for one buddy, we didnt have 5/6 vehicles ...and if you found 5/6 vehicles then youve obviously been at the wrong camp....

Been playing this game for about a month now, just decided to register on forums today. So far here's a few suggestions I've come up with it so feel free to agree/flame/ ect. 1) Better tent system - Make it a possibility to setup tents on rooftops and slanted ground. Not like.. 90 degree slanted ground mind you, but maybe use wood piles as stilts or something to be able to prop the tent up? 2) Fences/Tank traps, ect - Could rocket find a way to make these items (and tents) stop falling through the floor if we try and set them up on a rooftop or second floor? I think it'd be neat to make a small "camp" on top of a hospital or something lol. Yes it's open to snipers blah dee blah but that's the point - RISK. 3) More vehicles - In the month I've been playing, i've only come across two bikes and seen ONE vehicle driving around. For a post apocalyptic world, and with all these destroyed cars around... the running ones are few and far between. Make it a possibility to repair ANY vehicle you find, BUT the ones that are severely damaged take substantially more parts to repair. 4) Some way to give yourself a blood transfusion. If I've learned anything on dayz so far.... you cannot trust ANYONE. 5) More enterable buildings // barricade system - What I mean by this is say.... you find an apartment building. You want to live/camp there. You need to find x amount of w/e parts/wood/ ect to craft a door/barricade so only you can get in (i.e. u have a key) but make the door destructable after x damage, or implement a lock picking system so other players/bandits can eventually get in. 6) Player constructed deer stands? - they would be noticeably different fromt the stands where deer spawn, possibly taller and more noticeable 7) Add a "clothing" store in each town - it's enterable, and all of it's spawns are specific clothing items/ masks/ ect that are unique to each town. Cooler items will be rarer, but say a hoodie with the hood pulled up would be far more common. 8) Booby traps? - (I.E. - Tripwire, mines, ect) if you see them and have a toolbox/hunting knife, odds are you can disarm them. Very hard to find materials to make them, do little damage but are loud so they attract zombies and knock you down for a few seconds if you trigger them. 9) ADD A SHOPPING MALL - every good zombie movie has one! And why not!? I mean... maybe put one in the center of the map...or on GREEN MOUNTAIN? O.o Good loot, would have a little bit of everything, but that's the point. It would be a massive bandit/survivor magnet on top of the NUMEROUS zombies that wander around both inside and out. 10) Grappling hooks? - they spawn in military areas, i'd say a 40 percent chance or so. You can climb to the top of any building with them. Once the rope is setup you climb up/down the rope like ladder and can pull the hook off uptop and put it back in your bags. So essentially , u climb up somewhere, and you can't be followed unless they have a hook as well, or you're dumb enough to leave yours on the side of the building. - Here's the kicker - because it's a ROPE... if a sniper were to say.... shoot the rope while someone was climbing up a building... said person goes splat 5 stories below.

which gun the L85? and if so no actually I found a tent city : ) had 3 vehicles and other goodies

To begin with, I do not support the removal of weapons before their is a disconnect fix. This is the biggest issue and why people turn to using guns like the M107 or AS50. I much rather use the M24 or SVD but the other person d/c right after they have been shot. Secondly, .50 cals are needed to shoot down helicopters or disable vehicles. This is the only thing I would want to use it for. If you want all snipers to be 2 shot kills, then you would have to c ounter balance this by removing the fal and certain lmgs. People just need to accept that certain guns do certain insane amounts of damage. If y ou are w ith a group with people and there is no d/cing, you should be able to pinpoint that sniper and take him out before he kills too many of you.

Pretty much. it's much worse on server's with super geared clans that are duplicating everything. but why even bother hoarding the spawns if you're duplicating everything in tents/vehicles anyway?

Would love to see the map filled with vehicles but fuel being so rare that driving one almost never happens. Good suggestion OP.

Clearly this whole hacking thing has been way overplayed… even though I met two hacking clans, watched my friend die to an invisible DMR guy, found hacked vehicles, logged into a server that had been completely flattened, been massmurdered, found a partially constructed thunderdome, and had my vehicles at several different camps satchel charged… all this week. I'm sure that's all just my imagination. You've clearly proven that there aren't any hackers because you played on one server for a whole hour.

Would definitely like to see vehicles being used regularly instead of hoarded, and this would be a great way of achieving it. The most exciting firefights I've been in involved vehicles, and it's a shame players don't often tend to come across them without the tedious work of scouring the map for camps. If this involved the ability to siphon fuel, I could certainly see groups being confronted with some interesting decisions to make when caught up in combat with a fuelled vehicle nearby. Providing cover for a squad mate while they recover your precious fuel would be fun. Also should be good for providing additional important locations on the map beyond the usual player hotspots. Removing persistent storage from vehicles (or at least drastically reducing it) would also go a long way towards removing the incentive to hide them, as well as introducing more difficult decisions on how to make use of backpack space. More food, more ammo, or more fuel?

Dont post new servers. Completely RUINS the server. Now watch some clan make it their home and hoard a lot of vehicles.

OP first off all see me as nutrale sinds i dont know either off you guys. I am also hunting camps for my guild to raid empty. I have found 8 diffrent camps on diffrent servers and iff i just look at your poss Jrock attached then i have no other conclusion that you arnt realy original. I have found 6 out off 8 around that area.... and btw he say they looked for 2 hours and in those hours it is possible to search that whole area especialy with vehicles in that camp... Tips = dont place your camp were 75% off the people place there camps. ( just beeing stupid.) Dont place your vehicles and stuff on the same location. (makes it a easy to spot camp) Get people to protect the base at all times (snipers are key.) Chooce a place were a person would have to cross open field to get to you, there are plenty off those spots in the game were there is a mounten with tree's but the surrounding is empty. (perfect place to protect. and normal player dont go up there because they will stay in the tree lines to avoid getting shot.) For the Hunters that cant find bases on german servers look at places i just discribed sinds those germans arnt that stupid xD. i was looking for about 16 hours on a german server and finaly found it north off cherno in a mounten i discribed.

Hey guys, I have been playing DayZ for about 3 weeks or so now and I have been enjoying it quite a lot, although I have never really had a successful life. Basically, this is my story about what happened to me today as I lost my best life yet (by a very long stretch) to what I believe was a hacker; I will post details and maybe you might know more about this than me, so you could help me out by putting closure on that life. So, after having travelled up the map with my two friends, and visiting NWAF, we were pretty kitted out with and L85, M240, M4A1, NVGs stuff like that. Then, we decided to set up a camp on top of a hill overlooking the Podeba (I think) dam in the far North of the map. It seemed safe as from the dam you couldn't see our campfire and it was forested over. We had a few tents and then we began to find vehicles, we had in the end 3, which, considering as I have never found one before was quite cool. Moving on to the last couple of hours. We all spawned in and met up at camp, after having been out collecting supplies in our truck. We parked up in the forest and saved all the vehicles, then proceeded to sort out our tents and that, getting ready for our next 'outing'. We were there for about 20 minutes, we filled up bottles at the dam and had some food, then all of a sudden our vehicles disappeared. About 20 seconds later, as two of us went out to investigate, I think some sort of turret appeared and mowed us down. My other friend D/C'd and survived but surely that is not legit? It was nighttime so maybe I am wrong but it sounded kind of like an AS50 but automatic.. Needless to say I was pissed; What I think is a hacker T/P'd to me only to kill me, he doesn't want my stuff just wants to piss me off. He succeeded! I took the respawn and changed servers, I felt as if the original (De 695) was 'tainted'. I was near Elektro and I went in towards the church. There was a bus near the church in poor condition but a dead player nearby had a wheel which I took and attached to the bus, so it could move. I took it to the Elektro Industrial Park near the coast and fixed it up, but in the process I was shot, which broke my leg and made me pass out. I was unarmed so I guess he wanted my bus. However he never came to my body or finished me off so when I woke up with about 118 blood in crawled into the bus and took off towards Cherno where my friend was. On the way, my friend told me over skype that he had been sniped; tbh I was getting tired of this random banditry and felt like leaving it. Then, as I continued along the road, a guy with a Makarov ran past and said he was friendly. He could have just shot me for my bus but he agreed to help me by giving me blood and morphine. So we went to the north Hospital in Cherno and he fixed me up, I offered him my bus to thank him but he turned it down. This restored my faith a bit in the DayZ community, because that guy could so easily have ended my life and took my full condition bus off with him for his needs. Now my character is in the Cherno Apartments, I hope this life can go better than my last. tl;dr - Got killed by a hacker on a good life, found a bus in elektro nearly died (118 blood) met a friendly on road to Cherno who fixed me up without killing me for my bus. Faith restored.

Faith almost restored.

holy crap, haven't found the vehicles I looked for, but someone just flew over my head @ Dubina mountain.... Scared the crap out of my 2k health ass

Battleye is useless. It's stupid that they even require it. If people are going to hack and not be either kicked or banned, what the fuck is point in having an anti-cheat? And yesss, you're so right... My group has been chasing vehicles for the past 3 days. We'll get the vehicles, hackers will take them, we'll get them again, hackers will take them again. It's ridiculous honestly... I wish a legitimate player would fuck my group up and take the vehicles instead of some pussy script kiddy porting them across the map. Stop sucking dick. The only reason you'd state an opinion like that is you just started playing, you're a script kiddie yourself, or you're just wanting to disagree with someone.

Don't mean to flame the threads here but I'm so fucking done with every server we (4 other friends) try to put a camp on no matter what server we get we always seem to get a god damn script kiddy that abuses the game. Battleye's a crappy anti-cheat engine might as well not have Battleye on the servers at this point. My friends killed or well you could say tried to kill a guy on US 317 which he should of he put a good 2 clips of NATO rounds into this guys chopper and it never went down including shooting the guy flying it. Then I was teleported to it and died in the water along with everyone else....it's pathetic. Battleye needs to go and I say we start a rebellion against it for a new far better anti cheat engine. I have full respect for dayz and the members who made it but this crap needs to go. I'll be honest with you all I've thought about using hacks but I'd never use them on players if anything I'd just spawn weapons, vehicles and clothing that isent in the game but never would I screw people over like god mode or spawning people all in one location. I don't want to get banned and I don't quite know how scripting works so like I'd ever do that anyways.

OK the scripts.logs is empty of anything usefull, looks like they had bypass working. We'll have the exploit fixed though and updated all the ban/script lists =p Sadly the usualy bypass and map hacks will still be active so there is no point us telling you all to move your camps, we'll just have to put up with it for now sadly. We found 3 Tanks at the airfield and are trying to figure out how the hell we can get rid of these.....no helicopter though =p I guess we'll keep our ears open for the update around sep for when they start giving us news on the stand alone that should be more secure and admin friendly. It's only a few months I recon until a "hive reset" anyway with a new stand alone release so we aren't getting too attached to kit and vehicles but we still want to try and keep our server reasonably stable for the regulars! Good luck vehicle hunting. Server is back up for now, still vunlerable as all servers are but it's a secure as it can be at least and we'll continue to act on reports of cheats asap.

My group has encountered multiple clans of hackers.One of us happened to be online when a group of hackers leveled our server, and they let him ride with them while they did so. They were talking as if pretty much everyone was a hacker. They were building a thunderdome when a few of them got banned from the hive. I ran across a small clan that I was going to offer a couple favorable trades to in order to be welcome to run with the group… until I realized they were hacking vehicles in, and magically knew where everyone's camp was. I've been massmurdered, teleported into the sky, shot through walls, killed by invisible teleporting hackers, and my vehicles have been satchel charged from helicopters. Hackers aren't rare at all.

Your Real Name: Darius Your Screen Name: Darius/Ultim Were Are You From:Illinois Your Age:14 How Long Have You Been Playing Arma: 2-3 months Did You Start Because Of DayZ: Yes Do You Have Any Recording Software: No Do You Have A Skype: Yes (FallenDG) Can You Be A Leader: Yes (If everyone can hear me, over the chaos ) How Regularly Do You Play Arma: I just updated so i plan to play 2-5 times a week ( if i am accepted) How Well You Work With A Team (1-10): 8 I have played with a friend before but not a group Why You Would Like To Join (4 sentences or more): I would like to join because when you are alone, your chances of survival are slim but in a group you can get vehicles and live longer than the estimated 30 to 60 mins.Without a group you cant give each other blood transfusions. In DayZ there are alot of bandits and bandits dont mess with groups. It is also fun to see how other people react in certain situations.

We don't ban anyone for having a non legit item only if we catch you spawning them =p The red car is legit, we have one, it's slow but a 4 seater =p The Offroad is awsome but only seats 2 :( Nothing we can do about the vehicles sadly as they are all hive synced. If cheaters locate them/move them there is nothing we can do about it :( That said we experimented with the CLI RESTART command to start the map afresh (all tents and vehicles despawn) and we did see new vehicles spawning. We then did a proper reboot of the server and the old vehicles/tents came back as did the extra vehicle we found but the next day the extra vehicle appeared to despawn so....not sure =p

cbb watching the video but, tents come back with everything they had in them the last time they were saved on server restart and vehicles respawn 100% fixed at the location they were destroyed. you cant ruin any tents by just destroying them. you have to take all the loot out, save the tent, then find a way to make the loot disappear.

Hold up there kids. I'm calling you out on hacking/cheating. Not insulting your mothers grave. As for you, JRock, connecting you to them was easy. Our offroad had disappeared, and was spotted driving through Stary- where Coby was dropped off mid-town (who met an end by our hands, mind you). We found the offroad later with your body next to it. We assumed then you were with them. We're not saying you're hacking in items/vehicles, however with the ease of which you repeatedly found us, I am accusing you of editing/removing files from your client to remove trees from your game, at the very least.

I agree very much. Right now surviving is just about remembering to eat and drink while looking for vehicles and camps with your group. Last three lives now I´ve managed to have high-end gear the same day I started the life. All my deaths excluding the re-spawn suiciding by gang rape were because I got a bullet in my head. Right now I have everything I need and I have no interest in going into cities or towns. In my opinion tents and vehicle storage should be removed until duping ends. My group raided a 10 plus tent camp that had ridiculous amount of very rare high-end weaponry and equipment. I mean there were around 8 Mk48 mod 0, 4 BAF AS50 antimaterial rifles, 4 M4A1 CCO SDs, 3 rangefinders, more ammunition to any weapon than I have used in my entire DayZ history and the list goes on and on... It is just ridiculous how easy it is to get the "rarest of rare" weapons. AS50s to me are just as plentifull as revolvers and M1911s. It´s a pity this game is so easy. At first I thought to myself that this is awesome. I had never played a game so exciting. But then I got the hang of it. Just ignore the zeds a get your loot. Right now the zeds are not a threat in any given way. Loosing them is very easy when you know the tricks. This game has to be made more challenging and surviving oriented or I´ll lose interest. More surviving, less just looting.

They should be back on another restart I've noticed sometimes upon server restarts vehicles aren't spawned at all till a restart..

Wiki has 2 other confirmed spawns but i dont believe it http://www.dayzwiki.com/wiki/Vehicles

So our clan found a truck a while back and managed to get it back to our base. We had to repair it quite extensively before it was drivable. Yesterday, the truck was stolen from our base by a small group of enemies whilst only a few of us were online. We chased the truck as far as we could on foot and one of our members managed to find it whilst on a bicycle and shadow it for kilometers whilst other people got into position. Eventually they stopped and whilst they weren't looking at the vehicle, he jumped in and drove off as quick as possible with the enemies in persuit, whilst a few of our people got into position to ambush them. The truck got its tires shot out before they could be lured into the ambush, and after an exchange of fire the enemies ALT+F4'd to try and survive. With the tires out, the truck wasn't going anywhere. Whilst this was happening, I stumbled across an operable bus while persuing the truck on foot. I waited for two of my clan mates to catch and we drove the bus back to base. A group then set out to try and find enough tires to repair the truck and get it back on the road. After serveral hours of searching, the group finally managed to get enough tires back to the truck to repair it, and we had a fully operable truck and bus ready to head back to base. Then the server restart message came up, saying the server would restart in 10 minutes. We saved both the bus and the truck, and then kept overwatch on the vehicles until the server shut down. When the server restarted, both the bus and the truck were gone. We traced the exact route the truck and bus had taken thinking it might've been spawned somewhere else on server up, but could find neither bus or truck after several hours of searching. All I can really say is that this majorly blows. The time my clan spent chasing the truck, the fighting to get it back, the time spent searching for tires, and the time spent driving down in the bus to give support were all wasted. Every minute of it. Now we are down a bus and a truck, and several manhours of work. I hope this kind of thing is fixed very soon.
