I've been killing bandits and most have had some assortment of the above, I only grabbed one of each because I only have so much room in my pack for my primary and backup. I say I choose the location because I don't want to get ganked for what I do have. I figured apartment building in berenzio, out of the way, plenty of cover from snipers. And I would drop the gear somewhere, take cover in a nearby room or one of the other buildings, and trust them to drop the exchange items there, or somewhere I can see the items placed before they run away. Hell they can even bring backup if they want. If the location is that much of an issue I'll negotiate. Also like I said, I don't use tents or vehicles since they are so unreliable, so I'm hesitant to drop all my gear somewhere.. I'd rather try to make the exchange with as minimal contact as possible, no unnecessary risks that way from what I can see. I have steam and a mic and Ive used other voice clients so we can keep constant communication and make sure everything seems on the up and up the whole time.

My bandit/survivor hunting has been paying off, I don't care about hoarding items while tents and vehicles are still being worked on, but I want to get something from the loot I have collected. I have a rangefinder, gps unit, and a set of nvg that I haven't got any need for. I will trade all 3 for: Ghillie suit, One of the following guns: L85A2/M107/AS50/SVD At least two magazines If you don't want all 3 Or have some other offer to make I'm open to some negotiation. Since I play solo and don't have any reliable location to store my items I will choose where the trade takes place. You can choose server though haha. Other trade details can be discussed privately over steam or pms for obvious reasons. Reply or send me a private message and hopefully everyone will leave happy.

So my whole squad was just banned off Atlanta 57 after raiding the admins camp. We stole the vehicles, looted, an destroyed that camp fair and square, and we're all banned. None of us have fraps, but it wasn't a server lock for maintenance or anything. None of us can get back on. We'd all like to know the official reason we've been banned from Atlanta 57. So that we can contest the reasoning.

Guess where I had parked mine? That's right, way up north, passed the fjord / river going inland from the coast, then back around, then more north or whatever you wana call it. Yes, people DO go up there, and a lot. I've found half of the vehicles up there. I actually don't park there anymore due to how many people go up there thinking like you.

As the title says, we need testing tools in order to help facilitate the process of weeding out bugs easier. This is an Alpha, not a release ready mod, and as such it should not be played like a released game but with the mindset of a bughunter. When I was a bughunter for EVE Online, we were given a vast array of tools to facilitate our job. We could spawn NPCs and items, teleport, view hitboxes and physics bubbles (an EVE Online concept), and many other things. The lack of any such tools for DayZ makes actual testing nearly nonexistant. What we have is a community of people playing this game as if it were release ready, and only a relative few out of the hundreds of thousands who play this game, who are reporting bugs and participating in the alpha testing portion of the game. When it takes several hours to reproduce the steps that led to a bug (such as by hunting for an item to repair something with), that is not a good testing environment, and I feel it needs to change. Consolidated suggestions: 1) give testers commands to spawn items and entites (vehicles, zombies) 2) add teleportation commands 3) grant testers more ingame information on the processes going on in the world (display zombie LOS, hitboxes, etc) 3) Restrict this to special test servers perhaps? That way people can keep playing, while those who are interested in the QA process can do their work. Thanks for taking the time to read my post.

Yea, the server didn't have vehicles enabled yesterday, it was clearly hacked...

Wouldn't work I have 30+ group so in that case I could just keep a stupid amount of vehicles at my camp. But on the other hand we do use them all at the same time so there is still the chance of someone getting them

Not sure if this is already in effect but the hording of vehicles on this game is now reaching the point where we dont see them. Ever. Iv seen 3 or 4 in my whole time playing since this mod was released. Ppl having 4/8 vehicles in their camp isnt fair on everyone else.

Well i bet theres a lot of vehicles on your server then......This post now not only concerns you, it is about you. Theres no need to have so many. Im being nice about this and your being a dick about it. Perhaps you should ask your mother if your allowed up this late to post back ?

CriticalNerd you/we now got 2 vehicles :) an UAZ and an ATV :D hooray!

Don't forget there are nowhere near as many vehicles as there should be for any area the size of chernarus. Where did all of the cars go?

Possibilty for a paper map, I like to mark down choppers on my map to show possible spawn locations and also vehicles, but it comes up as a global marking as if we all have connecting digital maps. Having a paper map with private markings would increase the use of markings and more valuable when looting off a bandit. Also with these 'digital' maps players spam marking to write offensive language.

I have not died once while making my guides, except once purposefully for the "Understanding Blood" guide. Not because I am some professional though: I have just been really really lucky. If you keep a cool head, you can get around zombies with no problems. Players are your bigger worry, as they are the smart ones (well, mostly ;) ). That Cherno run was a lucky run, but I bet you I could make a similar run again and survive just as dandy, GIVEN there are no other players out to get me. Surviving up north is the fun bit: Up north, I tend to be as quiet as possible. Since medical supplies are not infinite, I don't want to use all my morphines and bandages in one go, like some people tend to do. Tents are only specific to the server they are created on, so your goal should be to find a server that you like and always use it (I am on TX4 all the time). As for storing items, you can use vehicles and tents, though I have read there are too many glitches with tents to make them worthwhile right now, and things can get stolen. The biggest note is to not get attached to your gear. You will die, you will lose it, or a character wipe might come someday (we are in alpha after all).

I think that's a lot to digest, there's plenty more as well. Also, I have a couple screenshots here of the fires this guy and his buddies created. http://www.acclan.com/arma2oa2012-07-0400-53-22-23.png http://www.acclan.com/arma2oa2012-07-0400-55-40-16.png Shortly after everyone was kicked from the server for some sort of script error #28.

If you have interacted with your "empty" tents recently, then it wont despawn until it's not used for at least 7 days. As for choppers. No "flying" choppers are legit at the moment: I will update vehicle thread when I do add in choppers - but any choppers found ingame atm are most likely "cheated". (not too be confused with the normal spawned crashed chopper areas) Vehicles may disappear on following conditions: - after server reboot the vehicle never loaded in properly due to lag between the server and hive. (fixed by restarting server one more time) - last known save was somewhere else than where the vehicle was when server restarted (fixed by tracing back to last known position where you exited the vehicle or saved it manually by tracking back the same path) - cheated vehicle that was never spawned through database. - legacy vehicles removed several weeks ago.

The save menu option will only appear in specific places for certain vehicles. If you have trouble finding the save menu try facing your cursor just to the left of the driver's side door.

LMAO at all you people who think its fun to hoard vehicles outside the map and only use them for yourself. You guys are on a whole other level of "D-bag'ism" than the people that disconnect and Alt-F4, you guys are the ones that ruin the game for others, vehicles are meant to be found, not hoarded away for your own little panzy group to use when ever you feel like it. Damn people like you guys piss me off. (No, not you OP, your camp is still in the boundries)

I am gonna say no OP, as the second poster said I too only really play cause I have tent. No it isn't filled with great equipment but I like having a stash of tools and food/water if need be. If you remove tents remove vehicles while you are at it.

Hello, who has ability to reset vehicles on a server? Also, can they just disappear because of restart? Vechicles was saved!

I logged to my dedi by remote desktop, I've finished arma2oaserver process and launched it again. After a few restarts the server continues to lack of tents and vehicles. Any idea ?

Its funny the only thing I consider good finds anymore are. 1. Offroad type vehicles (cars and stuff are useless as they are too slow to drive around towns) 2. Ghillie Suits 3. Tents 4. M4 CCO SD But besides that it still looks like you guys had a good day.

Anybody who says its fine to put your stuff out there and says it would be "easy to find" hasn't had a vehicle and gone driving up there. It is massive the area there is km after km of rolling hills so even if you get on top of a high hill you can't see more then 1km or two. My roommate and I spent like 3 hours driving around there looking for peoples camps. We didn't find anything. And no I don't store my vehicles up there because I consider it cheating. I've since lost that truck and ATV from my camp that was ON map lol.

Tbh, no group needs more then 2 vehicles. Otherwise they are hoarding.

Urgh your arrogance annoys me DELTA they are there, the problem is that vehicle spawns are not randomised http://dayzwiki.com/wiki/index.php?title=Vehicles just check this out an go looking as for camps, meeh ive not found any excessive ones, but small set ups with tents n vehicles, indeed they are abooot.

The idea that all camps are "miles" off map is a myth. Unless you have a helicopter' date=' which are currently disabled on all but a very small number of servers, then it is completely pointless to hide your camp off the map. It requires enormous amounts of time to run back and forth, and consumes more fuel than even a storehouse of Jerry Cans can make up for. You would be spending 90% of your time in game traveling back and forth to your camp. Then your halfway back to the map and your friend logs in now you have to turn around... It's just not that common. Our camps are never more than 1000m from a road so we can access fuel and travel quickly around searching for players and loot. And many other camps are this way. I have stumbled across camps with 4-6 vehicles in them on multiple occasions. Stop crying about "hoarders" and get out there and start hunting for vehicles. They're not that hard to find. [/quote'] Im not crying about anything, this is a suggestions thread. Im putting forward an idea that will bring vehicles back into play instead.
