:huh: Wow, what did I just read? In what sense am I "hating?" I've given you advice on how to find vehicles - a strategy that has worked for many others. Clearly finding vehicles is important to you, and I told you how to do it. I would think a "Thanks, I'll try that!" would be in order, but instead I get this block of verbal diarrhea mixed with xenophobic slurs, a little dash of racism and something about "ya shit else where cheers," which I can't seem to make sense of no matter how many ways I parse it. If you want to have a productive discussion, please make an attempt to punctuate your sentences. I don't even need commas or semicolons or anything fancy like that; just splash some kind of something between thoughts so I know where one ends and the other begins. Think of it like pooping. You have to pinch the turd off every once in awhile so you can take a breath. You can't just squeeze it all out at once because you might pass out and even if you don't the turd will be so long by the time it breaks off that it will balance in the bottom of the bowl and fall forward, tapping the back of your nutsack on the way down and, well, that's just icky.

How are they lost? I have had 10+ vehicles stolen from me over the last month by dedicated individuals. The only vehicles that can be really well hidden are bicycles. Anything else is visible from hundreds of meters away even if it's tucked into a tree. Get some friends together and go comb the forests. If you want something, work for it. Don't ask rocket to show up and drop it in your lap.

the point i was makinhg is some camps have like 3 or more vehicles that never get driven how is any one ment to have the feeling ur talking about when all the cars have been found and hidden and lost to the other world

And yet, our group hasn't been mass producing weapons or vehicles and despite your pretty sad attempt at continuous harassment, you've not been teleported to an island far off the coast. Who's the real bad guy in this? That's a retorical question by the way. It's you. You're the bad guy.

It does. Such as maintaining a vehicle. A farming op in NW airfield. A team engagement in Starry. Play. The. Alpha. Arbitrary. That would completely defeat the purpose of a "fortification". A better suggestion would be to allow teams to fortify their vehicles. You cannot epi-pen yourself. You cannot transfuse yourself. That is enough of a group-play requirement for me. You bleed very often in this game. If bandages required other people, most people won't survive past the first zombie that they encountered. 5 minutes is retarded. This means if you logged out, your in-game character is vulnerable for five minutes during which anyone passing by can stumble upon you. 20-30 seconds is more than enough. There is no "safe place" if you are in-game for five minutes and not in control of your character. Go back to Left 4 Dead.

Hopefully rocket reads this thread and nerfs everything people asked for buffs on. Buffing the vehicle spawn rate would be such a huge mistake... Right now finding and repairing a vehicle with friends is such an accomplishment. The first time you start up that engine and roll out on to the road it's an incredibly exhilarating feeling. More exciting than any piece of loot I ever found in WoW. And the lengths we go through to keep our vehicles safe and secure is insane. Every night we move every one of our vehicles to a new location, and share the hiding spots among our trusted friends; they're never in the same place twice. If vehicles were more common none of this would mean a drip of shit. I would take whatever vehicle I found and do donuts in the middle of Cherno honking the horn 'cause who fucking cares, right? I'll just find a new one tomorrow... No thanks. Vehicles are special precisely because they are so rare.

Spawned vehicles do always need repairs, don't they? At least that is what i was told.... So if it was driveable without any repairs, someone left it there.

110% @ Str8- As an "admin" that is probably the dumbest thing you could have responded with. Play with fire, don't you mean find your super duped camp and vehicles you have probably had before you opened the server to the public? Anyway...you laugh at why we "think" we got banned...but you never actually tell us why we did. You mentioned why people are banned, ok...but why were we? it can't be D/Cing during a fight b/c in the past 2 nights you've killed 7 of us. and getting better position? uhm...both times you guys attacked us at our base...so yea, I'd say just appoligize and keep your mouth shut..b/c you're making yourself look pretty bad. I'll leave you all with a quote " if it looks like shit, and smells like shit, then it's probably shit" that's my Str8Dump. -muah-

There's a save option, you need to Save vehicles/tents for them to stay there.

:S so am i, i think i also caused it, ignore my blatherings. I was on about using scrap metal to add extra defense to vehicles. It appears ive read to many vehicle threads and have merged them in memory. Apologies.

Zombies already run fast enough if they are the standing ones, thing is they have to stop to attack. Hearing gunshots could be improved and hitting harder I dont mind about(unless it brings back the 16k super zombies in which case pass) A good buff that alot would agree on is the vehicle spawn rate. -More vehicle spawn locations to improve finding vehicles and not have to go bush hunting to find them. -More types of vehicle, im not saying jets or anything, but more cars, boats, even different style trucks. as for nerfing something -axes need to spawn less, I went through elektro and about 60% of the spawns were hachets Also just on food, I find that trying to find can food is actually hard in some cases, for every 1 can of beans I find about 3 cans of coke/pepsi and then another 10 empty cans.

..Haha, funny b/c it's true. 40+ tents and 5+ vehicles, so they can hunt cows. I love these guys! Seriously, our first firefight with you guys was awesome, even though we all died =) We fired at least 1000 round of M249, I popped 3 illumination rounds and another 3 M203 HE's, 3 Frags 5 Clips of Stanag.... I mean it was a good one, a really good one... Now what? you have noone to play against. I just am so upset that cowards like this exist in the game, and not to mention, own/host their own servers. @ Str8- I suggest that you tell your boys to stay within the boundries of the map during firefights, if you ever have one again, but first tell them to grow a pair. and like Milk said, and i'll rephrase..."We're coming back" ....oh, How's that 2nd tractor doing?...oh that's right HE GONE!

I really like the ideas op has except for the tanks, I think armored vehicles, like a APC or something but no heavy guns.

There are ways to bring back a sense of freshness to the mod. Eliminate tents and vehicles and make resources scarce. With clans and teams storing up large amounts of loot. They have nothing to do. So they gear up and go raid other players. without being able to store tons of gear this would not be possible....players would always be a few dumb moves away from death. No camps full of ammo and vehicles and food. It will keep people with something to do. It would bring way more tension to the game. Because not only could you still get shot any moment. But the shooter has to make a critical decision as to whether or not its worth it to shoot. If they are starving then its worth it to unload that pistol. I'm just saying.....even the griefers/bandits and pk'rs are starting to complain there's nothing really to do. No real challenge anymore. So bring the challenge of the game back. there is so many ways to do it without implementing a "punish mechanic". make it all about resources. You don't go on killing sprees because the resources are to precious to waste. that's it. It would make the game more interesting and challenging for everyone.

On the wiki of dayz they seemed to have added under the vehicles section in aircraft the A-10,,, its not clickable yet but possible hint of it being added soon? ^.^

I logged back in to the forests east of The Three Valleys. I decide to check out the Deer Stand southeast of Msta and find an AK-74 with 3 clips of ammo. Great! I then circle to the barn to the east of Msta and find nothing so I keep going round upto the Deer Stand NorthWest of Msta and find an M4A1 with 3 clips again! I've never had this gun before so I decide to take it instead of my AK-74. I travel through to Novy Sobor. Looting deer stands and barns en route but finding nothing of note. On my previous visits this far north I've always heard gunfire around the towns but this time all was silent. I approach Novy Sobor from the south, intending to head straight to the Church to find needed food and drink. I aggro a few Zeds on the way so i decide to just run to the church and close the doors. Once I'd fed and watered myself with the supplies I found in the Church I open the doors and welcome the Zeds that were waiting. I take out a few Zeds when I spot something showing above the exterior wall. Is that a bus? IT'S A BUS!! I throw caution to the wind and run straight to it. I have to circle round it as I try to get in the wrong side but I get in and feel great. Full of fuel, and all components showing as green. Also the first time I've been in a vehicle. I maneuver around, getting used to the controls in the process, and get out from between crashed cars and barriers and end up taking a shortcut across the grass back to the road. Where shall I go? I thought, all the time knowing there's only one place I wanted to go. The NW Airfield. I drive through Stary Sobor, again going off road to avoid road blocks and wreckage. I eventually make it to the NW airfield, entering through the gate on the East side and take a few laps of the airstrip, who knows maybe it might tempt some target practice but again, all was silent again. Fine by me, I'll start looting and see what goodies I find. I proceed to loot the first few hangers, not finding a great deal so I skip the rest and head to the Control Tower and then the Barracks further down. I make my way to the final 2 hangers along the strip. I somehow switch the controls for the bus and consequently crash into the side of a hanger, knocking myself out and popping the 2 front tyres. Damn! Off I go on the search for tyres then. I find one nearby and head back to the Bus with it as I still only had a starter backpack but realise I don't have a toolbox so my search for a 2nd would be in vain. It seems like the end of my bus adventure :( I get back on the Bus in the passenger seats to spend a few moments before I leave it. I'm starting to get hungry again so I mouse through the menu and select "Gear." Holy Crap I forgot people store stuff in vehicles! 2x FN Fals with 7 clips of ammo! A Bizon (couldn't see any ammo as I wasn't sure what it took) A CZ550 2x Alice Packs Medical supplies! and more. I take what I can carry and thank the poor souls who've lost this gear and I then leave the Bus, eagerly awaiting the next chapter in this adventure, feeling invincible with my newly acquired supplies. I leave the bus, crouch running away when I hear gunshots! One hits the wall in front of me, blood pumping I break into a sprint and turn a corner to gain some cover. Feeling protected I run around the back of the hanger and begin to feel safe. That feeling quickly disappears as I spot another player crouching between bushes, dread begins to fill me as he opens fire, he misses with his opening salvo but soon finds my legs, they break and I pass out. I check my bloodcount, as my hourglass ticks away, to see if I'll wake up from this. 400 blood and trickling away and there I bled out. My adventure over. It may of just been the usual NW Airfield bandits I hear so much about but a small part of me hoped it was the original owners of the bus, somehow tracking me down, hunting me and recapturing their spoils.

currently i dont have dayz but i have watched about 12hours of gameplay video and read everything on the wiki and from what i have seen i think this would be my main setup lone sneaky survivor/bandit this would probabley be my play style you avoid the cities you mainly stay north you play on servers with few people and you play at night time you shoot players on sight as they would likely do the same to you and you need more gear your allways very cautious scoping a area out looking for zombie bodies to tell if anyone has been there recently you allso set up 3 camps each surounded by booby traps and each with a couple of Vehicles secondary weapon M9 SD its the the only silenced pistol in the game as with all guns it one hit kills zombies with a headshot and that would be its main use a anti zombie weapon primary weapon L85A2 AWS its the only weapon in the game that has thermal vision wich allows you to spot any zombie or player even if they are wearing a guille suit instantly when seen through the scope unlike night vision the scope works just as well during the day as it does at night though offcourse if you play at night then most other players wount see you and zombies will detect you less easyly its allso likely the most acurate full auto assault rifle in game it uses a fairly comman ammo type 5.56x45mm wich you would find on many other veteran players you kill this would mainly be a player/bandit killing/defence weapon what about you what is your current gun setup or your dream setup

Update #3 We sincerly apologize for the frequent server restarts as of late. Despite our efforts to announce them in time, we are well aware that some of you lost certain items, tents or even vehicles. If it is any consolation, it did the same for us. The server restarts were required due to changes made to the server config. The final server config we will be using is as followed: 3rd Person: On (Allows you to view your character in a 3rd person perspective) Tracers: On (Gunfire will dsplay visible tracers) Map waypoints: Off (You cannot use shift+click to set a ingame waypoint) Crosshairs: Off (3rd person crosshairs are not displayed) Nametags: Off (Other survivors name and distance are not displayed) For any questions, suggestions, idea's or complaints, please visit our server section on our forums, by following the link here

Just tell everyone you know to avoid their servers, and occasionally bump this thread. thats really the best you can do atm. Also, send all your proof to one of the dayz forum moderators and even rcoket or anders. that will speed up the process of getting their server blacklisted. admin+clan servers are a bad thing almost always. they are bound to cheat, exploit, abuse server priviledges and hoard vehicles. just avoid clan owned servers.

I think their server may have been taken down yesterday, but one of my mates finally got all of our footage compiled against these assholes. The Youtube Video shows Perry [sAS] flying a helicopter, KraaZe [sAS] (the server admin) flying an AA10, and Pvt. Ryan and Pvt. Baldwin utilizing a chopper and "God-Mode" to find vehicles, and then slaughter whoever may be inside. Ryan and Baldwin became affiliated with SAS over the past week, where they were given choppers, and then used them to hover over Cherno and Elektro, destroying buildings, and mowing down fresh spawns. Oh, and for the icing, here are a couple posts by KraaZe himself, both LYING about the AA10s on his server, and then admitting to flying, and distributing helicopters. And as a final word to SAS, KraaZe, Pvt. Ryan, and Pvt. Baldwin: Grow up, and go fuck yourselves. If you're going to cheat, don't lie when confronted about it, take responsibility for your actions. Pathetic.

There are no fixed spawn points for heli crash sites any more. Since the last update (or maybe the one before ?) a heli crash site can spawn anywhere on the map in open fields that are near forests or buildings. They should do the same with vehicle spawns too in my opinion. Soon as a server restarts clans/groups are checking all the vehicle spawn locations and hoarding all the vehicles.

Now, I just wonder, those vehicles, are those generally broken to be found, and you need to fix em, or you can find already fully working vehicle?

We got all that stuff in less then 1 day (i came back from camping Sunday 2 o clock GMT+1) from then till 00:00 o clock we raided the following items (these are just the items i remember we raided about 75 Weapons + nearly unlimited Ammo): Weapons: 6 x AS50 5 x LA85 4 x Bison SD 2 x M16 M203 4 x M4A1 CCO 2 x M4A1 CCO SD 3 x M4A3 CCO and much more (nearly every Weapon except the Dragunov) 3 x g-suits 4 x Camo Medics for about a decade nearly every tool (NV goggle/GPS etc.) Vehicles: 1 UAZ 1 Ural Civilian 1 Bus....(S1203) where we get it? No we are not camping crash sites.. we located enemy tent-camps (about 4 x 8 tents on different spots). we just wait every day till the Nerds fill em up then we raid em empty.

Yeah happens a lot on our server, after a reboot vehicles can go AWOL but another bounce (or two) seems to bring them back from wherever they vanished too =/

Server restarts seem to mess around with vehicles. This is a known issue.
