i currently play DayZ and over the course of a month i have had one bus, So i suggest that there would be more vehicle spawns or something to make it so you cant hold a vehicle at the edge of the map. I have heard that people hold the vehicles at the edge of the map so that no one can get them which is a bit of a shame, i admit i am a lucky player to have found a bus in Elektro which was missing three wheels. it seems like a bit of a waste to have cars, pickups and buses in the game if they just get horded to the edge of the map so only the selected people who know where they are can use them. Another thing i would like to suggest is more repairable vehicles there is a lot of demolished pickups and cars scattered around the place, it would be cool if you could repair them and use them, but you would have to find car jacks so that you could lift them off the ground or something along them lines so that they are not as easy to get fixed up but they can if you have the necessary equiptment. For instance i found a tent earlier today which held Engine Parts, Fuel Tank Parts, 4 wheels, Scrap Metal and 2 jerry cans (Full) so they could of easily fixed a vehicle that basically just had the shell. it is a bit annoying knowing that people have just hidden all the vehicles at the edge of the map so that other people cant have the experience of driving around in DayZ and are able to get around a lot faster than on foot. Let me know what you think Thank you

If admins can ban players at will, it's similar to them having a locked server or a no-friendly-fire server; the server can potentially just be used as a loot farm, with only players the admin likes playing on the server. The banned players also lose all their tents, tent items, vehicles, vehicle items, fortifications, and traps, often on the admin's whim. Regarding there only being a small number in favor of official DayZ rules, for one, that's irrelevant to the truth of the matter, and secondly, people don't often speak out unless they're opposed to the status quo.

Yeah I have had a hacker on my server the last few days. Caught him today. Idiot offered my guys a ride. Logged out and in on a different name asked them to get him to pick me up, he landed his Chopper at the NE airfield, spawned in an Anti Tank Rifle, and went into on of the hangers. I got into the pilots seat and took off, knowing that the 20 Seconds needed to lift off might kill me. He hit the Chopper once, I was bleeding missed few more times before I got the auto hover off and took off at full tilt. Literally. Landed hard in a clearing about 1.5km away. Saved the chopper and reset the server to check if it was legit. It was not. Hacked Equipment will disappear with a server reset. Video, Script Log and GUID screen shot gather and BANNED! If I can't spawn in vehicles I certainly am not going to let anyone else.

serves you right for hogging vehicles

my group stopped messing with vehicles when they randomly started disappearing. Had; 2 atvs, 1 UAZ, 1 dirtbike, 1 bus, 1 V3S, 1 ural, 1 offroad truck. Since Thursday, they have been disappearing at the rate of one a day. Not being stolen, tents full of shit about 20m from vehicle, impossible to miss. Either database is corrupted or they are getting despawned. I've also seen a teleport closest vehicle script that hackers are using. Nonsensical to spend hour or two retrieving them only to have them randomly disappear.

Hackers can see every vehicle and tent location on the map, they're pretty rampant with this latest patch unfortunately. Happened to us too, but not only us, every camp on the server was hit within a 6 hour period, over 50 tents, and 20 vehicles all gone/destroyed.

Server has had about 2 restarts since we lost all of our rides. There are only 6 of us and we are all RL friends. Nobody took them from our group. I never seen a vehicles spawn in a place they should be. I shot and killed for every vehicle i have found except the V3S. I took it from a guy filling up his jerry cans. We had just about 3-4 of every gun in the game. We would all load in the big blue ural and go on raids. We would just drive up into a city/air field and get out guns blazing. This 2 part video shows a little of how we got the vehicles.

Hello, My friends and I are looking to add one more to our group. We have our own server and many vehicles and gear. The requirements are: Must be mature, 21+ prefered Must be experienced Must be gattinous aka murderous aka good at killing people. Must have mumble for voice chat Must be located in the US or Canada Should have driving skills Should know your way around the map And last but not least, be able to work in a group. If you are interested send me a pm. Looking foward to looting with you.

Surely you could have kept only the vehicles you needed and let some other guys experience them. Sucks that you lost all your shit though, i know that feel bro.

Let me help you, because no one on these forums will provide you the 'help' you're asking for, and it'll save the rest of them the trouble. "It's alpha, bro." "Don't get attached to your gear/vehicles." "A clan could have organized that theft easily, don't just blame hackers, or bugs." Sucks though, eight vehicles. I struggle to find any. Did you get those from their original spawn points, or steal them from the woods?

I check and save our vehicles every day. I ride around on an ATV and check they are still there and save them or restock them. We have 2 ATV, 1 Blue bus, 2 off road trucks, 1 (red) GAZ, 1 Blue Ural, 1 Green V3S. I checked them sunday night and headed on a ATV to electro. 30 min later i arrive. I give me friend a gun, we shoot some people. Park the ATV out in the woods. Server resets as usual at midnight. Next morning i go and check the atv, its gone. ok, no big deal, it wasnt real well hidden anyways and when you park them on a hill in a tree they tend to roll down it anyways. So i start the 40 min walk/run up north to our camp. Check the first spot, gone. run another 15 min to the next spot, gone. So, after 2 hours running around. All of our vehicles are gone. They are all parked way way way away from eachother. How did someone in 1 day. Get all of our vehicles? I dont see it being possible. Can anyone explain? Also our server no longer for the past week has shown up in Six Launcher. I have to launch a server from the launcher. Click disconnect. And then go to multiplayer, and then search for the server to join.

Items don't get deleted when the tent is full; they appear on the ground outside of the tent just a tad bit far away from it. :P But I do agree with this: tents and vehicles should probably show how many slots they hold and how many are available.

I've played DayZ for over 160 hrs and still love it and find new things to do...maybe you need more imagination my friend. Also vehicles are ridiculously easy to find once you know where to look, especially now that they can't be hoarded off the map. Most of your post is whinging so I won't address your points except for this one: you do not turn into a zombie because survivors are immune to the infection. So sayeth the Rocket.

If you were the ones to take the Helicopters ect from the hackers, then why did you not report the hackers and destroy the vehicles? Instead you hide them off the map. You say that you kept them because you found them, if so why did you then hide them off of the map?

I completely agree with this, it is just I hate going into servers (and most servers that I have entered seem to have this) where maps show you exactly where you are with a blue dot, show you your direction, and even show your friend and any vehicles you have found. I was just hoping that this mechanic would replace that with making it much harder to navigate that way unless you have found both a map and a compass, and have 10-15 seconds to spare. Honestly if servers weren't allowed to have the option to show where the survivor is, then I would be happy, but the only thing is, is that if that happens, then in-game maps will become virtually useless, because the many out-of-game maps have much more information and are much easier to read. This feature would give maps a use that out-of-game maps couldn't, yet without making it extremely easy to find exactly where you are.

OK.... WHOEVER BROUGHT DUPPING INTO THIS.... PLZ STOP. THAT ISNT WHAT WE ARE SUPPOSE TO BE TALKING ABOUT HERE. LETS ALL MEET ON MUMBLE AND TALK THE DUPING ISSUE OVER. WE ARE TALKING ABOUT THE ABILITY TO REMOVE ARMA 2 GAME FILES FOR OBJECTS IN ORDER TO SEE FOR MILES, SHOOT THROUGH OBJECTS, HIDE VEHICLES WITHIN BUILDINGS SO THAT NOBODY CAN USE THEM AND ULTIMATELY DESTROY THE GAME FOR EVERYONE ELSE BY DOING SO. THAT IS WHAT HAS BEEN TESTED THE PAST DAY, NOT THE OTHER STUFF YOU GUYS BROUGHT HERE WHICH IS UNRELATED TO THIS EXPLOIT. LOOK AT THE FIRST POST MADE BY GARFUL. THAT IS WHAT MOST OF US ARE TRYING TO DISPUTE. To be honest I agree with Faindizzle about meeting up on the mumble for NY7&8. Just to talk all of this over. This thread has gone to shit and I know its going to be either taken down after this post or closed. I like you all personally and don't want to tarnish what relationships we have left. I genuinely think much of the confusion around this whole thread will be fixed if we just talk this out. Also, if you deny this offer because you don't want to take 5 min out of your day to install mumble, which is free btw, that is no excuse for ignoring the most civil way to dispute this little scurry we have all gotten in.

I just spent 8 hours walking from cherno to the air fields. I picked up everything on the way, literally everything. I had the 2 rarest rifles FN FAL night vision with 6 clips, L85A2 with 7 clips, every tool literally everything but a guille suit. This is not the first time i've had most of this, no no. probably the 8th time. Guess what happens every single time? I get sniped by someone i should of killed but is running an alt f4 program. This game is the concept we have all been waiting for, but this is absolutely the most infuriating game i have EVER played in my ENTIRE life. 1. The bugs are the biggest threat in this game, I have died 10 fold to BUGS then anything else in this game. From glitching through floors, walls, to zombies 1 shotting me from max HP and putting me in shock for 5 minutes that i cant even ESC to suicide. 2. 90% of the time spent on this game is worthless fucking running, holy fucking god is the running terrible. There is two things i worry about every time i die, 1. My backpack and 2. How fucking far i just ran and how many hours i just spent to walk into my own grave by some random sniper or glitch. It's not the act of bandits and people killing me it's realizing how much of my fucking time i just spent feeling great finding all the best gear you can have only to have some kid already camping in the best places to be with 1 shot weapons just waiting to ruin the 8 hours you just spent hiking to your own funeral. Funny part is, my last death i saw the guy first with infa-red switched to my FAL and burst 9 rounds into him all of which didnt make contact due to... 3. The WORST hitboxes i have ever seen. It's as if you took the left 4 dead zombies and literally removed their hitboxes completely. If it's not the garbage hitboxes, it's the clunky interface randomly popping up messages and taking 10 seconds to switch weapons. 4. I've lost more weapons to infinity and beyond then i have getting killed. After 2 straight days of playing non stop, putting in 8 hours getting all the best gear, then dying over and over im done and not coming back till a full release unless SOMETHING is done about the following.. 1. Time spent traveling, and aquireing items needs to be balanced. This is absolutely the most important that needs to be worked on. Weather you increase the spawn places of items, rates of items, place tons more vehicles or just all of the above shit needs to be done. There should not be "the best and worst" places to be on the map, period. The glamour of the game will watch as players quit left and right as they finally realize the 10 hours they put into the game over and over again to reacquire the same shit over and over is not worth getting blind sided by a sniper 2 miles away or dying to magic logs of doom. There is only so many times someone is going to want to pick up a tent they can't even fucking place or use. Let alone a barn full of nothing but hatches and entire towns wiith buildings you cant even enter or loot. After my last death and playing nearly 8 hours straight aquiring the same shit i've already got 10 times over already, im not putting in a single hour again until travel is made easier. I remember at one time i literally ran and checked over 11 deer stands, and 2 grociery stores and found NOTHING but axes and tin cans. Just checking those stands and stores took over 2-3 fucking hours, to literally get NOTHING then get 1 shot from a zombie who spotted me 300 yards away. People say the game is "high risk high reward" more like "What stupid fucking way am i going to die this time after spending 10 hours looking for the same shit you've found 300 times over. 2. Alt-F4 needs to be fixed. It's bad enough everyone kills you for shit they dont need, but even worse when they miss you you shoot them, they quit, rejoin, and hit you with the shot they already missed. 3. Hitboxes hitboxes FUCKING HITBOXES 4.Every single bug that makes shit go poof, because nothing is even better then spending 8 hours getting items and not getting killed then watching them randomly go poof or spawning with all your gear gone. 5. Animation times need increased, Let us switch weapons while running, Fix all the exploits (as much as i love having unlimited shotgun, m19, and FAL ammo, it's a joke) Stop trying to implament new things and fix the MAJOR bugs. You can't go a single 60 seconds in this game without some kind of stupid crazy bug making you literally say "What the fuck" out loud. Everything in the game is one gigantic inconvenience, and the game it self is fucking easy, what makes it so fucking hard is learning how to work around the bullshit, literally unlearning how to aim because of the hitboxes, "you cant do this because you will lose that" bug learning curves, glitchers, and greifers. That's it. People keep coming back because of how long it takes just to find a fucking box of matches gives people the self entitlement of accomplishment that they keep getting over and over. Anyway, done ranting. Call me butt hurt, call me mad. Because i am mad, mad that i wasted 2+ days of non stop play to literally restart over and over again, running to the same places, picking up the same shit, dying to the same stupid glitches, and getting banned by the same abusive alt F4 server admins.in a sea of greifers to stop you from getting the same shit you've already gotten time and time again. I'd rather have to spend 1 week to find just 1 item i need like a box of matches to keep it permanitally then to waste 100's of hours getting the same shit over and over again like pokemon energy cards.

When you ban a player from your server, you steal: all the tents the player owned all the loot within those tents all the vehicles the player owned all the loot within those vehicles all the razor wire, tank traps, bear traps, and fortifications the player had set up This is why we need universal rules on bans.

Yep. That was us. We raided the hackers' base and found multiple vehicles and 3 helicopters, therefore we took them. There were 4 A10s flying around, those were not us.

Hell, right now Im in Cherno killing players while yelling FIX THE GAME (legitimately). When we found this exploit I almost lost all interest in DayZ. I dont care if this game is in Alpha, this stuff should be fixed ASAP and we are telling the developers exactly what is going on. I don't want anyone to have to experience a player killing another through the buildings in towns, have no ability to find vehicles because they are hidden in buildings ETC. And I keep seeing players with modified files coming on every server more and more. That usually means they are attempting to use the same exploit but messed up. If we were to find this exploit and just tell the dev team IT EXISTS, what would that accomplish? Nothing but stalling development of this game so the developers can figure out the thing we already know. Nobody is going to tell the dev team whats up who legitimately uses this exploit because they love it and don't want it to go away. WE DO WANT IT TO GO AWAY so people can leave Rocket alone with the crappy hacker reports that are indecisive and have no real evidence of what is going on. This exploit explains most of the posts on the cheaters forums, the others are hacks that have already been dealt with in one way or another to an extent. I would love to play this game without having to worry about others hacking, exploiting ETC, but the one thing DayZ tries to teach you is don't trust anyone, so we cant just will all the bugs and hacks away, we have to force them away. So that NOBODY can use them.

It's not just a few renegade, if they want to hamper us from protecting our server we are going to stop paying to host servers for the community, and people will be on here bitching about every server being full, I am paying out of my pocket for the server, I haven't had any luck getting donations because the game doesn't have reserved slots which is the main way to get money for server hosting. I generally don't ban for DCing and stuff like that unless I am 100% sure, and even then it's just a day or two temp ban. But I do permaban hackers I catch, and even that is against the rules and can get you blacklisted. They expect you to tempban hackers and submit a ticket that takes them weeks to respond to and possibly not even have the player banned from DayZ because you can't even offer logs as proof any more because they bypass Battleye. Banned a hacker this morning, had video proof so they will be banned but they don't show up in the scripts log at all. Edit: Honestly I am pretty fucking pissed and frustrated right now with Battleye, Bohemia, and DayZ. Hackers have run rampant the last 2-3 days and it's fucking ruining the game. I have people coming in 2, 3, sometimes 4 times per day teleporting to every player and killing them, teleporting to everyones tents/vehicles and satchel charging them, teleporting in invincible and spawning/stealing cars and running you over, spawning helicopters, nuking the server... none of it shows up in the logs. The damn scripts.txt doesn't stop them because they bypass battleye... it's fucking annoying. I am regretting paying in advance for the next month of hosting, I would probably just shut down the server if I hadn't.

I found this a few days ago too, there's a lot of advantages with this. For example, shoot while moving without shaking and shooting from vehicles. :P I too made a video of this. [/url[/media

I'm curious. How do you know that the camps or hoarding spots you come across are admin? Is it because there are a lot of vehicles at these places? I've seen places with lots of tents and stuff and I've stumbled across places that have multiple vehicles. I usually hightail it right the hell out of there as fast as I can since I assume very nasty people are guarding those piles of stuff. I guess I just always figured it was highly industrious and organized bandit groups with twitchy trigger fingers who have that hoarding disorder.

I didnt get banned the first day. All what i know is that your admin - yeah alcatraz you are in that clan too - said he tried to ban me. I didnt know anything about it until he said it, no ban the first day. Ah and one last addition - this clan moved their base, a friend killed one one them in it after all tents destroyed and 20+ vehicles were gone. Heli is still there. + They kick for members. Also not allowed.

Definitely do not want more vehicles..sometimes it is like peak hour traffic as it is :D I watched a three car chase the other night, nearly got run over by a truck then was chased ny a motorbike with some crazy dude laughing at me over direct. No more vehicles. Map size is too small once you know it, i am too paranoid to place a tent anywhere. Give us another 500 miles to play with please. I am fine with the distances, i just miss my cryo invisibilty stealth mode ;) Getting shot by a random sniper after doing the run up north is what makes you keep on edge. Zeds are too easy, that i agree with. I dont wanna see your ass.
