To all players on US 362, we will be wiping our server this weekend & changing it to Veteran mode to help reset the vehicles, tents, ect.. Everything will be back to default positions. Sorry to anyone who's got items in certain location, but we want to clean the server & restart to ensure all players start out the same. We do hope you continue to make our server your home & your welcome to join our community & become a member of AGW (ArmedGlobalWarfare.com). We are currently building up our player base for Arma 3, we could use players who want to be part of a community that continues to grow. We will be hosting PvP campaigns once A3 releases.

There might be a bug with Vehicles. We repared 2 Vegicles and ne helicopter on one server and two vehicles on another. The hid them and saved several times ofc. After a server retsart on one server the vehicles were unrepaired at the spawn point again and on the other no car at all ws there. After another server retsrat on this one all vehicles including helicopter were at the spawn points again unrepaired. Happend on two servers so i guess there might be something broken in general

I've had that happening with several vehicles I've found.

We have 6 vehicles on a server we play on, and we do need them all when your group has about 15 people. A ural, V3, motorcycle,UAZ, and 2 pickups. We need it for storage, and transportation.

I'd also like to see more vehicles, I have driven a tractor and quad bike in game, they don't last long anyway, my tractor ran out of fuel and i flipped my quad bike

No this thread is meaningless because the server will be down within the month. If you have issues with the clan or what happens with it feel free to post on the community forums instead of in this thread. Im done with this thread, nothing is going to be changed. Bans are set, we raided your duped shit near Novy, Alz gave us the location. I find it intriguing that we all have camps and Cik and myself have our own in which we rarely see something dupe. Maybe thats because we save our tents, vehicles everytime we modify the contents. We have tents down, they don't magically just stack ontop of there selves after a server reboot, infact we spent a few hours trying to find tents recently. Please explain to me how you placed 25 tents with multiple areas piled upon each others on accident. I'd say thats about 20+ oops that tent duped scenarios. We have had 3 tents at our depot camp for over 2 weeks and none of them magically just spawned a new tent. Either way, as I said, this thread is pointless. We ban for hacking, I know maybe the term is a bit ambiguous in a sense considering this game is riddled with numerous ways to do this. Or what you may consider a hack. That is why we are moving to a more stable game that hopefully isn't plagued by carpet bombers, thunderdomers, oops I duped a tenters, teleporters, item spawners, sheep, cow, changers, instant health 100% buttoners, ect ect..... The list goes on and on. Quite frankly im tired of trying to weed out whos doing what. I had an easier time finding hackers in other games that didn't require me to perform brain surgery and a CSI investigation in order to prove someone cheated. And I sure as hell don't feel the need to explain myself as an admin everytime I make the choice to remove someone from a server that is paid for.

I'm honestly not sure. The only thing I can find in my logs pertaining to vehicles is the things like the following; _id = player spawn spawn 01.08.2012 01:52:28: Not Stoupie (ip address ommited) - #36 icopter" || _v iskindof "plane") then { _v setVehicleInit "[this] spawn BIS_Effects_AirDestruction"; I'm not really sure what I'm looking at, so I don't know if they can be used to track vehicles, but I think not. All of them seem to be recorded when players interact with vehicles.

I personally prefer AS50, it has more stopping power and is quieter than DMR plus it's great at disabling vehicles. If it's night time in the server and I have nvg's then of course I would use DMR since it's the only sniper rifle compatible with nvg's though my favorite sniper rifle in dayz is SVD. :)

Any way to contact the admin? We spent the 3 days building up our camp with vehicles and stuff and I'm really disappointed being banned for no fucking reason.

I think that more common vehicles makes sense, because vehicles are common, but seeing as this is post apocalyptic, there shouldn't be a working car on the map, because working cars would've already been stolen, instead it should be easy to find a vehicle and then the focus should be on finding the parts; going to industrial areas to find engine parts, searching through the shacks on the outskirts of towns for the windscreen glass, running up to a barn for a jerry can, filling it up on the way back, and then, only then driving off. It'd make people stop hiding their vehicles if it'd be a better use of them to drive around for spare parts and it'd provide a different gameplay aspect when fixing cars. Do you leave the car to find the parts? do you try and team up with someone? Do you lie in wait for some poor soul to fix up the car, shoot them and then drive off? plus it'd stop the KoS in larger towns if the person running past you could be the friend you need to help patch up a car and get the hell out of there.

use search function... what do you want to kill? people or vehicles? if people than m107...

So hacker came into my regular server from my stream (someone on TS said a name of a guy in the group) Killed us all, smashed our 10 tents, destroyed chopper, vehicles, all of that shit. However, since I didn't freak out and delog, at the end he "spawned" a bunch of vehicles and weapons to my camp. Question is how do I know if the vehicles are able to be used, second, I had NV, Range finder, GPS, Ghillie prior to him comming in, however lost in the ocean where he spawned me. All the gear he stuck on me after is stuff I already had, Can I get in trouble for using it? I spent 3 weeks with my group getting our camp set, can I be banned for using all of the equpiment he "replaced" after destroying my camp?

This. I don't think vehicles should be less rare, but they should be more resilient and some of them should make less sound. I also think that a vehicle doesn't need as much storage space as it has now. Just some places for a jerry can or two and wheels(and only that kind of items), else it's a riding tent.

I have 4 vehicles on LU180, never seen you guys only seen a ural which I pursued and was ambushed :D

This is my clan's "base" where we keep a few vehicles. We don't really care about losing the bus or van so I decided to turn them into a base of sorts (mainly just to look cool). The sandbags were found when we raided a tent city, they were most likely duped but who knows. I found this thread when I googled dayz bases, I'm sad I couldn't find any cool ones but at least I can share my creation ;) Funny note: The captcha to upload this photo was "braaains" :lol:

I think they do count as 1 in tents, even if they take 13i23i2 slots, so maybe in vehicles too.

Im a survivor. Ive literally killed no one since I started playing this game. I mostly stay North and run away if I see anyone. Although Im packing some of the better Military grade weapons Im tempted to start moving towards being a bandit. But Id like to understand other mechanics a bit better like vehicles etc. Surviving is pretty difficult right now, particularly because of food/water being a little scarce. I recon towns heavily before I enter but I often find snipers and obvserve them and won't hit the town unless they go away. The main thing I want to achieve right now is the map. I really don't know where I am often and I want to know the map much better so I know where I am headed. But Im losing faith in this game ever going anywhere.

My story; Been playing Dayz now for about 3 weeks, had some nice gear come and go, nothing top spec but some nice things amongst the empty tin cans. My only issue was I had never seen or even heard any vehicles, land, sea, or air. I first chalked this to the fact I mainly stay along the coast and have read that people like to stockpile and hide the vehicles in remote areas. Well two days ago just on a fresh spawn I came across a boat and a bus on the beach next to the factory, just north of Solnichniy. I figure theres very little chance of them spawning together so must be someone stocking up, rather than scope the place for any activity I sprinted for the bus and jumped in the drivers seat. Fully repaired and fully fueled, yes! Hoping to not be noticed I make a break north along the coast road in my shiny new bus. After a few minutes I hit he road end at Berezino. I turn the bus south west hoping to double back onto the coastal road via the south part of Berezino. I reached the supermarket near some military outpost but the road was blocked with vehicles and anti-tank girder type things. I tried to reverse the bus out and do a 3 point turn. Needless to say I go tthe ass end of the bus stuck on some rubble, I tried dislodging it but it wouldnt budge. I bailed out leaving the engine running which was a mistake as all that did was attract around 15 zeds to the engine noise. I made a break for the supermarket and lost a lot of blood in the process. Out the back of the supermarket I ran all the way back to where I picked the bus up from. The boat was still there! Oh joy, I ran to it and it was fully repaired just out of fuel, damnit. Not that bad because I am always finding car parts and fuel cans, so I thought it wouldnt take me long to find some. I spent two hours searching and finding no fuel, how ironic. Eventually I found some in, I think, Kamyshovo, dumping some good gear to make space. My hopes were up, just praying the boat was still there. I ran along the coastal road not worrying about the nice train of zeds that were trailing me. It will be OK when I reach the boat, I thought. I eventually spotted the boat in the distance and knew it wouldnt be long till I would be cruising the water. I reached the boat, put 20litres in and jumped in the drivers seat, engine on and..... that was it, the engine wanted to go, but the boat was stuck on the beach and would not come off. What a waste of time. Karma for stealing the bus I suppose lol. Maybe I could have used the bus to push the boat out, who knows.

What I'm really confused about is they claim they have no camp, they claim the people were in there helping with the server, and they also defend this by saying " We had the decency to post to you, run your own server and tell me how it is" blah blah. What would be really nice is if you could touch base with us on the supposed camp you dont have southwest of black mountain in a triangle formation of trees in the middle of the field with perfectly aligned sandbags and 10+ vehicles in it, over 30 ghillies and nvgs as well as many many weapons. (thank you btw those went to great use). Now we raid player camps on a daily basis to get our gear, but what I find absolutely hilarious is that as soon as it was looted, 3 hours later there were signs it was being moved, 2 hours after that the camp was almost gone, and then an hour after that the server was locked... we all know the rest of the story after that. I'm really tired of hearing people complain about hackers and about scripters ruining their server and about this and about that yet when we kill a clan member on a server they will roll it back... when we kill an admin (with proof, don't give me this bullshit we don't have proof. I'm not one to make accusations without it.) and the server is rolled back. I'm not going to cry wolf and go ADMIN ABUSE, ADMIN ABUSE!!! But lets face it, you dont want to encounter script kiddies nuking your servers? Dont buy one. Period. It really is a pain in the ass you can't just say yeah, we did it and we are sorry. We don't give a fuck that you free farmed gear and that you are trying to defend yourself with all of these stories (Really loosely threaded by the way, please try harder next time to think before you tell us 8 non admin priveledged users needed to help you fix the server, as well as locking the server doesn't really do anything to stop scripting/hacking besides show them when the server is up they can just come back.....) My absolute point at it's finest is fuck off with the excuses, and just admit you locked the server because you are really pissed your camp was pretty much raided for all it's worth, and that if you continue to make camps such as that we will find it and destroy them from now on. There is no point in lying when there is blatant proof you violated the terms of service. Nobody gives a fuck what you were doing during the lockdown, we're telling you that you broke that TOS and the rules.

Remove tents. Duping is still possible with vehicles but you can destroy/steal them and there is only limited amount of vehicles in one server. Try destroying a tent just to see it spawn again in next server restart. To make it even more "harder" lessen the item slots in vehicles. Have something againts my solution? Go see yourself. Server: FI 3 IP:5.9.6.41:2502 Location: 108/79. Location contains +40 tents with i.e. 20 coyote backpacks, 70 ghillie suits and all the weapons you need + basic survival stuff. Just gear yourself with L85A2 AWS and AS50 and go deathmatch. And in the next restart the stuff is still there! YAY! GEAR FOR EVERYONE! Not the kind of survival mod this used to be/I'd like it to be. Why I posted the location for everybody to see? Maybe when everyone runs around in full gear Rocket("It's not the mod, it's the engine") decides to take actions. And because the restrictions to tweak the engine removing tents should be made a temporary fix. Seen this suggestion before but decided to post it anyway. Because this needs to be fixed to make the game enjoyable again. Loved playing the first 1,5 months, past two weeks haven't been so great.

You went onto their TS. To steal their Chopper. Then hide it OFF map? That's pathetic. Never hide vehicles off Map.

It would be kinda cool if for some vehicles you could team up to drive them. One to drive, a few to shoot out windows, A group of 2 or more should be required to fly a helicopter Maybe some skins for Friendly, how long you have survived, massive zombie kills, things like that Rocket said in a interview that he is trying to make endgame content as well, because once you get all the cool stuff the only thing to do is just kill people. I would like to see some sort of unlockable skin system, for weapons, vehicles, camo. This could be achieved by killing zombies, time survived, finding mountain dew cans, things like that. I know it's not "realistic" but i'm ok with venturing off the path slightly

The tent thing was probably a bug. Sometimes, especially after server crashes and automatically restarts, it seems to fail to get the proper information from the hive about tents and vehicles. That bug is fixed by restarting the server again, which is most likely what happend if I were to guess. I'm unfamiliar with the mosaic problem though, is that when the building graphics bug the hell out, almost blinding you?

So we took our PBX and drove it to the island whereas we found a nearly complete fixed Helicopter. The people that had repaired it weren't there, so we got the main rotor assembly that was missing, got the fuel, and the windscreen glass. We united with another youtuber, and we went searching for fun(more or less) as we were looking for boats by the coastline. We did find some boats, but also some vehicles. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZUbBWT1qyc&feature=plcp

The vehicles are there, you just have to look for them.
