nope just remove the ability to save weapons on server in tents/vehicles till it is fixed. is it that hard? you are retarded.

I always thought it was certain number of guns and/or packs and THEN a certain number of items. I thought the guns and packs were treated differently by storage objects (vehicles, tents, ect...).

Serverjump on: 1) new servers (high serial like de 1040) 2) on spawnlocations at the edge of the map 3) that just rebooted (briefing/setting up on server browser) I found 3 toyota hilux, 2 urals, a bike & a bus like this. Toyota's were on 3 servers out of the 6 or 7 that i tried. Urals were 2 out of 3 servers. Bike was next to the ural on a server. Bus was hidden in the forest behind the ural spawnpoint. As long as you keep these 3 things in mind it'll take you 10mins max to find a vehicle. It's pointless to try and find vehicles on just any server. Servers that havnt restarted recently and that have clans on them will have no vehicles at all on the spawning points actoss the entire map. You can look forever and still wont get one.

A while back a heli was spawned(by a hacker) and abandoned on my main server. After an epic long fire fight, a clan ended up taking it and flying it off. I've spent a lot of time since doing some 'back country' atv exploration looking for where they landed it. I've found more camps/tents then I could(be bothered to) count. Only 4 so far had vehicles, and only one camp had more then one vehicle. I've found at least 20 vehicles. Almost all were in the middle of nowhere(no camps anywhere near by) and had a tire shot out. This leads me to believe that the vehicle shortage isn't caused by people hoarding vehicles at camp, but instead by hackers teleporting vehicles into the middle of no where and shooting out one of the tires so that even if someone does stumble accross it they cant drive it...

yea but it's nice to have a vehicle. Solo players are usually the ones doing the most walking since clans and teams have vehicles.

I feel that bikes should be more common and disappear a short time after you get out of it. I was thinking like if a bike isn't rode for an hour, it disappears and goes back to its spawn point.I can see vehicles being rare and uncommon but bikes should be plentiful.

You can't find vehicles because you suck at the game. People who know what they're doing are running into vehicles, fighting other groups, and moving camps.

Was playing today 7/29/12 approx 3:40pm -7 GMT Entered the game and was playing for a few hours and found a bicycle, first vehicle I found ever; suddenly after 20 minutes of going around I was teleported to a shady field where I noticed a few players and other vehicles they have horded and was promptly shot by the admin team. or any players granted admin authority. what can be done about this blatant act of admin abuse! very disappointing about the level of control these abusive admins have over servers accessible to the public players.

not the admin, but same issue on the server i have been playing on. since earlier today all the tents and vehicles despawned. waiting for a restart to see if they will come back.

Dayz seems to be more geared towards farther into the apocalypse where civilization and most working vehicles are gone. It is not set at the start where much of civilization is still intact. Having bikes disappear is an interesting idea but there will probably a lot of people that will object to this.

Bloodpack Bloodpacks can be used to replenish lost health by the usage of another individual. Now, this suggestion is what I am aiming for, "bloodpacks". I love bloodpacks but do we really need a partner in order to regenerate your health? I mean, we could use the bloodpack for ourselves instead of just getting a partner which is really hard to find especially if you don't try. Many times, it irritates me to see that you can't use the bloodpack on yourself and I always die due to this kind of thing. I have low health and bleed out, yet I can't use it. Is there any way we can implement this into the game? It would be pretty sweet if we could organize it somehow. For example, using a bloodpack on your character will replenish your health but in order to use another one, you have to wait a decent amount of hours in order to use another. Probably let the bloodpacks be rare to find in the world map maybe? Health bar The health bar. Yep, 12000 blood is what we like to call a health bar. Could we somehow raise the health bar to 20000 maybe? Since the current health bar (12000) allows you to become a easier target by getting slaughtered by bandits or getting eaten to death by zombies and bleeding out. We should boost this up abit because one time, I was running in the field and I got shot in the waist. I fell down to the ground and started to bleed out, leading to my death afterwards. Melee I sometimes use my hatchet to instantly kill zombies but I can't do it by just standing still. I mean, in reality, we would be running at a zombie and hitting him across the neck with a fire axe while running. Could we do that too probably? A new animation that allows the player to walk or run while wielding a axe, therefore hitting a zombie while doing this action. I get hit alot while using the hatchet because standing still (in order to swing the hatchet) makes you a easier target to get clawed up. Broken bones You fall off a cliff and your leg is fractured. Now you can't crouch or walk but only go prone. Now, going prone in the middle of nowhere and trying to reach a hospital is fucking annoying. Why not just get up for a decent amount of time (either in crouch or walk) before falling back down into the prone position? It would take a few seconds in order to get up in the crouch or walk animation again. Also, please provide more medication in order to heal broken fractures. Skills Each individual has their own skills. On the gender pick, you can pick a skill such as engineering to repair broken down vehicles or add new upgrades, be a medic and use medication more well than others, firearms expert who can deal more damage to opponents and has less shake while panicing, you get what I mean right? This is exactly what I want but I don't think that is going to fit well in the DayZ mod, don't you think? Backpack capacity Depending on backpack you find, once you wear it, you can carry more items in your inventory. Some backpacks are rare to find and some are easy to scavenge for. The larger the backpack, the more capacity in items you can carry. Criticism is appreciated - be it positive or negative -, it is welcome amongst this subject.

Well after you spend a few more days on this mod you'll realize there really is not much to do. Surviving in itself is not hard to do at all. Run away from the newb zone go to a town get some supplies. Eventually you'll get a hatchet, matches, and hunting knife then you can enjoy the rest of your dayz life out in the woods if you want. Once you realize zombies aren't that big of a deal and are easily dealt with the only thing left to do in the game is interact with other players...attempting to shoot them is more entertaining for me. I say attempting because I'm terrible and can't hit the broad side of a barn so I usually end up respawning instead of the other guy but it's still entertaining. Oh and vehicles are good fun. Just enjoying a drive down the ro- OH GOD WE'RE GETTING SHOT AT SERPENTINE SERPENTINE!

I have 2 Urals, a Bicycle, an Offroad truck, and a Yellow car, Accross 4 servers, all fully repaired and gassed up. I also have everything for a heli once we find one! I have had all these vehicles for several weeks (Good hiding spot?) #LikeABoss

So can hatchets damage vehicles? If I ran up to a parked helicopter and started chopping madly, could I destroy it?

Server it happened on: US 729 - Hosted by (Faith).RU Time it happened : 7:57 PM Pacific Time What Happened : Saw at least 3 or four different players that were dying within 2 or 3 seconds or their last death. Names like (but not exactly) "[Faith] HelloKitty" and "alex." After about 10 seconds of this, the server jumped to being very laggy, and all or a sudden every entity (players, animals, vehicles) started to fall from the sky in an unknown location( I now know it was Elektro, as I logged in and my friend and I were directly nest to each other). I (Kaz) and my friend(Acoliet) attempted to disconnect as quickly as possible, but we are unsure if we died or not. Thanks for checking into this!

I get graphic artifacts pretty much anywhere that has Static dead soldiers or people, Static military vehicles (hummers, destroy urals) or Miltary tents (balota, Stary, Berenzio, NW airfield, NE airstrip etc.) The only way i can play with no glitches is to play on servers running patch 95398 and below

Took him that long to lose hope. My respect to him. My disrespect to you. DayZ became a dumb massive PvP game full of hackers, cheaters, bug-abusers and kids who normally should not be allowed to play such games. I know administration can barely do smth about kids and we all have to live with that, but cheaters and hackers that can shoot through the wall, see you, vehicles and tents through the whole map, kill everyone on server, spawn gear and vehicles whereever they want.. I'm terrible annoyed, but seems like noone can niether will do smth against this shit at the stage of Alpha Version. Also the fun and spirit of the game died, when Bandit/Survivor system was disabled. Have fun brainless PvP`ers, you're not much better than zombies now - attacking everything on sight with and without any reason.

dieing or living has nothing todo with a server restart. Its if its saved to the hive or not. Ive had it sometimes where its bugged ive died and when i came back i spawned where i was 2minutes ago with the same gear? Even going thru the process of about disconect to the lobby and click ok to come back in. Even though i died. That happened in 1.7.1.5 but not since that patch. Ive heard of restarting servers to repair vehicles but not to cheat death. IF you --------------------------------------------------------(blanked out) you can cheat death sometimes as it wont save your death in the hive. Ive managed to avoid getting killed by a hacker that way. Restarting the server wont do shit.

Hm... items still don't be saved in tents or vehicles... can someone tell me if they have the same problem or not?

What I always found interesting is with all the spawn spots for vehicles (off topic sorry) you would think the chances of spotting one would be better. I will find 1-3 randomly through woods if I am looking, but other then that I can spend an entire day playing and find nothing, either spawned and repaired or just sitting there waiting to be repaired. It's as if vehicles are still being horded off map somehow?

You want a horror story son? I'll give you a horror story, about Green Mountain itself no less! In the early days of the infection, before the disintegration of society, a platoon of soldiers was stationed there to monitor and relay redio transmissions between military units operation in Chernarus.One day the radio station went quiet, all communication between High Command and the units in the field being cut off. The battalion holding the North-West Airfield sent a small unit to investigate and bring back word, in case the occupants had been overrun by zombies. Three days passed by before any trace of the men sent to investigate was heard. On the night of the third day, a lone survivor ran on to the airstrip pursued by the corpses of his former comrades. The undead soliders were put down as the man was taken into the infirmary. Having no visible wounds, bite marks, gunshots or otherwise, the Base Commander interrogated him. Frantically he relayed the experiences of the operation. According to him, the men reaches Green Mountain in the dead of night the day that they left. Finding the commander of Green Mountain wandering around the interior wall, he was questioned about where his men were. The crazed officer only chuckled, in a deep gutteral voice as he turned around. The soldiers found themselves looking into a pale, bloody face just as a voice shouted down from the radio tower. "Look out, he's one of them!" In a fury, the infected officer raised his rifle and shot the survivor in the tower dead, straight through the heart. The investigating troops put the officer down as he cackled madly into the night, his voice reverberating around the compund even after his head had been blown clean from his body. As the men turned around to leave they noticed the previous platoon members were standing behind them, aparently out of nowhere. The soldier that had been found running on the airstrip had been guarding the vehicles at the base of the mountain when he heard the man shouting from the tower. Unable to surpress his curiosity he wandered up and looked inside. His entire unit was bleeding from their faces, falling to the ground. They all seemed to rise, now infected and undead. The man ran as fast as he could north, cut off from the vehicles by another group of zombies until he reached the airbase. That very night Green Mountain was reported as lost, and the soldier who had fled died and turned in the infirmary mere hours after he finished his story. The base personel inspected him, but found not a single wound on his body. No gunshots, no bites. To this day, the few survivors still in Chernarus avoid that place. Those who go there almost never return, and those "lucky" enough to survive have told tales of perfectly preserved bodies, and a shadowy figure upon the tower that keeps watch for those who would threaten his domain.

Update: server-side 7.2 has included the choppers, fixed the "reset" problems vehicles as well.

I said in my OP that there is Admin abuse out there, but think about what you posted... "the Admin locks the server so he can farm"... for what, the server is locked, you can't take vehicles to other servers... what good would it do you lock a server just so you can waist time farming loot when your the only person on the server??? Not to mentioned that your lumping all Admins into one pile... as hackers themselves, which again is not the case. My point in locked or pass-wording is to allow players to go through a screening process via the Admin/renter's web site or forums. This by itself would cut down on hackers in general as most of them wouldn't join the group to begin with. And again it would allow for better detection on the server if you knew, to some degree, who the players are on your server. They would be able to read your forums & follow specific guidelines such as the one I posted in the OP about not firing should something like a teleport hack happened. Players who want nothing to do with hacking/hackers would fill those servers 10 times faster than those open to possible attack at any moment. I'm not talking about creating a server that ppl can't join, anyone can still join, but they would need to go through joining a specific community & become part of that community & following the rules laid out on that server, such as what to do should a hacker get in & hack the server. It would also help reduce combat surfing from players outside of said community. Once again, we need to widen our focus here & look at this with bigger eyes, hackers do not care about the success of the mod, the servers, the communities & especially the hassles we Admins have to go through, they only care about themselves. I want the mod to be successful now... not later on & these request are not so far over the line, they are needed imo.

The NCR is currently a small group formed in response to the growing number of players running and gunning to take what they want, not what they need. They kill for sport, and that's to be ended. Like other groups, we're here to assist where assistance is needed, to purge the bandit scum from the coasts of Chernarus. As of late, there have been no save havens, no trading posts, and we seek to change that. From Steam group: The New Chernarus Republic follows one guideline: liberate the people from the opression of newly formed terrorist organizations.

We will not bring harm to civilians, survivors, and we will offer aid to those who require it. Those who have displayed hostilities against the innocent will be met with harsh prosecution, and shall be treated with the same precaution as the infected.

1. Vehicles are so random. its rediculous. this I have learned so far about vehicles. a. If by chance you find one in the DayZ announced locations.. http://dayzdb.com/map More than likely it will be very rare and need to be repaired. Were talking a 10 percent chance it might actually still be there. b. When vehicles are driven by someone the position is saved on the server the second someone exits the vehicle. - This means, you could find vehicles stored in garages, dense forest areas, around lakes or any other hidden location. c. If you have the unfortunate event of having a vehilce explode when your driving it and you are able to get out alive. Wait at that same location for a server restart. - You could stumble across a vehicle someone abandoned due to it exploding and them not knowing the previous, so look in the inner cities around road trash and such that might blow up a car. d. If the server should shut down when you are driving it.. IT SUCKS MOST> When you spawn back in you will need to retrace your steps and run back to hopefully where you got in the vehicle. NOTE: VEHICLE SAVING - In my experiences vehicle saving is ONLY to save the contents of whats inside. Dont make the mistake of finding a vehicle taking out the crap inside and saving it thinking its now yours in that same spot. Becuase you just deleted your ability to get the weapons that were saved in the vehicle back..... think about it. ;) 2. NO you can not take a vehicle to another server. they are server sided ONLY. Good luck.. and have fun.
