It won't show up in other people's map unless you're like a few meters close. Although if you shoot a gun, you will show up on other people's map as an orange marker titled 'UNKNOWN'(with a range of course. 500m?) Also vehicles will show up on your map even if they are like 500m away.

are they server specific or do they follow you if you change servers?

I just borrow vehicles from camps. Anyway its only way to get one on most of the servers.

Yeah :) you sat hiding in a bush when I noticed you.. was quite funny :) .. didnt need to take the risk and engage further. We did have 3 bicycles hidden so as long as you only take the car it wasent worth dying for :D This forum is 100% dead ... We should make some sort of an alliance :) .. it could be alot of fun.. my grp just went outside on the north of the map and fetched all the vehicles that was not bugged to bring em back onto the map for players to find :) seemed boring having em so far out. 2xBus, 2xTractor, URAL, V3S, ATV, Hatchback, Bicycle, Motorcycle, S1203 and the UAZ ... seems like a shame to hoard them.. so we drove a convoy from berezino down to balota.. was quite fun, even when either Bamma or GODLIKEMANWHORE, tried to satchel charge us off the road. I dont know if bamma was apart of the group we followed after that but he certanly was in the wrong place, at the wrong time :) So I figure Sleip, DruGzneN2K and Inzann are the team to have fun with ...

1.) thats what I wanted 2.) when I kill someone who has an AS50 thermal and then the server gets NUKED a minute later... yeah, im pretty sure its a hacker. 3.) I am so smart, S-M-R-T, I mean S-M-A-R-T (homer quote) 4.) its happening everywhere, every server I go to. If you play like a noob and dont have vehicles, camps anywhere and just run around in cherno all day then you prolly wont see it, but when you setup a camp in a random ass spot in the wilderness and all of a sudden get ambushed by the only other 3 people on the server 5 minutes after you setup a camp im pretty sure its a hacker.

After checking the logs, I found that the player named DarkAngeJl10 ["23046339",B 1-1-I:1 (DarkAngeJl10) REMOTE,"3762820"]" was the one who teleported all the vehicles on the map to that location, including me. I happened to be in a bus when he teleported me in and he killed me. Unfortunately I was not fast enough to ban him before he logged. Please see if you can reset the vehicles to prior the hack. Also I got messages like this on the logs "CHILD:305:171520:[230,[11242.6,6053.47,0.0419312]]:1:" everytime a vehicle spawned to his location. -Mordeth admin for US US 634 IP 216.244.73.90 port 2312

Clans/groups use them to dupe items. These camps are how I gear up every time I die. I don't play in a clan, but I know where many camps are so I can gear up like I am in one. Yes, it has killed a lot of the fun in DayZ, but I'm not going to creep around NW and where ever to try to gear enough to compete when they don't have to. Am I as morally bankrupt as them? Maybe, and I don't particularly care. I get geared and then pursue other goals, like building bases or keeping vehicles. When I first started DayZ, I used to get a thrill when I found a 1014 in a deerstand, but that all went away as soon as I stumbled on my first camp. Sniper rifles, machine guns, NVGs, Rangefinders, medical goods, etc, all spilling out of the tents. So I travel light and keep a list of server/locations of camps. If I need something, I stop in. I'm no noobhunter or anything, but while I'm farting around way north looking for vehicles and such, it helps. It needs to be fixed, big time. -edit- not all clans/groups use them to dupe items, incorrect blanket statement, I'm sure there are some super dedicated always online clans that manage to stockpile like this, I'm sure...

I've heard (heresay, mind you) that some servers have vehicle spawning disabled. You would not be able to find a vehicle on those places. That said, the two times I've found bikes have been at camps in the middle of nowheresville. If a server has vehicles, they will NEVER respawn unless those controlling them are just the dumbest kids ever. Usually the hoarders take the vehicles into the trees, near the clearings where they have tents. That's my experience, so not sure how translatable that is.

On 1051 we have many groups that frequent the server, and have played on it since it went up. That's why there are many camps and vehicles stashed away.

Well I was thinking about The Walking Dead season 3 and how I can't wait for it etc... Obviously season 3 is at the prison and woodbury right? Well my friends I watched the new season 3 trailer and I heard Rick say "This our Prison we took over it! if i ever see you near here ill shoot you!" or something along those lines... Anyway what I was thinking was maybe get 2-3 people and form a serious squad. Then go up to some quiet place further away maybe abit further than stary im not sure yet. But something like an abondend big building in the middle of nowhere on its own. What we can do then is we can start to fortify the place with sandbags barb wire etc... Then we can have like a storage area where we have backpacks/tents on the floor with ammo/supplies in them. We can also bring in vehicles etc... If we ever think our camp is going to get raided we take it in turns to stay at the camp and keep on guard for trespassers whilst others take a trip into the city's for fresh supplies. Also we do not accept or let anyone near our camp, we see people who are not welcome, we shoot on sight. Hope you guys think this is a good idea! leave a comment below on your thoughts and whether or not you would like to team up!

EXACTLY. Once zombies aren't a threat (by which I mean, you've played for 10 hours and have come to terms with their limitations), you have very few choices for further entertainment. I've never seen any vehicles except for bikes (and in over 100+ hrs of DayZ, i've only seen two) so while I can appreciate that being an end-game situation, I think the truth is that too many people hoard vehicles for that to ever be a viable option for the average joe. If you no longer need good stuff or at least understand where that rabbit hole inevitably leads, the game is super boring. I took up the medic stick just to have something to do, but I certainly understand banditry. Even if you die with all your top tier stuff (because you're actively hunting other humans), who cares? Now you have an excuse to start looting again. I will say that most hunting in Cherno/Electro is just in poor sport. Real men hunt Stary and NWAF. EDIT: Duping has to be fixed, first and foremost. It's cool to talk about there being limited military spawns, but most top-tier stuff is a tenth of a percent (1/1000) chance in the first place. Duping leads to L85s, AS50s, Camos, etc all over the place.

So a couple of my clan mates were wanting me to set up a private hive server on an extra box I have in my house but I was just wondering if I do this does that put my official server in jeopardy of being blacklisted? We still want to have the official server running and will still play on it but they want a server to just dick around on as a second character and maybe have extra vehicle spawns and stuff around for players and ourselves, since on our server a lot of the time we use up a lot of the vehicles and it kind of sucks that nobody else gets to have any. We don't even try to hoard them we just have a bunch of players so we need a few vehicles to get around.

Yes most houses have bikes, I doubt the fleeing citizens went on foot, this post pops up every now and then and it gets turned down for the same reasons. 1) A million bikes is laggy 2) There is no RP reason for bikes in every house hold (russians feel free to correct me) 3) Vehicles are supposed to be rare (bikes are very useful and silent) 4) Novelty =/= entertainment Edit: there is also about 10 bikes on the servers already, which equates to 1 in 5. That's a pretty solid ratio, stop searching back yards.

Sometimes on server restarts all tents and vehicles vanish, on another restart they reappear. Hopefully this is the case for you.

Not sure I was wondering the exact opposite of that. I have never seen a vehicle until last night I found a ATV. It seems like a spawn because it was in the middle of a field next to a town (can't remember which one atm, but in the middle of the map.) Then tonight I found a jeep that was loaded with weapons and ammo and other gear, again it too was sitting in the middle of a field near a town. Still kinda new to the game so idk if these are spawns or if people are really bad at hiding their vehicles. Also on both accounts they were not at locations for vehicles on the dayzdb map.

Its getting more and more serious. When my clan's server becomes the thunderdome because a hacker changed how the server spawns people, or someone is head shotting people in rapid succession moving targets at +1000 meters without missing at all its a pain for my clan to legitly repair our vehicles and help gear out our fallen comrades, much less enjoy playing the game. We have lost 2 camps and several vehicles to hackers using the radar esp.

Eh, nope. They're one of the most powerful vehicles in the game. Silent. No need for fuel. Fast on all terrains. If you want one, work for it.

Quick, simple little question, why the fuck would someone want to be a survivor with a water bottle and flashlight while they could just start with a ghillie, NVG, SVD and M9 sil- WAIT, isn't that everything a player spends hours looking for in the game? Better idea time! Civilian/Scavenger: Basic class. Starts with a makarov OR m1911 + 2 mags (maybe he had a conceal carry permit,) watch, 2 cans of food and 2 cans of soda, a flashlight, and 1 bandage. Patrol pack. The only class that starts with a gun. Survivalist/Hunter: Effective at surviving without looting towns, can survive without stepping foot into a civilized area. Starts his game with a hatchet, hunting knife, compass, map, empty canteen, matches, chemlights (randomized color) and Czech backpack. Mechanic/Engineer - Not my best idea. Starts with a crowbar, road flares, chemlights, a jerry can, toolbox, compass, and watch, along with 2 cans of food + 2 cans of soda. Has everything he needs to get out, find parts and vehicles, and fix 'em up. Let's be honest, it's gonna be really difficult to kill anyone with a crowbar, and let alone find a vehicle, therefore I think this class is underpowered. Doctor/Medic: Medical professional who has a holy red armband. Starts with just the czech vest pouch, secondary ammo filled with bandages, 1 can of food, 1 can of soda, 4 epi-pens, 4 morphine auto-injectors, a tent, and his vest pouch filled with blood packs. I know this would require custom skinmaking, but I think it'd be worth it - once he attains 1 murder he loses his armband. This is sort of a reverse-bandit system, as an unwritten rule could arise that doctors are there to help survivors, and bandits should think twice before firing at an unarmed medic (with his kill-virgin armband) who's out to do no harm. But then again, the opposite could happen and doctors could simply pick up a handgun and kill someone who was gonna give them a chance. Even if he killed someone in self-defence, the fact that he had the ability and weapons to do so should declare the fact that he's probably not a trustworthy guy who's just out to give you a blood transfusion.

Me and a friend have been playing on DE 1006 quite a bit over the past 2 days. Yesterday we repaired the heli at skalisty island, flew it off and found a truck, then we proceeded to set up camp over the night. (the heli then blew up as we tried to land on ground that was leaning slightly to the left) When we woke up the tents were empty and truck missing. We thought maybe we were robbed, so we tried again. Much to our surprise the helicopter was there at skalisty again next day, so we repaired it and flew off to find more stuff. After much hard work we had a great base with 4 tents, 3 vehicles and a working helicopter. As we were in our base the server restarted. Now we have a bike where our cars used to be, and the heli is gone. Wtf. The tents still have our stuff in them though. Is this a server specific bug or are vehicles just bugged to shit atm? (yes i saved the vehicles multiple times) Drains all my will to play when nothing is saved after all that work

Yeah we saw it with the heli. It is BEYOND easy to spot tents and vehicles with that thing. I saw the sniper rounds hit the hull, but I wasn't really worried, just keep flying around while my friends tried to find your friend. Funnily enough if it would have shot he would have probably won. There was only three of us there (not including me who was in the heli) and surprise is almost everything in this game.

If you want to learn to fly you should run Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead, go to single player then Armory select vehicles pick any of the helis in there it will spawn you inside a helicopter 100% fixed and you can learn to fly there. It is very awesome and this is how I am learning the feel of arma 2 helicopters at the moment till I find one on DayZ :)

I like the way this is going, alot of my friends agree! Good work Dayz staff. Hope to see atleast 3x the vehicles

I think there might be a way to dupe vehicles. I'm not sure, but today on a US server, in a quad spawn point, there were 2 of them. And I'm sure that someone didn't drive it there because they both were in the same exact unrepaired state.

I get the "they should be rare" argument. I do. But it doesnt' really matter. I have found three AS50's on three chopper crashes and I have only played for less than 3 weeks. I didn't take the first two...not enough ammo/space and it didn't seem practical to me at the time or with my current solo play style (not solo out of choice). The 3rd one was picked up by the group I was with (some guys I have played with twice...one i work with). They already had a couple m107s in their camp. And you would have sworn they won the lottery. But the guy in the group that does most of the scouting, overwatch and sniping...rocks a DMR. I grabbed the DRM off the guy who took the AS50. Loved the DMR until I got smoked and lost it. Want another one. I still just don't think it matters. I have died within sight of my killer every time but once. And that one time I am pretty sure that I was killed from a long range...and i am okay with that. I don't care if the weapon was duped or over powered. Doesn't matter. I was out played. Got in the open...it's my fault I was exposed in a dangerous place. Duping is duping. It's not hard to do. I am sure Youtube will show you exactly how to do it. If I duped...it wouldn't be an AS50 or NVGs. It would be people to play with. Because I honestly think that 4-5 guys/gals working as a team will succeed more times than they fail...regardless of gear. I am proof...three AS50's...you can do it legit. But it doesn't matter. I wouldn't dupe that gun, or it's ammo. Or anything else, because to be honest...a team is what I want more than any particular piece of equipment. Oh...and I'd love a frakin' motorcycle. But I digress. Yes...the AS50 is butt stupid powerful, but so's a head shot from an M24. Yeah, the L85 has wickedly cool optics. A guy with a pair of Binos and some NVGs will get the job done. Oh...and one last note...I must be playing on the wrong frakin' server...because I haven't seen loaded vehicles or a pack of duper kiddies bearing down on me. I am jealous now...I want to die to these dupers. Out

Just happened to me and several in my crew on US302 during the "loading..." message. None of us were previously in or near any known vehicles, although all of us had been in vehicles with our current characters at one time or another prior to the logon attempt on this server. We don't have this problem on other servers at the moment.
