Hey people! On New York 2 server, me and my buddies had a buttload of vehicles/guns. We were planning on switching servers to a more stable one. Our camp was then looted( ). Thankfully the server reset and we got everything back (They forgot to save the cars they stole) except the helicopter. In any case, we decided to do something nice for the coast players on NY2. We filled up the 2 city buses we had with all the guns our camp had (mp5s, m16s, m1014's) and took it to the coast to give away free guns.Enjoy the video! P.S. I didn't add music, but feel free to put whatever party-bus music you want in the background while watching it lol. Also, check out the rest of the videos on my channel (Recent ones are Day Z related). :P I RECOMMEND WATCHING ALL VIDEOS ON MY CHANNEL IN 720P HD! Involved People: S6! Acebane S6! Slaieth Famine(AKA S6! Kertus) and many other coast-players that night Discussion points: 1.Are you as surprised as we are that we didn't get shot? 2.Would you have ambushed the loot bus and took it's goodies? 3.Should there be more loot-bus action? Side Question: Does anyone know any servers that have a decent sized clan active on it? We're looking for a server with conflict and competition.

You are correct in that there really is no end game and no goal. I make my own goals. My new pasttime is as a car thief! I find the hoarded vehicles and steal them along with all the supplies from the camp that I can pack into the truck. I then drive to the coast (usually from way up north) and then park the truck near the beach full of goodies. I shoot out the tires so it can't go anywhere without extensive repeairs. Free stuff for noobs and the recently respawned! Just open the cargo "gear" and take what you need.

I'm a console gamer so I don't know anyone who plays PC games. I want to make or join a little group so we can help protect each others beans and perhaps repair a few vehicles. I'm 20 and from the south west, my steam account is BaconSizzlers. As I mentioned above I'm new to PC gaming so if you have any preferences voice chat software I'm open.

What can you get up there that isn't available at either the other airfields or in the spawns of military vehicles/helicopters around the map?

LOL :beans: Dolph I'll see you in TS then. I got the logo to work in vehicles and so far works on all I have been in game :thumbsup: . You just have to be in the vehicle.

While I agree that vehicles are rare and fragile enough to not really need any more balancing, this would be a really neat addition. I'd certainly keep spare tires in the vehicle though.

Most guns in the game beat up cars and the people inside of them up big time as it is. Add to that that you can hear a car from far away and that they are far more visible, less flexible and very fragile (hit a tire, the engine or the driver) I don't see how vehicles can be so much of a threat to you. Long before they can even see you, you can hide or prepare to ambush them.

DayZ Online, hell yeah I'd pay to play that. They should make a leveling system eg. -10000 humanity = Bandit, -50000 humanity = Serial Killer, -100000 = Hunter etc. Other classes could be Vigilante, Zombie Hunter, Rescuer etc. of course even maxing out your class still makes you weak enough so that zombies can rush you down and kill you. Also make the game world heaps bigger, like 1,000 square km with multiple towns and cities. Players still drop everything on death and have to start again. Also make it so that some towns can be rid of zombies and settled by players making village communities of survivors helping each other survive. Eg. during the day people have to collect supplies and build up the town and at night they have to defend the place. And make a clan system where bandits and survivors can form groups and more communities. This game world would be like a Mad Max set in zombie apocalypse where say 30 survivors have slowly built up a town meanwhile a gang of bandits 40 strong armed with heavy weapons and vehicles try to capture the town and kill all the survivors. If players die they become zombies so the zombie population is constantly growing as well as respawning daily. And make it so that humans can get infected by the virus and slowly become zombies. The virus can be cured but takes a lot of effort and can put the village communities at risk. Imagine 1 person in the village getting the disease and either being silent about it and slowly passing it on to the rest of the village OR getting found out and either killed or cast into exile or given expensive medical treatment. Add in a barter system that does not use money but rather goods and you would have the world's most immersive MMO ever made. The possibilities are damn endless. Think Mad Max meets The Postman meets Fallout meets Left 4 Dead. Come on devs, you know you want this and so do we!

The guy who is streaming is getting the help of a guy by the name of "cupin amurica" or something along the lines of that. http://www.twitch.tv/PsiSyndicate (Note Not The Streamer, cupin amurica) He is continuously spawning different vehicles and weapons.

lone players? 80% Clans with vehicles to protect, not so much, but I have had the server admin's clan bounce the whole server before mid fight a couple of times. le sigh.

Hoarding? How else am I going to gather enough vehicles to have a proper parade thru Cherno? :P

Its a good point the OP has raised. The aircraft side of this needs some work. I believe de-sync issues are to blame at the moment. There are some things that would be interesting in here though.. MI-8, has 3 guns but is an unweildy beast and not a massive threat to ground troops. could be used to airlift vehicles? AN2 is a small light aircraft designed for rugged airfields, slow and unarmed but would be alot of fun and can land on any field you like. Maybe MV22 should be the rarest and most sought after aircraft, basically a plane but can land vertically in small camp clearings. thoughts?

This :) My clan has nightmares moving camps and hiding vehicles. Hell, the last time we went looking for a new camp site we stumbles across 3-4 other camp sites, 2 of them large enough to be clan sites. ... Needless to say we looted them mercilessly.

We seem to be having a LOT of sync issues with riders on vehicles. Originally thought it was one person in particular, but then it seemed to be with those of us on the 4 wheelers. We have 3, 4 wheelers. At times, I would be a couple of gridsquares away, while my passenger, and the ppl on the two other ATVs would still see me sitting in front of them. Then my passenger would rubberband back to me. This was happening to multiple passengers on the other ATVs as well... so it wasnt limited to one persons connection. My uneducated guess is that it is a sync issue with the hive.

It was on a Clan server, by black lake in the cove. Had barb wire surrounding the place with one opening. Had about 5 vehicles, with 40+tents... they duped the shinanigons out of them but I made work of them. Pretty cool set up, but I ended up killing half their clan that Day raiding them. Its a good spot, but the spot is now been given away, and too many server hoppers.

So, I play with a group of about 6 friends, our normal server we play on is down so we try a different one. Nothing streange, we carrry on like everything is normal. First day on our new server goes well, we find decent supplies and weapons, couldn't be happier. So, the next day one of the members of our group finds a clans stash of vehicles, he takes thier heavily equppied Ural truck and makes his way to Kabanino before an alpha glitch nearly kills him due to debris not loading for him. He's from AUS playing on a US server so it's understandable that it happens. The truck is totaled and he is saved, Fortunatley, the rest of he group were in a bus and were heading towards him. there were ATV's and cars there, so we went to the spot to take what we could. Turns out they have a ouple of tents well hidden. We raid them as best as we could, one of our members went to an ATV to bring it to us and BOOM! She blows up. We assumed she was a bad driver and we continue on our looting. Shortly afterwards, our newest member in the group while looting one of the tents blows up as well. We are worried now, while he was separated a bit from the group we heard nothing up until the giant explosion. Pin point accuracy grenades possibly, or pipebombs as there was some spotted on the truck that blew up. So we go prone and try to pinpoint who is shooting us with the M203 as that could possible be the only explaination at the time. Sure enough, we were reduced to 4 people looking around, while 3 of us were somewhat close together the fourth of our group was about 100m ahead of us. In clear view the last we saw of him was the smoke of the explosion around him. Since we saw nothing except the explosion we think hacker. We've run into a few hackers before, most just respawn after we've killed them about 20 seconds before we shot them. We log off, something isn't quite right. We are aware that it's bad to log off but from where we were, there was o excuse that no one heard any thing else but explosions. About 20 mins after we've calmed down, I log in myself because the first 2 that were killed were both banned/kicked from the server. I thought I would see for myself if I would die while back in that spot or be banned because we raided the admins camp, as that could have been a possibility, After about 30 seconds being back in, I check my imediate surrounding, no sign of life apart from myself. My screen goes bright white and when the white went away I find my body in a lump and dead. From an explosion... I will share the details of the server and location if need be, to protect the set up that these guys had, but if no proper explanation is given I will release that info so others can test it out.

I am an admin of US 275, and I'm sorry for your loss but you are guilty by association. Your buddy, by the name of "Adrian" was caught using scripts to spawn in rediculous amounts of ammo and weapons in the tents that you supposedly procured "legit." The server had only been available to play on for a week. It is true that the vehicles you took were ours, in an admin camp, but no way could it be considered vehicle hoarding, as we only had the ural, the v3s, and a white truck in camp. Your guess is as good as mine as to how you guys "stumbled" upon our camp, but it took us quite awhile to comb the area and we were extremely happy when we found the vehicles safely parked next to your hacked tents. You are lucky we didn't add all of your GUID's to BattlEye's ban list. We don't tolerate hackers on our server, and I'm sure the other players who enjoy our server would hate to hack to deal with your group as well. There will be no further discussion of this topic, and I'd like to request that this post is locked.

Patch 1.7.2 seems to have broken the single player component of OA and i was wondering if any of you guys know a way to fix this... The Editor still "works" but most of the units are missing and 90% of the vehicles that still show up in the list don't actually appear when you place them on the map. Scenarios seem to be completely broken now, as in you cannot even get past the loading screen in most, and if you can you spawn as a motionless camera 10m off the ground. Haven't tried the SP campaign but i think its broken as well. I only play DayZ, but like to screw around with the editor every once in a while and i wanted to try a few custom scenarios for shooting practice so it kinda sucks that this component of the game is just broken now. Reinstalling might fix it, but updating DayZ will probably just break it again so i wanted to ask here first if anyone has been able to fix this.

Locking the server so only a handful of friendly players or clan members can run around collecting all the best vehicles and equipment before unlocking the server to everyone else is cheating. I don't see it all the differently than a player signing on with hacked files such that his weapon never misses or destroys whatever it hits with one round. Most of us need to be extremely careful when going to locations where the 'good stuff' is located because of the likely presence of others who will kill you on sight. Locking out that threat is no different in my eyes that using a hacked file. You are cheating by doing it. I understand that by hosting a server you are putting your own money into it. However, this is like becoming a franchise, a DayZ franchise. When you do so, there are certain standards you have to maintain or risk losing it. Why? It's very simple, without maintaining the standards you're damaging the product, the brand name. Imagine going to a McDonalds and asking for a Big Mac and being told there weren't any left. Then you come to find out the reason they're all gone is that the store was locked for two hours that morning and the employees ate them all. That's what's happening here. If McDonalds got wind that a Franchise bearing its name was receiving numerous complaints of this nature, they would shut that Franchise down eventually for damaging it's brand name, it's image.

Hello there! Me and a friend were playing the other night and we thought of a couple of ideas.... 1. Camo nets Use to cover vehicles which then camouflages the vehicle. Useful when obtaining those red and shiny 1970s cars you see in game... Would adding this feature make it too hard to find the vehicles? I do not believe so simply because if you see a car-shape or a huge bus in the words, regardless or what color it is it does stick out.. However this is just an idea... any feedback is useful. 2. Spray paint & [rare item: camo Stencil] This can be used to leave messages for other survivors such as directions on trees, city walls and if the stencils are found patterns can be used. This has some blatant issues, as users may leave rude or abusive messages on walls, if spammed it would reduce performance (Therefore it might be an able to have sprays disappear after 2 days? due to things like rain, writing over or simply wiped clean (Ink wouldn't be that GREAT!). 3. Helmets [Helicopter crash site] Seeing as how the downed helicopter pilot zombies have helmets why can't we? and perhaps some variants such as a camo version to match the camo skin.. Just a thought. :) 4. Safeboxes This boxes are locked using keys and can be hidden underground, Basically treasure chests! These can be forced open by using crowbars and the user must obviously dig and then place the safe box in the whole and cover it over! 5. Additional traps I am somewhat on the fence with this, because we already have bear traps, barbed wire fencing, sandbags, tank traps etc but perhaps pitfall traps? How about allowing users to make wooden stakes for camp defense? Just some random thoughts, feel free to provide any criticism you can come up with.
