Mike, I appreciate you taking the time to respond directly and publicly. I looked for a representative before making a thread, also note this thread is NOT in the report sub-forum. However, you sir have a security breach already, a rogue admin, a poor host, or you're outright lying (no disrespect intended). If you have the means I would implore you to check your logs and I assure you that you'll see multiple restarts. I can't tell you why or who but I as well as others can give you our words that your server was restarted multiple times. Each restart our gear changed and vehicles went missing. Someone dropped the ball, someone is up to no good. You're not ogg to a great start mate. As far as the one day old comment goes I imagine that's directed at the other comments. We joined your server for the very reason all the Multiplay boxes were new and we HOPED we wouldn't experience foul play. To clarify I never associated your server with an older one. We assumed your new server wouldn't subject us to abuse, unfortunate for us our efforts were a waste. One day in and you already need to do some housekeeping, somebody is lying to you sir. Good luck with all that. - Vortech

Tents, vehicles and wire fencing sometimes disappears and doesn't appear until the server restarts. You should wait for the next server restart before leaving your camp site.

Hooligan you are a tard. Did you even watch/listen to the video. We had two motorcycles which I can only assume we took from your 2 guys since there was a naked guy running back up to your camp that we killed. You can see it at the start of the video...2 of us drove on that motorcycle. The other person "Atropa" was on the other one also looking for your camp in a different area. He asks where to park the other motorcycle. The two other guys were on foot and asked for locs and gave thier distance. That battle went on for a good hour. We killed a few , you guys killed a few. It wasnt until you were all dead and you feared for your vehicles that the admin bans started coming down. GG.

its because he was an asshole. people dont really seem to get the concept that you can survive longer/have a better time teaming up. it seems all that 90% of players care about is the murder count. 9% only want to hoard vehicles/loot off map. and the other 1% want to team up/make friends/start a group.

Hello Williamz, I would kindly ask if you could remove the location of that camp from your post I would be very grateful as we don't want people coming to our server for the wrong reasons. We get enough Script kiddies as it is. Basically admin controls; - We can restart the server - We can kick and ban That is it. We cannot spawn items or vehicles etc. There are 2 people with access to restart the server that is myself and Zolfo. And we never abuse our powers in anyway. And I am the person that sits there staring at logs all day :( Basically you have stumbled onto one of our old old camp locations our community is growing in size and we can fill our entire server with clan members so we have alot of people! lol! There is no way to remove tents atm. We have tried running them over but they just come back. We have tried packing them up but they just dupe. Along with all the gear that is in them. So no. We are a legit clan we don't hack and we don't cheat. Until the Devs fix the problems with tents we can't do anything about it. Hope that explains everything for everyone :) Dez.

If you have a vehicle and 2 GPS. You should be able to add (right click) one of the gps onto the vehicle and it would then show the vehicle on your map only as-long as you have another gps and you haven't died since you applied the gps. All vehicles should have keys. You should be able to take the keys out of a Vehicle :- You then carry the keys called "white off road #1" as an item which can be taken of you're body or passed to someone else. (server only none transferable) All vehicles can be hot-wired but there is a % chance that you set of the car alarm and the cars horn will then keep beeping for say 1 hr. (% reduced if multiple players attempt the hot-wire together. Wheel clamps should be an item you can add to the vehicle (if its got wheels). Again they should be removable with a % chance of alarm going off if not the player who placed it. If you own a Vehicle(have keys) and Satchel Charge (or 3 grenades) you can set up a nice little exploding anti theft device if the vehicle is stolen but the alarm goes off then the vehicle explodes. If you own a Vehicle (with keys) and a Satchel Charge (or 3 grenades) + 2 gps you can use the 1 gps + explosives to create a wireless explosive device you can detonate from within 1k of vehicle. Also I think we should have a rope which can be used to tow vehicles and hang car thief's :)

Yeah, no starting gun makes new lives much more hectic and rewarding, but this guy didn't have just starting gear. In the OP, I listed about a quarter of what he had. For a newer player, that was really the motherload. I doubt I will ever find such a well stocked bandit again. Anyway, none of this matters anymore. Since this encounter, I've spawned and died twice. The first one is a pretty good story, actually. I was walking along the railroad tracks, when I see this lone guy running. He hasn't seen me, so I get down, and start crawling toward him - just to get a closer look. I'm about to cross the road when I realize that this guy isn't alone - His buddy's truck is barreling down the road toward me so I drop again, hoping that he doesn't see me. They do. As they are opening fire, I see this little golf-cart like car and a Humvee coming down the road, with a helicopter close behind them. Now, a bunch are shooting at me and I just get lit up. I had no chance. That was the first time I ever saw a vehicle, let alone so many and a helicopter! Anyway, I spawn a while later (had to go do some stuff) and I see a huge fire in the distance. I go over, and the helicopter is in flames, with the Humvee nearby. No clue what happened - maybe a bigger group came by and wiped them out. I didn't see the other vehicles - maybe stolen. It just goes to show - They were powerful to the point where I had no way of defending myself, but there are always bigger fish in the sea. I guess that there is no point in fretting over loosing your gear. Someone is always going to have more stuff and be better at the game than you. -On a side note, is it possible for one helicopter to take out another helicopter? I'm just wondering because I don't think that they can be taken out from the ground - how did the helicopter get destroyed? Maybe with his buddies being attacked, the pilot crashed by accident.

Umm im just reporting this because all of my friends that were with me said that it should be reported (including cptn panda) And it says admin next to the admins name when your on the main screen of the game your on. And next to Bunnys name it said Admin. Also im sick of players that cheat. If you dont have anything to add to this that is going to help then why even post anything? Stop trolling! Plus im a girl and im not really that in to the pvp aspect of this game i like it cuz it is a zombie survier game i enjoy going out and finding vehicles and fixing them and surving . But im sure that doesnt matter anyways.

Not quite totally original, as there's been a thread or two about looting ambulances, however, I agree entirely with looting vehicles for parts and equipment. I do have one idea though, what if you had all the parts for a vehicle? Fuel tank, engine parts, windscreen glass, 4 wheels, and scrap metal, and rotor assembly for helicopters, should we be able to fully repair any old vehicle that takes it's respective parts that we find, regardless of what loot's there? Maybe it could be transferred into the vehicles gear cache? And when that vehicle is destroyed it respawns somewhere else as a wreck? Just an idea here.

I group with lucky people, you know the kind, oh look a clearing, we have a 30% chance its empty, a 30% chance it has 1 (or more!) chopper crashes, and a 30% chance its a badly hidden tent city/vehicle containing all that hard work someone did and left for us to loot. We've learned not to take vehicles though, they are too easy to kill with all of us in it. Yet to see a tent city killed by a chopper crash spawn, but I'll screenshot it if I do.

Since this thread doesn't seem to meet the requirements of the Bugs section of the forums, I figured this is the next best place. I'll keep this introduction short and sweet. I'll get right to listing bugs/glitches I've encountered as well as what my friends have encountered. I'll list the following bugs/glitches in numerical order and you (the viewer) can confirm each one you have also encountered as well as submitting new ones. I'll try to update the list as much as possible. I'll start with eleven and update as I think of more and as I hear more from you guys. Inventory deleting items if required room is insufficient. Camping tents deleting/duping items. Vehicles deleting/duping items. If you gain new items or weapons and proceed to log out within a few minutes, chances are when you log back on, most or all of those newly acquired items are gone. When firing a weapon, sometimes the gun won't shoot even if the weapon is in the "ready" position. Switching weapons back and forth seems to be a temporary fix. Dropping items or weapons on the ground may delete said items or weapons. Lose all items when swimming. (Even on the most recent beta patch and server option enabled) Zombies can walk through doors and walls. Dead zombies seem to stand up above their twice-baked corpse for a split second when a player enters that area. Which can be used as an indicator for other players staking out a barracks or whatever. Zombies run extremely fast or at least the ones that don't have spina bifida or lieutenant Dan syndrome. Since the sprint key doesn't seem to actually make your character run faster, you're stuck at one running speed and the running zombies catch you in a matter of seconds. The animations for the zombies are sped up to break neck speeds and zombies have to stop, pause and then swing for the fences. More of an annoyance than a threat. Server updates/game updates while in game can cause item/weapon loss upon reentry into server. Like I said, I'll keep updating the text with more bugs/glitches periodically.

I can't tell if you're serious or just trolling. We hide vehicles so(stay with me here, I know it's tricky) we can use them! If we don't hide them, someone else will take them and we will no longer be able to use them. The level of stupidity on these forums.. I just don't even know what to say.

I love making machinima, and I want to create a film within dayz. I saw someone on youtube make a video and they had a free flying camera man, plus they were using slowmotion, and even spawning in items/vehicles/clothes in order to kit out their character for a certain scene. How is all this possible? Is it possible for this to be done in a controlled private server? Without in anyway effecting my current character?

Why do you guys hide vehicles anyway? Just so others can't use them? DayZ brings out the true nature of people, sad but true.

I'm pretty sure I remember seeing a topic when the mod was young. The only people that are allowed to have a filming server or anything of real use for spawning weapons/vehicles to make filming easier are the Bashurverse guys. You might want to get in touch with them if you want to film, as I remember Rocket saying specifically that they are the only ones that will be given the resources necessary to create proper videos on actualy DayZ servers. However, if you wanted to use the editor to film rather than a server, you may have some success. I've fooled around in the editor, but haven't found it worthwhile nor easy. Your call.

It's not an issue of them spawning. It's an issue with HFB servers not having an updated HIVE file (or something) because no one who currently has camo on can get into the servers, and if you put camo on while in the game your character doesnt save, or can access loot, or get into vehicles.

I would normally sit out of these sort of discussions, yet the childish behavior has lead me to respond. 1. Drove what motorcycle? there was 4 of you, how did you fit on one two wheeler? 2. Fraps, while they do serve a purpose, this is the fox news of fraps. Showing the part of finding the camp, yet showed nothing up until that point. The only vehicle that wasn't a car was an ATV, which one of you attempted to drive, and when i shot you, you dced. The fraps show only half of the battle.... 3. The ban did not occur until the next day, the kicks began when you dced off the ATV which is clear violation of our server.(We took no loot) 4. Our admin has went out of his way in my opinion responding to you 5. Not one of us disconnected, we actually dced moments prior to you entering our camp, and the fact that the vehicles were taken/destroyed has nothing to do with it, hence the point of the game. So infact we LOADED into the game....(including myself) 6.This situation clearly shows that our admins should use fraps, after seeing such a terrible attempt to use it as evidence. 7. And finally, if our actions, which were done in good faith, to prevent players from abusing exploits, ie, dcing during combat, etc,, and if that server is blacklisted due to those actions, then so be it. You talk of justice, yet your actions towards our admin would show otherwise. If the powers that be demand your unbanning, then you will be, if those powers decide blacklist us, i will buy another server, and ban you again. We hope that others will look past a few idiots, who try to use shreds of evidence to weave their lie, and come to our server and have a good time, and enjoy the honest experience that is, Day Z.

I have seen whole camps including 8 tents and 8 vehicles come, go, leave again, comeback again, on and on. Sometimes its cars, sometimes tents, sometimes both. It is hard to say what is a glitch and what was a masterful raid because they can look exactly the same.

Rofl learn to read :) Im not attached I just find it too easy to steal other peoples vehicles :) move along troll nothing here for you

All I do is loot the northern map edge now. I found a V3S full of top end guns and gear. Drove it about 1.5km away. It's been there for a few days but eventually someone else will find it. Looting tent cities and vehicles stored on the northern edge of the map is far more productive than fighting it out in Stary or NWAF. I don't even have to leave to find food. Run out of tents to loot? Change servers.

I think it would make it harder for the hoarders to steal them back aswell. Imagine poor hoarders crying when you detonate your quad in the middle of the vehicle stock pile and they loose all the vehicles they own :)

I already have problems with server admins who decide that they own every car on the map and horde them all into their little campsite. why the fuck do they need that many vehicles... this would make it even harder to get one @_@

No. Having too much fun stealing vehicles from players not paying attention :rolleyes:

If tents are present then vehicles are also present. If your tent returned and the vehicle did not, somebody found it and took it.

title pretty much sums it up. keeping the gps a rare spawn, maybe take it outside of military spawnpoint perhaps, and add a limited range sensor for finding vehicles.
