I just came across all those vehicles while running from Zelenogorsk to NWAirfield. Must have been hard work to collect all those

me and my freinds worked on this server for 4 hours repairing a heuy we got it off the island and parked it in a safe location, left 1 man to sit and watch it, 20 minutes later he said he was being shot at, so aborted fast, went back in and found 4 vehicles there, in under 20 seconds, was shot on sight and died... he stayed in game to watch a 40 man server go down to 5 with kill after kill after kill...... our heli was stolen, today i went back.... i want a danm helicopter... thought id check in quick at the island at 1257 found a ATV at the heli spawn on the island.... took a picture... how the hell do u get the atv to the island? the only thing that comes to my mind is hacking/scripting spawn and tele points.... notice the atv top right corner, and the "i" menu showing server info.

Greedy server owners can't play fair. I found a servers camp the other day around the same location, they found out I located it. I noticed shortly the server was no longer displayed on the server list and was locked temporarliy. I came back on later and they relocated all of it. God forbid I lose a couple vehicles or my gear!

These are my ideas for dayz when it is its own game. - Different types of clothes/gear that reduce damage done to you from zombies mainly but also reduce maybe some or a little bullet damage Examples - football helmet and shoulderpads, bulletproof vest, other sports protective equipment, etc. The reason for the sports equipment is because in a real apocalypse there would be plenty of sports gear for survivors while military gear would be rarer. Each day in dayz should be shorter so that it doesnt take literally 3 months to grow food or a year to build a good base or something. I personally think a day should be 4 hours or maybe 6 (a day is an 24 hour day not just when sun is up) how long do u think days should be? Fortifications - Trenches - Palisades (a tree trunk wall) - Spider hole Zombies should be realistic. - Zombies run slower by 20% each half of a week that they don't eat (from humans or animals) so basically the zombies would become crawlers due to starvation after a couple weeks. - Zombies should be able to hit u while running but at reduced damage maybe 25% less? - Zombies run at a normal humans speed. (unless they are hungry as stated above) - Zombies are everywhere including forests. - Some zombies should roam around going long distances. - Some zombies stay at cities until cities food sources are depleted. - Zombies are attracted to eat animals just the same as with humans. - Zombies spawn from outside map boundaries and wander long distances at random. The ability to make bread from wheat crops or corn crops. - Start by finding seeds for wheat or corn and then growing it. - Turn the wheat into flour when grown by using a mill created out of wood. - Add water to flour and bake it by creating a wood fire oven by collecting stone to make the oven and then just add wood and light it with matches. - The reason it is a good addition is because u could store the flour u have made to be able to bake it whenever u want. The ability to farm for food. - Examples: corn takes 2 to 3 months to grow to the point of harvest, has to be watered often, can't be grown in cold temp. (winter) - Would be shorter than in real life. Either option A: 1 day equals 4 or 6 hours or B: simply reduce growth time or C: both A and B - With a 4 hour day there would be 6 days in 1 real day while growing corn would take 10 to 15 "game" days. Dehydration - Not drinking water causes vision to dim at first then unconsciousness. - Speed and endurance decreased gradually to max of 30%. - Shade slows dehydration. - More water required as physical activity increases. Weight of items decreases run speed and endurance. Survivors should be realistic and start as an "average" person. - Able to increase accuracy with weapons after shooting for a period of time. - Start with a person who has not shot guns at all or very little and therefore would be less accurate than it is currently in the game. - Able to decrease reload times of weapons by practicing. - Start with a person with average fitness. - Fitness can be increased by running and maybe finding weights as items in-game - Using weights for your arms would increase melee weapon damage. (after sleeping) - Running for 10 minutes increases run speed and endurance slightly each time. (after sleeping) - After running for too long or using weights u have to sleep to receive the benefits. - After running a while or working out run speed and melee damage is lowered until you sleep. - Sleeping somewhere comfortable decreases time needed to sleep. (tents, beds) - Eating food after the work out or run is also required to receive benefits. (only one meal) Food - More variety of food with different stats. - Food with more carbs give more energy and so increase speed and endurance. - Food with protein gives you more of a benefit after working out/ running. - Food should replenish a small amount of water. (some foods replenish more water) - Not eating enough protein causes muscles to degenerate slowly and make u run slower and hit with melee for less. - More food required as physical activity increases. Clothing and accessories should be added - ear plugs - ear muffs - gas masks - warm clothing (usually heavier) - light clothing for running fast - shoes: light shoes, heavy durable boots, cleats - ghillie suits and camouflaged clothing (reduces your visibility to zombies) - Bulletproof vests - Ballistic shields - battering ram - Pistol holsters - Gun slings - balaclavas - riot shields - Ballistic face masks Non-lethal weapons - Pepper spray -Tasers - Tear gas - Flash bang grenades - Paintball markers loaded with pepper spray - Stinger grenades - Handcuffs - Flare guns Fireworks could be added for people to shoot at zombies and humans or to use for long range signaling or just for fun. (would attract zombies similar to gunshot) Lethal weapons - Guns should have a small chance to jam. - Jam chances increase the more shots are fired. - Cleaning your gun reverts the jam chance back to minimum. - Some guns have less of a chance to jam. Vehicles - Trains could be added to give players a way to move items/food in large quantities. - Would have 1 repairable train per server. - Railroad tracks to be placed by players. Please tell me what you think of the ideas and if u have something to add.

So, I had an idea the other day that was fucking goofy, but I think it has merit. I haven't played in a server yet where the vehicles weren't hoarded in one godforsaken corner or another, and looking for them seems totally pointless unless you intend to invest a lot of time on a server. So my idea was to add a lootable bike kit to the game, find them in Residential or Industrial High values and right click use generates a bike. If you limited it to one spawn per player you would at most be adding 50 objects to the game, and it would solve the critical lack of transportation. You could balance this any way you wanted, either by make it a rare spawn on par with GPS's or similar top tier equipment, or if you want to be almost gamebreaking, allowing fresh spawns to have one in their immediate inventory.

Don't be fooled by my name. It's simply the name I've had since last year. I used to be a forum regular at the Battlefield Heroes forum, around 6000 posts there. This server is owned by the Omega 6 clan. I have been a member there for 4 days, and I can pretty much say: Their base is easy to raid. The vehicles are fully repaired and filled with weapons. The members are fully geared and are easy to kill with even a makarov PM Well, this is because of the owner of the clan: Legendary Fox. He uses hacks to break down heli rotors, teleport to vehicles, locate survivors' locations, spawn weapons and vehicles and when his vehicles go boom... He will just restart the server so they are back alive again. A server owned by a hacker, don't bother joining the server.

lol, monthyl payments...are you out of your mind?^^ im not going to pay for it monthly at all. except its like 50 cent per month..:) i think i would buy dayz for about 5 bucks, as it is right now. when finished and without bugs it might be worth 25... however, i think that warz will be the big deal. they got an entire engine, just for this game, and nothing else. since they dont release many informations, i can only imagine how epic it probably will be. switchable scopes, "homemade" weapons like in dead island, a overall better map, with severs, and more enterable buildings (which require keys, or a crowbar to open), a better vehicle system (hoarding of vehicles is ruining the game) better anti cheat... anyways...we will see, which one is the better game. hall should quickly come up with new ideas, and most importantly the new patch...almost a week delay..wouldnt be that bad right? well it is cause its unplayable right now with the fucking graphic bugs.

"Apocalyptic wasteland" makes it sound like this is Fallout, while it's not. It's quite plausible that there is military-equipment around, actually. All those dead soldiers and broken down military-vehicles... Those were army-men fighting the zombies in the initial hours of the apocalypse is my thought. I doubt they had Lee Enfields to kill said zombies.

What do you want for it? I have everything except rangefinders, as50 and LMGs. Vehicles aren't an option either.

Yep they will claim anything as fair game till it gets removed... just like putting tents and vehicles out of map

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.

I'm on the fence about Lingor over Chernarus. I've really come to enjoy the vast wilderness of Chernarus and missed it while exploring Lingor there seems to be a lot of large towns and cities, which may prove to be the better in the long run if people spread out on the map instead of congesting into two cities. Most of the buildings that I have come across have been enterable which is great, I don't bypass small villages and towns like I do in Chernarus where only one out of a dozen buildings might be lootable and the large amount of water may make boats a viable option for transportation once they are fixed. There seems to be more bugs on LIngor, though this may not be the map but server related. I would still like to see a 500km or even a 1000km map complete with rivers and and interstate highways loaded with abandoned but unusable vehicles, maybe a snow-capped mountain or two.

Q. any chance of more working vehicles, for such a large area transport is awfully scarce!

Haven't read the whole thread (don't have time to), but just a few stats to think about: 3856 servers out there, I've been lead to believe there are 3 Heli crashes per server (correct me if I'm wrong), so 11568 Heli crashes. Your 0.87% = ~100 AS50's in total, then most servers restart at least 3 times daily so thats 300 AS50's a day. Now given the fact they don't magically disappear (scripters and bugs excepted), if a player dies with one, chances are another player will pick it up, plus people hoarding them in tents/vehicles. Not disputing duping (it is a problem) but do wanna point out that not every tent/vehicle that has high end gear in it, is duped.

You're missing the point. M107 = 12.7x99 ammo = anti material rifle AS50 = 12.7x99 ammo = anti material rifle M242 =25x137 = anti light armored vehicles cannon Still there? M107 with M107 ammo = 37k dmg AS50 with AS50 ammo = 174k dmg M242 = not in dayZ since there is no tank in dayz. I like data and basic math. 12.7x99 : ~14-20kj of muzzle energy (40-50g bullet / ~900m/s) => M107 & AS50 ammo 25x137 APDS-T : ~121kj of muzzle energy (134g projectile / 1,345m/s) => M242 bushmaster (not the biggest cannon ever, but pierce 16 inch / 40cm of einforced concrete) (ofc, muzzle energy is only a small part of a projectile damage but it's solid data) Again : why do we have in dayZ (and OA but Dwarden think it's trivial) a rifle (AS50 with AS50 mag) able to deal damage close to a small tank cannon? There is no logic here. ArmA2 is a military simulation, and there is nothing irl able to justify this amount of damage. 37k is fine since 5.56 deal ~3500dmg and 7.62 nato 8000dmg, 174k dmg is broken as hell. P.S 2 : oui Yes & no, shotgun slugs are underpowered in DayZ (it is made to kill wild boar... should one-shot a human) but pellets are... fine and maybe op since each pellet deal 2000dmg and don't loose damage over distance (it's a bug). In OA, each pellet deal *more* damage than a single 9mm bullet (pre-nerf) and the gun shoot 11 pellets... All pellet hit a standing soldier at 30m, half at 50m and 1-3 if your target is 100m away.

Our server restarted this morning, upon restarting literally everything had disappeared (tents, vehicles, traps, sandbags, wire, tank traps etc etc) someone read around that another restart would fix this issue so we tried that and still nothing respawned, any ideas?

Cheers chaps, You know the Skoda or whatever its called up at Stary Sober Mil base? Thats one Ive had trouble with before and it never seems to want me in it? Never want to hang around to much myself either! Just got to the part where I know the game its just I need vehicles now. :\

Currently it seems some people at my server are able to disable grass/trees to directly spot tents and vehicles. I have read about this some days ago at this forums but I dunno where.. search didn't help at all. As a server admin I had to include some file check as I remember. Can anyone help me?

The chopper was destroyed by my friends. But we did not find any other vehicles. The chopper was found in a field...

Server 1166 Time 2pm est What happened: We had 3 very isolated bases each base had vehicles and tents. In the matter of a few hours all the Good* vehicles (ural, helicopter, offroad truck etc...) and all the Higher level guns were gone. When we tried to return to the area of the bases we all had our legs broken. Im really getting tired of this, Great work battle eye, keep kicking me because my ping is to high but dont kick people because they're hacking.

Of course, by avoiding high populated servers your chance of running into an hacker is minimized, but it doesn't remove all the stuff they spawn into the game by using scripts. A few days ago i witnessed someone spawning vehicles and some sort of supply boxes. Damn that's crazy. All that stuff being picked up and saved in tents and vehicles destroys gamebalance even when you are playing at low frequented daytime.

Even by looking at the loot on the players you kill you can see the amount of hackers in the game. Maybe you never saw one in person, but i can assure you their stuff is everywhere, like gears and vehicles that they create (not just the hackers, but dupers/exploiters included). I lost count of how many players i killed with NVGs, GPSs, rare assault rifles/snipers, range finders, etc.

Yesterday I was browsing the forums and came across the Wasteland Medic thread in the Survivor Camp subforum, and had a quick read through the OP. Upon seeing a name I recognized in the list of Whitelisted medics (someone who plays quite often on the same server as me, at usually the same times), I contacted him on Steam with the intent to just say hi, and maybe offer the aid of my well-geared survivor group, but as we got chatting, he tells me that his medic camp was recently raided by bandits, and that he had lost his vehicles that he used as ambulances and was about to give up on this server and start again somewhere fresh. As he was describing it, it all sounded a little too familiar. The UAZ filled with guns and meds that our group liberated from a camp just the day before had turned out to be his. I took a quick vote from whoever in my group was online at the time, and we all agreed to give it back to him. So anyway, after a couple hours of drama, including a hacker stealing my groups chopper and a long corpse run for me, I finally get to deliver the medic's ambulance back to him, with a few extra items inside for goodwill. I spend a lot of my time anti-sniping noob snipers on the coast, but this was totally different, felt like I was really contributing to something better.

The problem with vehicles is they don't appear to return to spawn ... well ... ever. So the first people in a server essentially get their pick, they repair the vehicles, horde them in a corner somewhere and never let them see light of day until some dude with a bike stumbles onto them.

Well that escalated quickly... And no, last thing we need is more military weapons. @OP: Yes, more damaged vehicles would be nice. Let some of us that don't horde on the server have a chance to play with them.
