Tonight I saw an invisible man who turned me into a zombie before killing me, server-wide leg breakings, mass teleports/firing squads, vehicles spawning everywhere (including a boat on top of the Balota air control tower), my friend spawning in at random places all over the map, and the usual hackers gearing themselves up instantly. If I hadn't already resigned to messing around along the coast without worrying about trying to acquire fancy gear, I'd be pretty annoyed... I agree there's not really any point in trying to play seriously right now.

I wish there were more vehicle spawns or like less time for vehicles to spawn. Like Maybe instead of the 7 days of non-use the vehicle despawns after 2 days of non-use. It seems there are never ever any vehicles in the game servers even in the ones with like 10 people.

So before i begin i would first like to say i was a huge fan of this game. No game has ever made my heart beat so fast or my hand shake so bad it became a real challenge to aim. The adrenalin rush this game could provide was amazing. And now its gone.. Yes i realize this is an "alpha" and a mod. But to be honest i cant remember any game alpha or not with this many eye gouging flaws as this one. And yes most of the flaws come from the Arma engine. At this point there is no reason to play this game, unless your a hacker or a sadomasochistic and love to waste your time. Lets start with the simple flaws shall we. Worst inventory system ever used in a game i have played. Why this hasn't been fix i have no idea. Is it to fuckin hard to make it so if your bag or main inventory is full it will drop it on the ground instead of erasing it? At least you might be able to get your shit back if you overfill a vehicle... maybe. How about making it so when you press G you can see your main inventory and your bag?? Thats to hard i imagine as well... yes yes i know how to work the inventory but that doesn't mean i haven't lost quite a few things on accident or before i knew how it works. Zombies.... need i say more? Wrong engine is the wrong engine... Vehicles are amazingly weak, why yes i would like to pop both front tires and break most of my shit if i run over a wooden fence. Lets not even bring up the best of them all the ATV lol??? You can just take that out of the game for now. Bridges, trains tracks and even sometimes the middle of the fuckin road with nothing around for miles can make that piece of shit do flips. While your add it you can remove helicopters again. Found 2 and both went down in a fiery death. One due to a server restart with no warning the other a hacker which clearly stated he killed everyone to bring down the chopper after the fact. I cant believe anyone will have a legit chopper for long. Not to mention once you get a chopper its becomes roughly 1000000 times easier to gear up due to finding crashed choppers or ganking other peoples shit. The snowball effect is horrible. Remove barbwire from the game, or at least give it a 2-4 hour time limit before it despawns. Graphic glitches plus the annoyance of every single fucking building with anything important is covered with it.... L85 and ghillie suits need to be removed as well. Not being able to spot someone 10 feet away while looking right at them or the reverse and being able to spot someone in cherno if your at the NW airfield is pretty bad.( relax that was a exaggeration) I personally think camo is about perfect for this game. A slight color change but doesn't turn you into a small bush. The ghillie suit is more my opinion and the L85 is just blatant bullshit that should of never made in the game. And last but not least the hackers... How many times i have died in from hackers this week = 20 at least How many times i have died from a legit gun fight before the hackers could kill me= 2 How many times i had to abort before being killed by hacker that felt like teleporting everyone together =5 Mind you i never alt F4 except when i am 100% sure theres a hacker involved How many times i have seen someone hacking is off the chart, i lost count a long time ago. I will not pretend to know how to code a game but all this money you have made in the last 3 months you think you could of hired some of these guys to actually protect your game...its become so blatant that i can almost grantee you if you log into a server with more than 30 people there will be a hacker in chero or elekro within the hour. I hate to say it but i am done with this game for now. I would love to play the stand alone version in 6-12 months but for now all i can do is hope Warz isn't the piece of shit i think it will be. Thanks for the good times and lots of luck to you in the future.. you will need it.

Now you're just changing subject, you said it was unplayable which isn't true as I just said there are lots of server which are perfectly fine. So okay fine thanks for guaranteeing me there is a possible thread of hackers on the servers I play on even though this goes for every server. I've been playing Dayz for two months now and I've maybe seen two hackers spawning in some vehicles.

Yes, it's a real shame that hackers can ruin this mod so much. Me and my friend were playing yesterday and started driving from the north to the south for almost an hour, only to get teleported to the NWAF by a hacker when we were about to have some fun at Elektro. We were lucky enough to not die, but we have lost the car for sure by now (a White GAZ containing a M249, M16A2 M203, NVGs and useful spare parts). Things like this makes me wonder if it's worth to ever try to repair something like a helicopter or invest much time into vehicles to have fun with them while hunting players. The hacking problem definately needs to get fixed, but I don't think there's much that the DayZ devs can do about it.

The leader also uses hacks to locate vehicles and people. Don't ever join Omega-6 unless you're looking for your enjoyment of dayz to be halved

Don't bother joining the Omega-6 server. The admin will not hesitate to restart the server whenever their clan is in danger. Their vehicles are indestructable (will fully repair when you exit them) and hacked weapons are to be found on them. I've also heard some mention that the leader will spawn vehicles. I know of someone who saw all vehicles spawned along the coast.

whenever i hit any of the buttons on my number pad vehicles and weapons spawn.... weird.

My server is CONSTANTLY getting hackers, it's ridiculous. Every day a new hacker comes on a seriously screws up the server. We haven't had the thunderdome or anything, but hacked choppers, vehicles disappearing and now catching on fire, and items being teleported while we're looking in our inventories for ourselves, vehicles, and tents, are simply disappearing. It's aggravating.

Don't bother joining Omega-6. The leader acts like the clan is full of professionalism, but the leader is arrogant and can't take constructive criticism towards himself or the way the clan is structured. They hoard vehicles, saying it's the privilege of owning a server and their vehicles are full of hacked weapons.

I can attest to this, altough Obvious.Hacker also acted somewhat childish towards the clan leader, but the leader had it coming with his arrogant and childish attitude. I am not part of the clan, but I have been playing on the Omega6 server. Vehicles are indeed indestructable, jump out, save the vehicle and it's fully repaired. And when I found the clan camp (NE small patch of forest, very easy to find) I destroyed their vehicles, a long with several hacked weapons (the admin/leader even asked me to give him back the destroyed hacked weapons). Avoid this server and it's clan. The leader is childish and will rage at any positive or negative comments towards him. Visit the forums and see for yourself. This is a forum post I made introducing myself, and being greeted with a very childish admin.http://www.omega-6.co.uk/showthread.php?tid=128

you saved the tents after right? vehicles / tents all respawn with the loot that had in them (last time they were saved) on server restart

Enormous pile of vehicles (3 boats, 3 choppers, 5 or 6 bikes, 3 or 4 ATVs, 3 GAZs of different colors, a UAZ, a Pickup, a Ural, few others) all stuffed full of uber gear (ghille suits, M4A1 silenced, various sniper rifles) all piled up just north of Elektro (within sight of both fire stations). Discovered this as 2 other people ran up and treated it like being totally normal, grabbed a car and went their merry way. Then about an hour later me and my friend driving around were teleported out of our truck across the map--from a road by Zelno into the middle of the forest, sans truck--into a firing squad of silenced weapons. Not too annoyed about dying since the car/gear we had was definitely duped by these guys, but just wanted to post this blatant server of hackers. This definitely wasn't some solo guy just nuking a server; think they specifically teleported us to them because we had taken one of their cars, and there were 3-4 different sounding guns blowing us away after the teleport hack. Sorry I didn't take any screenshots, but I couldn't have made this up until I saw it, lol. Edit: just popped back into the server to see how bad it is still and try to grab a screenshot. Looks like all the colliding vehicles piled up blew themselves up, only thing left intact/not taken was a solitary bus. Still a roving group of about three trolls shooting everyone around there with AKMs and M4A1 silenced, so they clearly knew about this hackspawned area too. No nameplates on the server or I'd offer names.

lol yeah its tough for everyone no matter how good you think you are, expect to die at any moment since the image in my last post i rejoined the same server my bus was gone so i trekked across the north section of the map for about an half an hour to the camp where i first found the bus since i knew there was more vehicles there, area was clear lloted some jerry cans and a ghille suit got on a motor cycle and headed out again on my way back encountered a guy driving some shitty car, he got out as i tried to wizz past him but he managed to shoot me to bleeding i have no clue how he managed to keep up and shoot at the same time but he did and headshotted me while i was bandaging some 3 miles away from first encounter within 5 seconds im abit sceptical about my death this time it was as tho he was chasing me and drive by shooting which isnt possible in dayz he would have had to have some sick long range weapon and be an epic marks man with the distance i got and how quick he got me, but yeah thats dayz for ya and i guess he desperatly wanted that motorcycle back

I'm around 22 days or something. That life started by meeting a friend that was keeping my last body warm (Died to a glitch on a slope). I had a DMR, M1911, knife, hatchet, map, rangefinder, some medical stuff, and we had a tent with an LMG and lots of supplies + a van. The group plit so I turned lonewolf. Found two small camps with lots of stuff in tents (but didn't seem hacked in). Emptied everything and put them in my own tent, and just told friends I don't play with to loot that tent. Found a NVG, a gilie and a Kobra in those tents (+ all the stuff I left in the other. Bizon and many other guns). Did several raids in NEAF and kashimiro. One of the raids was bad, and I got shot, but not killed, by automatic fire (Dusk). I think it was a hopper since I never found the guy for payback, and I healed myself with meat. Someone asked for medical assistance near the three valleys, healed him with a bloodbag, got a M9SD. Never found ammo for it so just threw it to the bind a few days later. On a suicide attempt, I went to cherno to take out some snipers. Found none, but sniped zombies chasing several guys, nearly hitting one of the players. At that time I had a AS50 I thin I found at a crashsite, but I can't remember. I went into town, and found an ACOG, so I dumped the sniper. Wen to the coast, found a ship, filled it with a bit of fuel, and went to explore the island south-east of the map. Nothing interesting, went back to the coast. I then proceeded in raiding all castles for a bit of sightseeing. Kept a few guys in my sights passing by, never shot any. Then went for NWAF at night, and ended up meeting a group raid of 6 guys in run and gun mode. Impressive to see hat at night: The guys just ran, kneeled and shot zombies as they spawned. I hid in time and thanks to my clothing wasn't found out, I then bailed out in the opposite direction. Since then, I've looked all around the north-west of the map to find camps or vehicles, with no results. I'm currently planning a raid for the Green Mountain.

We also have some problems on our server, vehicles turning into other vehicles and gear is not saved like it should. I wrote support tickets to the dayz team and gamed!de team, maybe they can give me more informations about these problems. We also have some unplanned server restarts or what ever it is. Just random happening from time to time, but it is annoying. Maybe it will be fixed in the next patch.

alright these forums are filled with retards this isnt the first thread ive made exposing tent cities it wont be the last thread i make exposing tent cities if legit sorry to hear :( can try back during the day as they dont have vehicles to move gear anymore

Lol? I know this is not my business, Did you seriously just... say he didn't not log off in combat? This just proves to the community that you are lying. Also Rocket did say logging off in combat is an exploit and considered cheating there for a bannable offense. Again, if you really want to play on that server again I recommend filing a ticket if you are proven innocent you will be unbanned, if not your ban stays and also most likely globally banned for spawning in vehicles.

I have a question to expand upon OP's question though. Will more vehicles ever spawn? When my clan went to purchase a server we camped at the ural and v3s spawns and neither of them were there. However later in the day we found the Ural near vybor fully repaired and abandoned.

Couldn't find any other topics on this, so here goes. I know that loot and zombies don't spawn/delayed spawn when the player is traveling in a vehicle and no other players are nearby. What I'm wondering though, is whether other vehicles spawn when you are already in one? If I grab a bicycle or small car and go scouting through all the common vehicle spawns, do I need to get out of the car and wait around for a few minutes?

Vehicles do not have delayed spawn. They are generated through a script upon server creation and stay there until moved or destroyed. I know this for a fact because I found one on my home server then found an empty server on the "Creating" screen. The second I loaded up the vehicle was in the exact same spot on that server with no zombies spawned yet.

yes vehicles spawn from server start and never vanish theyre there no matter what

Most of the time my group only plays when I'm either on the server's TS3 or playing myself so I can halt the server when a hacker pops on. Tonight for example we had a guy jump on in a zombie skin with an AK shooting at people, we killed him kind of by accident (he popped himself into the supermarket we were in and was noticed). He came back showing up on thermals for a bit then went invisible shooting green, red and yellow smoke grenades and a M107 at us as we were fixing up a bus. Funny stuff but... "save the bus, server shutdown" and wait the 4 seconds required for script kiddie #191238 to lose interest and latch onto the next shiny server. We've done this only in cases where it's obvious. In this instance the guy was rapid firing smoke... about 20 or so rounds of it, looked kinda cool.. he did kill one of our group before it became obvious it was a hacker. I'm loathe to restart or halt in any circumstance but that crap, Thunderdome, A-10s, etc etc... yeah server halt time and we go play a round of a mech game or a tank game or whatever then restart and the server fills back to 30+ within seconds and we go on enjoying the game. We've had vehicles and tents wiped out a number of times through hacker activity when none of us are on so that's probably the only instance where I'd prefer a password or an effective anti-cheating mechanism.
