The shorter the off-map timer reset is, the better imo! Ofc down to a reasonable degree but since there are no valid reasons to camp off-map or store anything there OR park vehicles there, I think the timer should be very short. 24 hours is ridiculosly long, 4-6 hours is MORE than enough.

hopefully illegal vehicles will also disappear in this sweep. There were a couple choppers flying around the other day in our server... not cool.

We just had our whole group killed by a hacker on NY7, he's been ejecting everyone out of vehicles, random explosions killing everyone. A UAV tried to kill us last night, here is a video of it. This is my first time being killed by a hacker... ughh.

I don't really see Chernarus having golf carts and dune buggies, but vehicles hitches and jet skis would be great. Additionally i would like to suggest that small boats go more than 14 kmh at top speed.

Do not understimate these guys nerdish capabilities.. i've seen crazy things dones by "pro" videogamers (as they call themself) to maintain their "pro" status (like literally PAYING PEOPLE to farm for them.. and stuff like that). I would say that if someone is crazy enough to login every 6 hours to do such things' date=' i feel so bad for him to leaves he hiding the vehicles... but i would prefer to see a definitive solution: 1 hour cleanup should discourage even the most "dedicate" exploiter (maybe?). My opinion is that you shouldn't go there at all... but i understand that there might be technical limit to prevent it, so 1h would works better (or even do not save at all the position in the DB while you're off-map is even better). [/quote'] Alternatively, people can just gather 10 friends, or make friends with 10 strangers (like i did) and hoard vehicles and weapons through hard work and dedication... Why is everyone so against this?

As Lith mentions, it can take a few days for the vehicles to appear, and there's nothing you can do to speed up that process, unfortunately.

This is funny, because you assume that all of the vehicles belonged to one group, when there is no single 'TG' group. In any case, I was the one who killed whoever was firing off randomly with the Saw. The hive was down that day and kept resetting, and unfortunately the server crashed 10 seconds after I popped you. You guys have no idea what you're doing lol. edit: the only player who had power to restart the server was on the other side of the map, playing with a different group, and not only would he not give a shit about a bus (like anyone does), it is strongly against his or any of TG's code of ethics to restart a server to gain back any lost gear. Also the player you shot is not affiliated with TG nor was it his fault for disconnecting. Everyone was having connection issues that day and it was difficult to even get into the server in the first place.

Not sure if this has been brought up already but why dont you just put a 15 second timer or something that kills you/destroys vehicles when your off the map? I know there are warfare maps with this option.

I have a problem where i get small lag spikes at certain times, examples include but are not limited to: "Sometimes turning rapidly, being chased by shit tons of zombies, in moving vehicles, entering and moving through towns and cities." For other reasons, i am running on low video settings, so lowering those inst an option. This is my system specs: Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium--Dell System Model: Inspiron N5110 Processor: Intel® Core i5-2430M CPU @ 2.40GHz, Dual Core Installed RAM: 6.00 GB Total Virtual Memory: 11.8 GB Display Device: Intel® HD Graphics Family Other than small lag spikes it is running great, but i was wondering if it was possible to get rid of this small but annoying problem. Thanks!

I just set up my server, and I have not seen one vehicle yet. I have checked all spots I know of. Is there somethings I need to do to enable them to spawn?

You act like being an admin gives them an advantage here... anyone can horde vehicles.

its disgusting when server admins horde all of the vehicles/loot to themselves and there friends and think there entitled.

I am currently renting a server which is based in america, and I am become seriously frustrated with an issue which may cause me to cancel my payments to the provider and give up trying with this game. This is not another ranting post, I am just looking for opinions here. My team and I are playing quite a lot at the moment and we recover vehicles regularly. For the first 3 weeks of having our server we were able to go about our business...killing...looting and having fun. Eventually we had enough equipment to justify having our own camp...so we built one. It turned into a tent city and finally someone found it! We had a massive fight for it which lasted hours and we a lot of fun ! Eventually there was a low point in the fighting and we decided to evacuate our remaining vehicles. A group of Russians appeared on the server while our massive fight was going on but they were not involved in the hostilities. We moved our vehicles when the server was quiet and set up shop in a good spot about 13km from the old camp. We logged out for the night. One of our members logged on early the next morning (less than 6 hours later) and discovered that all of our vehicles were missing again and our few tents had been looted. Acceptable. It happens :) So we went looking in the hills and recovered 3 of our lost vehicles that looked as if they had been abandoned, and one at a big camp. We moved our vehicles and made another camp, again, well hidden miles from the old one. We logged out for the night. I personally checked in the morning (about 7 hours later) and all of our vehicles were gone again. So, we went up into the hills again and found the URAL. We moved it into a group of trees while we were the only ones on the server, very late at night. I logged in the next morning (less than 4 hours later) to find that only this Russian clan were on the server and once again, the vehicle was missing. I am getting sick of this, I know there is something fishy going on, but I cant do anything about it. We are also finding a lot of people with hacked weapons, such as PDW SD's (screenshots available with names if necessary). Perhaps the only way to stop this from happening is to shut down our server for good?

The six-hour limit is worth testing out, though it may be too short it my opinion. One possible development from this change is that since tires and parts will be needed more often, organized groups will naturally want to have at least a small stockpile of those parts in reserve, and essentially have escorted 'pit crews' that will try and pounce and repair vehicles ASAP upon discovery. Will vehicle parts become more rare due to this? Perhaps, but the idea of an armed 'pit crew' appearing from the woods, fixing a car, and killing zeds/attacking survivors and driving off does seem kind of fun.

Oh well, that's better then. We feared that our theft was against a poor soul storing his findings inside the tractor; I can say that the tractor was a bit hard to spot, I was really lucky to spot it while running randomly with pod/roberto podeira. We are totally newbe in terms of hiding vehicles so, for now, we have some sort of new objective. Anyway, I never used a M4 Holo, thanks for the leftover About the vehicles issue, I understand we're just unlucky but sometimes it's sad to not being able to ride everywhere with your mate in a car because of the limitations. I noticed those threads too, it's good that the dev team is working on this matter. Maybe in the next days we will see more vehicles all around... I hope.

1. This has been updated -> Out of bounds item/vehicles cleanup [2012-07-06] Vehicles that remain unused for a short period of time (<=24h) outside map boundary now respawns inside map boundary at their original chance based spawn points. the entire thread is here = http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=29123 2. And also this with destroyed vehicles = - Destroyed vehicles respawned using the simple method (will appear on next server restart). More advanced method will be used later (dynamic locations, inventory, vehicle types etc). the entire thread is here = http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=26982 These two threads are definately worth keeping an eye on

Yeah having vehicles can certainly mess up your play style, we hit up the coast in our ATV to grab some wheels for the bus (to get rid of it). Drove by a player looking for fuel at the coastal factory and we found his truck and stole it. We tested a theory on can trucks float... turns out they don't D= Moral of the story is don't drive your ATV through Berezino stopping at each place for wheels, eventually you'll die

I heard someone shooting while I was safely bypassing Stary Sober, so ofc I go to investigate with my DMR :) I see 3 guyz and get an easy shot on em so neutralise the entire grp, but I feel kinda sad for em, especially the dmr equipped guillie sniper guy xD. Next time dont go in the camp all at once, dont stay in the tents close together and someone should be on the hill.. just some friendly advice ;) Hope you do better next time, Redstone, Duke and Bigdake.

I would imagine others feel the same, that they simply forget about em or stop trying to use em and leave the vehicle where ever they stashed it.. I'm just as you hoping for a better cleanup system and the "promised" dynamic generated vehicle spawn I'm not blaming you of course but I know there are individuals storing all sort of vehicles (nearly all of them). In fact today, out of pure luck, we found a tractor filled with everything inside (even a Mountain Dew), at his place we planted a tent with the mountain dew, some painkillers (for the obvious pain that this theft will cause) and planted two tank trap near the tent and finally moved the tractor away. That's maybe the first time that we (me and roberto podeira) found a vehicle (except for an old bike and a stuck tractor we were forced to leave behind). But, I know, such is life of a small team (2 players). The life of a 2 man crew is not restricted to a few vehicles xD .. I fixed all those vehicles mostly myself and my mate helped me fix a V3S, 2xATV, Bus, Motorcycle and a car on another server only us a 2 man grp, untill the admin manually reset em all. BTW that was our tractor, but we had almost left it for good, we have AS50, Bison SD, DMR, M14, M9SD and some guili suits in our 2man squad now so we left it on there for backup gear , hope you enjoy. I must admit it was a very fun and nice sentiment to leave the mountain dew, its kinda a "victory" kill drink (Today 08:26 PM)pod Wrote: pickup? minivan? trucks? been playing for a month and I never saw anything like that. the problem is not a couple players having most of the veichles, it is players storing them outside the borders of the map They will respawn if they are outside map border, latest at 7 days timer, but sometimes faster (Today 08:26 PM)pod Wrote: pickup? minivan? trucks? been playing for a month and I never saw anything like that. the problem is not a couple players having most of the veichles, it is players storing them outside the borders of the map OH btw, you shouldnt feel sad that you havent tried the real good vehicles yet, 'cause they will only leave you heartache and annoyance + confusion. They despawn all the time during server restarts and you will constantly have to figure out if it was stolen or not and it will mess up your playstyle, make you less cautious, more obvious, more likely to die and you will end up pilling loot on it to save and lose it all suddenly. .. we decided not to get more than 1 vehicle untill the game gets more vehicle friendly

sad but true fact is that once you have all best in slot gear, there is nothing for you to do apart from hoarding vehicles and killing players. I know it's an alpha and all that jazz, but there NEEDS to be something to do in the end-game content or the game will become a multi-player single player game if you know what I mean. More vehicles are needed as well as actual tasks to accomplish and don't give me the player set objective bullshit, cause there will be nothing else to do unless you make it your life's goal to raid every tent camp and vehicle camp...

6h timer please! 2 Reasons: 1. Prevents daily "Facebook" style refreshing as you mentioned. 2. Opens vehicles up for everyone to enjoy, even "n00bs" like me who have a job, wife, a baby boy, and no spare time to play every day. Off Topic: Now how about turning DCers into bunnys instead of just killing/incapping them?

Me and Zeroheat control alot of the servers vehicles, we don't set out to hold more then we need but we lose vehicles all the time between server resets. After logging in today our fully repaired bus has despawned and been replaced by our old bus that has no wheels and weapons on it (no I don't know why it has no wheels). Previously our minivan and ATV disappeared, then returned a day later on a hill, the ATV appeared in a different spot nearby. We've actually gained most of our vehicles from other players, stealing the same truck twice, bicycle, 2-3 ATV's, 2 pickups, 2 busses and a minivan. Hell they let me ride my bicycle straight up to their pickup outside Novy and drive off, an hour later I dropped my friend off to grab the bicycle, they started shooting at him but he was fine, next day I drove back there and grabbed the ATV they had flipped. =D

Hey, a friend and I are looking to join a group. We are about two a month+ into the game. We are a two man unit but we're looking to change that and play with a mature preferred age 21+ coordinated group. We know the game pretty well, have plenty of medical supplies, scouting and sneaking into towns we do well. Looking to start building choppers, vehicles and raiding for military grade weapons. East coast time zone. We play into the night. Hit me back with a PM if any clans/communities are interested.

There is some way of doing that. Attempt to socialize and cooperate with someone. If you succeed, you have successfully identified an individual who wants to socialize and cooperate. Beyond that, what do you want? Magic powers that allow you to know ahead of time without putting forth the effort? Finding ways to make contact and establish trust will be a big part of DayZ in the future, I expect. There aren't going to be any magic powers that tell you from a distance whether someone is going to be a friend. You will have to reach out, make contact, and, yes, even take the risk of being wrong and paying the price. Even people you DO link up and cooperate with may be suspect. How do you know they're not playing a long con, just looking to get into your group so they can access your tent storage and steal vehicles from you? You can't, and you shouldn't. Infiltration, betrayal and mistrust will also be a part of the game. If you are unwilling to make the effort of making contact and not willing to accept the risk of being wrong or being betrayed/lied to, then you will be relegated to your existing circle of trust. Any system that does this for you - conveniently categorizes players into nice neat little piles for you like over here we have the "huggy-hugs" and these ones are the "nasty-bads" and you can tell who is who because the good guys wear clown suits and the bad guys have horns and forked tongues is going to undermine the authenticity of DayZ and bypass much of the human emotional element that is, in my understanding, meant to play a central role in the experience of DayZ. Basically you want to skip over all the social and emotional challenges and get right to "playing the game." But you're ignoring the fact that the social and emotional challenges are just as important to DayZ as shooting zombies.
