I dont know if its been mentioned but there are some bugs with behicles. The Hilux, Pushbike and Ural all instantly repair themselves after an accident if you just get out, and jump back in the vehicle. A couple of questions Rocket if I may.. The duping of gear through the save / dont save exploit through tents and vehicles is getting quite ridiculous. Everyone whos played for a week or more know how to do it and do. Is this something high on the genda to fix? Example. Fill a car with your favourite gear, save it then empty it again. As long as you dont save the vahicle again, the next server restart will have it fiull of gear. Next major problem is if a vehicle blos up, it will be fully repaired after server restart in the location it was destroyed.

Yep, me and my clan horde vehicles. We usually place them and set them up in towns which usually have traffic and use it as bait.

I asked the same question earlier today, I'll share my knowledge. Most commonly, clans or server admins (and company) will collect vehicles and drive them to a remote location to stockpile items. You can regularly find videos of people stumbling on these "bases". A friend and I spent 3 days scanning spawn points and gave up in frustration only to discover this fact today. Really a bummer... I know.

Everyone in a group will try to hoard vehicles. It's just what people do. Once they have them, everyone else on the server is screwed. Pretend vehicles don't exist in the game because even finding one is just asking to get shot out of it.

**TENTS GONS/VEHICLES GONE**Before you start making assumptions about our camp being raided -- it was not. One of our members was near our camp waiting for a night raid about 15 minutes before said event occurred. He was kicked from game, supposedly of a server restart and then, 15 minutes later, we logged back in and all of our stuff was gone. Tents, vehicles, and items are all gone. I checked for flattened tents to make sure we weren't raided in a olympic-medal-deserving 15 minutes and there were none. We saved tents and the person who put them up did not die. The camp is several kilometers from the border of the map, it is not out of bounds. I also logged back in and had a different gun in my backpack than I did earlier. I had an M1017 in my backpack and when I logged off and I logged back in and had an M4A3 CCO. Now again, before assuming, I did not switch guns recently. I had my layout -- before logging out -- for atleast 20-30 minutes. We pretty much lost everything due to a bug/server side issue. An official response would be nice. -Thank you, Walking Militia

I have had very similar problems on this server. The admin is Nimrod =NMD=, and he has a clan that behaves the same way. He does the following: I have had very similar problems on this server. The admin is Nimrod =NMD=, and he has a clan that behaves the same way. (His clansmen are: Venom, Skullface, Jevron, and a few others) He does the following: 1) Plays very aggressively (and acts like a pratt) and kills people a lot (within game rules, just) 2) Turns off his server when him and his clan are not online to protect their kit (questionable) 3) He uses vehicle server hacks to create a blacked out set of off road cars that are not even in the dayz mod (should have server and game cd key revoked permanently in my opinion). He had several of these vehicles with the usual hacked equipment. Replaces them when they are taken or destroyed. Sorry I dont have screenshots of the vehicle hacks but I know him and his clan do this a lot, but will post at next opportunity. His website is: http://www.ts.nomandown.com where he has a public teamspeak. Whenever he initiates hacking he moves to the admin channel! To be honest I would stay away from his server as he will kill established players very quickly (night vision isnt hard to get if you are a hacker), and you will lose all your hard earned kit. For info GB 1 has now changed named to GB 2 so stay away from that server in my opinion. Hopefully it will be blacklisted soon. Well done to your friend for shooting him though!

Go out, do something productive... Hunt people at the shore (trust me it's fun) Horde vehicles.... I also heard Helicopters were coming in soon enough (;

Have you got a "base camp" setup ? - with vehicles / food / protection. Have you formed a type of government over the area you are in ? There is a lot to this game that gets missed because of people getting too wound up into PvP battle, which is fun, but yes it does get "old" if you don't have an "ultimate" objective. And most importantly of all if your leaving .... Can I haz your stuff ?

Hi, I'm the Admin of DE 231. On July, 25th a hacker teleported a bunch of players to a place on the map. Some kind of explosions happened there. Can't describe exactly what explosions, cause I wasn't ingame at this time, but a lot of players reported it in our TS. Addictionaly I have to mention, that I turned off the "regularCheck" before, trying to get rid of the lags the server experienced in the days before. Maybe this was it, that made it possible. A lot of players got killed and lost their stuff. We're very sorry because of that. The regularCheck is turned back on and after applying the new beta patch it seems to work just fine - without laggin'. I hope this solved the problem. At least it seems to not happened again. There was also a bug that made it possible to duplicate items, that were taken from tents or vehicles. After server restart the items were still in the players inventory, but also in the tents/vehicles they were taken from. Today I was told, that it doesn't work anymore - hopefully. Did ya experience this on other servers too, or was it just ours?

I had a mate that had a similiar issue. It appears to be a bug more than anything, because they weren't using vehicles it was dark for me, but bright as day for them

i think the way that admin reports are handled needs to be drastically rethought. i should not have to go out of my way to record someone abusing their admin etc. then spend even more time uploading the footage etc. why are there even logs if you guys do not utilize them? btw : us175 is a trash server with admins that hoard vehicles and restart etc. when losing them. all the while happily abusing global chat and trash talking players they kill etc. do i want to spend the time recording their habitual abuse of power ? no, i do not. i'll just move to a different server.

I am not sure if it was a hacker, or simply just a group that found our tents but on US 207 I woke up today to find all 8 of our group's tents were flattened, 2/3 vehicles were stolen (Not our big-ass bus). Now to be honest, I am not QQing about this, as its part of the game however I'd like whoever did this to own up to it and gloat as raiding the tents was fine but to flatten them was a bit harsh =/ Well done to whoever found it, however if you're a wallhacker YOU SUCK! lol. Much love, Much homo, Delta.

Made me laugh when i found camp with 6 cars filled with obviously duped items. Then someone started to snipe me and got me down to 1k blood. Took me few minutes to get back to 12k and started to hunt that bastard down. Got behind him and emptied full mag on his back, obviously he combat logged like a fagget. Ran down to the camp and destroyed 3 vehicles, stole one. Too bad his friend got away with 2 bigger cars full of stuff.

I left my good gear like NVGs and L85 behind as I don't know you guys (I was doing this before meeting up with you guys). You can kill me or get me killed with bad tactics. And the reason I survived is because I broke off from the group to watch from a far so I wasn't far off. :P I usually play with monocled gentlemen from a prestigious gaming magazine on US/Europe servers but it is hard to be on at the same time due to time zone difference. We are mostly done with Dayz and playing less often now. We got so bored once we had a race to Cherno, it ended up with loss of lives and vehicles. But it was fun. :)

1. That's a bug and not necessarily meant to be in the game. 2. Also a bug and not necessarily meant to be in the game. 3. It would really suck if there were max 20 vehicles for 800,000 players, don't you think? 4. They don't teleport. They lag. Everything lags sometimes. Deal with it. 5. Another bug. You're awfully good at finding these things. 6. There's no point in slowing down bleeding. Either you bandage yourself or you don't have a bandage and die. The bleed out rate is pretty slow anyways. 7. Finally, a good point. Knives should be able to be unholstered - similar to axes. 8. Also a pretty good point. Fists would be key to knocking out players when you're unarmed. 9. A third good point. You're on a role. Obviously this is a military simulator - they look after their guns so the game engine isn't accounting for jamming. 10. You can swim with a backpack. This bug was fixed a long time ago (at least for me).

I hope you used the vehicles to drive over the tents, it would be just.

we drove around for 3 hours, an 8 man ghillie crew, on a night time server with 25 poeple at the time. bandit fights, huge zombie fights, lots of looting and car repairing. messing with costal spawn nubs, and finally finding a place where to park the vehicles. lets hope the hackers don't insta find our stuff, so we can drive around like bosses for at least another night :) even if they do find it, it was an epic night :)

How do you know they are trying to ambush you? We camp too but does that make us KoS? We camp for item spawns at times. Respawn timer is extremely quick. The point was that if your intention was that the rifle is pointless based on your intention. You shouldn't be sniping unless you can acquire the affiliation of the target. Only way is by walking up to the players and asking, "friendly?". Unless you have someone do that then disregard my last two sentences but if your alone you most likely have murders. If you spot a sniper your going to wait for him to shoot you or one of your teammates? Result is already fatal if your only option is to wait until he kills someone to ascertain his affiliation. All snipers are deadly and if you look at their weapon stats they don't vary. DMR is a fantastic PVP sniper rifle in comparison to a CZ. Wasting sniper rifle ammo on zombies sounds unrealistic. Doubt one would do that. Not like the clips contain 30 rounds like the AK. I don't survive with a sniper rifle. I rarely have it out unless im going to PVP. I'm more scared of a player with a sniper rifle than a AK or Makarov. I had people shoot me and my entire group 30 rounds with AK and miss. It only took one sniper to wipe out the majority of us. Wiki explains that. Players with vehicles are considered extremely dangerous. I just don't deem one driver as dangerous as multiple players in a vehicle. Now a days, most vehicles are taking in most servers. Building a vehicle is rare. You have a better chance walking into a forest and stealing one. Players i've met with vehicles were indeed dangerous carrying massive amounts of ammo, weapons, and even explosives. Don't think it will work out. Need everyone to adhere to my RoE/SOP.

nah, no point since they are back after the server restart which happened 3 hours later. we jsut stocked up the 3 vehicles, got all of our frineds on ts and gave them waht they wanted, and then went on a log night of adventure :) yes we found that stuff, the mk4 48's are in the truck that we took to whats hopefully a safe spot for at least a few days. we basically took everything from the tents that we wanted and put it in the vehicles. are the items duped on purpose or collected and then just duped cause they were in tents, we will never know for sure, but its all legit in game gear, so its definitely not hackers. I would give you an mk48, but dayz has made me very untrustful. i've had people talk to me for hours, only to shoot me in the back after we meet up, even over basic costal town gear. so now I only roll with people i know. I had everything prior to this, except for the coyote pack, so this was really just a nice night for my friends, and in turn a great night for me as well, because we hung out and had a grand time :)

I think MKDeus was basically saying that there's a lot of people on here that scream admin abuse and such when it turns out they were trying to do very bad things and got banned for it. In this case..if nxye was trying to play with a hacked pbo (DayZ_Anim.pbo handles ALLLL bans on items: vehicles, weapons, ammo, magazines, etc. So if he had that hacked, chances were to use something in it that wouldnt be allowed). and got banned for it.....then he needs to stfu about it and go DIAF, dirty hacker. As for the Private Hive crowd.... Pretty much that. We want control of our own damn servers. Most would rather be on a server where the admins actually have a measure of control versus the total lack of it on public servers. Not having to triple check, get video, etc of a hacker before you can ban him because you dont want to get blacklisted is just stupid. Being able to play the game as you want is also a bonus. Not having to worry about hackers (if your private hive is..private vs a public-private hive such as UK 1). @Lukey: Ironic how so many people have 'problems' with the pbo in charge of banning crap from the game. Hrmm. Right. And dont ever fucking speak for me again ya lil wank. I rather like MKDeus being willing to sign up and speak out and I dont want to see him leave, so don't include me in your 'do us all a favor" crap k?

I currently do not play with my clanmates, but with one friend on Skype. We have a camp and everything. The clan I'm in I've played with them, they are a group of 10 people or something, with everyone their own role. Have multiple vehicles, own TS and DayZ server. You can visit them at www.pantheoncommunity.com if that's something you're interested in, or PM me your Skype and we can welcome you into the group that I play with. :-)

Yesterday I've had my first encounter with a hacker. He teleported me to himself, then shot my nearly-month-old character to death. The server (NL 13) drained soon after, since he was doing it with pretty much all players. I tried to report the guy on the server hoster's forum, but apparently they can't get a killer's name out of their own server log, nor did I have any means to identify my killer at all. I took a quick look: a simple google session will give you the tools to ruin the game for everyone without BattleEye lifting a finger. Spawning weapons, vehicles, teleporting players or causing other types of havoc. Rocket himself said that cheaters are probably the largest threat to his game right now. The original Arma 2 was, from what I understand since I wasn't around back then, much more close knit, much more oriented around clans and groups of players. That lack of social control and the fact you're mostly on servers full of strangers, means there's a sharp rise in the amount of cheaters who are just out there to spoil other people's fun. Cheating is relatively easy because Arma 2's networking is client-authorative. The client says he does something (say: "I want to spawn an tank"), and the server accepts that (in things like website development this is a big no-no, hence the saying "never trust the client"). This does have its perks: servers can host huge groups of players with processing time to spare for other things (which I guess DayZ happily uses for zombie AI). Server-authorative engines, such as Source and Unreal, are much more secure but it also makes them limited (player counts beyond 32 makes things unstable and laggy). So I'm left wondering how this is going to play out. What measures is Rocket going to take? What measures can be taken right now? Is the upcoming stand-alone version of DayZ going to change anything? Is it going to allow us to physically punch cheaters in the face over TCP/IP? Cheaters are a serious gamebreaker for this mod. More so than in any other game. All your progress, all your effort, all your fun, all down the drain because of one asshole.
