Listen I'm not a very good person for medical supplies but I do come across a lot of vehicle stuff on my travels. If I'm in game, Steam name is Argent_LeRoche, and any medic needs something for a vehicle, anything from tyres to Main rotary shafts, let me know and I'll tell you if I come across any. I'm a mostly UK server dweller but have no bones about hoping to you. I offer this because you guys do a bang up job and you actually need the vehicles.

Basically, I got this idea in my head today in the form of a mental image of a bus driving around playing "Low Rider". It was an entertaining visual, but it also had potential, imo. What I'm thinking is basically this: Rarely, in spots that would make sense to have P.A. systems such as hospitals, military & fire stations and the like, you would be able to find systems--or at least usable components to one--that you could take and install in a building, or in smaller structures like deer stands, or even equip them to certain vehicles such as buses, cars, helicopters, etc. How they would function would be probably just how you'd expect; Using one/using Direct Chat near an active system would greatly expand the effective range of your voice. This could be used for easily sending out messages to large, spread-out groups, or sending a distress message, or--if you're feeling particularly like a bastard--luring in other survivors to do what you will with them. Of course this would also risk drawing in more zombies as well. And as an added functionality, a user would also be able to possibly take mp3 files from their computer and directly broadcast them over the speakers in the form of a pre-recorded warning or help message, or--as I'd expect most commonly--music, which could not only be used just for fun, but also for, say, drawing a large portion of the zeds' attention toward your vehicle and away from your friend who's searching the nearby small village for loot. Lots of different, neat functionalities for something like this would be possible if implemented well, I imagine. Mostly, I'm just wondering if anyone else would like something like this or if I'm the only one who thinks it'd be rather neat to broadcast Ride of the Valkyries as you and your friends fly over Chenarus, mowing down the armies of walking dead. :P

only camp riders go there, unless you search for a camp, it's a no interest belt all around the map, both in and out the borders. i found some tents,never vehicles. but you can just change your weapon,if you have your backpack always full like mine is...maybe if you find a clan camp you find both vehicles and useful tools like gps or nvg..but in a large population server you can be lucky near berezino or near gas stations and meet some groups refilling jerrycans or raiding the hospital

I've heard rumors that you can't hide stuff out of bounds anymore, like, on debug plains. So I went on a quest to find vehicles. Well, after two days I only managed to find an ATV on some forest that looked like Cambodia...Nothing else. So what's the deal? People are still hanble to hide stuff out bounds or I'm just unlucky??

I see a lot of issues but no solutions. So the hive is scrapped, how do you save your weapons, vehicles etc? I mean technically, in the engine? Explain or suggest it to me.

BIS didn't create a shitty system. What BIS created was an engine capable of rendering 220 square km full of detail (over 1 million 3d objects), animals, players, vehicles and shit load of other stuff behind the scenes. The challenge they face now is making the engine secure but keeping the openness that allowed this mod (and others) to exist in the first place. But fuck me right?

Think what is happening on the server also factors into it, lots of big vehicles all on one server might slow and lag it out a bit causing the server to save your character's stats less regularly.

I logged into the server my clan plays on and found that all of our camps were wiped clean. We had 4 vehicles to include the UZA, Ural, V3S, and PickUp Truck. Our vehicles were scattered on the map between our camps. Even places that had wire in the doorways were cleared. I ran to Electro on my server and where a bus was once crashed into the Electro Church just this morning, is now also gone. Anyone else know what happened?? Or has this happened to anyone elses home server??

Yes. Every online game will be full of hackers. You've got to learn to enjoy the game. My squad just got teleported on top of after losing all of our vehicles. Went up north and found a UAZ. Was fixing up an ATV when a buddy spotted 3 people that basically teleported right into his sights and immediately started opening fire. People are weird dude... Why play the game with hacks? I hate the idea that DayZ will be on ArmA3 engine... My computer has no chance in hell playing that...

I love the North. It's full of tents and vehicles just waiting to be raided. Besides, you can get shot anywhere, North or South.

All of my SOS "rules" are based on threat. Generally my list is as follows: -Armed within 200m, especially if heading my direction -Closer than 50m and no comm attempted -Heading towards any camps / vehicles I have I have a general preference to let people alone or even help them if we can strike up comms and share information, but I'm aware of my own shiny stuff being tempting. EDIT: ANYONE laying on a hill with a sniper rifle will be shot. I'm very wary of sniper rifles due to previous experiences... :rolleyes:

Hello, I noticed that there are very few players on DE112, so I though we could team up and play together. Are there any player from DE112 here on the forums? Would be really cool if we could team up and find some vehicles and supplies for everyone. There are only 6-10 players on the server everytime and with that amount of players, PvP isnt really a good option I think. So if anyone is here from DE112, please respond.

I don't need a ride mate. my group has most of the vehicles on our home server X3

thats the thing, its not hard to tell a buddy where you were he runs to the area, you loggin (usually on a different server) he spots you layin on the ground bandage/blood bag wait 5 minutes and your good to go again :-/ last night i died twice fighting the same ghosting combat d/c'ing worthless gimp from the [5*] clan, he really wanted that chopper, however we had more people and vehicles to ship us from the coast back into the fight before he could clear the area .. ive never combat logged from Z's or incomming fire, he fights diorty outside the rules we do it within the rules ;-) kudos to the OP, ya did the bad thing, then immediatley logged back in to watch the timmer tick away

the problem is that vehicles are somewhat broken right now. if a vehicle is destroyed, it should respawn back to one of the random start points on server restart (or after a couple restarts if no one tries to fix it), however, after a server restart, the destroyed vehicle stays in its last position and the vehicle is magically fixed. in fact, any damage done to a vehicle is magically fixed (even if not completely destroyed). the only time you will ever see a vehicle at one of the spots listed on the online maps is when the server is newly created or when someone left a vehicle outside the map bounds (in the grassless area).

I have tons of vehicles but I agree with you. Right now they're only used for the SAFEST of missions, like going to low traffic cities to refuel, or ferrying people through low traffic areas (always hiding them before going into any high traffic areas). TENTS should be hidden, VEHICLES should be USED. Hide your fuel, hide your weapons, hide your tents, USE your vehicles -- the game would be a lot more exciting if player A was pinned down and his buddy just drove up, gave him cover with his vehicle while he hopped in, and then tried to haul ass out of town. Currently player A's life is worth less than the vehicle you'd risk to save him.

Hey guys, so basically I'm tired of playing alone. When I play DayZ which I love, I just run around minding my own business... Don't misunderstand me, I admire how silent I am when playing alone and if I make a mistake, theres only myself to blame. However, it's getting quite boring. Therefore, I'm reaching out to the DayZ Forums.. I need some survivors to play with. I have played DayZ for over a month now, and I have probably the best gear in the game. AS50, Ghille, Rangefinder, NVG, GPS, you name it.. I also play on a server where I have several vehicles. What I'm trying to say is, I'm well fit and I know how to play the game. Now for some information about myself. I'm 15 years old, and basically I'm just enjoying my summer vacation with a lot of DayZ... Also, I'm from Denmark, so if there are any danish survivors out there that would be amazing aswell. Anyway, I don't really care if your from Arabia or from Denmark, as long as you speak fluent English and you are ready for some fun hours with me in DayZ, add me on skype: rasmus12351 Kind regards, Star

I tend to have the most luck at the midsection of the craft looking down like when I refuel vehicles. Best of luck!

Fucking retarted shit it fucking pissed me off thanks for eating my SVD camo fucking tent no wonder people dupe if they have to feed tents and vehicles with rare weapons

i feel like some of those spawns are bs an atv and uaz were old spawns for green mountain but they changed it ive never even seen a uaz or atv at green mountain just the offroader and ive been there a great number of times do to our servers resetting vehicles..

you know my group use to ALWAYS have the offroader and we havnt found one in WEEKS. it may be in 1 tree we missed grid searching who knows but i havnt seen one in awhile which is a shame cause its one of the best vehicles.

Admittedly, I understand the whole .mp3 file broadcasting thing being a big hard to consolidate, (only thing I could imagine being, perhaps the survivor happened to have some CDs or an MP3 player to plug in or something, but still, I get that that's rather iffy), but considering that--to my knowledge--some vehicles like police cars and such have similar systems built-in. I'm no expert on cars, but I can't imagine it being too difficult to jerry-rig a loudspeaker system into something like a bus with enough know-how. I've seen that mentioned every now and then. Just now looked into that a bit. If that could be implemented into the game, then fantastic, close enough to what I'm envisioning. But from what I've seen it doesn't seem to be compatible with DayZ yet. As of now this is just an alternate idea. I fully realize that, yes, this kind of thing definitely has potential to be abused for the sake of annoyance. This is why--to at least help counteract that--my thoughts on this include making the spawning of this type of item (or components of one) rather rare. If you're lucky enough to find one, the hope is that you'd use it more wisely than if they were an easy commodity. And keep in mind that even if you were to, say, camp up high in a building in Elektro or what-have-you and spam Never Gonna Give You Up over loudspeaker for the purpose of pissing others off in the area, it'd highly increase the odds of the other survivors coming right for you to brutally execute you and gank your stuff. And, to reiterate, it'd also be a surefire way to attract more zeds to you.

I've never had issues with vehicles spawning or tents by killing the process. I think it's those who restart the mission only that have those issues.

New Players Think There's Only 2 Kind Of Players In Day Z, But Its Not True. There's Survivor & Bandits Of Course, But We Have Sub-Categories Also. Survivor ----> Can Be Medic*(Only Help People In Medical Condition) ----> Can Be Hero*(Help Every One! And Try To Evade Fire Fight Most Of The Time) ----> Can Be Normal Survivor*(Help Most Of The People Except Bandits And Other Weird People) ----> Probably More Bandits ----> Can Be Thief*(Steal Vehicles And Camp And Kill Only In Last Resort) ----> Can Be Murder*(Scum That Kill Every One On Sight) ----> Can Be Mercenary*(Only Kill When He Want Something, Mercenaries Normally Horde Vehicles And Guns In Hidden Camps) ----> Can Be Clan Bandits*(Kill Everybody On Sight, Except Others From The Clan/Group) ----> Can Be Normal Bandits*(Kill Everybody, Except New Players / Unarmed People E.c.t) ----> Probably More That's My Personal View About It :) And The Game As No Rules (Almost), So You Can Do Whatever You Want!

I used to play as stealthy as possible. After a while though, the game gets kinda boring when you have lots of high end gear thanks to duping and 10 vehicles. Now I just run around like crazy firing my gun as often as possible. Now I WANT to be noticed. Snipers you say? 50-75% of them can't hit a thing. I encourage them to fire as it just gives their position away. My AKM or m16 acog or M14 will be aiming right back the second you fire. Been playing this game about a month and only been sniped twice, both due to me staying in the NWA way too long.
