He's not exactly making himself super clear Anton, but he says he wants to extend his camp-finding outside the border. As in, he wants to know if it's possible for other people to horde them out there, to know whether he should bother looking out there to find horded vehicles and camps.

I also noticed this morning that X-hairs was turned on. I wonder if the admin was in that group and he turned it on so they can scan for their vehicles more easily. That would be BS lol

I've looked through my logs several times after seeing vehicles spawning (like 5 buses in 10 seconds), being thunderdomed and being sent off to Misty Peak (like thunderdome but the ground is covered in bear traps) with basically nothing in the scripts.log I see everyone being transported but not who initialized the move. If they're injecting code, like I've watched in a youtube vid the other day, they aren't running a script for BE to see.

So my experience is so-so. I've managed to loot about 8-9 downed choppers and have been ghillie/gps/map etc a few times with.50 cal m4a3cco etc. So I can gear myself up in about a few hours if i do die. Looking for a group of survivors to run around with and fix up vehicles, etc. I'm pretty geared run now minus the enfield im carrying. pm for more info :> btw i play alot. around 3-4 hours a day. age 25 location SC, US role scouter/sniper

I vote remove tents from the game. Anyways, I once saw a tent in an open field, it had 8 dmr mags and some other stuff. Also remove vehicles, or just make them require a ton of maintenance (oil changes tuneups and shit)

Did you seriously just rip my post completely? http://dayzmod.com/f...r-good-players/ what a joke! rofl I remember this guy now. lol Rexx on skype. We chatted for like an hour before he starts getting pushy about if I have a camp and what gear and vehicles. LOL He got mad when I wouldn't just give him stuff. I removed him from skype and ignored him. HAHA and he copies exactly my post in the link LFG. These are the kind of tools that play this game and why I posted lol looking for experienced players..

I agree with this, DayZ with vehicles is so much fun. As you said it also gives you a little quest to do for repair runs.

I have never in my life been actively targeted and killed by hackers just for trying to admin our server. We actually pay money to rent our server and what happens? People hack in vehicles, can teleport, give themselves extra guns or ammo; even ones that aren't in the game. I seem to have no power what so ever to find out who these people are and there seems to be little done about it. Every time I get on global comms to say "Sorry we have a hacker, restart in ..." I get killed. often I just melt into the ground. Im sick of it. there is no point in being an admin in this game as it only gets you killed, in my experience. I absolutly loved this game before we got a server and tried to convince my clan to rent one and now we have to restart every 5 mins because some new cock end has spawned 5 more helicopters. Everyone is getting thoroughly frustrated by the lack of options - all i can do is restart the server and then the nob heads just rejoin. Except lowering the difficultly to see name tags, i see no way of identifying these cunts. As I am writing this 2 members of my clan have told me someone has just teleported next to our tents and killed them. We had a guard on sentry watching the whole place. I know a sneak attack is possible but the amount of times this occurs is frequent and is getting really fucking annoying. Does battle eye actually do anything? To me it seems like punkbuster, a pile of shite. If the game has been out 2 years and battleeye still cant get it right then maybe that just shows how shit battleeye is. Please sort these hackers out, or give me logs to go through so i can determine who has done what. Because at the moment most servers are now administered by hackers now as they have more power than the people who PAY RENT for the server and this is taking the piss.

They are fun. They give you a goal - Attaining and maintaining. Making facory runs etc. They encourage team work - four seats? May as well use them. There would be FAAAAAAAAR more. This wasn't a traditional war and civi vehicles should be mostly intact. It's not overpowering. Driving a vehicle around holds many risks - blowing up, shot by as50 and all four occupants ejected and killed. (it happend) They are fun.

Then they'll use vehicles instead, which'll add to the vehicle 'hoarding'

A bus is probably one of the worst vehicles in the game in my opinion.

I read the title of this thread and was going to post "Why not" and then I read the posts. I'm worried that by touching the tents I'm only adding to the duping problem. I've only set up a tent once so I don't really understand how the mechanics work, same with vehicles. Can't you empty the tent, save it then smash it an when the server restarts it'll be empty from when you saved it?

Hey people, Looking to start up a clan/group to play on au/anz/us servers, plan on setting up fully equipped bases around the map, gathering the best vehicles and loot etc. Once setup and organized we will start to seek & hunt down other clans groups, go on base raids, and basically wreak havoc all in the name of fun and hopefully gaining some notoriety as clan hunters. Probably keep the clan to around 12 players to keep things manageable, players interested must have teamspeak, should have a good knowledge of dayz, navigation, etc however will teach noobs what they need to be good clansmen. Most of all we wanna be actively doing missions to better our team and not standing around, Please post here if keen wih your player name and I'll add you to a list pending approval, once you have played with one of the clan and are deemed trustworthy will be approved and be given a rank, let's get I cracking gentleman!

I've heard this said many times but it doesn't seem to be the case. Personally I think any tents/vehicles should be automatically moved back to the border after a restart. However I know most people hide their stuff at stupid distances off the map only to log on a few times a day to refresh them which honestly sucks. So is it acceptable to keep your tents and stuff 5KM off the map so no one can find them?

I have the same problem. Hadn't played for a few days and when I tried to login today to save some of our vehicles I could not get through loading.

Ill pop by your TS tonight but Ill leave an app here in the meantime :) Age: 25 Experience Level: 2 days of in game experience. Know pretty much everything about the game (bar vehicles) through videos and articles. I have a very tactical playstyle which comes from experience through military ops airsoft and zombie apocolypse airsoft. Prefered Role: Medic / Scout Location: Scotland SteamID: mlongshorts

I believe they get deleted after 24hrs of inactivity. Personally I think its stupid, they should be deleted on server restart... there is NO reason whatsoever for being able to save vehicles outside the map. I mean whats to stop someone flying the heli 20km north of the map where nobody will ever find it, log back in just before the server restart and fly it back to the map, wiait for restart then fly back out again. :/ stupid. Should be bannable offense..

So myself and my group got tired of the script kiddies so we started looking around. A buddy found a Reddit post about a non-hive group of servers that are 'hack proof'. We were intrigued about the idea after losing several vehicles, choppers, items and suits to mindless fucks that download scripts. Almost every day we'd re-acquire what we'd lost the day before but we'd end up losing it again... So after almost three days of playing on these non-hive servers, we've yet to encounter any sort of cheating. We've already been in a few intense engagements and only had one person Alt F4 on us (isn't that impressive? :D). We've got a chopper, quite a few vehicles, and ghillie suits (still lacking nvgs :c). By this time, we would've already been teleported, bombed or dropped from a kilometer in the air. Have we? No. So I guess this post is saying that the 'official' servers aren't worth a fuck. The rules, regulations and requirements are actually supporting the scripters. These 'private servers' are full proof that DayZ is capable of having less cheaters if the right effort is given. I'm very happy and if anyone is wanting to join, feel free to investigate at Rinaun. Like I said we've yet to have any issues with cheaters in any way.

Just throwing this out there. man, I just found 2 vehicles within a km of each other! Woot! But, they both need everything... wheels, engine, fuel... bummer I'm still looking to medic someone, west side of map

Ander has stated that vehicles outside of the map boundaries get deleted iff, at the (re)start of the server, they have not had interaction with a player for six or more in-game time hours.

Hello :) I've just finished re-installing Arma2 combined ops on my system to be able to play DayZ and I am SOOO excited! Anyway, just a quick question really, I've heard people mentioning that they have to save the positions of their vehicles to have them stay there, how is this done, or is it automatic? Also, is DayZ like MMO's with the servers, as in one save on a server is carried onto the next one (with all your equipment) or is each server individual saves? Thanks and I shall be hiding someone near you to stop you from stealing my beans xD

What's wrong with camping. On a 225km^2 map, it seems like appropriate to have sniper rifles. On a 225km^2 map you're going to get bored sitting in the middle of nowhere. On a 225km^2 map snipers go to the busy places, because that's where the targets are. On a 225km^2 you try to hide your camps/vehicles, where it's least likely others will discover it. I am looking forward to vecihles hidden outside the map get delete if left unattended for 6 hours or hopefully even less.

Hey all, vehicles and tents that outside of the map (where no grass is) get destroyed? or there still saved? Cause after Server Restart i was in Debug Forrest, relog and joined on the beach, beside me there was all cars/heli that we missing and never found on map, so is it possible that this cars standing outside the map? We still have to restart the server cause of a tent bug, after this all vehicles still gone :(

I don't know how to begin but yesterday was a great day. On my home server we have a group of 4 hoarders(that I've seen) who I've had a few run-ins with. Anyway, I was looting a crash site outside SS and I started taking Sniper fire, whoever it was wasn't a good shot, but I managed to run to cover to the tree line. Well me being one who will not back down from a fight, I started to move closer to get a view of the crash site hoping whomever it was would attempt to loot the Heli and I could get a make on him. It didn't turn out so well for me lol after much ducking and crouching the sniper finally hit me. I sustained a broken leg and major blood loss. The only thing that saved my ass was I was in the tree line, so I was able to cure both my injuries and get deeper into cover. Ok, so I could've backed down by this time and got out of dodge but its not my style...Again, almost blind I managed to get a good view of the clearing...well I guess they got spooked and I saw a Off Road truck leaving the scene. I start shooting with my M4 A1 but they managed to get away. Now, I managed to make my way back to my camp, replenish my blood and grab my Kobra. (I usually keep all my high profile weapons at camp when I know there is a chance of death :) ) Well I made my way back to the crash site and well, well they're back...this time with a bus also. I watched them for a few minutes and saw one of the scoundrels coming over the hill on the northside of SS, so when he got into about 20 m I opened fire on him and killed him. I worked my way up the tree line toward the vehicles and saw a guy in a ghille and it looked like the ghilllie rifle on him but as soon as he started taking fire at close range he Alt-F4'ed....the other two scumbags were in the driver seats of both vechiles and tried to get out of dodge, so I started spraying them with bullets through the windshields and killed them both....) I got me a truck and some NVGs ....You'll never know the satisfaction I felt after that engagement. If any of those guys read this ....Your bus is in pretty bad shape in Novy but I think I will keep the truck :) Remember fellows....You may have had the numbers but you did not plan properly nor did you not secure the area properly. Having two guys sit in vehicles when they could be covering a vector is not smart kiddos hahaha Especially after you engaged someone and did not kill him...Some people like me, do not cower from a fight and discoe :) Now thanks thanks again for the truck and NVGs..Now I can mover my camp somewhere more secure...Thanks again. :)

About those tents in the middle of the woods, those are never safe, being a career camp raider I usually know exactly where the good tents are. Armed to the teeth thanks to some extremely well stocked "clan clusters" I will wait at night outside a camp and while eating beans and sipping on some mountain dew waiting for engine noise. Survivor(s) drive up on an atv or bike, or a car if I am lucky, park by the tent headlights on, get off, go to tent, get wiped out. Otherwise I just loot. I would go into more detail but that is not the point I am trying to make. 1. Isalnds are more or less secure if you control most of the easy to get "small boats" especially that rock 12 km out, but holy shit and one bad chopper landing will wipe out your tents in a heartbeat. Never use choppers for islands though because people will see it land and take off from the high pop coast and that is never good. Land by boat and from the side facing away from the coast. 2. Seperate you vehicles from your main camp by at least 2km, and use a bike to travel between them. No engine noise that the wary looter may hear. 3. This may seem crazy but never put your tents at the top of mountains or even in wooden areas that are mostly flat all around. I never spend more than a few hours without high tier gear from easy places like these. Put them in odd locations, not just on the map but in the terrain, but seriously, EVERYBODY will find that tent city in the north east corner of the map. Use centeral north and north west if you have absolutely no better place to put them. Use the NW pass for vehicles and keep them in a motor pool away from your camp. City bases last little longer than beans in a backpack so I would only use one if I wanted to start over and go out in a guns blazing atop the battlements fashion. Think alamo.
