vehicles should be traceable in some way (maybe gps update every x hours), that would make it much harder to hide them and give some more motivation to search for them.

No, its not hard to fly around the map flying cars... it just shows youve never done it. above the canopy.. its incredibly easy to spot vehicles. and not to bash on your stash... but.. a few crappy cars and a quad is hardly 'almost all vehicles' when you are missing some of the best offroads there are.. 1, UAZ's 2, BAF Offroad 3, Ural 4, V3S Civ come back when you have th ose! :P

It came to our attention from some players in game, that there was a hacker by the name Matt who was teleporting, spawning items and vehicles, and killing people at random on our server US 891. We were made aware of this at 9pm PST.

i was behind the fence watching you for quite some time. you left a clan member behind as you sped away, who I promptly shot in the head. You should probably destroy that hacker spawned v3s. I satchel-charged all the vehicles spawned to clean them up. It's a nice vehicle, no doubt. i stole the one on US196 from a CQF guy looting choppers; he ALT+F4ed when my DMR hit him. Then you guys rolled the server back and the v3s was gone... but i found it again and took it back. Please stop rolling back the servers each time you get your poop pushed in.

Introduction Why I thought about gathering these ideas is because I saw people trying to get their idea through but it wasnt exactly what it "should" be. In means that they wanted to take out all sniper rifles because they can kill from 800m. I dont think thats fair to people who enjoy sniping. There actually are people who enjoy sniping without just being that kid who snipes in Elektro / Cherno and server hops. Its not about what you restrict, but how you do it. Either you restrict everything (bad) or you restrict some things and shed light on why just those and why are you keeping that. This post should be all about changes I think could help us carve a better world "out there". I. Chapter - Taking stuff out We need to face this, some stuff has to be taken out. Some stuff just doesnt "click" with this game setting. Lets start with Sniper Rifles AS50/M107 - These sniper rifles, as far as I know would be rarely accessible to common people and are very powerfull. In my head, sniping should be an art. An art of precision, prediction and positioning. With this you dont need to get into any danger thanks to its perks. Effective range (The range you can shoot at when you are 100% positive it hits where you aim) is 1.2km, damage of these rifles is over the top versus people and versus vehicles. Vehicles should offer some sort of safety feeling. And you definitely shouldnt be rewarded for not hitting someone, as an example someone shoots abit lower, oh no problem he is just going to "spam" it and hit you in the leg and win. I know its not semi-automatic. DMR/SVD - These sniper rifles are almost perfect in my eyes but, I never liked snipers with spam-options. Well, it may just be my opinion on this but I as I said I love sniping being more of an art, and noone likes art that was "rushed". It has to take some time and it has to impress part of the audience. If they would be as hard to find as SVD is, bring them. Moving on to Assault Rifles L85A2 AWS - This gun is great in its specs and is awesome sounding, it should be in the game but! The optics, thermal optics... I dont really feel it in this game its absolutely unnecessary and too powerful against everyone else. I know, this game should be harsh etc. etc. But, I feel like this is just abit over the top, it is a great counter against Ghillies with their little AS50 but as I dont think that should be in this game either... I think you would agree that removing this would make a huge impact on firefights and engagements. FN FAL ANPV S4 - Again im going to hate on the optics of the gun, even though, the gun itself is perfect. I know I shouldnt because NVGs but lets just move on, ill explain it later. What about Light Machine guns Well, I personally feel like they shouldnt be in the game, because of their power. But if they would stay even if all of my changes would be executed, I wouldnt be mad at all because they have their ups and downs. And are rare enough to be considered not overpowered. And lastly Accessories NVGs - Night vision goggles, do you really think we need them? It absolutely breaks the game when night time, and is mostly why people dont want to play at night. These devices are (I think) very rare in our society and most importantly are powered by batteries. I dont think batteries is the answer (because duplication is a common thing) I think they should be taken out just because it would add so much to the immersion and awesomeness to the game. Imagine a city where you would see people running around with their chemlights equipped, throwing some flares if they needed to. Imagine driving a car, with just your headlights. Try it sometimes, its just stunning. (FN FAL + NVGs falls here) Range finders - Why? Too easy. Removal of rangefinders might just help balancing the sniper rifles among other direct changes to the armory we have at our disposal. Dont forget about the art, if you love playing this game, you love art. Art doesnt have to be just sniping. Ghillie suits - I dont think they should be removed but, they could be. They wouldnt pose as much threat if you would just follow the visuals. Why? Because if you equip your ghillie you "lose" your backpack, well, you wouldnt have to lose it... Lets just limit it to czech vest - I found a way where 6slot czech vest is useful! yay! And why the czech vest? Because if you look at it, it would easily fit under the ghillie, it is not possible to carry a "secondary" primary in that backpack only your needs for survival (food, medical stuff). You could only have your sniper. II. Chapter - Why not add something when taking stuff out? I dont want to break the pattern so lets start with Sniper Rifles M40A3 - The more the merrier. Bolt-action. Theres not much what we can add here so Assault rifles AK-74 GP-25 Kobra - Why not have some grenade launchers from Russia? We definitely need more of them, they are fun to use and kill with. Also they are fun to just have fun with them. :) AKS-74 PSO - A competition to the M16 ACOQ is always good AK-107 kobra, AK-107 PSO - Much rarer, better AKs? I feel like that would hit the right spot against all those Ms G36 C, G36 C SD, G36 A (Dual sights - 3,5x and 1x), G36 K - Bit more variety? Yes please! Mk16 CQC, Mk16 CCO SD, Mk16 CQC Holo L85A2, L85A2 Holo, L85A2 ACOQ - But no thermal! The amount of Assault rifles could make it that sniper rifles would be much more rare and all the combat would be way more exciting. Pistols Sa-61 - same thing as uzi, but a different gun. When adding stuff why just stay at guns? Old moto - A new motorcycle? Hell yes! ...Maybe the Arma 2: Army of Czech Republic will bring us more options?... I think this summarizes what I had to write down, other than bring more map(s)! Now its up to you people to read through this (I know, its long) and give me some constructive comments. // (What I used as a reference when looking at possible guns was This and This ) Sorry for any typos, English is not my main language.

I could care less if people hoard vehicles - it's part of the game. Just go find them and quit whining about it.

gtfo my thread scrub come back when you have something better than a lee enfield and a makarov mkay and raid other bandits and win and steal vehicles from all over the map

Been fighting these guys for about a week now, they put up a pretty good fight... is what i'd like to say. In reality they just die a lot, crash their choppers, revert the server several hours, make Battle-eye server admin announcements about how i'm a bad man, server hop, alt+F4, dupe, script-spawn vehicles, camp Elektro with snipers, etc. Pretty much doing what everyone else, bandit or survivor, does in DayZ. Remember kids, you gotta shoot em in the head or they alt-f4.

Pretty cool man, Having a lot of vehicles is really fun, specially if all your friends get their own. Its really fun at night too.

have fun with that when you find it do what you want i gave away all vehicles but 1 van and my chopper everyones so mad i gave it to my clan mates? i was helping out my friends so instead of playing dayz u come to my thread and QQ xD so butthurt also i HAVE never had trouble finding a vehicle never takes me longer than 2 hrs to find a camp or atv atleast jesus christ scrub. get skillz

Erm. Another lesson learned: Never drive the car if you can't see the road clearly. We've lost many vehicles due to many things, so I'm ok. I've never had a settlement before, so moving throughout the map on foot is just like coming back to my old playstyle. :P Don't worry 'bout the cars, we have a long list of dreams to achieve in Chernarus. :) The most important thing is... "Hey, at least we have the fun, right?" :D

There is no such thing as a friendly server in DayZ. Whenever you move servers, your equipment and locations move with you. They all sync and save to the hive. And actually, finding players is 5 times easier the lower your graphics are set to. Camps (AKA Tents) and vehicles are server-specific, they don't move.

Pretty hard to fly around the map with a huey spotting all the vehicles

He was the only player on the server who stayed in the lobby the entire time the hacking events took place. We (as a clan) have collective screenshots of the people who were killed, and it was everyone but him. We were "summoned" several times to different areas and either killed, offered vehicles, or turned into animals. The server admin was on and observed/ was a victim also. He supplied the above info.

you salute by standing and pressing "\" but i did this with 2 other mates and surprised my clan by giving them each a vehicle dont hate =P having huey is awesome we found every bandit camp and all vehicles xD we blew up 2 boats and 1 atv 1tractor and 1 uaz and i placed all vehicles here, i did not find them

I hate vehicle hoarders...I can understand a few vehicles but thats just lame. Great find anywho. I hope you blew up most of the vehicles. Also, how do you salute?

hoarding like a boss found chopper and raided over 10 separate camps along with every vehicle stolen haha video coming soon before http://img163.images...80112262452.png after http://img819.images...80118384800.png saluting for respect i flew over 12 hours not 1 crash and helped over 13 clanmates with the help of 2-4 good mates.

Looking for some chill people to play with, i'd prefer playing with a smaller solid core than a bunch of disorganized scrubs. I'm looking for a relaxed group of players, who know how to have fun, but also be serious when shit starts hitting the fan. If you think I might be an eligible candidate for your group, feel free to give me a trial run and get to know me before feeling like you owe me some sort of obligation, I understand if things don't work out between us. Now, to why you should want me I'm 20 years old uni student located in US EST, been playing PC games since I was a kid, mostly playing RTS like Starcraft and Age of Empires. I've played almost all most non korean grindfest MMOs, making me rather experienced in keeping my cool when things start to get hairy. I've been playing DayZ since mid may. I'm by no means a hardcore bandit or PvP'er, I kill when I have to, I don't go out of my way to kill someone. I know the ins and outs of most cities, experienced in driving vehicles ( I can fly and land a heli properly without damaging or blowing up, but i'm not the best pilot) I'm self sufficient, I find my own gear, and I don't Q_Q when I die ( I expect you to be the same), my longest life was 38 days. If I would have to define my playstyle, it would be recon/raider, i'm fairly good at finding tent camps/vehicles. I keep track of medium/large size camps treating them like crops letting them grow into a ripe fruit before I come in for the harvest. On an ending note, I have Skype/Mumble/Teamspeak/Vent, etc. If you have any questions, or feel something needs to be cleared up feel free to post it here or PM me.

Had someone spawn a ton of vehicles til' a server crashed earlier. Good times.

I logged into the server my clan plays on and found that all of our camps were wiped clean. We had 4 vehicles to include the UZA, Ural, V3S, and PickUp Truck. Our vehicles were scattered on the map between our camps. Even places that had wire in the doorways were cleared. I ran to Electro on my server and where a bus was once crashed into the Electro Church just this morning, is now also gone. Anyone else know what happened?? Or has this happened to anyone elses home server??

Heh, you're mis-understanding DayZ a bit. The blue and white truck you're talking about is a 'Ural Civillian'. It's not filled with weapons when it first spawns, but the vehicles in this game tend to get horded. Most people hide those vehicles on the edge of the map and fill them with guns that they find after killing people or looting high-yield loot spawns. You can use this map to find the vehicle spawns. When a vehicle spawns, you'll need to repair and refuel it most likely. Hope that helps ;)

I want to thank our greatest fan, Dayz Dan, for reminding me to post this: http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/56188-a-curious-case-us21-vehicles-teleported/ Thank you, without your tireless efforts i wouldnt be the great person i was today.

Gentlemen, This midday, around 2 pm gmt+1, i entered elektro on us 21. At first seeing only a white pick-up, i figured it was a trap, but after that i saw this: My theory is that these aren't normally spawned in vehicles, but vehicles that already where in the map and teleported there. Any thoughts? A big thanks to Dayz Dan to reminding me about posting this, you are indeed cqfs greatest fan:).

Server Name: US 362 (AGW Clan) (Your) Timezone: EDT Date/Time: 8/1/2012 - 8/2/2012 7PM EDT - 7:00 AM EDT Server Administrator('s): N/A What happened: My group and I recently raided their camp site that was placed in a very obvious spot to which the clan responds by locking the server... and I can only assume they are flying a helicopter around to search for their vehicles we stashed around on the server. Evidence/Proof: Here is a picture around 7:00 PM EDT: http://i.imgur.com/jxkU0.jpg These same people stayed on the locked server the entire time. Here is another picture around 7:40 PM EDT: http://i.imgur.com/hQnHj.jpg It seems another clan member has joined the server and has begun looting with them. http://i.imgur.com/Lcs3t.jpg Another clan member has joined the server at 8:00 PM EDT. I cannot start a formal post on the server report section in dayz forums I assume due to the heavy server load it isn't showing new posts. http://i.imgur.com/FkGAc.jpg Another member has joined at 8:12 PM EDT The server has been locked for more than an hour since I started monitoring it. http://i.imgur.com/lT5WJ.jpg 8:30 PM EDT 5 hours later the server is still locked http://i.imgur.com/UPBto.jpg 12:09 AM EDT 12 hours later at 7:00 AM EDT August 2, http://i.imgur.com/iUipB.jpg I have attempted to make contact to the server admin but I have not had any luck.

That was probably some noob reject fixing to get BE banned, using a very low tech and old (from like 2008 or something cant remember) scripting tool, you can download from some forums. (I used to use it to fool around and have fun in the armory, or train with vehicles like helicopter and planes and such before i learned more advanced scripting tools, because it and a lot of programs like it have a lot of preset scripting commands, for very easily spawning vehicles, carpet bombings, teleportation, etc, all kinds of things and the ability to put white or other colored text in the middle of the screen was one of the presets, and you could change the text very easily, but the default text was set to HAXXX.) He was probably testing it out or something, unfortunately for him, its BE security bypass tech is out of date by literally years, i assume he got banned nearly instantly afterwards.
