Quoted for truth. You get this for crashing a chopper. I dunno if the other vehicles produce the same scripts though.

Recently me and my friends managed to get a camp going, and it lasted for a week with no one finding it or stealing anything from it. Then all of a sudden we log in and nothing is there (the time was also off, it was supposed to be mid-day but it was night). We had 2 vehicles and a camping tent, yet everything is gone (even the fencing kit we put up lol). I doubt anyone took it...im just kinda mad that all of the stuff is gone. Will it all come back on the next server restart? Or should i never bother making a camp again if this is going to happen all the time?

Fixed. If they were less common, people would be more willing to use, lose and play around with their vehicles rather than just pack them full of AS50s and hide them in the wilderness like buried treasure.

id 4658052 Spawn vehicles

At the end of the day who cares if its a hacked item. You CAN NOT be banned for using a hacked item you picked up that you did not hack into the game yourself. If you kill a hacker and take his thermal as50 scope, its legit to use, and battle eye WILL NOT BAN you for using it, as long as you're not the hacker that spawned it. http://www.battleye.com/support.html Read it, first bullet on top of the list. For those incapable of clicking a link(seems to happen a lot on here) "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."

So how do vehicle spawns work like domthey spawn after one has been destroyed and does each server only have one of every spawn, do all vehicles spawn when the server is started.

Date&Time: 7/29/2012. 4 pm EST Server: Forgot (sorry :( ) Location: So i was running out of elektro, i had just resupplied with blood bags, morphine, etc. Was getting ready to meet up with some friends to start our DayZ (get it?). All of a sudden i hear a helicopter coming from my north so i immediately get down to the fucking ground and hope to god ghillie suits aren't too fucking obvious on the road. I hear the machine gunner start opening fire and i was like, FUCK i'm so dead....then i hear that distinct sound of an As50 that thing must have been almost 600m out because it sounded like a pop but regardless i could tell it was an as50, i look up and the chopper starts banking super hard. Whoever was sniping was one hell of a shot because he just 1 shot the pilot. I see about 4 ppl eject out and they all survive, then through my rangefinders i see about 6 or 7 ppl on the north side of skalisty island. 3 of them were skylined pretty hard so they were obvious the other 3 or 4 were somewhere down in the trees and at the range of around 600~700m unless you're kneeling or standing you can't really see ppl in deep grass. I switch my view to the survivors and they're already amscraying out of there, most of them were actually coming towards my location and i didn't want to move because if they saw a bush suddenly start moving they would probably KoS no questions asked. When they were around 40 meters out i called out to them saying friendly. I could tell they were super nervous because one of them got super fucking spastic and started spinning around. I dropped my primary which was an as50 as well and equipped my hatchet. I did the bendy dance so they would see me and slowly crab walked towards them so they would see i wasn't hostile. 6 minutes later i had learned the entire backstory of this event. I'll be giving you guys the TL;DR version. They had 2 clan members guarding their home base location, they were apparently going to trade with this other group. They were definitely survivors, apparently they had this location so they could help out beginners going down the coast. They were lucky enough to have a heli and they were using it to go to different locations in order to organize a trade. This was apparently a decoy trade, they said when they got to the location immediately their 2 home base guards shouted out on mumble that they had been killed by a group of 7 bandits. The survivors immediately went back to their camp on their heli (which was when i heard them coming back and ripping up the hillside). After hearing the story, i decided to help them out. Their 2 snipers had been killed, 1 at home base and the other was the pilot. However i was lucky enough to find that one of the surviving survivors (lol) was a spotter. Now I've been using the as50 for a week and a half straight i'm dead accurate up to 700m. However these guys were 800m~900m out and we were in the treeline on the mountain and DEFINITELY didn't want to go any closer. I zero'd in my as50 at 900m and switched out my m107 round for the 6 12.7x99 NATO as50 mags out of my backpack. (Why? you ask because the NATO rounds have less bullet drop). Just letting you guys know these rounds are fucking hard to find, i usually ONLY use them on vehicles because they WILL 1 shot any engine on ANY vehicle. However at 900m? i needed more accurate ammo. I told the spotter to look for their snipers, i told them i had seen at least 3 guys in ghillie suits skylined back when i was down the mountain, so obviously after having run up the mountain and being at a higher altitude then they were, it wouldn't be as easy to see them anymore. However i must admit the spotter was quite good, if anyone knows anything about the as50 its that the zoom on the scope is terrible. At 900m your center dot is probably going to be bigger than your target. Knowing that i sucked up my balls and got ready to blow some heads off. The spotter found the first sniper and told me the exact location, took me about 40 seconds to actually see him and i prepared my first shot. I called out "Firing" and pressed my LMB, anddddd it hit right above the fucking guy. I immediately re-aimed and looked for movement, for some unknown stroke of luck the fool didn't move. I called out "firing" again and shot the guy right in his ass. On the bottom left side of the screen i saw the kill text "DrMagicTape has been killed". The guys on mumble were like fuck yeah, 5 seconds later that hillside just exploded in activity all of them started running to the south side of the island, i couldn't kill anyone near the top because they went behind trees and i lost LoS. However the 2 guys near the bottom of the hill weren't so lucky. I killed one of them straight off, the second guy i actually didn't one shot. I shot the 2nd fella in the leg once then re-aimed and shot him in the fucking head. That was 3 down 4 to go, all of a sudden i see a god damn boat coming out the south side of the island and heading north, i had the spotter re-range them and he's like shit man thats like 1,100 meters. Once again i zero'd in my rifle. Now i have absolutely no idea where the engine block of a boat is, but i fucking hit it on my first shot. That thing started smoking and flaming like a mother fucker. Then the spotter yells out that he saw them swimming, then i hear them say they have some vehicles around the area and we could drive to a closer location so we could get some better shots, because if anyone has tried sniping at swimming targets. Its almost impossible to get sight of them and at 1000+ meters i wasn't going to hit them. We got in the vehicles and drove to Krutov Cap, i'll put up some pics of where we traveled. As everyone who has tried swimming, its super slow. By the time we got to Krutov Cap, they had only been able to swim to that small island in between skalisty and krutov. The nice fellas, on the survivor squad hooked me up with a m4a1 cco sd before we engaged them. The instant we saw them, one of the survivors next to me with a mk 48 opened fire and shot down 2 of them instantly. (the mk 48 is a fucking beast) We saw the other 2 start doing the bendy dance and dropping their primary weapons and backpacks. I saw one of them drop an as50 and told them that he was probably the one who killed their pilot, he was immediately killed the last guy started doing a fucking chicken dance and was running around in circles. At this point i was laughing so hard i couldn't aim. For around 5 minutes we just kept shooting at him and missing on purpose. we slowly made our way towards him, we sent 1 person swimming across at a time. When we were all on the island (i was last) i heard them talking on the voice comm saying shit like GG, that was epic, etc. After around 15 min of talking i was starting to make my way back. I heard gunfire behind me, i turned around and i saw the guy with the mk 48 shooting EVERYBODY. I was like holy shit this mother fucker is crazy, i went prone and re-joined their mumble. They were all shouting and cussing i asked them what happened and they said that guy had been a fresh member about 3 days old in the clan, he was a spy for the enemy team apparently. What he didn't know was that i was still in range and i had a clear shot on him. I asked them if they wanted me to kill the fucker, and they offered me everything i could ever dream of if i killed him. So i took a shot at 500m, and like i said i'm dead accurate with anything up to 700m so i took the shot, which was a headshot and dropped the piece of shit. Bottom left side of the screen i see a "JTriot85 has been killed". At the end of the day, i made out of that whole dispute with a mk 48, m4a1 cco sd, a lot of mags. And the satisfaction of an epic dayZ. 5 minutes later my friends hop on mumble and i regale them with my tale of glory, and they're cussing because they had missed it all. :D LATERS

I haven't really had many problems with saving. It was just once that my ATV disappeared due to something server-side. The other times the server just spontaneously vanished from the list. As far as I know it's probably just the fact that all the servers in which I find my vehicles are insanely low-populated, so they just stop being hosted. Is it true that people go around hiding vehicles just for the hell of it? I have yet to find one on any server that has an average population of 20+

When you start to play Arma2 and not just DayZ, both DLCs will start being used alot more in alot of other missions. Cars, guns, vehicles, units, choppers There is a whole world of mods and missions out there which are amazing to play if you enjoy tactical warfare games.

hi, No we have no vehicles since we are too disrupt to own one :). Even if we would steal one we would be too lazy to take care of it. cya. Nikiller.

US1340 is very actively admined. The admins, [HF] have been together for 8 years. We are honest and play fair. If you steal our vehicles or raid our tents, you don't have to worry about getting banned/kicked. We welcome a challenge! Logs are checked on a daily basis. We have a ventrilo with public channels. We also have an email that is constantly checked. Server restarts are every 6 hours with a global 5 minute warning. -Servers will restart without warning only if there is a hacker (or if it crashes)

Hey guys will just be posting any information of this server here as well as when we get the website up and running (if I can ever stop playing). Just a bit of info : Server runs UTC +4 (The major donators are Aussies and this timezone is perfect for the play time) Server runs Vet with third person and cross-hairs enabled. We have a team speak just pm me for the details if you want a chat Known Issues: We are having problems with stationary zombies clogging up the zombie count and ruining gameplay and trying to fix this issue (pm me if you have a fix) -FIXED We are yet to have vehicles (this seems to be a popular error among the new severs) -FIXED ( Thanks Ander) Thank you for reading

The tires on your vehicles are gone half a second after the snipers are dead, assuming I don't accidentally miss and put an AS50 round right through your engine block while you're sitting on it. Leaving one merchant alive to follow back to the weapon stash wouldn't be a bad idea.

I love this game, but it is being ruined by hacks. I ran into a group of 5 players and all of them Had L85A2 thermals and ghillies. They were driving vehicles that aren't part of dayz. Shortly after the had working choppers. I have been teleport killed and sent to the thunder dome. Something needs to be done.

I would form a group on your server, if there is enough vehicles and enough people to kill.

Lost 5 cars with dozens of weapons and items, also a Huey. Any admins from 1049 want to explain what happened and if/when this will be fixed? Server time is waaay off (usually it's about 3 hours behind east coast time), right now it's 3:20pm Eastern and it's pitch black on the server. Server time should be 12:20pm or 11:20am. Not accusing anyone of anything, alpha is alpha, just desperately hoping the vehicles will all come back. If an admin sees this and wants to rollback the server, this happened after the reset at 12am on August 3rd.

I read your old post carefully. Maybe it's you who should have expressed youself better? :emptycan: I know what area accuracy is. It's just you seemed to say that it was something that's done like a piece of cake. With 5.56 rounds, 800m area shots are quite fun... Since they can't wound deeply. Anyway, back to the point. Might have been overzealous on that part. Since your post was slightly agressive to start with. And I'm "qualified expert" as you call it with FAMAS & PAMAS if you want to compare dick lengs. Though there is one thing you might not know the difference between, even though you have English as your mother tongue: There is a slight difference between "Hungry" and "Malnourished". Hungry is your body telling you it needs food. Malnourished means the body has had for a period of time deprivation of balanced and/or plentiful food. :beans: + :beans: + :beans: =/= :lol: What about making those .50 rifles work like the AT4? I mean, they remove the backpack in order to be carried. The Spawn rate of all semi automatics should still be inferior to the total of bolt action ones though. Right? Fair and true enough. I disagree a bit, but I see where you are coming from. ^_^ Lucky us, Rocket isn't the static kind of guy. Good enough for me. Their added spawn rate might not be "Huge" but it's still too big. Removing one (I'd vote for the M107) would be okay for me. I believe it's a half separated matter. Whenever you grab and keep a high value weapon, , and even more so in a group, the gun can eventually be counted as a +1 value. If everyone keeps the same category of weapons, while ignoring the others, whenever new loot spawns (and possibly the same gun) it's just an other +1, until "Everybody" has it but some fresh spawns (the others running to their friends). Even if the Makarov had a 50% chance of spawning everywhere, it wouldn't increase its number of owners as it's known to be rather bad, and is dumped at the first other pistol found. Better weapons though tend to just stack in numbers, and keep growing until a certain percentage of the population has them (Can't grow more except if people start to be all friendly). I'm pretty certain that, counting content in tents and vehicles, there are more automatic weapons & sniper rifles than there are player, even if you count a player double if you put a rifle in your backpack, even if you don't include cheat and bugs.

I haven't played this game a whole lot, but I really enjoy. Even though I've studied all the detailed maps I could've found, I still have some questions. 1. How many cities are there and what are the best ones to go to (I know the main ones are Cherno and Elecktro) 2. Which places are the best to find vehicles and small arms (I travel light with a pistol, a map, a gps, a hunting knife, and some binoculars with some food) 3. Where are the best places to find food These are probably some nooby questions but I really need the help. Thanks, Jupiter

1.A 3 major cities,those you included then Bronzino or wahtever it is called at north-east side of map near cost and several cities with tons of villages inland. 2.Best vehicles are found in military zones such as Humve or if oyu have luck helicopter,all military grade loot including Glock,M9 and PW are there too ( sidearms ). 3.Best places to find food are markets.

Might just have been a bad restart, vehicles might come back after the next one.

For this reason i've stopped to hide the vehicles i occasionally find (it's better to destroy em after the usage..). It's the benefit of having/admin a server.. why do you think that 90% of choppers in game belongs to the server owner(s)? Skill? Luck? Cheaters? :)

depends on vehicle and what you have to trade. Sometimes I get lucky on a server and find 2-5 vehicles. I personally will always keep the bicycle, motorcycle and UAZ. I like the pickup truck, but since it's white, it's very hard to hide. I like the ATV but its soooooo buggy, it's not worth the trouble. All other vehicles I personally would trade cause they're too visible or useless for me. But what would I trade for? Hmmm not sure really. With duping so easy, there's not much I'd need. Maybe lots of ammo, bear traps, STABLE tents that don't wipe. Maybe rarer, underused weapons like m16 acog, etc.

Not true at all mate. The video was edited to save time, but just for your little accusation here's a low quality render of the full 12 mins of that sequence - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vXukkA2meC8&feature=youtu.be So to explain this, I've just raided your camp after doing a 20 minute run from Elektro to there. I'd been there earlier after that first death ( to the bug, i was so fuckin mad about that death lol ) raided an AS50 an M249 a backpack, 3 ghillie suits, 3 NVG's and 2 Rangefinders from there. Left the area then left your server to hook up with some buddies to pass the gear off for storage. I then decide that since I've got an AS50, i may as well go after your chopper. Then i get the second death to Ian, or whatever. Whatever happened with Threatty is nothing to do with me. I was only in TS with him and he said nothing about disconnecting, all I heard from him was when he died. At that time I'm doing the 20 min elektro run again. I raid the camp a second time, get a ghillie an AS50 another backpack, M249 and shit ( those 2 Lee Enfields in the tents were a present from me ). Notice I'm dying of thirst in this video, have no food and no sidearm. If I was hacking in gear, do you think I'd let myself die of thirst? This video starts literally just as I'm moving away from the 2 tents next to each other by the 2 lakes. I see your vehicles and search them in the hopes of finding food and water. I don't have any luck and then I shoot your dude and the video shit goes down. About 5 mins after I stopped recording this I left the server. I needed a piss IRL, was dying of thirst in game and still suffering the effects of adrenaline and gasping for a smoke. So then i hook up with my buddies on another server and we go night time raiding to get me and Threatty supplied back up. We do a Stary raid then a NWA raid. Xerpt joins us on the airfield raid ( where i aggroed a fuckload of zombies hence the jump in zed kills in the video ). I ask him where the big Elysium camps are and he says there's one out west. We run to that area under cover of night and swap server. Xerpt goes onto your server to check the camp's clear. It is and we log in ( we wouldn't have logged in had someone been in your camp as that's just dodgy ), raid all the supplies we need then set up in bushes and wait for a good 25-30 mins for the chopper to come. the rest is there to be seen. Now I appreciate you guys being upset about this but I'm pretty fucking livid that we put in a good shift the other night to really get you guys well. We out thought and outplayed you. As i said earlier in this thread, 2 of us took 6 of you without ever being fired on, that to me is pretty fucking impressive on our part and an indictment on how your clan operates. All you do by way of acknowledgement is accuse us falsely of cheating. None of it was personal, we just do not like people who sit at the coast shooting defenceless players with sniper rifles as people have witnessed you doing. We intend to do the same to others who do that. Now if that video's not enough I'll gladly post 20 or so minutes of me sitting behind that tree, tabbing out to talk to Xerpt over steam. It's as glamorous as it sounds. So now I'd appreciate it if you guys would stop throwing accusations around and just say something along the lines of "we were wrong and we're sorry, well played" ( as a few decent members of Elysium have done already ) and then everyone should just leave it at that.

tents are just so unstable right now. On a few servers, i'll place a tent, decide I don't like where it is and move it a few meters away. I might even do this a few times. On the next restart, there were tents in every spot I had put a tent... On another server, I put up a tent, took it back down and put it up again a few meters away. Now the 1st spot as a tent that loads whatever was in it on the last save. Basically a permanent duping tent. Other server I have tents that I could place in a great spot under a tree, but can't select it. Other servers I have a couple stable tents that actually save correctly and arent wiped on restarts. the problem is they're full because I know they're stable. I need more tents cause I'm getting overfull of items lately. I even recently found a tent that loads whatever was in its last save every few minutes. I was so excited haha. Load up tent, click save, take everything out, wait 2 mins, everythings respawned in it! And vehicles are become almost as unstable as tents lately.

I know It's a pain for most people flipping their cars and wishing they could get it back on it's wheels, especially for people that work together, and I thought of maybe a fix for flipped vehicles. You should implement a context button, "flip vehicle" and depending on vehicle size/weight etc, more people need to use the context at the same time, say you and your friends flip your favorite UAZ, you all get out and you all count to 3, then press the button and it takes like 5 of you to flip it back over or something, just my two cents, but I honestly think that would make it a lot better.
