Let's think this through: 1. You have 3 camps, all along the top of the map. 2. On the day you checked them, or someone in your clan, they had been raided by unknown assailants. 3. Vehicles you had were shot up or destroyed, tents empty or gone (I assume here). An ATV was stolen???? How would you even know that? Doesn't matter anyway so moving on..... 4. You assume it was hackers, because no one had been to the camps in 5 weeks that you were aware of. Looks like you are just whining about another clan's ability to successfully carry out a multi-camp raid, or something similar. If you are still mad about it, then I suggest going on a player killing spree until you get the ones responsible. Otherwise, just start over like the rest of us who just try to survive another day in DayZ.

Hey This might be more of a fix than a suggestion, but for people that dont know it. When u press save on a tent or vehicle with loot, that save will be loaded on server reboot. The problem is that when u have servers that reboot every 6 hours, for giving heli crashes new locations and refreshed loot, which i find is fair, the problem is the tents, if u have a as50 u can put it inside every tent u have and then press save and pick it back up. after server restart boom, as50 in all ur tents, that is really not a good thing, makes u loose reason to move to places with high value loot. I dunno how u can make it for best server performance, but maybe everytime a player is done interacting with vehicle or tent, the server will save the tent. Kind Regards Bamma

To introduce ourselves first, we are a group of long time friends. All European, mainly UK. We have our own website and Teamspeak and are in discussions regarding a DayZ server but no decision yet been made. We are 11-12 men strong at the moment, however with only 3-4 online at one time, we are now looking for like minded gamers to team up/join with us. We don't want screaming kids over the mic, so either mature or adult gamers need apply. check out http://1hw.co.uk and look at recruitment section and apply as instructed using the template provided. To make clear our intentions, we generally shoot-on-sight human players/survivors as not doing so in past experience has ended with us dying first. We want to get a camp sorted, perhaps a few vehicles and tactically take the valuable areas such as Stary Sobor, Airfield etc. No strict rules as such, just be willing to do whats needed to work as a team, and have fun in the process.

I am a new member of CGU as of yesterday and I assure you they are not cheating. We have been constantly raiding air bases and such to get the supplies. Every one in CGU is butt hurt that people took our vehicles. then we killed someone got it back then the server crashed and we lost alot of stuff. :( TO my knowledge Ewrawr Was making his way back to camp and saw you guys looting us. So that was sad. We all scaled the top half of the map last night searching for our vehicles but like i said. Server=Crash. Also i enjoy all the map markers you made all around our map saying how trash we are.We dont cheat. We loot. WE have 16 plus members of cgu i believe. With everyone looting and bringing back to camp thats how we got goods. Keep in mind this game has been out for awhile. Im sorry that you think we hack. But this is no rigged server. WE also have server logs to prove it :/ sorry bud your argument is invalid. in fact we thought you were hacking at first until we checked the server logs cause alll of our camps had been found. But if our server does get black listed we have proof of nocheatingwhat so ever.

Transport by foot is pretty slow and no one likes running for ages, so why not put in vehicles which are a little bit faster than sprinting? Obviously they wouldn't need many resources to run, apart from some scrap metal or wood to repair any damage. For example, what about bicycles which would require a scrap metal to repair and they have a high(ish) spawn rate so that they aren't spawning everywhere, but are about as available as a new bag or rifle. Also, what about Paddleboats? You would need some wood to repair it when damaged. It would also give players an alternative to dropping all their items when wishing to go away from land. It goes without saying that I intend these to be quite a bit easier to come across than the boats currently available. Do not missunderstand me, I am not saying make these things common to come across, just that after playing for a full day the player shall have around a 50/50 chance of coming across one of these. My reasoning is that after playing for a total time of AT LEAST 80hrs me and my two friends have not come across a single vehicle. Open to any suggestions or ideas, but please try to avoid the classic "This idea is stupid." posts. With reasons that would be fine but please include them.

No seriously lol iv seen people turned into nuns and now cows.... people ported into the sky and ocean and this happened today :( these guys came from no place and there is no way they could have known were we where at that specific time in 225km map .... there was almost nobody-online they came right for us and right for our truck like they were tracking it ! and i know hackers can see vehicles locations. And in 1 day we lost both major bases ... worse thing is we thought we killed the guy who raided our fisrt base and after we did the server started to lag and another guy we know in our team speak was on the coast and someone was spawning helis and insta killing people. I know this is alpha, its all about testing bugs and working it all out. But ESP, Godmode, Telporting and spawning items is not alpha or beta testing it is assholes runing the game for us testers my clan of which 22 people all up play together on DayZ worked for weeks to procure a great deal of stuff and in one day hackers took it all. Whats the point of playing "seriously" whats the point at all when nothing you do will count, i mean half the games alure is this but not when the other side cheats in ways that cant be countered. I have spent days playign this game, lost sleep and negletcted all sorts as it just so much dam fun, but when stuff like this takes place i look back and go wtf was it all for ? i am as of now the sole survivor of these attacks, i retained my things on person but the rest of my clan on at the time of the first and second attack lost everything incluing both our camps. Battleye sucks... and there are no real counter mesures to stop these scripters and BS bastered that are purchasing fucking trainers.... so anyone can do it.. FFS put something in the code that stops it for good ill suffer any pains i have to as a player so long as it means we are all on equil ground.

how is that the opposite, maybe i worded it wrong. what I mean is that as the game progresses, players may receive missions or objectives that are very difficult to achieve, they might require a lot of preparation, such as reclaiming a set of buildings or a lab or something from the infected. once the area is cleared then significantly more zombies start to spawn outside of the cleared buildings, making escape back to the safety of the trees dangerous. Later game players would experience much higher levels of zombies in the server after completing objectives. I don't think creating a kill count or scoreboard will help. who keeps count when you are just surviving. But if you were forced out of the safety of the trees and the hills by the promise of gear only obtainable by completing objectives set in game and defeating what would essentially be a large horde of zombies, then the risk reward aspect of the game would continue to a higher level. Things like radio communication, GPS, satellite Phones, Working vehicles, Safety deposits, Store rooms for food etc etc. What I was trying to say was Nobody would want to stay in the hills eating goats for the rest of their lives. what they want is to get back to normality. That should be an ongoing challenge for late game players and the rewards should be fitting to the huge risk the player takes.

tbh its best just to test a few out, ones that you can always get into, and with a difficulty that you like.also if you plan to go solo its probably a good idea not to join a clan's server as some will hunt players in packs or horde vehicles (not all clans might i add)

orthodox chritsian priest is not a jew or a nun ..... :P hmm ppl in vehicles im getting outta here ... no wait ill just swerver around infront of them they will never notice me there -_- hey look i got shot at alt+f4 casue im hardcore, if you act like a derp at least take the death like a man

So many people cry on the forums, me included that this game is unbalanced and full of crap. But not no more my friends. I have figured it out, the magic of the game, i have found it! Right now i have everything i could ever want, so i have decided to do just that, hide all my good items, and go have fun, i found about 4 vehicles in the last couple dayz, im going to take the least rare (probably the tractor) and high tail it around and see how long it takes until i get shot dead, or i could go around on a high population server and shoot people, see how long it takes for me to die, and ill be a good sport about it, if you do kill me i will wait until im actually dead and let you take my hard earned gear, because i have realized the true meaning of Dayz, DIE DIE DIE And you may think im egging people on, well i am, i have a hidden stash with the best of everything that no one but me will ever find, and in the future if i ever want everything i can always go back, grab my stuff and resume being a forest hermit with everything i need to survive out of civilization. I hope you become just as enlightened as i have, the simple trick is, not to give a shit, if you dont have high hopes, when you die you wont be mad, you will shrug and go back to looting, over and over and over again, because thats what Dayz is, a walking simulator.

were there any periods in those vehicles?

it wont respawn were it was blown up. .it will spawn at one of the vehicles spawns

Our server has been having issues as all currently are. ViLayer (our server host is fully aware of the issues.) Our server is restarted every 4 hours as recommended by ViLayer staff to maintain upkeep. With the latest two patches that have been released tents are no longer permanently destroyed along with vehicles. It's more of a pain in the ass than anything because we have maybe 100+ pitched tents on our server that we can't get rid of. As I stated, ViLayer is well aware of the issue as well as DayZ staff. I also want to mention that the latest script detection .txt that has come out with the latest patch also has errors. It works in catching majority of hacks now, but once someone runs an unauthorized script, instead of kicking that individual, it kicks everyone from the server. If you would like to provide a time and date for the incident your referring to, I would be happy to see if I can find the log files confirming that. This has happened 3 days in a row now and while a inconvenience, I'd rather have everyone kicked from the server for a few minutes than have everyone nuked and lose all that they have worked towards. If you want to PM me I would be glad to send you all of our old camp site coordinates so that you can see this for yourself.

So yeah, someone has spawned loads of vehicles, including a Church and loads of statues in the Airfield... which is a bit weird to say the least. Not sure who's server it is, but if someone could pass along the message and get it sorted, would be appreciated.

I did some thinking on this last night. Well, not necessarily this, but PVP in general and where it takes place. Most new spawns get killed somewhere along the coast between Cherno and Elektro. People seem to think these are good places to gear, maybe even the best places to get gear early on. I was on 3 different servers in these two towns last night, and most loot was pretty well picked over...but I stayed because I like interaction with other players, whether that be positive or negative, and my normal group was either offline or pretty far north. Either everyone else in town has that same outlook (interaction with others, whether it's positive or negative) or they made a terrible mistake and need to branch out to other towns with more abundant loot spawns due to a lower population of people looking for interaction with other survivors (Zelenogorsk and Berezino come to mind). If you want to play this game as a group of survivors surviving in some sort of "authentic" way, you need to get the hell out of the city and make camp somewhere in the woods close to low-risk loot to sustain your group. You don't need military loot, so you can stay away from airfields, and vehicles spawn in several small Chernarus towns. You don't have to put yourself in the middle of conflict if that's not your play style...you just need to find a group of people who share that ideal and build off it with them. I think some sort of group system is a great idea - make your teammates easily identifiable and open up a group chat option. In a real world scenario walkie talkies aren't that difficult to come by. Base building options would also be an improvement. Survival is already in there - you need to eat, maintain a temperature and stay hydrated on top of maintaining a high blood level. Horror is extremely subjective and not everybody will be pleased ever, and it's not the goal of this "zombie apocalypse simulator" as I understand it.

Just played and I was peacefully riding along on my bicycle and then I heard engines running so I quickly pressed F9 to record it on Fraps. I was just wondering if anyone was interested in the video? It will be up in about 45 minutes.

So we were playing around a bit in one of our clans groups last night and managed to stumble across some vehicles located in different parts of the map. It was late for us, maybe 2:30am and the alcohol had taken over our sense of reasoning. What better to do than to drive around in a convoy all over the map, eventually it ended in tragedy. Enjoy the video, it's worth watching in HD. We have over 140 members and are recruiting. http://www.ugn-gaming.com/dayz

yah its mainly for the vehicles to get around since i dont want to risk the veh we have on our main without our party

So downgrade back to the old beta version, get your stuff (you cant bring the vehicles with you) and then go back to the newest beta....

The beta client is supposed to be backwards compatible, ever since i updated from 94876 to the newest version i can play on servers with the newest (95099) but cannot play on the old beta version mainly 94876 and getting stuck on wait for host. The reason i want to join the previous version is because i have val loot and vehicles but our main server is is the most current beta client. I updated battleye but i have a feeling this soley rely on the client. Multiple clan mates get the same thing.

I only have seen 2 vehicles in their spawn and both were in lack of repair before being able to be used. The only working vehicles I had were randomly found at the forest

There seems to be a problem where a server reset (caused by a crash or whatever) will cause tents and vehicles to become lost. However the next time the server is reset the vehicles will spawn again. This is listed on on the DayZ wiki under known bugs. As far as I know, it is impossible for people to take a tent that you have set up, so that leaves two options; they either stole the vehicle and ran over your tent with it, or the server has been reset and now has the vehicle spawn bug. This has happened to me every time I have found a vehicle, so far I've lost two bicycles, an offroad pickup, two ATVs, and a tractor because the server has been reset as I'm driving, looting in places where people will find them before I can get them back after the server reset, so if you're prepared to wait, your best bet is to go back to where you left your tent, and just log in every now and then to check if it's reappeared back where you left it. If your tent's not there assume it's the bug, if your tent is there but your ATV isn't then assume someone has taken your vehicle. Pro-tip: If you have a vehicle you intend to keep for yourself, surround it with tank traps before you log out. This'll pretty much half the amount of people that can steal it as it'll be off limits to anyone without a toolbox.

A ''Anti Cheat'' it's added. Now, on the FR 105, you can say : GoodBye Cheater, you can't spawn any guns or vehicles. AND , cheaters can't make Nuke on the server. A very very thanks to Isoterik. (http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/27728-battleeye-script-detection/)

If they are completely gone and not flattened restart server, (might be able to check someone else's camp to confirm) if you cant, wait for it/ contact admin and tell him vehicles/ tents aren't.loaded in its a common thing that it sometimes fails to load hive data and doesn't load in vehicles/tents/wire etc... And the bus missing can also be a player since its so damn big its visible from like the other side of the map. --- fps drops who knows.. arma you know.

LOL the amount of tents and vehicles I've looted and stolen is on the rise. Finding them in places that are not common is easily the fastest way to gear up outside of sniper hunting in Cherno/Elektro. So next time you hide something where no-one will find it, just remember that someone will find it ;)
