Hey, had not found the suggestion yet on my quick search on the forum. Can you point me to the thread? Would really be interested to read it. Regarding hive server: I'm not 100% sure, but I thought the hive was only storing player related information (status/equipment/position). The world information (loot, corpses, vehicles etc) is saved on the server. So the only additional thing the hive would have to save is one location for each player _per server_. And this is not even that necessary, it could just discard your position if you change servers. This would encourage sticking to a server as well.

You can still put vehicles outside the map. You just need to make sure you save them every (or within) twenty-four hours so they don't disappear. At least these are the rules my group has followed and we still have out heli's.

west side of the map behind myshkino look around the forests there, vehicles in about 50% of servers are hidden there (also a white truck spawn at the end of the road at the barn)

Well, I didn't see any patch notes bout that, that's why I'm asking. If people can't hide stuff ouf of bounds anymore and I still can't find any vehicles, then I just suck at searching.

i know this is more of a standalone feature than one for the mod but its probably possible to script this. would be cool if you could modify things on vehicles like the tires, windows, machinegun mounts on cars, etc. the pickup could easily be turned into a technical. the gaz would be sweet with some neverflat tires and the tractors shovel attatched to its grill.

sooo rocket u son of inspired divinity xD, maybe u can add a command like your "minecraft"-vision use it? i mean exactly like "save-all" for admins or something like that. This would be awesome because at the moment my server doesnt saving vehicles ( 1 ATV works without any problems ) but any other car will despawn + sometimes v3s/ural/bus turn into a bike after serverrestart and tents dont save gear and will be wiped sometimes. I hope u fix this asap and dont adding other less minor priority features. I love this game but the gamemechanic / basics whatever should be fix with a higher priority. but you and your team does good work, keep on! :beans: :thumbsup:

well yeah all destroyed vehicles respawn on reset sometimes at their original position, where they were destroyed, where they were last saved, or the last time they were at 1 place for 30 seconds changes depending on server

What are you talking about? Vehicles do not respawn on server reset. If they've been destroyed and saved as destroyed, it takes more than a reset to bring them back.

Easiest way is to do supply / scavenge runs: - Here are some examples: 1. Search north parts of map for camps and vehicles. If you find good stuff and can't carry more just write down coordinates etc. 2. Scavenge vehicle parts from industrial loot places. 3. Hunt animals and cook meat / Search towns with supermarkets/high residential loot for food and beverages. 4. Hoard water bottles and do refill runs to nearby water source for those.

Ok guys iv played DayZ since its beginning. Im not in a clan, i run with a small 3/4 man squad. Here is my guide to the game and what I think is what you should all be doing. This is btw in response to all the "got gear and theres nothing else to do" threads. These are our 3 steps to never getting bored of this mod. Believe me the same shit will not happen twice, it will not ever get boring :) 1) Ok so to begin with i want to outline the fact that THIS IS A PVP GAME. So...when i spawn at a coastal town, (whichever, i know them all well) i grab whatever gear i can. I dont kill unarmed players. If i run into an armed player i stalk and kill them to gain the gear that i dont have. (I believe cherno and elektro to be the "beginners" grounds for pvp, so if your still a noob, you should stay here to hone your pvp skills). Once i have atleast an enfield, a pistol and some supplies, i head north. 2) I travel as far as stary sobor. (this i believe to be the "medium" grounds for pvp, i am wary of snipers here) This is the point where most people are moaning that thats it, game is done. Couldnt be more wrong. This is where the game really kicks off. Just to clarify if we see a weak geared player, we will often let them loot the camp (as bait hahaha :P) while we sit in wait for the more elite players to come along. If they find a sweet weapon we will likely kill them. 2 of us provide overwatch as the others loot the military camp. If a threat (elite player) is discovered we neutralize that threat, thus potentially gaining even more useful gear. We fight and loot here until we are happy with our loadouts and atleast one of us has a sniper of sorts. YES we do die but thats all in the fun of DayZ. You make a mistake and learn from it. We wait for any casualties to make it back to stary and with one last check on the local deer stands, (for players, not loot) We head to the NW airfield for the grand finali. 3) (The NW airfield i believe to be the "Hard" and most challenging pvp area in the mod. This attracts the big game killers) Before we arrive we make peace with the fact that this may end in our untimely demise. We first split in to two groups. We position ourselves around 100/500 meters away from each barracks, depending on the weapon we have equipped. We make sure at least one of us can clearly see into the barrack windows (incase of server hopping fools). We ambush ANYONE here. No holds barred action. One of us always has a wheel in his inverntory. In case we stop a vehicle with a wheel shot, we can fix it and evac in some unlucky clans truck ! More often than not, this plan ends in death for all of us, but man is it a rush !! If no clan comes with vehicles when its getting late, wel log there and perhaps pick a more populated server the next time we play. Death or Glory at the NWAF is our motto :) BTW all the way from when we leave the coast, we are constantly keeping an eye out for crashed heli's. Finding one or two of these means we can skip step 2. I know some people do not like bandit acts, but we are among the few TRUE bandits. We ONLY target elite players and those that pose a threat. You will NEVER see any of us in cherno with an as50. That shit is for pussy wannabe bandits. So........If your one of these wannabe's, Follow this guide and become a true bandit, IF your up to the task. If you die, hey you get to start over !! endless playability !!

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??

this is why clans hoard vehicles. so they are not mistreated by the "other players on the server

I wouldn't mind more vehicles of all types, I think it would create more interesting scenarios, like potential vehicle ambushes, or driving your vehicle right into a combat area to pick up a buddy who's pinned down (since you could always pick up another vehicle later if things don't go well). At the moment they're mostly used to just ferry people long distances through low traffic routes.

Except as anyone who actually plays the game will tell you (and by play I don't mean just running along the roads like a fucking moron), you run into camps OFTEN. I've stolen many vehicles, and had 1 or 2 stolen from me. This is like the newbie complaining that he doesn't start with an AS50, and that he has every right to the weapon just by virtue of checking Cherno for loot. You're a shit player, get better.

then you must be horrible at the game ive been through 20 servers in the past month and had a vehicle on each one. learn where to find them, or go to a spawn and hop for one. or just go behind myshkino barn walk down the hill and search the forests around there. like 50% of servers will have vehicles hidden there

Get vehicles and establish camps. If the servers anything like ours you won't be able to consistently keep everything.

I'm finding this issue very irritating it does not make it clear that by leaving a server and joining another you vehicles won't follow you so i apparently have a ural saved or maybe not saved I'm not sure but i did save it... seems the system for this is a little flaw'd and yes I know being able to hope server with you vehicle would be some what a Problem for game dynamics. anyhow was just wondering if someone could explain the ins and outs of the current vehicle and tent saving.

Not only did you hide vehicles, but you hid them on a server you don't regular? Get out there and find them shits son.

So, my group is fully geared up. We have every gun in DayZ at our camp and a lot of vehicles, so what now? Going on killing eventually just gets boring and I'm wanting to know what you guys do in your free time

This is a bit off topic, but they should just increase the boundary all the way up north and have trees. That's it though. Cmon, we should have a massive ass forest to the north that someone can't just run the debug line and see bases/vehicles with. If someone finds my crap I want it to be because they basically earned it by searching so damn far. The debug line shouldn't even be there tbh, it should either extend past there and have more trees or make it so nobody can actually move past that point!

Next time, pack a 203. I have a story like that, somewhat. I practiced on the Editor after finding a bandit camp. I had an HE203 with me and my intent was to blow their vehicles up fabulously. So I speant hours practicing, like I said, in editor. That night, I don't know how many was there, but I got them. 5 murders, 2 vehicles done in. I was an idiot though and never took the screenshot, so I don't expect anyone to believe me. That's okay though, I know what happened, and I laughed. They had the vehicles again by morning, but I really don't care...it's not like I expected to make a dent. They never found me though!

Get me a fix for: * All my items vanishing from my tent when the server restarts * All my vehicles vanishing when the server restarts And i'll be playing the game again.

Hey guys, I'm looking for newly started servers I can play on, since it seems all the established ones have all the vehicles hidden away without much excitement of encountering vehicles on the road. Anyone own one/know of any?

so myself and another co-admin a server and have come across a discussion over 1st person vs 3rd person, we both feel 3rd person is not in the best interest of our server however we would love to see the ability to enable 3rd person for vehicles only... unsure if this has been discussed before...thoughts? ideas?
