If they want people that are paying for servers to keep doing so then i think they do owe us at least some sort of time frame. Why would i want to pay for a server that has no vehicles at all. For us that is half the game.

what's the problem with vehicles? i play with just another guy so find a nd repair a vehicle is quite an effort, but it's a lot that i don't see nothing on wheels...and also when we manage to do some vehicle run we never find anything..

Excuse me but we started a clan and wanted our own server that didnt have all the vehicles etc horded by the clan that owns the other server. What is so hard to understand about wanting some clarity on the progress so we can make educated decision?

Haha well at least now I know who keeps killing our new guys at stary. I usually stay away from there but if I were to take a guess you were the one that got me and two others over at one of our camps and proceeded to destroy the vehicles. One thing though we don't kick people from out server as far as I am aware. We have done many restarts and I mean MANY. Which does involve us all getting kicked and losing our bodies. Plus w/e stupid other stuff that disappears during this time.

Buying a server to get all the vehicles you otherwise wouldn't get, then whining because of a possible bug that prevents you from getting the expectet advantage? Sounds legit.

Yep. Finding other people's stuff has become a fun past time. So, yeah, there's really no security. But then that's really life. But then again, it's hard to say what exactly is the probelm. Tents come and go now...they're there, got stuff, saved, server restart, they're gone. A couple restarts later they're back but with different stuff. Some times they are bugged and you can't add anything...but the good news is you'll never run out of NVG's because the same two pair are there every time the server restarts. That last parts not as fun as it sounds...I swore to the gods I had put another DMR and the ammo I found in one of our tents...but it wasn't there. It wasn't until a couple days later when I KNEW I had put that AK74 I had picked up after a new life...only to find it gone and all the same stuff in there that I figured out that tent was bugged and was never gonna let me add stuff. Vehicles come and go to. So, it's hard to tell...hackers? Bugs? Raiders? Can't really answer until the tent and vehicle bugs are fixed (hopefully in the mod for some stability for other features to be worked out for the stand alone). I don't hackers...they don't need to raid your stuff. Besides, thunderdoming and letting you do some HALO without a parachute seems more interesting. As far as where you are placing them? Yeah...good luck with that. Every one looks for them. And that 70's washed out woodland texture is really easy to spot...so...it's kinda a fun game to look for them. As an aside, I would like to see a better tent texture, or textures...and I would love some camo netting to. Real cmo netting...the kind that jacks with IR. Oh...that would be a nice addition to the camo clothes - IR resistent (and after I jacked with that guy about him wanting to make camo clothes specialer). Out.

Spawning random vehicles and more of them should be great.

A bigger map with much bigger cities, I like the idea if actual borders, maybe make it so your in a small infected pocket of somewhere and if you try to leave the map you run into mines like in cod lol. Bigger cities more islands maybe more vehicles(like normal cars), bridges that are almost fully destroyed to connect islands, much more guns, maybe 1 or 2 bases of just ammo, say an american/NATO/UN camp and a camp with ammo for almost anything else, but no rocket ammo, more zombies, a better rendering system and just a general revise of everything. Oh and the ability to have a group, I hate not knowing who's who.

This is not screen of you playing the game, but the screenshot of the tool. This tool has flaws: it mixes things up. For it all "characters" (as you can see in RPT logs files) are players. But sometimes it can be some items such spawned vehicles, stash, etc. I am interested in your RPT log file, can you send it to me via PM?

That would be lame as shit. Just an update as to the idea that vehicles should be less rare, in the past week me and my friends have been exploring a server that we call home. We have now raided numerous camps and our own hidden camp now contains a yellow Volkswagon hatchback, a Bus, a tractor, a V35 Military truck, 2 motorcycles and 2 bicycles. This is about one week of exploration. Vehicles do not need to be less rare, people need to be less lazy.

So my grandpa was watching me play Dayz yesterday when he noticed I couldn't get through a single layer of barbed wire in a firehouse yesterday. So I went over to the church which was also cut off by barbed wire, and I couldn't get through that. This made my grandpa very angry and he started telling me war stories from WW2 and how he and his men would have to crawl in the mud through dozens of layers of barbed wire getting cut here and there, but they made it through the barbed wire. I thought to myself, maybe barbed wire should be passable, but its slow, or you take a bit of damage or something. After all isn't this mod suppost to be about realism. Maybe the game should honor the heroes of our past who let us live these lives we have today by making barbed wire more realistic. Our grandparents passed through barbed wire to kill the Nazis and fight for our freedom, and what do we do?? Make barbed wire impenetrable walls?? If the world was this way with impassable barbed wire and no easy way to cut it, bend it, or just walk through it the Nazis would still be in power. This is when it all came together for me. Rocket is a closet Neo-Nazi fascist. He wants this mod to be what the Nazis wanted the world to be.. Think about it. Impassable barbed wire. Imagine the consequences to the planet if the world was this way. If you aren't convinced yet take a look at this. Dayz is a "social experiment" up to Rocket. Nazi stands for National Socialism. You see, Rocket is a socialist, hence the "social experiment". Now he just needs a nation to have these experiments take place. Chernarus is his nation. You might say "hmm that's a small nation, just 225km ^2". Yes but with the amount of servers Rocket could have UNLIMITED land and UNLIMITED POWER. People of Chernarus we have to come together and rise up. Tell Rocket that we won't accept his Fourth Reich with all sorts of absurd things like impenetrable barbed wire and bikes that are faster than vehicles. Just like the germans were blind to the fact that Hitler was evil, we are blind to the fact that Rocket is evil. The Fourth Reich is imminent people and we're letting it happen because of impenetrable barbed wire. This is a realism mod. Do you want the Fourth Reich to be real?

How many vehicles did you have parked near your camp?

This is pretty much void as performance is also server dependant. My PC isn't great, about 3-4 years old except the graphics card which is about 1-2 years old, and on a server that has just been restarted, I get 30-50 frames with everything on lowest/ off. On a busy server, thats been running for a long time, littered with dead bodies, zombies, loot, vehicles and tents, I can get FPS as low as 10-20 in certain areas.

Someone teleported all around my server marking EVERY camp today... It's kind of funny except for the fact that mine and our other group have all the vehicles (And use them). It's happened EVERY day this month as well, it's one annoying game to play right now...

Actually, to build on that i was pondering the idea of a skill system. Naturally the more you do something, the better you *should* become at it. If you spend a lot of time repairing vehicles, your skill would improve, and you would need less materials to repair a vehicle. Same applies with field medic, rifleman etc. A percentage of skill points could be lost on player death, for added bumfuckery.

To answer your question, you can get sick from more than just cold, you can get it from zombies, or other players that are sick. You most likely got it from a Zed if it wasnt raining. If you are infected (coughing) the only cure is anti-biotics, if you dont care about stats its much easier/faster to put up a tent, store your gear and go suicide then get back to your gear ;) I've seen some people say you can cure an infection with heat from a fire, but I think they were confusing it with a cold, according to the wiki. Infection Symptoms Character will cough and splutter, losing 3 blood every second. An infected player loses blood continuously with the rate of blood-loss slowing down once they reach 6,000 blood. Causes Causes of Infection: Random chance when Temperature drops below 36. Spending time near players who are already sick. Very small chance of getting it from zombie bite. Treatment Treatment for Infection: Using Antibiotics will cure the infection, however they spawn rarely. [edit] Cold Symptoms Character will shake from coldness, but not as shaky as Pain. Causes Causes of Cold: Temperature below 33 Treatment Treatments for a Cold: A Fireplace made using a Box of Matches and a Wood Pile. Running/sprinting will prevent your temperature from dropping further. It will also warm you up quicker than walking, as long as you are not in rain/water. Consuming a Heat Pack. Shelter must be found inside Buildings or Vehicles. Either one will work - you do not have to do all to relieve your cold.

Vehicles are server-specific. Although I must admit I'm ignorant on the ways of hackers/scripters/etc so I can't speak on a none legitimate reason for it to disappear. Shit disappears all the time in game though, probably a glitch/bug.

nope. vehicles are bound to the server they spawn on :)

I think someone is hoarding vehicles in the SG #00. Can't find any at all spawn locations. I wonder where they're saving the vehicles... :(

There was a thread around here about a bug with new servers over a certain range taking up to 3 days to spawn vehicles. Do a search and it should come up. my clan has a server with defcon and haven't had any problems at all with it. I read the threads about them before buying and from what I read it was a tech who went nuts and was later fired over it. Thats good enough for me and besides like the OP said EVERY host has problems so you roll the dice. At least with defcon we didn't wait 2 days for the server. my server was up in 1 1/2 hours and runs perfect. I've put in tickets with support too and they were very nice and helpful so for me it was a good decision.

So far pretty much everything in this thread is from me. I don't necessarily claim to be the first person to come up with these ideas but I've reeled all of them off the top of my head. Nothing has been copied from another suggestion thread. So far I've changed the vehicles section in response to feedback as I was getting a bit carried away. Wtfosaurus also mentioned a generator which has been put in, although rocket had already mentioned this in an interview. It's not built for open world I'm afraid. And it also costs $1.2 million to license for commercial use.

I just got two servers, vehicles arent up on either. When i looked it up all i found was some people saying it takes up to 3 days to spawn on the higher server ID's

useually straight away . put a tent down make sure its there on a restart. vehicles should be there sometimes on boot or a restart no tents or vehicles will be there at all

you sir, need to understand that several hard resarts may bring things back as far as an hour. i know this for a fact because we blew up their 3 vehicles, we log back on the server and in their base is those 3 vehicles sitting there

it would be nice if vehicles despawned after someone having it for a week, otherwise people horde them in their forest wonderlands for eternity.
