To lazy to log on my main (IcEy) Lithium i actually liked you dude, you helped us get a few cars back up and running after we were previously raided. The reason why you were banned is because we believe you or your friend were ESP hacking. Along with script killing Cik. For all the people whining in the thread, OMG ADMIN ABUSE SEE, THIS IS WHY DAYZ SUCKS, PEOPLE ABUSE. lolno. You do not know the story, so let me fucking tell it to shut you kids up. This is going off memory from 2-3 weeks ago Our camp was raided after we stockpiled a lot of shit. The people blew up all our vehicles, crushed all our tents, and even spread out some gear on the ground all over (jerry cans and such). We tossed it up to server hoppers/hackers, because why else would someone just blow up all the cars? Rather then take them. They would of took our two dirtbikes, our UAZ offroad, we had an ATV, would make no sense if someone from our server would blow it up, theyd steal it for themselves. So because of this, we set up a temp camp with the V3S and a motorcycle and maybe a bicycle and a tent or something near skalka(sp?). They did not know where the new camp was, only a few of us did. So Cik and Nasir camped the spot for a couple hours just shooting the shit and watching the camp to see if the hacker that hit our camp would come by and take our shit or destroy it. Low and behold, they see two people running directly for the vehicles that are in two different locations and hidden. The two people were Morpheus and Tank. One being lithium that was under an alias in his own clans server. Keep in mind, we liked lithium and he seemed like a good guy, and we let him wear our tags and hang with us, its not like this was his first day in the clan. So they run directly towards the vehicles and take them, knowing FULL WELL they are the clans(we told people in TS we had found the V3s again, and a motorcycle and were making a new camp). So map kicks them to see who they were and to see if they would come back, as we suspected we had a mole in our clan. They come back and try to take them again, and map kicks them once more. Lithium joins our TS and tells Nasir that he keeps getting kicked for some reason. This is when they have a convo and Nasir asks him why is he (lithium and his friend, also his friend would pop on our TS once in a while to play with us), taking the clans vehicles when we are setting up camp. Lithiums reasoning is that "We just happened to stumble across the camp" "Oh we were just gonna drive them around, we wanted to go have some fun".Nasir asks him, How did he know where the tractor camp was, and the other camp? Lithium jumps the gun and says "What do you mean?? What do you think im ESP hacking or something? Im not" No one said anything about any accusations, The way he was talking in TS was jittery and nervous like he had been caught. You wouldnt steal your clans vehicles and fuck around with them when we were JUST raided the day before and trying to set shit back up. At this point they werent banned yet, we werent going to ban him just because he was betraying the clan. We simply banned him from TS. Cik, a member of DES, killed both of them(or maybe it was just lithium, I dont remember), at which point lithium left the server, and the only people on the server were Nasir, Cik, and Tank. Tank goes to a different camp that only map and cik had known about, and tried to take the shit over there. He runs right to the tractor and gets killed by Cik. Death message goes up and everything. About 45 sec-1 minute later, Cik randomly dies, and is in TS saying, Uhhh i guess my character just had a heart attack because i just randomly died while laying on the ground. Nasir goes to check the script logs and sees that Tank used a script to kill him. That's why you and your friend were banned.

My friends and I were talking about this a while ago. With the amount of snipers now, the chances of you getting blown up on a public server are huge.. but oh it would be so much fun to do. (No worries, we only blow up vehicles not in cities, and we chase them, on foot, and would never do it to a transport bus). Maybe if the server admin but something in their welcome message about a transport bus being on it?

Last night our group was elated to find one lone guy landing a chopper. We engaged and killed him, but not before he shot the engine out with his AS50. (His only gear was an AS50, ghillie, and Patrol Pack, leading us to believe the chopper was hacked in and he had been hacking) While 2 of us were watching the chopper, a bus drove by and the sniper I was overwatching for shot it causing it to stop and the driver to jump out who then died to the sniper. A few mins later, we saw another player low crawling to the bus and get it moving, and the sniper shot it 7-10 times with no effect, not even on the glass. After hours of searching for the part, we fixed the chopper and got it airborne. One rough landing later the engine was slightly damaged. I (Pilot) got out while my mates were checking a spawned chopper crash, when I got back in, the chopper was totally fixed, proving it was hacked. Within 10 minutes of flying, my gunner spotted another chopper in the air, when he shot at it, a player jumped/fell from the chopper and died, and the chopper crashed. Very Bizarre behavior. Logging in this morning, the chopper was gone but none of our other items were taken. I'm wondering if players have been using scripts to find hidden vehicles, since the chopper spot was outside the normal lanes of traffic as well as hidden from the eye and parked in a spot that was very hard to land in. While I totally expected it to get stolen/destroyed quickly, within 6-8 hours seems suspicious.

From when I first got DayZ my challenges progressed like this: Avoiding Zombies Killing Zombies Hunting For Good Loot Avoiding Players Killing Players Being a Sniper Building Forts Hunting Bandits NW Airfield Fixing Up Vehicles Helping New Players The greatest challenge I have found in the game, is to help a fresh spawn stranger get supplies in Cherno or Electro. They are magnets for death and I quite enjoy killing everything and everyone that comes after them. Where do you find your greatest challenge? What goals have you set for yourself?

oh god NOOOO I PLAY ON THIS SERVER MY VEHICLES ARE GONE! please pm me Lulua exactly what vehicles were there i want to make sure those hackers didnt take my stuff

Vehicles can not show up on certain restarts. It happens at least once a day on the server I play on.

Me and a friend were on the server UK6379 and we managed to gather quite a lot of stuff, as50, dmr M4a1 cco sd and we managed to fix up a v3s truck. We were driving up to stary and half way there we decided to make a camp. we saved the vehicle and stored some of our weapons and ammo in the tents and truck and then logged off. We tried to go back on about 20 minutes later and the server was locked with two people on it, the admin MrMadakey and someone else Maddog_30. this went on for about 4 hours untill it was unlocked we logged on and all of our stuff was gone, the v3s was stolen and out tents were flattened by a vehicle. I think they are locking the server and going around stealing peoples vehicles and raiding camps whilst they have the server locked. It is now currently locked with the same people in and this happened two days ago so it seems they are doing it again

For the first incident, people could have found the vehicles and taken them but didn't save them so they returned to where you hid them after a server restart

So me and my friends managed to get hold of some vehicles on a quieter server. We brought them to a hiding place that was suitable enough. The next day we log in and they are gone. This seems quite strange as the hiding place is well out of the way of anything, in a forest and also that a server crash had happened just after we finished up on the server. We finished at about 2 am and when relogging in at midday the server was down. We then managed to log into the server at 4ish and the vehicles were gone. We assumed they had been found and taken elsewhere. Yet later that week, about 4 days after said events they just reappeared in the place we had left them, in the positions we had left them, with the gear we had left them. Yay we thought! We had some fun with them for 2 days, found a new hiding place. I logged in on the third day to find no vehicles, no tents (we had set up 3) and a burnt out motorcycle in the position we had actually left the motorcycle. Again, it can't have been more than 16 hours since we had left them and the tents. 5 hours of this time was pitch black and also the time irl was dead of night. There cannot have been more than 4 people on the server at one time for the time. This second disappearance occurred a week after the first, and what confuses me is that the tents were all gone as well. Just vanished. Basically do we know of any disappearing acts that vehicles pull for 3-4 days at a time. It is entirely possible someone stumbled across our camp with nvgs in the middle of nowhere, but to move all that gear they must have needed about 5 people or worked on it all night. Even then is it possible to remove tents entirely? I've tried and I cant get it to work :P I have my suspicions it is a bug but want to be sure

The second our snipers die we would be alerted and leave in our vehicles, and even if were killed there would be so little loot the only reason for it would be the thrill and doing so is likely you would lose gear that we would use to trade with the next people !

I'm in posession of a very nice truck full of stuff that I "liberated" from it's hiding place in a tree by an empty tent. Hidden vehicles are rarely as well hidden as you think. :beans:

Hey all, I'm really sick of lone wolfing. Do any Brits want to partner up? I'm starting out with a brand spanking new character again so if anyone wants to work their way up from the bottom with me, that'd be great. Or better yet, use your veteran to give me free gear! My goal is to gear up, scope out the map for vehicles and hunt down bandits like the dirty dogs they are. I'm 23 so maturish (18+?) players only please. Microphone also. Add me on skype: condor.anderson

The helicopters don't target vehicles so it's likely someone is just doing a much better job of hiding them. I found a VERY well hidden UAZ with a full complement of weapons and packs the other day and "liberated" it. (Sorry to whoever is missing all that stuff LOL) I doubt it would have been visible from the air or any road. It was deep inside a clump of trees that covered the roof entirely and it was an accident I saw the empty tent sticking out of the tree beside it that got my attention.

Aye, i will check the area when it is light again, but in future i will not get too attached to my vehicles ;D Lucky i took everything useful to me out of the truck before i DC, just incase this very scenario happened xD

I guess my question is, IS IT possible for vehicles to fail to respawn? It's not a matter of them being well hidden or not, I flew the map more than enough times. Ive seen a vehicle blow up, and not respawn there or at its original spawn location on several restarts. Just trying to get facts here.

Finding tents and vehicles and looting what I want then destroying the rest.

Vehicles are overrated.

Sometimes they disappear and re-appear. I have seen a whole camp full of vehicles come and go so many times, seems like every other reset. Usually if you have a lot of vehicles (and by a lot I mean at least 5 or 6 - yeah I am one of those guys) and they are all gone but the tents and items are there then it's a bug. After restart they come back. This only applies if you have a REALLY good hiding spot.

that part is kinda up to you. generally you want the other person on vent, some people will put stuff into the other person's backpack. people can trade through vehicles. most have sniper cover. some will give a friend all of their valuables in the event they die. the mechanics of the trade are your call, take enough precautions to cover your ass for the risk level involved.

Gun wear and tear wouldn't be an issue for me, as I rarely use mine. I can see it as being a potential gun-sink. I also think that having poorly maintained weapons lying on the ground or in fields wouldn't be out of place in the mod. If it had been introduced at the start of the experiment, people would have accepted it, but people are generally against change. I don't agree with the removal of the anti-material rifles. In a mod that has helicopters and vehicles, they have a place. I don't, however, believe that we need two of them. Removing one of them wouldn't hurt the mod all that much. The bigger issue is the sheer number of weapons in the game. But as I've mentioned in previous posts, and taken a lot of heat over them, the biggest issue is the artificial injection of weapons into the mod. Duping and hacking in of these weapons is creating a huge imbalance that affects player behaviour and play style. The game and weapon drop rates might be perfect as is ... but we'll never know until the artificial injection of weapons is removed or reduced. Ammo drop rates might also be perfect, but again, we don't know because of the glitches that refill ammo, either intentionally or accidentally. I've made similar suggestions from this thread here. http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/54577-adding-my-2cents-admins/#entry521751

I always hide my vehicles and they are rarely found. Try to take less obvious places

I haven't bothered with tents (because of the reported bugs), and have had very little luck with finding vehicles, which is why I didn't comment on them, but yeah...You can't balance the game properly until the really big, glaring issues are fixed. Instantly springing to mind: Zombies walking through things (biggest issue in entire mod). Slow the zombies down until you get better, faster animations to replace them (second biggest issue). Grass/leaves being bulletproof. Inventory management f**king sucks balls. Otherwise...I love this game like no other! ;)

Hacked. If you play arma 2 you'll see lots of weapons and vehicles that aren't in dayz.

Ok a few days ago before we lost our chopper, and have not seen or heard it since btw. We flew around the entire map, AND we flew outside the map to see if we could locate any vehicles. We sure did, but what we noticed was there were several vehicles missing.... Like the 2nd UAZ, The Hippie Van, and the White Car. After a few days I did some reflecting and, I have not seen those vehicles on our server for almost three weeks. Almost daily I drive around the map checking around for vehicles. Has anyone had any vehicles go missing from a server? Are they deleted if someone put them outside the map? Will the respawn? Is it really a 7 day respawn timer, I read that somewhere. Server restarts every 6 hours.

I agree with you guys, I know this is Alpha, but I think we've had enough "new features" to hold people over while we fix bugs now. In addition to the backpack/inventory glitchiness, I would add in tents and (from what I've read) vehicles too; losing stuff because of the inventory being bugged really shouldn't be the hard to fix.
