US128 has a group of geeks cheating gear and teleporting vehicles back to themselves once they lose them to being outplayed 3 times in a night the fuckin losers names are Ryan Jacob Nathan Naizo Cryoquasm the little kids have tents at 15-70 north west of myshkino and they just spawn in new gear after getting raided. their aim blows dick so it wasnt suprising to find out they cheated because they accomplished nothing in their lives.

So my bud and I were rolling around in a shitty car for a few hours checking out car spawns. Server decides to restart after we find a boat that was grounded :( So i reconnect after restart and it starts me on a new character. BUMMER. I spawn in Elektro and my bud drives the crappy car to elektro to find me. He meets me East of there by the Power Plant and all of a sudden behind him an Off-Road truck comes zooming by. I grabbed a gun out of the trunk in time to spray the crap out of his tires. Not sure if i hit or not, i sprinted into Elektro. I see the truck parked between the hospital and school wrecked into a light post and a man running into the office. He has what turned out to be an M4 CCO SD and started looting the school since apparently i popped both front tires :). At this point I have 6 rounds left in my PDW (only gun i had). I get over by the wall by the hospital and have my eyes on the truck and instruct my friend who has an AS50 to come snipe this dude so i can get the truck and to bring tires to fix it. The adversary apparently saw me I think, either that or was just camping the truck and got on the very top of the school and laid down. I could only see his head from time to time to verfiy he was still there. My bud eventually gets into sight of him after about 10 minutes and takes him out and then heads down. I sprint up there, loot him. Get a Coyote Backpack, his M4, and a few other things. He gets down with the wheels, fixes it up and i take off with him and drop him back off at the car. P.S. Thanks Jimmy for the truck. Our clean get away wasn't as clean as planned. A barrier failed to render properly and i ended up hitting it and busting another tire. 30 minutes later we find one and get it repaired. We started heading back to our camp. My buddy falls a bit behind and takes a wrong turn. He sees a Ural on the road and then a helo crash right by it. I tell him to gtf away and scout out the area. I zoom in on my truck and hop out and binoc the heli. Some dude was barely visable under the tail looking at us. I take some shots at him, he moves around (was about 3-400 yards from me :( so no hits i don't think). Takes my buddy one shot to get his head between the tail and the ground and he's dead. We go loot him of his FN/FAL APV and HIS Coyote backpack. Then we stash our car and take the loaded Ural. We go back to camp. Save the Ural and Truck then hop on our ATV and go back and pick up our car that we popped the tires out of so no one could take it. Yay! Now our camp is stocked with a full Ural, some tents, a BUNCH of military weapons and medical equipment, an off road truck, a sedan, and an ATV. All for just 2 people. Haha anyways, later bandits! P.S. We logged in the next day and the Ural and Truck were gone :( either ways it sucks but I hope it was a server restart issue even though we saved them multiple times and not a grand theft auto issue :(

I have a bike I saved a few days ago. How long do I have to interact with it again before it disappears?

I wish vehicles were more common. Its unrealistic how rare they are. Even in a zombie apocolypse there would be plenty of working cars left behind. Other then cars, there would also be even a ton of bicycles. Everyone owns a bike. I have like 5 in my garage. It would make the game a lot funner if everyone could get their hands on a vehicle at least a few times. I got to ride a bike for about 50 feet then it fell over. Vehicles are way too hard to repair for a single person to do.

Recently there was a purge of tents outside of the map area. Forced many players to stop exploiting the map design and save their gear within the map boundaries. Personally, I have not/will not set up camp beyond the borders. Was this helpful? Have all of the tents/vehicle camps simply moved back already... Question: Should their be nightly purges of camps set outside of the map? Players trying to hide vehicles will be most impacted, especially choppers.

So, we (not everyone from our group, excluding me) decided to start over, basically respawn on the coast, with no gear. Before that, our Ural got stolen, so we decided to just get rid off our cars and start over anyways, because it was starting to get boring, because we had around 12 vehicles, amazing gear, NVGs, GPSs, Rangefinders, M107s/AS50s, M4 SDs, M9SDs, etc. So here's a clip showing, few of my groupies destroying all the vehicles we had. Short clip, hope you like it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZD7onKZTaA4[/media]

I'd like to see more weapons from arma 2 in beta or full ver of the mod. More civilian vehicles would be nice too. And you can add not full clips like in Eagle Wing campaign. Ahh and there is Mi-8 wreck model so it could be eastern counterpart for western UH-1Y crashsite and it could spawn eastern weapons. PS:I know it's alpha..:)

I've been playing in this server with my friend for the majority of the day, a couple of hours ago I was suddenly attacked in Cherno. I turned around and noticed the zombies all crowding around a single spot in particular, attacking what seemed to be an invisible player. At first I just assumed this was because I were lagging, and that the players model hadn't loaded fully. After he killed me, I spawned again and began heading towards where my friend was. I eventually tabbed out of the game just south-east of Kamenka on the coastline, beside some rocks to respond to a PM. When I tabbed back into ARMA, I turned and saw a player crouched behind me with a scoped primary and silenced secondary. The first thing I had noticed was that his model was covered in blood and looked injured. Shortly after he dropped a pile of loot including weapons and ammo beside me and then suddenly turned invisible, I tabbed out of the game to start fraps, then I instantly began recording upon getting back in the game. Thankfully he was still there, heres what I managed to record: (Me and the friend I was playing with were VC'ing whilst I was recording) http://youtu.be/7oMYODGC-FU Unfortunately I never got his name as he was invisble, and because we were playing on a server which prevents you seeing the names of other players. As stated in the video this happened around 19:25pm-19:40pm BST. The players in the server are shown during the video. I hope this is enough proof, and sorry for the over-descriptive post. I just wasn't sure on how much detail to include.

Players work so hard for vehicles, they just don't want to give them up even when they are faced with ridiculously horrible odds of keeping their cars in running shape. Why is it OK for the physics to be broken and kill players and progression for no reason whatsoever? Why does BI continue to allow this to occur?

Hello, Quick random question. How do you know if vehicles are on a server? Or are they on anyway? Me and friend spent 9hours running around the entire map, started at Cherno and went far right, up and around to the top airfield and then weaved back down and did not find a single one to fix or do up. Not sure if they are on all servers or turned off. Also I know what 3D thing is, but what is the CH: on/off thing mean? Not sure what CH is. Been on Dayz all day today so off to bed, just want to know what servers have them on so we can play and find them. Too much running lol. Thanks

So me and a mate had a UAZ, we hid it in the north...next day it was gone and a green bike was at the place where the UAZ stood. Nothing special, the car was hard to hide...so maybe someone found it in this short time. Then we found a ATV. As its easy to hide we drove to a place where no player should be likely to look for it. Then we hid it in a tree. It was not spottable! It was perfectly hidden, if we wouldnt have known that the ATV was standing there, we wouldnt have found it again. Next day (today) ATV is gone, green bike standing beside the spot... So is this coincidence or what happened there?

Hi there, guys does anyone know whether there are vehicles in this hotfix? couse I lost all my saved vehicles in multiple servers that updated to 1.7.2.3 and I can not find any ...

Is the only mostly safe option to drive them off the map? Atvs, motorcycles and bikes are easy to hide because you can just stick them in a bush but larger vehicles are almost impossible to hide on the map. My friends and I can never seem to keep the larger vehicles as someone always manages to find them and very quickly too if I might add. We hide them in low traffic area's far away from the coast and lucrative loot locations.

So you want a vehicle? Can't be arsed trying to farm their spawnpoint with tons of spare parts? How about look for clan camps! That's right! It takes far less time and effort to steal other people's shit than to build your own! Oh and it might also have some nice gear! We've got 7 vehicles over 3 servers, none of the fixed by us, 100% of them stolen from others. I'm telling you, this is the way it's meant to be played

My friend and I scoured Chernarous and the area around it for like an hour and didn't find one repairable vehicle. Is there something that will help me find any repairable vehicles like color change or their common locations?

I think that customizing your hard earned vehicles would add a nice touch, i'm talking about adding a tag on the side, or re-enforcing the bumpers to with stand more damage, possibly adding spikes to the front to puncture anything that stands in your path. Just small modifications that enhance your vehicle and make it "YOURS". Constructive comments are appreciated, trolls will be shot and their beans taken....

In all my weeks of playing DayZ I have barely seen any vehicles. Once a broken helicopter that required endless amount of stuff to fix and one flying in the distance. That's it. Not a single jeep, car, bus or bicycle. Nothing. It kinda annoys me that we (group of 3) are searching through all of the vehicle spawnpoints on the marked map and still haven't even seen a single vehicle. Not even a broken one. If it's meant to be like this, I demand change. If it's a bug or glitch, I demand immediate fix. As it is now, it's incredibly unrealistic and boring.

I'm not new to vehicles in DayZ. I have found well over 15 vehicles for myself and/or the group I play with in the entire duration I have been playing DayZ. Obviously not in one fell swoop, not a hoarder. I have seen almost every vehicle in the game mode that is legal. I have seen illegal vehicles, and have had the admin of my home server remove them. Now, I ask, is it possible for vehicles to have other skins? A team mate just found a Motorcycle, with a red body and flame decals. That seems alarming to me, I know the Motorcycle can be found, but with that skin? Let me know.

In such an apocalypse the vehicles would have been sitting around rusting for months/years. even new cars need maintenance so these should be the same. the concept is simple , all car parts degrade over time. The faster you drive , the quicker the rate at which the tires and engine degrade. At average speed they would degrade fully in about the time it takes to use up 3 full fuel tanks. whereas full speed it would be 2. This would add a little more depth and feature to the mod/. in before "boo hoo i spent years getting tires/engine parts"

Which version of the game did you purchase? STEAM or RETAIL or MIXED: -Steam *Are you running an Arma 2 OA beta patch? If so what version?: -Yes, 9444, and playing on Atlanta 17 which runs 1.7.1.5 *Which method are you using to launch the game? I.E Sixupdater/steam/batch file: Batch file *What is the Error/Problem you're having? Please provide screenshots if possible: Recently found a motorcycle and me and my friends have been using it to get around. Hide it in one spot by a tree, out of the way, and not between two resource points. After some sleep we get up check its there. YAY! Tires and engine are yellow yellow so i get some more repair it up to green across the board, save it, go to work in RL. Yes im very sure i saved it. Twice. get home from work and its gone. Assumed stolen. Sadness follows. Server resets and on a whim i check for the last spot i saw it and its back. but not only back but back and in its earlier unrepaired state. ok odd so i take it for a spin bring it back save it, twice, log out and its gone again when i get home from work. Its a odd problem. Im not sure what to make of it. Anything i might be doing wrong? Also there was a bicycle my friend has that was disappearing and reappearing at the same time with no of us touching it.

Ok, so the map is a 225km² soviet society and have 1 vehicle for 10 m² and theyr not working even if i try to fix it, so why i need to fix vehicles that i find over a 400m tall mountain? Super zombies went there, destroyed half of them and stole the engine to make me go down to the city and look for an engine part intact inside a infested industry, just a lie man, over 20 thousand ppl are playing dayz every day. cars would b more efficient if abundant, engine parts ,wheels and fuel tanks are hard to find, now survivors spawns at the beach with no way to travel the rest of the map, good quantity of vehicles on streets of cities like cherno and elektro and other towns and villages would make the game only more dynamic and realistic. My Suggestion, make vehicles less op but more abundant, less gas tank capacity ( real ones, 30l for atvs and jeeps,40 to 50l for cars and pickups and up to 100l to a bus, less inventory slots inside vehicles, 50 itens,10 weapons slots and 2 bag slots inside an atv? thats magic man, this game is a zombie apocalypse rpg, its suppose to aproach to reality. Vehicles are just a legend in dayz, if u have one u dont need a camp, u dont need personal inventory, u dont need nothing more, just travel and kill other survivors and zombies collecting everything and stocking on it, its like u just won the game, if u lost one (whats not hard when u are driving an atv or motorcycle and other bugged vehicles) u just stop playing the game (the time u will stop playing depends what was ur vehicle and what u had inside it, (personal experience)) It would just make the game more dynamic,exciting and realistic if we could find cars more often. PS: Sorry for the bad english.

After finally removing off-map camps(thanks god) it got pretty difficult to hide especially Trucks and other vehicles from other people. This sugestion is also an possible solution to fix the Problem of an clan with a helicopter finding now every vehicle on the map. Add an comourflag net, which can be used to hide vehicles better. This net is already implemented in arma2 and could be placed like a tent. This item should of cause be very rare and just in industrial buildings only. With this there could be also brought in military tents as tent, where you can store more stuff than in an normal one. I hope you like this idea and sry because of my bad English, it's not my first language.

I very rarely find vehicles. Rented our own server and cant find designated vehicles according to the www.dayzdb.com/map So Im just wondering, When do vehicles get reset back to the original spawn points? It seems the markers on the map for them are never accurate. How do I get a vehicle. I am so tired of running. Preferably a bike.

Is repairing a car or truck worth the effort? Does one require any more work or parts than the other? (Not reffering to choppers, motor bikes, or ATV's, just normal trucks and sedans) Also is there any specific area where car parts frequently spawn?

Hello. I would like to ask how many vehicles are there in one server?
