I've been playing this mod for awhile now, and personally, I haven't seen a ton of progress toward the end goal, which is of course a standalone game. The main reason for this IMO is a lack of focus. When we have an update, it seems like everything gets updated. Zombies are different, new weapons/items are introduced, something happens with vehicles, weather effects are changed, behind the scenes changes are being done to the HIVE, etc. What happens as a result is the game usually breaks in some way, and then we have to wait on hotfixes. I think the developers need to have tunnel vision if they want to put this out as a standalone game. What I mean by that is focus on one aspect in an update and don't worry about anything else until that one aspect is as good as you can possibly make it. For example, zombies are a huge issue right now. IMO, the focus should be on them. Doesn't make much sense to me that we're worrying about bear traps, reintroducing helis, etc., when we still have zombies that can see for miles, run faster than players, break your bones/make you bleed easily, walk through walls and zigzag when they run at you.

I can't tell you if it was a bug or not. I myself have not lost any gear to bugs (that I know of) for a while now, however I have seen it happen with friends leaving guns behind by accident when placing items in backpacks, maybe it overflows and kicks items out on the ground? Also with putting too many items in tents and vehicles they can be left on the ground and might not be seen.

I want to add a plug for Ryahn and HFB, after contacting him and having excellent communication they have re-installed our server and our Ghillie / camo problems are fixed! As noted above all tents and vehicles were un-affected and in the same state as we had left them. I know there was alot of flack over HFB being posted but in our case Ryahn was prompt and courteous.

Usually those vehicles are being used by many players who have banded together to form a clan/tribe/etc. Seems kind of "realistic" to me. You need to stop sucking and play the game.

Do vehicles need to be destroyed in order to respawn? I assume that the north estern smaller airfield is better in loot and the connected danger than the big airport to the west, small military buildings are worth it too, aren't they?

Lol I use /kill ALL the time I also love teleporting everyone and killing them Rollingback to not die and get my vehicles back is great too! I love being an admin...

Server this happened on: US 603 Time that it happened including your timezone: Near 19:35-40 GMT -3 What happened during the incident: At 19:35 GMT -3, somewhere in stary there was a bus, a car and a bike. All of those vehicles where teleported to somewhere in Wilderness. My friend said that something like 10 vehicles spawned with him in a field with no trees and... So, yeah, cheater i guess? _____ No proof about it.

Everyone exaggerates on forums. So let's take your 17 vehicles and half it and take off a couple for good measure. And because you're trying to look cool on the forum, you probably over extended your exaggeration. So lets take a couple more off. I don't think anyone cares about that bicycle and tractor you and your friend stashed somewhere, I really don't.

That's no explanation for 20 vehicles, you need only like 2 vehicles for that group. You will only use like 4 of them actively so just dump them somewhere and let other people enjoy the game too.

I'll give you a server. Mine. We have 17 vehicles hidden in a small 100x100m square. Good luck, and if you do find it enjoy searching again as we already have our next 6 camp locations planned out :P

If it's vehicles you want I recommend doing a camp search. My group is getting close to 20 I think we have 17 as of now. Yes we do hoard them. But there are 12 of us.

the tents will be back after a server restart with all of the loot inside. you aren't destroying shit but the vehicles

here's the score: lazy cunts who can't be asked to do the legwork to find and repair the vehicles or set up a camp: 0 everyone else: 1

Hey guys im a avid Dayz player since i picked it up a little more than a month ago. Couldnt even tell you how many hours ive played....its been a lot. I'm usually on at night for quite a few hours, and sometimes during the day too. SteamID = optionrider420 . I'm lookin for a group of gamers to do some of the more complex parts of this game, like locating vehicles, fixing them, maybe bounty hunting :) holla bak community, lets game...

How long do i have to get back to my vehicle when i died driving it(blood loss) before it respawns?

Tents are still bugged - I didn't have a chance to check mine out fully, because I set it up on the wrong server, packed it back up, went to the correct server and poof, it was gone from my inventory (and the server which I put it up on) Not sure about vehicles, but the one I found a few hours before the new update disappeared. Also the graphical glitches that everyone else has been talking about, occurred @ balota airstrip today. Whenever I glimpsed at the airstrip, the screen turned into a frenzy of fucked up shit. Finally, when I put on my ghillie suit it replaced the suit in my inventory with civilian clothing, but I was still wearing civilian clothing. It also still temporarily resets your stats till you disconnect from the server when you put it on.

It's a hoarding/broken bone simulator. Goal: Hoard ALL the vehicles! Dupe ALL the gear! Break ALL the bones!

Eh, just seach around west and north woods. I pretty much get 90% of my loot from player camps I run into. Ive stolen 4-5 vehicles in just a few weeks. I just takem on joy rides then leavem out of gas on the side of the road for someone else to find.

We are having the Issue ever since 1.7.2.4 as well. Whether it be 5 hours before restart, or 1 minute, vehicles are reverting to 2.3 inventories, dupping the old gear and deleting new gear. Tents are also still wiping all contents on any restart, unless the tents are very old. Any tens placed within the last 2 weeks gets wiped instantly on restart.

I am not that interested in the individual camps, with one vehicle and a tent. Looking for the camps where all of the vehicles are in one place, of no use to anyone.

Cmon, not all. My vehicles are on map, and I took my Ural, UAZ, Quad, and Motorcycle for a lap around the map, through both electro and cherno yesterday. You should see the Screens of the UAZ it got shot to hell.

Please post where you have found player camps(where vehicles and equipment are being hoarded) and what server it is on. Let's even the score so all of us can enjoy the bliss of driving around DayZ!

I am not a server admin, so I don't know the workings of DayZ on the backend. What I am looking for is an explanation of the difference between a server restart and reset, in regards specifically to DayZ. My group and I had finally found a server that seemed stable. According to online stats it had been up and running for months and had been running DayZ from the get go. We decide to make this our camp server and begin scavenging. Over the course of a week or so we built up quite an impressive camp. We had a decent sized tent city and several vehicles. We play EST and the server would restart once each day before we got on. All of our stuff saved after each server restart. Vehicles and tents kept their place and their content. My group and I play through the night. Around 8AM this morning, we are driving along and BAM "Connection Lost". No warning, no red or yellow chain break. Just disconected. I was a little concerened right away given that we were driving along in a car at high speeds when the connection was lost. I figured the server is doing its normal server restart. We wait a few minutes and we are able to get back into the lobby and then a few minutes later we are able to get into the game. After we get back in, we are both in the same spot that we were before the server restarts, sans the car we were driving in. At this point I am just HOPING the car is where we left it in our camp, the last placed we saved it. We trek all the way back to our base camp and EVERYTHING is gone. So, this is where my question comes in. The server restarted evry day before now. This event appeard to be just another server restart, but this time everything went away. So I am calling it a server reset. My question is, what happened to make all our stuff dissapear after days of use and saving, and why? ~Mark

Here is a Camp Data Sheet for keeping track of all your tent locations across servers. After I created this sheet I searched the forums and found that Petllama had also created one here. Didn't want to hijack his discussion. Props to him because his is very helpful and creative! I just didn't need all the options and the blue and yellow highlighted text hurt my eyes. This is a very simple, easy to read sheet. Anyway, if you like it please let me know! (Or if you hate it.) Enjoy! Click here for the Camp Data Sheet on Google Docs.

Similar thing happened to me. My group (about 6 of us) were in Elektro, and it started raining vehicles on the hospital. Not just vehicles, but vehicles full of weapons. Was quite funny.
