as one of the assholes who tries to take out as many people as i can, i can say that several newbies have managed to kill me over the last week with lesser gear then got their hands on some primo gear. sure, the 6 before him may have failed, but the guy who managed to sneak up on my sniping spot and 1shot me with a crowbar deserved every bit of loot he got from my body. Yes i agree that this game facilitates trolling. But after "winning" at surviving there wasnt many other options to enjoy the game. My crew of half a dozen or so has a dozen vehicles and tents loaded with gear from scavenging towns, other peoples camps and choppers. A couple of times our base was found and we would have to spend hours relocating to another base in the middle of nowhere. Any time we want to go anywhere it takes half an hour before your at your destination ready to do w/e. Add into that unannounced server restarts and our biggest enemies are wasted time and losing vehicles to the server. We got so good at not dying we didnt actually do anything for hours on end and the only way we died was to hackers. The only real options we have left for fun are -mess around with the vehicles in a dangerous manner, ie we have a death rally planned to travel most of the map. whoever reaches the end alive wins. We will lose many vehicles in the attempt. -Start from scratch. when you die, dont get a buddy to pick you up and give you gear. this goes against my nature as i always want to use every tool at my disposal. I ended up joining some friends just getting into the game and have had some fun ( apart from people camping the hills with 107's cutting short our adventures) -have fun directly at other players expense, im not just talking about a KOS policy but deliberately killing people or messing with them for the fun of it. I wont shoot people as they spawn or hack though, thats crossing the line. Conning players has got to be the hardest but most entertaining way to be a bandit, sure shooting someone will piss them off, but what about tricking them? Making them think you are friendly then betraying them can be hilarious and there is no penalty if you succeed. There is always the same penalty for failure though. I think we should steer away from nerfing bandits and focus more on adding things for survivors. Give people a reason to want to work together other then another gun and potential liability. Add teamwork stuff to the game, Some sort of reward for killing zombies maybe, The ability to boost onto a high roof, Greater ability to save someone from death, things like blood transfusions. A bounty system for killing bandits, encouraging a third faction to develop... hunters.

They will hopefully be back in 1.7.2.4. ETA today :) There was problem with the helis radar. It showed ALL vehicles...

Just to make things a little more interesting, if someone steals your equipment / vehicles or whatever and has an encampment set up which you'be seen but don't have the firepower to raid, or even If there's someone you want dead for the sake of it (ie a group member who's being a jerk and you wouldnt mind their stuff), PM me here with coordinates and as much Intel as you can and my group and I will attempt to hunt them down and kill them. The cost? Nothing more than the satisfaction of murder. We are armed to the teeth and don't need any equipment, and we will even leave all the loot for you to take. This could be fun heh.

Been on this server for two days and totally ruined my experience in the last two days. Multiple admins on the server abusing voice chat, talking over long distances. We were north and saw a large amount of players on vehicles moving north. At first we thought it was the ADMIN camp and as we moved more North me and my friend items were exchanged for other items like a M4A1 silenced, NVGs, ghilie suits and were attacked right we noticed and turned around. The attacker was invisible as far as I know and was using direct com and telling me friend who was far away from me providing overwatch that "we have the same gun" he shot me up, filled my blood back up and shot me again and again couldn't see him. I just respawned at QUARRY (About as remote of a spawn as you can get) and got shot up again within 5 minutes. I had broken bones and called him out over direct comm and the sounds of the shots were right beside me. Definite hacker, don't know about admin involvement though.

Do you realise that US 69 is a private server is not connected to the MASTER Hive, that server has the helis enable, and i think it has 37 vehicles, our clan dont own that server, we play on that server and also on MvW server from time to time just for the fun, and again those servers are PRIVATE, those both servers had the helis enable. Mmmmm do you even know the admin of that server???

I'd like to report a player named .Zertec for spawning items/vehicles, godmode, invisibility and teleportation Please Ban him

They could add in tons of vehicles, then everyone would be running down zombies and holding crash derbies. I agree that there is a logical inconsistency with 99.999% of all vehicles vanishing into thin air, but this likely has as much to do with keeping areas uncluttered (just picture the miles of highway backed up with cars in TWD) as it does with the gameplay. EDIT: As for tanks, the area of Day Z seems pretty rural. I imagine they were probably all taken further inland to defend major cities, if there were even that many there to begin with. Mind you I'm just speculating to fill the void.

My friends and me got some problems with the server called "LU222". I actually don't know if it is right or wrong what the admin "[TNG]LuziFear" is doing atm. Since some hours (before the arma2 online server went down), LuziFear kicked everybody off the server except his clan members from [TNG]. I would accept it, if he give some reasons for that. He only changed the server informations, that he will kick everybody before 5 AM in the morning but for what reason? I think it isn't for fixing a bug for 10 hours, for that he would turn off the realm or kick his clan members at least. Actually i change the server when i get kicked or there are some other problems but in that case, we have built a camp and found some vehicles on LU222. We can not even log in for some minutes to take our stuff from the tents and change the server. I mean if the admin only wanna play with his friends, then he should lock the server before other players have the time to build some camps and find vehicles. I'm hoping our camp is still up when we can log in, so we will wrap our tents and change to another realm with our stuff. Ibiones http://youtu.be/xomistUWoc0

Id like to know why tanks dont exist? You know the movie "I am legend" The guy pretty much has his pick of whatever vehicle he wants to drive. Hes like the last living guy and everyone else is just zombies. Isnt that the same thing DayZ is trying to get accross? Surely there has got to be some car dealerships that have some vehicles in stock. And Tanks! Cmon. Its gotta be pretty tough for a zombie to destroy a tank. Why in DayZ would there be none left?

Get some grenades and blow up their precious vehicles. If you can flatten their tents while your at it you get a tin of beans.

Heh....Guys, I was watching InTheLittleWoods stream before I bought the game. They legitly found a tank and fixed it up. it does exist, except its quite possibly one of the rarest vehicles in the game. It is not a hack, at least, it probably isn't, but do realize that it is possible to acquire.

To the owners of the camp on US 470 Atlanta, just north of Devils Castle. My bad. I did not mean to flatten all the tents and destroy all the vehicles. I just couldnt help myself.

Really great job! i just had 2 more friends get the game and start playing this week. I currently host a server (us1094) and We all are having a great time playing. One suggestion i would like to make especially with the respawn button being disabled soon is maybe the introduction of more low end vehicles, such as bicycles, that respawn maybe daily. Maybe this does not go along with the hardcore gaming experience that is your vision it is just after playing on many different servers and an untold amount of hours i have noticed a lack of any vehicles in the game being used. To me it seems like the vehicles are all hoarded and hidden away and brought out only when deemed safe. (like when server population is below 10) After hundreds of hours of playing i have seen the large bus once, 2 motorcycles and a truck that was stuck in the terrain. oh and 2 bicycles. Hell i would be excited at this point if i came across a rideable tricycle, lol! 7 days of non use for vehicle respawn is a tad much i believe.

And it did say session lost after 30 seconds into the count down. This isn't the first time this has happened to me and friends. I know what happened and why he reset it.... he didn't want us to report him for having hacked weapons. I have noticed it more and more admins taking advantage of the power hacking in the game weapons and vehicles. Just the other day I say a admin spawn a Apache and the funny thing is, is that when he saw me on that field I got kicked now some screen keeps popping up on that server and it won't let me in (idk if that means I am banned or not from that server) The main point is the admins need to have someone above them too because they are abusing their power when they can.

I am the person that has been taking your vehicles and supplies the past few days. While attempting to steal more of your stuff tonight, someone from your camp returned on an ATV. I quickly took a M249 from the tent I was looting and opened fire upon the ATV. They somehow managed to escape with the ATV. I figured that this person was going to return to the camp, so I waited in the trees for a good 5-10 minutes before spotting someone by the tent I looted. A few shots later, Josh was dead. I proceeded to carefully make my way to the body, but, knowing that this camp was the creation of more than just one person, I used extreme caution. Sure enough, I saw someone in the opposite tree-line making his way over to the camp. Once again, I opened fire on this person. I hadn't gotten the kill, and he had ducked behind the trees. He sprayed randomly through the trees, so he obviously did not know where I was. I crawled a bit closer and I noticed him crawling on the floor not 50m away. I didn't have a clear shot, so I sprayed that area until I saw "______ was killed." I took a few more supplies and figured I better get out of there before more people show up. Also thank you for not ALT-F4'ing during this fight.

Locking server exploiting is mainly for loot farming, using vehicles to get around unopposed and to a small degree ghosting. None of this can be done when you stop your server. Vilayer seems to be very fair, so I would just explain the situation if anything comes of it. However I doubt they will have problems with you turning your server off for a time while you get your bearings

What else is there to do besides kill people? Walk through the trees up north, shooting wildlife and filling water bottles at ponds for days until you get randomly shot or die to a random bug? People who hate PvP... do you really have that much fun playing Walking Simulator 2012? Because that's ALL YOU FREAKING DO if there's no PvP. I might be able to get a little more into the pure survival aspect of the game if the odds weren't so high that my game will be ruined by a bug. Rampant bug-related deaths, being teleported to the debug desert, and completely unreliable tents and vehicles make it very unattractive to get emotionally invested in the long-term survival game. Might as well just stay in town and shoot people.

Clan on server US 38 are confirmed hackers, have spawned in multiple weapons and vehicles.

Yeah, that is basically what happens. They horde all the vehicles on the sides of the map.

Me and My friends were playing on US 578 hosted by The United Sirs of America yesterday and while exploring the map we've come across a camp with a lot of tents and two vehicles, a blue van and a yellow car. We stole both vehicles and ran away with them, after getting some fuel a BIG ASS TRUCK found us and crashed the yellow car wich I was driving while my friends with the van escaped (Yes, after the truck smashed the car I ejected and I DIED HIT BY A TRUCK IN THE ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE, I loled so hard at that) With that being said, after my friends with the blue van rescued me at the coast we drove of trying to find some parts to repair the van. After a while I got whispered by the admin! Did the guy in the truck was the admin? Are whispers allowed? Or did he just found my dead body and left my beans on it? Anyways, I just wanted to reply this... Thanks for the beans Mister Admin. And the van, if it was yours! Here is the pic of the whisper! Sorry if this was posted on the wrong part of the forum.

After reading your complaints in the "Respawn button" thread, I've concluded that you're like a bad idea machine. Everything you propose flies in the face of what this mod's developer has stated are his goals. While we're at it, there should 5 times as many vehicles available and there needs to be a working mass transportation system to instantly teleport us between cities in the game because the map is too big and we shouldn't have to waste our precious gaming time playing the parts of the game that don't involve shooting other players. FFS.

Yeah we find vehicles by chance. Are we supposed to just leave them there or give them up? Really man, lower your expectations. Edit: So you're talking shit about 5 guys moving the vehicles to another spot on them map? Instead of complaining, why don't you search for shit like that. Edit 2: Oh yeah, and three of our vehicles are taken from someone else who was hoarding it, so don't think about coming back with some "equality for players" bullshit.

Hello and good day to everyone. Thank you for taking the time to read this. I am looking to form a group of people to play Day Z with and explore Chernarus. No experience or skill level required. I have been playing the game for a very long time and am more than happy to help newcomers learn the ropes. I welcome experienced players as well. Our main focus will be to set up a camp and get geared up while repairing vehicles. Also, I do not shoot on site and only engage when necessary. I play pretty much every night. If you are interested, add me on skype, my username is the_monopoly_guy. I look forward to meeting you and having fun in DayZ.

5 dudes hoarding all the vehicles on the server what a bunch of legends! I hope your camp gets reset.

A mate (ipz) and me were playing on US 750, we found 2 working cars and a heli crash site and started setting up a camp. When we drove to the NW airfield the admin (Goliath) and his mate (Ni**erflip, not going to use his racial slur) joined the server and instantly kicked everyone from the server. We tried rejoining several times because we wanted to save our car so its not getting lost. After 3 or 4 times rejoining he simply banned both of us. Meaning as soon as we join the lobby we instantly get kicked without even the chance of getting into the game. We can connect to any other server, so its not a global ban obviously. I had that happen on a different server already, when the admin restarted the server and kept kicking everyone, because he wanted to loot alone and without risk. But back then I didnt care, since I could go to any other server. No though, after setting up 2 tents filled with what we found (weapons, ammo, medical) and finding 2 working cars I do care a lot. We did nothing to deserve those bans other than rejoining the server a couple of times to save our car. And as far as I know server admins are not allowed to kick or ban without any reason, lock the server or have less than 40 slots or so for it. Not sure if you can lift those bans, or if there is anything you can do to stop him from doing that in the future. Server Information: Name: DayZ - US 750 (v1.7.1.5/Beta 93825) [Regular 3DP:1 CH:1] dayzmod.com - hosted by Queefers Everywhere Address: 74.121.190.210 Port: 2332 http://arma2.swec.se...ver/data/254123 If you need any more information or have any more questions feel free to message/email me or post here. I hope this will get resolved soon. Regards SonnyBlack Edit: Apparently there is a thread about that server already, with the same admin involved (Goliath). http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/41150-us750-kicking-players-without-cause/ He is explaining why he is kicking players there, because of some 20 men raids, when they are setting up 30 tent bases and have all the vehicles. Now me and my mate had 2 tents and 2 cars. And he kicked everyone else as well, before he started kicking everyone the server had 8, 9 or 10 players, something along these lines. You wanna tell me that all of those have multiple tents set up with multiple vehicles around, "hoarding" stuff? Seriously?
