and by that i mean lower their ping kick so that no one can play on the server at all just so no one can loot their camp? because right now no one can play on this server that the admins have had their base looted a few times... just wonderin

Hi there, I'm new here I searched for 'vehicle' in the forums and scanned all for possible 'same suggestions'. Didn't find one. So everyone knows, you don't find vehicles just on your way when strolling from one village to another. Thats because some guys are already hoarding them at a/mulitiple specific location(s). My suggestion: 1. restrict the vehicle save to 1 vehicle per person (on the masterserver not just on the gameserver). (PLUS one helicopter) 2. don't allow saving vehicles to close to each other. minimum distance of x meters. (gameserver) 3. if two vehicles are saved next to each other, remove one of them (random pick) and respawn it at their original spawn location. 4. (I AM AGAINST THIS:) display a message, that you can't save a vehicle 'on this location' because it's to close to another one (against it because: obviously when you try to save a vehicle unknowingly in the radius of the other vehicle, you'll be notified that there is another vehicle in a radius of x meters and could be exploited) 5. display a message, that you're about to save new vehicle and that the previous one will be RESPAWNED instantly. (not sure, if you can display a message, before actually doing something) 5.1. [i don't know how the saving of vehicles works, when exactly it is cancled (if someone drives it? if someone take a seat in it?)] 5.2. do always show the message, even if the previous vehicle was 'stolen' (the point: the person saving a vehicle doesn't know that his other vehicle was taken.) 6. add a chance of 0.01% to 0.1%, that a random vehicle type spawns at a random vehicle-spawn-location without the original one disappearing, chance of a vehicle spawning: every 3, 6, 12 or 24 hours. with a limit 7. asset stripping of burnt out car wrecks/crashed helicopters: add a very rare tool to strip assets just like 'gut animal' he starts 'digging' for parts. one out of 100 cars should have a functioning wheel or something. 8. add a very rare tool to FLIP vehicles. 9. ability to shoot out of vehicles (not the driver tho). 10. ability to get branches in forests with the hunting knife/hatchet. 11. ability to 'hide' your vehicle with branches. (a bus should need obvously more branches than a motorcycle) 11.0. at this point i'd like to suggest the ability to hide tents with branches. 11.1. the 'hidden' vehicles are still visible but only if you're in a specific radius of it. 12. we need a *CANDY* van type of vehicle. lol The point of this suggestion is, there may be people out there not beeing able to play dayZ for 4 hours per day and they never have/will seen/see a drivable vehicle. Also this makes the person finding vehicles to choose between them for the better one. (changes with the purpose/playing style). With the chance that there are more than the finite ammount of vehicles, you have also a higher chance of finding a vehicle. Players need to group up to save multiple vehicles and they need more teamwork to hoard them. The possibility of random spawning vehicles every 3, 6, 12 or 24 hours would attract 'new' players to 'old' servers. IF there are suggestions already suggested or even already ingame, I'd not know because I never had more than ONE vehicle at the time and never saw multiple vehicles in one location. Feel free to discuss. n69 out.

I have 3 vehicles and 1 to be repaired, what should I do with them though? Look for crash sites? Loot & Run? Just roaming? I have nothing to do in End-Game anymore... :(

Quick question: if I have a vehicle in one server and then log out/log into a different server, will my vehicle be in the new server?

Instead of looking for my Offroad Pickup Truck for another 30 minutes I need to know if it got reset or stolen. What happened: So I parked my Truck in a spot in a forest then saved it. About an hour later I get in it and drive close to Povereka. Then the server admin states on Global Chat that this server going to update or whatever. I already hid my truck a bit and started to run back to save it but was too far away and the server got updated. So After a long ass run to where it was previously saved I can't really find it anywhere. Although the area where I hid it is pretty big. So now I need to know, is my vehicle gone for good and reset somewhere, or did someone steal it, or am I just not finding it? Server is US 607 Quick Edit, As I was running back the server DID restart once.

So me and a few guys i play with were playing on nz20 the other night and we had been paying for a period of about 4 or 5 hours in electro pvping, which includes dying and we all waiting for our mate to get back to his gear. Anyway we finally all get our gear back and decide to go to cherno, on our way we get ambushed by 3 guys with silenced m4s and we got smashed, dead before we knew what happened. So i decide to see where i spawn if it is in a good position i would play for a bit longer, i ended up spawning about 400 meters from where we were killed. I crept up too where our group was killed to find out how we all died. As I prone towards the area 2 UAZ's pull up next to me, then 2 guys in ghillie suits got out and told me to pvp with them and they gave me a silenced m4 from 1 of their UAZ's. They then told me to loot one of mates bodies so i obliged thinking i can just get it back to my mate later. As i was looting him a 3rd guy in ghillie suit drives up in a bus. I get told to get in the bus and we drive away. I took this opportunity to alt tab and open my fraps and this is the rest of the night. (this is where all the hacking took place and our realisation of it by the things we find and see. (also a couple of dayz earlier i saw a big cloud of smoke above cherno i went to investigate and it was the remains of a crashed a-10. I forgot to mention while we were in electro the same night as these events there were 3 small boats,1 pbx and an ammo crate in between the 2 fire stations in the field.) Link to Vid of night - Unfortunately i don't know the names of the hackers, but i believe one of the guys in ghillies had the name GTE-noscope.

I have been trying to find a vehicle for a while now and the only I did find disappeared from a server restart. I have checked like 8 different spots on the dayzdb map and some of the spots I checked on a couple different servers. None of the servers had vehicles in any spawns and even one of the servers was a brand new server and all 6 spots I checked had nothing. How do vehicles work in this game? Do they just spawn at their spots on the dayzdb map and stay there till a player takes them? Do they respawn? Finally, If I really want to get a vehicle and have all the parts needed where is a definite spot I could go to in order to find one?

Hello everyone, me and my friends all play on US84, and last night some hackers joined the server and caused some mayhem. Around this time, me and my friends were kicked from the server (due to the whole ARMA 2 OA patch downloading on steam.) Anyway, we tried to get back on awhile later but the server was down for some hours. Just afew minutes ago I finally logged on at our "base of operations" and our tents (which I placed) are missing, aswell as our cars and bicycles. Is this normal to happen, or did the hackers have something to do with it? I tried to do a search but couldn't really come up with anything solid. Thanks.

Yea, simple as the topic. Especially ATVs, as thoose vehicles are the only i´ve fucked up with and landed on the side. Its extremly annoying to find a ATV, just to run over a small stone and fly all the way to pluto, and then crash land back on earth, and land on the side. Another senario that happened to me today, is when you run over a bridge you will repeat your journey to pluto. Landed on the side this time too. Currently the only way to get the ATV back on its wheels is: 1. Do some wierd stuff with the throttle and turn. Never succeded with this, saw it on youtube. 2. Crash into it with another vehicle. Sorry for my bad english, hopefully you´ll be able to understand tough :)

So I have a vehicle and before I get on it there's an option to "save vehicle." I don't know what that does, although I've heard people say that this lets you cross the vehicle over to different servers. Is this true?

DayZ UK 118 (v1.7.2.3Beta 95248) Regular........ A10 on NW Airfield + some more Hacked Vehicles. The hacker shoots on me and i escaped with a Hacked Motocycle, i hope this short use to escape with the motocycle was ok 15:20 German Time Groupe Greathing Kuchenmafia

Okay I'm just wondering if we as a group have anyone with vehicles on hand for supply runs or stop off areas that are held for medics that have supplies ? Just wondering if not then i was thinking of getting a few people together to locate and secure some forms of transport.

Q: So this post is to see what your first vehicle find was, and maybe even where? A: My first vehicle I'd found today was a green bicycle. It was pretty far up North sitting right beside a fence surrounding a red tower. The tower was like an electrical tower, but I'd say smaller. Not sure what they're called but I think this tower was the type that gives you phone service. I think the more exact location would be North East. ( Link In Photo ~ Wiki )

So I've been playing DayZ for about a week now and I have yet to see any vehicles whatsoever. At first I was just trying to get a damn bicycle, but now I check every vehicle spawn to see if there is anything at all. I haven't seen a heli crash site yet either :( Am I the only one? Do vehicle spawns have anything to do with stuff server side?

Be wary if you kill any people wearing ghillie suits and driving around dirtbikes. I killed one and took a bike and got about 2KM away from Elecktro and was teleported right in front of the ghillie guys, and shot down.

7/23/12 At 11:30 EST, Me and two buddies drove north and someone named "andrew" spawned right next to our car and stole it. He was invincible (3 full clips of M4A1) did nothing. He then spawned a helicopter and proceeded to shoot us. He then kicked me and friend out of game (we know the admin personally who was not online). His alias was "andrew". I am unsure of exactly went on after but the server was emptied. Earlier that day, there was mass teleporting to one location and everyone died. I believe the same thing happened again. (server went from full 40/40 to 11/40 in 10 minutes).

Mine is gone, and other people on the server are complaining that theirs are gone, and this all happened right after the 95248 patch. Coincidence?

I recently rented a dayz server (US1108) and no vehicles are spawning? Why is that happening?

First of all I will start with my opinion on Zombies. We have 3 kinds of zombies at the moment: 1. Usain Bolt 2. Crouching 3. Crawling As the Infection only killed most part of the brain leaving primitive hunting and movement patterns with the brainstem, we don't know how it affects the rest of the body. They could have tumors all over their body which makes them more bulletproof than others. Others just produce hormones of muscle growth or grow in size (growing in size is possible today with an abuse of medicine due to ). Im not talking about "Boss" Zeds which give extraordinary loot, but be a tougher challenge for player than Zombies are at the moment - just to get clear: no loot from these, just challenge. A change of the zombie spawn system would be necessary here, every time a zed is spawned a dice is rolled e.g. and if you don't think there is any infect-related modification of the body i still would bring in, that people in Chernarus don't look all the same, some of them go to the gym, some do endurance sports, and others just love to eat or get tougher by "a bullet a day keeps the doctor away" <= 200 it spawned a slow & easy killable zombie > 200 <= 400 it spawned Usain Bolt > 400 <= 600 it spawned Mike Tyson > 600 <= 800 it spawned Manuel Uribe (tough and bulletproof) > 800 <= 1000 it spawned something which has a little bit of all of the above numbers are just used as display value and have to be tweaked Loot.. this brings me to another point. Military Zombies, why are they just as easy to kill as civilian Zombies? They wear bulletproof vests and helmets, so why is it so easy to kill them. They should take WAY more shots to the chest and 2 headshots from far but still one from near. But wait - thats not all, soldiers also wear military goods, in fact they tend to drop ammunition, but they also could drop grenades - that would be far to boring, somehow the grenades explode (which not also can kill, but also alarm even more zombies to the current location). Also military personnel is better trained then a usual civilian, they tend to be stronger, faster, tougher. So military zombies should be stronger or MUCH stronger than usual civilian zombies. This would also prevent early survivors to go to military zones and stick to rural areas, as military zombies would them kill easy. // I know this would make elektro and cherno even worse for new players as even more snipers would be here to camp the firehouses. But new spawned players should think twice if it's worth to get shot by a sniper or stick to the smaller cities and lock here for loot. Even if the grenade stuff sounds way too off, military Zombies should be tougher than usual Zombies. Another thing i would like to see (which already was mentioned so i give it only a short cut) are deadlier forrests. Infected animals and wolves or bears would do this job. Also I don't get why boars stand still when I come near them, as far as I know they would either run away or attack me. While wolves and bears would provide meat, infected animals would be uneatable so I would prefer them over normal animals. Another thing I was wondering: we are in Chernarus, a state of the former ost bloc, why the heck are there so many US weapons? We need more russian weapons in the game! I looked up the armory of arma, what i counted is: 16 different variations of AKs KSVK Sniper rifle unused in DayZ RPK unused in DayZ 4 different variations of SA58 VSS Vintorez for our stealthy snipers PKM & PKP SA 61 Why do we need so many US weapons in DayZ personally it's destroying the feeling for me, there should be only a few US weapons in the game and they can be gathered from the heli crash sites. Almost every of the M4/M16 can be substituted with an eastern rifle. And russian RPGs! I'd love to see them (why? read on). I would also love to see a bigger pool of weapons i could choose from, not only russian but also from the crash sites. While we are at this, I would also suggest sunken ships at the coast, which provide western weapons (not underwater but stranded). This would make players not only be at Stary/NW but also at the (eastern only?) coast. New players could walk along the beach to get loot, but also risk to get killed by Raiders. Another thing i would like to point out is vehicles. It's always vehicles. There are so many dead cars standing around, why can't I repair one of those? Why can't i completely repair them with a toolbox and stuff? e.g. on a normal car gather 4 wheels (You know, cars have 4 wheels) gather 10 engine parts (the engine is completely destroyed and doesn't work anymore, but russian engines are easy to build!) gather 6 windscreens (driving with 60 mph while the wind is blowing your face isn't fun) gather 20 scrap metals to repair the hull (that shit looks like it would explode every second) some restrictions should have to be made, only cars which look not very highly developed and thus easy to repair. Although everyone could drive a car you would have to take an insane amount of time and work to get the car to work again. You would be an easy target for bandits while gathering the stuff and you would have to look ages to get the stuff together. Industrial areas would be more populated this way, like Berezino (showdown at the docks? hell yeah). Also rocket launchers would now server a purpose, kill those freaking cars of others. Thanks for reading and sorry for my english, I'm not native.

I've reassigned the map, all tents were deleted (as expected), vehicles were deleted (as expected) but now they're not respawning (as completely not expected). Checked about 5 respawn points where vehicles MUST BE on fresh map :) Any advices? :) Or may be support will help with this? I've created ticket on support.dayzmod.com 24+ hours ago but no still answer... (support ticket #995742).

Hello! Well i'm new at the game and forum, and i have some doubts about vehicles... lets start! first, i'm sorry if someone already posted the same, i tryed to use the search but no topics poped out with those doubts.... well...i found 2 vehicles with my friends, an atv and a bus, we found a place very far from any city, almost in the wilderness and we left our vehicles there after saving then. when i logged today they are gone... my doubt is: when the server restarts all the vehicles just disappear or someone just stole it from us?! how often the vehicles respawn?! everyday? every week? do all servers have vehicles or the admins have the choice to put then in or out of the server when they are creating a new game? thanks for the patience and plz answer that, because if the vehicles just disappear when the servers restarts i don't see why i just keep searching then, since they are very hard to find, was the first vehicles i got since i started playing, over 2 weeks or 3 ago! thanks again !!! cya!

Hi I find a working vehicle and I just wanted to know if I will keep it if I change server? ty

Look at that video, a Chinook, a CHINOOK chopper. I would LOVE to have them in dayz. And armored vehicles too. If zombies can hit you in vehicles, they should at least included these ones. I am so excited by this video, I wish I could see this in game so bad. But I'm sure, there are a ton of side effects that we would have to deal with if these were put in. I think at least the Chinook should be though, to make there more than one chopper, if they put them back in.

I cant enter 2 vehicles at my camp, they were parked somewhat close to some trees and my Ural seems to have the tree sticking out of the back in the middle and my ATV is kind of close to a tree. The enter menu comes up but when I try to get in the vehicle my character will act like he is but then bounce me right back out. Is this a known issue or my vehicles forever stuck in trees and now some sort giant tent?
