There is already a way to make it easier to meet up with friends after spawning. They're called vehicles. Don't have one yet? Lace up those shoes. The furthest you can possibly spawn from each other is like 10km which is a ~15 minute run. This is a complicated solution to a problem that doesn't exist.

I've never seen a hacker, just found some hacked items and vehicles, that is all.

People have been being mass-teleported on my server, and I've seen multiple helicopters and jets. We had 3 vehicles and then suddenly every person on the server teleported to our location... Pretty bullshit, in my opinion.

Hi Guys, Just a quick one apologies if this has been suggested before, search came up with nothing. Suggestion: Modify the run speed slowly as per the different ground types. Slightly faster (10%) running on the road, slightly slower (-5%) running offroad, slightly slower still (-10%) running through the forest. (maybe the beach?) Results: Adds another dimension of choice when moving city to city (more safety vs speed than just stances). Players use the road system to move long distances, thus focusing the player population slightly. Realism; you can run faster on the road than you can through the forest. This is allready implimented for vehicles, moving it across to running is the next logical step (IMO) Thanks for reading :)

We have vehicles, drivers will ferry people to supply tents and back to the coast for fun.

I usually don't care if people don't search but I see this EVERY day

The group I play with has (in the past couple of days) repaired two helicopters and quite a number of other vehicles. It's all about who you play with. Find a good group of players and the game will be that much more enjoyable. Yes, you will still die (a lot) but it's still a good time when you're not alone.

damn i gotta get some of those satchels then, my team moved our entire camp earlier today ( 10 + tents and 3 vehicles ). About 2 hours later the server restarted. I spawned at our new camp and it was all there, while traveling I came across our old site, all of our tents were back up there with everything inside. I ran them over again hope they are gone this time lol.

Should ofcourse be extremely rare and drop at high risk areas, but I'd love to see a camouflage net item that you could apply on your vehicle to cover it up a bit more. (maybe only camouflaging the top of the vehicle to cover from overflying helicopters)

I think the problem is you're only seeing one side of the story (in particular, the side of the victim that is just walking along and then suddenly headshot with no clue what happened). There is a LOT going on in the game. Building tent cities, acquiring vehicles & high end loot, defending your territory/tents/vehicles from other players, etc. I saw a heli crash and camped it till a pretty van pulled up, then slaughtered them, packed the loot into the van and took off. Some guy on a tractor was going off into the wilderness, I followed him and he immediately pulled a 180 once he saw us; we dispatched him (lost the tractor unfortunately), then followed his PREVIOUS trajectory to find a pickup truck with FN FAL, Bizon, etc. I've come across camps only to have our overwatch spot the owners and fought furiously over the loot. Moved our loot while defending our camp from people who found OUR stash. Yes the game is centered around PvP, but sandbox PvP is VERY dynamic; the goals of any player you come across differ drastically, and if you were the one SPOTTING instead of BEING spotted (and thus oblivious and suddenly domed), you'd see how rich the game ALREADY is. That said, obviously there's more to come; base building will hopefully make it easier to indulge in other aspects of the game like trade, post-apocalyptic/wild-west style civilization, etc.

huey has a radar I beleive, marks players/vehicles/enemies on the maps just like every other Heli.

Thanks for reporting this Adinise I also reported it here http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/43162-lu252-vehciles-teleported-off-map-and-players-killed/ The actually never teleported everyone, they teleported all vehicles and the unlucky people inside vehicles at the time

Mike, I appreciate you taking the time to respond directly and publicly. I looked for a representative before making a thread, also note this thread is NOT in the report sub-forum. However, you sir have a security breach already, a rogue admin, a poor host, or you're outright lying (no disrespect intended). If you have the means I would implore you to check your logs and I assure you that you'll see multiple restarts. I can't tell you why or who but I as well as others can give you our words that your server was restarted multiple times. Each restart our gear changed and vehicles went missing. Someone dropped the ball, someone is up to no good. You're not ogg to a great start mate. As far as the one day old comment goes I imagine that's directed at the other comments. We joined your server for the very reason all the Multiplay boxes were new and we HOPED we wouldn't experience foul play. To clarify I never associated your server with an older one. We assumed your new server wouldn't subject us to abuse, unfortunate for us our efforts were a waste. One day in and you already need to do some housekeeping, somebody is lying to you sir. Good luck with all that. - Vortech

Tents, vehicles and wire fencing sometimes disappears and doesn't appear until the server restarts. You should wait for the next server restart before leaving your camp site.

Hooligan you are a tard. Did you even watch/listen to the video. We had two motorcycles which I can only assume we took from your 2 guys since there was a naked guy running back up to your camp that we killed. You can see it at the start of the video...2 of us drove on that motorcycle. The other person "Atropa" was on the other one also looking for your camp in a different area. He asks where to park the other motorcycle. The two other guys were on foot and asked for locs and gave thier distance. That battle went on for a good hour. We killed a few , you guys killed a few. It wasnt until you were all dead and you feared for your vehicles that the admin bans started coming down. GG.

I note in the new patch notes that helis might be coming back in. This poses some concerning questions - At this stage he who has a copter can simply fly quickly over the map, spot the vehicles that are trying to be hidden by parking in woods or mountain tops, they can also see easily large camps. Example - I wont name the server but on this particular server I stumbled across a large sprawling camp with about 10 tents in it, it was located on top of a flat hill which made it invisible from the ground. But a heli would see it easily as it was in the open and it even had a nice flat landing area near it. They could empty this camp quickly and easily ? If you are bringing in helicopters could you also implement some sort of camouflage that we can find and affix to vehicles or tents to help (ie like scrap metal is used on vehicles). This wont be a silver bullet for this problem might help to conceal tents in wooded areas ? To those that are going to be abusive or dismissive without fully understanding this issue then dont bother responding as I will not respond back. Im just stating this as I think a large amount of the community have become lax with concealing their stuff due to no airborne craft in the game, but that will change very soon.

I hate creating another topic about this but I am at wits end, and some HFB staff are saying it has nothing to do with their servers. Right now, If you have camo (or ghillie) on your character and try to join an HFB server (I and several others have tested on about 25 of them now) you cannot get in. I can join any other updated server and it works fine. If a player joins an HFB server without wearing camo they can get into the server. But, if they put that camo on, their character does not save. Nothing they do will carry over and they cannot access loot or interact with vehicles. This was the response from an HFB Staff member in regards to the issue: I would love for a DayZ member to acknowledge that Camo and Ghillie is not "disabled". It is correct that they are not spawning, however they are still in game, in inventories, and on characters. You can follow the progression of this problem here: http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/31786-ghillie-suits-are-not-fixed-in-1723-confirmed-by-multiple-people/#entry306946 Where it was quickly figured out to be an HFB issue. Our server has had this problem since 1.7.2.3 has been available and has made it impossible to play on the server we are paying for.

its because he was an asshole. people dont really seem to get the concept that you can survive longer/have a better time teaming up. it seems all that 90% of players care about is the murder count. 9% only want to hoard vehicles/loot off map. and the other 1% want to team up/make friends/start a group.

Hello Williamz, I would kindly ask if you could remove the location of that camp from your post I would be very grateful as we don't want people coming to our server for the wrong reasons. We get enough Script kiddies as it is. Basically admin controls; - We can restart the server - We can kick and ban That is it. We cannot spawn items or vehicles etc. There are 2 people with access to restart the server that is myself and Zolfo. And we never abuse our powers in anyway. And I am the person that sits there staring at logs all day :( Basically you have stumbled onto one of our old old camp locations our community is growing in size and we can fill our entire server with clan members so we have alot of people! lol! There is no way to remove tents atm. We have tried running them over but they just come back. We have tried packing them up but they just dupe. Along with all the gear that is in them. So no. We are a legit clan we don't hack and we don't cheat. Until the Devs fix the problems with tents we can't do anything about it. Hope that explains everything for everyone :) Dez.

Yeah, no starting gun makes new lives much more hectic and rewarding, but this guy didn't have just starting gear. In the OP, I listed about a quarter of what he had. For a newer player, that was really the motherload. I doubt I will ever find such a well stocked bandit again. Anyway, none of this matters anymore. Since this encounter, I've spawned and died twice. The first one is a pretty good story, actually. I was walking along the railroad tracks, when I see this lone guy running. He hasn't seen me, so I get down, and start crawling toward him - just to get a closer look. I'm about to cross the road when I realize that this guy isn't alone - His buddy's truck is barreling down the road toward me so I drop again, hoping that he doesn't see me. They do. As they are opening fire, I see this little golf-cart like car and a Humvee coming down the road, with a helicopter close behind them. Now, a bunch are shooting at me and I just get lit up. I had no chance. That was the first time I ever saw a vehicle, let alone so many and a helicopter! Anyway, I spawn a while later (had to go do some stuff) and I see a huge fire in the distance. I go over, and the helicopter is in flames, with the Humvee nearby. No clue what happened - maybe a bigger group came by and wiped them out. I didn't see the other vehicles - maybe stolen. It just goes to show - They were powerful to the point where I had no way of defending myself, but there are always bigger fish in the sea. I guess that there is no point in fretting over loosing your gear. Someone is always going to have more stuff and be better at the game than you. -On a side note, is it possible for one helicopter to take out another helicopter? I'm just wondering because I don't think that they can be taken out from the ground - how did the helicopter get destroyed? Maybe with his buddies being attacked, the pilot crashed by accident.

Umm im just reporting this because all of my friends that were with me said that it should be reported (including cptn panda) And it says admin next to the admins name when your on the main screen of the game your on. And next to Bunnys name it said Admin. Also im sick of players that cheat. If you dont have anything to add to this that is going to help then why even post anything? Stop trolling! Plus im a girl and im not really that in to the pvp aspect of this game i like it cuz it is a zombie survier game i enjoy going out and finding vehicles and fixing them and surving . But im sure that doesnt matter anyways.

Not quite totally original, as there's been a thread or two about looting ambulances, however, I agree entirely with looting vehicles for parts and equipment. I do have one idea though, what if you had all the parts for a vehicle? Fuel tank, engine parts, windscreen glass, 4 wheels, and scrap metal, and rotor assembly for helicopters, should we be able to fully repair any old vehicle that takes it's respective parts that we find, regardless of what loot's there? Maybe it could be transferred into the vehicles gear cache? And when that vehicle is destroyed it respawns somewhere else as a wreck? Just an idea here.

I group with lucky people, you know the kind, oh look a clearing, we have a 30% chance its empty, a 30% chance it has 1 (or more!) chopper crashes, and a 30% chance its a badly hidden tent city/vehicle containing all that hard work someone did and left for us to loot. We've learned not to take vehicles though, they are too easy to kill with all of us in it. Yet to see a tent city killed by a chopper crash spawn, but I'll screenshot it if I do.

I can't tell if you're serious or just trolling. We hide vehicles so(stay with me here, I know it's tricky) we can use them! If we don't hide them, someone else will take them and we will no longer be able to use them. The level of stupidity on these forums.. I just don't even know what to say.
