OP first off all see me as nutrale sinds i dont know either off you guys. I am also hunting camps for my guild to raid empty. I have found 8 diffrent camps on diffrent servers and iff i just look at your poss Jrock attached then i have no other conclusion that you arnt realy original. I have found 6 out off 8 around that area.... and btw he say they looked for 2 hours and in those hours it is possible to search that whole area especialy with vehicles in that camp... Tips = dont place your camp were 75% off the people place there camps. ( just beeing stupid.) Dont place your vehicles and stuff on the same location. (makes it a easy to spot camp) Get people to protect the base at all times (snipers are key.) Chooce a place were a person would have to cross open field to get to you, there are plenty off those spots in the game were there is a mounten with tree's but the surrounding is empty. (perfect place to protect. and normal player dont go up there because they will stay in the tree lines to avoid getting shot.) For the Hunters that cant find bases on german servers look at places i just discribed sinds those germans arnt that stupid xD. i was looking for about 16 hours on a german server and finaly found it north off cherno in a mounten i discribed.

Hey guys, I have been playing DayZ for about 3 weeks or so now and I have been enjoying it quite a lot, although I have never really had a successful life. Basically, this is my story about what happened to me today as I lost my best life yet (by a very long stretch) to what I believe was a hacker; I will post details and maybe you might know more about this than me, so you could help me out by putting closure on that life. So, after having travelled up the map with my two friends, and visiting NWAF, we were pretty kitted out with and L85, M240, M4A1, NVGs stuff like that. Then, we decided to set up a camp on top of a hill overlooking the Podeba (I think) dam in the far North of the map. It seemed safe as from the dam you couldn't see our campfire and it was forested over. We had a few tents and then we began to find vehicles, we had in the end 3, which, considering as I have never found one before was quite cool. Moving on to the last couple of hours. We all spawned in and met up at camp, after having been out collecting supplies in our truck. We parked up in the forest and saved all the vehicles, then proceeded to sort out our tents and that, getting ready for our next 'outing'. We were there for about 20 minutes, we filled up bottles at the dam and had some food, then all of a sudden our vehicles disappeared. About 20 seconds later, as two of us went out to investigate, I think some sort of turret appeared and mowed us down. My other friend D/C'd and survived but surely that is not legit? It was nighttime so maybe I am wrong but it sounded kind of like an AS50 but automatic.. Needless to say I was pissed; What I think is a hacker T/P'd to me only to kill me, he doesn't want my stuff just wants to piss me off. He succeeded! I took the respawn and changed servers, I felt as if the original (De 695) was 'tainted'. I was near Elektro and I went in towards the church. There was a bus near the church in poor condition but a dead player nearby had a wheel which I took and attached to the bus, so it could move. I took it to the Elektro Industrial Park near the coast and fixed it up, but in the process I was shot, which broke my leg and made me pass out. I was unarmed so I guess he wanted my bus. However he never came to my body or finished me off so when I woke up with about 118 blood in crawled into the bus and took off towards Cherno where my friend was. On the way, my friend told me over skype that he had been sniped; tbh I was getting tired of this random banditry and felt like leaving it. Then, as I continued along the road, a guy with a Makarov ran past and said he was friendly. He could have just shot me for my bus but he agreed to help me by giving me blood and morphine. So we went to the north Hospital in Cherno and he fixed me up, I offered him my bus to thank him but he turned it down. This restored my faith a bit in the DayZ community, because that guy could so easily have ended my life and took my full condition bus off with him for his needs. Now my character is in the Cherno Apartments, I hope this life can go better than my last. tl;dr - Got killed by a hacker on a good life, found a bus in elektro nearly died (118 blood) met a friendly on road to Cherno who fixed me up without killing me for my bus. Faith restored.

So with 15 seperate reports of cheaters on the server all day since this morning, day changing to night and back randomly (didn't think this was possible) teleporting, every single camp on the map being destroyed and all vehicles destroyed, even the few regular clans who escaped their bases destructions being magically found no matter where they went... Server will be down until I can fix an Exploit I've been informed off that lets people get admin access and bypass BE and Antiscripting. (our regular admin has found himself banned) I need to go through the scripts log to ban the offending players, until then the server will remain down. Sorry :(

holy crap, haven't found the vehicles I looked for, but someone just flew over my head @ Dubina mountain.... Scared the crap out of my 2k health ass

Battleye is useless. It's stupid that they even require it. If people are going to hack and not be either kicked or banned, what the fuck is point in having an anti-cheat? And yesss, you're so right... My group has been chasing vehicles for the past 3 days. We'll get the vehicles, hackers will take them, we'll get them again, hackers will take them again. It's ridiculous honestly... I wish a legitimate player would fuck my group up and take the vehicles instead of some pussy script kiddy porting them across the map. Stop sucking dick. The only reason you'd state an opinion like that is you just started playing, you're a script kiddie yourself, or you're just wanting to disagree with someone.

OK the scripts.logs is empty of anything usefull, looks like they had bypass working. We'll have the exploit fixed though and updated all the ban/script lists =p Sadly the usualy bypass and map hacks will still be active so there is no point us telling you all to move your camps, we'll just have to put up with it for now sadly. We found 3 Tanks at the airfield and are trying to figure out how the hell we can get rid of these.....no helicopter though =p I guess we'll keep our ears open for the update around sep for when they start giving us news on the stand alone that should be more secure and admin friendly. It's only a few months I recon until a "hive reset" anyway with a new stand alone release so we aren't getting too attached to kit and vehicles but we still want to try and keep our server reasonably stable for the regulars! Good luck vehicle hunting. Server is back up for now, still vunlerable as all servers are but it's a secure as it can be at least and we'll continue to act on reports of cheats asap.

My group has encountered multiple clans of hackers.One of us happened to be online when a group of hackers leveled our server, and they let him ride with them while they did so. They were talking as if pretty much everyone was a hacker. They were building a thunderdome when a few of them got banned from the hive. I ran across a small clan that I was going to offer a couple favorable trades to in order to be welcome to run with the group… until I realized they were hacking vehicles in, and magically knew where everyone's camp was. I've been massmurdered, teleported into the sky, shot through walls, killed by invisible teleporting hackers, and my vehicles have been satchel charged from helicopters. Hackers aren't rare at all.

Your Real Name: Darius Your Screen Name: Darius/Ultim Were Are You From:Illinois Your Age:14 How Long Have You Been Playing Arma: 2-3 months Did You Start Because Of DayZ: Yes Do You Have Any Recording Software: No Do You Have A Skype: Yes (FallenDG) Can You Be A Leader: Yes (If everyone can hear me, over the chaos ) How Regularly Do You Play Arma: I just updated so i plan to play 2-5 times a week ( if i am accepted) How Well You Work With A Team (1-10): 8 I have played with a friend before but not a group Why You Would Like To Join (4 sentences or more): I would like to join because when you are alone, your chances of survival are slim but in a group you can get vehicles and live longer than the estimated 30 to 60 mins.Without a group you cant give each other blood transfusions. In DayZ there are alot of bandits and bandits dont mess with groups. It is also fun to see how other people react in certain situations.

We don't ban anyone for having a non legit item only if we catch you spawning them =p The red car is legit, we have one, it's slow but a 4 seater =p The Offroad is awsome but only seats 2 :( Nothing we can do about the vehicles sadly as they are all hive synced. If cheaters locate them/move them there is nothing we can do about it :( That said we experimented with the CLI RESTART command to start the map afresh (all tents and vehicles despawn) and we did see new vehicles spawning. We then did a proper reboot of the server and the old vehicles/tents came back as did the extra vehicle we found but the next day the extra vehicle appeared to despawn so....not sure =p

cbb watching the video but, tents come back with everything they had in them the last time they were saved on server restart and vehicles respawn 100% fixed at the location they were destroyed. you cant ruin any tents by just destroying them. you have to take all the loot out, save the tent, then find a way to make the loot disappear.

Hold up there kids. I'm calling you out on hacking/cheating. Not insulting your mothers grave. As for you, JRock, connecting you to them was easy. Our offroad had disappeared, and was spotted driving through Stary- where Coby was dropped off mid-town (who met an end by our hands, mind you). We found the offroad later with your body next to it. We assumed then you were with them. We're not saying you're hacking in items/vehicles, however with the ease of which you repeatedly found us, I am accusing you of editing/removing files from your client to remove trees from your game, at the very least.

I agree very much. Right now surviving is just about remembering to eat and drink while looking for vehicles and camps with your group. Last three lives now I´ve managed to have high-end gear the same day I started the life. All my deaths excluding the re-spawn suiciding by gang rape were because I got a bullet in my head. Right now I have everything I need and I have no interest in going into cities or towns. In my opinion tents and vehicle storage should be removed until duping ends. My group raided a 10 plus tent camp that had ridiculous amount of very rare high-end weaponry and equipment. I mean there were around 8 Mk48 mod 0, 4 BAF AS50 antimaterial rifles, 4 M4A1 CCO SDs, 3 rangefinders, more ammunition to any weapon than I have used in my entire DayZ history and the list goes on and on... It is just ridiculous how easy it is to get the "rarest of rare" weapons. AS50s to me are just as plentifull as revolvers and M1911s. It´s a pity this game is so easy. At first I thought to myself that this is awesome. I had never played a game so exciting. But then I got the hang of it. Just ignore the zeds a get your loot. Right now the zeds are not a threat in any given way. Loosing them is very easy when you know the tricks. This game has to be made more challenging and surviving oriented or I´ll lose interest. More surviving, less just looting.

They should be back on another restart I've noticed sometimes upon server restarts vehicles aren't spawned at all till a restart..

Wiki has 2 other confirmed spawns but i dont believe it http://www.dayzwiki.com/wiki/Vehicles

GEARING UP I've been at it for a few weeks and I'm at the point where I find myself finding it much easier to gear up initially. This is mainly due to knowing where the better spawn locations are at in the game. You are just as likely to die at a low yeild loot point. Hatchets are easy. Despite the risk, when all you have is a single bandage it pays to visit your "friendly" supermarket, hospital and church. This likely gives you an ALICE, at least one gun, meds, food and drink. As soon as I can find matches (hatchet and knife are found much easier) I'm off the coast and head inland. Hatchets really need to be available as a secondary weapon. Crossbows need to have quivers of bolts as ammo. One per slot is crap. Especially with the handgun nerf. There needs to be more bicycles. Z SPAWN RATE Previously my small crew of 2-3 would case an area before moving in and killing the Zs there, then looting safely. Now as soon as they are either killed or kited away, they respawn. This gets you stuck in a never ending loop. Say what you will, this is not "realistic". Once a Z spawns in an area and is killed or moves away, it should not respawn for at least 5-10 minutes. Z AGGRO TYPES Zombies aggro from a tad too far out. Honestly before it was too low but this borders on ridiculous when coupled with the spawn rate. There should be more than one tier of aggro. For example take the current form of aggro which I'll call seek and kill. This is fine for close range. Not as close as it is now though. Sound can be used to draw Zs away, or pull them closer. This needs to be used on a wider range. Weapons need to attract zombies from much further away. Each additional shot should act like a ping confirming their location. Once close enough the Zs will seek and kill. This can be used to create a herd as referenced in The Walking Dead. It can alse deter snipers and bandits. Sure it's easy to pick off a few, but 10, 20, 50, 100 when each shot pings your location? Either way it's less ammo spent on the living. Looking into the distance and seeing a hundred Zs walking in a herd is priceless. Imagine so many that running away or fighting is futile and impossible. Just a wave of death. POST GEARED OBJECTIVES Lets face it. Going bandit is the only safe choice once geared up. The living tend to have more gear than a Z. Either way they would kill you first anyway. Some are against this but are forced into it anyway. So you visit the military camps for better weapons and you check the spawn points for vehicles. There needs to be safe havens where you can set up a base without pitching a tent. Take for example the castles. Radios are not utilised at all. Survivors should be able to find a fixed radio easily and ask for help. Transmission would be received at the closest base. Whether or not that's a safe haven or a bandit camp depends on who has captured the base. But when you're low on blood, food and water and you need help, you take the risk. They may come to save you, or loot you. Factions can materialise, camps attack other camps. If in the middle of that fight a herd wanders through it's even better. Do both sides fight each other or do they fight together for their lives.

All of our vehicles (8 total) were teleported away from us including a helicopter that we were refueling. All that work gone. Why even bother playing? All this effort and even if we spent the 4 hours going thru logs (why is there no tool for this?) More support for the hackers than the players. Ban a hacker and get blacklisted. Blaming Battle Eye is ridiculous and passing the buck. The malicious scripts that are run in this mod need to be blocked unless they are legitimate scripts run at a system or kernal level of the game. I have never seen such hacking ever. Rocket seem to be not even bothered when he got Thunderdome-ed. Been Thunderdome-ed 2X. Been killed in server-wide nuke 3 X. I can go on with times I have been killed by blatant hacking. Hours of gameplay getting to a certain place and then dying to some clown, probably some pimply faced 15 year old running a script. Not picking up a gun and fairly shooting me. Running a txt file. As for the people that seem to be Devs or hired by the Devs to troll the good guys getting turned into Roadkill by the hackers. There are 45:1 Hackers to abusive admins. I have a video of some hackers that were AFK in God Mode that I burned off some clips on. I even RAN them over with a car, or just passed thru them. It seemed that they were dead, But they were probably preparing more scripts. How did I know they are not dead, they took the ATV that is next to them in the video. When I re-entered the game 10 minutes later that ATV was gone.. Great Game, but you cannot convince me that this will not happen with the finished product when the DAYZ devs are snubbing the players and the PAYING server admins. Even having people troll the folks who are complaining, but these complainers want to see this project succeed. No paying server admins, Not enough servers for the pubs and this project dies on the vine. Perhaps we should get the attention of the community and the Devs by and organized protest by picking a day and having all concerned admins shut down their servers for a 24 hour period. Lets see if they shut down my account for this one. The players are concerned hows about the Devs?

mahatmajonny, what makes you think we didn't have some of the vehicles before day two? Also if I find something that I don't want, I leave it and write down the cords. in this case, the tractor and the yellow hatchback. Our plan was to move the base since you found it and I killed you. Also, this base was just a temponary base I did myself to get some items moved since our camp before got exposed as well. The white offroad had been ours for some days and was hidden on a diffrent location. Maybe you tought I spawned the bicycle cuz of the server restart. Since I was at the base when the restart went in and when the server came up I jumped on the bicycle we had at base. You would probaly say that I spawned the tractor if I used that instead directly after the restart..? For the future, please get real proof before you ban. Also, using hacked items is kinda lame yes. But the PDW SD isnt that diffrent from the M9. Also I looked at the dayz wiki and the pic of the PDW had a silencer on it. But still, you can't ban anyone using it.

vehicles save off map, tents dont

Long answer: I have a ghillie, rangefinder, nvgs, svd camo, m16 with acog, ammo for both, m9 sd 5 clips, 5 bandages, antibiotics, blood, morphine, painkillers, coyote bag, I have a camp with additional m4 sd, lmgs, svds and other assault rifles. I got all the tools as well as water canteens. I can basically survive infinitely if I wanted with nothing left to strive for. I've had big camps, small camps, clan camps, vehicles, at one point I had 8 vehicles stashed INSIDE the map. I've raided camps, I've scoured the map left right up n down more times than a small clan of people put together. Short answer: Because there's nothing else to do.

Decent chunk of time, as in the 10 minutes it takes to download and run he scripts? 6 players on a server and vehicles and ammo boxes all over the coast. Pretty sure those arnt natural spawning....

Sorry to hear about the scripts =\..I'm really just an insurance agent "not from Statefarm" and i don't know any thing about scripts but it looks like another language for me lol. Are the vehicles going to be wiped or are you not going to do anything about it and just let them despawn? My friends and I found two vehicles in the middle of no where. A red car GAZ which I didn't know was in the game and a white off-road truck. We took the truck and left the car because we didn't want to get introuble for having something that was hacked into the game. But keep up the good work!

Ah, i have to add a little math task for you regarding the "hoarding" of vehicles. As i mentioned before, we are ~10 people. The server holds 40 players, so we are 1/4 or 25% of the server population. We have...let me think...usually 6 vehicles, sometimes they break, get lost, whatsoever....to make the maths easier let's say we have 5 vehicles. That means that 2 people share 1 vehicle. Are you hoarding when you and your friend have a vehicle? Are we hoarding just because all of us decided to park at the camp? It's still only 1 car for 2 players, not vice versa... Next: How many vehicles are on a server? I never counted them, but we know there are: Ural, Bus, Van, Hatchback, Offroad, UAZ, Landrover, Quad, Tractor, Motorcycle (2 versions), Bicycle. So far 12 Vehicles. Besides the Ural (1), and the Bus (2 i think) all vehicles spawn multiple times...lets say 3. Some may spawn less, some more. So if i take away the bus and the Ural we have 10x3 vehicles left. Plus boats. So altogether we may be around 40 vehicles, maybe some less, but generally you can say there is about 1 vehicle per player. We use 1 vehicle for 2 players. So we make 25% of the server population, but we only use 12-15% of the vehicles....hoarding? Stupid Accusation: 0 - 1 Simple math

I was banned on server US 415 for personal reasoning. I was banned due to falsely accused harassing in teamspeak. When in fact I hadn't been in their teamspeak for about 2-3 weeks and the whole time I was in their teamspeak I was only respectful to everyone in there. Also that has nothing to do with the in game mechanics anyways. The Admin just has a grudge against me and my group to us being bandits and killing the admin a multitude of times. We aren't even hunting him, we just killed him once in a while. We even found a M4A1 Holo SD w/ M203 Attachment on him which is not currently in the game. I made a post on their thread asking why I was banned, and he refused to tell me due to the fact that I was no longer a member to their clan. I can no longer find that post due to him archiving it and locking it so I can't reply. He holds this grudge also because I was originally going to join their clan but I was hanging with a diffent group that was not clan affiliated with them and they made me make a choice between choosing the people who actually played with me and etc, while with UGF I was always going solo for the most or just sitting on the back of the vehicle not doing much. So I chose the people who'd actually play. So because that he seems to be holding a personal grudge against me for some reason. I'm honestly not sure what other info I need to include in this so please tell me what i'm lacking and i'll say so. Also I don't want to play on a different server because this is where we're set up, we have vehicles, a camp with a nice amount of weapons, all of that fun stuff.

Hm. Beans to you, OP. Although you should have started with removing tents and vehicle storage in the first place. That's the best idea on making survival a challenge I've seen yet. It would also help curb banditry, to be honest, as no one takes death seriously anymore and they now use tents and vehicles as what amounts to an "extra life". If every time you died your teammates had to sit next to your corpse to make sure no one steals from it or abandon all of your equipment to escape with their lives, I think the dynamics would change significantly for the better. I know that tents were originally designed to hold all of the extra stuff you couldn't carry, but at this point they've become an exploit (in so many ways). Removing them and forcing players to constantly keep moving in order to survive would keep things fresher.

My base, 5 land vehicles, 1 Helicopter, 1 boat, 15 Tents all fully filled with goodies and neatly organized and perfectly hidden, as well as 10+ other bases on other servers and other areas. We have 18 members so we need enough supplies for everyone.
