I say they should already come with all the military vehicles but for civilian vehicles you have to find them yourself.

Are helis even in game yet? They were one of the earliest vehicles I know' date=' but was wondering if they were put back in. [/quote'] They are back in.

Honestly, it's safer than just wind sprinting around the field. Hitting people on moving vehicles can be tougher for a sniper because there's more desync.

All I can add to this is, I've played in a private server with friends where we have everything and there's no threat of PVP. After the honeymoon of getting all the vehicles without problems and all the top gear without any threat or risk the game becomes exceedingly dull. PVP is an absolute must in this game. Without it the game simply has no excitement. With no PVP you might as well load up the editor, spawn some zombies and a few vehicles and drive around them in circles. Don't get me wrong, I too hate losing hours of game time to some trigger happy idiot with a small dick, big gun complex. But without that high risk of running into these idiots the game has very little thrill or excitement. Death-matching isn't really the issue here. It's lack of goals and things to do. This is a prime example of today's youth on the streets. Without places like youth centers, community activities and the like, kids simply go out, vandalize, break into buildings, steal cars etc.. just for the simple fact they are bored and have no direction or goals. You will always get the small minority who're an exception to the rule ( real bandits ). But the majority of players will club together for the greater good. Don't lose faith in the mod yet. It's still to early to make such a sweeping judgement. Lets see what Rocket has planned in future releases. I'm hoping we will all be very surprised.

Basically have authentic; weapons, locations, vehicles, and other sundries and balance or unbalance them to fit the vision of the creator. Rocket made is mod, it's his 'baby' and honestly were are just on for the ride.

We should be able to find fully sick sub woofers and put them in your car so you can listen to music while you drive. You can also drive through Chern at night with chem lights in your car and your fully sick sub woofers going DOOF DOOF DOOF and everyone in Chern can hear the fully sick chem light rave going on in your car uleh. Okay minus the sub woofer part but I would like to have a radio (if possible of course) in the vehicles so that I dont have to listen to the damn car and maybe import some of my own music sort of like in GTA.

We can confirm him being the hacker TheAdventurer also on Chicago 117 Hosted by Worlds end gaming. After we left him for dead after befriending him and him wrecking in a car of his own, he came back with a jet and blew both of us up in our vehicles. He is a confirmed hacker. Voice is recognized by him joining our TS3 server

I've been playing Day-z for around two months now, and I enjoy it immensely (just wanted to get that out of the way, this is not a complaint thread). Anywho, to the esteemed Rocket: I'm sure you are confident in where the mod is going, and I share that with you. In months, and perhaps later when Arma3 comes, it should be a great mod that will be fun to play for many years. But, at this stage of the mod, I must protest on the adding of new content until a larger problem is addressed; and that is: Hacking/Glitching/Cheat/Exploiting. This is an issue that has been seemingly ignored, perhaps arrogantly, by you; and your staff. But, a lot of the things being abused are within your power to control. Obviously there isn't much, outside of monitoring stats, you can do about people ACTUALLY aimbotting/spawning vehicles/etc; but you can fix a number of things: 1. ALT-F4/Logging out mid fight. Now, this is an issue that you said would "easily" be done away with, but it has not come. And WHY WHY WHY did you post about it on the announcement forum? When I ask where most people learned about the log-out exploit, they said "from rocket's post." In the future, please don't be so vocal about shit, will you? And for godsakes fix the fucking thing! 2. Invisibility. Now, personally I stumbled across how to consistently pull this off a few days ago and its pretty much game-breaking in every sense of the word. I've noticed quite a few people abusing this, and it can't really be stated enough how retarded this is. GAME-BREAKING. I prefer to have this shit dealt with rather than some fucking "bear-trap" piece of garbage that will probably be exploited anyway. 3. Switching Servers - There are some seriously amazing players out there that have just god given talent. You engage them in a fight, they logout; They login to a different server to setup their mega-flank on the building you are shooting them from; then logout once more - only to log back in your server hovering over your body. The funny thing is, I've caught a few of these retards in the act and joyfully shot their fucking heads off (also talked shit in direct to state my point on how they are a gutless faggish dumb cunt fucking bastard - anyways...) Please come up with some kind of reasonable mechanic to fix this (I have a few elegant solutions that would fix this and alt-f4ing, if your low on ideas). 4. Duping. Dear god please fix this before you implement bear-traps. Enough said, basically. 5. Legit Hacking - There are those unfortunate individuals who prefer to cheat the game to have fun (aimbotting, spawning vehicles, etc). With Day-z stat tracking I don't see why this couldn't be controlled rather easily. It's just going to take constant monitoring, which you may or may not have the manpower to do. If not, PM me; I'll lend a hand for free (if you felt compelled to pay me, I accept baked beans). 6. Misc - There are other things that I might not even know of. If your reading this post and know something I don't, please reply (And please don't describe HOW to do it, only what is happening kind of thing) 7. BTW - By the way. I can't really help track hackers unless I know the name of the person who just killed me. Triplesek was killed by Dumbass would be amazing. Make it mandatory on all servers. While there are important things that need to be fixed game-mechanic wise, I don't feel there is a more significant issue today than what is listed above. We don't need bear traps, we need anti-cheat. When the game is played the way it's meant, there really isn't any need for new shit. I mean sure, a fix here and there is good, but imo Dayz is amazing as is. Just get rid of all the exploits broski! PS - In the odd chance you read this, dear rocket sir, just want to say thanks. And also - There is no way to fix people killing each other. Don't give in to the carebears.

Thank you for reporting these hackers, they will be banned immediately script spawning is strictly prohibited. I have a question. Do you believe the Wally guy was apart of this as well? He was in debug earlier killing people. Devs need to help me here on how to remove these when found. We have attempted to destroy a few vehicles before but upon server restart they respawn with broken parts. I do not want these hacked vehicles on our server. I banned a few of these guys after going through the logs, seemed there was a group of 4. All banned. Anyone that finds these vehicles or hacked weapons on the server please report them to me through our website. I will dispose of them or dispose of them yourself. I can see everything. I just don't always watch, I appreciate your help by reporting them.

These are all the vehicles I have found, I still have everyone but the Motorbike :/ I had to park it up for my Bus and when I got back she was gone :( (In order of findings) Tractor: North West of Orlovets (On the west side of the "slingshot" looking plans) Cords: 119 077 Bus #1: I am pretty sure that I took this one from a player since everything was working but the engine (He had hit a tree, actually I saw him looking for the engine parts of the airfield pretty sure but I will state it anywho) NW Airfield cords: 043 050 Bus #2: She had just spawned in, completely not working and out of fuel, had to defend her off two players xD Though I had a group of 3 basically easy pickings with the factory near by! Chernogorsk Cords: 067 129 Motorcyle: While looking for a wheel for that bloody bus above ^^ (Had a dark yellow tyre right front and I accidently hit a barricade concrete thing because I was in a rush to pick up my mate) South West from Novy Sobor main road there is a lootable Industrial place, the bike was inside! Cords: 078 081 I got pictures of them I am pretty sure I will search my hard drive tomorrow, I know I didn't take a picture for the motorbike, but I also know I defiantly got a picture of the tractor spawn)

So i found a bike and a car with stuff in it both at great health in the woods...i tell my buddies hey i found vehicles (we had been searching for them and they had just gotten off for the night) we were going to get on together the next day and play...well that didn't happen, so about 2 or 3 days later we are ready to play...except that is the day the main server gets attacked....so dayz is offline so obviously we don't play. 2 days later we are all ready again, except now the server i found the stuff on....doesn't appear to exist anymore....=/ P.S the server is dallas 42, anyone know what happen to it?

My clan has a similar experience, and we no longer store gear in vehicles. Only way to keep your pixels is to place them in your backpack when you log off. Yes its an alpha, and its still the best game i have played this year...

At least you can clearly see the action here... what you don't see is other "famous" streamers that are getting help from hackers while "offline". When they die you suddendly see them again with vehicles, L85A2, ghillie and whatever after half hour, without knowing what happened in the "middle", you may believe these ppl having tons of tents to restock from.. but when you ask you get kicked from the stream. There's a streamer that were being helped by a well known cheate/hacker about a week ago, his defense was that he cannot avoid the hacker providing weapons (like this thread) .. but then after a week that same "hacker" started to play with him (without cheating publically.. bt providing weapons and stuff while they are offline). What you would do to being "famous" (or to earn some cents with the streaming donations.. lol).

Well, I think I do every kind of pvp dayz has to offer nowadays. I'm in a clan, so we roam the map killing everyone on sight, looting airfields, getting vehicles. We did set up a base several times, but they get compromised/hacked/alphaed so we gave up on it. I go lone wolf inland. If I get a drop on someone, I let them go. I'm kind of in a won position anyway, I like fighting and don't care much about griefing. If he had bandit skin of ghillie I'd most likely shot the guy. I also go electro/cherno for pvp. There I operate on kos, don't care if the other is armed or not. I consider those cities war zones. If you take eve as an example, they already had very complex corporation/alliance mechanics in place, they still added faction warfare to provide players with more gameplay styles. Having mates on voice coms is of course fine, having factions would provide dayz with a deeper rpg context and more options in gameplay. I must admit that I'm myself not sure if it would work fine in dayz or if it's ok with the direction rocket wants to take the game in. And I don't think that it's possible for dayz to archive the rpg goal of degradation of human relationships rocket wants to have for 2 reasons: clans and servers voice comms.

Hey, me and my small group have a lot of items we have and don't need, and there's a lot of items we need and don't have. To start things off, I know that trading is risky and I expect there to be a million troll responses of LOL THEYLL JUST KILL YOU AND TAKE YOUR SHIT ANYWAY. I and whoever trades with me will be aware of the risks, and I'll be conducting trades in the safest manner possible. All items we own were obtained legitimately, about 90% from crash sites and the rest a combination of other players and airfield barracks. Stock is pretty low right now because 3 of our tents bugged out and I crashed a tractor with multiple L85AWs on it. What we have -Car parts, mostly scrap metal, wheels, and fuel tanks. -M107 -3 DMRs -3 FALs -1 FAL NV sight -1 M14 AIM -1 M4A3 CCO -1 MP5SD6 -4 Bizon SDs -Multiple mags for just about every weapon What we want -M4 SD -SVD -M24 -GPS -Rangefinder -Engine parts -Ghillie suits -Mountain Dew -Coyote Backpacks I also have a few vehicles available for the right price, although obviously theyre tied to the server theyre on. -Motorcycle -2 V3S -S1203 Van

I think perhaps the vehicle spawns could be a little more plentiful, I'd been playing the game for a couple of months before I saw my first vehicles. Both times I found a vehicle I would drive off and shortly afterwards someone would open fire on me and destroy it. Seems the initial reaction when seeing a vehicle is open fire and stop that person having it.

Hey, I'm getting pretty mad at this, me and a couple of friends have gotten some ATV's and stuff, and I got 2 Camping Tent's I want to place so we can keep our gear if the vehicles explode... But whenever i try to pitch a tent this message comes up: "The are must be flat, and free of other objects" when it is flat, AND free of objects... Is this a bug, and is it going to be fixed? _______ Fatneck

Just make more vehicles. 10 times more from now. I think that'll be enough.

If your talking about the white dots/blobs that appear at the side of the screen, then yes, this is a feature of ARMA and not a bug. They notify you of things that are near you, players, zeds, animals and vehicles. They change in size and brightness depending on how close or far away from you they are.

There are plenty of vehicles. The problem is that douchebag clanners are hoarding everything off the map, effectively taking the vehicles out of the gameplay for 99% of the players. Exactly. All it takes is for one of the clan members to have a spare account next to their off-map vehicle park and save it on a regular basis ... I do think that it would be too harsh to have vehicles blow up instantly if they leave the boundary of the map, but a timer of 1-2 minutes would be reasonable in my opinion.

It's not assumption, we screenshotted their "parking lot" and posted in their forum to see the reactions^^ They definately are the owners of the vehicles. It may be assumption that they altered server time to do their stuff, but i can list a number of facts that make it at least very suspicious: -The server's nighttime circle was usually between 3:30 AM - late morning (real time, CEST). After the (i think) last patch it was daytime all day long, no night at all. -One of my clanmates spotted their bus right before it got suddenly dark at around 3 PM...it was never night at this time on the server before. -7 of their clan were suddenly online, while none was before. -After a few hours (around 8 PM) daylight came back and most of them went offline again. -Between 3 PM and 8 PM (nighttime) our ingame watches kept showing different times everytime we checked - it looked like someone was playing with the server time again and again. Yes i could name and shame them - but i won't until i know that this is not legit. I'm not going to blame and shame someone who is moving inside the borders of law, even if those borders would be very weird in this case^^

Prey tell the clan and the server, although i reckon you placing a lot on assumption here. But let it be known here and i bet you there will be a lot out looking for them and if your right some admin rage server closing will commence. I think vehicle balance is fine, I do not use vehicles much finding them is hard and repairing them harder as it should be. Now the vehicles are being swept of the plains keeping them within map boundaries and deleting if unused for a few days will help more in the long run.

I believe there is an issue with crashed chopper sites. I've been on dozens of servers in the past few days and only seen maybe one crashed chopper. Normally I'm able to just sit on one server and find five or six quite easily. It appears that some people are having issues with their tents/vehicles not spawning into the server (as have a friend and I). Obviously people steal/destroy bases but I'm thinking there's a connection with our site (and others) not being there and the crashed choppers not being there on any server I've been to in days.

Find vehicles with my L85 thermal function quite a bit. Not the most practical for everyone, but it works. Helicopters also offer a radar for vehicles.

My first kill I felt bad and thought that I shouldn't of done that. 16, shoot on sight. Don't care, they will kill me if I don't shoot first. Unarmed? Don't care, could come back and kill me. Blood-lust feeds my frenzy. Love to kill. Value vehicles to a certain extent, they are pretty easy to find again. Found a ATV tonight and my friend blew it up thinking he could get some air. Was annoyed, but not mad. Lost a ghillie suit, cz, and some other stuff. We already both have ghillies and an extra camo. At one point I was a friendly guy, then I got killed by people I thought were friendly. After it blew up we went to NW, found nothing in one barracks yet the other contained 2 m16 acogs and a m4a1 holo grenade launcher. Also had a helicopter with a FAL nv. So tonight we blew up someones ATV and found some nice loot. Overall, good night. Sorry to tell my life story.
