So my experience is so-so. I've managed to loot about 8-9 downed choppers and have been ghillie/gps/map etc a few times with.50 cal m4a3cco etc. So I can gear myself up in about a few hours if i do die. Looking for a group of survivors to run around with and fix up vehicles, etc. I'm pretty geared run now minus the enfield im carrying. pm for more info :> btw i play alot. around 3-4 hours a day. age 25 location SC, US role scouter/sniper

I vote remove tents from the game. Anyways, I once saw a tent in an open field, it had 8 dmr mags and some other stuff. Also remove vehicles, or just make them require a ton of maintenance (oil changes tuneups and shit)

Did you seriously just rip my post completely? http://dayzmod.com/f...r-good-players/ what a joke! rofl I remember this guy now. lol Rexx on skype. We chatted for like an hour before he starts getting pushy about if I have a camp and what gear and vehicles. LOL He got mad when I wouldn't just give him stuff. I removed him from skype and ignored him. HAHA and he copies exactly my post in the link LFG. These are the kind of tools that play this game and why I posted lol looking for experienced players..

I agree with this, DayZ with vehicles is so much fun. As you said it also gives you a little quest to do for repair runs.

Then they'll use vehicles instead, which'll add to the vehicle 'hoarding'

A bus is probably one of the worst vehicles in the game in my opinion.

I read the title of this thread and was going to post "Why not" and then I read the posts. I'm worried that by touching the tents I'm only adding to the duping problem. I've only set up a tent once so I don't really understand how the mechanics work, same with vehicles. Can't you empty the tent, save it then smash it an when the server restarts it'll be empty from when you saved it?

I've heard this said many times but it doesn't seem to be the case. Personally I think any tents/vehicles should be automatically moved back to the border after a restart. However I know most people hide their stuff at stupid distances off the map only to log on a few times a day to refresh them which honestly sucks. So is it acceptable to keep your tents and stuff 5KM off the map so no one can find them?

Hello :) I've just finished re-installing Arma2 combined ops on my system to be able to play DayZ and I am SOOO excited! Anyway, just a quick question really, I've heard people mentioning that they have to save the positions of their vehicles to have them stay there, how is this done, or is it automatic? Also, is DayZ like MMO's with the servers, as in one save on a server is carried onto the next one (with all your equipment) or is each server individual saves? Thanks and I shall be hiding someone near you to stop you from stealing my beans xD

I have the same problem. Hadn't played for a few days and when I tried to login today to save some of our vehicles I could not get through loading.

Ill pop by your TS tonight but Ill leave an app here in the meantime :) Age: 25 Experience Level: 2 days of in game experience. Know pretty much everything about the game (bar vehicles) through videos and articles. I have a very tactical playstyle which comes from experience through military ops airsoft and zombie apocolypse airsoft. Prefered Role: Medic / Scout Location: Scotland SteamID: mlongshorts

So this morning I was on US 1325, West of gorka. I opened my map to check where I was, and then i got Battleye script restriction #125 (I think) which booted me off the game. I tried to log back into the server, when I simply got a message saying "You Were Banned." I am not to happy about this, for US 1325 is my "home" server, with all of my vehicles and gear.

I believe they get deleted after 24hrs of inactivity. Personally I think its stupid, they should be deleted on server restart... there is NO reason whatsoever for being able to save vehicles outside the map. I mean whats to stop someone flying the heli 20km north of the map where nobody will ever find it, log back in just before the server restart and fly it back to the map, wiait for restart then fly back out again. :/ stupid. Should be bannable offense..

Just throwing this out there. man, I just found 2 vehicles within a km of each other! Woot! But, they both need everything... wheels, engine, fuel... bummer I'm still looking to medic someone, west side of map

Ander has stated that vehicles outside of the map boundaries get deleted iff, at the (re)start of the server, they have not had interaction with a player for six or more in-game time hours.

What's wrong with camping. On a 225km^2 map, it seems like appropriate to have sniper rifles. On a 225km^2 map you're going to get bored sitting in the middle of nowhere. On a 225km^2 map snipers go to the busy places, because that's where the targets are. On a 225km^2 you try to hide your camps/vehicles, where it's least likely others will discover it. I am looking forward to vecihles hidden outside the map get delete if left unattended for 6 hours or hopefully even less.

Construction When selecting an urban base structure, for example reinforcing a structure Be sure to only barracade main entrances, as you may cause the barbwire to glitch partially throught the wall, trapping you inside, or Trapping sever-hoppers inside. Fire houses make great structures to hold up in, however due to the military grade loot you will find yourself at constant stand off with other survivors on your server, good if you want a challange or if its a temporary HQ, However never go as far as to place a tent unless you want the contents stolen over night if ungaurded. After selecting your structure for your urban survival situation of choice, be it firehouse, large red, or large orange building, often what you will find is zeds may walk right throught your defense, fear not as this is only a minor bug that is easily fixed by the player, when placing the barbwire, be sure to double stack it, by placing two ontop of each other it makes the object thick enough that zed's notice its existance and rather then walk throught, try to go around and find an alternate route. Large clans, or known groups Living in the citys, be it inland or near the coast, you will find often, that large clans or groups of survivors will march throught in hopes of easy kills or medical supplies, evasion is not always the best option as is presumed, if you daring enough, call out to them, and point out that your there, and if they get too close, you will open fire, or perhaps befriend them. The plus with barbwire is deconstruction, you will hear them removing it if they try and sneak up on you from one of your barracaded entrances, double or even triple stacking to avoid Zeds is also great in the way that it causes playes to reveal there locations when removing it. easy self defense and any half decent clan will know to avoid being out in door ways to remove such. Inner-city Fishing Inner-city fishing is the act of making your base in a building with windows over looking a road, by blocking off this road with barbwire and tank traps you force vehicles to reverse out or circle around, or crash, Often giving you time to remove the driver and/or crew, This tactic requires extreme patience and tact, it will get you killed often and plenty untill you learn to deal with groups, main roads and firehouses once again have the advantages here, electro and cherno are the best fishing holes and will often sink you a vehicle if you know theres a group online. The Great Clean up On servers that reboot rarely, it is often helpfull to clean up loot piles, throwing all tin cans out of the building and anything usefull be horded on a non-loot peice of flooring in you base, cleaning multiple buildings will cause a path you can walk to allow stuff behind you to spawn, and if you clean on your way, next time you do the walk after cleaning, the other building will have new loot aswell, as said before, all guns found should be moved to your main base location, while they will disappear on reboot or lack of player activity in the area, the varity of weapons and ammo will be to your advantage in diffirent situations Footnote My spelling and grammar may be terrible, and i thank you for taking your time to wade throught my post.

About those tents in the middle of the woods, those are never safe, being a career camp raider I usually know exactly where the good tents are. Armed to the teeth thanks to some extremely well stocked "clan clusters" I will wait at night outside a camp and while eating beans and sipping on some mountain dew waiting for engine noise. Survivor(s) drive up on an atv or bike, or a car if I am lucky, park by the tent headlights on, get off, go to tent, get wiped out. Otherwise I just loot. I would go into more detail but that is not the point I am trying to make. 1. Isalnds are more or less secure if you control most of the easy to get "small boats" especially that rock 12 km out, but holy shit and one bad chopper landing will wipe out your tents in a heartbeat. Never use choppers for islands though because people will see it land and take off from the high pop coast and that is never good. Land by boat and from the side facing away from the coast. 2. Seperate you vehicles from your main camp by at least 2km, and use a bike to travel between them. No engine noise that the wary looter may hear. 3. This may seem crazy but never put your tents at the top of mountains or even in wooden areas that are mostly flat all around. I never spend more than a few hours without high tier gear from easy places like these. Put them in odd locations, not just on the map but in the terrain, but seriously, EVERYBODY will find that tent city in the north east corner of the map. Use centeral north and north west if you have absolutely no better place to put them. Use the NW pass for vehicles and keep them in a motor pool away from your camp. City bases last little longer than beans in a backpack so I would only use one if I wanted to start over and go out in a guns blazing atop the battlements fashion. Think alamo.

It's a shame you weren't there 3 days ago, then. I killed a bus driver (while it was moving, obviously.) with a CZ 550 and then destroyed the wheel so the passengers wouldn't be able to start it again, in two shots. I'm not even proud of myself, anybody could have done the same even with a fucking MP5. The only vehicle that's actually hard to stop/destroy is the Huey. All other vehicles are civilian vehicles and ridiculously fragile.

I did play in the armory with a friend on a passworded small server only for us that I made and hosted on my own computer. We wanted to try out a number of different vehicles. I've read somewhere that the reason that Day Z is so hackable is because of the use of scripts. I also read that scripts are allowed on non battleye servers or whatnot. So I looked around and found a vehicle spawning script. We went into the armory on the small passworded server and had some fun. After that i went to sleep and when I got up in the morning i was banned... //Edit: I can also play on some servers but not others... Like, I can play on GB #500, but not US 260...

I know very little about hacking in DayZ, how diffcult it is or how prevalent it is. I have been in servers where I suspect hacking has occurred, but it seemed to target either vehicles or all of the players on the server. Either way it didn't ruin the game for me, I don't expect to be able to hang onto vehicles and my stash remains untouched after two months of play. Still having fun, still getting a rush, still looking for bicycle :)

must have made someone mad there lol find their server, find their camp, rape them a couple and then destroy their camp thats what i'd do :D Edit: and make sure to record it. Revenge on Youtube is so bitter for those whom have to take it. But, tbh i'd rather have you ragequit over you getting admin powers, and go rageban if someone stumbles across your tents. I have a team, i shoot zombies, and nothing is wrong with placing tents. And nothing is wrong with finding, looting, stealing and destroying tents / vehicles. Also, pretty much selfowned if you publicly announce your name / what server you play on... but sure, blame rocket, its all his fault!!! Edit: i know what server you played on 2 days ago. Took me a few minutes, including grabbing your name from one of your Videos. All I need is my browser. It sucks though, seems its not polling all servers / not giving back all players logged. But I know of better ways to track you down if i needed to, and there's no need to involve hacks. I suggest to a ) change your name b ) change your name daily or put an overlay if you stream/record videos c ) change servers instant or just go your ragequit all the way, like a boss

Well I am one of the admins in of US 863, and you know what pisses me off the most about your post? We have an email ([email protected]) and a mumble server for you to contact the admins about crap like this. Secondly, we never shut down the server for crap like this. We ALWAYS give a 10 - 15 minute warning about server restarts (unless the server crashes, which does happen). But since you obviously never noticed the global message that pops up EVERY 10 MINUTES on our server that tells you how to contact the admins, then you probably never noticed a restart warning. Another problem with your whining post is that you didn't include any names of the players that were in the vehicle, you didn't tell me what time this happened, and you included no screenshots, no proof of your claim, nothing. Just whining. There are times script kiddies get on our server and do crazy things, sometimes this causes our server to crash. There are times we will do an emergency shutdown (when script kiddies are teleporting people and killing them), but that will always be announced first before the shutdown. Simple put, neither myself, or the other two admins of 863 would ever shutdown the server because someone shot us out of a vehicle. All of the admins and some of our friends all died trying to fix a helo and take off in it, we didn't shut down the server because of it. We play fair, we keep our server fair. Shut your mouth, you obviously haven't played on our server or joined our mumble server we host for our players. We go out of our way to reach out to the DayZ community to provide a great server to play on. And we have lost several vehicles over time, restarting or shutting down the server is never something we do. Yes, it should be dealt with in a serious manor. Admins that do abuse their server should be shut down. And there are admins out there that abuse the server. But we're not the bad guys. The jackass that started this topic didn't even provide the names of the players they killed. You saw three murders? Awesome. Who were they? (Admins are myself (melted349), red-404, and dazoe) I was gone all weekend for USAR Drill, and I'm gonna bet none of these murders was either of the other two admins. It so funny, how apparently us admins shutdown the server to save our vehicle, yet we let you back in to torch our vehicle. Oh right, because this isn't a case of admin abuse. Just a case of a whining child that didn't pay attention to warnings about a server restart which just happened to be shortly after you shot some people. Someone else mentioned something about know who the server admins are. Well at least on our server, every time an admin joins there is a global message announcing it. There is always a global message announcing our mumble server and our dayz email ([email protected]) that you can contact the admins directly. You want to accuse me or my fellow admins of abuse? Back up your claim with reasonable evidence. I'd like to think we run one of the few decent servers out there, but players get butt hurt over the slightest restart and throw out claims of abuse when they are the ones that don't read the global messages, don't attempt to contact the admins directly themselves. You are the ones that should be dealt with. And if I wasn't a decent admin, I'd track you down in my server logs and ban you. But that would be admin abuse, and we don't abuse our admin rights on our server.

I rented a DayZ server from Vilayer 1 week ago and i have set 3 daily restarts, but every time the server auto-restarts everything goes wrong. -Tents and vehicles disappear, every one of them on the entire map. -Day time changes from night to day even though it was set to utc+0 and at 2 pm was night time. I tried changing the time to utc-3 to see if something changes. I will send a ticket to vilayer but first i want to ask you guys if you ever had this problem and if you know a way to fix it since the only way i know is to manually restart the server again and this is not nice for the players :(

What if I take the GUID of a player I don't like, That has hoarded vehicles on my server, copy the information you posted (for example) and put his info in it?
