.01% if this is added at all, I think that this would be hard to implement seeing as all current vehicles are wheeled, and would involve the horses having wheels for hooves. I think the bears would be nice, but i don't see cougars being in the wilderness.

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?

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.

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!

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 think it would be amazing if certain items degraded over time, adding another dimension to realism. Here are a few examples: • Knifes / Hatchets becoming blunt after x number of uses. o Solution: Take item to a smithing stand and use a grinding wheel to sharpen. Or find another one. • Running out of matches after x number of uses. • Torches / weapon torches / NVGs / watches / run out of batteries after a certain amount of usage. o Solution: Implement batteries into the game, then players have to find them. • Weapons degrade over time, leading to issues such as jamming or a piece breaking (firing pin etc.). o Solution: Maybe the condition of the weapon could be displayed, similar to the status of vehicles. You would have to visit a gun cleaning / repairing stand. I believe Rocket wants to make more buildings accessible in the future so maybe these ideas could be put to good use. If you like the idea, want to add one or think I’m an idiot please let me know! Sorry if this has been previously discussed :)

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 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

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.
