I can't help but notice you're at the end of the map... ...and you wonder why the rest of us can't find vehicles for shit

douche bags , really if youre so worried about players taking your vehicles/equipment set you server to private 24/7, seriously i hate these loot then boot admins. cool i killed you and all your buddies, take the best gear , then BOOM struck down by the boot hammer. don't play on clan run servers they hoard all the good stuff and tend to be complete dick heads in these types of situations.

today with few friends we managed to put our hands on a ural civilian, we fixed it and all happy we started raiding everything in four, we even repaired another atv and so we had another one of us following the truck, it was like a little group of survivals like the one you've seen in resident evil: apocalypse, :D we had so much fun by going all around the map for half the day until we reached nadezdhino and we found it burned to the ground, we sincerely thought someone already took the chopper and went missile rampage on it... and so we went through on our vehicles... in the middle our ural lost one wheel.... the beginning of the end, suddenly zombies spawning everywhere around us, the heat was high and we slained as many as we could till the moment all our legs simultaneosly broke and all we could do was lay down.. seconds after we all four died and the epic day ended in the worst kind of way... we had so many plans... so many dreams.. p.s. i don't even have to tell you how many items we collected and how long we would've lasted with that setup. the ural civilian is maybe the best vehicle we found! 200 slots, 50 weapons slot, 10 backpacks, AMAZING! i hate you hacker, :P r.i.p. lil ural a screen of a friend of mine, when we first took the vehicle

Server Name: Originally named DE 326, they renamed to =SaAR= today. Date/Time: Occured at 4pm EST Server Administrator('s): =SaAR= oliquido What happened: We found an admin camp in the NW corner of the map. I took a video of me looting it, It is currently rendering I will post in ASAP. After I initially looted it I got 2 of my friends to meet me up in the area. While sneaking around we saw a player not in our group. We killed the player, then decided to hop in their vehicles and speed off. About 5 minutes after killing the player and making a getaway the session was lost and the server was offline. When the server came back up I rejoined, my friend and I were banned from the server. He then locked the server and changed the name of the server to "=SaAR= Testing" Oliquido (the admin) and a few other clan members were then in the server alone, locked. This server is a repeat offender, this clan has done the same EXACT thing before. SEE HERE http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/40653-admin-abuse-on-de-326-hosted-by-saae-shock-and-awe/ Evidence/Proof I am still uploading the initial video of me looting the camp.

Is it possible to get in a truck, bike etc with a broken bone as long as someone else is driving?

I would hope fuel-less vehicles can become save-free.. it makes sense. must be much more of them also. it turns out there is also animations for the long canoe. they are OFP originals but theres a guy on a forum saying that it could be ported easily to cwc http://ofp.gamepark.cz/index.php?showthis=9905

The only thing preventing you from enjoying DayZ is you! Just look harder for camps, I found 2 vehicles over the last couple of days hidden randomly on the map. Stop blaming people for taking the vehicles just look for them, the maps big but not that big! ;) Good luck hunting!

Snipers and top notch utilities and silencers and NVG are the only end game we have so far other than building vehicles. and its so rare to successfully build a vehicle when playing solo, meaning that the only thing to aim for is a sniper rifle and all the shit to go with it. without that, the aim of the game would be to get a weapon that can shoot just about 3ft infront of you so that you can go into the woods all day munching beans and soda untill you run out, then go into electro to loot the supermarket of all its food and drink so that you can go back out to the forest by yourself again

I have read some threads concerning clans hoarding vehicles as well and read this thread and came to another solution to that issue. In conjunction with the idea of soldier AI's, military grade vehicles should have some sort of AI defense with them. Meaning, how likely are you to find a helicopter sitting in the airfield with no one in sight. Another would be a military transport just sitting there. These vehicles should have some AI in them that could deploy out and defend the said vehicle. So disregard my post of having AI roam the wilderness but rather have AI roam the streets inland in said vehicles. Longshot idea but have a military helicopter keeping cover over airfields and they will have to land periodicly to refuel. Again, just a thought on how much further the idea could be expanded.

i can't find any vehicles either, and i've hit about ten spawn spots for them in one life. nothing. i wish i had a bike, though. quiet, and doesn't need fixing. also quite handy.

Yeah, he was in our server spawning helicopters, enabling godmode, teleporting vehicles and himself. He is banned from our server now.

I think this game could do with some long challenges with persistent rewards that carry over lives. Types that would not bring harm to other players, but things to keep you playing with miniature survival incentives that collect into something overall decent. No murder-related challenges however; not everybody wants to be a killer and shouldn't be punished for it. Here are some hypothetical examples. Tweak the numbers how you please, they arn't the focus. Eat 250 tins of sardines - Sardines now replenish 50% more blood. Perform a blood transfusion on 100 unique players - Can now perform a blood transfusion on yourself. Start 100 fires - No longer need matches in dry weather. Kill 100 animals - Able to recover 1 more meat per animal. Install 50 vehicle parts - Vehicles repaired by you have a little more resilience to damage. Kill 1000 zombies - Slightly easier to avoid detection by zombies in crouch/standing stance. Attract 1500 zombies to your location with gunshots - Every unalert zombie over half the audible distance rolls a 50% chance to ignore you every time a shot is fired. The thing is, it's hard to place in lasting, non-grindy challenges into something that isn't specifically team based. Every reward has to benefit yourself, but being able to achieve them so easily by pestering players at the beach will mean that the challenges won't last. The main point is that each challenge requires finding some resource to expend. Which means travelling and exploring, perhaps grouping up. I like the idea of quests. But they'd need to be heavily diverse to prevent them from becoming bandit ambush routes and nothing more. Of course this whole post is without consideration to the amount of work required for all this.

Not totally sure that the sniper was the hacker but pretty good coincidence that right after we kill said individual the vehicles get teleported somewheres else. What is the point of having it if your not going to use it is what I say :D

Is their a source, is this a bug with 1.7.2.4? or what. And is it the same with vehicles? I've had stuff in tents go missing, along with vehicles. I highly doubt people took everything in the tent because some of it was junk trololol.

If you want to drive vehicles, then why don't you try the core came? A lot vehicles for you.

I was wondering if it was possible for Vehicles to spawn with a few items in them? Because we're trying to figure out weather we encountered somone taking stuff from our camp and leaving behind an ATV with two broken wheels. Or we just encountered a massive tent glitch where server restart deleted all our stuff. Since our camp site is near an ATV spawn it wouldn't surprise me one way or another. Thanks in advanced for anyone who replies.

After our vehicles were stolen we saw a helicopter just cirkeling above us. So we hid. Then. We both died, from unknown cause. It was like we were lying down. And then Poof. Both dead. I have no idea who these guys were. But they ruïned my Ghillie suit. BackPack Cayote, MK 48 Mod 0 Just poof, all gone. I worked so fucking hard on this. Please can admins just investigate US 933? They are now in possesion of a Ural, Helicopter, 2 busses, and a boat in the middle of the field. I don't know who these fuckers were, but please. get them. -Roman

Oh dear, These creeps again. *sigh* I too have come across these imbeciles in the last few days and there is no doubt of foul play. I experienced them on one of the US servers a few days prior to this post. They were walking blatently down the highway coming in to Elektro. Naturally I fired a couple of DMR rounds into Stradh I believe. My shots didnt miss they were direct hitting his head and torso however he didnt drop. His firend Santiago was a different story. He immediately after hearing my shots started firing directly at me. This was a little suspicious seeing as i was quite some distance away. Fortunately he shoots like a blind retard and I counter fired killing him easily. This is where the foul play becomes obvious. After killing Santiago I refocused on to Stradh who had taken cover behind one of those burnt out husk vehicles. Literally 2 minutes after killing Santiago and seeing his death on screen he was back with full gear wearing a ghillie suit. Theres no way thats possible. After noticing I was dealing with hackers I abandoned my position, jumped on my push bike and flawed it out of the city only to find Santiago shooting at me 2 miles up the coast in front of my bike. He didnt have a vehicle and theres no logical way he could have outrun me. I met my end that day.

Tired of not finding vehicles? Then stop looking for them and play the game, the only thing that can help you find a vehicle is luck.

I was playing on US311 with my friend and we were by our camp. Suddenly our vehicle burst into flames and we both died at the same time. We weren't near our ATV but we could see it. Soon after all other players left the server as if too suggest similar happened to them and annoyed them. - I disconnected to see the server was then locked. My Friend is still currently on the server and only one other person is on there. We had a few vehicles and tents and lots of good gear like : GPS and DMR And NVG's . Is there a way to salvage that ? My point in the end is that this doesn't seem right and sounds crazy. The server is now having a scheduled restart. I joint another server to check if it was the restart but i do not have my gear and i am re spawned on the coast Please could someone look into this ? Thanks - Sharpboy

that car pushing idea would be intresting and yes we need more vehicles cuz there is a lot of guys who has like 10+ cars @ there camps and its imposible to find new cars i have played this game for almost 3 moths and havent found any car yet :(

Vehicles are rare. They'll always be rare. Even my group which has a Huey and like 3 other cars still has trouble finding them. Don't worry you'll find them eventually.

I might start sever hopping on spawn locations, it's a thing I really dislike, but I also think it's unfair that only a few people hoarde all their vehicles in one place, which may even be off map, effectively preventing me from enjoying the full content of dayz. Fucking hoarders, I wanna drive ;_;

Wrong. Locking a server allows a specific group of players to farm loot and vehicles without the risk of competing enemies, therefore gives them a tactical advantage. Server takedown is an impartial shutdown that favors no specific group, neither member players nor competing players can play, and therefore is inherently different from locking.

907 Player cow was spawning vehicles and teleporting around map. Player - Cow, gets mad that he is being killed and teleports all to the thunderdome. Server dies out. Enjoy
