DMR 2-shot kills people over distance, but it fires pretty rapidly and you can usually get the two shots needed to kill off in around a second. Ammo is a lot more common than the AS50/M107. You can use the NVG goggles with the DMR though. AS50/M107 1-shot kills people and disables vehicles if you hit a vital part. They're extremely loud though so if you're not going for those long 1Km+ shots then you're gonna have to be ready for zombies. It's also a lot bigger than the DMR. AS50/M107 however can zero in on targets, making sniping a lot easier. The DMR has two set zooms/zeros that you have to figure out as you use it. You just have to choose which weapon suits your playstyle more.

meet friends, check indu. spawns, sweep for supplies (hospitals), find vehicles. Really pends what's on the agenda for the day.

I don't often post threads of this nature, but unfortunately sometimes it is necessary due to the problems myself and other players within the group I play with have experienced playing on US 1543. The first problems were nothing too serious, a bit of combat logging and some ghosting but nothing unexpected. Our group found a few vehicles and as such we started to frequent the server more often. It's been fine for a few days and we had had no problems with them until today. One of our group discovered their base, within which 2 of their tagged members {PAF} BoomPow and {PAF} Foxtrot, as well as another untagged player named Matthew. At first they were firing off shots at will, seemingly random which seems a bit unusual as ammo for the particular weapon, an M240 (I believe) is not a particularly easily obtainable item in large quantities. After a few minutes of this random firing Matthew was killed, although the three of them within the group had been running around. Our friend who had been maintaining over-watch on their base then found a player right next to him and subsequently was killed. This is where things got really interesting; I met up with a friend who had his motorbike that we were going to go north with, upon getting on to the motorbike a black SUV teleported in front of us with both Matthew and {PAF} BoomPow inside it (PMC addon SUV), seeing this I immediately opened fire on the two of them within the vehicle - Matthew was killed although even after 8-9 shots {PAF} BoomPow was still alive and had time to take his M240 out and kill both myself and the player I was with. By no means am I clearly stating that {PAF} are a clan of hackers, although an explanation from a {PAF} member would be nice to clarify this situation. EDIT: After respawning, we were greeted by the welcome sight of a UH-1H over Elektro, which proceeded to mow down any, and everything with little care for ammunition consumption. They landed, carefree, in the middle of the town and a member unloaded who then killed me, you'd think that one would take a little more care of a helicopter in-game. Not the best behaviour from a clan.

I'm thinking it could be a good idea to turn DayZ into an ArmA 3 Expansion, something costing an extra $15 or something, instead of calling it a... mod, it could be something official that Bohemia can market and advertise. And 100% or near of the money made from the Expansion could be given directly to Rocket and his team, as DayZ would undoubtedly with its reputation give ArmA 3 a lot of sales, just as it did for ArmA 2, that got the attention of Bohemia for sure. And made them quite a bit of money. That's probably the easier option, almost like becoming a standalone game within another game, a step up from a mod, and eliminating the costs of getting an engine officially for a fully standalone, just a paid mod really. And with Rocket actually getting money for DayZ through sales, he can bring in people and pay them to dedicate some of their time on different areas of the game to tailor things to DayZ, get mappers to modify ArmA 3 maps etc... I think he had some volunteers come in an do animation for him and such which was awesome, but not everyone is going to offer their time and expertise for free. Standalone would be great, but I'd guess it would come with a lot of startup costs. ArmA 3 in whatever way it is used, offers 99% of the content off the bat, the engine, weapons, vehicles, physics, models etc... Then DayZ can take those and just expand on them, like an expansion :D And if was given the title of an Expansion, with help from Bohemia it would probably have a proper installer, ArmA 3 would be prepared to embrace DayZ, instead of as a mod needing to pretty much plant the game into the game files and do a bunch of crap to get things working, it would be properly recognized and easily installed into the game. It took a lot of faffing around to get DayZ working lets be honest... and to go back to normal ArmA 2 it involves more faffing around to stop DayZ automatically running. Expansion > Mod. Or standalone, but you know, that's a different thing altogether.

Plus, the restart of the mission tends to kill vehicles/tents if you don't do it twice. Not sure why.

BobaFett's trainer. It is what absolutely ruined Diablo I and then Diablo II when he released an updated version for that. I quit playing D2 after my lvl 80-something hardcore sorc (if you die, you die - no tents or vehicles to save your gear) was killed by a lvl 7 Druid right outside of town. His lvl 7 raven hit me once. Ironically, the Arma2 engine fucks up in the exact same way the Diablo engines did years and years ago - the code trusts the client. Really, really stupid. Hax will happen anyway, but when this associate-in-game-design mistake is made it really opens the door for the shit storm. Arma2 took it a step further and allows any client to run scripts that affect the entire connected populus of a server. Who thought that would be a good idea? Honestly? Please don't say the attachment line. Pretty please. It's such a cop-out excuse for problems that aren't being addressed. To me, "let go of any attachment" means, "nobody gives a shit about trying to fix these game-breaking issues." It's the same as saying, "dude, this is an alpha". I understand this isn't a finished product. I've got unfinished coding projects of my own, but believe you me if one of them had a flaw that fucked people out of hours and hours of their time, I'd be fixing that issue first. I'd at least acknowledge the presence of the issue and give status updates on getting it fixed. Ermagerd, another reddit/4chan child. Your signature clearly defines the motivation for your "just ignore the hax or go away" stance. Making oneself heard doesn't solve anything, but one combined with many others will at the very least command additional attention to the issue. Complaints can definitely be constructive, especially in the Cheat Reporting forum, where we are now. Posts such as yours quoted above define worthless.

I hope you're a bad troll... they're over peoples vehicles which they hide/hoard up north a put theyre gear in when they cant use it at the min

Hehe agreed. I think its hilarious when people complain about getting killed at the NW airfield.... its like come on really? You havent read forums enough to realize to just stay away from there? heh. It's getting pretty damn hard to find vehicles. I imagine its the clans just hoarding. Haha I know im just complaining in this forum.. Ironic... but I'm tired of all the damn clan posts on here.. Literally everyone needs the group mentality... Can't people just solo or depend on themselves? I'm all for small groups, but I'll never be a clan person.

We took those vehicles good sir. The mystery machine was snatched awhile ago, same with the v3s. however someone stole our v3s not long after we took it. We did reaquirre the v3s last night though. Hopefully now you know who to vent your rage towards good sir. I look forward to being shot in the back of the head by you or your friends at a later date! good day sir.

Reset doesn't do it.. I ran over the tents and they where unclickable, i then rebooted and stopped and started the server the tents came back with the items still in them. The vehicles were only able to destroy by driving them into the water.. Once such self healing vehicle I just drove off the map because I was nowhere near the water. I'd love to know exactly how to remove items from the game that are found to be hacked.. Even if it means I have to power off the server for x amount of days. I have a zero tolerence rule for hacks on my server.

And then after a full day of building a sweet structure, a hacker logs on and puts 12 satchels in it. My group had a heli and several vehicles in a camp, and someone logged in, teleported straight to the heli, and then tried to do a loop. At the top of the loop, he jumped out and nose-dived the chopper into our camp, blowing up everything in it. While that's "funny," I suppose, it really sucks that hours and days of legitimate effort can be undone by one jackass who thinks it's hilarious to ruin other people's play. I'm getting apathetic about trying to make anything even semi-permanent since idiot script kiddies can just undo everything at the drop of a hat. It seems like having a vehicle makes your camp more of a target for hackers than anything else. I haven't died to a legitimate player in weeks; it's either been invisible hackers with satchels or accidentally getting shot by a teammate.

I agree they should be totally removed. I am not a fan of them and at times i'm frustrated with vehicles but I have been using two of them so to have non glitchy storage since our tents seem to either not work or be stuck on the contents they have had since the owner died.

Sometimes tents and vehicles don't appear after a server restart. They should reappear after a another restart.

Of all things people dupe, why not sandbags and other creative tools to help build something actually creative? People just dupe the lame stuff like high-end military equipment. How does that make the game more interesting? Everyone complains about the lack of tools to do stuff in this sandbox but can't seem to take their eyes off of the gear. It's all about the gear. Dupe tools instead. Build a big ass fort and people would stop objecting to the duping as much. This is what Rocket means when he says we should make our own rules and police the world with our own creative minds. He must be sighing at the mindless obsession for the gear. If we want to make the game fun, we have to do the right things. 1. Set up a couple of tents. 2. Dupe nothing but toolboxes, entrenching tools, sandbags, wire and tank traps. 3. Build a big fucking structure. 4. Organize a community to maintain order and structure within the 'facility'. 5. Take strike teams out to travel and explore. 6. Collect and repair vehicles. 7. Collect supplies, tools and everything else needed and avoid duping that shit. 8. ???? 9. Enjoy a unique, player-driven experience in this sandbox. Edit: Not that I wanna promote duping, but who's gonna stop players from doing what they are already doing anyway? Duping sandbags for example could even result in something good; like Rocket taking note of what adds to the game (provided he didn't expect it). Sandbags are way too rare in my experience. I have yet to loot a single one in over 200h gameplay.

Can a server fully reset wiping all of the saved vehicles and tents on it?? All of my well hidden tents and vehicles in different locations are now gone. Is it possible for admins of a server to wipe everything? Also, this server has been acting really sketchy, the admin literary shuts the server down when he goes to sleep lately, Is this against dayz server rules?

This happens, I GUESS when there is some sort of update or major change to the hive, all vehicles and tents disappear. But when the server is restarted after the update, they are once again loaded.

The small castle of Zub, just south of Vyshnoye, has a closeby water supply, and a town to raid for food & a fuel tank. There is a steep hillside in the west that could be covered quite easily, and the rest is more or less open ground. Easy to set defences and see groups approaching, and quite easy to reach by vehicle. This one is head on my list. Stalisty Island (South east) could be interesting, but it's too far from ressources like water and food to keep a population. There would be a need for a smaller outpost in Kamyshovo for fuel for the boats, but it's too easy to shoot from the hills down on the town. The small castle of Rog (Just above Kamyshovo) could offer good enough protection, with a lake a klick down the hill. The mountain is steep enough for people to have trouble reaching it when not using the "Road", and there are a few observation posts, but it's surrounded by a forest so hard to see people approaching (though easy to get out of it, and unsnipable). It's possible to reach it with vehicles, so just a few tank traps should be enough to prevent too daring raids. Pusta has a water pump and no way to sneak on it with ease, and a counter sniper would be needed to cover the hill above. It's quite close from Cherno and Elektro hotsports though, meaing many people would probably be willing to take the risk of an assault. But then, they'd have to regroup, and that's cool. The castle in Black mountain is probably the best "Big" castle, quite close to a town with a market and the airstrip, but the closest reliable water supply is the dangerously empty area of Gvozdno with it's lake and realy open spaces. The view from the top tower is magnificent though.

I must disagree about the admins locking the servers. I'm sure some turds do, and should be blacked. The thing about "clans" is Organization and numbers. I had 10 people to spread across the map and seek out vehicles and car parts. If you are looking at vehicle spawns for vehicles you are most likely Not going to find them. In a serious non trolling matter, may I suggest you comb the western and northern borders of the map? You are much more likely to find all sorts of goodies there. You're welcome.

Vehicles, from my experience, can still perform with a red engine indicator. It is highly Un-recommended, because the slightest bump could blow up the vehicle, and you inside of it. Just a tip: Do not drive vehicles on bridges or docks, both of them are very glitchy, and you could flip for no apparent reason.

Server restart bug, when the server restarts if it gets restarted "too fast" IE: people join really quickly after it comes right back up it causes tents/vehicles not to load up for some reason. Happens from time to time on the home server I play on. Just have to wait until next server restart for them to reappear. As for your missing ATVs check the area around where you last saved them. I had mine show up a week later after it vanished after a server restart 200m from where I saved it.

hey all, so im 25, from the UK and need some people to team up with, im tired of being a lone survivor out in this tough world, so im after a group to join or others to form a group who wish to join me. my goals are simple, and thats to find and build a base of operations, find and restore vehicles, fill our base with supplies. maybe in the future perform more tasks as the game grows, but for now i think thats all. must have a mic for communication, my steam and skype name is lem1winks. look forward to hearing from you

See my bug report thread on this issue here: http://dayzmod.com/f...ing-items-1715/ been happening for awhile. This last patch was suppose to fix the issue (supposedly over a million tents now and the database is having issues with that, I guess they didn't plan ahead for it) but that was SUPPOSE to be fixed come 1.7.2.4 but it hasn't been fixed and the bug is still randomly affecting tents. I've found this method out - it's lengthy but is a good way to make sure you don't lose anything you want to keep: Pitch a tent Put something useless in it bandage what be it save tent 2-3 times to be sure Wait for server restart If tent is empty on server restart try another item YOU DO NOT CARE ABOUT LOSING save tent 2-3 times - BUT if tent is NOT empty after server restart try adding another item YOU DO NOT CARE ABOUT LOSING and save 2-3 times, sometimes tents bug out and will only keep what was first saved in them. Follow steps below. Wait for server restart If tent keeps item(s) you're good to put things in and save now - other wise tent is bugged and will not work. Lengthy process, yes but the only way I've found to make sure a tent is "stable". I have been lucky with vehicle storage so far though and I am starting to rely on it more than I am tents but since vehicles are prime targets it's a risk.

Then the people shooting at you are fucking terrible, I've used the editor, and it takes one shot from a sniper, 6 from an AKM and 2 from an enfield to down a chopper, run the math there, they obviously can't shoot. Also, why would you want to remove the chopper? If it takes away from the game for you, DON'T USE IT! Let someone else have it, hell, give it to me! I've never seen a single vehicle in this game, and I've been playing for over a month! Not a single hacker nor vehicle. If you prefer to use land vehicles, blow it up! Or give it away and stop bitching about it. Seriously, if you don't want it, get rid of it, or are you just keeping it like a hoarder? Having it but not using it.

Brezmans if you're interested i can tell you a camp location our group found weeks ago(could have been gone by now) We were going to raid it after it gets bigger but our groups got somehow seperated these days, so it's untouched yet. There were a few vehicles a traktor and 2 buses if i remember right. And not far from there a boat camp where all the boats are. Although when we checked recently the pbx was gone and some vehicles as well. But there's still loots there for ya guys. Oh btw, which of you is the one who put that 2 tent in the 004 line. somewhere like 004 046. I remember fighting a hardcore d/cer there.

Could be worse. We've never banned or kicked a single player off our server. We have had our camp raided and had to relocate many times. We've had our vehicles stolen many times, and not one server restart. Then a couple of noobs steal our vehicles, park them less than 1km from one of our camps, we steal them back. Then they go onto Reddit. Post our server and the location of our camp for 30,000 people to read. Claim that the admins are cheaters and used a vehicle hack to steal back the vehicles. They talk about non-existant admin abuse, and that everyone should raid them because they are cheaters. Our server has been overloaded with cheaters and reddit users "getting revenge" for the last 2 days. We haven't shut it down, banned, or kicked anyone, but very tempted. 3 teleport hacks in 1 hour is bloody ridiculous. All because of one little butthurt player who lost his vehicles after stealing them from someone else.
