Are vehicles spawning on new servers? 15 of us have spent spent almost 3 days split into 2 man teams checking every possible spawn we can find, repeatedly and there doesn't even seem to be a push bike on US233. Is it an issue with new servers or just ours? And on a sidenote to that, is there anyway that we can opt to take a risk and allow choppers to spawn on the server?

1. I make my way to stary sobor at night. I observe the tents for a good 2-3 minutes but dont see any movement (I was close enough to spawn zombies so I couldnt use that as an indicator for player activity)... when I sneak in: the first tent I look inside has a player in it and I get shot immediately 2. again I head north, and reach NWA from the north side... found a ghillie suit and a FNFAL ANPV on the way, it's night.... i carefully check the treelines and my surroundings for other players without seeing anything As I crawl-approach the barracks (reminder: at night, with ghilie suit, in grass/using trees and bushes as cover, with night vision) I check the treelines again and any spots that could be used as elevated sniping positions without the slightest sign of other players being here. Then I get shot from behind.... 1 hit = dead, didnt hear a thing... ah well 3. Made my way to NWA, didnt die, great. I'm in the barracks, I try to be fast... ofc I checked the airfield for player acitivity there were no zombies anywhere on the airfield when I approached the barracks. I find a m107 and it takes a few seconds to pack it... then I get shot through the window, didnt hear or see anything. 4. I keep away from cities and NWAirfield, and I get lucky and find a few heli crahes... I'm playing very cautious since I dont want to lose my m107+ DMR+... I travel from novy sobor to berezino without seeing a single player. I observe the city from a distance for around 5 minutes until I'm sure there is nobody around, then I go in to look for a tent to store my stuff... As I enter the appartements I get shot in the back with a lee enfield and die immediately so what do I do? I feel like everybody else is playing with invisibility cheat and I'm the only one running around in a pink bunny suit... the fck is going on? I really dont care about the stuff I lose anymore... I've lost ghillie suits, heli loot, vehicles .... but what really bothers me is that I never see it coming and have no chance of fighting back. which sucks. a lot. TL;DR: every time I die it's due to another player who I didnt see or hear and I get mostly one-shot without the slightest chance of fighting back. wat do?

Same here. We had loads of tents with gear on them. Some vehicles seem to do the same shit. The gear just vanishes from it. :(

Thanks to an admin rebooting the server from night time to day time our camp got raided within 10 minutes of the server going back online. All the vehicles bar a truck and all tents looted. Got killed trying to salvage some bits from there as enemies were nearby. the long hoard begins again! :-/

Even in that case, the "rollback" will only affect vehicles/tents that were not saved recently. players inventory/states are streamed to hive regularly. If the server can't stream to hive, then the "rollback" isn't caused by the server restart, more due to the lack of synchronicity to hive and is indeed a(n un)lucky coincidence. Any "rollbacks" are not the direct intention for admins, more a symptom of another problem that was probably justification for the restart.

Would be cool. On a few conditions however: - 1 C-130 crash per server per restart(maybe even a chance of it not spawning at all?) - Every player in de vicinity of the crash(possibly within a radius of 10km even) needs to have a way to locate the crash (perhaps loud explosions? SOS messages via radio? the actual plane flying and crashing?) - A LOT of zombies (as a C-130 crash would obviously make plenty of noise and zombies are attracted to this) - Loot should be rations, drinks, rare military weapons and ammo, perhaps also certain military vehicles like humvees(they can transport those right?) (obviously heavily damaged and hard to fix) Now, how I see it, these crash sites should become 'mobile' hotspots with dozens of people trying to loot it and therefore be extremely dangerous(making the rare items also hard to get to).

Hey, so I saw someone driving a tank in Cherno,and hid by a street until the guy got close enough and I could jump in. Anyway, after I hopped in, we cruised around for 10, 15minutes, and then he said "it's all yours" and took off. I then rolled around in the tank until I somehow made my way to the NW Airport. I was promptly banninated from the server. I 100% didn't realize tanks weren't a part of the game, being a complete noob to DayZ (and arma, I had to google youtube videos to learn how to even switch spots in the tank and fire the bloody thing), I was wondering if my ban could be removed? I've since scoured the wiki and know what vehicles and weapons are legit, so this won't be happening again. I just think it's a BS ban that nobody told me to get out or that it was hacked. I have many friends that can vouche for me, I don't hack, I don't combat log, and I play fair. My character's name is "ken", this happened about a week ago on the NY25 NwO server I believe.

I guess your lucky... Heres an example just spotted people in the slug bus aka the s1203 looking for the vehicles that we fixed and had stolen from us back and forth about 20 times now. Every single day no matter where we move camp it gets found and heres a screenshot of me tracking that slug bus that was full of clan mates.

If you started the server WHILE hive was down, no vehicles will be there. You have to restart it while hive is actually online in order to get any vehicles :P

Pick yourself a nice ride, steal all their fuel and burn the other vehicles.

Server This Happend On: Custom DayZ 1.7.1.5 [No-CDKey, 94103 Beta, Save , Vehicles] By Nekrus When this happend : GMT +1 at 9:55AM What Did He Do: Spawned multiple helis and tanks for anyone who asked, killed anyone who asked for a gun and shot everyone with the rockets in the helis. Please global ban this a**hole!

If you find my camp of 5 vehicles please post here before doing anything though so i can load in with my SAW + 800 bullets hidden in a tree nearby.

ONE place to refill jerry cans? Are you fucking shitting me? That would be the one most camped place on the whole map. People are already complaining about not having enough access to vehicles. Imagine what would happen if you couldn't get your hands on fuel anymore, because there would be more bandits waiting than on the NW airfield. You don't like running, but the only means of faster travel would become utterly useless if there was only one spot to refuel. There's room for improvement, map-wise, but I don't think, adding more pvp zones will help getting rid of pvp... Looking for a place to set up a fortified area? Try green mountain. It has only two entrances. A blue gate and a little hole in the wall. Easily defendable and you got a nice view from top of the tower. Y'all must be doing something wrong. I have never been shot at the coast after spawning. Even Elektro isn't all that dangerous. You spawn with nothing, so you got nothing to lose. Run into a town, find a building with two entrances, run through it, and the zombie train you've pulled will stop right there. It's so easy. It takes about half an hour to get your basic gear together. Broken bones are so much more dangerous than other players during the first hour of playing. I just don't get why everyone seems to have such troubles surviving.

Tough call. On one hand those people probably worked hard to hoard those vehicles so a part of me says they deserve the reward for their hard work. THe other hand says since only a limited number of vehicles spawn per server, there is a finite amount & as such they are hoarding and ruining the experience of everyone else. It is a true"the elite have everything" scenario. I'd say burn them all & hopefully a corpse of the vehicle remains it would be nice of them to be driving back & seeing the smoke above the treeline from their camp.

So I stumbled across my first tent city today. They had quite a few vehicles and tents set up. I took what I wanted, and a vehicle for myself. I also moved 2 to a spot a good distance from their camp. Planning on parking them on popular roads as a present for randoms, but it was taking too long. Have you ever drove a bus through the woods? Its slower than crawling. I'm wondering what to do now. Part of me just wants to leave them alone because I probably caused them enough grief. Another part of me says screw the hoarders, this is why all the new players can never find cars. So I am going to leave it up to you. What should I do? 1. Leave them alone. 2. Post the server so bandits can have their way with the camp. 3. PM a few newbes the server and location so they can try a car. Lets hear it before I get impatient, leave my gear in my car, and drive a bus through Cherno honking at randoms.

Don't worry. Admin will just teleport to your position or look in the log files where you saved the vehicles or last logged out. :rolleyes:

Me and my hros currently have 5 vehicles in our possession. 3 were found, two were stolen. At some point someone will steal them from us. We struggled to find vehicles for a long while then suddenly we stumble upon a bunch of them. Just gotta keep looking!

Well, Today me and my friend found 2 pp19 bizons, and 2 of the rarest guns in the game (FN FAL with nightvision or what ever) and got 2 vehicles!!! who else thinks this was a pro day for us?

Sorry if this is the wrong section for this, but I just wanted to put http://i.imgur.com/dfzUt.jpg out there. What's the stance on clans "testing" their servers? Having 4 clan members on a locked server smells kinda rotten... Who knows what kind of gear and vehicles have they managed to gather up during this time? Source for the picture is at http://www.reddit.com/r/dayz/comments/vzl1i/more_like_hold_on_while_we_grab_all_the_good/ since I didn't take a screenshot myself. I did see the server being "tested" last night as well, though.

Bigger maps will come in future, areas of which will be (I imagine) far more difficult to explore either due to lack of food and water, or because players (of which there will be many more) and zombies pose a much greater threat there. Perhaps there will be a military installation and surrounding region with better weapons/vehicles, but vastly more zeds. This will effectively introduce what you're seeking, without the artificiality of a level 1 / level 2 system that would simply serve to break immersion in the game. If the game is getting boring for you, go do something with all your good gear! This doesn't have to be outright PvP, you could equally go and find some new survivors and help get them on their feet; perhaps they'll join you for a while. This will involve great risk, but it sounds like that's exactly what you want with your 'level 2': more challenge, more risk, more excitement. Make it for yourself.

Hi, We have a new server and i already searched with a few mates for hours on this server to find any vehicles but sadly we couldn't find anything on the known spots: http://dayzwiki.com/wiki/index.php?title=Vehicles Is this normal behaviour? I have to mention we started the server yesterday evening for the first time when there was database maintenance and ddos attacks. Regards, Joris

Since my home server with all camps and vehicles got raped by a cheater I turned to a bloody bandit. Scored 65 murders in this life ( and going up each day :) ), but an avarage is ~20 per life.

I can't seem to locate the "UK13 Hosted by the 51st" server anymore? Damn shame, had sooo much gear/vehicles on it, just wanting to know if it's just me or is it officialy down?

You told them that you ran up on a guy and shot him in the back of the head while he was fixing his ATV, and we are supposed to believe that you were trying to help these people? Even though they already had vehicles and a camp? seems legit Arkaeus, I thoroughly enjoyed that, please trick more bandits in the future.

-Cons- Everyone rushing to the fuel stations New Place for Bandits to set up traps Vehicle build up Vehicle Hoarders Less Realistic Zombie "horde" event happens without zombies necessarily in the area Immersion breaking, should be able to siphon gas without portable generator More people have access to vehicles People compare Day Z to L4D
