Oh yeah I forgot about that stash of mine.... Seriousley though, nice find and would do exactly the same thing. There's a difference between stashing and hoarding. I would have taken what I needed, run over the tents with the vehicles and then blown the vehicles to bits.

Im not asking for heaps of new vehicles, Im just saying maybe add 2 or 3 more just to balance it. I agree their are people who hide their vehicles well out in the forest and it is in a sense a nuisence trying to find one just due to the sheer size of the map, however, that being said it is possible to do so having found just last night a well placed fully working blue ural, loaded with guns, a fishing boat in working order as well as a PBX and then later on an ATV and jeep out in the forest however neither having fuel. Although, its really hard to have that same feeling with friends of fixing up a vehicle and working hard to get it to go and tick over that motor because for the most part, most vehicles are near/fully fixed already by someone else in someone elses tent camp and the ones that arent well your gonna need to work hard and fast to get parts from other areas to then come running back through the forest to fix it up before someone comes to the tents and either kills you or just takes it themselves. I think that vehicles that arent touched or resaved or moved after a certain period of time should despawn and respawn later on in the week, makes people need to come and check their gear and also means the avid dedication, of people such as your self ZdB, will be more satisfying moving your vehicle and finding another good spot because atleast your working to have it their, unlike groups who horde vehicles and never drive them because a wheel blew out in the forest or ran outta gas.

I played about three hours yesterday and found around 10 tents, most of them in the southern region less than 3km from the coastline. Some with good loot some without....some were bugged ( two or three sticking next to eachother ). Is every tent a players tent or are tents also spawned? A few weeks ago i found a tent on Green Mountain filled with an AS50 and ammo, a ghille, backpack, lots of food,drinks and medical equipment, whoever might have left it there must have been really angry when he/she came back. I can't seem to understand why some players "hide" their tents in easy accesible places and fill them with high class loot ( such as a M107 with magazines, vehicles parts etc. ) Of course i didn't take the M107...i "feed" my backpack like i always do when i find some high class weapons and can't take them with me. :D

Finding vehciles can be a bit hit and miss.. take yesterday for example.. was taking a stroll around willow lake, and came across an atv, no fuel, red engine.. so I leave well enough alone and start searching through Berez. to find engine parts.. found some fuel, and on the way back up, came across a UAZ, filled with medical supplies, fueled and repaired, just tucked out of sight on a factory yard.. So, stuff the ATV, I'm doing a Jukes of Hazard in the UAZ.. 1/2 way to the place I've decided to hide it, I drive past a tractor.. didn't bother stopping tho... That was in the space of about 2 hours.. but they are the first vehicles I've seen for nearly 2 weeks..

could be camps, could be traps, could be someone screwing around,last night a server i was on had sniper markers all around the hills and tree outside churno, victiom marked in the middle of churno, and nudist beach marked at the dock, some times i go check em out found a few vehicles that way, people mark it on the map thinking only they can see it lol

Yeah, people horde the shit out of vehicles. I'd do the same thing. That's why I destroy them when I find them. Only after running their tents over after looting what I don't already have out of them. :D

Server and the various locations will be kept between me, Fraggle and those will be working with us. How long will this take? As of now we have a decent stockpile worth of guns, survival equipment, medical suplies and a few vehicles to help us cross large distances quickly. I'm hoping to be able to have the second camp ready fairly soon, ie. tonight/tomorrow morning (We are on european servers). As of now we are working out of our base camp, that sadly had to be rebuilt since our other server was taken down last night and had some major issues with synchronizing actions and loot with the main server resulting in a large loss, but giving us a fresh start. Seeing how we are a two man team at the moment it might take some time, depending on how soon some of our other companions join us again. As for working together, the main issue is that most of the people on the list of medics are based in the US and not very many (it seems) are working out of the European servers. The backbone to this is to give headroom for up and comming medics and those well established making the starting phase as painless as possible and less downtime for those who are short on supplies. Anyone who can benefit from the arrangement and access the server is welcomed by me.

Well maybe one of the less valuable vehicles. Not more than one though. You could switch it for about 2 weapons though, or one m4 SD. Ya have to understand that NVG's, while asshat rare, are a bit useless when most people play during the day and avoid night time servers. They would allow you play on a night time server, but what's the point when there aren't many others around? NWA isn't safe even with NVGs during the night anyway.

Pretty simply, a friend and I stumbled across two camps. They had NVG's, more than two NVG's. If one were to sell NVG's what would they sell for? Maybe a couple vehicles or a few rare weapons? Just curious, never heard of anyone trading/selling items in DayZ before.

There is a cammo net made for vehicles and several others also. I've built many arma2 missions. Load arma2 with no mods and go single player into the editor to see what all is there. Those who have not played arma2, or made custom missions, will be amazed at the amount of equipment dayz is not utilizing.

Thank you for all of your posts and providing evidence, This is being dealt with and the supposed hackers are being investigated. I am working in cooperation with my server supplier and the devs towards a positive conclusion to this instance of hacking. As far as I am aware, there should be no choppers on this server and they will not respawn. If they are on it then they are most likely hacked. Please do not enter hacked vehicles as this may be used as evidence against you as well. Please report their locations and if possible anyone using them as I can then investigate if they have spawned them. As far as I am concerned NoRegrets this lot have helped remove a hacker from this game and as such they have my thanks. There is no need to investigate every single person and as such no need to be completely paranoid. Have some faith in people as I surely have faith in these players who are regularly on the server. If anyone else has anything positive to add, be it evidence or a worthwhile contribution, please feel free to post. If you are just bumping up your forum post count please look elsewhere. Kind regards, SumoS

Server: LU252 Time: 16:40 GMT+2 What happend: They teleported everyone on the server to the road between Mogilevka and Novy Sobor and killed them. (Vehicles too)

Great, can't wait to test it EDIT: Since i have the first post hijacked: There are currently severe hacking issues across most DayZ servers. And i'm not talking about some kid with aimbot or other self-empowering tools, but things like: - Killing the entire server at the press of a button - Teleporting the entire server to one place and other massive-destruction type of hacks. I know you're saying battleye is doing better than most other anti-cheats, but it honestly is not gonna be sufficient enough for DayZ as a mod. Wouldn't it be possible to add a mod-side cheat-detection or even prevention? Such as, stopping the ability to spawn items that are not even able to be found on DayZ, and other restrictions such as detecting huge changes in x y z coords that can't be achieved by regular vehicles (aka teleporting)... I know there are standalone plans, but this can take quite a while and in the meantime, hosters are shutting down their servers because their hands are completely tied, while their servers are getting completely f*cked up (This guy has got it right: "IMHO, hacking is the single most important development issue right now.")

+1 You have to be überlucky to see vehicle on it's spawn point. Best bet is to go north and search the forests. You can also find nice gear from camps while looking for vehicles :)

Borders of the map is the best place to find them, cause players hide them there quite often. From my experience there are about 25 vehicles on the map (not counting boats), of which like 7 are bikes and 5 are ATV's. Only newish servers have a lot of vehicles to be found usually. I mean, when I just got my server, I must have found 10 vehicles in the first 2 days... There is a set amount of vehicles spawning I think, after they get destroyed they can respawn on server restarts.

I thinks its one vehicle per spawn point on a server. Can spawn points spawn multiple vehicles over a few server restarts?

I've been running around the South coast with an ALICE Pack full of car parts trying to find a vehicle, to no luck. In fact I've never found a reparable vehicle, ever. How often do vehicles spawn? Where is the best place to find them? Failing that, the best place to 'borrow' one from?(I promise I'll put it back.....)

This is exactly what i think. There should be a limit of vehicles or something, or maybe it should disappear in less than 24 hours if left unused. People just hide all the cars available in the server to make some kind of showroom or something? It's already hard to find a car, even harder when they're all hidden in the same place by some armed-to-the-teeth clan. Nice finding by the way!

Because the ural spawns north west there could be lots of tents though the forest is HUGE at this area. But you only have to climb a hill and look down to see tents/vehicles.

In the game there is no vehicles spawning, no zombies and no other players. It is definately not the server because my friend is on it and is fine. Help? It is the right patch so that rles that out...

How to pay for it: Well that would depend on a load of things. Will the game be repetitive? Ofcourse not, every experience that happens in it will always be unique, since you never know what'll happen. 'Buying your shit' - do you keep it items permanently or what? in my opinion, I think you should have a market similar to APB. Make something like a safe zone, on a small island off the coast of Kamenka where anyone who wants to go and buy stuff on the 'black market' is able to do so - Could be ranged from Vehicles, to miscellaneous items. Ofcourse they can be bought and sold with either Rockets on 'CASH' (purchased CASH) or earned Gold (i.e, finding them on Zeds or whatever) The vehicles could be switched between each server regarding it's location. For example - The car which is sold on a seattle server, has to stick to all seattle servers, with a maximum car limit on each server (say 15cars a server?) so Imo - F2P, but buy your shit if you want. Mixed between community developed and studio developed. Studio works on stability, community works on what they want added, and try make the files or whatever. Community and studio servers - since studio servers may not be in someones desired location as it's 'far away'

I was told by the admin of the server i play on, that admins can see in the log files at which positions other players logged out. I'm not surprised that some admins abuse this, it actually happened to me on the server i played before. The clan which set up the server was (or still is) hoarding all vehicles of the map, i've never seen any vehicle until i (we) found their parking spot. First we were wondering why all the cars that we took from them over and over again were gone the next day and parked in their parking spot again. Now i know why. On the new server, i see vehicles all over the place. I find them at spawns, i find left vehicles, i see others driving around.

Hey, me and my 3 friends can say the same. Hole elektro is destroyed, everything burns, everywhere are mass vehicles even vehicles they are not in day z, everywhere are helicopters and falling bombs too. After few minutes some guy teleported and killed us... that server sucks.

Please add to the poll selection: Less Roadblocks. It's getting on my nerves driving around evry damn tiny town with my lame old Hatchback(Only 17 kmph off road) Like these obvious wide roadblocks, that is forcing you to drive around that facking block -.- What about Moskivich? Those cars were pretty popular in the UDSSR Here a Station wagon version: http://www.oldrussiancars.com/archives/moskvich-2137 or what about the Saporoshez? A compact car for four passengers, but a small Inventory: http://www.oldrussiancars.com/archives/zaz-966 Zil-130 anyone? http://www.oldrussiancars.com/archives/zil-130 Need a fancy car for driving around your caln and show prestige? The GAZ M-13 Chaika is then the car for you xD http://www.oldrussiancars.com/archives/gaz-m13-chaika or increase the spawnpoints of the Skodas, they are sooo rare and i never saw that normal Pick-Up (Datsun 521) I mean 17 Cars for 225 km2 big map. There only need to be a group of 5-8 people on the server and they will hord the vehicles and then make a camp somewhere North :/

In the game there is no vehicles spawning, no zombies and no other players. It is definately not the server because my friend is on it and is fine. Help?
