44. It doesn't rain on top of Russian castles. 45. Zombies don't like bridges 46. ATVs also don't like bridges therefor, they are not all terrain vehicles.

Allright, cannibalism. It should be possible to gut freshly dead survivors. With increasing heartbeat when detected (lower humanity) in order to stack up with food in desperate situations. It would add a real creepy yet somewhat intense feeling to surviving in the dayz world. Extentions to chernarus. ok lets say that making a whole new map is to much work, but what about some community based extentions to the chernarus map, maybe some more woods the north with some bigger towns, military bases, airfields and other types of vehicles. Perhaps like a river that man can cross in to a big city to the north. idunno just some silly ideas. whatdouthink?

It's really hard to maintain/find vehicles playing solo. Best bet is to find a crew and start collecting.

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 :)

The vehicle system works great except for chopper radar and hiding outside of the map area. Chopper radar has to be removed or made a repairable part with a miniscule spawning chance Vehicles and tents should not be able to be saved off of the map. Attempting to do so would generate an error message similar to placing tents or collecting firewood. If the vehicle is abandoned off of the map need to be set back to original state of disrepair and return it to it's spawn location (see below) Vehicle spawn locations need to be more random. A group that just had an Ural destroyed would know that they just need to go back to it's original location and reclaim it. Random spots around random towns would be great. Scavaging parts off of other vehicles, like harvesting wood, could be an option. Need an engine, grab your toolbox and strip out another vehicle. Finally, not going back and saving your vehicle should be done every 72 hours. That gives people with interests other than playing Dayz the opportunity to go on a weekend trip yet still comeback to find their vehicles intact.

would like to add: removing the ability for vehicles to "drive off the map," as that seems to be the current prime hiding spot for these... or at least, if they drive 'of the map," they won't be saved, and will respawn at their origin upon exiting them.

No, just no. Vehicles aren't supposed to be a dime a dozen, if we added crafting a bicycle EVERYONE would make one. If we made the save longer, it would be harder to find vehicles. It's hilarious how you think making a bicycle is a "simple" easy task that could be done by someone surviving a zombie apocalypse. Perhaps it could.... if you had spare bicycle parts laying around, not fucking scraps of metal. How are you supposed to weld that shit together? Where do you get the chain, bearings, sprockets and other stuff? Your suggestion is stupid and your approach very whiny. "i'm gonna keep replying until there are more vehicles..." LOL ok.

What really needs to happen is the map needs to be locked down so people can't keep going off map to hide tents and vehicles and shit.

the only place vehicles are found should not consist of the edges of the map that's fucking stupid. I'm in the middle of fraps-ing myself running from the spawn to a noted vehicle spawn on the map and then from the spawn to the nearest city. its fucking redic the time it takes to travel without wheels. They need to reduce save time, they need to kill everyone off the grid and de-spawn all vehicles off the grid. For sure they need to at least make bicycles spawn in many more places or be able to craft them.

I have no idea when I was supposed to be anywhere. As for evidence this is all I have, yet I have seen nothing from your side. Let's sum things up. I can prove I was there 20 minutes before the first nuke. Moments before that very first nuke we had about 4 vehicles rounded up somewhere way south of your camp. I was switching up gear between them only to die out of nowhere. Session lost follows about half a minute later or so. Getting my hopes up it was some sort of server glitch I rejoined only to find myself spawning with nothing but the basic gear. Kinda pissed off I respawned several times in order to spawn somewhere near solnichy/berezino so I could race back to the vehicles. So did my friend. We traveled all the way back to the last known position, we geared up again out of our vehicles only to die another time 10 minutes later. That's when I called it a day and logged off. I lost several guns, ammo, equipment and due to the ridiculous ban all that was in the vehicles. The ban reason is using god mode all the while I'm not banned by battleye despite the recent banhammer wipeout. I looked up some stuff about spoofing ID's and a 5 minute google search proved it was ridiculously easy to do. Seeing jubag's comment I think that's what happened here as it might have happened to him as well. Why on earth would I even bother coming here if I could just hop on another server and go about with the godmode thing. It's understandable for admins to ban if they see logs with my name on it, but if the ID can't be linked to my CD_key (the check that battleye performs) I'm not the one cheating. I think that was about it. :dodgy:

The only things that need fixing with regards to vehicles is: a) Offmap saving. b) Helicopter radar removing. As somebody who has abused both of the above (and I'll continue to do so until they get changed), they are two factors that - in it's current state, the mod can do without. Edit: I wouldn't be altogether against having the radar changed to only other helicopters that are currently *airbourne* This is also very very wrong. I'm not sure about you, but on the server I normally play on (SE6) - people frequently go around the edges of the map looking for shit. I went around the edge of the map on US 39 a couple of weeks ago, over a period of 2-3 nights. I checked every clearing large enough to place a tent. I found something in the region of 60 tents, 15 or so vehicles. Stole or destroyed all of them. The only thing I didn't find was helicopters, because their speed/altitude makes getting them on/off the map trivial. If people are restricted to parking vehicles on the map if they wish to save them, then they will not go for weeks without being found.

no but they should add some kind of bolt cutter...or anyone who got a tool-box should be able to cut that wire fences off. Get a toolbox. Done? Ok. Now, aim at the wire fence, but not in the fence, in that sort of stick it has, to keep it up. Now, use the mouse wheel, and continuously approach it, until the option "Remove Barded Wire (CAT1)" - I believe that's it - appears. Select it and you are now removing the fence. Works with sandbags as well, but not sure if that's with toolbox or entrenching tool. Keep in mind that some options like vehicles fixing and removing that sort of stuff is bugged, so you have to walk towards it until the option appears. Hope it helped.

The end of a long day, recovering vehicles and after a trip to NWAF, we're offloading the car into the tents, and i get into the driver's seat to take the car to our secluded vehicle park. Except I didn't get in the car. I threw a M67 frag at it. Desperately casually slow walking away, I screamed at my keyboard and monitor as the grenade went off. Hoping it cleared the wire and detonated harmlessly outside the camp, I turned to look. The lovely little care was immolated. The fire could be seen for a mile around. Was the 5.56 ammo still in the car? Shit.

Oh yea, you ruined Christmas for me dude! I shot one guy who was laying in a tree I think causing him to bleed, then I headshotted another guy with the kobra... i was about to move to scope the area out and down I go 1 shotted. We have a group of players with 3 or 4 really experienced players and 4-5 beginners who we use as bait :P. We're very self-sufficient players.. we have a nice sized camp and we collect vehicles regularly (although they are a pain to keep because the server resets them so often.) I do admit I have some trust issues with this game but I'll talk to the guys tonight to see if they are interested in an alliance... I personally have been looking for a bigger/stronger group so we can do bigger things and have more cover for some heavy duty areas like NW airfield. I'm pretty sure they will go for it!

Blowing up vehicles doesn't do anything really since when the server resets they will be right back at full health.

i'd rather see an expansion of civilian items, both for weapons and vehicles, rather than military. a couple more rifles or handguns, and several more vehicle types. those items would be easier to find anyways in an apocalypse than super-high grade military hardware...

Vehicles are still in the world.. nothing is preventing a new player from going out and searching for them like everyone else. And since the devs have added the respawn timer if a vehicle goes unused it's even easier now (found a respawned ATV that way). You have to think of the lesser of two evils here.. make it more inconvient for new players or have a new topic being spammed on the forums of people saying admins are abusing by respawning vehicles whenever some player just found such and such vehicle.

I was wondering if any european players here would like to team up and rock a server together. I do not mean slaying everyone we see but rather collecting supplies together, getting tents and building up a camp...collecting vehicles and weapons. Stuff like that. Would anyone want to team up with me to achieve all that? I'd appreaciate if someone would like to play RIGHT NOW, I am bored :P VoIP using Skype, or a TS/Vent server that YOU guys own, I do not own a server. Hope someone is interested. Add me on steam: opel467 or PM me for my skype name.

Just a few weapon & Vehicle suggestions that are mostly of Czech or Russian origin with a few additional vehicles. Weapons Skorpion Vz.61 - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C5%A0korpion_vz._61 - Known in Arma II as the Sa.61 Scorpion, could effectively be a Russian analogue to the Micro Uzi / PDW currently in-game but takes the common Makarov ammunition instead with a 20 round magazine capacity and options for a semi or full auto fire mode, very weak taking 3-4 shots to kill a zombie without a headshot. M16A1 - http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110119211130/homefront/images/a/a5/M16a1.gif - Functions as a full auto/semi-auto version of the M16A2, comes with a 30 round STANAG magazine and takes STANAG magazines. Should not come with a Grenade Launcher or a Scope and instead be left as a base weapon. SKS - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SKS - Semi-auto rifle with a 10 round clip. Takes AKM magazines which can be converted into 3x magazines worth of ammo. SKS "Clips" hold 10 rounds and three can be converted into an AKM magazine. Mosin Nagant - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mosin_Nagant - Bolt Action Rifle that uses SVD Ammo which can be converted to create 2x magazines worth much like how the DMR magazine can make 4x magazines worth for the M24. Can feature a scoped variant but should be very rare. RPG-7 - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RPG-7 - Russian Analogue to the M136 currently in Day-Z, reusable but extremely loud, slow to reload and rare, ammunition comes in two forms, an Anti-Personnel OG-7V Rocket and a Anti-Tank PG-7VR Dismantled Machine Gun - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PK_machine_gun - A dismantled Machine gun that can be found in a box and attached to certain vehicles as a mounted gun holding 1000 rounds once installed, resembles a Russian PKM Machine gun. Ideal vehicles which it can be fitted to include the Off-Road Pickup Truck and V3S Civilian Truck. Vehicles Technical - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technical_%28vehicle%29 - An off-road pickup truck outfitted with a heavy machine gun on the back that holds 500 rounds of ammunition. Different from the "Dismantled Machine Gun" as the weapon is also already pre-attached but is larger and more powerful than that weapon. Vodnik - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GAZ-3937 - A Military Armoured Car that can be found at Airfields and Military Barracks, extremely rare and requires alot of materials to repair (like most vehicles) includes a machine gun with 1000 rounds. Microlight - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microlight - Single person aircraft that can be found at Airfields. Requires a few building materials but allows for broad island travel. Not very fast and not very well protected also extremely loud.

Is it possible for a server owner to reset the vehicles & tents on said server? I am considering purchasing a server and am considering doing this at certain points to ensure that new players on the server have the oppourtunity to aquire vehicles. Cheers

Game purchase only or Free ( see below ) Studio but with a big ear for the Community ;) Both, Dev. servers and Com. servers ( there you can make the "F2P" like concept a bit- make the game cheap or free, give ppl the servers to rent and let the Dev servers be limited in how many players, less spawns, less vehicles, etc..... i think that could be a good way if its done right) if Kickstar means that funding project site or something similar, dont forget its not that common to have a credit card in europe ;)

just wondering if anyone has any information on helicopters for instance... are they in every server right now, or only a select few? are they currently able to be fully repaired? do they respawn like vehicles at set spawn points, or it is more randomized? and of course, which im sure no one will answer, where the hell are the spawns?! recently found the best land vehicle(military offroad), so now the helicopter is my last mission. any information is helpful

Vehicles should just be removed if saved/empty outside the game area. Then there would be more vehicles camps on map that people can find...even if you do have to search around the edge! Defo need to remove the heli radar too! That's stupid!!
