Having five vehicles in your camp also greatly increases it's chances of being discovered.

I heard a rumor that smaller map was being worked on for DayZ, and I thought to my self why would that be required? If there were more vehicles, heck not even more just available. Not stashed in the woods not being used 75% of the time then the map wouldn't be so isolated. Rocket is implementing a map border explosion to deter those camps outside of the map. Why not add a timer to vehicles that when not used for more then 3-4 hours they explode, and lower the spawn time from a week to maybe 1 day. This would ensure people hoarding 5-6 vehicles and leaving them in the woods would slowly stop, and increase activity around cities and vehicle spawn locations. Ultimately this would relocate the vehicles from being hardly used to mostly used. The vehicles are obviously rare enough, just not hidden in the mountains. TLDR: Add an explosion timer to vehicles that have not been saved or touched within 3-4 hours.

Yeah, I have been having this lately too, it seems to be server specific. For debugging, if you look at the ocean (haven't tested with ponds), it seems to be glitching its animation in sync with the sutters... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=riKlTw-B4_M&feature=youtu.be I suggest moving server until you find one, that is smooth. Unless you have vehicles, I suppose.

HowTo restet vehiles on server? (server admin)
cccbss replied to rfjack's topic in Mod Servers & Private Hives
I don't think so. Infact, everytime I restart my server, we must lost our vehicles! Yes, vehicles update data to Hive DB. But must not synchronous， and must have other problem. -
As long as the camps outside the map boundaries are cleaned up regularly, I don't see the problem with hoarding. Vehicles inside the map will always get stolen sooner or later.

BS detector is WAAAAAY off the charts. If you have so many people, that just means you'd need to find that many more. I seriously hope that when they confirm the duplication exploits as fixed, they reset all inventory, tents and vehicles. Then the duping clans won't have a mysteriously standard, ultra rare item load out. Then they won't act like some kind of scavenging badasses. I would guess that almost none of the night vision goggles out there were found on "natural" spawn points. They are considered more of a status symbol than their usefulness. It's a point to brag about. But having multiple people in a group that have them? Bullshit.

One thing I will say is, stick to the same server. You're much more likely to come across vehicles then. Try going into the woods NE of the map. Usually some retard who thinks that's a good hiding place for his car.

We didn't hack any vehicles into the game at all. If your playing with a group it's much better as there a more eyes searching. A couple examples of where I've found vehicles: Found a blue van west of kranastov at a farm in the woods, end of a small dirt road. ATV's always spawn on Klen mountain and Black Lack. Although they are super risky and not worth the effort of repairing as they spontaneously blow up. Found a bus up north of black lack filled with supplies - obviously a player/group left it there. Found a military truck on the east side of the mountain overlooking the Polana Factory. It had a red engine so I assume it's owner was in the factory searching for parts. I relieved him of this burden :) Found white off-road on the side of the road just north of Polona factory. Hactch back near a small shed just north of myshkino. Don't give up, you'll find them soon enough.

Banned from UK 25 for server hopping??
Flail replied to MiniGoold's topic in Mod Servers & Private Hives
UXFaz, yes I know that's an exploit, and I got killed yesterday by d/c-Player. Shot him, he was away, I ran my old direction and got shot by him from behind. NVG + Rangefinder for him.. yey.... The problem ARE the rules like you said from May. It's like laws. When your government does not set new ones, the old ones are active. Right? Normally BattleEye should do the cheat/hackdetection, or some dev-teammembers analyzing the logs, but it seems, that you didn't and kicked by suspicion. Excuse my English and some rage please, but I had bad experiences with admins we killed ... or admin's vehicles we have stolen. -
Hoarding is part of the sim. It's a valid survival tactic. Vehicles are a rare find, and often need to be repaired. I think if someone goes through the trouble of finding one, and goes through the trouble of finding parts and fuel, they should be able to keep it as long as they can hide and guard it. As long as they keep it within the map borders - if you go beyond the treeline, as far as I'm concerned the thing should instantly explode. They have to save the vehicle to don't they? The first few weeks I played I thought vehicles were a myth. Never saw one in any state of repair. But within the last two weeks I've seen : two boats - one out of fuel and the other I died before I could check one bicylce - functional one truck - fuctional and fully repaired one tractor - functional and fully repaired

[DayZMod] The Dayz Statistics thread!
govnogaming replied to Ander (DayZ)'s topic in Mod Announcements & Info
I don't see why everyone is crying about heat maps. He's going to take the info from a bunch of servers/the main hive, and then turn it into colors on a map. It won't show exact positions and it won't show tents, vehicles, or current locations of players. The fact of the matter is, unless you have a giant clan and are operating the same camp site on multiple servers, it likely won't show up on the heat map that much. You have to remember that the map is made as an average, and isn't very precise either. It's going to be colored rings, not specific blobs that follow the exact path of a single player. In fact, the heat map would help everyone. It's a bit of a mind fuck, but imagine this; You see your camp is in a heated location across all servers. You're going to move it away from that spot, and thanks to this map, you'll know where a nice cool spot is. But of course (unless the map updates instantly), there's a very small chance that survivors and people actually go through the cool spots on the right server to find you. If this is the situation, suck it up and actually stay close to a heated spot. If there was some hidden place close to Cherno, I would use that as my camp, just because it's less likely to be found. -
A very valid point, would 12-15 hours sound fine? That would allow someone who plays regularly to keep their vehicle and prevent the forgotten vehicles. The groups of vehicles would have to be implemented to keep multiple cars just chilling and people logging in to save them. A group of friends and I have only seen 1-2 actual spawned vehicles. The ones we come across are in groups of 3-4 in the middle of the woods after spending hours searching. I feel like vehicles being in cities would draw more users to the cities.

The vehicles are a lie. I haven't seen one, repairable or otherwise, for weeks. I've seen, total, a couple of boats, one bicycle and a broken down bus- since I started playing in early May. I'm always amazed hearing people talk casually about having many vehicles. It has led me to formulate conspiracy theories about server admins and clans.

Staing alive. But how "old" are you?
chilled replied to deadzen's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Before patch 1.7.2, I was on day 31. Haven't logged in since then. Private servers can be such fun :lol: I play safe either alone or in a large group. I rather avoid firefights then start one. No rushing into towns. Never been to NW after i got all the gear i 'needed'. Usually i play duo. Small enough to stealth, large enough to use basic tactics. We hoarded vehicles, i flew choppers, now im just roaming the wilds hoping to find highend tentcities (and dispose of them after i looted ammo/food). -
3-4 hours is way to short. People have to sleep and work at the very least. However I do agree with the overall message. I myself have had camps of 4-5 vehicles with only 1-2 being used regularly.
-
Got any ideas on how to cut out hoarding? Maybe the timer only initiates if two or more vehicles are within 400m of each other. This would keep your vehicle safe, but your parking lot would get wiped out recycling the vehicles back into the server population instead of 2-4 people.
-
I'd like to keep the vehicles I found, thanks.
-
maybe because people like having non-exploded vehicles when they wake up the next morning...

What to look for in and where to look for it in the Server logs if you suspect duping or hacking?
Diwwah replied to J1mbo's topic in Mod Servers & Private Hives
Duping currently happens unintentionally all the time when people use tents or vehicle storage as intended. We have duped without even knowing it was possible and we keep duping without intending to. Even if we throw all our stuff out of the tents and flatten them with vehicles, they'll be back safe and sound with all the loot after the next server reboot. Duping happens. You can't help it. Even the dupers can't. -
Vehicles. Where are they? Am I doing something wrong or..?
Jack Dant replied to happylarry77's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Everyone checks the vehicle spawn points, you will rarely find them there. Most non-terrible vehicles are parked in hiding spots away from civilization. Trawl the forests west and north of the map and you should find some. Or just setup an ambush at a fuel station or well travelled road and wait (and wait, and wait). -

If the admin force load the map it resets all the vehicles. -
Vehicles. Where are they? Am I doing something wrong or..?
ZedsDeadBaby replied to happylarry77's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Vehicles are highly sought after, but server restart is not when they spawn. They each have their own "secret interval" which I believe is controlled by the hive and not revealed for exactly this reason. Find out where the vehicles spawn and then periodically check those locations. You would be shocked at how often they re-appear. I have repaired the same pickup at the same location probably ~8 times across various servers and 2-3 times repeatedly on some servers. But, yes, your best bet in the long run is to hunt the wilderness and steal pre-repaired vehicles. You don't have to do all the work of repairing, and the vehicles will come pre-packaged with a ton of great loot most of the time. ;) -
DE10 - Server Thread <(^-^<) <(^-^)> (>^-^)>
Trowa replied to caspar's topic in Mod Servers & Private Hives
We didn't have that problem on uk7, granted it was a few patches ago but we kept 3 vehicles alive for a week. The only vehicle we've kept for longer then a day is the bus that lost all its wheels and even that disappeared and reappeared a few days later. Its just frustrating to not be able to make any progress, my character has every equipment and 2 good weapons, whats left if vehicles are useless :( -
So my friends and I were in a lengthy firefight with the WarDrivers.net clan on us 85, the owners of the server we ended up killing about 4-5 of them and 3 of us dying, including what I thought was my own death. My debug monitor had disappeared and I took a bullet to the head, I was in third person and i saw my character do a crazy swan dive death fall to the ground and stop moving, I wasn't unconscious and I was able to manipulate the menus but not move or anything so I figured I had glitched out on death so i just disconnected... As soon as I did my friends told me they never saw a death message so I logged back in else where to see what had happened.. I logged back in with 12000 blood, bleedin, and unconscious... When I tried to go back to us 85... Their [WD]OneShotx clan leader and admin had banned me for DCing in PVP... It's right in their server message and i get that but, I never DC in combat, and i've killed and been killed by these WD guys many times. I don't feel like banning when I was obviously in some kind of glitched out purgatory between life and death is fair at all. I'd normally switch servers without an issue but I have a stash and vehicles I don't want to sacrifice without a fight due to some admin's inflated sense of perceived e-honor in a video game. Thanks for taking a look at this.

Vehicles. Where are they? Am I doing something wrong or..?
killavirus replied to happylarry77's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
in my base :D vehicles are highly sought after, most servers will restart and then hit the server fast knowing where vehicles are going to be. You may get lucky every now and then, but in the time you find one and get all the parts to it it is probably going to be gone by that time. Your best bet is to look for a camp or join the teasmspeak of the server your joining and asking the clan if they have a spare vehicle.
