I would like to see the AKs with the GP25 launcher etc, I think there SHOULD be Western weapons in game, but they should only be obtainable from the Crashed Heli sites - which are the US heli crash sites. Forgot to add, I think that the vehicles in the game should be almost exclusively Russian too, the good old Huey should be replaced by MI-26 or something similar :)

And it went down again.. without notice.. couldn't save our vehicles in time <_<

I'll never understand why all these heavily geared people go back to the coast. Once I get enough food and water to make it up north I never return to the coast unless I'm looking for vehicles.

yes people walk there all the time unless they have vehicles. which are rare, hoarded by clanies and cheaters. if you don't like walking, you won't be playing dayz for very long. its not called a walking simulator for no reason.

I have also found that my enjoyment is inversely proportionate to the quality of gear I have. I can't help but WANT that huge Coyote and M4a3/G17, but the more of them I have the less fun I have. Sneaking into a small town just hoping there's going to be at least a can of food or maybe a soda is so much more fun than being fully geared. Thank god for vehicles keeping me busy and forcing me to work with others or I'd be killing myself every time I get set up with gear and camp.

Hot, I haven't even seen a vehicle in game yet. I also know you can only repair vehicles that aren't rusted.

Hello there fellow survivors! I've been playing DayZ for a while now but I've only been at the NW Airfield only once, was playing with 2 of my friends on teamspeak and we managed to kill some high geared guy in Cherno. After we killed that guy we were like fully loaded and geared enough to go to the NW Airfield and how we did it? Walking.... yeah we just walked up there and took us like 3 - 4 hours i think... we did some scavenging on our way too that probably took an hour of the time so yeah don't really feel like walking up there again... So i've been kinda wondering do you survivors here manage to get vehicles everytime you go there? I've never seen any vehicle i could repair and if i do i probably won't get all the parts in time before someone else repaired it...

i heard they de spawn if parked off the map for more than 24hours and havent moved. I doubt thats true tho. Right now, cars never despawn - even if they blow up and end up a burning wreck. They will just come back full health on a server restart. Has been that way for awhile. Doubt they despawn off map tho i havent been lame enough to test it out. Sometimes on a server restart all vehicles and tents dissapear. Another restart is needed to bring them back

LOL The teribad netcode has been in the game 3years. They are not going to change it now. Servers desync players every 5seconds and if that happens in a helicopter passengers fall out and die. The radar is op - whoever controls a copter controls the whole server for vehicles and camps. Servers cant even handle 40 players running around never mind a few flying. I very much doubt Helicopters will ever return. However they were fun while they lasted and I dont see why people cant have the choice to enable them on there servers or dissable. 99% of server owners would enable them, even with the bugs, radar and the lag. They would put up with it, just like they do with the rest of the game that is full of bugs, lag and other stuff that kills you.

why do they do this actually? Doesn't really seem fun to have everything you can get in an unfair way... and if they still want that stuff go host a private server or get your vehicles in a fair and honest way..

Yes, problem being, I can't find them. And last time I did, (moron marked it on the map.) The Admin used his ability to track vehicles and players to find our camp and take everything! Just because we took an offroader.

Hi, me and two mates where driving around with a pick-up and a motorcycle in Elektrozavodsk, just after we had left the town going east along the main road we suddenly hear a M107 shooting at us. We see a player named Krakozybra standing along the road shooting on us, he kills my friend named (Dunder) I eject out of the car and shoot him down asap, after a while when we've looted him we hear gunshots again now me and my other mate get inside our vehicles and drive away. Then suddenly out of nowhere the same dude (Krakozybra) starts to shoot again with his M107 as he has respawned, we are going in high speeds and Krakozybra starts to teleport after us shooting like an idiot, now after a while we managed to out speed him. Unfortunately I don't know how to prove this as I don't have any video proof of it at all. Thou I have a picture upon his death right after Dunder dies.

yeah lots of them are a hoarder, i've seen vehicles driving only 2 times and both of them were admins... saw a bicycle too once but that was a normal player probably because a bike isn't "good enough" for an admin...

Hello, I am a [rabid] fan of Dayz, save one fact. ADMINS HOARD ALL THE BEST STUFF! I have been playing for a good while, and I have yet to see anything rarer than an Offroader. Where are all the vehicles that I spend days searching for? In the admins camp. EVERY TIME! Last time I found an Admin camp, there were five vehicles there! Minus the bus my team had and a random tractor, that was every vehicle in the server! So why is it that I can't seem to find any Motorbikes or ATVs? Is it that I'm looking in the wrong place, I'm unlucky, or every admin is a hoarder???

Remove the Huey and add in the Mi17 civilian chopper. It's big and slow with no means of defense. Perfect for DayZ. Someone mentioned vehicles with mounted guns shouldn't be in the game, I disagree. I would like to see UAZ's and HMMV's with 5.45 and 5.56 machine guns mounted. Not too powerful to OSK everything, but far better than scrounging around with Winchesters and Enfields.

A little about me in 19 from the USA and have played for about a month. I have exp driving vehicles and using snipers/ARs. I do prefer using ARs. I am looking for a group that knows how to communicate well under stress and would lick a new member.

What Happens if you dont save Vehicles or if you saved a Vehicle then moved the Vehicle or added items too it and did not resave it?

Ever occur to you that repairing and using vehicles is more of a group activity? Not saying you can't do it solo, but then you have to realize that its not safe.

I don't feel we need special zombies, they should all be about the same difficulty that they are now. But I do agree with the main point the OP has presented that will fix several issues in DayZ. Unlimited player sprint. 225km map? Had no idea it was that big, I can run across it in about 30 minutes. Limiting player sprint not only slows the game down for a lot of people, it increases the map size without changing anything on the map. It puts a gigantic value on vehicles, which are now only used as storage centers for helicopter farmers. Walking needs to be the primary means of getting around, not sprinting. The zombies should be no faster then player run speed. Sprint control allows them to catch up to the player. I'm not saying they need to literally walk everywhere, but the most they should be able to do is jog. If you wanted to stick with the 28 days later theme, make them run at player run speed. I don't understand how some of these zombies/infected run about a mile a minute. This will slow the zombies down a bit, which I believe will make their animations a bit smoother. The number of zombies present in the game needs to be increased about 100 fold. Packs should roam between the cities and through the forests. The major cities should be swarmed with them. You should not be able to fire a gun in the center of Cherno and just waltz out of town. That should be a death sentence. I am not against PvP whatsoever, but right now the experience is a bit far from authentic. Mainly because it is so easy to get away from the coast and get geared up. That should be extremely difficult, and it's a bit of a joke right now.

Flying vehicles does not take you out of the game. What do they run on? The raw joy of its crew? Nope. Fuel. Fuel which can be made more rare and require a greater effort of scrounging and scavenging for a group to be able to use them. Don't look at everything in this game from a solo survivor standpoint. The endgame should be groups working to use stuff like this. More flying vehicles please.

Okay let me try and dumb this down for you, since you obviously have no reading comprehension. I was the one duping AS50s there were 11 total and 4 of us took 1, ill let you do the math there. If there was 30 then the server was just creating them.(not likely) We never put AS50s on the bus, that bus was also from another camp so the items on there could have reappeared from when it was at the previous camp.(just like you said could happen) MAX NEVER HAD ANY SATCHEL CHARGES. EVER. ME AND RODDER HAD 4 EACH, THATS IT. As an admin you could have blown up the vehicles and restarted as many times as you needed to to get rid of the vehicles. You also so conveniently logged in at the same exact moment another player walked directly to our camp. Crying ? How am i crying ? All im stating is that you are making yourself out to be some incredibly righteous admin when you are being pretty sketchy to begin with. Just banning people that are driving around in a truck is absolutley ludicrous because you "think" it was one of ours. I am 100% positive if you hadn't died at our camp, you and your friend would have just stole the ural and used the guns for yourself. You could have handled the matter a whole lot better and you didnt. tl:dr administrate the server better.

My apologies for not reading the entire topic (it would take too long), but overall I enjoyed the OP. I like some of the ideas they proposed. I like the idea of additional game mechanics to make my game feel deeper (almost like playing NEO Scavenger), but my problem comes (like others have said) with people who are already in a group. Right now I play permanantly with one friend. We also have 2 to 3 others who join us periodically. We're already a set group, and would probably have little incentive to try and work with another random person in-game unless the game one day required us to form a town of 5/10/15+ people. For now and the forseeable future, we have all the people we need. The same can be said for all the other groups, bandit or friendly. So, would giving a deeper game experience improve gameplay? It would certainly be more fun for me, since my friends and I would have more to do than just run around collecting guns and looking for vehicles. Would it solve PvP? Not really. Groups will still be KoS. Sure. Some lone survivors might team up together to survive the harsher world, and many of them might even form lasting friendships. Then they'd be just another group, who once they had all the people they needed to survive, might be less accomodating to encounters with other strangers. The one good area the OP touched on was that there is no consequence for KoS. Right now you kos, and thats it. In a forest you don't agro zombies, and rarely agro other players. You win. Kos in a city you might agro a few zombies, but those are ridiculously easy to either kill or dodge right now if you know what you're doing. The only drawback is that you might also agro another survivor, and with a few zombies on your ass, it might be a bit tricky to stay alive. Except, if you're sniping in a tower somewhere, yeah you'll be fine. So tl:dr, despite the added depth I think some of the OP's ideas might bring to the overall game, I think we'll still have groups killing on sight, with poor frightened (friendly) survivors running around helpless and getting shot. Kinda like it is now.

Vehicles respawn only after being destroyed, server restart, or bugs really. That is because it is possible to save them by walking up beside them and scrolling to "Save ...". Vehicles are just a matter of luck most of the time. As for their quality, most vehicles need at least an engine, gas, and tire to get moving, but you can get lucky... or find a bicycle.

You will only find vehicles that need to be repaired but of course you can steal a vehicle from another player. Your vehicle and gear will be safed if you scroll your mousewheel and choose "Save xxx"

I explain you to DayZ beginner Tutorial in this Thread: 1. Where I find which Loot 2. Which is critical 3. As I find vehicles 4. Which for a DMG actually makes my weapon 5. Which keys are importantly thus come we to the first question: Loot such as meal, drinking, medicine, ammunition finds it? - Food gives it to natural in the supermarkets & buildings - Medizien such as Blootpags, morphines finds it in hospitals - bandages finds it in nearly all buildings - to ammunition can you in military places find and *allen* buildings most players use an assistance map on-line Link: http://dayzdb.com/map#3.113.081 finds to her everything here which it needs. Which is critical: As all first their as fast as possible food finds one in this play very fast dies there. 60 - it lasts 90 min usually depending upon situation to one again hungry [it blingt] as next tries their carefully ammunition + weapon to find around you the hordes/hurdles from Zombies to to resist. Afterwards you try to find a camp on to striking on the map Tent´s and. You with friends and denies the life in DayZ of stands connects is together for new players a good point of approach. there one finds small and large weapons and also very frequently to bandages, from which one cannot have enough at the beginning. the moreover the amount of that is there relatively small zombies. alternatively one looks for oneself a farm, which does not lie directly in village or close-to-the-city, since one finds axes and shotguns there. axes are particularly good against zombies, if one is in buildings. Where I find vehicles: Vehicles are like souls them are everywhere in the map it give scattered nevertheless a video you show where the best Spawns lie around vehicles to find. Link: The vehicles are extremely rare & can be captured by each player. Which for a damage makes my weapon: Each weapon makes another harms for this gives it a good list: Link: http://i.imgur.com/uyB7D.jpg where I find weapons to http://i.imgur.com/uyB7D.jpg Hand-held weapons: Military places, supermarkets, buildings large caliber/small calibers: Barracks, heli coil Crash simmering, fire-brigade The standard attitude is as follows: W, A, S, D: forward, backwards, since-walked left, since-walked on the right of Z: put down - (has put down on one mine to thumb-grope put) X: squat - (has squat on the SHIFT key put) C: rise SHIFTs: go running/(2x SHIFT: durable go running/) - (that put to switch between go and run on a thumb-groped, over not constantly one gropes to keep pressed to have) right-click: bilges and grain right-hold: zoom shot and air-stop left-click: shoot more enter at numpad: change to the external opinion (not on each server possible) caps: ingame voip (so far I white must one before the correct output channel select, in which one comma with and point-gropes the channel changes --> direct communication) minus-taste (not on numpad): more chatfenster open old-gropes: press-hold old around itself umzuschauen, without changing the direction of travel Much fun wishes DE 332/Waly
