The huey cannot transport vehicles...And I don't recall ever seeing an atv next to the huey, maybe a hacker spawned it in and broke it?

Most, if not all, the vehicles are hoarded up by dickhead clans and hidden in the northern parts of the map so normal people get a 5-10% chance of actually finding a worthwhile vehicle...

Welp, I have an AS50 I probably won't use, a 1911, a winchester with a shitload of mags, a coyote backpack, map, compass, matches, watch, camo, ample supplies, etc. What should I do? I havent found any vehicles yet, but I don't really feel like fixing a vehicle. So, zombie slaying? I mean I don't really like killing other players.

I really don't care about new bandit heads, or "good guy" heads, or dog companions- Just fix the tents. I'm tired of tents wiping items, duping (empty and full) or simply disappearing. . Its essentially impossible for a new player to gain any ground, and after 1-2 months of play my friends are quitting because of this. We even tried vehicles to store gear. Nope. Server restart, vehicle disappears. So pretty please. With sugar on top. Quit focusing on dog companions and fix the tents. Thanks.

sprinting, going indoors, being outside in the sunshine increases body temperature. "You increase your body temperature by: Moving (very slow, faster movement speed will neutralise loss) Remaining near a Fireplace (very fast) Using a Heat Pack (Instant) Remaining inside buildings (slow) Staying in the sunshine (slow - moderate based on time of day) Sitting in Vehicles - Slow/moderate Your body temperature will decrease when: You are outdoors at night (slow) You are outdoors in a rain storm (fast) You are outdoors in a windy environment (slow) You are immersed in water (Very fast)"

Vehicles aren't rare at all. I like the idea of making fuel stations being "campable" though, might take some emphasis off Cherno/Elektro so snipers can take some pot shots at organized player instead of hatchet wielding new players.

I was thinking the same. Vehicles should be more common but much harder to fix up. So people instead of killing, stealing for the vehicle, they'll fight over fuel and parts. The chopper, especially, should be much harder to fix, I managed to find and fix one, alone lol I also want deeper, more complex "repair" mechanics. Like someone could be "skilled" at fixing vehicles. I'm no way talking about mmo skill crap or so, but something like RedPower/IndustrialCraft mod from Minecraft. Instead of the dull mouse wheel/repair the vehicle, you should actually know what the fuck you're doing in some kind of complex egineering puzzle game lol Not sure people will see what I mean though.

Not true. We've played enough that we know to save tents and vehicles-- Even to the point where we're kinda neurotic about it. Good thought though.

spotting is essential. Know the tools that the hacker's use and report unusual sightings to educate people on the forums. Here's what i have "learned" they can spawn animals and vehicles and can be invisible at times apart from the usual thunderdome festivals. They can track your movements and key presses. I can't be too sure about hackers spawning themselves as animals but have seen the odd sighting of goats and cows silently stalking you only to disappear when you get suspicious of their behaviour. It's the first time i had witnessed the most frightening event in dayz ever - a goat moving its head and not its body. p.s. Keep an eye out for those crows.

Make tents/vehicles save every time there opened and the duping will be fixed.

Hi and thanks for answering. :) Because I'm playing there with many friends, and that we have tents and vehicles there. Also, I'd feel bad asking friends to move servers because some admin used his power to gain advantage. After some Mumble talk, admin unbanned me. Forget it and again thanks.

Personally id love to see vehicles FAR less rare. Mostly because they wouldn't be.

What happens to vehicles that have been saved while destroyed? Do they respawn in their own spawn location after a server restart?

Be sure to save your tents and they will *almost always* come back within the next two server restarts. But not always. And I agree that it's frustrating, but we can find solace, I think, in assuming that this is one of the few things Rocket and co. should be able to fix. Side note, I've found vehicles more reliably retain loot.

The Devs DID do daily updates on their progress patching the graphical issues, that has however stopped now because of everyone getting their panties in a bunch. But seeing as how you do not have to go in to any of the areas with static bodies or the military installations that give the glitches. If you choose to do this anyway stop moaning, we've done Berezino, airfield, balota, cherno, elektro and many of the others today with 8 people. Shift + num(-) flush works for some of us after repeating 10-20 times, others need to restart the game or their comp. And if someone in your team cant completely get rid of them, just put them on overwatch on your vehicles. I mean seriously, yes it is a shitty situation when you cant see diddlysquat but they are working on it and going all Chuck Intrawebs on the forums aint going to solve anything.

Okay, but would the data (e.g. tents, vehicles, gear) be moved over to the new IP/Port? The reason getting this server now is such a big deal is that we've had a lot of our members grow very interested in the game in a short time - and we're all spread out over a variety of servers. They all want to get settled down on one server to be able to play together, kill each other, etc as soon as possible :P They've already been waiting a while, so I'd like to have something up and running as quickly as possible :)

When we switch servers, we all pick different ones and check the surrounding vehicle spawns that are marked on http://dayzdb.com/map#3.041.111 . and search for, basically a reason to stay on that server. With the in-game map not allowing for squad specific markers (It shows your markers to every player in the game, not just your friends), we find that the in-game map isn't safe to use, so we use that one. Since we can't use in-game markers, that map allows us to be like "I'm north about 150m of the high-value barn west of X-town" That's how we've found all of the broken down vehicles (except the bus near the hacked vehicle cache, and the helicopter on the island (which isn't even marked) were pure chance). The UAZ and ATV cache (which we still think was hacked) i just happened to see while passing along on a road

The map needs an invisible wall or a giant fence or something. On my server, i am in a group of 9 players. But there are no cars, no bicycles, not motorboats, nothing! Instead we found huge camps with lots of Loot *evilgrin*. We are roaming the server for a week now and all weve found concerning a vehicle was an old Hatchback, in the midst of a forest near the map border! So, of course other players had the car, and thats completely okay. But whats not okay is that many ambitioned Players are so ambitioned, they put away all the vehicles from the map and put them somewhere into the middle of nowhere, Kilometers beyond the maps border! Why? For trolls sake, i guess! Just to make sure no one else will get a grip of it. This_Plain_Sucks! Indeed i think a helicopter should be able to cross the borderline, but only when he is in the air! Once he lands on the land beyond the border, the players AND the helicopter should be killed/destroyed/despawned! Yes, Dayz should be a hard game. But also hardgames must work within some rules! And since most of the players arent capable of controlling their inner troll, i think rocket should do something about protecting those players who still see a game to have fun with in Dayz, and not a place to troll the guts out of all the other players around them! Vehicles are an important part of Dayz, and nobody should be able to put them to rest 30 kilometers beyond the maps border, save it there and then laugh about the other players who are madly looking for one, especially since theres maximum number of vehicles "active" anyway! Rant off

must have been a hacker too, yeah? impossible things N' shit. Hacks To whoever has the chopper on US196, please let me borrow it for a day. I will bring it back full of fuel and not a scratch on it. I have some CQF vehicles to find and i'm really tired of the bike's clicking wheel noise...

Hello, I've been playing this game for about 2 weeks and have a few questions on some items 1. Tents, Where is a safe location to put some? and is there a way to relocate one you put down without remember cords if you dont have a GPS? and is there any glitches i should be aware of? me and a few friends are trying to find a few to stock some supplies on 2. Vehicle, where are good locations to find decent cars or trucks that arent super dangerous to get too? and how do you repair a car? do you need to find an engine? and can ALL vehicles be repaired? 3. High end gear, Where are best locations to find a few GPS, Rangefinders, NVGs, Ghilles, etc. 4. Also, would are a few gun combinations for a squad of about 5-7 people to carry that would make us pretty decent at looting a town or city with little trouble? we always play on 30+ player servers and have run into a few gun fights that have no ended well and want to know a few good guns that could give us an advantage If you could answer this that would be a great help, we are decently experienced, but having a hard time getting high end geared.

Tbh, The dayZdb map is totally wrong with the vehicles sadly. Use the southcoastbeanwars vehicle map instead ^^

Great story. I haven't ever experienced any of this before, I haven't even seen an admin in a server where I've played. Guess it's better that way, you'll never know what the admins are gonna do. How the heck did you find so many vehicles though? I've played DayZ for over 100 hours now and I've only found 2 tractors, a small boat & a hacked ATV.

Just a couple answers. 1. Anywhere not suggested by someone outside your squad. Try to find a dense forest area with low traffic. 2. http://dayzdb.com/map you can find vehicles at those locations there assuming someone hasnt grabbed it and stashed it somewhere. 3. http://dayzdb.com/map also has loot spawn information but to break it down a bit; Heli crash sites, Deer stands, Military loot spawns (Airfields for example), and Camo/Ghillies can commonly be found in the local Bars/Restaurants found in major cities. 4. A couple snipers/overwatch, someone with a CQC weapon to cover the immediate area of the snipers (and preferably with a range finder to give estimates on the fly), and the rest of the crew on assault with CQC weapons to raid the town. Hope it helps a bit. Happy hunting :rolleyes:
