why? anyone knows there is stuff placed there, seriously just because you guys dont want to take a long walk to find the stashes, doesnt mean stashing stuff far away shouldnt be a viable tactic -1, except for vehicles, i wanna find me a f***ing VW-Bus

I play on that server and now call it my home. It's pretty easy to find vehicles when people put markers on maps named "atv" or "truck location" I added an ATV this morning to our fleet of vehicles stashed at our camp thanks to some muppet marking where he left it inside a pine tree :P P.S bare in mind when you use a vehicles it shows up on the map in blue for a short period and if anyone is near i believe they can also see it. Just wondering if that was me and 2 buddies you saw yesterday roll up in a landy and recover our flatbed that was left in the forest?

Vehicles that have exploded are not re-spawning, my group and I have been camping many sites for these things to reappear, and nothing yet, either the re-spawn mechanism is still not functioning so well, or I don't know what tbh.... please find a way to make these things re-spawn, Cuz nothing for us has re-spawned in dallas 50

Uhm, you only need a helicopter flying to find EVERY vehicle near by because of its radar. So they dont need to cheat to find your camps when there are vehicles parked inside it.

Around 22;00 GMT I will be logging in for an all night session [probably til about 6am!!] I wish to find others to travel with. I am extremely experienced, and really just want a few friends to travel with. Perhaps we can make this a regular thing. I'm completely up for travelling to find supplies, vehicles, and so on and so forth. I am tired of travelling alone, even if it is extremely fun... Travelling to NW airfield and being attacked by 3-5 people, killing 2 or 3 and then bleeding to death is very entertaining, but i'd love assistance in my travels... AND A FRIEND OR TWO! Let me know if you have time to spend with me! - People with most of their night dedicated would be preferred!! Gear is irrelevant, as we can get geared up very quickly [new spawners] - but I would prefer people to have decent experience [Know how to aim your gun!] All in all, I want to have FUN - With other players. Let me know! Also. Skype would be most desired. Or ventrilo, or teamspeak. - Please have one of em, so we can have maximum fun. Would prefer mature players too.

Server - UK 25 Time - yesterday roughly 4 oclock two days ago (when we were logged out) Afternoon Timezone - GMT We have been in this server for a couple of days, laying down tents in multiple hiding spots completely out of sight and out of any route to a popular location including vehicle spawns etc. We have had a vehicle with us at every camp, and every time we set up, our camp is found out within a couple of hours. We suspect that the UX clan who are hosting the server, or somebody else have some form of tracking the vehicles, since they have robbed our camps (with a vehicle near) every time within hours. This time they drove straight towards our camp with a jeep, took the truck and all our guns, then drove off. TLDR - Every time we set up camp with a vehicle nearby.. they find us within hours.

Here is a concept I thought up and wrote out on Base Structures and defenses. http://www.mediafire.com/view/?y1gi86mf5ftag6f The document is rather lengthy but for those of you who enjoy reading new game concepts I think you should enjoy it :) Also if you are interested in more game concept ideas here is another forum post on Survivor Trairs, Weapon Skill and Ammo Crates that I created a while back. http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=17556 Happy reading! DO NOT SUGGEST THAT WALLS ARE ENOUGH ( Bandits can take walls down with a toolbox without a fight ) DO NOT SUGGEST THAT BEAR TRAPS ARE ENOUGH ( Bandits now have broken legs as they steal your tent loot and vehicles ) DO NOT SUGGEST IEDS OR MINES ( Bandits will server hop and go past your mine fields and putting explosives by your tent and vehicles is a stupid idea ) DO NOT SUGGEST KEYS OR LOCKS FOR TENTS AND VEHICLES ( They will just shoot the tires, engine and destroy your tent if they cannot steal it )

We couldn't find any vehicles for weeks. Firstly we came across a bus, fixed it up and drove it up to Starey. On route we found a fully working ATV so I hopped on that and followed the bus... We decided take a detour to go get some extra supplies. The video above is some footage from the trip, I added music and text as it was very boring before, now its just slightly boring ;) Enjoy xx

Fear not, I too currently have this problem from time to time. But I can confirm that vehicles dont allways spawn in when a server restarts. Try check back later after another restart and see if its there. That is your best bet.

why add more? just stop vehicles saving off-map. Then the people who set up camps have to be a bit more clever where they put them and the vehicle hunters have a chance to find them.

I think whenever someone tries to do the "save tent" or "save vehicle" outside the real map, the Hive should just not save it there. This would make people actually set their camps within the real map and not 2 klicks outside in a random spot that only clan members can find with provided coordinates.

it's take about hour to find some clan camp with vehicles.

funny, i saw some of you guys coming online yesterday evening, either some of you were never banned or you got new accounts. either way, i was at my base ( which is a few miles off the map and no ones has ever been there since i built it, which must have been 10 days ) and then i logged off today one of my cars is missing and so are a few items which is funny, i played half the day on the server, probably 5+ hours, running back and forth to my base to sort stuff, get items etc., and i havent even seen anyone come close i get that hording vehicles off-map is frowned upon, but you guys still suck because you are goddamn hackers. maybe not everyone of your "clan" is, maybe some dont know what the others are up to, but there is no questioning that some of you hack.

I am constantly reading on this forum how the game is too hard for new players, or players in general. This isn't true AT ALL. The game isn't hard at all, it requires situational awareness, it doesn't even require much intelligence (Having knowledge on the guns is nice, but there's wiki. Being able to remember what buildings you can and can't enter can happen in time, and being able to use a map should have been taught in early school). It does require Common sense, probably more so than anything else. You can survival with big hairy balls, or being a coward, or just using your brain. Killing on sight gets you loot, hiding around a corner keeps you alive, studying a player as you're unobserved and taking a decision could keep you alive and give you loot. The thing is, this game is getting big fast, I am worried that you (Rocket) will fall victim to the mass of whiners and casuals like other game developers. I'm begging you, don't! The actual "intended" mechanics are fine, perhaps the current mechanics could use tweaks (I don't want you removing being able to break your leg, but I'd be happy it was temporarily removed until it stopped breaking on a twig or door closing on your etc) but really the only thing wrong with this game is the bugs (and it's alpha). People who bought ARMA just for DAYZ can't complain that they paid money for it, because DAYZ is free. I want to make it clear, I do not speak for everyone, but I speak for me, but I've found a game I can honestly say I love, each life is a different experience, and I really don't want this ruined like so many games have because of casuals or people who are unable to just use their head. Impatience kills people, stupidity kills people, lack of experience kills people, and those who learn from their experience survive, they shouldn't be punished by someone who's too impatient to get that experience and once they do, they will only whine about something else. Keeping things rare also keeps the game playable! I love how few vehicles are around and it's such an excitement when you find one. Keep your vision of the game and don't cave in to whiners! It's a great mod and maybe not for everyone, but I believe you to have loyal fans and respect this mod for what it is. Once it's bug free, this would be one of the better games I've played and hands down the best mod ever created. All in all, I just want to say thank you for this awesome mod. I don't usually brown nose but this deserves it, I'm just worried that the influx of new players will destroy the game.

All the cheater admins / clan have tens of vehicles parked of map. This mod has to have MORE vehicles. They should be more common. This mod is about exploring. But 99% of the map doesnt spawn good loot and it takes ages to walk.

I was also 1 hit KOed and died with 8200 blood. There is not enough vehicles in the game Good loot spawns only in handful of cities

However there needs to be a model for the damage you take (if you're not strapped in to seatbelts even "low" speed collisions can throw you out of the vehicle). 30Mph is what' date=' 50kmh, that's a *lot* of impact energy. A long time ago at a science exhibit there was this "crash simulator" that simulated something like 10kmh crash to unyielding object (you were sitting in a car seat, strapped to normal seatbelts) and danm it hurt even at that speed (they had warnings that you could get bruised). So explosions no, damage (a lot of it, and should you survive, broken bones and pain) yes. [/quote'] I specified 30 KMH, which is like 20 MPH I believe but yes even at that speed I agree there should be a possiblity of blood loss, broken bones, shock, etc. However, my point is the car shouldnt outright EXPLODE. Its just annoying that vehicles are as hard to find as they are and are just begging to explode. Id prefer if the passengers in the car died instead of the car lol. Atleast you can respawn and make it back to the car and not wait a week for it to respawn.

We have so far found 10 or so vehicles (four were in one place, we got attacked twice there so we had to leave them) only by scouring the northern and western edges of the map. I actually haven't found a single repairable car.

+100. Also spawn more vehicles. Only cheaters and clan member have them. And they also cheat storing the off maps. Pathetic. Dude sorry' date=' but are you retarded ? Do I have to crawl for DAYS to the nearest hospital / tent ? You THAT stupid ? [/quote'] No, you're stupid. You think the game needs more vehicles? I have found SO many by myself. He didn't say you had to crawl, if you had morphine you could be up straight away, and crawling is an option, it doesn't take DAYS it takes about 20-30 minutes. All the vehicles are hoarded off map by clan / admins. Vehicles should MORE common. You get that right ? 20-30 to crawl ? If I am god knows where it takes 30 min to RUN. Crawling would take days. GTFO. Now enough spawn as it is right now

Just logged in and found my ATV with everything now green! Does a server restart fix all vehicles?

Servers that restart retain the saved vehicles. If a vehicle hasn't been touched for 7 days then it will be destroyed and another random vehicle will spawn in the server. Theoretically you could have a ton of vehicles. Keep in mind that others are after this as well and thinking like this would get you killed.

Well yeah I've read of people using scrips to spawn prohibited vehicles and such.

All right, but those may be good for scouting for other vehicles :D Anyway keep looking but avoid the most "popular" place like story sobor military, there's a skoda that spawn there but it will be probably found before you can say "waiting for character to create"

This is complete and absolute hogwash! I'm effected in a variety of ways personally, some very severe from a game play standpoint: First, it exponentially increases the rates of player logins near high value loot. So while I'm playing - legitimately moving from town-to-town to find loot - I am constantly under threat from people popping into existence behind me because they find it more efficient to server-hop to loot the same location over and over. This has a huge impact on tactical game play mechanics. If I approach a high-value loot location, carefully scouting every possible approach and then "clearing" the building, I should have some assurances that I'm not going to be ambushed by someone logging in behind me. Yes, this will still happen randomly from "fresh" spawns, but the rates will go down by orders of magnitude if we make it less profitable to server hop for loot. See this thread for an in-depth discussion on the many issues caused by frequent logins. Second, server-hopping detracts from the persistence in the world. Instead of a 225km^2 map where people are traveling from place-to-place to vye for limited resources, you have ~6 "hot spots" in the game where people spend all day constantly server hopping in an attempt to gather loot or murder those who are. Once towns or camps are "looted out" and players know they can't simply swap servers to loot the whole place again, they will be forced to travel to another location. This creates a more interesting world, and a more fluid game experience. Players tend to stay on the same server longer, and you can track enemies, be tracked, and engage in more long-term interactions than you can in a world where ~50% of any given server population are just "popping in for a quick visit don't mind me I'll just grab my loot and be off." Likewise, players who camp hotspots waiting for loot farmers to login only to snipe them before their client finishes loading would find far fewer targets - and they might actually have to get up and move around a bit and use their brains to find targets instead of just sitting AFK with their sniper scope trained on the Stary Sobor military tents while they watch Netflix and eat cocoa puffs. Incidentally this also adds more value to vehicles. Once you actually need to travel to effectively gather loot, vehicles will be even higher value assets. Third, in this game's extremely competitive environment it is important to understand the flow of high-value loot and the impact it has on the prevalance of certain items, weapon types, etc. I am personally effected if design decisions are being made about spawn rates and item rarity based on the game when it allows for such a watered-down, cheap and largely challenge-free method for collecting large amounts of loot in a repetitive manner. Don't over-simplify a rather complex issue in order to dismiss a solution that isn't that much of a "penalty" for anyone who is not specifically and directly abusing the system on a regular basis. Again, a 1500m jog is not too much to ask. Just enough to make it annoying for exploiters without really inconveniencing legitimate players much in the process. I laughed. A lot. But I'm a bit scared at the idea that people may not realize to what extent the guy you were answering to ridiculously failed to make a point. IT'S NOT FAAAAAAIR !!! HAHA ! GOTCHA ! Really... Do you seriously believe you made any kind of point there ? It's so cute. I found that line very moving. I'm even thinking about starting a thread in the suggestion forum titled "Please' date=' rocket, for the sake of realism, give Hendrix a canopener". HAHA ! The difficult questions now. Well, how come you know for sure that same person has no prior experience of shooting, reparing, flying ... ? Who said that ? Oh' date=' after 10 lines of BS, now you're having legitimate concerns. Too bad they're still totally off-topic. Topic : server hoping. For loot. To backstab. To avoid death. Bad. Has to go. I won't even continue commenting on the rest of your rubbish except this particular piece, which I'll never forget : That is a really, really cute way of understanding probabilities ! I suggest you find a position ASAP as a risk analyst in a major financial institution, they definitely need more people like you.

I stole truck full of equipment so now I have M4A1 Holo, Coyote backpack, ammo and medical supplies after rougly 1 hour of gameplay. Also the truck is decked out, so I can just go and get some stuff whenever I need to. I had a M107 yesterday but I left it in the camp where I found the truck, so I will have to go back and retrieve it along with more vehicles. http://i.imgur.com/02FyQ.png http://i.imgur.com/CNIWl.png http://i.imgur.com/KdcVQ.png http://i.imgur.com/tSwDc.jpg I just need some damn nightvision goggles and I'm set for hunting in the dark.
