for the majority of the ArmA 2 campaign, you have access to vehicles

Well, don't we have the most angry little tyke here. Also I hope you do realize Rodder already came clean on you guys so im not sure what the point of this was. And don't worry, when i get some spare time here at work ill check the current logs and ban you as well. Why was I logged out at your base? because i was checking the server logs. 7 as 50s? clearly you dont know your own camp then, the UARL itself had 21~ AS50's, and the bus i saw had i believe 10 more, it was well over a threshold of normal hoarders, as rodder already said only the 7, that you probably are talking about, were legit. Why didnt i destroy the vehicles? Because if you had been playing this game for more then a day you would realize that on server restart most vehicles that were destroyed will reappear back at the last location fully repaired with all its gear. The same happens with tents. The reports i got of a town being destroyed was cherno, maybe he meant elektro, i dont know, i dont care, it doesnt matter which, the important detail was that it was reported that half of the city was blown up, hospital firehouse, etc. And there were multiple bodies from Max, some of which still had satchel charges. Again, Rodder already verified the demolition. Lastly, why didn't the two guys on the atv shoot the truck? because they saw it hundreds of meters away and eventually lost track of it while trying to follow it. I don't know what the hell you're trying to accomplish here but shallow threats and crying will do you no good.

What a waste of a trap. I would have brought some of those vehicles to one of the main cities and blow out the tires. Find a nice place that you can the car and wait for the noobs to come along to find a fresh cup of death.

Knock on wood, so far no. We thought we log a bunch of stuff one day, but it was just the tent was at capacity and dumping the loot like 30m away on the ground.... I stumbled on it by accident and freaked out that someone else was at our camp and dumped their goods.... turns out it was just the tent's "dump" spot. I would agree that small groups get things and horde them. Once you have a working vehicle, getting more becomes much easier. First being able to travel quickly to the other vehicle spawns is a nice perk, also savaging for parts on foot is a huge PITA and hard since you need sooooo many open inventory slots to carry these items, opposed to having a car to get you to these places and then being able to load the found parts for the next vehicle inside your current one. We had a skoda for a while and with us getting other vehicles better suited for off-road travel we drove the Skoda down to the west-side of elektro with food, soda, a AKM, G17, med supplies, and survival gear and just left it for some lucky new spawning character.... you're welcome BTW.

It is not fake man. At first I thought it was a car in Dayz since I do not know every vehicles of the mod. Because otherwise, I would have never entered that car. I told you guys, it happened exactly as showed in this video and this is why it is so funny. Anyways, thanks for watching!

You wouldn't have to scam to sell items in DayZ. Me and my teammates have gathered a huge stash just over the last couple of days. We currently have 34 high tier primaries stashed in vehicles and tents, at least when I counted them yesterday (it's possible we have lost everything by now, of course). By "high tier" I'm referring to weapons that spawn at heli crash sites and the barracks, to make myself clear. We would've had even more if we hadn't been admin abused, for the record.

Teams definitely "hog all the stuff" which is why that's where you should look for vehicles, at player camps in remote areas. Northeast, northwest, at the dam. Of course, vehicles get stuck and crashed all the time so you will find them randomly in towns with shitty roads as well.

Just wondering, how many vehicles spawn on servers? can it be altered? Or do teams just hog all the stuff?

Ill start my reply off by identifying who i am and what i do. I am over watch for Rodders group of players and your story doesnt quite check out. 1.There was not 30 as50s there were 7. 2.We blew up Electo not Cherno 3.There was not 7 Bodies named Max. 7 people didnt die in town let alone die WITH satchel charges. Max died 2 times trying to get his gear back due to buggy rubble, and rodder died once to the same thing, 2+1=3 not 7. Nor were they all named max. Only Myself and Rodder placed Satchel charges and you have no idea what my name even is. 4.The satchel charges were not duped or exploited in any way. They were on the bus we stole from another camp and i promise you they just kept spawning on the bus. 5. Russian IPs ? You are braindead. Dont try to over-glorify a story to make us out to look like server crashing dickheads. We all already had everything in the game we needed and accidentally figured out how to dupe.So we decided to have fun with it. And just so you know just because "your server" gets checked for helis after every restart does not mean people cant server hop in fields to get loot from other servers. 17 NVGs and 7 AS50s is not a lot by any means if you know how to server hop for helis. Everything thing here is 100% bullshit. I shot 2 of you at camp. Not max, not rodder, not sparkys, me. You didnt see me because i was far from you guys and thats why i didnt get banned. We moved all of our vehicles after we killed you guys ramboing into our camp. And sabotaged the remaining stuff. You say you had people on atvs following these 2 random guys that were in trucks. Why wouldnt you just kill them ? You have an ATV they are in a truck, you could have easily killed them and looked to see if it was our vehicles. Oh and by the way i just logged in at our new camp to find that our Ural is gone. Im going to go ahead and look for it and then camp it out. Better hope i dont stumble upon it and find you, because you will lose your server if thats the case.

yeah, run the arma II by itself, or run it as operation arrowhead (better). they have nice drills for stuff like movement, shooting different arms, night vision, and even driving vehicles. they really help. you can calibrate your machine (video settings, key bindings, etc) too. i ran through these a couple times, and did key re-assignments, etc until i was totally comfortable with the setup. ;)

We have tents already but i'm here to suggest we have another method of storage. Crates. Yes.. crates. these would be useful as they could be stored in buildings also and may promote clans to start taking over and guarding buildings. (there are loads on the map that aren't used as loot spawns and it would be nice to occupy them). It would be nice if you could pick these up with the items still in them and moved around. Even put inside vehicles for extra storage or just put in the corner in a building. Little simple thing but would be a very nice addition to have :)

I have sat and watched unrepaired vehicles before as they are wonderful bait. Despite the large map, it's very possible to have people bump into you in the middle of nowhere. Nut up or shut up.

Sounds like you need someone to watch your back so that things like this don't happen... also, sounds like you need anger management. Getting killed is part of the game.. at least you see repairable vehicles.. I've been playing this game for a LONG time, and the only vehicles i see are the ones that are being driven by other people... Take a few deep breaths, and start again. It will be ok.

I dont think they should be removed from the game. They are anti material rifles and they can be used to take down vehicles or aircraft really good. I would like to see the feature of putting a second primary weapon in the backpack slot instead of a backpack. So you can quickly change your weapons in the fight.

We've gone from 9 vehicles to 2 in less than a day. Easy come - Easy go.

Me and my friends were on this server on Monday, July 16th @ around 12am Eastern timezone (GMT -5) We had just filled our ural and moved to a new campsite. We began looking for other vehicles and boats along the coast when i was killed in Berezino. My friends acquired most of my stuff but we were missing some crucial items so we headed back towards camp. Around this time the server admin began saying things in console chat. Saying things like "Lookout (insert name here) DayZ Dan and (my other friend) are closing in on your position!" Sure enough we came across the player in question 30 seconds later. We then came across two of the resident clan guys <AcG> jesus and <AcG> (forgot his name) and promptly killed the latter. The Jesus guy server hopped with low blood to escape. JUST AFTER we had done that, the server console said something like "Oh (guys name i forgot), you were my Morpheus". The console also said things like "Dayz Dan gave me the best night of my life last night" and other such things. IMPORTANT PART: We were almost back to where our camp was hidden, an amazing trek to undertake if you don't have any vehicle, not to mention how well hidden it was... (we own half the vehicles on the server) and suddenly shots were fired from a click away along the hills. We serpentine and duck for cover in several patches of pinetrees. We were all subsequently shot THROUGH pine trees while prone and still moving from at least a click away (the m107 sounded like machine guns but were at least 1000 away from the soft noise). Unknown how many guys were there, we had no visual. The suspicious part is our campsite had only been there for about 30 minutes, it was extremely remote, it was all too convenient that we had just killed some clan members and the server admin was viewing our locations through admin powers and we get sniped with near precision while changing directions through pine trees from a far distance away.... *edit* BOTH OUR CAMPSITES (COMPLETE OPOSITE ENDS OF THE MAP) WERE' SIMULTANEOUSLY RAIDED. aLL VEHICLES FROM BOTH SITES ALSO TAKEN.

US190 (1.7.1.5/93965) Veteran -- Hosted by Prox12 Gamers Den 6 of my guild (including myself) were just banned for "Hacking/Cheating." This is a baseless accusation and none of us are using any hacks or cheats. The ban was put in place by MrNaviPacho and supported by ExitWounds. The incident that I assume led to our ban is as follows. We had gathered the materials to repair the Ural that spawned in the Northwest of the map. We went down to Lopatino to refuel. After that, we headed to the Southeast to Pustoshka where we heard gunfire and two players died (Michael and someone with a clan tag). We turned off our lights and stopped 300-400 meters away, because we saw the lights of a vehicle ahead in the open field. There was a player standing next to a V3S Civilian with broken tires. All I could see was his legs behind the vehicle lit up by an off-road truck behind the V3S. I shot the legs out from under the player, killing Heavy (something like that). At this point, my squad goes up, loots the body of the player I killed and the V3S. In the loot was a L85A2 AWS. One of my squad picked it up and began scanning the area, spotting a player watching us from behind concealment. After being wounded by my squad member with the L85A2 AWS, that player logged off. We mounted up in the off-road truck and our Ural, and left the area to pick up one of our squad mates who just logged in to the server and spawned along the Southern coast. In the loot, we grabbed some awesome gear, several weapons, two range finders, etc. After picking up our squad member who had spawned along the coast, we went back North and parked our vehicles in the forest to sort out the loot. At this point, we were all kicked (Banned for Hacking/Cheating). Luckily, the clan that owns that server has a teamspeak: Two of my members logged on to talk to an admin there, who listened to our story and asked for our names so that he could unban us and speak to the admin who put the bans in place. The server was reset shortly afterwards, however we were still banned. At the same time, my two squad members were banned from their TS3 server (I understand that this is their private server and we're not seeking appeals for that). I would like to seek ban appeals for my following guild members (these are the names they were using when they were banned). Æos | Pander Beers [RUSE]Stealth Nathan [Æos]mfoxx [Æos] Duane Bryce Thank you

and yes i have all this cool stuff and if your going to ask how I will tell u I have 13 Vehicles and no job or life lol trade in your GF and if you played as much as me your could have all the stuff I do as well lol but take it from me keep the GF lol

I have also been having problems with server/character and/or Hive being out of sync. Yesterday i spawned as far NE as possible on DE238 looking for tents and vehicles, when i was getting low on food, drinks. I decided to walk to Krasnostav to raid the supermarket, along the way visiting the Olsha Radio tower to see if the bike was there and lucky me it was sitting there nice and crisp. So i biked my way to the supermarket to fill up on provisions with the eventual plan to go to berezino and put my DRM to good use by providing newby survivors with some fresh bullits ;) I waited about an hour before the first survivors showed themselves and i got some action, killed one and the other logged off XD nothing new so far. After waiting another half an hour with some zombies moving in the city i had to take a quick bio, so i logged off to the lobby for easy login. When i got back i was about 2 hours back in time in frikkin Krasno! Food and drinks meters werent reset but my bag was missing all the cans i put in there before, the DRM mag i emptied in Berezino was also back in there. Also behind the bush where i initially left the bike at the point where i was raiding the supermarket was no Bike! I stopped playing then because i was afraid of what i could loose next, i would hate to see any of my shiny goodies be lost only to some dumb server error. Other then getting honestly shot over them :P Is this some expanded Extra Cruelty after 7.2.3 that wasnt in the patch notes?

Rodder, Thanks for the explination. I don't really need to say anything further in regards to that then as I was right to assume foul play. To BlackOverlord and Vulture, what happend last night then was a case of the wrong place at the wrong time. What I can assume here is that while Rodder's group was spreading their vehicles out after I found their camp and shortly thereafter I banned them, you guys stumbled upon their vehicles loaded with the exploited gear. I had about 6 people on vent locating the vehicles when two of them on an ATV spotted you two in two of the trucks we knew to be Rodder's. At that point I assumed that I had missed a couple players and added you two to the ban list. Basically you two got caught standing over a dead body covered in blood holding a stolen gun so I acted with precaution until It could be sorted out. As soon as I can I will go ahead and unban the two of you and keep the rest still on the ban list.

My thoughts too.... Its one thing to get killed because you're sloppy or someone is just better than you, it is a whole other thing to lose your gear because you magically get logged out twice and sent to the ocean. We still have 5 vehicles at our "home base" and we know the names of at least two of the others who made it away.... so it should just be a matter of time before we catch up to them again. One thing I think would be really great (after this ordeal) is having something you can place on items, or "tag" items to be traced/tracked be your GPS..... like you leave loot that is "tagged" and then you can follow it via GPS .... end game would be to almost "bait" someone to leading you to their tent/vehicles where you can then loot them/recover lost or stolen items.

^ Idd. Kind of glad they removed them. The radar in the choppers shows vehicles if they are close enough if I'm not mistaken.

Damnit, I found an L85 at a crash site the other day, thought they had been removed and didnt work so I left it. There was a nameless item below it too, that added to me thinking I should just leave it there. I was wearing a ghillie at the time of the last major patch, it just dissapeared and Im back in civies now. The vehicles on most servers have been taken by clans and hidden away off map. Any that are left are usually snatched up quickly and hidden in the woods by other survivors. OP, if youve only been playing for a week, its really not unusual for you not to have found all of the rarest loot in the game. If it was possible for everyone to get that high tier gear right off the bat, the game would have zero longevity asside from pvp.

BEST ******* NIGHT EVER!!!! ------------------------------------------- Quick Version: In a 3 hour period, pantalga and I had this adventure: - find & loot crashed heli - loot factory (near Polana) - spot "Military OffRoad" vehicle... proceed to steal. - get into firefight with 3+ survivors - DOMINATE - Get brand new URL LOADED with gear (pics below) - Enjoy BEST NIGHT EVER in DayZ -------------------------------------------- Longer Version: All night, Pantalga and I wanted to find a vehicle. This was our goal and dictated our actions. Also, my role was sniper/recon (AS50 & M14) and Pantalga was designated loot-runner and heavy MG (M249). Anyway, we started near Gorka and decided to search it and its neighboring towns for a car. Striking out in Gorka, we head to Polana. As I'm checking the town, I notice a downed heli on the south-east side of Polana. Maneuvering around Mt. Dubina, I provide overwatch while Pantalga runs in and loots it (along with a random dead body he finds). Next stop is a factory not too far away. Again, I nestle down in the highest hill in the area, directly across from the factory. As I check due east, I notice a SWEET vehicle poorly hidden on a hill (http://dayzwiki.com/wiki/index.php?title=Military_Offroad). Pantalga and I snag it, and bring it close to the factory. Pantalga successfully raids the entire thing and dumps his loot into our new portable/drivable tent that has 120 slots . We begin to head back NW along the road through Polana toward a small gas station we noticed (due east of Gorka). We chose to drive through the woods of Mt Dubina and only after I ran ahead and scouted for bandits. After the all-clear, Pantalga moved in (sticking to the woods). Again, I provided overwatch and general zombie-watching while Pantalga made 5 trips to the gas pumps and back to the truck (thanks to our single jerry can). Just as he's returning and placing the full jerry can into the truck inventory, I hear Pantalga panic, shouting "Another truck! Another truck!" Whereas we had played things stealthy, sticking to the woods, some survivor rolled right into the gas station (with this thing http://dayzwiki.com/wiki/index.php?title=Ural_Civilian)and parked at the pump! In no time at all, Pantalga engages with his fully auto M249. With over 600 rounds of ammo, he holds nothing back. The Survivor bailed out of the driver door (opposite us) and ducks down behind the front wheel, keeping us from getting an easy shot on him. I inform Pantalga of the targets location and immediately press "f" to highlight ma 'nade. Just as I release the grenade (slightly overthrowing it) Pantalga yells "ANOTHER vehicle approaching!" and another vehicle rolls up (this one http://dayzwiki.com/wiki/images/f/f1/S1203_van.jpg) with 2 survivors. The van rolls to a stop just as my grenade explodes, which helps change the mind of the driver... he speeds off as fast as he can. Seconds later, Pantalga spots the feet of the lone/abandoned survivor and makes a critical shot. The man crumbles into view, giving Pantalga the angle he needed. Another 5 round burst, and the fight is over. During this skirmish, we used 2 M-14 DMR mags worth of ammo (40 rounds), 1 nade, and around 100 M249 rounds. It is worth noting that Pantalga shot out the front-right tire during the firefight. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR WHAT IS COMING UP (and it was so badass to watch that heavy truck shift its weight as the tire exploded). While the Driver of the truck is down, there are still 2 other unaccounted for. Will they return? Will the flee? There was no telling. We decide to pause a moment and take a look at the map, which provides us with HUGELY important information... the road that the van drove off on loops back directly BEHIND where we were! We could be flanked at any moment from the downward sloping hill to our 6. We decide to put eyes on all parts of the road close to us, so we choose a path through the woods due North of our location and make a bee line there. We inspect a large section of road but find nothing. Satisfied, we begin to return to our spoils (body + new truck). Just as we're coming into view of our Military truck, something in my head tells me there is something amiss... then I notice the Bright blue Ural was not where we had left it, but about 30m higher up a hill. Just as this is all clicking in my head, I see a survivor, not 50m in front of me, in plain view staring at our red truck. I panic and verify that this is not Pantalga, that we didn't get turned around somehow and he reassures me it's not. I let 3 shots fly and all 3 make contact. +1 murder. By this point, we are going nuts... the action is too much to take after so many hours of almost boredom. I run up to check his pack and about pee myself when I see the 3rd survivor 100m up the hill at my 12 oclock, lying prone with his eyes down his irons. I freeze, thanking God I'm in the ghillie... there's no other explanation for how he didn't see me. Anyway, he's also staring at our red truck, undoubtedly trying to surprise us as we return to our vehicles. He didn't even have time to react as the 7.62 DMR round broke through his glasses. Chalk another one up for me. We scan around and finally determine that we can finally breathe. We've just beat a random encounter somehow lucked into flanking an trap set at our original vehicle. Not only that, but Pantalga's accidental shooting of the Ural's tire had prevented the bandits from retrieving their vehicle and running. Talk about luck! But lady luck wasn't done with us yet... We immediately start digging through each player's inventory for goods, certain they will all be racing back to get revenge on us. The first 2 bodies have the usual... medical supplies, ammo, etc. The final body (the first kill, the Driver of the Ural) carried a little something special - Suppressed PP-19 + 4 mags, plus 3 blood bags, GPS, and Antibiotics. This was obviously the ring leader based on his gear. By now, we're giddy. And then I check the gear of the Ural and my jaw hits the floor. There's more stuff in there then I've ever seen at one time. Loads of guns, 11 blood bags, 10 cooked meat, 4 tires, 6 full jerry cans, the list goes on and on! We hit the mother load! That's why they wanted to evac the vehicle so bad, it was a collection of hours and hours of looting... and it is ours! But now we had to get it to safety. Plus, there's the issue with the blown out tires... oh wait! There's 4 in the inventory! We couldn't believe the luck. Once the car was in working order, we evac. We pick a route and do our best to quickly put some distance between us and that gas station. Pantalga drives the red mil vehicle and I handle big blue. Just as our heart rates are starting to slow to normal levels, we realize our problem... the city we're headed toward, the one we HAVE to go through, has zombies in it which means someone is in it! We decide to take the risk and blow through full throttle. Pushing 50, we do our best to weave through debris fields scattered along the road. We're not half way through the town when the shooting starts... rifle and small arms fire rains down on both of us. We count 3 or 4 distinct shots and hope there's no more ahead. Despite some hull and tire damage, we make it through the town unscathed. After all this excitement, we are simply worn out. We decide it's best to find a safe place to hide the vehicles and call it a night. Of course, we spent a few minutes taking the screenshots I link below. All in all, this was about as good as it gets in DayZ. Hope to see you guys in game soon! I uploaded some screenshots of the spoils! http://imageshack.us/g/10/arma2oa2012071601395797.jpg/

NVG's spawn in hangars, I was lucky enough to find a few tents and they had ghillie's. Saw plenty of vehicles.
