Hey guys. First off, Im not bitching for my camp being raided/attacked. I just want to sharea sad story. =( Me and my group have built up a great camp for days. We managed to get 4 vehicles and a lot of stuff. Saddly we was attacked while everybody was offline. But what made me sad wasn't the fact that we lost most of our stuff, that we spent more than 2 weeks gathering. What is really awful is the disrespect of the bandits who did it. I just got online and saw how the f*cked up we were, and when I switched my map on, I just saw map markers(don't know the exact name) saying where the camp was and some words like: "DEAD BUS FUCKERS" , "DEAD BOAT FUCKERS", not to mention some other. Finally, if they or he, or whoever just looted, destroyed everything, it would be ok, we can get all the stuff back with a little work. But why the fuck do such a thing? Call us fuckers? Mark our base on map? I don't even kill players, Im peaceful, with who is peaceful to me. I think I should stop being a survivor and become a bandit, at least I will have what is deserved. Because this game is turning into a big fucking Deathmatch Arena, where players fuck others up for nothing. Sorry for anything, guys. Just need to put it out. And please, don't do such a thing. If you rob someones camp, be respectful, they can get their stuff back anyway, no need to be such a duche.

Hi, As title really. Been playing roughly 2 months looking for semi serious group that are working towards a common goal (camp, vehicles etc). Play mostly weekends and some evenings although work occasionally gets in the way ! Have decent ping to east coast US servers also. (got mic TS3) Steam : Eeno 30+/M/UK Thx

So this is not a complant just an observation of what i have seen with my friends and how they play compared to the "old Dayz" So firstly im 15, most of the people i play with are roughly that age and i've noticed they seem to play like, well children. They joined Dayz after it reached such a high level of popularity and i think this shows. First of all they see someone with pretty gear, they just shoot, they shoot unarmed people as well, why? because there stupid kids, they see a bright shiney thing. They want bright shiney thing and instead of having the paitence to try and trade or negotiate (or even RP a steal) they just shoot and take. Secondly, they dont value anything, i worked hard for vehicles and then they join me, they always have a go at me to "just use the vehicles its no fun if we dont use them! its a waste of time just having them sit there!" My friends dont seem to understand that they are precious and a luxery to have, you dont drive it to the NW airfield just because it saves time! and that they also need maintenance. I also have friends though that have played with my since early Dayz (and are a little older) that have resorted to shoot on sight, because of the people i mentioned before, they didnt partically want to but they have "addapted" to survive. Now i was wondering, have you adapted? i havent. I still dont shoot on sight, and i die. A lot. but as i say to my friends "i die with a good heart" (and they laugh at me.) now i know most people would consider my playing style stupid as i usually end up losing nice gear but thats how i play, im not complaining about it since i know every game changes and mutates through the course of its life and Dayz will probably change even more as it moves on, but i still play the "old way" i try and help first, shoot second. How do you play? Have you given up on your morales and now shoot first ask later? Do you see shiney things and just take? Or where you always that cold hearted killer that i use to know and love in Dayz before it got a little to cold. A few side notes: I know not every young person shoots on sight that is just an example and what i think is the main cause of this new engagement rule I know my spelling is bad, its not a good skill of mine, However i did try to please dont hate me for it. Thirdly im not complaining about how Dayz is changing. =) Oh and last but not least, this is my first major thread that is over 30 words so if it doesnt make much organised sense, im sorry as well :P

Why would you want to just run around with you and your buddies? This makes absolutely no sense to me. The zombies in this game are a joke (except for their lag) especially when you posse roll. With no threat of other players what is there to do? Just hoard vehicles/items and never put them to use? Jesus, I can't think of a more boring thing to do...

I haven't seen this mentioned before, if it has then please ignore this suggestion. I think you should be able to syphon fuel from one use able vehicle to another use able vehicle. A friend and i found a truck and was joyriding when we found another use able vehicles by the side of the road unfortunately it was out of gas and we didn't have a jerry can. It can just be a plastic tubing and be a special item so it doesn't take up space. There isn't too many use able vehicles so its not something you can do a lot and it wouldn't replace going to the petrol station.

Watching SixtheDK's stream right now, hes playing with hackers, they are spawning choppers, tanks and more stuff. The streamer is using the hacked vehicles and keeps saying that he cannot stop the hacker from joining his server but nevertheless he is using the vehicles and even asks him, to spawn him vehicles. videoproof, thx to mranggan: stream: http://en.twitch.tv/sixthedk his ingamename: FloeNiggaFloeKappa he is/was playing on UK63

Hello, I am one of the admins of US 234 and for a while the server was running perfectly. Then about 2 days ago, the server stopped showing up in Six Launcher, but it would show up in Six Updater but says the "Mod Status" is "Bad". You can connect to it still and play perfectly fine but I'm assuming this is preventing the server from syncing Tents and contents of Vehicles. Not really sure what is going on, it shows i'm still whitelisted. Any ideas?

Well, since the other two came clean, I'll fess up as well. We are a pretty dirty bunch, we started DayZ trying to be decent individuals, but since people became trigger happy we've followed the trend as well. Kill or be killed, no such thing as friendlies, and trust only your closest mates. Yes, we've pillaged a few camps, stole plenty of cars, and lost a few as well to firefights or shoddy driving. We aren't bandits, just survivors who have lost a lot of trust in the remains of humanity. We haven't stolen EVERY car in the map, and do not have ALL of them either. We lost a few vehicles to server restarts when we didn't really understand the save system but we seem to have overcome that. The downside for some people playing this mod is that the vehicles are server side- you can log off, but your car cannot. Be wary of where you park them unless you have a group of guys that can cover the whole 24 hour spectrum. Rest assured, the admin are fair on this server. We have not had anyone in our group kicked or banned for any reason at all, least of all an immature admin. Read the forums a bit more and you will have a greater understanding of DayZ and how it works, allowing you to explain some if not most of the strange disappearances.

Yesterday I managed to find my first car! After hunting around on foot to find wheels, then repairing it and started driving around, I quickly realized how powerful this superfast mobile tent is... The thing that struck me as incredibly overpowered was the fact that cars can store so many items, including car parts. I'm not sure on the exact limit as I never reached it in the armored SUV, it seemed that this vehicle was the ultimate machine for finding more vehicles. You can cover every vehicle spawn in 30 mins of driving, all while carrying enough materials to repair any vehicle to full health. In the interest of balance, you would think that a finite resource like vehicles should have diminishing returns for players to prevent hording them all. The current build is the opposite, once you have your first car, finding more becomes trivial. So in an active server trying to find a vehicle, players on foot that can travel at like 10k per hour carrying at max 2 car tires and some scrap metal has to compete with other players who travel at 100k and can carry a seemingly infinite amount of gear. What I propose is to greatly limit the carrying capacity of car parts for a vehicle to prevent this snowballing effect. Repairing cars will still be easier for players with other cars already, but the gap will not be so massive. It also increases the chance that a car will be wrecked beyond repair because you wont have 4 spare wheels, a fueltank, engine parts, scrap metal in the boot for whenever you crash. tldr; Don't let cars carry car parts.

LOL, admin abuse. Pfft. I personally found that red car. It was just north of the northwest airfield in the woods between the water source. Not very well hidden. If i remember right there was some civil clothing, cz ammo, food, and other random gear in the car. Sorry bud, u just got jacked. We have def raided many camps and vehicles in the server. Also crashed are fair share as well, lol. And for the record, none of us in our group are admins. From my experience playing on this server, the admins are mature, fair, and usually keep to themselves and let us play, which is how it should be. Don't get attached to your shit, kuz your prolly gonna lose it. Can't blame the server.

This is the zombie apocalypse... I feel like it hasn't been more than 3 months or so, so there *should* be a few more working order vehicles around than there are now.

There is a post about joining the Midnight Mercenaries elsewhere, but I would like to extend the invitation to you because I think we are the right clan for you! We are semi-serious, experienced group with a surge of new members, totaling around 8. The focus of the group will be on repairing vehicles and setting up a camp, but the main goal definitely is to have fun! Contact me on Steam at .:]MM[:. Meegster if you are interested.

Apparently there's a lot of vehicles, but they're all horded by other players --- if this is true, then spawning 10 more will do nothing for the average player, coz the same hoarders will just add those extra vehicles to their collection. The dev's are addressing this with tweaking of respawn timers, and the decision to disallow off-map hoarding.

couldn't agree more with you. Having an item that is seen so seldom that it might take you months to find one, if ever, really makes things interesting. Things that are not "better" per se but just unique like perhaps a Humvee (most likely without a gun) or an ambulance as vehicles and for weapons maybe a katana, a pp-2000 and an AKM with the same sort of camouflage as the SVD. In terms of other loot I'd suggest a placeable sign that can have a message put on it by the one who placed it, and definitely a unique skin like a nice suit or a surgeon. Things like these (and whatever other ideas people provide) that even large clans would be lucky to find, provides you with something to hope for and keep the game interesting

Oo, I have been out there, I have been to pretty much every known spawn point and spent countless hours scouring the forests for hidden repaired vehicles, and have only once found a bike... for 50 ish people running around on a 200km map i think a few more would be fine, maybe keep the parts spawns the same tho

Rumor said its in military vehicles.

I've been playing for a while now and I have yet to see a single vehicle besides the bike. I have not seen any other vehicles in DayZ as of today.

The map is small. There are already too many vehicles. Hike up your diaper and get out there.

I know a lot of you will just say a straight up NO, but with the size of this map I believe that more vehicles are needed, in my opinion it would make the game better (It is awesome as it is) but think about it with more vehicles spawning in the same condition they do now would make places on the map more populated and give people more to do, at the moment once you have good weapons and food/water to survive all there is to do is to scour the map to try to find a vehicle with more out there to repair I think that there would be more player combat with people fighting over spare parts and then with more vehicles driving around, more attempted thefts, now im not talking GTA amounts of cars just a few more here and there, that is just my two cents, please if you have an opinion on this matter reply but please not just a flat NO, just NO :P cheers.

No I actually always plan on my camps being found, but I doubt it was a clan, no clans were on at the time. Hell I could care less about losing what was there, I've got gear stashed away in other places anyways but the fact is, ESP hackers are ruining the game and as far as them "spawning in vehicles" as far as I've read up yeah they can if they run scripts, but ESP hack and scripts are 2 different things. Oh well, seems like people are on the "lulz you think ur camp can't be found by anyone?" band wagon and ignoring the fact that ESP hackers DO use just the ESP hack to get gear from others camps as well as vehicles.

Lol, dude, you realize if people are hacking they don't care about your low tier military gear because they can just spawn in hacked weapons at will, right? They can also spawn vehicles. Any camp can be found. People do grid searches of the map with their clans to find every camp/vehicle out there, as mine does, it's pathetically easy and will remain so until there is some better way to hide camps or underground bases can be made.

Hello! I have a bit of a problem. Me and some friends have decided to start a server. We want to play friendly, explore the world with eachother and we plan on starting a project where we will build a giant base, filled with tents and vehicles, just for fun. We are currently around 12 people that want to create this server. I thought about buying a server from Multiplay but they said you were not allowed to put a password on your server. I googled "DayZ Server" and I read on the forums that passworded servers are apparently not allowed? Is this really true? I mean, there are loads of passworded DayZ servers out there. We only want to play alone. We do not plan on hacking or doing any type of modding, we just want to play alone. We don't really care if our server get's blacklisted or whatever, we just want to play with eachother, on a passworded server. Is this possible? Thank you for your answers. /Abstract

i totally agree with several of the above posts currently yes the game is hard and it is supposed to be hard however the ability to bleed out from the medical equivalent of a stubbed toe and the complete lack of regeneration. the human body contains about 10 pints of blood and you can loose up to 15% before any serious effects and than up to 40 % before you go into shock and require a transfusion. additionally minor injuries do heal themselves without bandages provided your not exerting your self and putting pressure on the wound. and blood loss will be self recovered over time naturally normally your volume of blood will return to normal within 24 hours however it will be diluted and take an additional week or so for the red blood cells to return to their normal numbers. and as for blood loss stopping on it's own that should be based on damage type and quantity. for example a zombie attack would be considered minor damage from blunt force and a single hit would have a maximum blood loss cap after which the bleeding stops naturally. these blood loss caps stack so if you are being curb stomped by a large group of zombies you will bleed out because the cap will increase with every hit. gunshot wounds and being hit by vehicles would be consider Severe damage and not have any blood loss caps at all. fall damage would be consider a minor damage with a blood loss cap based on distance fell an if a bone was broken the damage type changes to severe like a gunshot. basically you get the general idea i am not a programmer so i cant give you the actual numbers or severity of the different types of damage. so while yes the game is supposed to be hard and yes it is unrealistic to have fast regenerating health. there needs to be something to KEEP THE REALISM. otherwise the whole goal to keep the game authentic goes out the window along with the entire contents of your circulatory system from that bloody nose you just got.

Alright everyone calm down. I can confirm me and my group have found several vehicles all over the map, as well as some well hidden in the woods. And we have also lost some of them as well. We've also come across several tent camps across the map, and have raided each one for most if not everything that was in them. If needed i can provide screen shots of some vehicles with the server name showing. But the admin def isnt taking them, or the ones we have at our camp would be gone.

Also, saw one guy driving a bus, and another on an ATV, so vehicles are spawning now
