I'm having over 30 vehicles on my server O.o . Only 14 for you? Did you waste all of them? They should have respawned with last Database Cleanup.

First off. I love this game. I haven't had this much fun in a multi player game for some time. I am really hoping the developers stand their ground and don't give in and go the "carebear" route. Awesome job, so far. I just started, and just had a few quick questions. Or if someone could link me to a thread that is similar, that would be great. As far as tents go. How long do they last once they are put in place? How do you target another person to use the medical drops? I read "pan away with mouse, then hold down middle mouse button, then pan over the player, and a list will come up." I've yet to get this to work. My second day playing(yesterday), I got lost and was just running through the woods for what seemed like forever. I came across what looked like a camp which had multiple vehicles. Mostly military style vehicles,a bus, and a few regular vehicles,helicopter. Also, what seemed like dozens of tents LOADED with various gear,items,etc. Are these giant player bases? Lol, I tried to relocate this camp, but to no avail. Thanks in advance! Love the game!

Rocket has vehicle spawns set up to where there can only be a set amount of vehicles on the server. There are X amount of UAVs that spawn, and if you can't find one at a spawn, that means it was likely taken already and is at someone's base. I like this mechanic because it makes owning a vehicle an accomplishment and driving it around more dangerous. The only thing I would change is to create an "Idle Timer" so if some douchebag takes a bus and drives way off the north side of the map, after 3 days it would respawn.

Tonnes of private servers now, they are infact miles better than "official". I've been playing a proper dedciated one just like you would pay to host one, single private database is way better, 50 players, no lag no desync, no ghosting in and out, people who are at the nw airfield and other loot hotspots earned the right to be there instead of hopping from one server to another, heli's work, some custom civilian vehicles, why bother with official at this point? Just like dayz used to be, playable. I think once some of the official hosts/people who buy servers cotton on to the private system, they will end up with similar setups, the current serve rules are alienating anyone who want to support this mod with official setups anyway.

10 out of 14 vehicles on a server? Smells like a script to me. Any group running around searching the map with any kind of organisation would be lucky to find 4-5 of them.

I guess. We had 2 vehicles for our grp and one of my grp saw the red lada and was like 'let's get it' but I told him no cos it's unfair to others. We don't need to prove with a carpark that we are good at a game. But I guess that's opinion vs. opinion. I wouldn't ban for it tho but I sure as hell would camp the carpark to kill the owners :cool:

Let me also quickly add that, one of our member got banned for server hopping, which is abit too harsh of a punishment in this case, and were blamed for cheating acquiring these vehicles. please let me also say that as an admin you have a responsibility to behave accordingly and give reasonable punishment no matter what relationship between players and you, dont pick any side. Sincerely Gosha

Obviously mouse and keyboard is the best way to go with infantry. Where i find the controller useful in arma2 is vehicles, especially helicopters or jets were an analog stick makes for much smoother flying.

Its still not a bannable offense. They (probably) got those vehicles fair and square.

There are only like 14 active vehicles per server. So you guys having 10 of em is killing the game experience aswell imo.

As title says, this server has banned our whole group after the admin dicovered our vehicles (about 10 of them) hidden. He felt it was good enough a reason to ban us, as he saw us come back online later on, for vehicle hoarding. We now have no way to recover what little they probably dident rip from our camps, which is probably nothing as he has been having a lot longer now that we can get on to stop him and hes grp. Stuff like this is killing the game experience. Admin is Tix92, would like to get in contact with the admin on some friendly terms and discuss he's logic on this. http://arma2.swec.se/server/data/242988

Keep at least a mile away from your intended loot areas. If you plan on staying around the NW airbase or stary, go at least further than that. I suggest past petrovka, and I know of some players using the dam area because it is so remote. I know Skalka would be a great place for the NWAF. However, the best spots are those that only people with vehicles would bother going to(if you have a vehicle). Places so remote that people on foot would just not even bother.

vehicles are far more limited than everyone on dayz running around with multiple characters, muling is not the biggest issue though

i could be intrested but im already in NCR. join it. it has 30 members. and almost everyone gets accepted in clan. but there's been some hackers so we've been banning them so no hackers welcome. we got trucks, vehicles and awesome gear. Teamspeak:ts.pcrpg.org:9989

Ive noticed the spawn rate for cars is pretty long and they only appear in specific spots. I think vehicles should randomly spawn along roads or in buildings because it would be a bit more realistic and make less car spawn camping snipers and bandits love it, also making them spawn realistically like no military vehicles in farms and no tractors in cities

Hey, I've been soloing for sometime now, got a bit of experience... but I feel its time to do some co-op. I want to look at repairing vehicles etc. And this is done much easier with more than 1 person or a team. I'm from the Uk also, Yorkshire. I'm 25. Let me know if you want to give it a go. Cheers

"Unethical to run the edge of the world as the loot is more valuable inland" Yeah, the loot is in the inland but when hiding it to tents or saving vehicles for later logons one should try to find an undisclosed location for it/them.

Those things already exist when you can just hoard vehicles and hide them off the map or in the forest. A second character will do nothing about muling, vehicles have bigger storage anyway.

We "1/9-WDU" have provided proof to the Day Z staff through the ticket system. We have won some battles and lost some. We welcome aggressive action against us. That's why we are a military realism unit. A few days ago we lost 6 men in an engagement, our tents were crushed, and our vehicles destroyed. We lost everything. No one was banned and the subject wasn't even discussed. In fact, ShadowWalker ET AL has the fine distinction of being the first group of players to banned for gratuitous exploiting. Our server is a tough but fair environment. We hold our own clan members to the same standard. Our first clan rule addresses this very situation. You can see that at http://wdu.enjin.com/handbook You and your friends might want to realize that there are people who play this game because they enjoy the challenge. We don't want to cheat, we don't want everything to come easy. The fun is getting the gear, defending it, and learning from each loss. The fact that you lost 4 men even though you clearly exploited is a testament to the skill of the individuals on sentry duty at the time. These men will be awarded medals and accolades accordingly. It doesn't prove anything about whether or not you where ghosting. As I said before, you and your friends are banned from our server unless the Day Z staff says otherwise. If they overrule our ban then you will be allowed back on immediately.

You are severely mislead. I agree hacking is a much larger issue but, 1 - Players who have taken PvP damage and log out are knocked out for 3 minutes upon logging back in. That's in the game already, Rocket has said he's looking at more. 2 - This can be a bug caused by the female skin. Some players experience it, and when they do, they can't see anybody using the female skin. 3/4 - I'm, sure they're looking for fixes... this is alpha. 5 - There are no hitboxes in ArmAII, and therefore aimbot hacks DO NOT EXIST! Hacking in gear and vehicles do, as well as many others but aimbots do not exist. I know CQF's servers have taken the brunt of hackers and rest assured, Rocket knows about it. I can't even play on my own clans servers anymore because hackers love to shit on the "good guys."

I'm getting pissed, too. They're resetting every 6 hours or so, and now one of my vehicles got despawned. WITH MY BOX OF MATCHES, DAMMIT. ...weird that I'm more upset about the matches than the tractor.

I found an Ural and a Pickup Truck filled with 20+ weapons, magazines, jerry cans, food, water, etc. A week ago (before finding the vehicles) I spotted an AFK guy in the middle of the woods. I walked up to him, checked his backpack, took NVG, GPS, L8 AWS, Silenced Pistol, ammo, and left him there. I bet he was surprised after he came back to the game.

That is the Ural, which is a legit type of truck however it is usually blue. So I'd wager that it's 'hacked in'. Normal Blue Ural: DayZ Wiki - Vehicles: http://dayzwiki.com/wiki/index.php?title=Ural_Civilian Sometimes helicopter crash sites have a lot of ammo so the gear could be legit. Whilst It's not strictly "ethical" to take/use hacked-in items I doubt you'd be banned for it

How about random military convoys that you have to attack to get the best gear at.... just an idea. i like shooting things... but have it so you can open fire, and kill them, and if you shoot carefully, you can even get the truck they were in, or jeep, or whatever they were using, so that you can get high end vehicles from them too.

The logs are being checked now, requesting the vehicles regardless if you didn't hack them in, I still class that as being a bannable offence, in the last week we've had server issues, server crashes, and now an unbelievable stream of hackers doing stuff like this, all parties found to be involved will be banned and reported to the dayz team. We do our best to try and make sure this stuff doesn't happen so that honest players don't have to put with it. Cheers for publicly making it away to us
