Yeah, that's what i was thinking about yesterday! A convoi, that moves across the map in a random pattern, and at night, they could build up a camp. Hard to take over, but if you manage to put the soldiers out, you will get nice loot and one of their vehicles (if not destroyed during the firefight). +1 for that!

Let me just say this: The amount of vehicles has a set amount on a map so they are limited. The amount of people on a server is like 60. If it has for example 20 vehicles then its still an achievement to get a vehicle. But if there are 40 vehicles then everybody can be driving or be a passenger in one and it would be no achievement at all and that would also give bandits no reason to attack people with a vehicle since they can get it so easy. I don't agree with this idea. The only thing that is possible is that the respawn time (currently 7 days) gets reduced. AntiVi

Lots of food, water and head to north of map. then sweep east and west looking for others' loot and vehicles.

*Server: Chicago 57 (Hosted by Ghillie Suit Goons) ...(The [GSG] guys] *Time: ~1:30 a.m. EST A friend of mine had spotted a large camp with several vehicles and tons of weapons... Thing is, those weapons weren't supposed to be in the game. So I went up to the camp and noticed someone standing there (A [GSG] clan member named "ThatDirtySlave"). I crept up on him (I think he was afk) and killed him. I ran to his body to check what he had real quick and found an M110 NV Scope rifle. Right after I took it an admin had kicked me. I then joined another server since I figured they kicked me to get in place to kill me when I logged back in... Then once I had gotten back to Chicago 57, I was in only for a moment before being kicked yet again. Every time I try joining this server now I just get kicked after a few moments, probably once they realize I'm back in. This server needs to be shut down immediately. Video: Edit: I got back in this server to see if they were still gonna kick me and they did. But after awhile they stopped... until I was mysteriously killed from nothing. Then once I got close to where I had died I started getting kicked again. Video: Good thing I had been recording, I was assuming shit was bout to go down. xD

Yeah I've had this numerous times. I've even had the one where your in a different instance, and you can see all the loot - But couldn't see zombies/players/animals/vehicles or even barbed wire etc.

I beg to differ. It makes no sense for players to communicate with each other from across the map. That being said, the fact that no means of communication has been implemented to fill the void created by the removal of global chat is lamentable. Here are some methods players could use to communicate with each other in-game: 1. Walkie-talkies This has already been suggested a number of times, so I won't go into much detail, but suffice it to say that the range should be limited and there should be different frequencies from which to choose. Walkie-talkies would need batteries to work. 2. Radio transmitters Transmitters would be found in radio stations, military camps, police stations, etc. The signals could be picked up by portable radio receivers, vehicles equipped with radios and communications equipment in buildings such as those mentioned above. Transmitters would need a working generator to function. 3. Letters Players could write letters and give them to someone willing to act as a courier. Of course, this would require players to have a permanent user name and/or address within the game, but some day it may become possible to use vacant houses as homes. 4. Telephones If players were able to restore phone service within the game, we would have another important form of communication, if you can find working generators to keep the cell phone towers and landline services running. 5. Pole-mounted speakers These could be found scattered around cities and towns, some in need of repair, with players able to broadcast live or pre-recorded messages to anyone within earshot. 6. Megaphones This would give you the ability to call out to other players over large distances and reduce the risk of giving away your exact position. 7. Yelling Similar to megaphones, but less effective, this would make your voice carry over greater distances and make it harder for players to pinpoint your location. 8. Car-mounted megaphones Players could drive around Chernarus broadcasting live or pre-recorded messages to players who have no means to receive communications. 9. News board Here would go news and statistics (as reported by players), such as reports of murders, deaths, raids and other important developments. 10. Bulletin board For everything else, there would be the bulletin board. Wanted notices, requests for help, missed connections, announcements, etc.

Also, no tents or vehicles will spawn if you force start the mission.

Then you hacked the weapon in. Battleeye will not ban a player for picking up a hacked weapon, period. It WILL ban you if it detects you spawning IN hacked weapons / vehicles... so you didn't get banned for picking up a hacked weapon.

my idea: new starting tool (radio-receiver) which will give you the ability to listen to the global channel (text only, cause voice mostly used for annoying someone :/ ) new tool as often findable as a map - the radio-transmitter - for the ability to write into the global channel in that way pple, who finds the global chat annoyingly, can deactivate it by simply dropping the starttool and the ones who wanna get some survivor (to kill them or to join into their own grp) can contact them simply. communication over long range was ever a shoutlike communication which everyone can receive, the channelbased communication should then be availiable without any protection, cause that would goin too straight into military use... the direct communication should then be changed to different say modes (as said by someone) whisper, say and shout *push* Why i think its useful? Im lonely! :/ no, seriously, we are 4 guys at the moment who sneak around and we act thery aggresive, and dont let someone get to us near than 400 metres (exept someone with vehicles if they really insist :D ) that makes direct communication unavailiable for us to get new ones in our lines :/ surviving is no problem, hold bandits away from us either, but thats a lonely way to go.... without any changes in communication ways

Firstly i will start of by saying, SixTheDK, stop getting high and mighty, you're details were passed on to the dayz team for the simple fact, you were egging him on, you talk about the fact you were interested in what he could do and thats why you did it which makes you guilty, the fact you didn't benefit from it because he shot you means nothing. If he hadn't shot you, would you have naded yourself to make it fair on the other legit players? On top of that what about the damage you did in the server, firing the guns on the vehicles, the players who may have been hit and died as a result or the buildings that collapse with people inside who may have lost gear that they've spent hours working on? You call others a child yet you are whining about being caught. You are the one in the wrong so stop trying to portray it as you are the victim. You are 20 years old, act like it, take some responsibility Secondly, HoboNinja i'll pm you with the guid's of all 4 parties involved, i will also detail which one was the hacker and you can ban which ever one of them you like. Hacking and collaborating is not fair on other players, play the game as it was intended and don't be a lamer and chernarus will be a better place

friends and I found a bike on an empty server, saved it somehwere then left and went to another... and it was stil there. then we changed server again and it was still there. i thought vehicles were server specific

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?

More vehicles in general plz. The only reason anyone should be stashing vehicles in a post-apocalyptic world is to protect the gear inside. Vehicles should be more abundant imo.

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?

I agree and they need to fix the off map hoarding too. I've been playing for a couple months and I've only ever found 2 bicycles and one bus whilst never seeing anyone else drive any vehicles on my home server :/

So my admin of my current server decided to hide all his stuff off map, well me being the guy with more time then common sense went looking for it. And then I found it! For anyone who wants some free loot, please feel free to go to 007041 on Atlanta 59 and steal everything there. This is the punishment I give for the 59 admins hiding all the vehicles and crap off map. Enjoy free weapons :D

Okay you want the absolute and full story of what happened? There was a person with Rhul in his name he was the spawner of the stuff. The reason why I know is because sadly I was involved only because he convinced us he was an admin and could spawn these vehicles, though upon reading up on it today I confirmed my suspicions he was indeed a hacker. Wally is a very good friend of mine he thought just as much as myself this was a legit operation ran by admins. About him killing in debug forest I know nothing about. The mission was to pick up "survivors and bring them to base" we, my cousin and I figured out later on that every time we brought a survivor back the to base Rhul and another guy would wait until we left. Then massacre them all for their stuff. We immediately left this "military faction they had created". As we officially found out they were corrupt, Rhul the leader would shoot someone with his ak47 and they would become a team member in an army outfit equipped with an ak47 3 mags of ammo and full survival tools such as compass, map and watch. So I am really sorry to say I took part of these non-legitimate actions and as soon as I saw this thread I knew I must fill you in with the whole thing. I believe Rhul was the only one with the ability to spawn anything, all of us were just lied to about being led by "admins" to rescue survivors and keep them alive.

Happened to us a few times stopped our vehicles to fill up, a bus UAZ and a red car then the server reset and poof they were all gone. Have to wait for a hard reset or something then they appear.

Safest way to switch weapon atm is to click "open backpack" then doubleclick the weapon you want to switch to. Also , it's a known issue that some weapons cause trambling and get overwritten. I'm thinking this is a BIS bug but need more testing. As for the island. It's "inside the map" and safe. However there's a very small island waaay out into the ocean that is not safe as 1. your character wont spawn in there (but be placed in debug zone), 2. vehicles dont seem to spawn there after server reboot.

007 is not outside the map, it's only when it's past 000 that it's outside. And we didn't even have any vehicles so don't be making up bullshit.

I think towns should spawn vehicles not just loot. bikes would be alright.

Title says it all. The number of bikes in the world vastly out numbers motor vehicles. We don't realize it as much in 1rst world countries, but in other regions they are everywhere and are the standard mode of transport. They really should be everywhere. In almost every house. This would be realism! But, they need to be nerfed. The only bikes that go 40kmph are electric bikes! Electric bikes would be awesome in the zombie apocalypse if you had a generator, but I don't think that'd work in this mod. Also, I'd suggest adding a bicycle repair kit. Bikes are extremely reliable, and repair kits are pretty simple. Just patches to repair flat tires. Maybe a chain breaker to repair and replace a broken chain. This would make the game a whole lot less tedious. My hand gets sore holding down W. I end up just sticking a pen cap in my keyboard to cruise on autopilot. If you wanna say, "deal with running for 15 minutes straight - it's realistic," please re-read the part where I said bikes would be everywhere in a zombie apocalypse.

Introduce a spawning system for vehicles. Spawn vehicles in each town that you can repair and fix. All I know is that there is a problem here and Im suggesting a quick solution/bandage to the problem is to add more vehicles. Ones that you cant just hop on and drive off the map. Vehicles that make you fix and repair before you can take away. Maybe they should also auto teleport vehicles outside the map back to a town or something.

10 Vehicles a script? Are you kidding? Either you're terrible at the game or your group doesn't search for vehicles. Our group has about 6-8 people and we have virtually all the unique vehicles plus a bunch of ATVs. That is to say we do now. Within a week who knows how many will have been stolen or blown up. Banning for hoarding vehicles is a terrible reason and there is no way it should be allowed. If the vehicles were off the map, then they should just have their position reset. If not then of course it's a valid way to play the game - it's not like you can never find them - as is obviously the case as THE ADMIN FOUND THEM. If they don't use the vehicles they get reset anyway. So stop with the butthurt.

There are plenty of vehicles ~20, but the problem is that within hours a new server they are all hoarded off the map :\ . I just got my new server running a few days ago and I saw broken vehicles for about 2 hours, and after that they were ALL gone... It's been up for 3 days and I doubt I'll even get to see any besides the occasional boat which I just blow up in hopes for another land vehicle...
