"I think the admin of FR10 is cheating buy spawning vehicles and teleporting/spawning everywhere." Don't be silly, server admins cannot spawn vehicles without using "hacks", in which case it doesn't matter if they are "admins" or not, they are hackers. please can you people stop making unfounded accusations against the people hosting servers for you to play on! "ps: the Hummer with remote control and the 2 black heli with gatling (same type as crashed heli) can't spawn without a command, so there is someone cheating, and if the admin is not blind he IS the cheater." You would be suprised at how little is actually logged in regards to cheats. You need to know EXACTLY the command they are using to spawn the vehicles in order to catch it. It got easier with the last round of hacks because they were made publicly available, as defenses increase in complexity so do the hacks. stop being a child and accusing the admins ;)

Hi I recently rented a DayZ server from Multiplay. I know theyre new at DayZ but still. Anyways I have just got the server up and running but since I live in the UK it is set to UK time. I would like to change this so I get at least a few more hours of daytime to play in after I get home from work. I cannot see any way to do this in the server.cfg. Also since it is a brand new server the vehicles should have spawned upon startup? But none have been found so far. How do I configure these? SOrry if these have been answered before but I did spend time searching the forums before I posted. Thanks for your help! James Another thing I have noticed is there are no loot spawns (searched cherno), and the zombie count is very low. Thanks again :)

Ok so im no noob to days(been playing for like 2 months)im looking for people to play with as none of my Friends currently play DayZ, Preferably people from the UK ... With the time zone, Ping & The fact that i mostly play in UK servers and so on, I have a mic, I have Skype, Ventrilo & TS3 available.(im open to other sources of voice contact too) Now im 32 years old & have a family & work so i can usually only get on after after 8pm(UK time)but after 8pm im usually playing for a good few hours most nights, I like to do all kinds in dayz, From looting large city's, Small town & villages and also just exploring the map in general looking for vehicles & deer stands etc. Now im usually a friendly person & would prefer not to shoot on site but if i bump into somebody i think maybe a thread i wouldn't hesitate to take them down. I'm from the north east of England, I'm a guy who likes to drink a few lagers on a weekend and play games(ATM its DayZ) ... I ain't gonna lie i swear quite a bit lol but im not a threatening kind of guy, Its just in general banter, I would much prefer to enjoy and have a laugh playing games than i would be serious. I would prefer you to be 18+ ... It would be great if we could get a little group going here, I would even be happy if i met just one person to group with lol. :) If anybody likes the sounds of this hit me up. Looking forward to hearing from you. ;) Oh & i also don't want people who are gonna complain about dying or moan about bugs lol.

I guess that depends... If we don't have any vehicles on '64 we can make a straight transition to '104' date=' but if we do have vehicles we should go ahead and plan this run on '64. [/quote'] And by that he means Seattle 64. Still running for 2 more hours!

I will agree that there is a PvP problem, although it's not nearly as bad as the whiners make it seem. I do not agree with your perk based solution, however. I believe the PvP problem stems from a couple of things that can easily be fixed. 1. Military loot - There's too much of it, and I don't know how anyone could deny it. Remove military loot spawns from fire houses and deer stands. Lower the spawn rate of all other military loot spawns by 50% or so. 2. Giving players a reason to explore - Right now, we have 0 reason to run around in a forest other than the hope of finding a group's camp. The fix is simple. Use a crashed helicopter-like event that drops supplies not only in forests, but around the entire map. Threads have been made suggesting loot washing up on shore, crashed food trucks/ambulances/military vehicles/boats, etc. Also in this category would be giving players a reason to go into small towns. Small towns are a waste of map space right now. It's been said in many topics, but just add some loot spawns on the road/in front of buildings. This way, if someone is looking to hit up a town for food/water, they don't have to bypass 3-4 small towns in order to hit a medium/large town. 3. Give geared players something to do - So, here's a situation that many players find themselves in. I have a good gun, plenty of ammo and food/water/medical supplies. I don't need to hit up NWA/NEA/deer stands or Stary unless I want to hoard loot and put it in a tent. If I don't want to hoard, I can either wander aimlessly in search of a vehicle, run around the wilderness and enjoy the view or go and kill people. Killing people seems to be the popular mindset of most players. Give geared players something to do and you'll see less DMR wielding clowns sniping freshly spawned players near Cap Golova. To recap: Less military loot floating around means more time finding it, which in turn means less geared players hunting people down in Cherno/Elektro. More loot spawns in small towns and random events across the map means less geared players hunting people down in Cherno/Elektro. Giving geared players more reasons to stay away from Cherno/Elektro is self explanatory.

1. You saved the vehicles when you arrived at your camp? If not, they probably respawned back where you stole them. 2. The tent is destroyed, but I believe the gear inside it stays on the ground for a while then despawns. Before the recent patch, levelled tents would respawn back intact, but I think that's fixed now.

A few more vehicles w/faster respawns (if destroyed) and somehow keeping them on map would make it a hell of a lot easier to find.

Vehicles need to respawn, I haven't ever seen one, ever. They aren't THAT game-changing that they need to be some of the rarest things in the game that only clans have because they hoard them. It isn't fair, basically. It would add a lot more depth to the game if vehicles of every kind were more available to Survivors. Something like a 2 - 3 hour respawn for vehicles would be great, so clans can take what they want since they aren't going to stop, and vehicles will still be around for everyone else so they can enjoy the game more, even if it means lots of the same vehicle spawn are on the server. That's what needs to happen, if someone had watched my entire experience on DayZ, they would think this game didn't have any vehicles, because I have never seen one spawned or being driven. Atleast put a Bicycle in each town, a few more instantly-drivable tractors on farms and near barns / in fields. And spread a few instantly drivable dirt bikes and ATV's throughout the wilderness, deep inside forests. It would be nice to get around a little faster, or have the option to do so without needing a clan in order to steal them for personal use. -__- Make vehicles less rare in my books.

Seems pretty unfair that clans and server admins have such power over vehicles. Perhaps they should spawn randomly like heli crash sites at random times. Anyways, thanks for the replys. I guess I'll just forget about the vehicle search for now...even tho that's my nr 1. consern atm.

Did a search in the forums to see if this idea was suggested before, and since I didn't find anything, figured it would be worth submitting to spark some conversation. If anyone has any valid feedback I'll try to monitor the thread and keep a concise list of updates here in the primary post. Furthermore, if this idea was already suggested please let me know and I'll link over to that thread to give credit where it's due. *** The suggestion *** First, watch this video. Now, here's the concept: every (X) amount of time, slightly randomized so that it's not clockwork, an "emission" occurs across the entire Chenarus map. The emission itself happens after a visible and audible warm-up period (usually rumbling and red skies) which lasted about a minute or so, and could be adjusted for DayZ appropriately for balance. The player would have to run indoors in order to avoid being killed. Now while the emission in the video above for Stalker was based on psychic emissions which can kill the player, that mechanic obviously won't work for Day-Z. I'm primarily concerned with the effect and not so much with the backstory, but we could call it a nuclear power plant ejection of fallout, some sort of plague-storm, I don't know - you get the point. *** How this would enhance the game *** While playing last night I ran into a building, and as always, was checking every room to make sure that I was alone. It occurred to me: what would happen if some environmental, map-wide factor forced all players to run like hell to a form of shelter? What if this happened in the NW airfield? All the sudden there's a massive face-off in the fire station or control tower or barracks as people flee the carnage outside. Or maybe they negotiate a cease-fire under those conditions over voice chat (unlikely, I know): but it would force people at certain times to group together in a very uncomfortable manner. People running through the wilderness would have to stick somewhat close to a form of shelter unless they knew an omission occurred recently. People running in terror would also attract a wave of zombies as they flee to shelter, so as soon as they get in they'd have to deal with the incoming horde in their wake. *** Some questions regarding balance *** - A tent as a form of shelter? - A vehicle as a form of shelter? (bicycles, ATVs, motorcycles, boats would not apply) - Airborne vehicles would crash once the emission begins? - Infected left outside die during an emission? (Would had an interesting "reward" factor to emissions, but with a twist - you could run to high-loot areas, but you'd probably encounter others doing the exact same thing) - As soon as an emission begins to warm up all players get the "shock" status applied to them to deter people from simply quitting to avoid the effects - The effect itself: maybe a ridiculous amount of lightning? I know it scares the bejeezus out of me at night when I'm not expecting it, so having it happen in high volume without any rain might be indicative enough to run like hell. *** Other comments *** None so far; let's hear what you have to say! Even if people think this is a shitty idea I'd love to hear something constructive and mature about why they think that; that way we can at least make a complete thread with all intelligent pros/cons for others in the future should they decide to revisit this idea.

Day 0 - We got with friends two (2) ATVs. Day 1 - Someone stole them. Day 2 - Managed to get V3S Civilian. Day 3 - We lost it in 4 hour battle with the half of server apparently being a clan. Day 4 - Found a bicycle and an old hatchback . Day 5 - Driving on an old hatchback, I found a tractor, another ATV and bicycle. Day 6 - We lost f&£*ing everything due to server restart. Day 7 - Got LADA, or at least a car, that looks like LADA. Day 8 - Lost it due to another restart. So don't worry, there are vehicles & idiots who leave them in easy-to-spot places, and they can be found, for sure. We play on European server, but I'll not say on which. So I think vehicle rates and rotation are good, just would be good to add some more bicycle spawns, and maybe some bicycle-bike hybrid spawns (so called mopeds).

So me and some friends just raided a tent city with over a dozen tents. We also found 2 cargo trucks and a pickup near the city which we took back to our base with us. Upon arriving at base we began unloading some of the gear into tents. We were doing this for easily 20+ minutes. Then, the server restarted. When we had returned, as soon as the server was unlocked, all 3 vehicles were gone. We checked tents to verify that the loot we had gathered was still there, and it was. So 2 questions, 1. What happened to the trucks? 2. What happens when you flatten a tent?

I have seen 1 vehicle in 7 days and I play about 5/6 hours a day at the moment. That suggests to me that the vehicles on the Europe servers are hoarded away and also on the USA servers. Nice.....

Yes, I've had to move servers because of this, and also, his use of battleye chat to question if I stole his vehicles. This I believe is unfair, and outside the spirit of the game, because I cannot ask other players the same question if they had stolen mine. I've been trying to desperately try an move my items and tents off-server since lately Chicago 34 has been offline more than on. P.S. To answer Padre Patrol's (Admin) question. Yes I stole you vehicles. I had 10 that I lost due to the move because of your bad admining and being a sore loser. http://i.imgur.com/GKSxk.jpg How did I know they were yours? Well, since after I found someone in battleye asked me If I did, I assumed they were yours. A friend of mine was also asked after we found another group of vehicles.

Around 3 days ago I was playing on NY68 and we come across a huge tent camp. At the camp there are also many vehicles stashed. We decide to steal a lot of things and load it into the offroad. I was messing around with some grenades I found and accidently killed my friend. After that I was loading up the jeep when I suddenly hear gunshots. I start to run away but I'm hit in the leg. With my legs broken I turn around and see the guy crouching at a tree in the distance. I unload probably 15 rounds of my fal at him and I hear the shooting stop. I'm bleeding and about to die so i use this time to eat a cooked meat and bandage myself. After I'm no longer dieing I take the time to shoot in his direction some more even though I can no longer see him. I shoot at the brush he was standing by. After about 10 or more shots I see a message that somebody has died. Right after I get a message saying you have been kicked. I come back and I have shock for 5 minutes. I get back up and eat the meat from one of the tents to heal up and use morphine. I get in the offroad and drive away. 2 minutes later I see another message saying I have been kicked. Now I get kicked every time I join the server so I assume that I'm banned. I don't know the admins name because he never said anything to me. I wasn't recording or anything because I didnt think I would have problems with admin abuse. Can the admins please come forward and unban me?

they're out there still, basically, the newer the server the better your chances. not every server has had all their vehicles hoarded, i've found a couple off road pick up trucks, multiple atvs, etc. since i just run solo now i have a few different servers i play on and i just hop from server to server, depending what i have stashed where. just be patient, you'll find something somewhere. there's vehicle spawns that aren't listed on any maps or the wiki, too, so just keep your eyes peeled. people abandon bikes pretty frequently at least.

There isn't a PvP problem. The only problem is you think there is a PvP problem. You all want to encourage people to play in a group? Lead by example. Get a group of people and stick together. More people will follow. You are trying to balance a game that starts you off with nothing, against great odds, and your success is completely dependent on how you choose to survive in a completely open world. Everyone has access to all the same gear. Everyone can go to all the same places. Everyone can use the same vehicles. Your survival is based on the choices you make. If you think there is a PvP problem, you are making the wrong choices. You want people to seek others out and offer medical help? There is a giant group of people that do this already. There's a huge post on the forums advertising their assistance if it is needed. http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=4581 People play the game how they want. If you want to play the game a certain way, you need to figure out how you need to play the game in order to play like that. How you play doesn't always go hand in hand with how you want to play. I highly suggest you read this thread to find your missing "incentives" to teamwork. http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=10189

Seattle 29 used to be the home of me and many of my friends. We had a base with 2 atvs, 2 tractors, 4 tents and a pick up truck. Along with various supplies. We logged in today to find the base entirely gone. Not just all the vehicles stolen and tents flattented, everything was just gone. I don't know what caused this but I would like the issue resolved. I am 100% sure it was not an act of someone taking our stuff because the tents are not flattened they are entirely gone. Bump I would like some action taken or an explanation given. I am sorry I can't give a good screenshot but honestly what would it be of? Everything is gone.

Thanks ! Some servers restart every 8 hours. Does that mean the vehicles respawns also every 8 hours? Or only those that blowed up / hidden not used ? So if I park away vehicles I will get infinite amount of them or how ?

Perhaps a system like the first Dungeon Siege. The more of one thing you do, the better at it you get. Maybe if you hunt a lot animals will spawn more frequently around your character. If you repair many vehicles, your chances of finding parts increases. That would be subtle and only affect your game play, not others. Horse

I add my personnal experience with FR10 server. Yesterday I found a camp with 5 tents, 3 helis: (1 huey, 2 black heli with gatling guns) and 2 hummers with grenade launcher operated from the inside of the vehicle. I took all the stuff from the tent and put it in the Hummer, and before leaving i destroyed all vehicles remaining (3 heli, 1 hummer). Today i logued in and i found 30 sec later a guy poping in the middle of nowhere 50 meters in front of me, i was proned, BEHIND him, but he shot me 5 sec after spawning. i Managed to survive buy hiding then leaving the server but when i was back he spawned ON ME. i insist, he spawned ON my proned toon and shot me down. I think the admin of FR10 is cheating buy spawning vehicles and teleporting/spawning everywhere. I checked the battle-eye is protecting DAYZ from script users, but i think admins can spawn everything they want. Anyone can take an action ? ps: the Hummer with remote control and the 2 black heli with gatling (same type as crashed heli) can't spawn without a command, so there is someone cheating, and if the admin is not blind he IS the cheater.

If you can't enter it, you can't repair it. That said, there are probably no vehicles in their original spawn locations anymore. They're all stashed off the map somewhere by clans, and since I don't think they respawn, there are fewer and fewer of them to find anyway.

Please explain me how often do vehicles spawn ? Helis, cars, buses ? I heard its 7 days AFTER the vehicle destroyed right ? So if you park away ALL the vehicles new ones will NOT spawn ? How often does loot spawn ? How does it work exactly? Near players, far from players, how ?

If I remember correctly, if the vehicle has been inactive for 7 days, it will reset. If not, then well...it stays off bounds. 7 Days is more than enough time for people hoarding vehicles off map to save location, even IF they die.
