Take your time as long as many bugs are sorted out. Debug forest/plains, disappearing items from tents, disappearing vehicles, the unconscious-after-joining-a-server-without-shock bug, zombs walking/attacking through walls and so forth. Etc and so forth. Seems like a great patch!

DayZ appealed to me since I like the post apocalyptic setting, I read book like The Road and Metro 2033 and watch TV series like The Walking Dead, Jericho, and semi-frequent r/collapse on reddit (probably because I secretly suspect that the world is going to shit, aaany day now..). The Crime & Punishment and Bandit Campfire subforums occasionally offer some nice reads, eventhough the stories mostly consist of neckbeards' wet dreams with plotholes you could drive a truck through. Theme Parks and sandboxes, EVE and DayZ being sandboxes. The thing is that EVE isn't as sandboxy as it seems, it has mining, ratting, mission running, plexes, scanning, trading, hauling, POS operation, R&D and whatnot. As it seems, DayZ only offers looting, shooting and repairing vehicles.

Close your eyes and think of the horse with a big grin as it rides in. IZZIE: grow up kid, complaining that someone highjacks your crossbow thread, coming here to flame, you're a tool

Horses would be cool. But yeah, to many design problems. You could just use the bicycle or motorcycle as the base model I guess. And also, you can't fire from any vehicles in Arma 2. Not sure how they would design around that.

Is the server running when you and your friends are not connected? Maybe... *gasp*... Other people besides you and your friends got the vehicles? Am I missing something or are expecting that the vehicles will be available for just you?

Yes, vehicles are bound to the server they spawned on. Just like tents. Also, don't park your vehicle too close to your camp or you might lose both.

I learned that when you save the vehicle you must come back to the same server you saved it on. It will not transfer over servers and I lost my bike to not knowing this. Vehicles are great and very valuable as I got from cherno to the north west air field faster than I ever have. That was just on a bicyle.

And im definitely not in shock or logging out under duress. Ive had this bug happen a few times over the last week too. I know what the shock symbol is and how it works, and this isnt that. Right now im prone in the grass waiting for vehicles to drive by on the server I play on, and when I logged out to go eat, I came back in the game with a long hourglass as if I had logged out while in shock. Is anyone else having this?

I tend to play solo most of the time, and I have to say that vehicles are AWESOME if used properly and safely. What I mean is that they are great to move from city to city, but do so cautiously. Park well outside the city as to not draw attention to yourself from infected or PKers. Oh, and hitting things can and will blow you up!

Definitely! Thank you! How is your clan doing on supplies/vehicles/members/camps?

Then people could take the engine/fuel tank out of their own vehicle, put it in their bags and then log off knowing that if someone wants to steal their vehicle they will need to bring an engine/fuel tank with them. (which could force the guy finding the vehicle to take all the wheels/other parts off the vehicle in spite) So it could add alot to the vehicle hide and seek that goes on all the time, and could make use of those vehicles you find that need too much repairing but have something like a fully working engine. Would be interesting to see this idea tested out.

I wander a lot from server to server to find the one thats less populated, less ping, and currently on daytime. As I don't play the at the same time every time I want to play the game it'll be a pain to remember all the spots of vehicles....especially since the ingame server browser is terrible. At least the Six updater one has a favorites system.

I'm trying the x2 num - and it isn't toggled even though my controls have it set to be D: Doesn't work with snipers and maybe some vehicles. You can turn your head and look at your feet in the game too, it is called freelook, and in combination with 3rd person is an exploit, that is the primary reason we are calling to have it removed. A game will never give you the same perception as real life, but arma does it very well, just learn the controls, and the function of periphery dots. Your calling him an idiot, so what are the people then that can't grasp the fact that there are servers running with 3rd off? Sounds to me people want it removed because they are too lazy to traipse through the server list.

Okay, for the base thing I would recommend using some wire fencing :D Yes, it can be cut :) but not everyone has the required item to cut the fence :P making your vehicles fairly safe.

1. When players talk about a base it mostly means a group of people who have put up tents and/or placed all of the groups vehicles in the same place and in there stashed all of their equipment. 2. If you go into shock, which you can by having pain inflicted on you i.e. being shot or hit by a zombie. If you log out while you are in shock the next time you log in you will be unconsious for a longer period of time. Hope this helps :)

I think as of right now vehicles are too easy to just steal. I think when vehicles first spawn, they should have the keys for it in the inventory. When you pick them up they take a tool slot. You can make as many copies as you want by right clicking and selecting "copy". This way you can share it with your friends. Now once you picked up the keys if someone wants to steal it they have to have a tool box and hotwire the vehicle. This makes it harder to steal vehicles, a little more realistic, and gives the toolbox more value. This has to be doable in ARMA since I was playing a mod last night where you could only fly certain jets if you were a clan member of the server. So this has to be an easy mod.

I don't really have any suggestions as what could be added to the game for mid to end game well geared characters, but I do think its something that really needs to start getting considered. Once the major bugs have been ironed out of the current build, Rocket really needs to focus on adding more content that encourages players to log in and keep playing, especially those of us who play as survivors. As was already mentioned,if your not a PK and are reasonably well geared you have no real major goals and little incentive to go anywhere hot-spots and risk losing your grade A gear. I know the focus of the game is to not set any objectives on the player, except the ones we make for ourselves,however once your geared up to a level of self self-sufficiency, the appeal of the game is severely diminished. I know to counteract this some people have set themselves up as server hoping good Samaritans, giving aid to people in need,while this is a rather admirable self imposed job,it is invariably not for everybody. The goal of the game is to survive but once that goal is achieved, what more can be added? Become a Bandit Hunter or Become a Bandit? Become a wandering medic? Horde vehicles and exchange them for loot? Become a Thief? Become an Assassin and take out contracts of revenge for loot(would this be even possible)? Become a trader? Hunt animals*chuckles*? Try and restore Chernarus to its former *ahem* glory?

admins cant see vehicles/players only way to see/spawn vehicles/players is to hack

cause it controls the server owners from having all the vehicles and visitors none, server admins have no real power on their servers all they can do is ban/kick restart and use global
