If you can land 50 cal sniper shots on the generator or turrets then you can destroy them. So placement of these pieces of equipment in blind spots and hidden from view is also a tactic that needs to be taken into consideration. I know the heli trouble, believe me. And I also found out that heli certainly doesn´t worth the trouble at all (you need skilled pilot, everyone wants to kill you and it runs out of fuel fast like hell). Gear worths the trouble. As I didn´t point out - heli can be great advantage (if those pilot, fuel and other problems are handled). It is superOP in hands of an asshole as well. The idea of turrets is not crazy, it just doesn´t fit well. There are NATO weapons and vehicles, because NATO did this kind of stuff to post-soviet countries (google post-soviet nations and check their armies. 7 of 15 has nato arms but soviet ground vehicles). But lets move on to the logical aspect of the turrets. It is logical you want to defend your property and I get it. But prototype korean turrets in post-war, post-soviet and economically devastated country, just don´t fit. Yeah, they might try them out there but... they would brought like 2-4 of them... chance that they would be still functional would be low. Really low. Every single idiot who has screwdriver and can-do attitude would try to make them work and... probably shortcircuit them. And the gameplay aspect might get disbalanced. Imagine some asshole putting this turret somewhere, where lot lf people travells, and deploying e turret is possible. Just to gain kills and beans. That´s right, if turrets would be added to game, you might end up hating your own idea. And exploits? Well... server hoppers will rape them. They grt the idea of turret, find it, serverhop to safe distance with 50 cal or dmr, pew-pew-pew, profit. I am not opposing you. I want you to see also the negatives, and to reconsider other barricade options. There are people who like your idea, and there are people who don´t like your idea. Best way to make them like your idea (and not force them into it) is to imagine their position. Why don´t they like it? Just to give you some thoughts - this game is kind of MMO simulation and the universe assumes, that everyone is asshole. And stoping assholes from ruining your fun is impossible task. You give here turrets and you end up killing lost survivors in the best case scenario, and t he worst case... you just make a huge "here is something interesting" sign in form of turret that emits sound and fires at horrible accuracy. So I still believe in guerrila warfare - traps, camouflage and ton of luck.

meta-gaming and ghosting TEAMSPEAK SERVERS is allowed... ghosting servers (ie: moving into position for an iminent attack/ or to steal vehicles etc etc...) is considered exploiting game mechanics which IS PROHIBITED. as far as posting proof on the forums i dont get who you guys think you are lol. psyl3nt said it perfectly. they are following the rules of reporting and anyone not on the dev team has ANY right to demand proof. nor does the dev team NEED to update a thread publicly on actions taken regarding either side of this issue.

Hello DayZ-Community, the last few days I've made ​​a few thoughts about dayz and here are my ideas: 1.) Aborting: It always brings me back to a new level of flames/ragemode or whatever, but we can do nothing yet.........at least until I look at the new domination maps (first've only tested 2.64 after 2.61 was released), but it is apparently possible to deactivate the abort & respawn button with a counter ( but i dont know if we can stop ALT+F4 ) so rocket pls take a look at this new version and asap integrate it into the next dayz update 2.) A idea about "defend" i think the tank traps, wire fences & sandbags are very unusable yet..... whats about collect a certain number of those and build different small/middle/big fortresses? ( they must not really be big, at least such a size that they can possibly defend with 5-10 players ) small fortress = small sandbag area + barrier with wirefences around them and a small parking space for motorbikes, ATVs middle = middle sandbag area with wirefences and a few tank traps around them + barrier and a bigger space for cars ( UAZ, Offroad, GAZ etc. ) big = a hudge area with sandbags and barrier so we can park a vehicle there ( only this fortress can hold a truck, bus or maybe a chopper ) Can only be destroyed with explosive weapons ( like M203 grenades, grenades himself or M136 ), if ur dying or not saving the fortress over 24h, it will be removed ( maybe a maximum number of fortresses possible per server - so other players must searching and capture it. OK maybe we remove all those defend things and and rocket will add a few bases on an big area free of trees. 3.) 3-5 AI non-infected army bases with them: ( a small update from point b = maybe remove the defending stuff?? ) can be exists near big towns, but exists to 100% on the airfields a.) for the first they are friendly to players, depending on the murdered players u have been killed (possibly a new humanity system?) b.) there exist no armored vehicles, but AI controlled defense (I think 1 mg at each corner and 2 on the main entrance) and a safe "greenzone" about 400-500meters ( if a bandit runs into the zone, he will be shot ) c.) only players who killed bandits and dont murdered players can enter this base d.) maybe a private cargobox with 100/10/2 slots what u think guys?

Just now I was happily running around DE111 at night, just a few other people on the server. I was running around the north border looking for camps and vehicles, mainly vehicles to drive around in. I was searching around, nice and snug in my ghilli, nice vision with my nvgs, and nice and silent with my m4a1 CCO SD. First of all I spotted a bus, a bit battered so I left it be. I ran about 10 meters in another direction and found a flatbed truck with 3 tents around it. I went about scooping up all the gear and putting it in the truck. There was something like: 1xDMR 3xM21 1xMP5SD 3xM1911 + loads of ammo and other stuff. I put it all in the truck. Jumped in, turned the engine on pressed forwards and instantly the truck veered into a tree and exploded. I apologise for blowing up all your gear and your truck. I only meant to steal it. I smugly took this picture moments before obliterating your camp... and myself.

Multiple. Your character iss persistent. So if log off of one, and join another you will have your stuff. Vehicles and placed tents are just on that server.

/push Some more information about us: We're both from germany. We're using: Skype, TS3 and Vent for communication. We're are looking for a Clan/Team/Group/Squad for DayZ to: Build or join a base/search/repair/store vehicles/ raid hot spots like Airfields, Stary etc. and ofc to have some good fun. I would appreciate any kind of reply thats related to the subject.

Peeps, you gotta start recording things you do. Especially when you know you're in a situation that could turn out like this such as approaching a site with a lot of vehicles or raiding a camp!

Will the vehicles you haven't hoarded reset anytime soon, DeadDogg? I could use a helicopter. Ok.... so you really killed me...... thats really a bit uncalled for. Thats really ridiculous. Childish even. Why kill me over a post??? It was SATIRE!

Okay, before you think that this will require you to sleep while playing the game I assure you it won't. Base idea: My idea is simple, along with all the other meters add a energy meter, energy would be effected by sleeping. Leaving the server or shutting off your game will make your character "sleep" or it would simply increase energy. What energy does: Energy allows your character to remain fast and agile. The stages of energy will not greatly harm your character, they would be small things. The speed of actions would be slowed the more tired your character, as you reach the red zone of the energy meter your character would be more prone to getting sick, and scared. How energy works: Energy would simply be regained when you are offline. Additionally you can sleep ingame. Energy is lost while you move or do actions and it will decay progressively over time. Energy in-depth: Energy would also be effected by certain items such as soda, medical supplies (morphine), and vehicles. Soda would wake you up a bit due to the caffeine, medical supplies would/could make you drowsy and vehicles would stop the loss of energy due to movement. It's a simple idea that would add another element to the game, maybe a few new items could be added as well such as a sleeping bag, and maybe some old items could get more use like tents. If anyone thinks that I have grammar errors or strange wording... I stayed up until five 'o clock in the morning.

Green Mountain is pretty dangerous due to the vehicles that have spawned there. Pobeda Dam is also a water source for the people up north with fancy weapons and vehicles.

shooting from vehicles +1 weapons on vehicles.. no thanks

Hello i came here to pitch a new idea that we 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. IMPORTANT This is a serious thread not a troll thread and anyone starting trouble will be reported.

Bad adminning -.-. We had our camp raided, lost 3 vehicles, all the stash. We know who did it, but we decided we wanted a bloody revenge. So we killed them :)

You're likely to find that in real life a mounted machine gun on a pickup is wildly innacurate unless you drive at a snail's pace. Yes to firing sidearms out of vehicles, but not primaries. And they should have a big effect on stability.

better loot, vehicles, nvg, gps, ghille (all in one life isn't such a cakewalk) set up a camp, get some sd weapons and practice headshots. Surviving and actually doing things besides living in the forest is still a challenge.

We already reported this directly to the server admin but i figured I'd post it here too. Two guys, "triss" and "bae d" were spawning in fighter jets and attack helis along with tons of other vehicles. They nukes the entire coast the other night. Server was restarted and everything was cleaned up, however last night we had A-10s destroying vybor and other northern towns, however those 2 guys weren't on the server at that time (at least not under those names). I have a ton of screenshots but I'm posting this from work so I'll have to edit this post later when I get home. I wanted to get this info out there tho.

This has been asked in about every Arma mod forum before Dayz. I think it would be too difficult to incorporate the feature being Arma 2 doesn't have anything of the sort by source. Perhaps you could mod the turret of some vehicles but odds are it would function bad and look terrible.

This server today lost all vehicles and defend objects(hogs,traps). After this we walk at 6-7 vehicle spawns near zelenogorsk-pustoshka and don't see any one.

You increase your body temperature by: Moving (very slow, faster movement speed will neutralise loss) Fireplace (very fast) Heat Pack (Instant) Inside Buildings (slow) Sunshine (slow - moderate based on time of day) Sitting in Vehicles - Slow/moderate Your body temperature will decrease when: Night (slow) Raining (fast) Wind (slow) Water (Very fast) From the wiki.

Hey guys, I run a server and here is a run down of what happened: There were three of us in game. (all RL friends) We were the only ones in the server at the time. One of my friends was in Stary Sobor. He said a couple people had just logged on. I make the comical reference "I wonder where they are? I better get out of the NW airfield." When suddenly I hear... "Nope, they are in Stary Sobor. I'm dead." The two of us chuckle and the other friend respawns in Stolichny (or whatever it's called). Not even 3 minutes after his death(still us three and the other three logged in only). He sees the three mysterious players pass through Stolichny on 3 vehicles. (One Truck, one ATV and one Sedan.) These are players we've never seen before. There were no vehicles in Stary where my friend had fallen. Let alone 3 vehicles. So I kicked them with an explanation of suspicious activity. Now my friend who spawned in Stoli finds two of their vehicles. They had 11 wheels. 21 cooked steaks etc. etc. just way too much equipment imo. And to top it off, the vehicles were all green. Perfect condition. Could this be the activity of scripts/hacks? Thanks for reading! Just realized I posted this in the wrong section. Meant to put it in the cheater reporting. Sorry admins! PS: To clarify. No one benefited from those vehicles after said players were kicked. We went about our merry DayZ way and he made his way back to camp on foot.

In some ex Soviet states, police organizations occasionally DO have some vehicles mounted with machine guns in the rear. And I love how the military left their guns and ammo scattered all over the place, but systematically managed to airlift or sabotage every single one of their armed vehicles. I have a feeling it would be difficult to do this scripting-wise, but I'm not a coder so I wouldn't know. I don't see why they can't simply work on making a way to be contained inside the cab of the vehicle, and move with it, while still being considered on foot for certain things like shooting, bandaging, etc. etc. But I'm not a coder, so don't take anything I say as anything anywhere near accurate.

Vehicles are a dangerous asset, loud and big targets. Nothing you really need if you want to survive a long time :D Buddy found a bus and honked the horn, you could hear it and even the engine from afar.

ArmA 2 didn't have a radar like how there is in arrowhead. At least, not that I can remember. Removal of the radar is the most important thing. You can fly around the map, finding all vehicles in a matter of a few minutes this way.

You can modify vehicles to be able to "load in" other vehicles. Perhaps have the hilux able to carry the RHIB, and the Ural/ V3S able to carry the small boat?

Don't listen to iSayNo. Just shooting everything that moves is a stupid idea in a zombie survival simulation. Try finding more lucrative loot or even some vehicles =] Be weary of other players and try to avoid confrontation with them. You could pursue a hunting knife then try to survive on the land =]
