You have seen vehicles in your server?

If the camp contains 11 vehicles, we've rigged them all with high explosives and can track the vehicles on GPS whenever necessary.

Mature(ish) 19 year old UK gamer looking for a DayZ team/squad/steam community to play with. What i'm looking for: - Preferably over 18 membership - UK/EU play time - Use of simple squad tactics/co-operation - Not too serious, up for a laugh Have been playing DayZ for a while now and have toured the map and geared myself up. Once I got well geared I found that there is nothing else to do other than loot some more and wait to get shot. Because of this, i'm looking for a small to medium sized team to add some purpose to the mod as I really enjoy playing it. Thing's i'm looking into doing as part of a team are setting up camps, doing raids, loot trips and getting vehicles going among other things. I have a relatively open schedule and have a mic + the usual voip clients (TS3, Vent etc) If you're part of a team or a group that could be suitable throw me a PM here or add "teh_suren" on steam. TinKer out.

Id like a Find a friend thread. in the official forum. While Google has been somewhat helpful in finding charming compatriots to knuckle through this apocalypse, it has often been hit or miss in terms of maturity and , less problematically, language. i think a more formal or official friend finder system might help alleviate some of the "Shoot now, shoot later, shoot some more and when all the bullets are gone, try and find out if their friendly or not" gameplay thats on the rise. It may also help neutralise the Iron clad grip Clans have on some servers. for instance hoarding vehicles and weapons in tent cities off the map in what me and my friends call the "Forest of denial", although more commonly refered to, although just as colloquially, as the "Debug Forrest" By allowing temporary cooperatives to compete in a significant way for gear etc. a despot and their Ruling armed force, is less threatening when surrounded by several smaller hostile forces, even if those forces are unallied. You would probs get a few new gameplay trailers from it as well :P If im wrong then please enlighten me. its only a working theory. i'll take no offence from valid objections.

Well I read that after 7 days vehicles respawn if they are bugged, destroyed or unused. The barbed wire you will have to deal with yourself

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?

Okay, lets answer a bit more into detail then here as there seems to be some confusion. Pictures are misleading as hell as they suggest the server immediately went to black and show no time. I was there and there were at least 5 minutes between the restarts, the logs also showed that the server wasn't restarted for a very long time. For the restart after everything happened I'm actually quite sure that it either was a crash or an automatic server restarts which happens frequently to keep the server playable, just ask any server owner you know. Afterwards admin logged into the server to look what was going on with the crash and asked Nelis how he got there, as he said in our teamspeak channel that he walked from debug forrest to our first base (1.5 km north of road). So there also seems to be a mix up with the screens as presented here. Futhermore what also wasn't told was that "jemoeder" and his playmates have complained for ages about admin abuse on our server. Like our automatic lock system which locks the server when there are 5 players in the lobby trying to load the game to prevent server lag for other players. Everytime the server is locked because of this they go to our teamspeak channel and complain to immediately let them in. With restarts when they are playing as well they also accuse admin in teamspeak channel that we just restarted because they find gear X in building Y, while in most cases there hardly is any admin influence on the server and most are just experimental scripts we use (see server description). They found the camp with proper tactics by listening to our teamspeak for a couple of days and killed us in "fair" combat, although it may seem strange that you all have "end-gear" with just 0 zombie kills. This either suggests hacking -I don't think any of you guys are capable of that- or using an exploit to switch suit which resets all player stats and ammo. SoH as server owners didn't ban anyone, didn't kick anyone and didn't kill anyone with administration powers. Only thing what happened was that a server was restarted just a couple of minutes after a fight took place, propably even an automatic restart with 0 admin influence. I guess our bodies were already looted by then, so I really don't see any point why this restart -even when executed by an admin- was abusive in any way. Yes, like all server admins I think MrTurtleX tried to say that the server does not always get restarted for stability, but sometimes also in the night when nobody else is online and one of the ATV's gets flipped over for instance or gets bugged inside a dock. With a server restart all vehicles respawn in the proper orientation again. I think it's one of the least things a server admin can do if nobody else is affected by it. But I think this topic has gone far way out of context and in actuality nothing really happened except 5 guys getting killed and we lost 2 or 3 vehicles of all vehicles we have. I would much rather spent my time on catching hackers and cheaters on our server, find and kick disconnectors during a gunfights than to spent anymore of my limited time on this discussion. The players complaining here are known for trolling for weeks now so that's propably why an outsider will see a couple of annoyed reactions here. It's not like we hear this for the first time from this group after we denied Jemoeder entrance to our clan (basically for being childish). So if anyone would like to base an opinion on the situation, please inform yourself well and don't believe everything on the internet. I really couldn't care less if players do or don't want to play on our server, from my experience we've always offered a stable server and keep a pro-active prevention policy against hackers which I think is far more important than seeing a server restarting once in a while. It is thanks to those so called evil admins of SoH that a lot of users can daily keep enjoying our server with less worries about hackers and cheaters because we mostly weed them out ourselves quicker than anyone else can notice their presence. Have a good day, I'm going back to actually playing the game. If there are any further questions just PM me, nothing more to say here in this thread.

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).

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.

A lot of Day Z videos focus on action/vehicles/PVP. I wanted to make a video that more captured the essence of surviving.

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.

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.

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?

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!

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.

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?
