Helped two admins of the server (Bobo and Faded) get the best gear and a ton of vehicles in 3 days and all I got in return was constant kicking and a ban at the end. Enjoy! First location is in the northwest.

Anyone know if these spawn normally or come in hacked vehicles?

Lolz ive never seen an hacker the entire time ive been playing. And ive been playing for quite a bit now xD. Ive seen hacked vehicles and stuff but ive never really got killed by an hacker

Only 4th? Pff... pff newbie. Me and my friends have found all weapons, lots of these crash sites, all items ( even MOUNTAIN DEW) and all vehicles... except motorboar ( black one) :D I cant find it! Hate that!

Sorry if this is the wrong forum, but there are so many topics about the admins on this server (LU 131) that I wanted to share our experiences tonight. After following a chopper North East, one of our group stumbled upon a camp with 5 vehicles and 10 or so tents, which were being guarded by one of the FNL clan members. He decided to wait it out as there was no chopper and after a while he disconnected, so our guy moved in and found the chopper was there behind a small mound! He jumped in and took off, as the rest of our group made our way to the co-ords. At this time there were no FNL members on and we managed to liberate 3 vehicles and have some fun with the chopper. After about an hour, 1 FNL member joined and he was quickly joined by another two, after which the server restarted. We had saved the chopper and the vehicles we took though and they didnt revert to their camp. We were fully aware that they were going to get their stuff back one way or another and by knowing how they have acted previously we thought we would do a fly by on their camp and take out as many as we could. This ended as we expected thought, with everyone on the server being kicked once they had sight of the chopper. tl:dr Admin abuse on LU 131, QQ for loosing base. http://i.imgur.com/H63Ls.jpg http://i.imgur.com/8O2Zg.jpg http://i.imgur.com/RORUk.jpg http://i50.tinypic.com/15dp6vr.jpg http://i50.tinypic.com/zsvud.jpg

The only way this could ever occur is if Nighttime servers were "Worth it" so to speak. Increased loot drops, decreased zeds, more vehicles...something to make nighttime servers more viable for players, rather than "Yup, I can't see unless I make myself a giant target with a road flare. Better switch servers."

Let me just stop this debate about "oh you can or can't use hacked weapons" YOU CAN! Learn to read. I linked to this in a previous post in this thread, just shows you doubters DO NOT READ COUNTERARGUMENTS. I'll just leave this here. http://www.battleye.com/support.html And for those too lazy to click and read it there, No one is banned for using non-hack programs (like Fraps, overlays, etc.), picking up or using hacked in-game items, weapons or vehicles, being on a server at the same time as a cheater, or other passive non-cheating activity. Therefore all requests mentioning these things as possible reasons for the global ban are ignored.

Vehicles spawn as soon as the server is up and stay spawned, so yes you'll see vehicles.

You'll see other vehicles (newly spawned too) in a vehicle.

Since zombies and loot do not spawn when you approach a town in a vehicle. Do vehicles spawn? I'd like to know if i should use my time finding a vehicles on foot or if its ok to drive around if I find a vehicle to find more vehicles?

Wall of text. TL;DR s in the title. My own experience: I've died about 7-8 times, having played this game for about two months. Half my deaths are to zombies, because I was a complete nitwit when I started playing. The other half is to being shot. I don't know wether that is good or bad compared to the general populace, some of my friends have died well over a dozen times, but they take a lot of risks because they think it's fun. I have a ghillie, an AS50 rifle with 8 mags, GPS, NV, rangefinder, everything. I've found and had vehicles, the only thing I have left to aspire to is finding a helicopter and flying around like a bouse, I've even trained for the occassion. But here's the thing, even if I did find one I'd just get my mates and we'd fly to the popular areas and kill every living fucker we'd see. There is literally, nothing else that's exciting to do. That and it's fun to kill people, because we all know some of them will be the carebear whiners we all love to hate. Though let me tell you this, I have killed far less than I could've done. Some times I notice the shitty gear on someone, and I just don't bother. Other times, confrontation is too risky and not worth it. Many of you will go through this, people DO see you but avoid you. You just never know because... they avoid you. So you died today? Here's the major reasons why people die. 1. You went into Cherno. 2. You went into Elektro. 3: You went to the NW airfield. 4. You went to Balota airfield. 5. You went to the NE airfield. 6.You were running whilst standing up. 7. You didn't have a clue. 8. Bad luck, you ran into someone. 9. <----All in all, the reasons most people die is because they take risks. Risks equals death or reward in this game, you better get used to it. Your two enemies in this game are zombies and other players, it's most likely you'll die to other players more than zombies because the players can shoot you. But why would they shoot you? Because they're noobs or because they've got all the gear they could ask for, like me. Noobs shoot you for the chance of getting better stuff. The geared people shoot you because there is NOTHING ELSE TO DO when you have what gear you need. Look for vehicles? Yeah you could do that, then what? You could hoard items, then what? Now that duping and hacking is rampant, gear is hardly a good enough reason to kill anyone anymore, unless you see a guy in a ghillie. I have several hoard tents I can just go to if I die and respawn, gear means nothing to me nor will I kill anyone for it. I will kill for the rush of the hunt. The only excitement left is to hunt for other players. The hunt for players is unpredictable as fuck and a real adrenaline kick. Even as I crawl through a throng of zombies, my only real worry is if another player see's me doing so. An example is of me laying above Stary Sobor today and spotting 2 companions going north together. I scope in on them and watch them, to determine where they are going and why. I see them approach a deerstand when all of a sudden a gunfight breaks out between them and another guy coming from Stary behind them. One of the two companions dies, and at that point I have located the third person, the killer, sitting behind a bush in perfect view and shooting distance; And I kill him. I lay there for 10-15 minutes more, I see another guy coming by but he never gives me a clear view of him so I never take the shot. I decide to move away, and I do. 20 meters away, someone starts unloading at me from behind, I get hit once but I survive. THAT, is the thrill of the hunt. THAT, is what I play for. But what about cooperation? What would you want to cooperate to? What would be the end goal? What is the purpose of risking cooperating with a complete, anonymous internet douchebag? When you achieve your goals, when you get your gear from possibly cooperating with a stranger, what then? You will eventually face a situation with zombies or most likely survivors, where you WILL die. And that touches another fundamental problem in player mentality: A lot of player can't handle dying. You will die, no matter what you do, you will die. Especially if you're a new player and don't know your way around. I cannot overstate this, count yourself as dead from the moment you spawn. Get rid of your pride. Drop that lootwhore attitude you got from World of Warcraft. This is an alpha of a modification, gaining and keeping gear is completely insignificant.

For holding fuel? If your atvs FT is broken then they are. I spent a few hours looking for an engine part yesterday after finding a fuel tank and four wheels as well as scrap metal, but even with four of us scouting with 3 vehicles we still couldn't find one. I think FTs have the same low spawn rate so yes they are, and best to stock up on.

Hackers have been attacking the US 106 NJ3 Server for about three days straight. We have had over 5 hackers in the past 36 hours who have: -Blown up our camps -Blown up our vehicles -Teleported and killed us -Killed all players on the server at once -Been invulnerable -Been invisible This makes the game pretty hard to play as we die every ~4-8 hours all to hackers. We are at the point where one of us dies to zombies or actual players rarely, maybe one of our 15+ man clan per day. Dying to hackers is extremely frustrating. I get the game is "alpha" etc but the extraordinary measures that our admins take to fight the hackers are heroic but excessive and unnecessary. The point is the hackers can have their way with us on a level that rivals any dedicated servers I have seen in any game or genre. We are tired of the hackers and we want some targeted and effective measures to fight them. There is no joy in losing all your gear to a mad little child with scripts and a pile of Arma keys or even a BattleEye workaround. Bump if you want better admin features, better protection, and better script detection. Bump if you've died to a hacker or had your camp blown up. Bump if you want the rampant hacker situation to be directly targeted and dealt with properly. Bump if you think maybe someone other than rocket should actively handle the cheat prevention and hackers while he focuses on the real features and mechanics. I'm not mad, I'm just tired.

Well, guys. My server started for good, last week. We already found a chopper, and a few vehicles. But I don't remember if the main admin already updated. The vechicles and tents(except for one of them) are saving as they are supposed to. What I don't know is if we update it will wipe all our vehicles. This is right? Or we will get our vehicles? Sometimes on server restarts we get a bug, and they do not reappear, and after a few restarts, sometimes only one(specially if made from the server ftp) and all is back. Is it normal? If we update we will loose all the stuff? It would be nice if someone can answer this for me. We are hosted at Vilayer. Thank you all

I was playing with a few friends on UK5 a few minutes ago. Most of them were at the coast, but me and a friend who had spent a good 3 weeks on our characters were in the forests to the west of Mogilevka when we encountered the player. At first, there was nothing there. We always looked around or surroundings while playing, and this time was no different. The area was clear and he just appeared in front of us. We opened fire as he was aiming and I shot him 6 times in the head with an M1911 and my friend opened fire with his AK74. The guy definitely should have died, but he didn't. He one shotted me and I died straight away while my friend took the chance to log out. My other friend who was in Cherno about 5 minutes prior was telling us over Skype about this guy who was flying, spawning vehicles on top of him and spamming grenades. This is presumed to be the same person. I'm not pleading for my character to get 'restored' because, well, that probably won't happen if I did, but I'd like this hacker to get found out. I regret to say that I didn't catch his name as it is a veteran server, although if an admin acts quickly, he should still be on. I'd also like to state that I'm furious about this, and I know that won't help any, but I want this guy taken care of. Thanks. *EDIT* The estimated time of this event was around 10pm GMT. My player name was Jake, the friend with me was Matthew and my other friend who found him first was alex.

I can set up automated restarts already, its not really an issue for me. I use BEC. The issue is largely that the game is doing something I've not seen it do on our server before. There is absolutely no server side lag whatsoever, bullets go where you point them...you can move around with no issues, driving vehicles causes no problems, but anything that requires a save state or update state is taking upwards of 3 minutes or more to return a response.

Ok everyone, the base is set up now and we have acquired multiple vehicles. We just need a more diverse range of roles before we are operating on full gears.

I just want to leave few short comments: The first helicopter you see in the video isn't us and the admins comment was directed at it. Someone was flying another chopper so we chased it with our heli but ended up getting shot down by it. When you blow up/crash a vehicle it kicks you. (script restriction 55, bug with dayz) That's what happened to the spy when he back-stabbed the guys in helicopter. You're just trying to blame it on admin because you lack proof for all of your accusations in the vid. You're spying on our forums so you know this already. Sometimes it even kicks the whole server. We crashed two helicopters into each other and everyone from the server got kicked for the script restriction and noone could join until server was restarted. http://i.imgur.com/U6FnN.png [embedding doesn't seem to be working] Title is misleading since you never blew up the chopper and the two miscers you were fighting against had it back right after you left. But good job dave man, nice vid and I hope you come back to get your jimmies rustled because this game is getting boring. Oh and by the way, was it you guys that got killed by a single miscer with 400 blood and broken legs when trying to raid tents+ural? Intredasting. That would explain the weird shit happening with vehicles on server. Will aware the server owner. Other settings need to be fixed as well, like the gay crap with map showing locations.

I know the Arma 2 Editor is powerful according to Google; can anyone direct me to a website on how to use the editor or a download link to find one already setup? I want to set up a shooting range along with vehicles that exist in DayZ to get a feel of how it all works. Not sure if this is too off-topic or not, but thanks.

First, there is no way to contact the admin of the server, which is kind of suspicious. Then I found this camp where they were hiding vehicles and right after i left with their Hilux, server got shutdown, Restarted, shutdown again and again until i gave up. Up to that point, I could only guess server was having issues and I wasn't lucky at all. Then I meet a player running into a GAZ car same forest a bit further after the server restarted for good and kill him. His mates log in/come from whatever direction and start engaging me, I flee. (note, there was also a red bike at that spawn) Calling my mate and checking the vehicle, what do I find in the car? A M4A1 HOLO SD, which does not exist in DayZ. After going back to my camp to regroup with my friend, a player spawns in the middle of our vehicles, starts the engine and then disappears again. After fighting them for some time in their forest, seeing two of them disconnect after being knocked out, We decide to leave for good and head back to our camp. After this, I get teleported in the middle some road, 3 guys wearing ghillie suits aiming at me, talking and shooting me down. Shortly after my respawn on the beach, my friend opens the map and sees a note entitled "nigger here actually". So it seems they can track me wherever I go, now I'm afraid of letting my friend come pick me up but they probably even know my friend's position. I'm not sure if I want to play on that server again, but as I am pretty sure they're spam-restarting the server on purpose to spawn vehicles, I would really appreciate if you could take a look at this server activity. Two last things, one of them was named "Pascal" and also most of the players on the server got kicked a few times with the "script restriction: error 55" something. Hope that helps. Edit: Now I get instantly kicked whenever I join the server.

Yeah the server I've been playing on has been getting hit multiple times a day. Pretty infuriating.... Might have to play something else for a while even though I don't really want to. Finally found a decent group of guys to play with. Spend a lot of time repairing vehicles just to get killed by an invisible teleporter. Every... Single.... Time....

Strange it takes you nearly 24hours to upload this video but we have to wait till the weekend for the full 'uncut' I suspect your going to 'edit' the full version so it looks like your better off then you currently are, Unless your pc is 10 years old rendering doesn't take long at all, I can render a 60min video in 30minutes at 1080p, The video you uploaded provides no proof at all about you being kicked until the end, If you had been kicked before you would have got the box up, What it does show is you finding a camp, not spotting any other players, talking trash over direct com to no one apparently there? Your friend is then killed and then you and one of your friends in the video can quite clearly been heard saying there going to server hop to a better position, so really all you've done is dig your own grave regarding that, so imo the ban stands you was clearly server hopping to get an advantage. You are also aware that when a server goes down for a restart that flood control kicks in once it comes back up? It appears you aren't in your 15minute rage video, You can see this when you log back in and look at the player list, I hope you are also aware that auto restarts of servers sometimes don't come back up correctly be it tents / vehicles don't spawn etc so a good admin will down the server within minutes of spotting this to get it back up and running correctly. TLDR, OP states he's server hoping for better position, gets butt hurt when banned for it.

The other day, I was noobing my way around on the coast and happened upon a bicycle. Being the first vehicle I'd ever seen, I naturally leapt onto it and proceeded to make my way up and down the road, Queen playing in the background, having a grand old time as the zombies chased me around. ...Do bikes require repairs, or is there a button I was missing? I was barely able to get it up to running speed on pavement and it took forever to accelerate. Is that just how they work, or was I missing something?

Hmm, it might be server/vehicle dependent then. We have a lot of vehicles on different servers and all of them were still at their locations with gear in them - I checked on several of them early this morning. For the most part we only keep ATVs/bicycles/motorbikes as they are so easy to hide.

Hey guys, We're currently playing on ES8, But we have not found a single spawned car (repairable) at any of the spawns, we've been looking for about 2 straight days.. And not a single ride. Is it possible that the server just does not spawn it? We found a rebel camp with a 2 cars and managed to take 1 of em, but we're finding it absolutely impossible to find a new one. Wich is really starting to anoyy us. Is this a known bug? Or does the server perhaps not spawn them? Or?
