The ability of players to build underground bases. Locked bases with a code that is only breakable only with a rare maybe code hacking machine in the game. If the base been hacked from some players the player who has the base must be able to do something about this, cause if the other players hacked already one time the base, they will do it again and again and the base will not be a safe place for the clan or a player. If there is not a hacking machine item maybe the way for other players to invade the base is to wait for the others to appear outside the base and threat them for the code… Or,… if it is an underground base should have a pipe for the air so the others inside can breath. If the enemy find the base, it should be able to put a poison gas grenade inside the pipe to bring the others out of the base… The ability of players to have their metal death tag in their inventory till their death. The player who kill someone must be able to keep this metal tag locked with his character even after his death. Another ability for none bandit players could be medals of honor or something if the players help eatch other and don’t kill on site. Also this, must be locked with the player id even after his death. Another 2 huge maps like Chernarus could make this game much better… Maybe maps with rivers… Camo Vehicles Helmets / bulletproofs A more stable first person view with better aiming while moving… The murders must be locked with player id even after his death If the player isn’t a bandit, when he dies maybe he could have a benefit if he goes to the church when he respawns. Maybe a pray in the church should give him the half of his gear or something :D , .. if not his half gear back , maybe just a weapon and an alice pack. :beans:

Its not the grid searching in general, cause yes, I agree that is a very effective way to find vehicles and loot. And thats perfectly alright. Its the fact that they would hoard literally all vehicles on the server, then hide them off the map.

You shouldnt tell ppl how to play. My clan does gridsearching too. Its the most effective way to get vehicles. So you are saying that we have to play by YOUR rules to get fun out of the game? I dont think so. You should be greatfull that a clan wants to call your server their home. Shruu

1 - NO! Without PVP, the game would be super dull, stop trying to grief in the form of helpful suggestions, half the point of DayZ is to see the tension and the whacked out scenarios that take place when other players are involved. 2) Fortresses - I think may be coming in the form of fortification that coul dhappen in towns and such, that will be dope. 3) Not a fan of armored vehicles.

Vehicles are reddish I think.. but then again I'm red/green color blind :D

See in my mind that is perfectly alright, like go nuts man. if all the vehicles are destroyed it just makes it more fun. But see, you can actually FIND them. when they are hoarded, its basically like they dont exist.

agreed. been thinking about this, and the only viable solution i can come up with (i know im going to get ripped for this) is to get rid of tents. all together. no tents at all. period. it sure as shit would make dying horrible. -but keep vehicles and storage in the vehicles.

Rocket... I was also wondering if you going to institute a nightly deletion of all tents and vehicles saved outside of the map boundaries? That probably wouldn't be too hard to manage and would be a great step forward. And what happens to players logging out off map. Do they get reset or moved to the beaches? That would help the debug plains issue, but might even work in the favour exploiters if out-of-bounds tent encampments were not purged. It would certainly save them the trip of running to Electro each night to kill noobs... Can you also please confirm, once and for all, that camo and ghillies are safe to use? There's been so many conficting posts, it's hard to say what's happening. Great mod!!!

OK, So it was my lucky day in Day Z I found 4 crashed helicopters in a matter of half an hour. - In the first one I found 2 PP19 Bison, AS50, M107 and shit ton of ammo. - In the second one I found FN FAL. - In the last 2 I haven't found anything :( Then at the Barracks I found some ammo for my AS50 and some food/cans of soda. I decided to walk to Krasnostva Airstrip, In There I found ATV in great condition filled with fuel and in its Gear I saw AKS-74 Kobra, ammo and a lot more. I could say that i was happy, Until... I checked how many player are playing in the server, the number went from 10 to 17, It was fair amount of players. After I drove for a while more fuel was needed, So from Berezino I started heading to Gorka and on the way guess what??? Another crashed helicopter I parked the ATV by the road I went investigate I found The MK46 MOD 0 with one mag, I took it and putt it in the ATV. And now for the sad part, Literally 20 meters from my ATV a Guy hiding in the bushes that i couldn't see, I got on my ATV even before i pressed "W" i found my self Dead on my ATV. And from now on I trust only on vehicles with roof! I felt badass with it, Like no one could kill me, I could go anywhere, Take as many Guns and resources that i could find, BUT I WAS WRONG! BEANS!

I think Dayz is a great game, and i know it's in Alpha stage but here is some of my suggestions. PVE Servers - PVE Servers would be great for beginners, or players that love Co-Op Mode. You can still PVP in a PVE Server but you need to be flagged for PVP. This would work like so. PVP FLAGGING IN PVE SERVERS You turn it on yourself. Looting a dead player for his loot would turn on the PVP Flag, because your grave digging and he could have higher tier gear. Stealing from a other players tent. Stealing a other players vehicle. Shooting, or attacking another flagged player. The PVP Flag would stay active for 15-20 minutes until its turns off. FORTRESSES A Fortress would be a, Castle/Farm/Army Base/ or any other building that already has a fence or wall completely around it offering a good clan base for anyone. The wall would be strong nearly impenetrable, except for Satchels, or maybe the Ural. There would be a small amount of entrances to the Fortress. These Fortresses could be contested, raided or attacked to take over by other clans. You can only disconnect in a fortress if your clan owns it. Fortresses have a constant water supply and animal pens with re-spawning animals (You might think OP, but then it would be highly contested) Garages for Vehicles Locker Rooms for item storage These would bring new siege, and highly contested PVP to the game. ARMED VEHICLES NOT TANKS!!!! I'm talking about a Technical it's a type of improvised fighting vehicle, typically a civilian or military non-combat vehicle, modified to provide an offensive capability similar to a militarygun truck. It is usually an open-backed civilian pickup truck or four-wheel drive vehicle mounting a machine gun, light anti-aircraft gun, recoilless rifle, or other support weapon. These would have great FIREPOWER, but the Gunner is also very Venerable to incoming fire. I'm going to add more to this article, just wanted to see what you think.

Read my posts please. I explain that We dont hoard, like ffs, I even go out of my way to put my vehicles in places people will find them. because they are very usefull. and I know another one is just around the corner... 'Cept when people do what CQF has been doing, then it just ruins it for everyone except them.... And for some reason, I think the only people that are on their side about this, are friends with them.

Thank you. Exactly! And I'm sorry, what? Twice, you guys DC'd during combat. When one logged back in, he killed me. If you talk to any of our rival clans on NY7, they will tell you we never disconnect during combat. Logs would show your clan mates logging out and back in, would they not? But guess you won't ban your clan mates for that. Only those that try to steal your vehicles? After your guy logged in behind me and killed me, I spawned in Kamenka and started running north since your guys's camp was right near the map line. By the way, Atropa logged in at your camp after you kicked us because well, he never died. derp. Of course he'd log in at your camp! And Garful and I are terrible teleporting hackers if we were running back from the coast.... Obviously you don't investigate very well. If I took a look at Garful's post history, I could tell he doesn't tolerate hacking. We heartbreakingly left NY7 due to the admin, at the time, being OK with his friends testing out some hacks. Guess what? While we were friends with the admin, we left the server anyway. Because we don't do hacks. I'm personally done with your server. We were on your server for what, 10 hours? And only after we kill you on your motorcycles driving down the main highway, then find your camp, do we get kicked twice and then banned. Whatever, sall good. Your server is not worthy of my time.

Oh and before I forget, is there any way to disable the ( continue ) button on the briefing screen. The reason for this is that when a server restarts and players click on this it tends to load the server without any tents or vehicles. If you allow the briefing screen to just timeout naturally all items are loaded properly. If you could do this it would make automatic restarts less of a hazard. Thanks.

It was a good day in dayz i had basically everything i would need a tent city of my own as50 nvg coyote bp etc and 3 vehicles I was heading south announcing in side chat i was there to help as i was travelling i did the following things -Saved at least 3 survivors from zombies (Safe distance/Not risky) -Engaged a group of 4 bandits 400m with sendredor my spotter(rangefinders) -Gave away a tractor with some guns in it to a fresh spawn(Mildly risky although he was compliant with what i told him to do so i got away unharmed) So after seeing how nice the dayz populace was getting and gaining alot of fame on the server for what i was doing i got confident I was heading through to elektro to provide overwatch and shoot bandits and snipers harming other survivors i found a tent and an atv i took the atv and was driving it through a forest i found a survivor i told him to freeze and get on the ground he didnt listen but i didnt mind i said i was getting off the atv and its his i got off the atv stating im giving it to him I began to run away when i heard a shot whiz past my head i turned around as fast i could and i had him in my as50 sights and as i clicked i died it was like pulling the trigger to a gun at my own head i knew it was coming but it came as a shock after the nice things i have accomplished Oh well apollo you just created another high profile bandit gratz

Yes I admit, I maybe didnt go about it the right way, but after a week of letting them know that I did not want this on the server, that if they wanted to have a clan base, to do it on their own server. Sure its not exactly in the rules, but you guys are ABUSING the game. by hoarding everything on a map. its just plain unfair, and I believe thats what rocket was going for when he made the rules. He wants, stranger interaction, not huge clans raiding small servers. You guys can say all you want 'Oooh we got 4 servers we didnt raid his' and I can honestly say thats bullshit, unless your 4 other servers, are complete shit. But the fact remains, I admin a server, out of the 300+ that are out there. And I want to keep my regular players happy, and random players happy aswell. And for anyone who has been playing Day Z for over a week or 2, does not want to walk all the way across the map, so they go looking for vehicles. I had one guy that I didnt even know complain to me that hes been grid searching, just him. just to find ONE vehicle, but because your base was off the map, he couldnt find any. So please explain to me how this is admin abuse? Chainkicking sure, but if I had the ability to ban, I would have done that. When it comes to something like this, I honestly dont think its abuse. Its me trying to keep the majority of the players happy, and if that means kicking a clan whom just goes around hoarding vehicles and what not. Then so be it.... And that brings me to my closing point. Its clear to see who is in the right, because I am not trying to ruin your game experience any further (Or at all if you really think about it) Yet you guys keep on making posts about how you guys are just going to raid the server, because ur sad that someone does not like you outnumbering our players. Oh and to everyone who is like 'GG on loosing money', 1 its not even just my server, about 5 of my buddies all chipped in for it. And 2, our month ends in 3 days, so you didnt make us loose anything :).... But im just checking now, and I'm getting alot of msgs from all you CQF guys saying that my server is already down among other things, well its not, its still rockin.... So Rocket I hope you can see how this clan has ruined the game experience of not just me, but basically all the players on my server. And its not a simple 'oooh he stole my vehicle QQ' (Im not that immature).

I love playing DayZ. I haven't had more fun playing any other game and I've been playing video games on the PC for about 10 years. I'm just really saddened by the fact that hackers/scripters (w/e the term is) can so easily ruin the game for everyone else. It's almost every server I play on now. Illegal vehicles being spawned in. Illegal items/weapons. Vehicles and people being teleported all over the map. Camps being wiped out and entire server populations being killed in an instant. It sucks that the game is ruined so easily by people who have no respect for others and just do it for whatever cheap laugh or sick satisfaction they get out of it. I sincerely hope that the DayZ dev team find a solution to all this illegal activity because it's killing the game and it makes me want to not play anymore. *insert world's smallest violin meme*

Just as a note, I've had vehicles experience the same issues as tents. Would the same issue be causing it for that as well?

It was a good day in dayz i had basically everything i would need a tent city of my own as50 nvg coyote bp etc and 3 vehicles I was heading south announcing in side chat i was there to help as i was travelling i did the following things -Saved at least 3 survivors from zombies (Safe distance/Not risky) -Engaged a group of 4 bandits 400m with sendredor my spotter(rangefinders) -Gave away a tractor with some guns in it to a fresh spawn(Mildly risky although he was compliant with what i told him to do so i got away unharmed) So after seeing how nice the dayz populace was getting and gaining alot of fame on the server for what i was doing i got confident I was heading through to elektro to provide overwatch and shoot bandits and snipers harming other survivors i found a tent and an atv i took the atv and was driving it through a forest i found a survivor i told him to freeze and get on the ground he didnt listen but i didnt mind i said i was getting off the atv and its his i got off the atv stating im giving it to him I began to run away when i heard a shot whiz past my head i turned around and as fast as i could i had him in my as50 sights and as i clicked i died he went past the atv and gunned for me he wanted my gear and the atv even though i was blatently giving it to him it was like pulling the trigger to a gun at my own head i was aware of the risks but this still pissed me off to a terrible extent and was a shock after the nice things i had accomplished Oh well apollo you just created another high profile bandit grat

I have a similar issue, DayZ works just fine,but the Combined OPs single player game is screwed,the armoury seems to work ok,but if i start a scenario it loads and i just get an elevated view of the area with no movement or HUD.Only one of the showcase scenarios actually works,but only 4 vehicles spawn.Campaigns just freeze at loading. I also get the same error mentioned in the title if using the arma2oa.exe so your not alone dude! Im pretty sure its a beta patch issue,but have no idea what to do.

I've reassigned the map, all tents were deleted (as expected), vehicles were deleted (as expected) but now they're not respawning (as completely not expected). Checked about 5 respawn points where vehicles MUST BE on fresh map :) Any advices? :) Or may be support will help with this? I've created ticket on support.dayzmod.com 24+ hours ago but no still answer... (support ticket #995742).

scrap metal is key. get lots of it. try having 2 scrap metal and the engine parts on you when you go and fix it. private hives are essentially servers that aren't on the server list and have separate databases. not sure if they are allowed or not. It's fun to mess around on.. try out all the vehicles (including choppers) get all the loot.. but in the end it's not even close to playing on a real server.

The best way to deal with rare vehicles is to blow them up if you find a hoarder. It's fun too.

You ever tried driving the GAZ (civillian car) offroad? :/ it already IS tedious and difficult, top speed of like 8kph off road, you can run faster. I disagree with this, if you dont suck its not too hard to find vehicles, its just a matter of hunting them down. Sure the map is a big place, but team up with a few friends, study the map and topography, figure out where camps are likely to be (have to be mostly flat to erect tents, dense trees to hide vehicles, cant be too steep or vehicles will roll downhill etc). Once you know what to look for its not too hard.

People set up camps there. And you'll find vehicles. Takes a while, but worth it.

Problem: vehicles are as rare as hens teeth, and a favorite item to hoard Solutions:alter some vehicle characteristics, and introduce some new (crappier) vehicles I think there are some nice offroad vehicles in this game, e.g. the dirt bike and jeeps. Keep them as they are but make the town cars and road biased vehicles so terrible offroad that to hide one in the forest would be the most tedious act ever. i have seen suggestions for adding things like scooters, other old motorbikes would suit too. put these in and make them dangerous and pointlessly slow offroad, also make them spawn in a decent (but perhaps not perfect) condition. you could also make them have no storage and be unsavable so they reset fairly often. The idea is to have rare vehicles that people can hoard and cherish, and can be seen once in a blue moon, but also to have other common vehicles that stay in constant circulation and aren't such a valuable commodity that people have to selfishly hide them. this would also give players more to do and more to fight over. The rare chances i have had to use vehicles in DayZ have been fantastic, and it is a real shame that people can't enjoy them more. Plus it doesn't seem to add any to realism, rural soviet towns are rife with old bangers and bikes there is no reason they should disappear when zombies show up. Driving a large bus 3km up a forested mountain on the other hand, is a pretty unrealistic survival tactic IMHO. What do you think?
