not sure iv have found the odd food empty canteen or trashh in vehicles dunno if put there or spawns with them but i will say everytime iv found a tractor it always has a empty whiskey bottle in it lol

Some vehicles spawn with gear inside. I believe the off-road pickup for example always spawns with flares, beans, and a CZ550 (no ammo).

We have had a couple of times that after a restart saved vehicles and tents do not appear. The only thing we had to do is to restart the server one or two additional times to make it load properly.

the rusted out vehicles are static objects thus no on repair and not all servers have vehicle spawns rocket has to go to every server and enable it but i have played on US150 and US 44 and there are a ton of vehicles my clan has 4 and we found them in one day fixed 2 stole the other 2 lol and on a further note usuable vehicles are quite noticable they have paint and sometimes 2-3 tires on them they stick out all bright and colorful :D

No, it shouldn't be this 'fresh'. There should still be tents and vehicles spawning. The server owner (or administrator) just needs to do another full restart (turn the server off then on, not just restart the mission) to refresh their connection to hive and this should fix the issue.

I support this, we ambushed them when they were in a convoy, they all dissapeared when we blew up there truck, with 2 of them inside. We went to look for them and they weren't in sight, the truck also went, but that may have just been a cleanup on the vehicles. We then realised a few moments later that they infiltrated our base while we were scouting around. In regards to their friendly-fire, me and 2 others, Cryte and peter, witnessed them, all of the stated [GP] members, started killing eachother.

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.

I've got no problem with gear being stolen.. if you weren't illiterate you probably would've read that.. or maybe you jumped in on page 4 or 5, thought you already knew everything and quoted someone as saying something they never even said.. It wouldn't be the first time someone on a forum was a complete idiot... The point is blowing up other people's tents does nothing for anyone.. you want realism but you won't apply it to anything that doesn't suit you, so at what point does a game become just a game? If there isn't a way for people to keep collecting and distributing gear long term, then there will be no reason for anyone to play the game past the point where they are walking around with an AS50 with 5 mags, have an L85AWS in their backpack with plenty of ammo, a silenced mp5 pistol, GPS, MULTIPLE vehicles which carry more than 1 passanger... etc.... (and yes i have all that.) If you think I'm soft, you just haven't had the displeasure of me destroying you and your friends quite yet, because I can guarantee you I'm one of the biggest bandits on these boards.. I can simply admit there's a point where griefing is just pointless, and this is that point.

Teaming already provides: -The ability to use bloodbags -The ability to use epipens -More firepower -More eyes -The abillity to bandage a friend that is unconcious -Having a friend watch over the area while you loot -Sharing tents -Sharing vehicles -Sharing ammo -Only 1 person on your team needs tools for your whole team to benefit. -More inventory space while looting. I think teaming is fine personally. I don't team with random people since I have friends to play with and I am kind of opposed to having incentives to team with random people since it's quite likely I'll get shot in the back at some point. Even with the changes you mentioned, I would still only team with the same people and not randoms.

Well in a way you are rewarded by exploring the woods and deserted areas by finding player camps and vehicles that are stashed away. Could perhaps have random dead bodies with random loot in them in woods that would also spawn Zombies, like a chopper crash site or a deer stand.

I would really love to see a mechanic implemented to booby trap tents/vehicles. I find a tent, take whatever precious gear I want / can carry. Then rig a hand grenade to it so that the next person to open the tent explodes, destroying them, the tent, and everything inside / near by. Find a vehicle I can't use, same sort of thing, put a grenade in it, rigged to the door or something. Obviously it would need some kind of subtle indicator that it was trapped. Nothing remotely obvious or the whole point is lost, but something that if you take 10-15 seconds to inspect the thing you'll be ok. From the other side of things, maybe you have an extra gun, rig it to the door so that it fires a single shot the next time it's opened. Give it a random chance of hitting different areas of the body. So you don't always die, maybe you get shot in the arm or leg and then are free to loot. If you inspect the object in question, you can find the grenade/gun/etc and have a chance at defusing it if you want to. Obviously this could go wrong and fire anyway. Require the toolbox to set up/ take down these traps.

I find it outstandingly amusing that the OP thinks he has a right to complain about his precious "hard work" being blown to bits. It's an alpha, you're supposed to test this, not hoard stuff MMORPG style. To sum it up for you: there's nothing wrong with the mechanic (tents, vehicles, everything that can be used to store stuff being destroyable), there's something wrong with you. Less hours farming, QQing on forums, more testing, comprende? /thread

I think it's not a bad idea. Clean resets of all the servers (reseting vehicles, tents, etc) should be a regular thing for the sake of freshly testing the game as it changes. These new features might adjust how a server population slowly migrates and where they move to (set up camp) as they move inland. Of course you have a large percentage of the game players who are more interested in the game for their personal satisfaction than they are invovled for the greater good of the final game as a whole. Needless to say quite a few people would be upset.

Tents should be limited to 1 or 2 per person imo. Same with vehicles. If you acquire/save one you loose any others you have.

I found 2 of the big trucks a couple of days ago stocked full of sniper rifles, m4a3 sd's, 5 sets of nvg's, 5 range finders, 3 m249's, 30 mags for those alone, 5 coyote backpacks, and everything else you can think of in mass quantity. nobody was there guarding them, so I drove them south and called in a buddy to move everything off of the server, onto ours. we then moved the vehicles again, hoping to use them in the future, but if not, no biggie. On a side note, my buddy put all but 2 of the nvg's into a pack with the range finders/maps/gps. All seemed fine, but the server reset a few minutes later and the backpack was empty when we checked it again. I guess you shouldn't put things in packs in tents.

This isn't some preachy thread about how server hopping is ruining this or that, or that rocket better fix my free alpha NOW so that I can have everything exactly how I want it. Its merely a suggestion. If you aren't a fan of server hoppers systematically looting the airfield, me and a couple buddies have found a fantastic new layer to the pvp in this game. we simply go into low populated night servers and sit in the barracks and wait for people to spawn in (2nd or 3rd room is best because they tend to spawn in at either end). Of course its risky, but their are 2 fantastic outcomes to this practice. You need only simply wait around and someone brings a ton of great loot to you, and of course, you get to make a guy very sad. Its all about layers of trolling here. I think these guys are getting bored. Lets give them a challenge. I guarantee you the glee you will feel shortly after murdering a collector just by sitting around and waiting is second only to finding a parking lot and server hopping every last bit of loot they've collected away, then blowing the crap out of the vehicles as a final insult. And yes, I'm aware this thread is a complete waste of time, but i'd like to know if anyone else has been doing this.

I guess not. There he could find answers: 1. ammo - more important to find bullets and their number than magazines. you combine bullets into full clips + rest in semi-full clip 2. positive AI - traders, wonderers, settlers... can comunicate and trade or just kill and loot and than you loose: 3. Karma - next time you get shot on sight... There are also some main elements as in dayz plus: huge map with cities, lakes, all... post apocaliptic survival vehicles zombies (+ monsters) animals (+ wild infected animals) mini quests main quest I played it for a long time (as well as Fallout 1 &2), and dayz is allready as much great while in alpha :) but dayz is now more lonely game, more than any fallout singleplayer, for all this bandits and shoot on sight behaviur not being punished. It is pulling dayz into open clan-war-arm-yourself- by-jumping-servers-kill-all pvp. With no point in surviving if you are not in a clan :( In fallout you could have AI frends at least

my thing is why the fuck zombies make vehicles explode. It doesn't even fit with the whole idea of explosions.

can you two get a life? ive said in vehicles is the only i see third person has a legitimate use. go troll someone else or at least try to stay on topic whilst doing so.

hiding spots on the west or north edge of the map, on the highest hill for example are all compromised and easy to find. Stashing a small tent or a small atv or something in thick woods in the middle of the map is the only way to combat people looking for camps. Even then id say 40% of people who play this are using Hacks to find vehicles... Untill battleeye actually does a job instead of giving false sense of security. I wouldnt even bother putting a tent up or trying to hide a vehicle, it will be gone in less than 24hours.

im already aware of everything dude, i just think this - as a mod, should have its own thing going on for its own feel. the only time i can see 3rd person being actually good to have is in vehicles, NOTHING else.

Vehicles and tents will stay on the same server.

TrackIR if your lucky enough to have it or something similar removes the need for 3dp even in vehicles. I'd imagine alt looking would work too, never tried that.

Hello Rocket. Sorry to have to bother you with an Admin Server abuse issue, but there is one on North Carolina 4. The situation occurred on June 27th. Our team found a camp that comprised of over10+ vehicles and 10+ tents loaded to the brim with all elite weapons/gear. Our team immediately starting taking the best vehicles and gear and moving them to a new location. Shortly after this the server went down. This happened at approximately 5:30ish pm est. The server remained down until approximately 6:45ish pm est When the server came back up several people starting questioning the admin about the server going down and the key vehicles in question. Based on the admins answers and with deductive reasoning we were able to conclude that this was the server admins base. Within 10 minutes of the server coming up. We spotted a vehicle approaching us were we had moved the vehicles to before the server went down. A short battle occurred and the server admin was killed…2 secs after he died the server went down again. The server came back up pretty quick and I immediately told the admin I would report him for server abuse. He justified the server failure and stated it was not his fault and he would let our group kill him once the server was completely up. I stated this would not pacify me. When the server did come back up the admin was still dead at the battle scene. Our team immediately started to move about and heal and the server went down yet again. I again challenged the admin to what the hell he was doing. The server then came up again and three of our team members were booted from the server. Upon trying to log into the server again, these three members were are all in no man’s land and stripped completely of all gear. Shortly after this the server went down yet again. We challenged the admin to why our gear was stripped and we were booted. He justified this with some sort of ping setting and stated we would be fine once the server came back up. The server came back up and these same three members were forced to respawn as we did not have any gear and no way of knowing where we were. This admin is clearly not only abusing his power, but hording pretty much the entire servers’ vehicle spawn. This admin makes me sad. I truly hope this matter is looked into. Thanks in advance for any and all help, William

Yup I'd rather they make it impossible to set up camps off map. That and a reduced vehicle longevity for vehicles off map, say 1 day of inactivity and it goes poof ( instead of the regular 7 day) I'll try and get a video up showing some field landings/takeoff for illustration.
