Thus the need to replace/repair so many parts. Come on, you find a car, you need engine, fuel tank, four wheels, and fix the hull fully... That's not a simple feat Now here is something interesting , I actually wouldn't mind having to go through the house, into a garage to check if something was there ;) To OP: problem isn't lack of vehicles, they're there, problem is few people hoarding them off the map, so you cannot get those vehicles

Ok first off, it was indeed a good fight, untill it seemed that no mater where we went on the map in pitch black, you tracked every one down that was online. that were 1000km from each other and killed them with 1 shot 12k health to -46k. hmm None of our vehicles got stolen as the wheels where shot out, untill we fixed the red car, which was driven 2500+km from the base that you attacked, yet you found us there within 30 min's, strange hmm. Then we all logged out, due to this and no one was kick. As we didn't no who shot us after the base fight. Our server is not posted as a none bandit server, this is what it say:. =|[uX]|= are a none Bandit squad. Our goal is to have fun with Zombie's and kill bandits, If you see us Plz state your Intentions. If your friendly your safe, If we feel threatened we will shoot, If you fire on us! expect us to return fire! Peace. So how have we lied here. :) You guys fired first when attacking our base. Your on our shoot on sight list. :) We are a anti cheat squad, all exploits we find on the game are reported, Every one i have banned on our server has been due to proof, which has only been 6 in the last 3 nealy 4 weeks, you spent most of the day today in and out of our server hopping, as you quoted above, this is a form of exploit, you are the first i have banned for hopping because i caught you doing this. as my server message says : Anyone caught quitting the game while under fire or server hopping will be banned or kicked from our server. This is a Exploit! I think i have justified my actions here, if told to unban you i will.

Title says it all. I found a bike but all 4 maintenance categories are orange and the thing barely moves. Can I go get a toolbox/ stuff to repair it, or does that only work for motor vehicles?

Well they could had a few more bikes, but only if that bicycle is nerfed, right now it's insane. Vehicles should be a rare find, although they should respawn (do they?), make it a very slow and random respawn though.

if they are hidden search for them, its not unavailable it is just not easy to get to. you have to work for and compete with other players for those rare things like vehicles. all part of game play just have the strength to walk into clan territory to get the car.

You need a tent or vehicle to store stuff, I think a tent can hold more than 50 items, not sure about vehicles. Also there are different backpacks, I think the biggest one is the Coyote Backpack, I coulnd't find any yet, but i did found a lot of Alice Pack which after Coyote Backpack I think it's the biggest one. i don't agree with the "safe zone", that would be a totally different game.

You didn't raid our camp, but [WAR] is coming for those vehicles to add to our collection. But it was our guys that were chasing you down.

I think they catch on fire if you haven't fixed them completely, you see the "status" of each part on the top left i believe when you get in a vehicle. In my opinion vehicles in the game are perfect the way they are. Also, one time I found a bus that didn't need repair, i thought someone had repaired it but on the chat people told me sometimes the vehicles spawn already fixed, not sure about this.

You forgot to mention one of the vehicles you are currently rolling around in was hacked in...

dear ladies and gentlemen, time of crime is between 17:00 and 20:00 german time . today is a sad day for my buddies and me. a couple of hours ago (LU160 Server) our camp (somewhere northwest map corner) was found, raided completly and nothing was left to use. we lost a VS3 civilian and a white offroad pickup truck. in addition to that we lost alot (and i mean ALOT) of equipment that where left in our tents. we are offering a certain amount of REWARDS (e.g. Mk48 Night Vision googles, svd camo etc....) to ppl supporting us in the investigation with supplying us with hints(eg vehicles spottet with directions ) leading the "bandits" responsible for it. WANTED DEAD OR ALIVE

When you call yourself a bandit, and all you do is kill other players... you're not a real bandit. A real bandit robs other players, and leaves them stranded with nothing. A real bandit takes hostages and trades them for gear/vehicles. A real bandit OWNS his victims, not just figuratively, but literally. So to all you REAL bandits out there, I salute you.

There is no way choppers are enabled on new servers I can guarantee that. I play the same server every day, I have had like 15 different vehicles on that server been to every spawn, raided more camps then I can tell you and I have never seen a helicopter. I could be proved wrong but I'm sure I would have seen one, or at the very least one of them flying.

disagree with both points. In this scenario the vehicles would mostly be rusted / unkept after sitting for so long without maintenance and im assuming this game takes place atleast a few months after infection first takes place. If anything the vehicles as they stand should require more maintenance more often instead of running perfectly forever unless you are stupid enough to drive offroad.

I wish vehicles were more common. Its unrealistic how rare they are. Even in a zombie apocolypse there would be plenty of working cars left behind. Other then cars, there would also be even a ton of bicycles. Everyone owns a bike. I have like 5 in my garage. It would make the game a lot funner if everyone could get their hands on a vehicle at least a few times. I got to ride a bike for about 50 feet then it fell over. Vehicles are way too hard to repair for a single person to do.

about the choppers and vehicles in general, if a server has vehicles enabeled, is there always a chopper on that server?

I wish I would have had a map, if I had realized you could go off map I'd never of gone west and just stuck to in the box, unfortunately though, my bike plus someone else's white truck are probably lost forever. Is there a bigger map for arma 2? I tried to look to see if I could get some terrain association but it seems the arma 2 map is exactly the same size. I hope Rocket cuts the map, I typically don't like artificial boundries but that's just crazy. I wonder how many vehicles are sitting out of bounds lost and broken cause of stupid mistakes like mine.

There is no reason at all why other engines cant do a map the size of ARMA 2s. Most games dont do maps that big, mostly because the games arent being made for a map that big. UE3 or CryEngine 3 could do all the things ARMA2 does just fine. The one benefit of using ARMA2 while DayZ is a mod, is it offers a ton of weapons, vehicles, bullet physics, and huge maps right off the bat. These arent things Rocket or someone else would have to make, its already in the game. That being said, if you are making everything from scratch, UE3 or CryEngine 3 would be a better choice. Sure, it would take longer, you couldnt just port everything over, but they are just much more polished engines. They run fantastic, look fantastic, and (at least for UE3, dont know much about CE3) are very easy to use to build any type of game you want. Look at all the games using UE3, from MMOs to shooters, RPGs to strategy games, hell, even a free running game (Mirrors Edge). In short, ARMA2 is probably the best thing for DayZ right now, but in the long run, other engines have more potential.

Tis what I do. If your camp gets raided, it's a sign you didn't hide it good enough and you deserve to lose it. No "friendly" is going to have all those weapons in my experience with this game, and I guarantee they are being used for PKing purposes, IE: Bandits and well... destroying tents is a solid part of banditry. Do onto others as they would do onto you. I can't tell you how many tents I've raided, and destroyed when I was finished. As well as taking vehicles I didn't need, and destroying them so they'd respawn for someone else to find. When I find a vehicle hoarders camp with 3 or more vehicles there, I have a fucking field day. Especially if I find grenades in their vehicles. I'll destroy them all and leave typically the worst of them still standing, with some blown out tires of course and I'll put a .50 round into the engine, not to break it fully, but just so it's pretty much fully red. I HATE vehicle hoarders. 1 or 2? Fine. The whole god damn server worth of vehicles? Pray I don't find your shit.

Having the radar on heli is way to much as its easy to spot all vehicles etc... Please consider disabeling the radar ( or replacing the whole heli with some civilian one )

Me and a couple friends were having some intense battles with the owners of the server and their clan. We managed to steal one of their vehicles full of loot and get away to our base with it, but my mate who killed the guy and got the truck was subsequently kicked. - As well as this, they frequently post about being a non-bandit server, and not attacking anyone who is not threatening, yet I drive down a road (in a vehicle we DID NOT steal) and about 6 of them try to gun us down. After this happened we decided to move our base to another server due to the what we see as admin abuse and lieing to the rest of the community. So we had to sacrifice our 6 vehicles, but as i was transferring loot, i was banned for "server hopping" - I thought since the latest update meaning loot wont spawn near you when you log in that "server hopping" made no difference? If it still is then fair enough with the ban and im sorry, but I am pretty sure that it is not Thanks for the time guys MG

Well as i mentioned to someone before, offensive is probably the wrong word, sensitive. Seeing as peeps from all ages are being massacred in horrific ways, wouldnt be suprised if someone whos been affected browses these forums. I guess its like along the same lines of saying, "holocaust, of course, was a terrible event, but look at them fucking Panzers bruuuv!!" I think it could be seen as offensive just cuz a very upsetting issue was slightly brought to the surface for the sake of saying, look at these amazing vehicles!!! But again, i do stand by it, cuz i am well read into it, and i didnt wanna just paste up pics of every other apocalypse film that peeps have seen.

true, true, but on the other hand, that could also make it so that you wouldn't be able to loot the car either, meaning you'd be blowing up a load of stuff. Ofc, still, if you think like "if we can't have it, noone can!" then it will be that way. I generally love vehicles in the game now, since our clan started acquiering a few, and wish we could hide our babies better =P

Findings vehicles and player camps are what keeps me going in DayZ. Otherwise, I'd be pretty bored up North.

Server Restarts remove vehicles and other items?

lol what a waste of ammo. you know those vehicles will just come back full health in the same place after a server restart right? and what a bunch of retards, stashing the vehicles off map so noone can have them, getting bored and trying to blow them up. go park them cherno or do something usefull with them.
