So I'm at camp and I'm moving shit around between vehicles. I take both my two L58A2 AWS's [one as primary, one in backpack] and I'm about to put them in the URAL when the game kicks me off the server... So I hop back on and.... SURPRISE... DUNN DUNN DUNNN. They're gone :D! Luckily we have two more. MORALE OF THE STORY: Never love the AWS Edit: I AM SO FUCKING PISSED RIGHT NOW

Hey guys dave here. I want to start a new dayz group. we would be a scavging team a group of survivors although bandits are welcome. THE REQUIERMENTS #1 age must be between 12-16 (we can change this or make an aception). #2 must live in europe becouse of time issues #3 just so you know we do accept newbies. we wil try and equip you but our supplies are limted we will find your gear. XD #4 must have skype and a mic. i prefure to speak in skype rather than teamspeak. #5 as i have said above we do not mind if you are a bandit or a survivor. We do not accept betrayl what-so-ever! if you turn around and shoot your friend in the face. we will find you. Our team will begin when we have a few more players. we should meet up then go on our first raid. targting food drink, and yes. Tents. it will take us time to build our camp. becouse we have to consider conselement, accsesabilty, and protection. but we will most likly be in a forrest someweare. hidden by bushes. i aim to have few vehicles but they would be able to carry lots of the group. say 4 to a vehicle. thank you for reading. D. EDIT: our team: we have two great survivors who know the map like the back of there hands. I am happy to know them and for them to be apart of our team. we have a bandit who has joined up but we have yet to play with him. we also have another suvivore who is brilliant at looting, and a good team player. D. 2nd EDIT: thanks to you guys and your requests our team is getting better by the day. little bit of info: theres been no betrayles. unforchantly we have not come up with a base camp but are working towards that goal.

I have noticed that sometimes when server is updated etc/ restarted your vehicles and tents may disappear until next server restart. Happened 2 times to me :)

Alt-f4'ing gives you a massive advantage too, server hopping give you a advantage, reloging to refill magazines gave you a great advantage, hacking gives you a great advantage, running the incorrect Dayz files gives you a advantage, hoarding vehicles outside the map gave you a massive advantage, playing on the lowest possible graphics settings gives you an advantage. BUUUUUUHHHHTTT, doesn't mean I can recommend doing it (any of it). And to anyone thinking about the "well everyone else is doing it"...did your mother not teach you, that just because everyone else is jumping off a bridge, doesn't mean you should do it too. Also I would like to make it clear, that I do not mind VoIP in any other game, but in DayZ it just feels wrong. But still, it is all personal preference... I suppose.

Haha CE3 can hide from this. More stances, freelook controls, realistic balistics, vehicles run on GASOLINE not air. Not to mention the big 300 sqkm map. Sure CE3 looks good, its fine for some quick arcade fps fun. Also crysis 1 or far cry maps are NOT as big as chernarus. Sure if you put it all together but you can't have it all at once.

Yo Yo, Good to see survivors joining forces, some form of signal(green smoke/red smoke) when approaching the fort could be a means of not getting yourself shot, although these things are not always at hand to use. I'll be on tonight to try and lend a hand. Also possibly setting up small scavenger parties to go out and find vehicles/ parts could be something maybe to look into. Lets make this a fully functioning safe haven. See you out there! D-Etnie

I would be willing to try most everything. The only things I don't really like are; -Infection in cities, I think this is just uneeded. You could simply have a chance of catching the Flu after being hit by a Zombie rather than from just being in a certain area. -Antibiotics should have a chance to spawn in residential areas. It would be a much smaller chance than a hospital but would still make sense. They could also spawn in military medical areas. -Setting Bones is a bit to much but I like the idea of a Splint. Legs and Arms can break, if your legs break you can't Walk/Jog/Sprint but taking morphine allows you to Walk/Jog on it for a short period of time. If your arm is broken you can't use your primary weapon, using morphine allows you to do so for a short time. You would need another player to apply a splint to you. -There shouldn't be any time needed for the healing or curing sickness, applying the split should be instant. Making items more rare would add the need for co-op while not causing annoyances of not being able to really play for a full day. You would either have to get someone to give you items or get them to go get the things you need if you didn't have any. -Zombies spawning naturally in the wilderness should be extremely rare. If a player shoots a gun and zombies hear it they should go to where it came from then just wander around at that location. This could cause zombies to slowly move out of populated areas just from players shooting zombies on the edge/outside of town and cities. Player Vs Player combat outside the city could also draw them out. If zombies see a vehicles they should try and chase it until it is out of sight. So if a helicopter flies over a city tons of zombies would chase it out of town for a ways before losing interest. Other than that I really like the ideas. I would be willing to try it, I would enjoy the game being more realistic and have less pointless killing. I would also add. -All items should spawn far less often, I kinda hate that currently I'm not even trying to survive anymore. I always find food and soda, I really don't ever have to use my canteen and I only hunt animals to refill my blood. I found a URAL with like 10 - 15 weapons, a plethora of ammo and supplies, sure this was probably like winning the lottery but still, it happened 3 days into my DayZ career. Please do the world a favor, go to the nearest kitchen, open the cupboard under the sink and drink everything you find.

All i see is hackers. You cant go on a populated server w/o having jets napalm you or crazy vehicles spawn. Got turned into a rabbit once. True story

First off I would like to say that I've tried looking in the dayZ wiki and such but couldn't find confirmation on this but here goes... What are the stats for the V3S Civillian truck. Are they the same as the URAL? To be more specific I'm talking about this vehicle - http://dayzwiki.com/...le=V3S_Civilian Anyone able to confirm the stats on this vehicle would be a great help, and while we're at it, if you know the stats of any other vehicles that are unconfirmed on the wiki, let it be known here! TL;DR V3S Civillian truck storage stats? Cheerz, Zen

Okay, While replying to another post I thought we should be able to find EXTRAS for vehicles. Cars: Muffler- Reduces car noise Windscreen Wipers- (Make it hard to see while raining?) Keeps rain off the windshield. Spotlights- Better Visibility at night Helicopters: Search light- Can operate a light to scan the ground. Ladder- (Not sure if possible with ARMA II engine XD) Drop a ladder so people can climb up. I am aware that these ideas a far-fetched, but forgive me, I'm bored.

Whats worse is that serveradmins cant see names on the ppl doing this if they dont happed to kill "it". We are having big trouble on our server with invis hackers teleporting to vehicles and drive away with them.

we had 3 massive camps raided last night be 3 people. and even though we shot 2 of them they managed to get back from the coast and continue raiding us within minutes... all our vehicles went. and 2 of them were AMAZINGLY well hidden away from camp I call B/s

he wasn't saying for choppers to spawn in woods, he was more on the lines of land vehicles. I am for it.

overquoting is intentionalfor easier navigation Not crucial for now, but I'd be glad to see this feature, espacially if it will be visual too. No sir, not little more diversity. We need a scary freaking lots of diversity and randomness here. We need very big system to build character appearance so that there will be almost no chance to meet two character alike. That will be totally awesome. But knowing the amount of work it will require, knowing how DayZ is developed, I don't think it's realistic to wait for this feature in the next year or two :( Yes, this is willbe the most outstanding feature! Revolutionary. I really hope it will be in DayZ. Isung those gigantic tents to store loot. Dammit, rediculous. In real life you just wrap you stuff in a bag and put it under a log. C'mon, we need at least shovel with a pit to store loot. Defifnitely for it. This feature is about the game engine. Arma2 is not having it. But VBS (which is the base of Arma2) has it already. I can find a video of a soldier blon on mine with his leg flying away if you need. Zombie animations and speed are planned to be revized and optimized. Confirmed. Not sure of slowing them down for their bigger number. But they'll get more "realistic". See 5) It's a matter of time for dev to fix it. But I'm afraid it won't be dealt with until major serve\login\hacking isssues are addressed. It's coming in I guess in half a year from now at best. This is the server difficulty tweaks, but they are not aalowed by DayZ. It only showes the highest arc point of your throw trajectory, not the place where it will precisely land. You can't guess it in real life as well, do you? Minor issue. May be in long term development such subtleties will be added. This idea is spaammed countlessly around the forums. Dev are aware and taking measures. But not unitl ... see 7) for ETA. I don't think Rocket will add thermal imaging in the game. It's too combat\military. But who knows. Very interesitng idea. I'd vote for that. Good point. The social and grouping features are promised to come with standalone DayZ game at the end of the year. They are very numerous if you look more attentively. But most of them are ruined beyond repair. In a postapocalyptic scenario without proper engineering\factory infrastructure you cant seriously think that vahicles will survive at all. As far as crisi continues, vehicles will extinct. Hmm.. duplicate. See 3) YEAH! I can build a deadly trap with a few branches and a rope. It will be triggered when someone walks on the rope and be peirced with sharpened branches. There are plenty of recipies of them on the internet, where you can build one using only your rope and a knife.

The problem is the maps documenting the vehicle spawn locations ! All in All with the removal of helicopters at the moment there isnt a massive amount of vehicles to find considering the typical server hold 50 odd people. We all know where to look for the vehicles just like you did !. If you have a bunch of regulars on your server (clan, guild W/e) it's pretty much a given that they have a majority of the vehicles held in alternate locations. Here's hoping we get more vehicles in more random locations soon™ keep looking and you will fine one :/

Vehicles only respawn if they are destroyed, so in order to find a new vehicle, you would have to find the camps of the servers, destroy all the hoarded cars there, and then they will respawn after 7 days (no idea if that number is true, just read that somewhere)

What was the endgame for this film? There isn't one, sure the film has an ending (which I won't spoil, but I assume anyone that plays this mod has seen this film which is pretty much dayZ without the zeds). The goal is to simply survive, well - as it stands that is the goal. Sure, there are things that you have not yet experienced, such as vehicles. but at the end of the day, with it being a sandbox scenario you make of it what you want. For some it is just a personal challenge to survive for as long as possible, for others they enjoy the chase, finding the loot, others simply just like to sit out in the woods with camp fires. I'm up for the being some new ultra rare items, what they would be I'm not too sure but something that when you find it, you feel like you are that little bit more unique compared to everyone else, maybe it could be attire based, maybe it could be a kevlar vest, something that adds a function that makes you that bit harder to kill. Hell. Maybe there is an antidote for the infected out there, somewhere... and you need to find it. Maybe it could be something as simple as the perfect weapon to take out zombies. I don't know exactly, but I wouldn't expect there to be a genuine 'endgame', ever. Perhaps stand-a-lone will introduce some that some will see as the endgame, but in an open world environment such as this, you can't add an end to someone's character because not everyone wants that. When I played Fallout : New Vegas, I exhausted the main quest and didn't spend any time doing side quests, when I finished the main quest I felt like the game has over so I didn't bother playing it anymore. If you add an endgame, people will achieve it then move on to a new game - but a game with potentially unlimited replay value will last for ever. I play CS:S mainly, that is where my online gaming stems from since I was 11 years old. I still play CS to this day, 11 years on. Sure, I've had been off it for alot of time too, but it still has my attention, that is partly because I still feel like I haven't reached my full potential, but also because there is no end game - Well, there is that is to be in a top team and win a large LAN event, but that's not an endgame, that's an accomplishment and I probably will never experience that because I fall just short of the required level of skill to achieve it. The point is, not all games need to have an endgame, especially not multi-player games.

Yeah lost two vehicles and lot of friends died but I alt f4ed in time to keep my NVG and Bison SD :D

As you can probably guess, I am a member of the JTF2 clan, in the US84 server. Today, something very fortunate happened to us. If the person that did this to us some how is reading this, then please respond. If you aren't, then it's a story worth hearing... There are usually 4 of us on the server, and today we decided to make a barracks run. Since we have a camp of 9 tents, a car, and a recently found civilian Urel (It's a big truck if you don't know), we are pretty set and ready for almost anything... almost. Any ways, The four of us, including myself, are at the airfield and need to cross the paved strip in the middle. Because we're not retarded, we scan the entire airfield for people, and hope to see nothing. Unfortunately we spot a player riding a dirt bike across the strip and we're deciding what to do about it. Out of fucking nowhere the deafeningly loud screech of gunshots burst out. At first I though one of my friends were shooting at him, but I was mistaken. I realise the piercing sound of sonic speed bullets are actually coming at us. The shooting was coming somewhere from our right on a slight hill, and close. Two of my friends die instantly, and I start shooting back with everything I have. I fired off my M4 A1 Holo with grenade launcher into the general direction that they were. I also fire A HE grenade, but it still wasn't enough to deter our attackers, and I blacked out from being hit. When I came to, I ran. I can't explain how, but I made it out alive. How I managed to emerge from the fire and death is still a mystery to me. Even as I was running, the crack of bullets were all around me. After a lot of running, I finally make it back to the camp, safe and sound. My third friend actually made out alive, and completely untouched! After the incident, he got lost, and was killed by a random sniper in the middle of nowhere. Because we have vehicles and many tents, achieving our same status as before is easy. All one needs to do is find the camp again, and take anything you want from the tents (which is a lot). eventually all our members are back at camp and we share our stories around the camp fire. I know what your thinking, "that's not so bad! You still got all your stuff". Your right, that was the least of our worries. While sharing our storing, we decide that we need to find sandbags or something to use as cover at our base. Suddenly bullets strike me and all my friends, literally all at once, and before you can even say "what?". Then I'm starring at a screen that says "You are dead", along ALL the clan members. All of our time on Dayz had been used to achieve what we had then. Our shooter could now do what ever he pleased with our camp and vehicles, now that we are slain. Sorry to make such a large wall of text, but this was very tragic for us. Some of our members are taking a long, long brake from Dayz. Spawning at the shore, I decide to try and find my way back to camp, and see what's possibly left. On my where there, a vehicle slams into my back, and I'm instantly killed. I believe it was the car from our camp....

Cheaters! They have any stuff they want in 5 minutes, they have maphacks that show all players, vehicles and maybe tents on the map. They can spawn vehicles, tanks, helicopters and tactical bombers with nuclears missiles, they can become almost invulnerable (shoot head or neck), they can aimbot you, they can instantly teleport for 200m in 1 second. They can break legs to the whole server, kill everyone or give anyone AS50 with heatsensor. They don't care about their gear, they are "hunters" and we are "prey". They can spawn anything they want and go kill the whole clan in it's camp, they like to hoard all the vehicles from the map in 1 specific place. But they'll get banned sooner or later. They'll pay 10$ again and again, untill get tired of this gameplay and quit. The second category is much meaner and more dangerous: Seasoned clan members buy 1 account for cheating, use it for 3-5 days to track vehicles, clans and maybe tents on all EU/DE/UK/RU/LU/SE/US/../FR servers, spawn and dupe any weapons they want and then fight "fairly" against other clans/squads, but one hacker in their team can have maphack turned on to show all disposition of the enemy. One account gets banned in the same 3-7 days, but they buy a new one for the entertainment. Both categories almost don't care about loosing their gear, thy don't need anything from killed players and the penalty for death is only 10-30 minutes until they are picked up by their clanmembers. Shoot on sight? Sire, debug monitor shows player and bandits killed, so the more you have on your counter, the "cooler" you are. So violence brings only violence, eightfold killed n00b will kill any1 on sight after 9th respawn. So di I. I was a cheater. I spawned ammoboxes with all the stuff I needed, I used maphacks, teleports and spawned vehicles to hunt other cheaters that hunted me when I was helpless or simple players when I wanted to train myself with specific weapons. I got banned in the first wave back in June, and now I play without any cheats. But the core of community is crippled already: no penalty for being a murderous bastard, no global chat to warn people about a camper near Devil's Castle or even carma penalty in your debug monitor.

Unfortunate but dont shed any tears over it, that's DayZ in a nutshell for you. Nice accomplishment but things in the game are never permanent, with the wash of new players turning into veterans now they all start looking for camps, mostly for vehicles because the hardcore playing crowd annoyingly hoard them like gold. Don't despair because of this and if you are a true DayZ fan then the next morning you wake up you'll be heading north again starting over.

The problem with that is that the first person to join the server is the person that gets to accept the mission. Either way, I also haven't had any issues with missing tents or vehicles since I started using the #shutdown command. In fact, the problems we do sometimes have (which I think are common) are that the tents sometimes reappear fully stocked, even after flattening, and the vehicles sometimes reappear in full condition, even after being destroyed.

we had this aswell with tents and vehicles disapearing. what you have to do is the following. log in to your admin control panel and simply use the restart button. when the server comes back up connect to it. once your in the lobby DO NOT click the ok button. let the timeout counter in the top right corner run all the way to zero and then the server will auto load onto the next screen itself. once you are there all should be fine and you can click continue in the bottom right. we had several failed restarts but since we have been doing it the way i said above we have never lost a tent or vehicle to a restart. its as if that you have to let the timeout run all they way down and let it load its self or else it doesnt fully load everything onto the server. atleast this method has been working for us.

Since some vehicles require parts to repair.... why the hell not?! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9eQvSFe6X7c&feature=player_detailpage#t=45s note: May require a Lada parts....

I remember when the Irish or Scottish fellow was on the TS on one particular day. To clear things up this is the account that I recall. Basically, Tod was joking around with him and I at the time assumed he was new (like me) and wasn't accustomed to the joking and friendly poking that goes on in the clan. He didn't laugh back or respond with disdain. He just didn't seem to like the joking around and kind of muttered in response. We all laugh at each other and give each other crap for the mistakes we've made. Some of us can't drive for shit for example and go through vehicles like I go through fruit rollups (those damn things are amazing). At times I think clan members humor is a bit retarded, but I just don't laugh and say nothing. Other times I think these guys are hilarious. Regardless, we have fun. We laugh. We joke. We goof off. We do Ops as friends and mess around. Other times we go into Ops seriously and maintain mic silence. We're here to have fun like everyone else. Honestly, I think the guy from what I can tell just took Sean Connery jokes too seriously. After that I don't recall him ever playing with us or being on the TS. That I can remember. People shouldn't get pissed off because of one joke that may or may not have been funny. As for members, a lot of us work pretty hard in this game. I for one spend 12 hours a day looting helicopters, scowering the wilderness for vehicles and camps. Along with Salgor as we lead Charlie Squad (Supply). It's what we enjoy doing in the game. Others have squads for combat (sniper squads, assault squads, etc). Some of us take things more seriously, others love to joke around and goof off. Everyone is different. But regardless, there are no douche bags in this clan, that I'm aware of. There will always be people that steal stuff, spies and what not and people that jack others stuff. If they get caught, they'll be removed. The clan doesn't screw around when it comes to being a douche bag: stealing, ghosting, combat logging, griefing, etc.
