What about the despwaning of dead bodies immediately? And the bug that your gear saved in vehicles is lost after server restart?

This'll just get buried, but vehicles and tents may reappear once the Hive stops getting fried by server requests. Wait a day, and ask your admins to restart the server. By then, this should have all died down and you may get your shit back. Happened to me every update.

Great. All my vehicles after Update its gone. Good job guys, every update shit happens, Really nice job!

Not sure if this is the right spot, but Atlanta 56 lost all tents and vehicles in a restart for like 5 different camps. If at all possible could we have a restart? Tanks dears. <3

sounds like a crash rather than a timed reboot. Vehicles have been doing that but re-appearing after another reboot. I'll have a word with multiplay.

1.7.2 killed my character and my vehicles.

This wont solve any problems instead of stealing the vehicles you guys hide so poorly they will just blow them up. Then u will be on here asking to make vehicles invisible unless your in them, or bulletproof or they are only on when your on or blah blah blah.

Bikes and ATVS still require keys to drive and access the storage, pedal cycles have no solution as far as i can see. Windows being used to break into vehicles s also a possibility as it would require a gunshot/melee attack and could still activate an alarm. This would also provide a use for windscreen glass.

Are you jokers serious? My 3 friends and I, mostly new to the game, found on a single server in the past ~5 days: 1 Land Rover, 1 URAL, 2 Offroad Pickups, 2 ATVs, 2 Bicycles, 2 Motorcycles, 1 Yellow Hatchback, 1 Red Sedan, 1 UAZ, 1 S1203 Van, 2 Tractors and a Small Fishing Boat. Also in touch with a rival clan on the server and they confirmed ownership of a VS3 Civilian truck, at least 1 Bicycle, 1 Tractor and another Offroad Pickup. 14 vehicles per server! Must be using a script! Where the fuck did you even pull that number, besides straight out of your ass? Jackasses.

This map shows all the vehicle spawns that have been CONFIRMED. Spawns that are mentioned in the forums but have not been confirmed are not shown on this map. Click here for the map! You can find pictures of all the vehicles here: UAZ Skoda ATV Motorcycle Bicycle GAZ UH-1H Huey Offroad Pickup Truck Bus Tractor S1203 Van V3S Ural Hatchback Fishing Boat PBX Small Boat

I could never just leave my stuff lying around if I wasn't there. Just today I found and stole a bike someone thought was hidden in a bush (near the coast too). If only there was a more secure way for people to store loot and their vehicles, perhaps there will be one day.

I was thinking about this the other day, it doesn't really influence gameplay much however i think it might make a nice addition.Global profiles [Forum] :exclamation: Records total zombie kills (regardless of deaths) Records deaths. Records player kills. For every 100 appoints user a is awarded a rank.EG. Basic Survivor, Zombie Executioner etc etc... Has Karma rating, for every player kill -10 for every zed +1 .Karma rating is displayed on characters shoulder, perhaps a small badge of some kind, Updates every so often. Benefit: Before teaming up or if you are a lone survivor just starting out it would allow the user to make a decision at to whether or not the other player is trustworthy. Safe houses [unfinished idea] :exclamation:Now I understand that we have tents, a safe house would not store vehicles! Safe houses are old abandoned pillboxes (WWII era) scattered across the map, or may be old sheds where users can store ammunition and supplies, these safe houses must be either built or repaired and can be camouflaged with the correct items. An investment in a safe house would have to be huge and perhaps spread the required items across the entire map? Safe houses require a key or perhaps a key code to enter.. I will come back to that last idea, safe houses are not meant to make tents useless however tents are can be packed up and moved about, these buildings cannot. Other players cannot enter and as mentioned above can be camouflaged. I always thought it would be interesting to give the players a chance to control small areas of the maps (Like castles) for clans and what-not. simply because I am tired of finding out people have had all of their loot stolen (even tho, i understand its part of the game n all that blah blah). If safe houses are left untended for over a month it slowly starts to degrade (like a normal building would) and then collapse and disappear. as i stated above this idea needs a lot of work..Clans :exclamation:Clan chat channel - Users must have a walkie talkie (Like suggested in the idea thread) to use this channel, each clan has a radio frequency.I think in general if we had a structured clan element to this game it would greatly increase the amount of teamwork involved, users can apply for clans using in-game MAILBOXES or noticeboards but requires some form of pen/pencil to mark. [Another unfinished idea] Technical - Trucks and jeeps with mounted guns on them, Requires a special mount drop, and a M249/M240.Player owned tree houses - A random idea Player owned Zip wires - Useful for players without vehicles (Given how people hoard these, this could provide a network of transport for groups and lone users). I can sense that most of my ideas will have a good counter-argument however these are just some of my unfinished thoughts..

My friend and I found a truck outside of a village and it was wedged between two other vehicles. Whilst trying to get it out the truck exploded and killed my friend. I was left unconscious surrounded by zombies until my blood went down to 600 and I came to. Looted my dead friends corpse and he had a mountain dew! Carried this until zenorogorsk and got sniped one shot clean.

Thanks for the ideas. Got a good server with vehicles to suggest?

I'm going to say no, because you have to look at the big picture. Bikes, motorcycles and ATV's are vehicles as well. It doesn't make any sense to have them locked and magically you can't interact. Not only that, but the windows can be destroyed, so not having a key wouldn't be a problem.

Here is my copy pasted post from another thread similar to this one a while ago. You look for even more satisfying equipment. Get NVGs, rangefinders, GPS, frags, coyote pack, ghille or camo depending on your liking, get a good close range gun that two shots a player and keep a high powered sniper in your backpack such as the M107 or AS50. Find an m9 SD and ammo for a good sidearm but make sure you head shot since its weak. Find the perfect inventory setup that will support your needs perfectly in any possible situation. After that find a server with vehicle spawns and find the one that suits you best. Fix it up, get it running, repair all the windows because they block bullets from certain guns, and so on. Get a tent or two and fill it with everything that you need to fix another vehicle and to survive without that one and keep stuff in the vehicle as well. Due to DayZ being an alpha the tents and vehicles like to vanish, so make sure you can live in the vehicle without the tent and fix another vehicle if you lose the vehicle, and always keep your inventory good enough that if all should fail and you lose both then you can survive. After that it is up to you to find something to do. Do you want to find an M136 anti tank rocket launcher? Collect vehicles? Kill yourself and start over, possibly choosing a new play style to challenge yourself and liven things up? Also find friends to play with. The game takes on a lot more when doing rescue missions in your car, fighting snipers in cherno with them while you try to get out safely, defending them from a hoard of zombies that just don't seem to ever stop because your ally's legs are broken and you both are out of morphine. Its a sandbox game and you do what you want in the end, but those are my recommendations to keep you going for a while and provide some good entertainment.

I recently acquired and repaired a bus but to my disappointment found it stolen when i logged in this morning. This got me thinking of ways to protect/secure vehicles to an extent that doesn't compromise certain player styles. My idea is; What if when you finish repairing/save a vehicle for the first time, you acquire a sort of key to the vehicle which can even set it to locked or unlocked. When locked, no one can enter or interact with the vehicle. When unlocked, anyone can enter or interact with the vehicle. I can tell this idea would anouy multiple people already (including myself) so heres the good part. One could possibly utilise a weapon or piece of equipment which would act as a way off damaging the locks on a vehicle. This piece of equipment already exists: a crowbar or hunting knife could be used to damage the locks on a vehicle so no play style is affected by a vehicle security system. This may be considered to tip the scale in favourite of the bandit/criminal so perhaps by damaging these locks, a car alarm would activate, attracting zombies and players a-like to that location. I believe this mechanism suits everyones play style and would be a great feature. Thoughts?

+1 with op, -make a confirmation int the "respawn" with red glowing letters saying: You are about to kill yourself! -backpack and vehicles number slots visible.

I can see where the admin is coming from but it still shouldn't merit a kick/ban, even if they are allowed to kick for this type of thing (which they aren't) it is a cheap thing to do. As long as the vehicles we're acquired legitimately it should be a non-issue. Sounds like another case of "butthurt admin"

Me and a friend were playing today and we found two Ural trucks parked up next to each other in the middle of the airfield, one of which was taken by a random player and wasn't seen again. So my friend went to look in the second truck and it was full of PKM mags, a few RPG's and Strela's too. We decided to leave the trucks because they were most likely hacked/spawned in. We decided to run to Elektro where we were greeted by a guy in an APC blowing up buildings and trying to kill us and other players, clearly a hacker Unfortunately because it was a veteran server names didn't appear when looking at players, so we had no idea who the hacker was. Just thought i'd warn people about EU8 considering there's a guy (or the could potentially be multiple people) spawning vehicles and weapons in such as APC's and RPG's and driving around Elektro blowing stuff up and killing people. If any admins of EU8 see this too then be sure to keep an eye on it please.

Dude, me and my mate is just as bummed out about it as you are. We had 2 other guys nearby in another vehicle ready to move in and retrieve our loot, but because of the restart we can't get any of our loot and both of our vehicles are stranded somewhere. And we had just spent several hours retrieving all the necessary industrial loot to repair that pickup after spending several hours actually finding one.

Spawning with one? No way. There would be thousands of dogs everyhwere and their advantages would be pointless if everyone had one. Eww. Should be an ultra rare find, like more rare than vehicles - tied to a fence or house somewhere in need of rescue. And your dog's death should be permanent too, like yours. Also: infected dogs. Rawr.

Just wanted to post an update. I restarted the server and the tents are back. However, the vehicles are gone. Is this a typical occurrence?

Technically then shouldn't you be able to siphon fuel out of other cars? Would be funny if some clan got a load of vehicles and you steal all their fuel in the night.

Only users with a non-SSD HDD are going to notice significant improvements using a RamDisk. I have a 7200rpm HDD and at certain points within the game (both SP/MP) I had some performance issues such as: :: Stuttering whilst moving around (more noticeable at speed in vehicles, more so as you approach cities with many objects) :: Texture popping (as there is no file caching, textures are streamed in real time from the HDD) :: Object popping (as above, more noticeable when zooming in) After moving several Arma 2 and DayZ PBO files to a RamDisk I dont get any of the above, it runs nice and smooth and I've been able to increase my view distance by 100% :) If you're on an SSD, I doubt you need a RamDisk.
