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

Just had a teleporter hacker pull all the vehicles to a location far north of the map, killing all the people who were in them. Is there anyway to reset the locations of the vechicles prior because dragging them back one by one is annoying.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Everything we acquired that night was legitimate, this is the server we play on regularly. We have gun stockpiles, and excess gear because we spend more time in game than on the forums complaining. all the vehicles and the camp you saw we got THAT night, and the "Teleporting" must have been the bicycle ride from NWAF because we were hunting vehicles for our badass camp. You were prone in the middle of OUR camp, and you're surprised you got shot? Fuckin' jokes. Hacking may be running rampant but so are crying bitches on the forums.

Right? Like a river that ran from somewhere mid coast and ended up in the north. It would allow boats to travel north, and would have many crossings, but a few main ones that vehicles could cross. Could be a cool place for a toll booth by bandits or firefights. Allow for faster travel up north and around the coast by boat also. I know its unlikely, major map edit. But I can dream

Honestly you guys cant blame us for being mad when we've lost our vehicles now for the third time and we have brought up the use of scripting/hacks or whatever you want to call it because hacks are an everyday factor for hundreds of games and nobody on this server can relate to this even if it has happened to you in the past.....we have worked hard for every vehicle that you guys took from us and you cannot blame us for being mad at the fact that this happened three times in a row so therefore we have the right to blame hacks/scripts all we want even though it may or may not be true, not only that but, as we were trying to restore what we once had the server just restarts another "coincidence" Things like this have made my team and I mad to the point where it isnt even worth finding you guys and getting are stuff back. We arent mad because we've lost our vehicles but we are mad for these supposed "coincidence's"

I have found a tent city on a server I was playing on. I was on my bicycle looking for some stashes and found a tent city :D and shit I was moist because they literaly had verything even one satchel charge hehe :) but i came in with an AKM and czech back pack and came out with a coyote pack M249 M9SD ghilie suit and a NV goggles hehe but no other vehicles :( so basically If i die i know where to go to get some gear... hopefully one day I go there and they're not there waiting to kill meh :(

I want to preface this by saying that I am admin of two servers and that I have been playing DayZ since winchesters had pellet rounds. I've been playing since 1.6 or 1.5 and never encountered any serious hacking until 1.7.1.5. So like any clan, we have a base. 7 vehicles, lots of tents, some barbed wire and sandbags, all that jazz. About two weeks ago, we logged in and noticed something different. ALL the trees in the immediate area are knocked over, all tents are flattened, all vehicles are now burnt wrecks. As I'm running around my base, three satchel charges go off simultaneously and I am killed instantly. This process was repeated three times over the course of a week. Server gets restarted, destroyed vehicles respawn, we drive around, come back to base, find ALL our stuff destroyed. We get out to see if we can salvage anything from the wreckage. Almost instantly, there is automatic fire. Most of us die, and all of us that are left are blow up by satchel charges. Luckily, i was up on a hill next to our base, I see a guy running around in a ghillie. He runs up to our Ural, DOESNT check the inventory and blows it up with satchel charges. Thats where the hacking suspicion comes in. Any normal player would check a vehicle for loot, any normal player would loot my teamates bodies, any normal player would take atleast one car. But no this guy strolls along and then just logs out. His job is done, everyones dead, hes done griefing people. About a minute later, I notice lots of objects in the sky. They get closer, they look like arrows. Then they get closer, theres easily 100 of these objects between me and the farthest distance i can see. They were bombs. They explode and i die. I then get kicked from MY server. My friend goes to ban this guy in the server's R-Con. The ban option doesnt work to ban him. We try to do it manually. His information is hidden from our server logs. He was technically, never in the server. This hacking thing has gotten out of control. Admins are powerless to stop it. Its completely ruining the game. Hackers have more control than anyone else, even on Battleye "protected" servers. They're not even there to PK or play the game. They are there for the sole purpose of griefing. We cant even fight or see them. They will teleport and blow you up with satchel charges. I find this incessant trolling to be outrageous. And moreover, the information to use these hacks is readily available and its only getting worse. I'm having a hacker encounter every three hours of play. It would be every 5 mins if i spawned at my base. After the event above occurred, we shut down our server for three days and completely changed the name. Iogged in yesterday. I took out my map and looked at we're our base was. There was an "X" on the map at my bases exact coordinates. It had some text next to it. "We're back"

Please...there now that i balanced the rudeness... I can't stand it i have lost over 5 vehicles and multiple tents both with AMAZING gear due to them just fucking vanishing (sometimes the tents reappear but never the cars) Seriously, it makes playing this game even more repetitive since the only option is to hold whats on your person and wait to die and get annoyed. The game right now is just the embodiment of the "shooting the shaggy dog" trope...ya it can be fun at times but only for so long. Granted maybe it is because im not a sick fuck who gets his rocks off for virtually killing and griefing every other player, and if this games "vision" or purpose is to just be an open world deathmatch griefing machine than ya i guess it isn't the right mod for me...but it can still be fun....it is just with all these bugs and constant (and sometimes unnecessary) new features; tank traps wire fencing, sand bags....(are you fucking kidding me) it just gets boring real fast is all...i know not all people crave more...(look at call of duty, lol comparing this game to CoD is actually appropriate since they are both massively repetitive and without significant change each just adds a neat little new feature to keep people coming for more). BUT HEY im just saying it would nice if shit would start getting fixed instead of trying to add more, though it seems that they are adding more and also trying to fix things at the same time...i don't really see why they are doing that when no matter what each time something new comes along so due a slew of new problems i just wish they would focus solely on fixing or adding things. It seems they still have plans to expand upon dayz...though i don't think by much (meaning i don't think they plan to make this some kind of fallout game with zombies; as in trade and reform of civilization) and because of that i think it would just be more fun for everyone if problems were focused on getting fixed instead of new features that add even more problems be implemented. BUT HEY im just someone who is part of the minority here (kind of, i at least hope the blind hardcore loyalists would at least recognize not everything is intended GLITCHES EXIST YOU GUYS)
