oh yeah.. forgot to mention. There is also a bug. Sometimes when the server restarts vehicles and tents are NOT there at all. They usually come back on the next server restart. So If your 100percent certain the vehicle was there. Then wait for the next server restart.

Well, basically, what I want to know is how the vehicle saving works on servers now. Yesterday I saved 2 vehicles in my camp, came back next restart and they were gone. I had the same problem a few days ago. I haven't successfully saved a vehicle in about 2 weeks. Someone told me that after 1 server restart, they disappear and come back after a second.. is this true? I just don't get how it works. Are there servers that disable saving of vehicles and tents?

I found a campsite near the north dam. I sneak in there when the guys all go on trips. Often times I have to kill the ONE guard they leave, but other than that it's pretty simple. If I can, I don't kill people and focus on the vehicles where they keep all the juicy stuff. That camp is so big that I can sneak in and grab stuff at night. Oh and I camp on the other hill, watching them run around during primetime. I think their sniper guard might be edging my way, so I'll have to take care of that somehow, but I'm not too worried.

I always have the most fun with guerilla style tents Individual tents randomly spread across the countryside, all marked and filled with stuff I found along the way No vehicles beside bicyces and motorbikes The most mobile and versatile way of playing DayZ Whenever you find something you don't need right now you just drop it off in the tent closest to your location And if it gets stolen...meh....you didn't need it that much anyway if you put it in the tent Definately beats the all-out vehicle and item hoarding with tent cities that may get compromised and flattened in a matter of weeks

Thanks for your feedback. With regards to that list of vehicles, yes its a bit OTT. :) I did stress that there's no way you could have that much shit on a small server/map. Thanks! :)

Hello everyone, I'm Adrian and I'm looking for a new clan. I am 16 years old and live in Canada I play on US Servers only because my ping gets too high on certain UK servers. I have been playing DayZ non-stop for past couple days and I now have 2 vehicles and plenty of ammo and weapons to start a small war. I work well with others and I am alright at sniping nothing spectacular though. I would love to join a clan with others and take areas of the map, I am tired of playing a lone wolf. Message me on the forum if you would like me to join you. -Adrian

Ok so i just joined 2 different servers and the first one i get a message while checking my map you have been kicked! The second scumbag that kicked me was called kasei i cant remember what the server was called but he was the only NOOB on the server! If they are going to kick people when they are the only person on the game why rent a bloody server! i am spending more frigging time looking for a server i can play on maybe just explore the map or something..... Im going to name and shame every person that does this starting from now i will list server and player/admin name!!!!! If you see them in your servers kick them and when they post i got kicked for no reason we can all bash them and tell them to get back to there lonely server and keep whoring vehicles you damn numptys....

I don't think people realize how bad the hording is, the other day I found a Bus, Old Hatchback, ATV, V3S, Uriel, S1023 Van, and a Tractor that is 6 Vehicles. It is Completely unecessary to have that many they also had about 30 tents of gear. I stole them all and made a vid of it lol (stil editing) I've since lost them all to either server glitches or bandits. I know 1 went to a single player the rest i dont know but im guessing the clan took them back which is a shame because i liked that server. P.S. It took me about 1 week of game play spread over 3 WEEKS to find these vehicles, before this i hadn't seen a single vehicle.

Hi guys, Im MrSnowman/Sunnybones from Game/Teamspeak. Let me clarify somethings that have to do with what both sides are asking for, even if the things I must clarify have no benefit towards anyone. A. Hi Map, I did not Tell you lithium was on the server. Do not lie and twist what fucken actually happened because I have it actually all recorded on my stream. I confirmed that Lithium had logged in recently onto your server when you told me that you had heard he was on your server and asked me what I thought of it. I did not tell you He was here. B. I see you are letting him talk in teamspeak. Thats great, however the forums say that admins have to show proof of ban. We cannot, as acezor said on the First page on this thread, provide proof that one is innocent as we the player do not have "Fraps" (I dont even have fraps because you need to pay for it) on at all times. Admins however DO get logs of players and they Do have the proof, so please by all means provide proof. C. Hi Kyle, We should raid the NW airbase later. Why does Lithium want to play here? Because I'm his buddy and he wants to play with his buddy. Why do I want to play here? my camps here. These things are irrelevant to this thread, so please do not bring them up. D. Hey map again, as you can see in the forums, Lithium is banned from the server. Now, I don't know why you want to "ask him into teamspeak" to resolve the situation when you are clearly the cause of a part of the situation. Sure Lithium may be a hacker, and banned globally, which he is not, however you do not have the proof, or have not shown enough proof, to ban him and keep him banned. Instead of following by the rules that you need proof of someone hacking, you have simply just let him stay banned and say "lets talk it out", therefore proving he's What? Oh yeah still banned. E. I see you want his GUID to check the "ban list"! Well, you told me while i was Streaming that he was on the banlist because you checked and his name, Lithium, was on the list. You then proceeded to say, that he must be globally banned because his character name was on the list. When I asked how that works b/c there could be multiple lithiums, you proceeded to say it was his guid that was banned. When i asked you what it was, you said you Did not know what it was. This is all on my stream, so Check it out sometime, and try not to Lie about the things you say. F. "Besides I found Mr.Snowmans camp and raided it with Blue Blur, Whyte, Icey and a few others. There is nothing left. Having a working heli gives us a huge advantage on spotting camps flying low. Im pretty sure any camp not our own has been pillaged." Cool story bro. Idc because i TOLD YOU WHERE IT WAS. Do you remember when I said "oh its north of stary next to Prud Pond?" Well your entire clan knows where it was. So congrats on finding a hidden camp in which I informed you of. Oh yeah, I didnt know admins were allowed to restart servers in order to acquire vehicles back. I dont have this on my stream, but I do have a bandicam video(?) Of you saying that you guys crashed your helicopter and that you'd restart the server (followed by the ingame restart) to get it back. But this isnt the point and case of this thread, so yeah. G. I see you are saying that you are highly praised as an admin on minecraft. What relevance is that to this game and thread? We are not saying you are a bad admin. We are saying that you misbanned this retard of a player, Lithium. Why are you trying to brifocusinng up things that have no relevance instead of focusing on the point? H. "The reason why you were banned is because we believe you or your friend were ESP hacking. Along with script killing Cik." Sup Icey, how're you. How were they esp hacking? The reason why we have this thread is to prove that either A. they did not esp hack to kill cik, or B. they did not kill cik. The esp hacking can only be shown via logs, which have not been shown. As of late, i've noticed that all of your crying about dying have involved "hackers" killing you. Every single time you guys have died at your camp, which is almost the easiest camp to find in the game, has involved "oh somebody has hacked and killed me". Now the only honorable word that I've seen from is from Cik, as he's the only one I've currently seen "hack killed". Im sorry to say this Icey, but your post is filled with assumptions that are made via your own creation. Assumptions with no basis (how do you know how this certain player plays) have no place in a thread seeking truth. I. At the moment, It is the entire Desolation clan, which by the way is acting under the word of Map, against one player. If you have nothing useful to contribute to the arguement, such as Proof, then you should refraining from posting. I dont understand why you're bashing a player who is trying to appeal a wrongful(to him) ban. In addition to this, you guys are not providing anything solid, but just assumptions based on what you heard. Only Cik, Map, Lithium, and Tank, were on thes erver at the time, so its cik and maps word against Lithium (as tank is completely fine with not playing on the server). So instead of quoting your version of what happened, let it be handled by the parties involved. I had to make a fucken forum account just to clear up these misunderstandings. Through these 3 pages of Desolation members, whom I like by the way so dont get any fucken retarded bias assumptions, bashing Lithium, there has yet to be Any Hard Evidence posted on this thread showing the reason for Lithiums ban. Instead, I have seen Nasir say "Lithium isnt banned", only to say he is in the next post for hacking, Kyle and Icey, who I personally think are cool guys, add in insults and random "facts" about what happen instead of pushing the topic along, and other random players posting their opinions about the subject at matter with Nasir and desolation members insulting them. Instead of all this, why not just post the fucken logs so we can get on with our lives? As of now, I dont give a fuck what happens to Lithium because he has caused enough troubles. However it is the responsibility of the Admin to provide some sort of evidence may it be logs or video that Lithium was cheating to end this. Otherwise at this point in time, Lithium is innocent. Map, Post the logs. Showing your praise on other servers doesnt mean shit when you're not following the rules.

This, 7 days seems way to long, people should be actively using the vehicles they collect, 3 or 4 tops would be much more reasonable.

You might not be a bad admin, but many will. There are already countless of reports of admins abusing rights to hoard vehicles, or prevent losing them. Rocket said, and i saw that interview days ago. That its something he would look into(this does not mean its allowed, nor that it will happen) and he said it might help with the hacking, it certainly will, but i already stated the major issues it would cause instead. It will not help the situation.

oh yeah i know servers bug out sometimes that they don't spawn vehicles properly, this isn't the case though.

The point he is trying to make, is that with private servers admins can ban who they want, set the settings how they want. And again, that will result in a completely broken system with no rules. Admins will lock servers and hoard vehicles Admins will lock server when vehicles are stolen Admins will kick and ban if they are killed etc etc. This will completely ruin the experience aswell.

This is so illogical to me. If it's not ban worthy to carry the gun it's essentially an invitation to hack because how are we to know if that individual was the one who brought the gun in. I think the policy needs to be reviewed. Server admins can't ban people without multiple forms of proof on a server they purchased, but a hacker can spawn in a million guns and vehicles without risk. Logic?

Like everyone has been saying, and like on many other threads: The vehicles are usually hidden in camps on the far outsides of the map. Usually north and west. I just stumbled across a server with a camp with far too many vehicles for them to enjoy them all. I actually do not understand why they need every vehicle on the server in their camp, why can't they just be happy with 3-4 vehicles and let other people have some.

These are my ideas for dayz when it is its own game. - Different types of clothes/gear that reduce damage done to you from zombies mainly but also reduce maybe some or a little bullet damage Examples - football helmet and shoulderpads, bulletproof vest, other sports protective equipment, etc. The reason for the sports equipment is because in a real apocalypse there would be plenty of sports gear for survivors while military gear would be rarer. Each day in dayz should be shorter so that it doesnt take literally 3 months to grow food or a year to build a good base or something. I personally think a day should be 4 hours or maybe 6 (a day is an 24 hour day not just when sun is up) how long do u think days should be? Zombies should be realistic. - Zombies run slower by 20% each half of a week that they don't eat (from humans or animals) so basically the zombies would become crawlers due to starvation after a couple weeks. - Zombies should be able to hit u while running but at reduced damage maybe 25% less? - Zombies run at a normal humans speed. (unless they are hungry as stated above) - Zombies are everywhere including forests. - Some zombies should roam around going long distances. - Some zombies stay at cities until cities food sources are depleted. - Zombies are attracted to eat animals just the same as with humans. - Zombies spawn from outside map boundaries and wander long distances at random. The ability to make bread from wheat crops or corn crops. - Start by finding seeds for wheat or corn and then growing it. - Turn the wheat into flour when grown by using a mill created out of wood. - Add water to flour and bake it by creating a wood fire oven by collecting stone to make the oven and then just add wood and light it with matches. - The reason it is a good addition is because u could store the flour u have made to be able to bake it whenever u want. The ability to farm for food. - Examples: corn takes 2 to 3 months to grow to the point of harvest, has to be watered often, can't be grown in cold temp. (winter) - Would be shorter than in real life. Either option A: 1 day equals 4 or 6 hours or B: simply reduce growth time or C: both A and B - With a 4 hour day there would be 6 days in 1 real day while growing corn would take 10 to 15 "game" days. Dehydration - Not drinking water causes vision to dim at first then unconsciousness. - Speed and endurance decreased gradually to max of 30%. - Shade slows dehydration. - More water required as physical activity increases. Weight of items decreases run speed and endurance. Survivors should be realistic and start as an "average" person. - Able to increase accuracy with weapons after shooting for a period of time. - Start with a person who has not shot guns at all or very little and therefore would be less accurate than it is currently in the game. - Start with a person with average fitness. - Fitness can be increased by running and maybe finding weights as items in-game - Using weights for your arms would increase melee weapon damage. (after sleeping) - Running for 10 minutes increases run speed and endurance slightly each time. (after sleeping) - After running for too long or using weights u have to sleep to receive the benefits. - After running a while or working out run speed and melee damage is lowered until you sleep. - Sleeping somewhere comfortable decreases time needed to sleep. (tents, beds) - Eating food after the work out or run is also required to receive benefits. (only one meal) Food - More variety of food with different stats. - Food with more carbs give more energy and so increase speed and endurance. - Food with protein gives you more of a benefit after working out/ running. - Food should replenish a small amount of water. (some foods replenish more water) - Not eating enough protein causes muscles to degenerate slowly and make u run slower and hit with melee for less. - More food required as physical activity increases. Clothing and accessories should be added - ear plugs - gas masks - warm clothing (usually heavier) - light clothing for running fast - shoes: light shoes, heavy durable boots, cleats - ghillie suits and camouflaged clothing (reduces your visibility to zombies) - Bulletproof vests - Ballistic shields - battering ram Non-lethal weapons -Pepper spray -Tasers - Tear gas - Flash bang grenades -Paintball markers loaded with pepper spray -Stinger grenades Vehicles - Trains could be added to give players a way to move items/food in large quantities. - Would have 1 repairable train per server. - Railroad tracks to be placed by players. Please tell me what you think of the ideas and if u have something to add.

Dear people, Does anyone know if their has been some sort of server wipe on LU38? We had mutiple tents and 2 vehicles stationed on this server, for a litlle while now. they survived mutiple resets, but now, all of a suden, everything has dissapeared. I do now know if its even possible for admins to do a server wipe, but this is one of the few things I can imagine. I'm not sure if I was the only player who saved the vehicles and tents, but could it be that "they" only wiped my saved tents and vehicles? Thank you all in advance. With kind regards, Jorrit

You'll find various maps on the internet which has spawn locations of both vehicles and loot. This one here is a good one:http://dayzdb.com/map#5.034.049

guys let me please tell my story of this server, seeing this was posted on 2nd of august this actually was my ural that has been stolen (kept it away from main camp, ural is way too obvious). i couldn't be fucked getting it back, because i had enough other vehicles anyway. i basically had almost all the vehicles on that server, but not for long. my ural was stolen (that OP probably stole again from the people that stole it from me... stealception). i knew the ural would get stolen anyway because it's almost impossible to hide such a thing. i had 2 bicycles, 2 ATV's, s1203 van, bus, red GAZ, white pickup and a UAZ on the same server. my main camp was far away from where i lost the ural and it was probably the most hidden camp ever. all the coloured cars were seperated atleast 1000M away from eachother and my atv's & bicycles were so well hidden in a tree that i had to remember the tree i put them in. the UAZ was also really well hidden and not in eyesight from where my ATV's and bicycles were, but close anyway. one day i logged out from a succesful day of getting vehicle parts with my group. i log in 9 hours later and i notice that EVERY vehicle was gone, it wasn't even possible to even see the bicycles and they got stolen. i check the trees where my ATVs were in, gone. (yes trust me, we hid them VERY well. it was almost impossible to see them, unless you're walking next to it). i check a little bit further to check if my UAZ was there, gone. i then walked towards the spot where i hid the white pickup, gone. i check the blue van spot, gone. i then check the red GAZ spot with no hope left whatsoever, and that was also gone. it all happened over 9 hours and ALSO over night time. when i woke up the server was on 7 AM and when i went to bed the server was already starting to get night time. i am not whining about losing these vehicles because oh man i've lost count on how many got stolen/eaten. i just think something fishy is going on on that server. there was no way anyone could see a bicycle hidden inside a tree in night time. also, when i still had my ural. a hacker called "Enrico" came on the server and teleported next to my group in my camp. my friend paniced and starting shooting him, he had godmode on and just 1hit my friend with his AS50 thermal scope. a different friend and I were standing looking at him to what he just did. said hacker then sat next to the corpse and repaired & refueled ALL our vehicles. he then teleported to someone else. yes, i'm pretty sure that there is something fishy going on on that server. just defending OP, don't really care about what i experienced anymore.

Yeah I've played DayZ for months now and my encounters with vehicles are fewer, actual working vehicles even fewer. You think you're frustrated now? just wait.

I have come to the comclusion that some servers STILL don't have vehicles. Lack of server uniformity sucks with this mod.

This thread is about what basically everyone is complaining about - hackers. What do you do? You can't have any vehicles... You can't have any tents, you can't run around in a group, you can't mind your own business. What the fuck do you do? If you have tents stashed around, a hacker is either going to find them and loot them or simply demolish them. If you have a vehicle (such as the Ural Civilian) you're either going to get tele-gibbed or a hacker is going to teleport to it, loot it and steal it while you're asleep. If you mind your own business and stay out of everyone's way, you're bound to end up getting killed by someone that's nuking the server and killing everyone. If you run in a group, you're an automatic target for cheaters. Had one teleport on top of us, spam smoke grenades and drop bombs on my group. It's beginning to get pointless... You play the game to survive, aquire gear and have a bit of fun. None of this is possible when these little script kiddies are downloading programs and killing people with them. Why the fuck would you kill someone with a cheat when you could just spawn your own shit and be on your way? The game is getting near to unplayable... The script kiddies have more control over the server than the owners, more control over the game than the developers, and more control over the players then themselves. Basically nothing is being done about this either... You read about some of these updates happening, but the point is that Arma2 is allowing these issues. There's nothing stopping the scripts from being executing, only the logging of those scripts. The 'game' is going to die before it even gets off the ground. I dunno... It's annoying and I guess i'm just blowing off steam.

im almost agree, dupes get fix, vehicles should just respawn after 3-5 days non use, or add more vehicles...more heli crashes coz cmon it takes sometimes 1-2 days to get .50 and just 1 sec to lose ur equip...and im one of those who likes more pvp than survive to zombies...thats my pov cheers

Technically you can. You can bind it so that vehicles use the controller. For everything else forget it. Your aim will be so impaired you won't last 5 minutes.

i agree with the more vehicles point
