Best bet to find vehicles is look near the edge of the map. Cant count how many camps that I've come across, and do the server a favor if you see more then 2 cars blow them all up damn hoarders >.<.

Why bother with zombies and other players?? Not want to bother going to pesky villages/towns/barracks/heli sites where you may encounter undead and real life undead?? Here is le answuer - just comb the fuckin woods for tents (and vehicles) - find everything you need!! Tonight i got 2 M107's, ghille x3, NVG's x 2 rangefinders etc etc . Easily found 12 tents in 6 or 7 locations stuffed to the gills with cool lewt on the map (well we know where to go). repeat to fade.......It took numerous runs back and forth to stock up my now overloaded tents with shit that I can't use - but when I die I can at least head back to the tent and restock v quick and be up and running in no time. My new stash may well be gone in the morning but I'll just steal it all back. Basically - we're getting a shittonne overflow of rare ends now - way more than any one server needs - and the only easy way is to nick it out of tents from the farmers. I don't like this one bit (but i can't help it cos its in der game yah)

I am currently grouped up with 6 other players [6-8, I can't remember] and this is what we have... [pictures included above. Click the link!] 1 AKM 2 Bizon PP-19 SD’s 2 CZ 550’s 2 FN FAL’s 1 Lee Enfield 1 M107 1 Winchester 1886 2 AKS-74 Kobra’s 3 M1014’s 2 FN FAL AN/PVS-4’s 2 AS50s [1 is with a member who is offline] 2 M1911s 1 Revolver 3 NV Goggles [With offline members] 1 M16A2 1 M4A3 CCO [with an offline member] 2 Silenced M4A1s [1 of them is with an offline member] We have GPS's, etc. Sufficient medical supplies, food, water, fuel [a crapload of fuel, I must say], etc. I didn't bother showing them in the pictures. We have four vehicles: S1203, V3S, Tractor and an Old Hatchback. [All of them are in different spots ;D]. We know where a URAL is being held by another group so we shall take that soon. [Yes, take. Not TRY, but just take.] Of course, you may not believe the other weapons that are with offline players, but I don't really care. That's your choice. The server is US 669, if you wish to play on there and get raped by us ;P. If you do happen to find our vehicles, you'll die before you can get to them. Our group consists of players from different sides of the world [e.g. I'm Australia, some of them are America and some are of different nationality], therefore that renders our camp protected 24/7 by at least two players. One of them shall be using an AS50 and one shall have an AR. So don't even bother trying to take our stuff :P. [No, I am not making this up. Believe me.] P.S. One of our group members is the admin of the server, so don't bother trying to hack. Have fun in DayZ!

Hello, I am a former US53 player with a question/complaint. I will try to make3 this short and sweet and to the point. 2-3 days ago a friend (gocolts8718) and myself (DenverDeCoY) found a broken URAL CIVILIAN (Large blue personel truck) at its spawn point, on your server. We spent several hours getting all the parts needed to fix it, and eventually got it running and claimed it as our own. After we got our truck and started traveling around the map, we came accross 3-4 vehicles on the road, fully repaired, and seemingly abandoned randomly. Later, we got reports from other players that the admins were spawning thier own vehicles, and one day after that, our truck was deleted, gone, without a trace. The truck was VERY well hidden and I am sure no one just found it, as several other vehicles (in different hiding spots) were gone too. My question: Did all the vehicles get deleted due to admins abusing thier abilities? Also: Is there any way we could get some help getting our truck back, it took us a long time and we were VERY disapointed that it was removed just after getting it. Thank you, DenverDeCoY

Hey i just wanted to throw an idea out there for anyone who might be interested what I'm thinking of is dead bodies or Infected Zeds Hibernating everywhere in the forests,cities and random places but some of them will reanimate or wake up when you pass by them i thought this would be good since they aren't taking processing power until you get near them and it could be a good new game mechanic. Another thing i would like to see is a little backstory such as how the infection started and maybe some new infected that has different effects like you meet a friendly AI but he backstabs you after you help him out due to insanity. one thing we need to improve the destruction and a few other mechanics. I think first we need to make it so we can get RPGs easier and destroy every building it gets tiring rarely finding an RPG which i have only found once in cherno and the only use i could find for it was blowing up the supermarket and hospital. Second I think we need a building mechanic since we can do so in the editor it isn't a stretch to do so in game and make a small hideout in the wilderness where you can stash your hard earned loot since in the next patch vehicles will degrade overtime. third I think there needs to be faction that will let you join a group of fellow players and build a clan HQ promoting group game play and deterring Lone wolf game play. This Idea is to Improve The realism of the game and give an insight on how life would be like in a survivors situation it would also give the game more emotion. Edit: If you support this thread please just put yes or no with a small comment don't branch off with your own idea this is a petition. On a side note if you want to make zombies harder but in a different way just Say i support this and put after that what you want in the Game.

In the end the hackers will still be able to get in your server if you just hand the password out to anyone. You can try to say you'll only whitelist people who you know, or trust, but then again that just sounds like you, your clan, and your buds having a jolly good time on a private server with next to no danger of being killed by anyone. I'm just a regular Day Z player, I have been killed by hackers, have been fucked by stupid bugs, but you know, this is alpha, these things happen. Part of the fun of the game is starting over. If having all of your tents, and vehicles destroyed bothers you, perhaps you shouldn't be playing an alpha. If you want to actively prevent hackers from destroying your server you could do it the old fashioned way.. say.. I don't know.. monitor the server and ban people appriopriately? ADMINISTRATE, the server, if you will. :rolleyes: But kcbanner is right. You don't seem like a very nice / fair play kind of guy. Seriously. People who disagree with you must server hop, or snipe newbies? I don't think there's enough room in this thread for such a pompous attitude. Hackers are frustrating yes, but just pick up the pieces of your destroyed body and comrades, and start anew, gather supplies and do what this experience is all about. Survive.

You're obviously a friend of this admin. I used the Grenade Launcher to destroy the vehicles which I brought with me from storage. I picked the Rocket Launcher up at this camp shown above. I've only been on this server a few times, mostly since Monday because my usual servers have not updated fully yet. You bloviate all over my thread about proper evidence and then throw hackusations back at me? Fuck you, buddy. I'm going to go do something more productive with my time now, I've provided the evidence to the developers and that's what matters. I don't need to get into a pissing contest with someone defending his friends.

So what your saying is you used the rocket launcher to blow up the vehicles? I didnt see any ammunition within your gear to show that. Actually the fact that i have spoken to the admin that you infact have been in question for possible hacks and duping on the server in the past 2 weeks. Your have provided insufficient evidence as well as ignored several claims from other players that have made accusations towards you. As your posts progress your story seems to fade off and doesnt add up. Everything seems to be fishier and fishier and things are being added to your story

That's giving bonuses. Basically, it makes other players better than others, if even in one area. And really, it gives you no reason not to choose doctor or the guy with the gun skills, because you really don't care if you can repair vehicles faster, and everyone can do it. Making select classes for special abilities makes the player choose combat over capability. Like I said in my last post, chose a combat class and use it to survive longer and learn practical class skills, or choose a practical class to get further ahead in the game quicker and get better gear to use to your advantage. Not only does it do this, but gives players the reliance factor. Certain people are relied on to scout with a helicopter, maintain vehicles, take out targets, heal others, and ect, which also makes people put value on other's lives. It might even make people think twice about pulling the trigger.

Yeah, Clans are some pretty greedy bastards, sitting on a mountain of vehicles like a dwarf on gold. Save the repair-time and effort and just pack 2 cans of gasoline and start wandering the edges of the map. I have been told that it could pay off in finding a clans little garage. Take the most beautiful car and blow the others up :) I am a friendly guy, but i think it is ok to sabotage this vehicle-hoarding

I didn't go straight back. There is a 2 hr 15 minute difference between the two periods as I documented. 6:45 PM and then again at 9:00PM. There was some things in between that I came upon. The Grenade Launcher was to blow the vehicles up the fun way, I'd been waiting for the opportunity to try such a thing. Also if you re-read I'll talk about picking up the rocket launcher at the camp itself and you'll see that it shows up halfway through the screenshots. Rest is self explanatory. I may not have "video evidence" but take note that it's optional in the stickied thread for christ sakes. The important thing is here that I've showed visual and documented time evidence of someone possibly duping with multiple "dead" clones, more than a likely fight would leave, and in awkward positions which makes it suspicious.They can easily check the hive character server for logs with the names and times i've provided to see if any items mysteriously appeared or duplicated. If they are interested in doing so that is their option, I'm merely providing the information.

retooling can be fun, but I would rather it be from someone owning me without hacking. What point is there in creating a tent camp and collecting vehicles if someone can just find me on the map mouse over me and two shot me? It really takes away from the game.

And how we managed to fuck up 9 vehicles in 2 days, on a single server. ANZ 1. It all started when I saw on heard on direct chat "There's a speed boat near krutoy cap, no fuel". I was near Elektrozadovsk so I decided to run over there, grab a jerry can and fuel it up. 3 jerry cans and one boat later, I'm in and off to Berezino. It was not long later I highly regret this, as I realised the boat only goes a top of 14km/h. I was around 2km south of Berezino when I realise my fuel is low, so I pull over to the town and refuel twice. On the second trip back, there's someone near my boat. So he gets in in, cool whatever. 2 minutes later, we see another boat so I get out put fuel in and take off starting a boat convoy. We arrive in Berezino and after a short trip to the military tents, my companion somehow breaks his leg and is eaten by zombies as I watch. I didn't know I was watching though, he was lagging balls crouch walking on the spot. It was only when his legs snapped and that bone crunching noise played, he teleported back beneath 4 zombies and said "help" in direct chat. I killed all the zombies in less than a second, he was already dead. I geniunely felt sad and as if I had let him down, my unarmed companion eaten by zombies while under my protection. I buried his body, Saluted for a full minute, raided Berezino and as I was heading inland with no use of the boats ~ I emptied my FN FAL into them and destroyed them. That's 2 vehicles already. I headed north to Pobeda Dam, because I knew people liked to stash tents there. When I arrived it was pitch black and I found a tent full of goodies, I was happy with this and heading up the hill to get a better look around when I see a red glimmer. A car. Seeing the car, I instantly knew a camp was nearby, I headed 20m up and see a tent and quad. The tent was loaded, M107's, AS50's, NVG's, Rangefinders, an insane amount of ammo. So I looted everything and put it into the back of the quad, sent my friend, Witch, a message telling him I hit the jackpot and to get the fuck online. I drive the Quad down the hill and up to the Dam structure, which surprise - invisible badly coded walls. My quad has a had time getting onto the Dam, and when it does, it shoots 20m into the air does a flip and lands. Fuck that shit I thought, as I reversed off and went around. When I got to the other side, the fucking thing rolls. With no way to lift it up, the bright red car is the only option. I go back, get the car, run over the tent, go across the Dam (The car was much easier to cross) and park next to the quad to exchange gear. I destroy the quad, as it no longer has any use. 3 vehicles. I take off in the car, Witch is somewhere near Mogilevka. I proceed to drive around for an hour trying to communicate on side without giving too much info and after some confusion by messing up Novy Sobor and Grishno I finnaly head to my friend. I'm literally 50m away when suddenly A FUCKING TRUCK SPAWNS INSIDE MY CAR. It explodes, I die. 4 vehicles. I respawn and head for Pobeda Dam, finding a crashed heli and an FN FAL on the way. I arrive, find some tents and am instantly kitted out. I head West searching for more cars hidden in the forests behind Devils Castle. Jackpot, 3 tents and an quad. I search the tents, a bunch of sniper rifles. I get on quad - missing two wheels. What. Who does that, I unload my FAL into it and leave. 5 vehicles. I keep heading west without a compass or map, and realise I must be heading NW so I'm completely off the map by about 2km. Suddenly Tractor. Out of nowhere, a tractor. I search around, no tents. This tractor must have spawned 2km out of the map. I get in and drive, due to being in a forest I nudge a tree. BANG CRASH DESTROY. Tractor explodes, I'm dead. 6 vehicles. I've had enough, I go to bed. The next day, I respawn on Skalisty Island holding a crowbar at 8000blood and an inventory full of junk. What. I respawn a few times but the furtherest East I can get is Cherno. So I decide fuck it, and loot the town and after 8 murders (No, I'm not joking. Every cunt in Cherno tried to shoot me. People even chase me around corners and shit popping their Enfields) I'm finally on my way. I find a Heli crash in the field north of Mogilevka chruch, and recieve an FN FAL. I continue heading NE towards Pobeda Dam to get a better look in the day, when oh my god. A shiny new tractor in the middle of the field. I get in and take of planning to stash it in the very NE corner off the map. I'm halfway there when suddenly CRACK BANG, a fucking sniper. He missed a few times, but finaly hits me so I decide to get the fuck out as fuck as I can. I turn on a bad angle for him and put the pedal to the metal, but I nudged a tiny bush so FUCKING BANG, EXPLOSIONS EVERYWHERE. The tractor explodes, I die. 7 vehicles. Whatever, it was fun. I respawn 6 times always in Kamenka and equally shit towns, until I get Prigorodki, which I realised is the best I'm going to get, I head into Cherno. Suddenly Witch tells me he found a bike north of Pobeda dam. I'm about to reply "lucky cunt" when suddenly a bus. Parked at a bus stop. In the middle of Cherno. No one nearby. On a full 50 man server. What are the chances. I get in, realise EVERYTHING is fucked and the only thing it has going is 2 wheels. I scavenge Cherno dodging gunshots and bandits untill the bus is ready to go. I get the fuck out as quick as I can and go east. I arrive in a small town and begin refuelling dodging zombies as I still don't have any weapons. Suddenly another player sprints up and into my bus. Aw hell naw. I get into the back and start chatting on vehicle channel telling him to pull over, let me drive. It works. I started driving, then realise the only way to meet Witch, it through Elektrozadovsk. Fuck. Witch informs me he's at Berezino already. I head on to Elektro when suddenly my graphics are destroyed. I have around 2frames per second, worse than minimum textures that you'd expect to see on a building unrendered 3000m away, my bus has turned into 2D shapes being made of a single rectangle white polygon with square wheels. Why does this happen now, I'm literally playing with less than minimum graphics, edited the .ini to have maximum performance. My companion instantly recognises something is wrong as the bus is lagging it's balls off. He asks if I want him to drive. Cool whatever, we swap seats and we head off, me still experiencing shitty graphics issues with a top of 2FPS. Suddenly 0FPS. The game has crashed. No, no no no no. no. It takes a full two minutes for my computer to even load back the desktop, steam is fucking me over by being all over my screen not responding even though it's not doing anything, explorer.exe is not responding, I open task manager and after a minute it loads but my mouse is still invisible because arma2co.exe is still open so I close it using the keyboard. I quickly get back on steam tell Witch my game has crashed and the bus is heading through Elektrozadovsk. I open Arma join ANZ 1 again quickly, game freezes on loading screen while I'm getting numerous Steam notifications I can't check. When the game unfreezes, I shift+tab and read them. Fuck. Witch got hit in Elektro on the bike and is wounded in the church, bike down. 8 vehicles. I spawn, I'm in Elektro. Witch is dead. There's no side chat to communicate to the bus, and as far as I know he's still heading to Berezino thinking I'm in it. An admin message appears "SERVER RESET IN 2 MINUTES". I'll never see that bus again, I never saved it. The bus is gone for good. The server resets. I log off. 9 vehicles. After the graphics issue, I've decided I'm spending up to $2000 tomorrow to get the best shit for my computer I can. I've got to be the unluckiest player ever.

Everything is gone, tents and vehicles. Don't even look like they are spawning as if it was a new boot. Trying to see if it was just me or everyone.

It's not like that, no. That's a bonus skill. If a whiskey bottle is full, (which IDK if they're even in DayZ, because I never picked one up) anyone would be able to find it regardless. If a bartender was a class, I have no idea what the specialization skill would be. No one is meant to be better than anyone else at anything, except the combat classes because they don't have special skills outside of combat that will help them survive. At exceptions of doctors, because not letting players give eachother transfusions is just too cruel, so them being able to use bloodpacks at their full potential and a bit beyond is understandable. That is, if you are replying to me, it works like this: players choose between combat and practical classes. The players who choose combat classes are better at one aspect of combat, but are at a disadvantage to not being able to repair vehicles and use bloodpacks effectively. The advantage is that combat class players can learn the practical skills through books. Practical class players have the advantage of being able get ahead of combat class players early in the game by getting vehicles or being able to heal better, but have the disadvantage of not being able to learn combat class skills. It's a gamble. Pick a combat class and try to use the skills to survive longer and learn the practical skills, or use practical class skills to get ahead and find better gear early on. Get it?

I don't see any names or anything so i don't know how those pictures are gonna actually help out, you should have recorded the whole thing if you claim to see them log out. The pictures you provided is basically the same thing as an accusation by words. I've found 20 STANAG rounds in a box next to the helicopter crash site. If these guys have had camp and been working as a group for a while then obviously they've been raiding and looting stuff which can probably explain why you see like 4 AS50's and an amount of other magazines. Sorry i have nothing against you but you only showed us pictures of weapons, magazines, and vehicles. These guys are a group so finding vehicles won't be that hard, you have no proof of vehicle ESP as well. This type of duplication is common with so many DayZ players, not to mention many of them claim that they do it on DayZ threads again. This problem has been seen a while before the second patch was even announced. First my question is, you died, you came back with a Rangefinder, rocket launcher, M4A1 holo, and every other gears that cannot be obtained simply by just riding back to their base, how is this possible?

Yeah mine has been broken too. Shame, because in my off time from DayZ I liked to screw around with the guns and vehicles. Oh well.

The thing is that clans and groups like to hoard vehicles. If that server does not seem to have vehicles this is the most likely answer.

Usable vehicles seem to be about as rare as heli crashes (just my observation), which is to say, pretty damn rare. When you do find one, they tend to stand out. They don't look like the rusted-out smashed-up wrecks all over the place. Graphically, they'll look fully intact. The only one I've seen in Cherno is a bus on the North/inland side, near the Hospital and the main road heading inland. I think I've also seen an ATV on one of the bridges heading east out of Cherno. There's often a car near the tents in Stary. I've seen a tractor at the gas station in Zelenogorsk, and I've read that Zelenogorsk in general is a good place to look for them. All in all though, I think specifically hunting for a vehicle is unlikely to bear fruit. I would suggest just keeping your eyes open for one. When you do find one, SAVE IT, then go hunting for parts. Doubt this is a complete list, but a good start: http://dayzwiki.com/wiki/index.php?title=Vehicles

you said "Chernarous", which is the name of the map, and judging your sentence, i assume you meant chernogorsk, teh city? if you meant chernogorsk, you will RARELY find vehicles there, as it is a popular loot area. look elsewhere on the map. also, drivable vehicles generally have coloring too them, and aren't all beat up. search on youtube for vehicle spawn points.

Yeah well there is no way to contact the admin there is no name attached to it that I can find along with an email address. I don't consider myself a hoarder either, we got rid of two cars that were not needed in the group. There is 4 of us we don't need 6 vehicles lol.

Heyy let me know how it goes! I usually restart the server a second time if the first server restart doesn't show people's tents/vehicles. Is that a paid program?

Did you read my post? These are the things that normal people would do in this situation. Some were doctors, hunters, some enjoyed running, a few had some flight training, and some built a car with their dad in the family garage. These are using the skills you obtained as a civilian to help you survive, (in which you could just switch classes upon death) without giving you weaknesses or strengths, really. All it does is unlock something for you or get you A LITTLE bit better in an area of expertise. Also, changing them in gameplay makes no sense, as you suddenly picked up an entirely different skillset out of nowhere? Also, referring to my post, people could just change engineer when found car parts, pilot when found heli, medic when found bloodpacks, and hunter or police, when in combat. (yes, I realized the last to sentences start with the same word and comma, but I'm not going to change it. It was an editing mishap, so leave it be) As for the post above the one I quoted, ("This is your story.") you mean that you would need a team to survive? You wouldn't. It just helps. Getting a vehicle is already hard enough, so not many are engineers or pilots. Not too many people find bloodpacks, so doctors'll wise up and will probably switch classes. The rest are basically "solo" classes, meaning most solo players will choose them, and if they team up in game they still can't put a heli together and drive it. It has no guns anyway. Friends and clans might be able to but they were the only groups to really achieve this anyway. Only really the pilot needs an engineer to fix a helicopter, considering how huge an advantage it is. Part of "your story" is the people you encounter, but trust me you could live without those people no matter what class you were.. What if there were manuals, right? You find car or medical manuals that you keep in your inventory, and you can preform and action that the manual teaches, in the idea your player will look up what to do while preforming this action. To take it further, maybe the action will take twice as long until you learn the skill, and the manual is no longer needed. So say you found an engine repair manual. Putting the part together and then installing it into the car will take twice as long, until finished, in which you will have then memorized the skill, after only doing this once. Using bloodpacks, however, would be the only skill you would need to do multiple times. Same for heli. Repair it once, learn it. Then there's a pilot's manual that you use when you're flying. Once you land, just chuck it or burn it. Hey, it isn't perfect, but if people start complaining that they want to get vehicles but don't want to be an engineer, they can go find a book to teach them. They just pick it up, use it, then burn or chuck it, maybe sell it. It'd have to be really, really rare as to not have the idea of classes demolished by learning anything really easily. One random book every 5-10km and in random places? If someone picked it up after a time it would respawn in a random place. Say heli flight manuals at the crash or in a place with a helipad, medical manuals in the hospital, repair manuals in random houses or lying near cars, and ect. Think about the whole thing, classes and manuals. It's not the definite way to do it, but just imagine if it did what it is supposed to. Imagine if it focused on how people play the game, and made players survive different ways based on their skill sets? If it encouraged players to team up for survival but you did just fine without? I mean, no group of players with different or the same classes would be better off taking out a single player than they already were.

True but we have no idea how they want the mod to be...IMO it doesn't feel like they want to change much (since most the NEW features are items and things that are minor like that) If they were going to let us clear villages and or make settlements and add more depth to the mod, i would think by now they would have added that in (the addition of line of sight where you can lose the zombies kind of gives me the idea they might go on to introduce more features but IDK) they could just be getting all the little things like items and vehicles in right now then expand upon it, just thought i would bring up the on and off again topic of clearing towns and even maybe the possiblity for settlements (which is unlikely but hey) Question: Do you guys think they are avoiding the zombie physics? or just don't know how to fix them? I merely ask since they do seem to just be focusing on adding items and improving performance right now (im all for the performance but why not focus on that and Ai and zombie physics at the same time instead of adding useless crap like tank traps...or wire fencing...or sandbags seriously they are useless the zombies just walk through it all anyway.)

I'm sorry, but his attitude is kind of appropriate due to the fact you demanded something from people who have released something that is free. You were as rude as he is. Anyway, if you'd like to find vehicles, head north. I've found a tractor, a clean red car and an abandoned ATV that had 3 steaks and an outstanding sniper rifle on it.
