I'm tired of every server having one clan/group of guys that control all of the cars, some have up to 8 or 9 vehicles in their possession and it's ridiculous. They don't even need that many cars to use as transportation for their entire group, a UAZ seats 7 and Sedan seats 4(5 maybe?) and Vans have to seat around 5 or 6.. It's just obnoxious. I've been alive for 15 days searching for a car, and they're ALL GONE. At least cut off the map so they can't stash it out of the map, maybe create a hill that they can't get up to conceal them in the map so they can't be outside and are actually AT RISK of losing their shit rather than being safe and happy as can be 4 miles out of the map..

@icomrade Will have a look into it I guess, might need to hop back on IRC for help regarding it, because I'm using R4Z0R's scripts and BEC with auto shutdown in order to do my auto reboot, and the profanity filter doesn't seem to get loaded in either, must just be a config error I've made I guess :/ @Irokez The only person who was banned was you for spamming chat with profanity/capslock none-sense, you were warned repeatedly and just kept going. Oh and in regards to the video, yes you spammed that in chat too and yes I saw it, but what you don't realize is that I have barely played on the server and what you stole were the vehicles from my friend's camp, you seem to think I personally care more by spamming the same link. The vehicles are out there somewhere and they will find them again, it's all part of the game. @Asus You are free to play as you were asked to stop speaking russian and you did, but Irokez refused to listen to admins and his ban will not be removed, he can wait it out until the temp ban has expired naturally.

Agreed, this is the major issue with vehicles atm. They are all parked ages ago outside map in some location noone without vehicles would ever wander to. Currently vehicles are used less than 95% of Day Z population for that reason. There needs to be change.

Why do you oppose clans having a stock pile of gear? Building a new world from the ashes and defending it is a part of the metagame. Don't like a clan or group owning the vehicles? Get some friends together and siege their camp. http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=25451

That's cute. You banned us. We spent hours fixing vehicles on your server. We found the Scars on a hacker's corpse on a different server. We are bandits, so we took you guys out. How did you get that bicycle so fast? There is no way you didn't spawn it. You shouldn't rent servers just to treat yourself and treat others like shit. Pretty sad dude. At least we work for our gear and vehicles. Peace. Have fun accusing people of using hacks and bypassers, douche. :/

I never need to eat after a 10 minute drive. But it shouldn't be full either. Heart, lungs, kidneys, liver, and much much more are still working, burning energy. Plus, these busted up vehicles probably lack power steering. Have you ever driven without power steering?

It still doesn't help defend your stuff while you are offline. That is a simple fix for spawning but does not stop people from stealing your vehicles and loot while you are away. Automated turrets would help prevent this

The cheater affair now have reached some annoying proportions... initially you has few cheaters here and there, sometime nuking that server. Now you have cheaters on many server and you're likely to survive only if they ignores you, eventually because they are concentrate to spawn vehicles around the map and troll. Honestly i don't think this will be ever handled (Arma2 is completely fucked up, because it's so open...).. but if having cheaters in a traditional FPS is a pain, in a game where there's a sort of persistence, a cheater/hacker can "ruin" a week of gameplay or more. Atm you can only troll around, since you know that it doesn't matter how good you play, you'll die because of a cheater, so it's not convenient to build a "serious" gameplay.

We've had a small increase of hacker activity in the past few days, one nuke and several vehicles (including a battle ship) spawned in on fire. Rest assured we are working hard on detecting and banning those responsible. Thank you all for you patience.

Mine and a friends net was crapping out at the time and we didn't want to leave our ATV out in the open. So on the way to tree hiding town this happened. We also have 2 other vehicles, not just the ATV. We don't want to leave those :)

It took us about 1 week to recover all the vehicles that we have stolen from us west of kamenka in debug forest only to bring it to the northeast of the map not even park the car and have enemies kill 2 of our members and steal it right back. Not only that but we moved our camp to every single wooded area on the map only to have it found instantly by these very same people. Atleast 2 dozen locations across the entire map spaced out and it gets found instantly? This is no coincidence neither was how fast they found us. They also shot members in the group at impossible angles moving in the head through objects.

The only way to add "value to life" is to add some type of (for lack of a better word) Leveling system. There I said it, lets World of Warcraft it up! But no really. There should be drops like books, newspapers, diaries, blueprints, magazines. That the play can find, and read to become a better suited character. Leveling is a shotty word for this but that's basically what it boils down too. Your character would slowly level up after repeating the same action ex: Bandaging, Shooting a specific type of gun, and be more proficient every time he does it after. Making people that manage to survive for extended amounts of time while still being active and not just afking in the forest for free increases to their character. You would actually need to find the stuff yourself to learn it. NO PICKING IT UP AND STASHING IT FOR LATER- Although In real life you would be able too, That would just promote more item whoring in the magical tent cities outside the map. As of right now everyone is a badass Medic with flawless bandaging skill and can do blood transfusions with a flick of the wrist. All while repairing several types of vehicles and throwing grenades and sniping assholes 800 meters away. It's bland and makes characters that have been alive for extended amounts of time basically even with everyone. I don't think a someone that has went to college for several years and practiced medicine and the medical field should be in the same skill bracket as someone that just started. Once your character being alive is more valuable than gear, will you cut down on death matches and hording of gear I think. No brand new player wants to go into a gunfight agaisnt a veteran that has mastered the gun he's using and has learned the proffession of death dealing. TL;DR: Read Books, Repeated Actions, Character Developes, Spawn With Mediocre Knowledge Instead Of Green Berets.

The biggest thing you don't realize is the people that are near those towns. You say the people that are armed could kill them. Yes they could. My current char can probably make easy work out of many/most of the bandits in Cherno/Eleektro. One major problem. My char since been that well armed has not been in the southern 25% of the map. Why would it? Fact is people in those areas normally fall into 3 categories. 1. The bandits who are obviously doing the killing. 2. New spawns who are usually only taking chances in the big cities because they do not have much gear so it's worth the risk 3. Newer players still learning allot of the basics which fact is this is a fine (although rutheless) place for them to learn the basics of looting, avoiding z's, some basic aiming and identifying which buildings to go in. Fact is majority of the people that are playing this game for what it is have no reason to go to that part of the map once they have anything. The good spawns, vehicles, most of the stuff that matters is in the north. The better well fought battles are in the north where you don't have tons of groups fighting on all sides. Fact is if your in a group of 3-4 and you run into another group and decide to fight it somewhere in north more than likely that fight will stay 3-4 vs 3-4 or whatever it is to start. It is rare that 3 groups are that close to get involved (although does happen). If you were with 3 people in Cherno fighting 3 people you'd also fight the 2 guys over there and the 1 here and the 1 behind you etc. Fact you are writing this tells me one of two things. You Either need to stay out of the south and go see the other things this mod has to offer. Or if you can not deal with the slower paced north this may not be the game for you and you may want to go to a more faster paced game. I have had 3 lives in past 9-10 days. I have been in south at most 3-4 game hours out of 30+ hours played.

Well im pretty sure soon in an update that they will make it so vehicles and tents despawn if you put them outside the map.

Tents and vehicles should de-spawn if placed past 000 on either axis of the map, the idea people can hoard fleets of vehicles in places impossible to come across (unless you have a chopper) completley insane!

zombie domination... Players start at a base with weapons, ammo, and vehicles. Then they go clean the map one city at a time. Increase zombie counts and pump up the fog. Now that would be fun. Side missions help you gain new vehicles and weapons. Turn off friendly fire and add vehicle respawns even for the ones you gain at side missions. That way you get 100% coop zombie sim. Instead of survival which can get old, you have a simulation of military vs zombie infestation. You can make the server night, day, extra fog etc to make more challenging.

I have been running around military bases and camps waiting for someone to try to snipe me. I have an M24 with 15 rounds and 2 years Arma 2 experience waiting to counter snipe so called "sniper bandits." PS: It would be cool if they could make a domination version for dayz where friendly fire is off and you HAVE to work together to reclaim towns. Pump up the fog, give the survivors a starting base with some weapons and vehicles, and let the survivors reclaim towns and cities from HORDES of zombies. You could also add "side missions" where smaller parties team up to search for food to bring back to base.

15players maximum, once I get in I get immediately kicked for no reason.The same people are on the server and every time I see someone else joining in they get kicked also. Before they started kicking players I found a huge base with all the vehicles in the server and tons of tents. I looted em and stole a car and drove it somewhere safe. Perhaps a group of players including an admin got pissed and now they're looking for the car with all their stuff? Might be...However this should not be allowed.

We recovered all our vehicles and moved it on the complete opposite side of the map and they just found us already in the vehicles they had left... These people are obviously hacking and have illegal guns something needs to be done on us23.

Yup. They're all hoarded. That's why this weekend alone my small team of four friends found an Offroad Pickup, Bicycle, Dirtbike, Land Rover, Ural Truck and a Yellow Hatchback. We now have more vehicles than people. Most of them were in their original spawn locations, untouched, waiting to be repaired by us. All servers have vehicles and they're not hard to find. Anyone saying it's impossible because they're "all hoarded" are just too lazy to spend a little time searching. You will notice they tend to be the same people who complain about the other parts of the game that aren't spoon-fed to them off a silver platter. We also don't hide them off the map. Most people don't. It's pointless and inconvenient. We had one of our trucks stolen today, but even in a vehicle driving 10km off the map every time you want to log off the game is incredibly prohibitive. Especially because some vehicles don't do that well off-road. It takes so much time and fuel it's not worth it. People think this happens all the time on every server. It really doesn't. Most groups just park their vehicles off the road in the tree line and hope nobody spots them. Run around and keep your eyes peeled, you will find them I promise.

Yeah at 1am AEST an Apache flew over our camp and destroyed our vehicles and killed me. We lost a white Hilux, a bus (which we were doing public transport runs in) and a Ural which took us all day to find and fix. Managed to save the ATV and my mate made it out of there with my gear thankfully. Pretty annoyed about it though, a good three days of work down the drain. Not including the 20+ Barracks and Heli Crash site weapons and 200 slots in the Ural full of Meds, Ammo, Tents, etc etc. We were set for life nearly. I don't know the name of the hacker because the server is Veteran. Also that hatchback was at Berezhino exploded and when we went to the NW airfield earlier that day there was a Chinook and a tank. Two people were flying round in a little bird and apache as well. I knew Enigma was a hacker I saw him on NZ9 in the same hatchback on Saturday. Saw him on NZ10 yesterday. Although he's a hacker he's not a douchebag one that just does stuff to ruin the game like blowing up the server and stuff. Can't say the same for the others though.

Sup the population of this game has increased by alot and hundreds of players frequenting each server and leaving vehicles lost and never to be found again or hoarding vehicles outside the map. Also not enough vehicles, you can literally search all day and quite possibly never find a vehicle, gargantuan waste of time.

Just wanted you to know, that I saw this post a few days back, and we are actively working on fixing such issues with our server. We hope in the future to alleviate such issues from our server, and that any community that grows around our server will approach hacked weapons and vehicles as the aught to. In short, thanks for the notification.

So we have a few friendly guys together and established a small base camp with a couple of tents and vehicles, and are looking forward to getting that chopper :D Still open to Neuzugang ;)

I can attest to that. I have video footage. I started recording right after our second kill. He kept coming back just minutes after he died, shooting what had to be a high powered sniper rifle. How can someone respawn, find a high powered sniper rifle and make it all the way back to Berezino in less than 5 mins, EVERYTIME? Not only that, but prior to that incident, they would kick us off the server when we drive by in vehicles so that while we are busy logging in, they would take our cars. These admins are blatantly exploiting mechanics in order to enhance their playing. We have all decided to play on another server because what is the sense of playing all those hours gathering things only to have them taken away by admins that spawn items just to grief us. Our only fear is that the same will happen on another server. I know this game is only in alpha, but can anything be done about this?
