Are you absolutely SURE that say I take a vehicle at Berezhno and park it somewhere else. Are you SURE new one will spawn there after server restart ? I thought only if I kill my vehicle or leave it alone for 7 days. And how do I know when the servers restart? It SO UNFAIR that the admin knows that and hoards all the new vehicles of map with their pathetic friends. Does all vehicles spawn broken ?

Count me in. I'm interested in repairing some vehicles, maybe setting up a camp. Hard to do that sort of thing solo. joe.stileski on skype.

Okay so I registered to post this because what happened was proper bullshit. So ol' Tyrone found this GAZ from Krasno after scouting for two hours for vehicles all around Cherno, missing only one frontwheel, Tyrone being smart wanting to use that car he goes on all the way to Berezino to get a spare. When the trips out and the cars rolling and its Tyrones first time in a vehicle in this game Tyrones all pretty excited like any would be. Not too much of this fun tho, the serverchat on the left starts to "xxx wants Tompson to become an admin" then "Tompson wants Tompson to become and admin" and Tompson became admin. Then Tompson proceeded to instantly kick Tyrone from the server. Tyrone was afraid to log back on incase admins have power to kill his character or simply ban Tyrone. Now Tyrones sad. No car no fun. Edit: Can anyone become an admin on certain servers by just other people voting them to?

Not sure how ESP work but if they find your camp because of vehicles appearing on a radar, just keep the vehicles separated from the camp and lose only those.

It's hackers, the guys who are pretending it isn't hackers are probably the hackers. The same thing happened to us i've lost every single vehicle I found within a few hours no matter how hard i hide it because hackers just log in and roll to the vehicles.

They were hackers. I just read a post I think is from an admin of that server with similar issues for them last night as well. Its a shame this game is going to be ruined for me because of people cheating. In a matter of 24 hours we had accumulated 4 vehicles and a huge amount of gear, only to have it stolen then the rest destroyed by them.

While I agree that they shouldn't be able to save vehicles outside the map, I sympathise that there isn't anywhere you can really hide a base, seeing as the map is small, and ultimately one-dimensional. By that I mean you only get to explore the surface landscape - there are no underground locations or the like to hide out of plain-sight. It tends to be rolling fields. No natrual valleys and cliffs to obscure your sight, or caves. Ya know.

I like the idea. The game is based on perma death yet clans dominate over half the vehicles and constantly farm up all the good stuff and stock it in their tents leaving nothing for regular solo players. If they die, it's not like they care because they have 20 more guns in their tents and a hundred more NV goggles. Camps are made to be discovered and so are the vehicles. Being solo, or playing with very small groups (2-3) is pretty much pointless.

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

I remember this script written by some mapmaker who made racing maps (the script was for OFP and a long time ago hence me not remembering the mapmakers name) which gave you a menu option to flip a vehicle to its upright position if it has been flipped over or to its side. I would think it shouldn't be too hard to incorporate a script like this for vehicles in Dayz, especially vehicles that flip over easily like the ATV for example.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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?
