This, 7 days seems way to long, people should be actively using the vehicles they collect, 3 or 4 tops would be much more reasonable.

You might not be a bad admin, but many will. There are already countless of reports of admins abusing rights to hoard vehicles, or prevent losing them. Rocket said, and i saw that interview days ago. That its something he would look into(this does not mean its allowed, nor that it will happen) and he said it might help with the hacking, it certainly will, but i already stated the major issues it would cause instead. It will not help the situation.

oh yeah i know servers bug out sometimes that they don't spawn vehicles properly, this isn't the case though.

The point he is trying to make, is that with private servers admins can ban who they want, set the settings how they want. And again, that will result in a completely broken system with no rules. Admins will lock servers and hoard vehicles Admins will lock server when vehicles are stolen Admins will kick and ban if they are killed etc etc. This will completely ruin the experience aswell.

This is so illogical to me. If it's not ban worthy to carry the gun it's essentially an invitation to hack because how are we to know if that individual was the one who brought the gun in. I think the policy needs to be reviewed. Server admins can't ban people without multiple forms of proof on a server they purchased, but a hacker can spawn in a million guns and vehicles without risk. Logic?

Ok so i just joined 2 different servers and the first one i get a message while checking my map you have been kicked! The second scumbag that kicked me was called kasei i cant remember what the server was called but he was the only NOOB on the server! If they are going to kick people when they are the only person on the game why rent a bloody server! i am spending more frigging time looking for a server i can play on maybe just explore the map or something..... Im going to name and shame every person that does this starting from now i will list server and player/admin name!!!!! If you see them in your servers kick them and when they post i got kicked for no reason we can all bash them and tell them to get back to there lonely server and keep whoring vehicles you damn numptys....

Like everyone has been saying, and like on many other threads: The vehicles are usually hidden in camps on the far outsides of the map. Usually north and west. I just stumbled across a server with a camp with far too many vehicles for them to enjoy them all. I actually do not understand why they need every vehicle on the server in their camp, why can't they just be happy with 3-4 vehicles and let other people have some.

So I've been playing this mod for a few weeks now (almost 3), and I have to say, its really good. The mechanics are solid, the gameplay is good, and the technical back-end is fairly solid. However, im quitting for one reason, and one reason only: The doors. They kill you. This is the fourth time its happened. I'll spend a few hours getting gear, playing for a few days - hey, I even found a truck this time - , and I'll get to NWAF. I'll head to the barracks to try and get some of that 'awesome' gear. I'll hit "open door", the door will open, it touches me, breaks my legs, starts making me bleeding, and then kills me, all within a second or two. I bug-reported this, and there's been no change. Yes, some people have said 'this is an Arma bug'. That's cool, but its not cool when dying to a door causes you to loose lots and lots of gear, with no way of getting it back. And im sure its easily fixable - just give the doors a no-clip property. The zombies already have this (somehow). I'm fine with vehicles breaking easily, im fine with people sniping - all of that is part of the game. I like how the game is hard, and how its got 'perma-death' for characters. It makes the game fun, exciting, and challenging. Its all cool. However, its not OK when you get killed by stuff that makes no sense. Getting killed by doors is insane. I'll come back when its fixed, or I might even play a bit every now and then with friends. However, I dont see the point of continuing when the most trivial stuff will kill me. /edit Some people will say "its an alpha" or "its a pre-alpha". That's cool. I've done some game design myself (google my username if you must), and I know what it's like to have crazy bugs in your stuff. However, people have been reporting this for a while. In addition, the latest 'bug-fixes' have been mostly non-critical. You SHOULD be working to get the general concept of the game working, before getting smaller aspects working (like having a DayZ loading screen or logo). So yea, when its fixed, I'll be back. /edit 2 To those who say "just be careful". That's cool. I have been, but we all make mistakes (or the game bugs). Im not whining about some mistake I made - like getting sniped, or owned by zombies. The fact is, thid SHOULD NOT happen. There is absolutely zero logic to being killed by doors - and this is my complaint.

You'll find various maps on the internet which has spawn locations of both vehicles and loot. This one here is a good one:http://dayzdb.com/map#5.034.049

guys let me please tell my story of this server, seeing this was posted on 2nd of august this actually was my ural that has been stolen (kept it away from main camp, ural is way too obvious). i couldn't be fucked getting it back, because i had enough other vehicles anyway. i basically had almost all the vehicles on that server, but not for long. my ural was stolen (that OP probably stole again from the people that stole it from me... stealception). i knew the ural would get stolen anyway because it's almost impossible to hide such a thing. i had 2 bicycles, 2 ATV's, s1203 van, bus, red GAZ, white pickup and a UAZ on the same server. my main camp was far away from where i lost the ural and it was probably the most hidden camp ever. all the coloured cars were seperated atleast 1000M away from eachother and my atv's & bicycles were so well hidden in a tree that i had to remember the tree i put them in. the UAZ was also really well hidden and not in eyesight from where my ATV's and bicycles were, but close anyway. one day i logged out from a succesful day of getting vehicle parts with my group. i log in 9 hours later and i notice that EVERY vehicle was gone, it wasn't even possible to even see the bicycles and they got stolen. i check the trees where my ATVs were in, gone. (yes trust me, we hid them VERY well. it was almost impossible to see them, unless you're walking next to it). i check a little bit further to check if my UAZ was there, gone. i then walked towards the spot where i hid the white pickup, gone. i check the blue van spot, gone. i then check the red GAZ spot with no hope left whatsoever, and that was also gone. it all happened over 9 hours and ALSO over night time. when i woke up the server was on 7 AM and when i went to bed the server was already starting to get night time. i am not whining about losing these vehicles because oh man i've lost count on how many got stolen/eaten. i just think something fishy is going on on that server. there was no way anyone could see a bicycle hidden inside a tree in night time. also, when i still had my ural. a hacker called "Enrico" came on the server and teleported next to my group in my camp. my friend paniced and starting shooting him, he had godmode on and just 1hit my friend with his AS50 thermal scope. a different friend and I were standing looking at him to what he just did. said hacker then sat next to the corpse and repaired & refueled ALL our vehicles. he then teleported to someone else. yes, i'm pretty sure that there is something fishy going on on that server. just defending OP, don't really care about what i experienced anymore.

Yeah I've played DayZ for months now and my encounters with vehicles are fewer, actual working vehicles even fewer. You think you're frustrated now? just wait.

I have come to the comclusion that some servers STILL don't have vehicles. Lack of server uniformity sucks with this mod.

im almost agree, dupes get fix, vehicles should just respawn after 3-5 days non use, or add more vehicles...more heli crashes coz cmon it takes sometimes 1-2 days to get .50 and just 1 sec to lose ur equip...and im one of those who likes more pvp than survive to zombies...thats my pov cheers

Technically you can. You can bind it so that vehicles use the controller. For everything else forget it. Your aim will be so impaired you won't last 5 minutes.

i agree with the more vehicles point

Listen I'm not a very good person for medical supplies but I do come across a lot of vehicle stuff on my travels. If I'm in game, Steam name is Argent_LeRoche, and any medic needs something for a vehicle, anything from tyres to Main rotary shafts, let me know and I'll tell you if I come across any. I'm a mostly UK server dweller but have no bones about hoping to you. I offer this because you guys do a bang up job and you actually need the vehicles.

In the end, it may make gameplay evolve quicker with tents duping; yet people camp loot spots to collect loot. Camp a chopper crash site for a while and you can get a truckload of top shelf loot at little risk, and you can do it faster than someone waiting for a tent to dupe. Yes it will be good when tents are fixed, but it is not hurting the game that bad. Hackers are a larger impact in gameplay in a negative way than duping tents. Also the groups that just collect multible vehicles, yet move or drive them very little, they dampen gameplay more than duping tents. I wish vehicles would respawn after 3 days of non use. I mean really, if a big group of players are not driving a vehicle in a 3 day time period. they do not need it in the first place. We need more vehicles moving around the map, we need more vehicle chases in the game. As well as the ability to mount guns on some, a way to take out a chasing chopper. I know many may see it different, this is just my 2 cents.

can anyone tell me where the cars are in dayz

only camp riders go there, unless you search for a camp, it's a no interest belt all around the map, both in and out the borders. i found some tents,never vehicles. but you can just change your weapon,if you have your backpack always full like mine is...maybe if you find a clan camp you find both vehicles and useful tools like gps or nvg..but in a large population server you can be lucky near berezino or near gas stations and meet some groups refilling jerrycans or raiding the hospital

I see a lot of issues but no solutions. So the hive is scrapped, how do you save your weapons, vehicles etc? I mean technically, in the engine? Explain or suggest it to me.

BIS didn't create a shitty system. What BIS created was an engine capable of rendering 220 square km full of detail (over 1 million 3d objects), animals, players, vehicles and shit load of other stuff behind the scenes. The challenge they face now is making the engine secure but keeping the openness that allowed this mod (and others) to exist in the first place. But fuck me right?

This thread is about what basically everyone is complaining about - hackers. What do you do? You can't have any vehicles... You can't have any tents, you can't run around in a group, you can't mind your own business. What the fuck do you do? If you have tents stashed around, a hacker is either going to find them and loot them or simply demolish them. If you have a vehicle (such as the Ural Civilian) you're either going to get tele-gibbed or a hacker is going to teleport to it, loot it and steal it while you're asleep. If you mind your own business and stay out of everyone's way, you're bound to end up getting killed by someone that's nuking the server and killing everyone. If you run in a group, you're an automatic target for cheaters. Had one teleport on top of us, spam smoke grenades and drop bombs on my group. It's beginning to get pointless... You play the game to survive, aquire gear and have a bit of fun. None of this is possible when these little script kiddies are downloading programs and killing people with them. Why the fuck would you kill someone with a cheat when you could just spawn your own shit and be on your way? The game is getting near to unplayable... The script kiddies have more control over the server than the owners, more control over the game than the developers, and more control over the players then themselves. Basically nothing is being done about this either... You read about some of these updates happening, but the point is that Arma2 is allowing these issues. There's nothing stopping the scripts from being executing, only the logging of those scripts. The 'game' is going to die before it even gets off the ground. I dunno... It's annoying and I guess i'm just blowing off steam.

Think what is happening on the server also factors into it, lots of big vehicles all on one server might slow and lag it out a bit causing the server to save your character's stats less regularly.

Yes. Every online game will be full of hackers. You've got to learn to enjoy the game. My squad just got teleported on top of after losing all of our vehicles. Went up north and found a UAZ. Was fixing up an ATV when a buddy spotted 3 people that basically teleported right into his sights and immediately started opening fire. People are weird dude... Why play the game with hacks? I hate the idea that DayZ will be on ArmA3 engine... My computer has no chance in hell playing that...

I love the North. It's full of tents and vehicles just waiting to be raided. Besides, you can get shot anywhere, North or South.
