one of us has a reading problem cause on my screen it says i'm in the bandit campfire forums, not survivor HQ. And thanks for the tips! I dont bother with high end gear either. I put all my good gear in a tent I have about 1KM away from each city. I just carry AKM, Revolver, morphine, cooked food, painkiller, smoke grenades. I'll pick up wiring and sandbags too when I find them and put them random key locations. I used to be hardcore anti-pvp in this game, but after a while, there's just nothing else to do. I prefer to spend time fixing up vehicles, but they are so damn buggy. They either randomly blow up or disappear from server bugs. I just got sick of spending hours fixing up vehicles only to lose them. Only vehicle I'll use now is bicycle heh. Which is actually perfect for pvp :)

Just keep trying untill you run out of fuel, it is possible. If you want me to help right it then send me a message/email of where it is. As for the vehicle spawns im pretty sure there are many spawn locations but only so many vehicles can be on the server. The vast majority of the servers vehicles have been taken and hidden somewhere by players, or have been destroyed/despawned and are on a random timer to respawn. This is why the vehicle despawning is such a big problem, our groups effectively destroyed over 10 vehicles and it takes a long time to spawn back in. If you find any vehicle then finding more vehicles becomes alot easier, but right now alot of vehicles are just destroyed. I checked around 20 vehicle locations the other day on a newly spawned bicycle but I didn't find any.

After my first couple of months I have done much of what there is to do in the game. The only thing I haven't personally had is a rangefinder and radio. Has anyone found a radio recently? I haven't seen them drop. Also, I have not found all of the rare guns myself, or flown a helo in-game. Those things are not really on my "to-do" list. I have found that the more gear I have the safer I play. Now I have two accounts so I am having a lot of fun patrolling the coast again. Funny thing is my main died in the north and is now my "coast guy" and my brand new account lifted a nice Coyote/GPS/NVG/FN combo off a guy near the Cherno apartments (don't bring good gear to the coast). So "get another account" is not an answer for me. Besides raiding with your group or derping around in Elektro what do you guys do? Do people roleplay? Do any very experienced players actually explore anymore? Maybe I could invent a goal of going in every major building in the map or something. What do you do once you have a full kit? Do you hoard all the vehicles or do you joy ride them around.

Most people have taken them already. On my server people who were hoppers took some cars and drove them god knows where. They have never been back. Another higher skilled group left our server and they had 4-5 cars/vehicles. They also left so god knows where they are.

TLDR, everytime these ppl stream they have some sort of aid from hackers or exploiting server admins from spawning vehicles equipped and geared right near them and say "wheres the truck? drive the truck here and there" ive seen it before in servers, trucks and cars wayy out of bounds as far as the map can go stored there with full layouts of gear and they exploit them in to teleport them to a location they need them or else rather would that be the debug forest for saved vehicles? but nevertheless these popular streamers wouldint be "popular" had they not have any gear at any given time. so they definitely do have help or aid from something unatrual plain and simple. EVERYTIME they lost a l82aws they got a truck coming with 5 l82lws's and the truck is always round about and near to gear. switching server screens when they are blatantly playing and staring hard into the game. its not a matter fact "if" its a mtter fact "when" they do it. they need viewers and do you think the limitation to not exploiting matters to them in this angle? no. they want the viewers and they need the suspense to keep up with the pace to raise money. if they played legit they wouldint raise any money cause everyone thats playing in their server would put them up to a heavy and decent battle that gear would be lost at a WAY higher rate. i just dont second guess any of what i said one bit. its obvious they know hot to block streams with ss's and put it this way hate to break it to you but if you were in their shoes and wer able to get help from glitching admins or scripting hackers without ACTUALLY doing it yourself wouldint you accept that to gain money and raise it or make more $$$ ? after all YOU arent the one hacking... so why not? right? legitimate statement no joke. whole thread is a TLDR joke its all in the question as WHAT IF IT WERE YOU? indeed.

It's known that some admins farm the vehicles for themselves only. So keep alway from these servers if you want the chance to drive a vehicle.

Vehicles can be found in any server just keep your eyes open.

I was wondering if anyone knows of a good server that has vehicles on it?

If you report it to me, the Wolves can go in there with a team and see if they're cheating. Also you guys have to understand that there are pathfinders out there, and if he has one, all it takes is one shot one kill. Specially if you lower the graphic settings you can see through forest easy. Most people play this game on low settings not because of FPS, but because it takes away all the brush, and extra flora that isn't server side, like a tree would be. Its no one in Wolves of War though. We don't hang at the NE airfield. We find it boring up there (closes we'll go is berezino). You can find me specifically on the coast line. I usually hang down there waiting for idiots to come server hopping looking for kills, soon as they fire, I respond :D We specially been having problems with assholes spawning in at the NW airfield taking a shot and disconnecting as soon as they get one kill. Because they know they're f'd when they see two vehicles filled with people, lol. Even hacking thats near impossible to take out 10-14 people that are skilled & instant communicating. Unless they have some BS. But by then they're being reported to the devs with video proof. So we welcome idiots like that, as they have to pay for a new game :D I'd also like to state, that you will find this on ALL servers. You can't just specifically point to one server and say "this is the server that is having the issue." Because thats not true. ALL servers are having issues with hackers, and disconnecting. Our server however has a lot of people that record their gameplay, including friends of the server/clan. So they're going to eventually get caught, so please, keep coming to US 104. We couldn't CARE LESS about losing our gear (the game is more fun with starter gear), catching you would make as all wet inside.

So that's what I'm freaking doing. Several of us are wanting something like this so I decided to run with it. Its just getting started and I just opened up the board so there is a lot of work left to do yet and Ground work to be laid out and talked about like where our base of operations is gonna be and things like officers and moderators are needed so let me know if you would be interested in such a thing, but I feel this would be a great start to something really cool! Ladies and Gentlemen I preset to you The Anti-Bandit Brigade [ABB] http://antibanditbrigade.proboards.com What we are about Rocket (the developer of Dayz) Once said He's not gonna add consequences for killers or bandits. If we think something needs to be done about the snipers and rampant killers and bandits then we are gonna have to stand up and make the change for ourselves instead of simply complaining about it. Well That's exactly what the ABB plans to do. We are not here to complain, we are here to stand up and do something about it. The ABB is a clan focused on cleaning up the streets of Chernarus. The Police Force of Dayz if you will. Death Match and Player killing are running rampant in Dayz and its up to players to get organized and make a plan if we want to Lower the number of bandits and make a change. This change won't come easy as the population of Dayz keeps increasing, but that simply means there's always something out there for the ABB to do. Our missions will mostly center around patrolling the treelines/streets of the major cities and Airfields/Military zones while attempting to clean out the Bandits and Snipers that we come across. Wouldn't it be nice to make a run to the hospital and only have to worry about the Infected instead of the sniper in the trees shooting people at the hospital? We want to try to keep the hospitals safe for all who need medical supplies. We want to let new players and new spawned characters feel safe when they enter the streets in search of starting supplies. We want good supplies and vehicles to be shared amongst everyone on the servers not just the few organized bandits who take everything. We are the Anti-Bandit Brigade and We have had enough!! Rules of ABB All ABB members must follow these simple rules or they subject to being removed from the ABB. 1. We only shoot 2nd! All members of the ABB are required to not openly fire on anyone first. We are survivors not bandits. Bandits Kill on sight. Only fire your weapon on another player if for self defense. Yes this may get us killed from time to time but do not get discouraged. We can always re-supply and get back out there. Otherwise we are simply going to turn into the very people we are trying to fight against. 2. Confirm your targets. All members of the ABB must Confirm that your target is indeed a bandit before opening fire. A lot of times simply following rule number 1 will confirm your targets for you. Often times we may need to clear out snipers that are killing people but you must make sure they are bandits first! If your sneaking through the treelines looking for snipers and happen to spot someone Pointing their rifle towards town, crouched down in a sniper suit. You still have not confirmed they are bandits. Maybe they are simply covering their friends? . Wait for them to make that first shot at the people before you take them out. Assume nothing, Confirm First before making the kill. 3. Don't judge others from simple Hearsay or rumors. Just because Bob says that Susan is a bandit doesn't mean that she is. He could be just trying to get her killed because she called him a dork or something. Make sure to follow rule number 2. Bob says Susan is a bandit, he tells you where he last seen her at. Follow her around some, Let her see you, see if she opens fire first. Watch and wait, see if she kills someone else first. Confirm the target! Exception to this rule is if 3 or more people are confirming they are bandits. If Bob, Jerry and John all say that Susan is a bandit. We will count that as a confirmation. 4. Do not Steal from others unless banditry is confirmed. Stealing is something bandits do. We are not bandits. There is plenty of supplies in the world for us to find ourselves without stealing it. Do not run around simply looting random camps. However taking supplies from bandits is helping the cause and that's ok. Confirm that the camp belongs to a bandit or bandit clan first before taking its supplies and destroying it. 5. All members of ABB must place an [ABB] clan tag infront of their profile name This is pretty much the ground work for now. This is my first time running a message board so it may be a little sloppy till i figure everything out. Also feel free to check it out and give me suggestions or opinions or sign up to become a member even! Let me know what you guys think. Thanks, ThePunisher.

Who are these trolls? I've been in Elysium for a while and none of us have had any issues with anyone in the clan or outside of the clan. We all enjoy playing together. Sure, we have a few really bad vehicle drivers who love crashing vehicles (and have had their "license" revoked) but outside of that... let's see.. yeap, no issues. Seriously, go troll elsewhere. And if you want to write a novel, do it where someone cares. I'm not reading a wall of text. I'm on more than anyone in this clan. I play far too much. If anything goes down, I'm the one that knows about it. And nothing has gone down. Nor do I know who these complainers are. Meaning any problems they speak of never existed/happened.

So i repeat you CANT get banned for using hacked weapons or vehicles. Stop spreading stupid rumors you Yellow Duck. Keep it civil please.

AKM is in the game, that's not what he is talking about. What if someone spawned a tank and you crawled in and went on to blow up Cherno? It would be nice to have an official list of the items/vehicles/bearasses that are legit. As for your 'ignorant fuck' comment, do you talk to people like that offline too? I can only imagine you have a lot of broken teeth.

OP.... you know people do nothing but comb the Northern extremeties looking for vehicles and camps. I do it myself and find ALOT of vehicles, anything I dont wreck/steal I generally mark on the map for others to come steal. You may think your hiding place is great but trust me if theres just 3 or 4 people combing for camps on your server it WILL be found.

On my server I was referring to multiple groups of people from different clans etc. Not all from the same group. My crew only had 2 vehicles.

First of all nobody has been ever banned for using hacked weapons or cars, if you havent spawned them to the game yourself. We have killed 3 hackers and used their weapons and cars and still no bans on sight, you know why? Because if they are rare weapons you cant find ammo for those so you will run out of ammo sooner or later. So i repeat you CANT get banned for using hacked weapons or vehicles. Stop spreading stupid rumors you [Redacted]

Don't know if something like this is already being discussed, but here it is. Basically this is simple, new players join the server, pick up anything they see and will use it. Unfortunately people hack, and what they hack goes into the hands of other players, then more players after the previous and it keeps going on and on like a chain reaction. The Dev. Team should add something in-game to all items, weapons, vehicles, etc. that aren't allowed to be used on DayZ. Now, if they pickup the item, weapon, etc.. they should not be banned due to bugs that we all know occur. The line should be something like this. WARNING: The item you have just obtained is not allowed to be used on DayZ, please report it now to server staff or drop the weapon where you found it, if no server staff are on. Take me for example, I am new here and don't know what I can use and cannot. I used the wiki, but that is just a hassle for players to Alt-tab and look at that everytime they find something. Discuss!

Hello! I have read everywhere that the UH1 helicopter is not in the game anymore. Earlier today i found a camp with tons of vehicles in the debug area. I brought them all to our base. Now that we came back to our base after farming repair supplies for our vehicles it suddenly turned into daylight (My NVG's got waay to bright in a second). Seconds later a UH1 helicopter came above us, starting to shoot at our vehicles and us when we returned fire. I do not know if hackers can make it day when its originally night. But i do know that hackers can spawn vehicles, and the UH1 isnt in the game anymore as i have read. If this where admin abuse or plain hackers i do not know, but i know this: It wasnt a legit raid. Time: 22:20-22:25 GMT+1 Norwegian time EDIT: By the way! 10-15minutes before the helicopter raid, three of my clan mates got kicked by battleeye out of nowhere, when they tried to join the server was full. Normal nighttime of Norway 4 About ~19:30-03:30~ Timeline of events: -3 members or more disconnecting (Making room for friends/clanmembers?) -Nighttime to daytime in a split second (To make it easier to find our base and their stolen vehicles?) -Camp raid Confirmation of the helicopter removal: http://dayzmod.com/f...dar#entry349425 Mod/dev saying that the heli is out of the game due to their radar. Edit2: Just logged in, all the tents are flat, all our vehicles are gone except for our UAZ wich is blown to pieces. Edit3: After a massive search around our base, it appears we got one of them when returning fire at the chopper. His name is Dr. Broski He had it all, AS50 TWS + 10mags GPS NVG RFINDER Ghillie suit in inventory Wearing a camo suit Empty Coyote Backpack (24slot) http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/37417-as50-tws-legit-or-scripted/ http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/37435-little-bag-with-a-rabbit-symbol-what-is-that/

They need to update the server and unban you, both unfair, the server not being updated because anyone that the server was nice for is out of luck, and if it get black listed people with any bases or vehicles there pretty much get a punch in the face

Not necessarily, we have had a couple times where every user include myself the admin and clan members were kicked for spawn scripts for weapons/vehicles. A hacker came in and tried to spawn them on every player in the server, resulting in everyone being kicked.

Me and my friend were playing on this server and we were going to try and fix up the ATV west of Petrovka when we ended up stumbling upon a Ural Civilian so I fired at the windshield not sure if I'd even hit the player or not (Presumably the person ALT+F4'd) anyways me and my friend were prone looking at the Ural just incase anything happened before going to get inside it, anyways we drove it off and hid it in a place that the previous owner wouldn't have been able to find, so anyways the server started acting funny for a while and when we came back into the server after it had just been updated to Beta Patch 95054 to find it was completely gone, so either there was a hacker, the server reset all vehicles (pretty certain that doesn't happen) or we attacked the admin and he checked where his car had gone, although I'm finding it more believable to be a hacker due to my next story that happened 15 minutes after this. So me and my friend after having the vehicle robbed from us went to check the ATV again when we find it was gone and I notice a player crouch walking near the fence (Have a screenshot but it wasnt a very good one considering he wasn't close enough to us and I had to use my iron sight to fire at him) anyways this guy 100% had a beret now I'm pretty certain the only people who have them are Rocket and he wasn't in the game he also had an AS50, after firing at him he did the usual thing that people do...he ALT + F4'd, anyways that's the end of my story. My advice stay away from that server if you don't want to have your DayZ experience ripped from underneath you.

Is there some sort of "option" to remove all the road blocks or static burn out vehicles from Cherns map? Im thinking along the lines of it being built into a multihack?

I still have only killed one player, but more than a few times I've 'stolen' stuff from camps and vehicles. I'm slowly learning more and how to get around, and another few incursions and I don't think I can call myself a newbie anymore. But as for the title.. On the server I play on, someone has set up a half dozen tents within easy running distance of the airfield near the coast. Not easy to see unless you're on top of it, but there non the less. I've been quietly raiding it anytime I need supplies, as the guy seems to be farming the entire area for gear. Keeps me stocked up on ammo and occasional food needs when I hit it up. :) I'm certain I could have killed the guy several times by now, as his patterns are pretty predictable, but I don't think I can go down that path. Just today, I was running along the western edge of the map when a van starts driving through the woods. Now, I was trailing two zeds from a nearby farm because I didn't feel like advertising my presence with gunshots, planning on losing them in the woods. I'm sure I ran right in front of the van not less than a 100 meters away, not to mention the two zeds, and keep on running until I lose them. I immediately take cover...and the guy in the van left it in the woods to go loot the farms I'd just left! I crept up carefully, wary of a trap but he apparently was running on his own. So I hop into the van, and take off for the deep woods in a bid to get away. And I made it! I drove several klics until I found a nice secluded place to park, got into the back seat to check the inventory and the van was loaded. Several military rifles of varying types, ammo for them and several other bits and bobs. Jackpot! So, while I had the chance to snipe that poor fool as well, I left him alone and just took his vehicle. So I'm a thief, not a bandit!

IIRC vehicles are already saved when you exit or enter them, and the menu item is just an artifact from the past.

Why is there a manual option to save tents and vehicles? Shouldn't that be automatic? Proposed change: Tents Any time the gear window closes -or- any time an object is added or removed (slightly more costly) [*]Vehicles: Any time the gear window closes OR any time an object is added or removed (slightly more costly) Any time the last person exits the vehicle OR any time the driver seat becomes unoccupied Or: Both tents and vehicles save on a single server-wide timer.
