I don't, but i just wanted to justify myself. Just happened when he banned me, i died off the mountain. I was running back to my body to retrieve my items, then I get banned. So not just that I've lost my 5 vehicles in the server, but my NVG, GPS, M4A3 CCO, M104, PDW and so on are all gone!

You accused me as a hacker. Please tell me what did I do, and why isn't I banned by battleye if I am hacking. Let me guess, those vehicles I found at the edge of the map by the sea are yours. Now in here, tell everyone what hack I was using, and what did I do.

I was banned from that server as well. I didn't do anything wrong. I was running around looking for vehicles and stopped to look at my map options and was suddenly banned. I think the guy's name who banned me was USER 1.

I know there's a bug that when some vehicles crashes - after the next server restart it stays there new and repaired. Is it possible it has crashed somewhere faaaar out of the map (I was high and there was lots of fuel) and after the restart it just stays there completely new? If so it means its impossible to find it and the trick that after 24h all vehicles out of the map just respawn again seems not working.

What do you mean "How are we supposed to deal with vehicles?" ? Are we playing the same game? I wouldn't be surprised if you showed me a video of some guy destroying a bus by throwing smoke grenades or road flares at it.

Well said. As a recent new member to TG, and an avid gamer since the days of Doom/Quake, I have never found a community as dedicated and committed to fair and honest play in any game TG is involved with. I have played as a guest on their servers since 2005 and have always been impressed by the cooperation and communication within this community. As for TG in DayZ, this was the game that finally convinced me to join the team. As stated above, I have been killed by bugs, hackers, exploiters, straight up players, and even the AI zombies. I have lost vehicles, high value gear, and my pride more time than I can remember. It's not the stuff in the game that makes me log in day after day, it’s the brilliant implementation of the mod as well as the TG community that brings me back for more alpha abuse. Anyone looking for a good team or a good fight will find it on the TG server.

I have to admit to the moderators of Dayz, this game is fantastic with what it can hold with limitless possiblites although flawed to a extent (meaning they can always make it better! its good but can always add more content as it progresses) as it shows what the game can truly do and the outcomes you survive day by day within this zombiefied game. The challenge is there, and you really have to use your wits and trust with pretty much every decision you can come up with. With that being said, the game has many fun and interesting aspects that may be a mod, but it's something more. It's a fun filled adventure where you start off on a island with barley and resources to your person and your goal is to find food, water or soda, and take the environment before you and survive this curel world. Take arm with other players and defend your rights to live as you fight the hord! Zombies just about everywhere and without a silencer, your very much screwed. One gun shot realistically shows how many zombies know what your doing without a silencer, and with bandits ready to kill you on site, it just shows how F%@$ up humans really are! Arnt you just beautiful? Anyways, With all this said, this game dosnt sound bad, does it? Heck no, its probably one of the most fun type games I'll ever play. Did I mention when you die you start off from fresh and new and lose everything 8 D so intense! Of course then there's ya know... So playing the game for almost a week now, I got use to using a internet map trying to figure out locations. I spent time learning the inn and outs, where I spawn when I die. Thanks to the endless waves of multi purpose rotting brain num nuts that stroll all over the map wanting a piece of you. And so with 4 days in I get with a group of people, get some pretty cool gear, learn to loot better, get lots of rare and hard to come by amo for a gun that's silenced. And Im like, wow, Im doing fairly well in this game, I work well with people and Im having a ton of fun! Yay Dayz. I even get a map and learn to use it! Of course there were times when bandits did try to kill me and my friends, no real complaint about that, like I said, wonderfully F%^$! stupid humans (Youd think that banning together would be more common other then see and shoot on spot, zombies are more important in terms of killing and avoiding them and living if you ask me. Can't forget about living) But this is a game so I wont tangent on that subject for much longer. Getting to the point, the way I died was very cruel. No I wasn't sniped for being an idiot and standing up running past Cherno or Starly while some guy up high on a hill or a complex structure blasted my brains out. No I didn't die from someone getting every zombies attention while doing a military base run. And I didn't die because I tried to do a epic jump and broke all my bones in my body. I died by what is called a "ghost" I was rippled with a endless stream of bullets out of no where, with no one near me, non of my friends saw this person. People were being teleported and pretty much everyone of the server died instantly. All the vehicles were blown to pieces, and the server was crashed. By nothing more then our wonderful universal all stars of unknown reeking havick on countless worlds and countless machinery at there disposle to get access through technology and abusing it. Hackers. I died because some hacker jumped into the sever and basically started to blow people up, without warning, without notice of any kind, without mercy. I was on a hill going towards Electro, but was planning to get more people before we looted, as we just came back from Starly. Yes, there are risks when entering a area that is prown to countless bandits ready to eat you worse then the zombies with there bullets bracketing your face off with there keen eyesight waiting to take your blood with there trigger, but that makes it more challenging. What has gotten me to be fed up is, why should I play this game. Why should I waste my time and patient and my own spent time to play this game. Did I mention that this is my time to play the game? I'm pretty sure many will agree. Sure Id be super pissed if a bandit killed me because I wasn't being earful to where they were, but what I cannot stand is a hacker that does all of this in one or two command promps using a program to lay waste to EVERYONE in the server. With that said, Im taking a halt on Dayz, a wonderful experience that staggered in the end. Even if the mod is free and is available for everyone, let me rephrase if I haven't already. Dayz is a very FUN and EXCITING GAME! but I cannot play a game where your death means you lose everything, and I die from a hacker. I can report the hacker right now? but honestly, what's the point, there will be more, and more and every time I play this game, there's a hacker on the server. The only means I have to redeem myself is buying this hack mod and F^%@! waste every hacker I see using there own weapon. But, I have other things in mind other then to waste my time fighting a endless battle of incompetent two year old minds, then play the game to god mod, and killing a Guardian isnt smart btw sweet heart, if you killed me in game play terms, that would be cool, and I would probably learn from my mistakes, and well, get better! But I cant get better with hacks. Nope, I simply can't. Im more complex then you will ever understand, and yes, that was directed towards you because your probally readint this <3 So thank you Dayz team for making this wonderful moded game off of Arma 2 and Arma 2 Operation ArrowHead.(And the older version too, even though I never played them) You have truly inspired a well imerce experience by using a simple game and turning it into one of the coolest zombie games to date. My suggestion would be to get rid of whatever piece of garbage hacker prevention program your using and get something that will put whatever these hackers desgined back in there pants. Because I will certainly not play a game for 12 hours, get a bike, a decent gun, health and food supplys, a map, knife, fire starter, toolbox, blood packs, te(list goes on) and then die because I was blown up or teleported to my death. Not worth it. will I ever come back? only time will tell. ~Chrys.

It actually wouldn't have to be a city per say. You could use barb wire, sandbags, tank traps, tents, and vehicles. A city would be cool, but with the constant spawning of zombies 30 feet away, it would be impossible.

Its not that simple a question to be answered with just 'Yes' or 'No'. All depends on what engine, what its capable of, etc. also if Dayz standalone has any depth. If it went standalone with the same kind of content it had now, assuming that content finally works, I don't think i'd bother. Currently its a loot hunting game with a lame loot spawning system, and offers little more than PVP and a 'collect 'em all' endgame where guns and vehicles take the place of pokemon.

Ok so playing in one of the NZ servers i stumbled across a AS-50, NVG, gps, map the works on some poor fellow that got screwed over in a forest, going from electro to cherno, couldnt believe my luck auctually, anyhow. Headed into cherno and decided to camp on one of the buildings, and I noticed someone in a ghillie suit straight away, partilly because the guy was on top of a chimney stack,.. so yeah you can imagine he stood out pretty well. I popped him in the head and a message came up saying "******* was killed by chaosnz (friendly fire)". Kinda never seen that before. Can anyone tell me what it refers to? Anyway, about 10 minutes later i saw someone running towards a building so i watched, up he climbed and he just sat there, I decided to tease him so i threw a few flares in his direction, they mustive landed a few feet from him as he never moved a muscle. We exchanged a few shots, etc, Took him about 10 more minutes to move, funny enough he climbed up a ladder in plain view of me, and so i killed him, shot him in the knee, and the guy bled out. Ok, so im laughing at this point and thinking, that was too easy, not a minute later i heard shots coming from the direction of the firestation so i looked, saw someone shooting zombies so i decided to aim just above his head and shoot, he dropped and crawled into cover, i didnt kill him just decided to watch. Heard a few more shots and turned around looking for them, couldnt see anyone. Crawling back to where i was i heard a vehicle driving around, and to my surprise it was a black SUV. The driver pulled upto the firestation and jumped out. I sat there waiting for the perfect moment to fire but it didnt come. Watching and waiting i saw the SUV pull away and proceed inland towards the main road, where i noticed another suv sitting there. Now this oughta be good i thought, zoomed in, and shot at the vehicles and anyone nearby, wasted about a clip on them and promptly saw the 2 SUV's blow up. Nice little show i thought. All i saw was a ton of zombies running towards the explosions. And i didnt see too many more people in the area after that..

See, that's the problem. That's what I was talking about. It does feel like it's only been a couple months since the infection BUT Rocket made it so 95% of the vehicles in Chernarus are impossible to drive, this doesn't make any sense but he did it for the sake of authenticity, to give us this post-apocalyptic feeling of loneliness, emptiness and helplessness when running in a no man's land for 20 minutes before getting shot in the head and having to do it all over again. So why couldn't he, for the sake of the authenticy, do it again and get rid of military high end gear such as NVG or 50. Cals? Maybe they kinda make sense since it's a military area but they also certainly feel completely out of place in a zombie apocalypse. 25 bikes and 20 drivable cars in a town would also logically make sense. If this was a feature, anybody would be able to defend it because it's completely logical. But then everybody would have a car and the map would feel too small, death wouldn't be so bad because your buddy would be able to pick you up 3 minutes later and you'd get your weapons back from the trunk of the car. Zombies would become even more useless. It would be more of a Mad Max kind of game. It's not because it would logically be there that it SHOULD.

This is a game bug, items in vehicles/tents don't save either.

Quit hoarding vehicles and they wont get stolen :)

Hello all, I'd like to clarify something about this Silver player. He has partaken with a certain now ex-member or even is a bitter rename of said ex-member of our group to finding camps and vehicles. We have no proof he has hacked, he has been killed without his balls even shifting towards our direction. However, the circumstances of what has been circulating around our servers recently when he is online have always been one of great chin and beard stroking. The post he is quoting is completely invalid and he will not be backed up by any of our group as he was seen exploiting tent glitches and was not removed from the group, but when the TS of the community changed it's logistics, he thought he was banned and went QQ imma rage in ma baby bed. As a player partaking in the BSM and RR community and privy to the events that went on, silver/blindingsun (original or 'friends') player name was never one to be trusted.

Yes, you can place vehicles off map. You just need to save them every 24 hours. It's an easy thing to do and only requires a minimal amount of time per day if you have a second account to keep near them to save them on a regular basis.

SCO 27. North the hill up of podama dam or w/e that big lake is called. Last time OM6's clan tents/vehicles with loot was there. Let me know if you go there and find anything.

I've found vehicles offmap on the official servers. Now there's some options: a) The vehicle was there by only few hours (less than 6 according to the devs). But one of them was not operational (missing a wheel) so it should have been there by a while. So the devs lied. b) This 6 hours things is not working, and some ppl have figured it already, so there still ppl hording vehicles offmap (and this is happening with the chop as well now). c) The 6 hours "cleanup" is run manually by a dev... but it's not run anymore. I want to "waste" a vehicle just to try it myself... to show (eventually) how a vehicle can survive for more than 24 hours offmap (with a server restart btw).

In the setting of the game .50 cal is completely legit. There was a military invasion before the outbreak, and judging by all the destroyed SUVs and Helicopters, both sides had helicopters and armored vehicles. And the .50 cal is an anti vehicle weapon. So it makes sense to equip some of your soldiers with .50 cal snipers.The standart equipment for a sniper and his marker is guilly suit, rangefinder, and nightvision googles. I dont see how those should not be in the game. Also you have to give the players some goal to work for. In Dayz it is mostly to find better gear. And thats why that stuff is in the game.

Our group have found a couple servers where the vehicles literally would not save their locations even though we definitely saved before logging out. Even parked them next to our tents, which had high end loot, and they would disappear without the tents being looted. Maybe you were just unlucky? That being said, yeah there are exploits and scripts that show vehicles, and tents too. :( You could try running the fuel out before leaving them and having fuel cans hidden in tents nearby, or even damaging them if you have repair parts, just be careful xD (Yeah it's not a great solution! :( )

im pretty sure both civilian vehicles and army vehicles are also used to carry stuff around with them lol.

Tell me about it. No gas, and if you hit something, just hop off the bike and back on. Fixes itself. Dunno if it's a bug or not but it makes them a hell of a lot better then gas powered vehicles. Also them being silent to players is a pretty huge plus. Nothing like rolling up to a sniping position on your huffy.

Minimiumiu confimed for being a hacker, running around with an akm while invisible. We killed his friend he freezes the server and kills us all. He was also standing on the island with the lighthouse south of Elektro with 2 non legit vehicles.

But I don't do it for my muders/bandit kills to go up. I really could care less. Just because a couple of really bad bandits do it to see their murder score go up doesn't mean everyone thinks that way. I see equally geared groups and my group wants to engage them because it's a thrill to take down a group of people. It feeds a group mentality and allows us to accomplish something that individually we might not be able to. Vehicles are easy to hoard, zombies are retarded and aren't a threat to a group of 2+ as long as there isn't any other bandits around. What else is there to do besides hunt other players? Edit: Fixed a couple of typos

There is an easy hack to remove all trees and rocks etc, combine that with a chopper and your not going to keep any vehicles. I haven't been able to hold a vehicle for any length of time since the return of choppers.

How about this,remove tents complete from the game. So everything you have is the stuff you carry around,if you die,you really loose everything and you just cant run back to your leet tent with duped gear. Also remove storage space from vehicles,so the only thing you can do with them is using them to driving around,thats what they are designed for. Maybe then we would see more vehicles driving around instead of horded vehicles somewhere far up north.
