The game is a little more enjoying because you feel less the "pressure".. whenever you don't care at all about your gear (i usually don't), you can't simply ignore the fact that you spend a couple of days to have that NVG or AS50; on private servers this doesn't exists: you know you have many characters on many servers (more like regular games) and you do so much more things ... it's more common to find vehicles, you finally have a chance to repair and use a helicopter (last night i had great fun with it) ... and such. I must admit that i don't play on official servers (mainly because of the latest issues with patches) by 5 days already..

Easy. Random player found a clan's campsite and discovered the charges inside one of the tents or a saved vehicle, then proceeded to take a joyride and quickly hit random buildings while awaiting his eventual death. I've found many things in tents, and more than once I have found vehicles. Usually due to the servers going down within 2 hours, without a restart warning, I can only assume it is the clans running the servers resetting them in an attempt to reclaim their lost stuff. As I have no proof of this, though, I will not report them. 2 hours is a long time, and many servers reset after only 8. But yeah, you can get your hands on those charges. Plus, what is the point of having them if you aren't going to us them? Well, someone did.

you should start camphunting, since ive done this i dont know how many vehicles ive found...

trust me there are no "good" people that hide away vehicles with a shitload of bloodbags etc... its either bandits, or clans with their skypes and what have ya.... :lol:

After seeing a trailer that someone had created for DayZ, i had an idea that i'd love to see happen. Abandonded cars in the middle of a road. Wouldn't it be great to be travelling along a road to find a pile of abandonded cars. It'd really add to the creepy atmosphere of the apocalypse. The vehicles could be unfixable but interactable. For example you could interact with the boot which may contain some loot (such as low tier ammo, food and drink). Something like this across the occasional location could be awesome. In case you are wondering what trailer i mean, here is a link I also loved the idea of seeing a body that had been hung in an airfield hanger. That would also go to the vibe (also in barns?).

Why the hell do these guys keep adding new stuff in patches, we don't care about bear traps. Just fix the damn game. 1. It does not matter how many sandbags, wire fencing, or tank traps you remove. On server restart they all come back. 2. With this latest amazing and well thought out patch we get to play for hours on end just to find out our progress doesn't get saved. 3. We can still dupe items. 4. We can still disconnect from fights, aggro, and even repair broken bones and refill our water and food. 5. I don't think I need to mention the outfits. 6. I can crash my vehicles, get off of it, get back on it, and everything will be back to green. 7. Can I ask why I need to have a toolbox equipped to remove a sandbag when I can only place one with an entrenching tool?

very good thoughts. i like! :) ... yea with that running it a crap to be like too slow in forrests. but maybe 5 minutes of constantly running is ok, while you have to take a rest. am maybe there could be the possibility for more vehicles like the bicycles. or energydrinks or stereoids which give you back some stamina.

you could a least add this in a special difficulty setting to just some server for trying and see if this is not only interessting for the hardcore players but also for casuals. what's more ruin for a game if you getting all the best equipment and vehicles in just some hours. it's like you have already everyrhing which is interessting in this game (looting to highend equip). me took to 3 hours yesterday to get map, compass, matches, hetchet, knife, gps, binoculars, clock, a m4 with 10 packs of ammo, a g17 handgun with 4 ammos, a m1 handgun with 5 ammos, a lot of food and stuff . (and all this shit NOT with camping and server hopping. I am againts this!). now it's just like running from one village to another and lookout for other player which i can kill for fun. because its just borring and i have nothing to do ... and by god I'm not a professional pk, I'm really not!

I have only had luck with vehicles saving equipment, but even that is not fool proof. Vehicles are also tending to duplicate items, which is quite exploitable. I don't understand why tents and vehicles don't just automatically save whenever their state is changed. Add item? Save. Take out item? Save. Just saved? Wait 5 seconds then save! I find the whole saving when you want thing to be error prone and ripe for abuse. Please add an automatic save feature on top of fixing the tents!

Well.. No offense, but it sounds like you don't want to play a realistic post apocalyptic zombie survival sandbox game set in a post war soviet country. It sounds much more like you want to play a base building game set in a futuristic or modern setting. I'm not saying that the two are mutually exclusive, but dayz "as is" is nowhere near what your suggesting. The level of "turrets" and base building your talking about is crazy. How immersive is a survival-pvp-zombie game, where you can basically leave your crap laying around and feel secure in your items safekeeping as long as you log in once a day and fill a generator? You SHOULD have to worry about random people stumbling upon your shit and stealing it. You SHOULD have to restart afterwards, not revel in your drone armies capability in protecting your crappy akm, NVG, and blood bags.... The most funny thing to me is that what your suggesting is SO much more advanced than anything you could protect with it. Tell me one item in this game that is more valuable than an automated targeting turret? That's like me suggesting a nuclear deterrent in a game about farming so that people don't steal your fertilizer. Whats next? O FUCK MAN SOMEONE BROKE MY TURRET!!! ROCKET NEEDS TO ADD ROBOT DOGS THAT PATROL MY BASE TO PROTEXT MAH TURRETS WHILE I EAT HOT POCKETS AND SLEEP! Sorry, whereas your ambition is great and it would change the game in big ways, I feel that the biggest point of the mod is to show people a world in which nothing is permanent. Be it your vehicles, weapons, food, drink or for that matter your life. At any point if you feel "SAFE" in any of those aspects, something about the spirit of DAYZ as we know and love it, will be lost forever.

Here are the features I want to be in the "final" Day Z: - Car keys (you will find 2 keys in the car when it spawns and can use it as any item and the keys will look different for every vehicle type) - Car hacking tools (there will be a very rare item so you could hack any car, maybe divided into trunk-open and start-engine tools) - Housing / Bases (Any house can be taken from a player or a team to put their stuff in etc. / You maybe need to find locks or sth. / I think this is already an idea from Rocket so thumbsup for that) - Garages (basically the same idea as above; just for vehicles) - Experience (I am not so sure about this but I think it would increase gameplay if you could only use some items with a higher zombie kill count (or just xp by killing players, looting, running around); so you could use pistols just when you have killed 10 walkers; nightvision just with 200 or sth. like that) - Penalties (to avoid player killing I think it should be implemented some downsides on killing other players; the best in my mind is just to make it realistic so in real world if some idiot went around killing people the "normal" guys would team up and hunt him down so you gotta give us some tools to do that like radio and maybe some boards where you can put names or even pictures (with cameras you find in the game) of assholes that kill innocent people; big thumbs up for implementing radios as it is an idea of Rocket as well!!!) - Throwing stuff (I wanna be able to throw ammo to friends or hatchets at walkers etc. -- not too big an issue but it sure would be nice) - Hiding stuff (yeah just let us hide stuff anywhere and not just in tents -- maybe under special items like stones etc. (maybe 100 spots on the whole map or sth like that)) - Notes (would be nice if you could build signs or at least write notes and leave it anywhere you want) - Swarms (I think huge groups of walkers should walk around on the whole map; like 2-3 of them (up to 100) just randomly move everywhere; would help to not feel save anywhere; maybe drop some big items when killing the whole swarm) - Shops (Would be nice to have some sort of currency to buy / trade stuff from some A.I.) - Safe zones (like an army camp where if you shoot, AI shoots you back; not 100% imba though you could try to kill the AI with like 5 or 10 friends; maybe you could only spawn there to prevent spawn kills etc.; will be automatically set back to the nearest safe zone if you don't save in one) - Ships (random ships that appear on the water with a lot of loot would just be nice, I guess) - Selfmade skins (to team up you need some sort of special item or skin to wear; would be great if you could add some with photoshop! individulization is a big point if you wanna make that game successfull in my mind) - Remove the fucking beartraps!!! (jk insidejoke with #dayz on qnet) :D Maybe I will be having more ideas so stay tuned as I am broadcasting on all am frequencies! ;) Feel free to comment :)

Why because I don't approve of killing someone without a purpose? I sometimes just farm kills for food, ammo, water, tools, etc. but not too often. We spend most of our time looting large places and we have found multiple vehicles and have fixed them all except the ATV...that is tomorrows mission! :P

we currently have lost over 3/4 of the vehicles we have had in the last day or two through various attacks by a LARGE amount of players, not sure if it's the same players changing their names but it has been fairly suspicious as to how so many people have found the base, in such a remote location. AS stated before the server has been offline and we are working to fix this. My permissions on the admin console were reset unbeknownst to me and I have been working with the server provider to remedy this situation. Call it saving our face as you may but in the end it is our group that has lucked out, not only have we lost what we have worked for ingame, we now have a tarnished reputation which we have tried to build over the years, due to some alleged accusations with no means of confirmation. Server is now up and running. Thanks to the help of another admin. If the party that posted this would like to resolve whatever has happened feel free to join our TS 203.46.105.35:20040 If you do decide to join just poke the user FlintSTONED, and i will happily discuss the matter.

Vyrosa, 1 AM. (Past midnight in real life, the game was pitch black. Not monochrome but proper darkness.) So me and my boys were on the east of that town, on our way to the Northwest airfield encountered two helicopter crashes along the way. We move in a wide line formation and just crossed the road and sat down in the treeline whilst chatting on third party comms. Suddenly... Let's start off with the group composition for now. We have two norwegians, one with a FAL Nightscope and one with a DRM scope. Two english players, one with a M4 one with an AKS Kobra Finally one Dutch player with a FAL Nightscope with an AKM backup. So we were chattering on voice comms and then suddenly I hear the rumbling noise of excitement rumbling in the distance and I quickly call out to my friends on coms. "Clear coms! Prone, vehicle approaching from the east." It so happened that I saw a six wheeled truck drive by over the farmland by the road that goes east from Vyrosa and intersects up the North airstrip. One of our norwegian nightscopers spotted a motorcycle and didn't even see the truck some how and we called the order to engage and try and fire on the vehicles. He managed to get away behind Vyrosa and we figured that the truck got blown up since one of us saw the thing smoking somewhere. However, we had forgotten about the motorcycle in the middle of the fight and we were reloading and scanning with squinted eyes for those who did not have a nightscope. Admist the fight one of our english players' computer crashed so we counted him out. However, the other english guy and the DRM norwegian lad got popped out of nowhere and in panic me and the norwegian nightscoper proned and were trying to see where the shots came from. Whilst I convinced him not to ALT+F4 like a little bitch, I ordered us to back up slowly and find some cover admidst the darkness, fortunately he managed to spot the sniper and shot him. We saw the death message pop up right away and we cheered. Then followed a full five minutes discussion on weather there was only a motorcycle and a truck. We approach the body and found a fully functional motocycle beside the corpse with full fuel. And while the norwegian lad began looting the body we actually found a nightvision and a GPS. As soon as we got the nightvision we moved back to our treeline and began scanning around while our reborn brothers were running back to our location. (Where they arrived to loot all over the place about 20-30 minutes later.) However, before they arrived we managed to find the truck driver and the norwegian guy easily managed to spot the guy using nightvision and screamed out in happiness while we carelessly ran over to the other body. Morale of the story: Don't fucking alt+f4 when shit goes down. Man the fuck up and you might even obtain a nightvision, gps and a fully working motorcycle (and actually a bicyle aswell xD) if you deal with your situation. To the owner of the truck and motorcycle (One of you had a NVS and GPS on you.): Good fight, the most exiting ones we've had so far. Midnight, pitchblack combat with almost no vision is amazing. :) --- Later that day we placed two snipers on the northeast hill above Starry Sobor. Three of us went down along the mall and towards the militairy camp. It just happened that some asshole spawned behind our snipers, shot the two of them, stole one DRM and then ALT+F4'd while I was binacularing him. Whoever that was: Fuck you. --- Now it's time to go to the supermarket... without guns.

yeah because in the military they never fire weapons from their vehicles... guessing youve never seen generation kill

Like from land vehicles and boats?

Play however you want, but don't label and assume other players are 'bandits' just because they have multiple cars or stock up on supplies. You're not a hero though, you're just a dick. Taking others gear and vehicles they've obviously worked hard for and giving it to undeserving noobs who have just spawned.

Part of the issue is that once you are well geared, there is not a lot that the game offers in regards to challenge. There are players who are happy living up north, who see how long they can survive off the land, or those who have other RP goals. There are some who like to establish campsites, stockpile weapons, gear, and vehicles. But as far as I have seen, both groups are in the minority, and they will get bored like anyone else. Most people, though. see little else to do once their equipped and turn eventually to the one constant challenge: other people.

Hello all, I've logged over 100 hours in DayZ, but since the most recent update (1.7.2.3) I have issues (re)connecting to certain servers. The first time I play on a server I have no issues, but when I come back to play later on or the next day (without changing any files) I can sometimes no longer connect to it, I just get stuck on loading (I've let it sit for up to 30 minutes before). Because of this I can no longer play on my "home" server, which has my group's vehicles in it. So far I've tried: Reinstalling Operation Arrowhead Reinstalling DayZ Reinstalling/Updating Battleye Restarting computer Verifying game files (I have the steam version) Launching/connecting with/without six updater None of this has helped, I still get stuck on loading (after getting to the player screen, pressing ok, seeing receiving, and then 'waiting for character to create'), I can even see the death messages of players in the server, but never end up finishing loading. I couldn't find anyone else with this exact issue (in 1.7.2.3) and have verified that I have the proper versions of everything and can connect to other servers. I'm out of ideas, do you guys have any?

I randomly found an ATV in the forest and partied hard because I'd never found one before. Anyway I drove it to Berezino by the docks - you can find an old fuel tank on the northernmost pier. I drove down the pier and the ATV jumped in the air then flipped to the side as if I'd hit a ramp or something. Through turning the wheels and reversing it very slowly righted itself and my heart started beating again. I refuelled it, got on, then tried driving away. I had a few feet in front and behind where it would act normally, but past that it would start going vertically, as if I were driving up a sheer invisible wall. I tried everything to get out of this invisible box, eventually culminating in a straightforward rush to see if this wall could be 'jumped'. It could not. ATV blew up and is no more. Incidentally I managed to put it on its side once before, on the train tracks. Upon relogging it was correct again, but it had not saved the repairs I'd made to it - all bars were yellow once again. Fuel was saved however. Not sure if this was because it had been damaged when it tipped, or if vehicles are not saving properly? Anyway - I would highly recommend noone tries driving on the piers. Date/Time: 15/07/2012 What happened: ATV went full retard Where you were: Berezino northern pier What you were doing: Refuelling ATV Current installed version: 1.7.2.3 Server(s) you were on: Seattle 39 Your system specs: Godlike Timeline of events before/after error: See above

and what if he simply finds a cz and does the same thing. true its not a perfect plan and some of those suppiles will end up in the hands of bandits but ill ask you what are you trying to do to change things? the primary issue at the beach is the difficulty that many have in procuring weapons. we can help them if we try.an example if i find a large camp. I have no need for 20 rifles in 6 vehicles between 2 people so i take what i need and want and ditch the excess for anyone to use and if its for rearming purposes once I've rearmed from my personally stock which at this point is tiny and continue playing i find more weapons easily afterwards and still don't need a large stock pile of surpluses. like i said in my topic post its an attempt. do you have any ideas that doesn't require rocket to recode and change the game?

Hey fellow bandits, bandettes, survivors and surviv..ettes. I just had to ask something. I've been playing this game for less than a week and I've gotten the hang of most of the stuff. I'm not entirely sure if I'm a bandit or a survivor really, but as of yet I haven't met that many players to actually qualify as a bandit. The only time I did meet somebody we ended up shooting each other like crazy and I came out of that situation, barely alive, with a huge backpack, lots of gear and a tent. I also got a bandit kill. So, I felt pretty good about myself when I lived that through. But this topic is about vehicles. Because I've tried to find one. And I've been scouting almost every vehicle spawn spot up in the north that I've seen on the maps that I found on the dayzwiki. I've scouted for bicycles as well as helicopters, and everything in between. I haven't seen a single vehicle on this server I would call my "default" server. So I'm asking, is there a cap to how many vehicles spawn? So if a guy repairs a car, that takes that car away from the spawn list or whatever until it's destroyed? Or does it not respawn at all? I haven't understood the spawn mechanics of this game when it comes to vehicles and I'm not joking when I tell you that I've been running around half of the island with my backpack filled with parts to repair SOME vehicle. I've had to ditch several guns and other amazing loot due to being overpacked. So, what is there to do? How do I find a vehicle?

1. Sound for doors opening and closing. 2. Team or squad markings. In real life you would recognize the people with you it be nice to have it in game some how. BUT - something not obvious so that at a distance players still have to identifiy themselves to their friends (always tense trying to meet with someone). 3. An easier trade system between players. 4. A white flag emote for friendlies, of course you can still kill them but I like the clear communication of the act. Maybe you cant hold a weapon while holding the flag. And it doesnt have to be an item, in real life its a t-shirt, sock, whatever. 5. Melee weapons! I know there is probably another post but melee weapons need their own slot, the intventory gymnastics to pulling out an axe is silly. 6. Some way to punish people disconnecting during pvp. Maybe a "your in combat" set up so players have to finish combat or they can't be bleeding when they log. 7. IED- put random items to use by making improvised explosives. Im not really intrested in vehicles but if I could make some fire bombs with some of the same items it be cool. 8. More skins. Thanks, Love the Game :)

One time payment with expansion packs that give longevity to the game yes (no dlc please, just new map/weapon/skin/vehicles packs) Yes, feedback improves games, we don't want rehashes of COD or battlefield, they're done to death. Likewise if the game became another stalker/metro it would be the same thing. It has to be unique yet bigger. Both, I live all the way down in Singapore and I have to host my own server which is incredibly expensive compared to prices in US where you can just buy slots and updates and software and support is instananeous. Server support on my end takes days to approve and update. Its rediculous even though we have fibreoptic internet, besides playing at 200ping vs 6ping. Its a BIG difference for pvp and the time it takes for zeds to fall over and die.
