I had this for 2 times now: I find a vehicle, drive it to a safe location and safe it. Then I go to a near city to loot something. After 30 Minutes I come back and the vehicle is not there anymore. But on the next day (after server restart I guess) Its there again with all items in it. Is this a known bug? Has anyone else this problem?

choose. how you choose is totally up to you. however, it's clear that some people have no imagination whatsoever, and can't imagine things in the future. so here's some pros and cons of both. DAYZ: pros: 1. it's playable right now 2. we already know the controls and gameplay 3. we already very familiar with the map and the weapons available 4. free nightvision on every game. (brightness/gamma/HDR) 5. we know what to look for in zombies and players (we can identify both and how they work) cons: 1. bugs that may or may not be fixed 2. the game may never leave alpha/beta (maybe) 3. kenyan zombies with teleportation technology 4. it's a mod vs standalone (arma 2's bugs are carried over into dayz) THE WAR Z: (yes, we can assume these from the screenshots) pros: 1. the game is standalone, so there will be fewer bugs that come with the mod's basegame already 2. the zombies are supposed to be in the game, unlike dayz's impromptu zombies 3. new places to explore, new weapons and vehicles 4. more player interactions besides shooting/alliance then shooting 5. possibly better graphics (maybe) cons: 1. the map is unfamiliar, as could be the controls (unless they rip off arma 2's controls) 2. the zombies could be buffed (better/harder to avoid than the current dayz ones) 3. it's a ripoff of dayz (yes it was made first, but in everyone's eyes, since it was announced second, it seems like a ripoff. whether or not you consider this con when choosing is completely up to you) 4. overall gameplay could be far more difficult (less food, less ammo, more zombies, whatever other complaints you have) so there you go, unimaginative people. now choose. i will stay with dayz. why? because i'm a cheap bastard, and $20 for the admission price for dayz was already pushing it. yeah, i'm poor. so what, wanna fight about it? and besides, since the war z is a standalone game, it is FOR SURE going to be paid for. probably $60 if they're assholes.

the night started as usual, spawn in camp, gear up, but something about today was quite peculiar.... the vehicles were missing... i check in with the rest of the guys and it appears our camp was raided while we were away... :/ well, i dont care much for anything in this game, so i shrugged it off and decided to head south with a clan mate to pick someone up. since we dont have vehicles... it seemed we were going to walk. everything was normal, casually strolling through towns,deading zombies and looking for some quick loot... Things changed the second i walked on the bridge south out of vybor... i see someone run across the road, i crouch down and get ready "Probably some scrubs fooling around up north" as my friend finished his sentence, what appeared to be M240 fire, opened up on us... my heart jumped and i made a run for the safety of... under the bridge. There was no thought put into that initial thought... I then found myself...stuck under a bridge... realizing i brought 2 grenades with me from the camp, i threw them towards his last known location...hopefully scaring him, which would hopefully lead him to running away.,... was i ever wrong one of them came down to check if we were still there.... he killed me, but my friend killed him shortly afterwards, the rest of the fight was narrated through teampseak.. They were a group, were guessing of atleast 4... we deaded 2 of them... then my friend ran off.. what really surprised me was that they didn't combat log... i always find myself in a firefight, and when it gets hairy, they log... but not these guys, not when the first shots were fired, not when explosives were used... not when some people were deaded... it was fun my hat is off to you, Clan [A-A] on US 386

I believe this has to do with 1 of 2 things, or both. 1) In a vehicle, you enter the town much more quickly than on foot. Zombies and loot don't get a chance to spawn and you must be a certain distance away for loot to spawn, so once you drive into the town, it says "na dude, no loot for you, ou be too close". This is done to prevent people from hopping from server to server in high yield and military loot spawn areas and just taking everything. 2) Perhaps when you are in a vehicle, you are not really a player, or seen on the server as one. I noticed you have to get out of vehicles for zombs to spawn. I could be wrong as I didn't really test it.

I use an Xbox controller for use in vehicles but use keyboard/mouse for running around and shooting. The Xbox controller is rather rubbish at being able to be used on foot but in aircraft or cars its damn good

When you have a game where players invest in their characters and part of the experience of the game is to progress the character, hacking is a huge deal. If this was CoD and someone was hacking, no big deal, switch servers and play on. But when you have a character alive for multiple days, survive Cherno, Elektro, Staroy and NWAF only to get hatcheted to death by some god mode ball sack, the game starts to lose its appeal. As a party, we no longer build up bases and search for vehicles because of bugs and hackers. No point in running and fixing a vehicle for an hour if the game is going to glitch out and destroy the car as soon as you put the last wheel on (happened twice), or the server wipes your bus and 2 cars just cause (we know it was server because server restarted after vehicles were saved multiple times, we logged for all of 10min came back and cars were gone). No point in setting up tents far from the coast only to get killed by someone teleporting ON TOP of you. Just today, I killed a guy on US 625 who had ghille, gps, as50 and nothing else. Not even a pack. Couldn't loot anything and couldnt hide body. Funny thing is, he used his hacks to kill newbs spawning on the beach and got killed by me, a 1hr old character with an AKM. The point is this. Hackers are killing this game. Thats exactly what they want, and they are doing it pretty well. There are 2 ways to stop them. 1. Do not allow for privately owned servers. That would get rid of a lot of admin abuse and give the devs a lot of control over who to ban and how to do it. 2. Go standalone with something BASED on the Arma engine that doesn't even have menus for spawning things in. If you remove the function, no one can exploit it. This will not stop wall hackers (client side). Without literally millions of dollars, this game will not go standalone. We are talking Blizzard level. We are talking about Diablo 3 hardcore. Those guys spend mucho denero on secure servers and on thwarting off hackers, and plenty of accounts do anyways. I have sworn off DayZ on multple occasions due to hackers. But I always come back... its just that good.

Umm, that did not happen rofl. I stole your 3 vehicles with my buds. If the admins would like my server logs they are welcome to them. Way to be a sore loser and cry hack. By the By, I guess Ebbatan (sp) was in your group as I shot him near the vehicles when I was running back to snag the other two with a buddy; however I did not see you other guys. I am guessing one of you is Josh, as they wanted to vote kick me.

You can pitch a tent inside rock. No Ghillies or Camo's spawning, but still people have them and get them from their old tents. Because every time server resets, tents are back with everything in it. Even if the tent was destroyed. Loosing your not full mag on disconnect was better then getting full mag every time you rejoin. Now you have unlimited ammo. Rare items are not so rare as people know where there are tent's that give you all your high end gear back if you died and lost them. Zombies are way too easy Temperature is pointless (does it ever drop?) You can fix your bicycle by geting out and hop back on Only challenge atm is not to get killed by another player. I mean shit, there's no point even go hunt people's "base's" because if you destroy their vehicles and tents they just get them back after server restart.

The Brotherhood/ TBH What is our goal? We are going to be playing the bandit play style.We want to be productive and get things done, such as setting up multiple base camps on multiple servers, getting vehicles, and having fun while doing it. We are looking for players that can joke around, but can also be serious when we get in a firefight or raiding a high threat area, such as Stary or NWAF. What can you expect from us? We value coordination and communication above everything else. We have a multitude of tactics we employ when going about chernarus which we have found to be very efficient. Even though we might be bandits we're still a nice bunch of guys to hang out with. We are not a bandit group that hangs around the south killing noobs, we enjoy roaming around in the north and we try to headhunt players with decent gear and actually get some competition. We enjoy the thrill of a good firefight! Clan/Group Info: 18+ Teamspeak3, a good working microphone combined with the ability to speak fluent english. You're a skilled player and you're familiar with dayz as well as with arma2. You value communication and cooperation. No whining about getting gear or losing gear. Gear is trivial if you know where to find it. Active, we want to see you play often! Once a week is not enough. No disconnecting to avoid deaths, take it like a man. Additional Information: We do have a home world. We usually play on a daily basis, between 6pm-12pm. We have access to a stable teamspeak server. If you meet the requirements and you are interested in joining add my skype CharlieTBH No more then 7 people will be allowed to join so be quick!

Okay this is my first report but not the first time i got killed by someone in godmode. I was between 6 and 7 am UTC+1 at the 23.juli on DE 648 "Here is your van" (there are 2 DE 648 servers!) I logged in via Six Launcher which promissed the server was protected. But apparently Battleeye wasn't enabled. So i don't know how much i'm in the right when i say i got wronged since there was more then one cheater on this server. First i entered and got killed by someone teleporting in front of me. Eventhough i shot a whole clip into him he didn't die. Instead he taunted me via voice chat and killed me. I had fraps off during this but i got back in and recorded some footage. The godmode cheaters name was "dillon3600" What happened: Day got changed to night. Several vehicles got spawned around the map, also ammo chests with grenades or Rocket launchers ... i only saw the explosions everywhere. I also recorded an "Insta Kill" Not sure if it was via command or what ever. The "You're dead" screen appeared and i wasn't even injured. I don't know if my appeal is legit so i'll upload the videos if someone replied. I lost my hope in getting my gear back anyway.

leave beach head to a town or city avoid zombies avoid most players find food find gear find medical supplies try and stay alive find vehicles get shot in the back by someone restart on beach

I am playin with a large team. It gets old just maintaining vehicles and relocating our camp over and over.

There has been quite a few complaints today about admins kicking people for killing them or looting their camps etc, I guess this must be on the rise. I would suggest changing servers, bite the bullet and do it now before you start finding vehicles etc. I would also 'fraps' being kicked as well and post in the server abuse section. Hopefully the dev's see it and blacklist the server or something. Someone must be in the water, seen lots of posts about this sort of behaviour today.

Yep there is already a full blown training scenario in the core game. I would suggest loading up ARMA2 and playing the tutorials, it shows you have your gear works, you can choose all the guns etc and then use them at the firing range. To give you an idea, I practiced throwing grenades there so I could use them in DAYZ. You can also learn how to drive vehicles and move around, how to drag friends to cover etc.

Hi DayZ! I'd love to see motorbikes implemented into the game. Imagine rolling around with a gang of bandits, driving town to town. Yes, you can make them super loud and attract zombies. Anyone like this? Have any other vehicles you'd like to see? Like maybe a F250 with a buddy sitting on the back firing at zeds!

Mesh accidentally spawned in the debug forest, he started making his way North and came upon and obvious clan camp, I obviously headed south to meet him ASAP. We find loot galore including weapons, ammo, vehicles etc, take a look, see what happened! Remember, this game is all about survival, survival of the fittest, therefore we did what we felt was necessary to ensure our "clan" was the fittest of all. And after all, other players/survivors are more dangerous than the zombies! ;-) Sorry for the poor audio qualty on this short episode, it was an on the fly recording that i wasnt expecting to make so my sound levels were all over the place, i may be quite hard to hear in places, but you get the general idea of whats happening. Watch it past the credits :-) If you like this vid, please like/comment/subscribe, it means a lot and goes a long way to making sure i keep making content (and making it better), plus you also have the chance to win some free stuff, just by subscribing and watching my vids!

Seasons as well as the day night cycles (not sure if this is possible in the arma 2 engine) I would love to see chernarus coverred in snow and ice. Snowmobiles cruising around as well as tracked soviet apc's and the like. I think the winter season would step up the difficulty in game, temperature would be much more of a concern and would drop rapidly when exposed outside. People could find warmer clothing to protect themselves and maybe also winter camo outfits. To balance this I think the zombies should be slower from the cold as well as have the possibility of slipping and falling randomly. "hand" written notes that you can leave laying around or in containers/objects for people to find. Ranging from anything like "Thanks for everything in your tent" to "we already left to raid the airfield, meet you there" More random spawn events similar to helicopters, I'm thinking relief supply drops from the US or some other country that could contain food, water, medicine, survival supplies. If it were possible I think the random spawn events should happen in real time as the server is populated.. for example instead of finding a crashed helicopter you might hear a helicopter fly overhead and then watch it leave a trail of smoke down until it crashes. smaller dust trails for vehicles when driving on grass. Radios that can be tuned to a number of different channels as well as broadcast towers that have a longer range. I think the water canteens should be good for two or three drinks before needing to be refilled. I love how the game is shaping up and cant wait to see more of it.

Just a quick reminder if anyone would like to join. This has been an update that we have moved our camp to US126 hosted by roosterteeth. We destroyed our old camp as well as the other clans for taking our vehicles. Speaking of vehicles we now have a UAZ on our new camp so if you want coyote packs goggles etc. and want to have a good time with awesome gear then speak to me on Skype! We'd love to have a bigger crew but as always we want people we can trust if anything is a mishap you'll be kicked immediately and our camp will be relocated. thanks!

Vehicles tents etc are stored on the HIVE not the server. So unless we changed your mission id rebooting the server will not affect them. You do not need to worry there.

with this reboot...is this like a master reboot with vehicles all at orginal locations and shit and tents wiped?

gonna guess this is highly frowned upon for admins to lock their servers after restarts so their clan can loot all heli crashes and move all vehicles to their camps... if it IS highly frowned upon, and is obviously only used for such purposes, then why is it allowed? its one thing to lock your server for testing (what exactly you need to be testing im not sure, since theres not a lot of options for admins anyways), but its a bit ridiculous for some of the most stable servers (the ones people flock to) to be locked for the public while clans gather up all the goodies so that nobody else can have them, so that they can feel pro after they kill someone with an L85AW who was wielding a pistol. and no, im not raging, i havent died in the past few days (other than an unfortunate incident between me and a door -.- ), it just seems that if you want the community to do better, you should begin shutting down or placing warnings on servers whose admins are clearly douchebags. and yes, i get that there are a bajillion servers, and that you just dont have the time, but there are trustworthy longtime (relatively) dayz players who are willing to police the game for you. my recommendation, have a forum called "reporting douches" with two threads, one for reporting the names of hackers, and one for reporting servers whose admins are doing trashy stuff, like locking the server after restarts, or banning people for killing their clan members. and of course you cannot just trust anyone who posts, but when enough people mention the same names... yeah

If they are using a bypass, you its useless to check the logs because they are using a bypass to jump the log files. Im qutting DayZ, its one of the best games, but im sorry, the game is full with hackers now, cant even play 1 Day without seeing at least 2 hackers. The problem ist, everything is clientsided possible, you can create weapon boxes, controll vehicles, player and much more. Im qutting this game for now (maybe forever?), lets see what WarZ will bring us.

Unfortunately most vehicles are hoarded by clans and located off-map. If a vehicle is destroyed they will spawn back in their original spawn points. Look for vehicles that are coloured, the dull grey ones are just for show but coloured ones are a sign they can be repaired. There is also a good vehicle spawn location map found at www.dayzwiki.com.

If you limit the sprint, which I agree they should, then you need to do the following 3 things as well: 1-Increase the number of fixable vehicles 2-Make zombies slitely slower than players. 3-Make zombies get tired of running just like humans.
