Well. Till the upload is ready i would like to mention that all these things that pew mentions (including the firefight) started around 2:30am gmt+3 time(greece) . Pew sniped the TKG member that killed one of us and then we waited for another to show up because we thought he was in the woods. After 40-45 minutes of scouting the woods and waiting for our friend to come to us in safety, we moved to the camp. As we moved on with the vehicles the server restarts and all the above that pew mentions. Its not the first time that this happens because we raid some admins camp or killing the admin... P.S: All these happened at the east side of the map as you mentioned earlier, above and below a village called "Olsha" . P.S 2: I kinda talk it out with leavaris. They where there, but the camp was anothers guy that stole from them. The server restart and the crash was not leavaris fault but vilayer fault. Alot of servers kinda crashed yestarday hosted by vilayer. Just a fooking coinsidence i guess. Cheers

acording to my expierence: after a server restart\crash, tents will be fully fucked up. all gear was gone only the stuff inside the vehicles will last some time - but not sure HOW long. better find a place "on" the map ;).

This is the apocalypse and you're gonna live like a caveman if you even manage to establish a base? Ahh...yes /endbitch (EDIT: This is the apocalypse so I'm going to establish myself, and become a trader in precious commodities, if DayZ let's me, and I just killed 42 people in 2 weeks, on a single character, so don't worry, I won't be bunking down too heavily.) I just spent 18 days in Chernarus, and I found myself wanting to die by the end of it, when I died a glitchy death. I was keeping on top of ammo, but I wasn't too lucky with vehicles, and PvP didn't give me the adrenaline rush that it used to. Once you have survived, what are you going to do in real life? Set up tents, horde vehicles, nom beans, and pin down players telling 'em you're videoing so they don't fucking DC ? Don't get me wrong, that is wicked fun, but by about day 5 or so the adventure became a little stale. 2 weeks later, I was ready to die, so I practically gave some scrub on the coast the highest tier gear. Personally, if this situation went down I would establish safety and comfort pretty quickly. Rocket has mentioned a desire to go underground, I'm trying to suggest a way to make this desirable. So I'm back on the beach, wish a fresh sense of adventure, and after an hour and a half in Cherno, I'm pretty well geared (ak kobra, alice pack, survival gear and meds), I've fended off 2 bandits, and taken sniper fire. The adrenaline was pumping again, I had to survive. I know that soon, the game will start feeling a bit stale again, but I'll still be playing for hours every night anyway. If you have a problem with this idea, try critiquing it or making it suit you. 'Cos right now, this game lacks long term playability, unless you're dying often. That said, this is why we have a suggestion forum, not to make yourself feel 1 up on everybody else. Perhaps you would like to start a thread suggesting ways to add interest to the endgame, or haven't you got that far? And be honest dude, would you respond to me like that if I just met you at the pub? 'Cos I'd probably burr up hey (depending on the extremes)... Why all the hate, Internet? (yes, I am a hypocrite) This game has the potential to create a world where we recreate our lives. Which, showing the number of people that have supported this alpha, is being pushed for by gamers. I'm excited for DayZ's future, and a suggestion like this could really (and perpetually) involve the community, which is exactly what Rocket wants to do. EDIT: moofactory, perhaps you might provide 1 or 2 reasons why this is a bad idea? Otherwise I'd simply suggest viewing this loot much as you would an empty tin can.

When i first started DayZ I thought WOW! Battlefield 3 was a total failure with 1km/1km (if lucky) maps and it seemed to take ages to run from Cherno to Elektro. Now, a week later I have logged 67 hours into the game (steam claims so) and the map is starting to feel VERY small (especially after I have stolen 5 vehicles now). You can run from Cherno airfield to the NWAF in 38minutes flat and 1 hour from cherno to north end of the map. Were there any plans to expand the map or anything of that sort?

@ MarKeR actually its about every restart that has vehicles and tents not spawn it which is fucking annoying also the rcon program can go and eat a massive dick. every time i log in to it it either crashes or my arma 2 client does. the one fix to the spawns has seemed to be shutting the server down completely and starting it back up from the browser control. @ Zso Sahal barracks loot lolz ? who even goes there any more. crashed helis is where its at. @ corty yes you were banned from the server after you logged off during pvp after we capped your friend in the elektro pub / hotel so you didnt die to us. @ Hakultair also server cant be locked for more than a minute with out it auto restarting which fucks the process up completely again. @yamaftw yes ofc i dont reply the second you post cuz your pubbie ass is the top on my to bow to and answer your ever whim list server is on shut down atm with us wondering if we even pay another month with all the whiney pubbie scrubs that refuse to read the global chat of server is going to be going up and down again until shits fixed. then shit post on the forums acting like i owe them something. dont like that i want my tents and vehicles to be at camp rather than mysteriously invisible when i log in ... go play on another server. there are plenty to choose from

Ok my server has been hacked. Multiple spawing of vehicles (Police Cars) Around 50 on one spot. Small heli's Lots of out game items (Satchel Charges.) What support do I have with ViLayer. Can anyone run me on how to install scripts and better protect my server. Regards Incus

I'm not sure if this has been caused by a hacker who came onto our server yesterday but since his spawning of vehicles and items etc our server has become quite laggy. Anyone else having problems? Cheers lads!

I found this videos on Youtube telling you the Main Controls for DayZ and Vehicle Spawns and what you need to repair the vehicles. These are great videos for New Players that are new to DayZ and that need help. Main Controls: Vehicle Repair Info and Vehicle Spawns:

on NZ20 server hacker spawning ammo boxes, vehicles and killing all players. Happening right now. I could see no name.

Edited post to expand on that point. And I'm serious. I'd rather have a hacker spawning in vehicles and weapons any day vs. nuking servers. Everyone already dupes on this game anyway. Nuking just ruins everyone's day.

You still haven't answered the question about having so many rare weapons. I know you guys run the server, and from what I've seen during my stay, I'm not surprised you've been hacking (not to mention the various nukings that have happened). Secondly, don't even try to call us noobs. I found your camp within 20 minutes of joining your server for the first time, killed two of your men, took your two best vehicles (by myself). Went back later, took your remaining vehicles, killed 2-3 more of your incompetent members, and evaded you for 2 days, before giving up in boredom. US 5 blows dicks.

I don't rage that often and I guess in a good way its showing how addictive Dayz has become to me and my fellow crew, but yeah main point is the server we play on US61 (NY2) which is hosted by "Host Altitude" they haven't updated ANY of there fucking servers and it's driving me INSANE I want to play the game on that server because well we have very good vehicles lets just say ;). BASICALLY does anyone know a way of contacting the server admin or owner or anyone that can update the servers. Cheers Paddy.

but call of duty sucks ass its boring and its just guns its not like they can blow up shit in other servers fom there and they cant get vehicles into other servers

+1 from me. I'd go for more vehicles. It would add some gameplay I'd love to see. Hijacking/ambushing. Whats the point in barbed wire and tank traps if not to set up a road block somewhere and patiently wait to trap some people in a car? Only problem at the moment is you could set one up and never see a car, ever. Also, when you do have a vehicle at the moment you are given a pretty big advantage as you'll rarely run into another group or survivor with one. More vehicles means you have the chance of being followed or even chased over greater distances. More vehicles = more action. I wouldn't even see that they need to be made harder to repair as the more vehicles about and being actually used in-game, the greater turnover in vehicles there will be through hostile contact. That's my thought anyway.

Me and my team found a bus once and fixed it up. The really cool part about it was that it was hard to fix. and hard to find parts. We had to cover the thing and at the samet ime look at parts. We killed like 5 players in the process. The problem though is that most vehicles are already gone. and well hidden. I think it would be good if players would be forced to take the vehicle to certain places where they could get attacked. i dont know how it works right now with fuel etc. i know they can fill canisters at the fuel stations. But perhaps the fuel stations should only be in the big cities. And a canister should only be carried in the hand so that people will have the vehicle nearby instead of them being able to collect it by foot and take it to there hidden vehicle. or use empty servers and put them in the bag and take them with them. the jerry can should be something that is server bound and carried.

Realism isn't the goal. It would be dumb if their were 500 working vehicles on map, thus there's not :)

Whenever I met someone in close range, I just unloaded my magazine into him just in case. Long range is a totally different story, but a 0.50BMG (!!!) round will do some gruesome things to your body, after all, that shit was designed to penetrate armored vehicles.

I'm on board for there being twice as many vehicles as long as they are thrice as hard to get up and running again. I'm sure that 95% of the population couldn't even change a wheel on a car let along repair one from dead to drivable (did you know that 59% of statistics on the internet are made up on the spot?)

I agree about Vehicle scarcity...but why not have the best of both worlds? More vehicles that CAN be repaired, but increase the difficulty to repair them by a relative factor of how much you increased their spawn rates. Essentially, you'd keep the number of vehicles the same, but make the world a bit more immersive.

This is not a good argument for increasing the number of vehicles. Vehicles should remain rare.

I agree, vehicles are only awesome because they are so rare.

No. The thing that makes vehicles "great" is that they're rare and relatively hard to fix. Making them more common would just denigrate the value of vehicles.

I doubt they cheat, we don't have 20x AS50 and shit like that but we're pretty geared up, 7 vehicles, I'm not a part of CGU by the way. Also, tents are having a pretty weird bug where every server restart the items inside of them dupe/tents dupe. it's weird happen to me twice.

The function of the "Saving" with vehicles and tents is to provide the hive server with the data about where exactly that object is, along with its inventory. Due to the cost of having this information constantly being uploaded on the servers, it's set up for players to manually perform it when they have their object placed where they want. (i.e. hiding a vehicle, exit and save.) You currently cannot transfer tents or vehicles cross server.

Really now? Since when have we ever raided another camp/taken any other people's vehicles?
