ural from southwest corner to northeast corner, you don't wanna drive around all the random roads or spend hours navigating between trees and up hills. So speeding along the edge of the map to get a large distance seems like a reasonable use of vehicles to me. That said, 20 minutes of "Unattended" time should be more than enough time to stop and address a threat if you are shot at. Or if you need to stop and eat/drink or any other reason for a stop. Hell, that even works if you need to make an emergency run to the door or something. Also, there's absolutely no reason not to just drive right on the inside of the border to the map. I can't think of one area where it has anything blocking you (there's at least a few car widths of 'empty space' on the inside of the map border). All of that is second however since this time is 'unattended' meaning 'not interacting with.' So driving outside the map is fine until you leave it parked there. I would say if you save your vehicle to coords outside the map it should auto-relocate then and there. Or have the variables adjusted to the nearest IN-MAP point, right on the border. TL;DR: Make it instantaneous. The second you save vehicles "out of bounds" relocate them to the map. Drive them out there all you want, but they should reappear in map on the next restart or earlier if possible.

Saving vehicles off the map isn't meant to be possible anymore...dodgy server maybe??

Okay, so I have a few suggestions for how to improve Day Z which is obviously all my opinion but hopefully some of these idea's will gain support. [Rare Items] So, in my opinion the mod in it's current state is abundant with everything people need to survive. I've already told the story of how I gave myself a challenge dropping everything at my new spawn and coming across a Czech backpack, a hatchet and revolver and filling my bag with medical supplies within 10 minutes being the least stealthy I could be but still getting past zombies with ease. I think I ended up with 13 zombie kills throughout that time before ending up near the North West Airfield to help my friend with morphine. [Weaponry] So my proposal here is to severely reduce the amount of weapons found in the game, and I mean drastically. This would have to be done on a large update when everything is wiped so those playing beforehand don't get a huge advantage but essentially running across a Makarov would have the same chance of spawning as the current highest tier military gear and from there on the chances of better equipment getting even less likely. Through this I think that less groups would be equipped like a small army and having one player equipped with a pistol would be a huge threat in a group of five or ten people. This meaning more chances for bandits to catch prey unaware and a chance for survivors to have a decent chance against a group. [Tools] I think tools should have less chance to spawn, at the moment there are far too many hatchets and hunting knives lying around, matches and tool boxes have a decent spawn rate in my opinion... And I think this is where we should have a more realistic setting, I dislike posts about gaining "skills" but I think a class system would work with people only being able to carry a certain amount of tools. This would mean they can obviously pick them up and swap between them in their packs, tents or vehicles but not hold all the tools at once. This may shift into those taking less pronounced roles, so maybe everyone will carry a hatchet, hunting knife and matches to feed themselves but then one person may also carry a toolbox to fix up cars or remove traps whilst one may carry a map and compass to orienteer the group effectively. [Other] So I think food and water are too easy to find, I like the "Make DayZ a Living Hell" idea here, starvation and dehydration if you don't find food and water when they become more sparse, less medical items laying around whilst more realistic medical items should be implemented.

Hi there! Nice to see my nick in hall of shame XD. Used maybe it once but it doesn't matter now. Just wanna say that server is cool, loading fast, no lags, high fps, but there is one problem - vehicles still not saves after restarts (camp tents saves well, we placed two and they still present after 3 days). So server is cool, but we gonna leave it coz of vehicles, we wanna to find and repair a heli, but do it in intervals between server restarts - kinda suck :( I'll check this forum for updates, hope u will fix the problem with cars. Best regards.

Did you save the tents/vehicles?

bikes pwn most of the vehicles in this game, car does like what 60 ? but take it off road and you get 15 ? the bike is always 30 no matter where you ride it. They are pretty silent and get you where you need to go pretty quickly. http://youtu.be/IVGkGxp1gvU

Hey me and some friends were driving around in a v3s when suddenly every vehicle got teleported to the same location after running around for a bit someone named kyle teleported to us so i shot him 5 times and he did not die so i aborted (only because i new he had godmode on). shortly after everyone was teleported in the air so my mate alt f4ed (because of the hack) and he got a message saying "you cant escape that easy alt f4 is now changed to suicide" we are getting so f!@#ing sick of this. we spend all night getting gear and vehicles for a hacker to ruin our night, sorry title is missleading it was us 599 not us 625....

i know the not spawning bugs but usually a 2nd restart fixes not spawning tents and vehicles. and some vehicles did spawn so i guessed that after the crash yesterday an accidental rollback did happen. just wanted to know if that is true or if my tents and vehicles will respawn on the next restart or if they just got eaten by the server.

Maybe I haven't reached the point you have but my friends and I have started getting some really sweet gear (and hoarding it all of course) so now I"m travelling down to snipe some people down south. (I'd snipe up north but we don't have the coordination for that despite us taking out 4 travellers with 2 vehicles I was the one who got all the kills) I've always wanted to stalk some people and just track em' down. Play with some buddies or find some friends, we're always driving around like idiots in a car doing burnouts and getting air time as we look for crashsites in which we then find a vantage point and try to kill as many zombies as we can before we race each other to the loot.

We are having a problem on our server with vehicles saving right on the spot they are destroyed not back at their spawn spot, basically after a server restart the vehicle is right back where it blew up. Also the heli, if destroyed, spawns back on the spot it took off from not on any of it's other spawn points.

If you read the thread before replieing - You will know that there is a problem with saving on this server, Vehicles such as Tents. It's a known problem, which will be fixed at the upcomming patch (1.7.3=/=1.7.2.5)

Like I said, they're very close minded and refuse to read the thread. They keep posting things that have nothing to do with the idea and act like people are asking for the complete removal of it from the entire game. What is asked, is for another option. This is in Alpha, the point of an Alpha test is to submit and add content that can change the game, to experiment with the very idea of the game and find what is the most appealing and fun. Adding in Pve servers is both easy, and could vastly increase the player count come standalone. $$ Talks. BI is the source behind the standalone and they will without a doubt want to add in options to bring in as many customers as possible. This means they will want to make a softcore version to appeal to casual gamers. Strategos, I don't think you understand what brings people in. I know I wasn't attracted to the pvp. An Open world Zombie mmo that I could play with friends, is why I came. The pvp is a side effect and not needed for me to enjoy it. I spend very little time having to pvp and a good 90% of my time fighting zombies and looking for loot or repairing vehicles and exploring the map. If there was a pve version on the standalone. I'd still probably play on pvp servers, because if I wanted to pvp. i could, if I don't want to. I won't go to main cities. However there are countless people who no doubt do not want what you want. My nephew likes to watch me play and he doesn't like that other people can shoot you. Now mind you, there are loads of people who like pvp, but there are loads of people who like pve. There is not a single reason at all to not allow both pve and pvp players to enjoy the game. It will only bring in more sales and help the further development of the game. Quoting rocket means nothing, sorry but if he wants his game to compete with WarZ and Dead linger and class 3. He is going to need to attract as many people as possible and keep them here. No one here is asking for him to create special pve endgame content. Not a single person has asked that in this thread. No one wants special content or different gameplay. Sure, they could create two seperate pbos and allow pve servers to use one and pvp servers to use another. The one for pve servers would have increased zombie damage or what have you. All that would require is to change a few values and name the pbo something else and save it. Wouldn't take more than 15mins probably. So no, it would not cause any problems at all to change the value that sets zombie damage and let the servers "flag" for pvp/pve.

Posted Today, 05:53 AM Its hacked, but if you grap it its okay to use it Quote from Rocket rocket, on 26 July 2012 - 05:19 AM, said: No This rumour has no basis to it whatsoever. Using a hacked vehicle/weapon will identify you during database analysis, and your character may receive special logging attention in the database, but you will not receive a ban without creating them yourself. Edit: http://battleye.com/support.html quote: Quote 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. CLOSE THREAD, NUFF SAID

The V3S ain't lost, it's just at the old location they saved it at. Why? Because the hive still fails to register as it should. And as such, finding vehicles might be hard, if you look for them in the original spawn locations. Of you hate them so much, do like me. I don't care about loosing my gear, I just bring everything to Cherno/Elektro, find a suitable spot to look for "bandits", in the usual sniper spots. And I sit there for hours on end, listening to music and just scanning the area from time to time to see if there is anything happening, and to listen for sound. Find a spot that's about 800meters away from the sniper spots, and lay there in wait with your M107 and or AS50. And ofcourse, you need an original nick like me "ALTF¤Wh0rez". The distance is simply so they won't hear from what direction you are shooting from. And yes, I ignore newly spawned survivors.

The best way in my oppinion is to make cherno a whole island, all area that is "non-grassed" should be ocean .. than nobody can store vehicles outside .. like lingor island :P

Not a big fan of storing vehicles outside the map, I destoryed the tractor at that lake center north outside the map and also brought back the PBX speed boat beached from out of bounds.
