Exactly' date=' if you just didn't restart your server and accept the loss and try to recover it fairly..I wouldn't of posted anything..we might of actually had a good fight. btw I suffer extreme lag/game freezes whenever I log in and enter/exit vehicles(random)..so im not really surprised you guys were suffering similar fates. Goes away after a few minutes, but it goes away. [/quote'] You have to understand I'm not the only admin on the server main admin yes, but I work.. and I have a family, I have other priorities over dayz.

Goes away after a few minutes, but it goes away. Please read what I write, not just nitpick what you want to read. Thread was linked to me in TS, and i've been browsing it for roughly 20-30 mins. Thats how I got the image of you in the TS3 with the people we killed. And I never said anything about bypassing anything by purchasing a new copy. I was merely stating that CHEEKI BREEKI was banned for hacking before hand, but thank you for confirming that..and the fact you're playing with him, an admin.

Ive seen FAL ammo in some repairable vehicles.

How about introducing the necessity of maintaining vehicles? It seems quite logical to me that a patched vehicle needs to be maintained quite often. Lets say a component of the vehicle breaks every 12 hours or randomly every 12-24 hours. Furthermore vehicles that are not maintained to full functionality for like 48 hours may despawn. This would cause people to think twice whether they keep more vehicles at their site than actually needed. This is just one approach to solving the problem. Use it as food for your thoughts :)

Vehicles don't always come back after a restart, and require a second one for them to turn up. Go back and check today.

Normally, vehicles and tents are wiped during some server restarts due to the config files messing up/data not saving. Once the server has been through another restart everything should be sorted and you'll find that your ATV will reappear.

You didn't even read the OP post, so I don't see why you're even responding. Found the gear in the camp site some of you were at (had 7 M4A1 Holo SD 203's) and multiple coyote packs. Took the vehicles and went to pick up people from the shore who were joining. Saw you guys repairing a vehicle on the side of the road, killed the guy repairing the truck and then the passenger. Took the pick up truck and drove north, server went down and then I got reverted to where we picked up the truck and the other 2 I was with were reverted in different parts of the map nearby. '4chan' people are known for going out of their way to troll others to believe in their lies by twisting words, telling false truths, pretending to be other people, etc. My attached image above is all the proof that is needed to prove me right, the admin is sitting in a TS3 with known hackers and previously banned hackers who have re-purchased the game. How do you know he wasn't there?

Have you read any of my posts on this forum in its entirety? Do you ever get past the first few sentences? I even took a screenshot for you of the 2 murders I've had in the past 19 days' date=' but you simply ignore it. It's like you can't believe that someone might not want to ENGAGE in unrestricted PvP while simultaneously supporting its presence in the game. Should I say it again? DayZ is more than a shooting gallery to me. I avoid zombies and players alike. I play to survive and I'm doing a damn good job of it with 1 death in the last 32 days or so. 300+ hours in the game and less than 10 murders total, probably? I don't hunt players - though I'll kill them if they come near me or my possessions including any of the many vehicles I have repaired and/or stolen. Yet, everything I've done in the game has been more interesting because at any moment I might have been attacked by another player out for blood. Every second in the game is intense precisely because I'm not sure whether or not I'm being hunted by a homicidal maniac. You're still not quite getting what I'm driving at with the comparison between zombies and bandits. Let me try again: You are okay with mindless killing machines as long as they are run by the computer and AI scripts. That's fine. Once those enemies take on a human intelligence, however, as they have in DayZ - you now claim lack of immersion and game-breaking issues. So, no. You DON'T want intelligence in your games. You want to remove it. You don't want to face it because by your own admission you "can't counter it" for some reason (isn't that the whole idea behind tactics?). Can you explain to me why hordes and hordes of mindless killing machines is okay when it's AI, but abhorrent when its humans? Why one challenge that's predictable and repetitive and technically difficult is preferable over a human challenge that is unpredictable, dynamic, ever-changing and absolutely tech-free because it only relies on the glory of the human mind? Don't you see? People complain all the time like "That game's okay but the AI sucks." Well, guess what the best AI ever is? Just regular old I. Nothing artificial about it. Just like the zombies, their singular mission is to take your life - but unlike the zombies you can't trick them by running into a building or hiding behind a tree and they're not going to just stand still and line up and let you shoot them one at a time. I know, I know. Enemies that can think and adapt and challenge you in unexpected ways are SCARY. I get that. But they are infinitely more interesting than the brain-dead zombies. No matter how many hundreds of hours the team pours into designing a zombie AI it will never be as compelling as facing off against a real human mind. rocket understands that, and that is why he is holding on to PvP, unrestricted, pure and raw. Yet, every single suggestion you have supported from bringing back side chat to curbing PvP would actually take DayZ further away from being unique and bring it closer to those mainstream sequels. You're a poser, dude. DayZ is innovating and you want to dial it back and maintain the status quo, and you act like YOU'RE the one defending its purity. DayZ is doing fine without your help. The intensity that comes from facing off against human opponents in an unrestricted environment is precisely it's most important element both thematically and game play-wise and you are in here every day trying to poke holes in it and rip it to shreds and it makes me want to slap your silly face.

I wasn't killed in the v35, I respawned exactly where I got banned on the next server I joined with everything I had, and I have no idea what that bottom picture is. The truth is in my original post, as to each person we killed can be seen in this screenshot..in the same TS3 as the admin. Funny how the server goes down so quickly after we killed you fairly with our SD weapons and because you had technical difficulties, we were 'cheating'. Facts are this. We killed you. Raided your camps. Killed you again. Stole your vehicles. 3mins later, server crashes without warning. Everything is reverted to last saved pos. Killed you again, since you revived again. Drove off, tried to run you over. "You are Banned" Why would I try to run you over if I could just kill you with a 'script'. Admin is supporting dupers, hackers and is abusing his powers. In the screenshot, you can see player names of previous hackers that have been banned aka. CHEEKIE BREEKI, etc.

You drove a cargo truck up to two players in the white offroad pickup, ran (dance?) script to prevent them from moving, shot them out of the vehicle, you and your buddies hopped out and got in, then both vehicles mysteriously vanished, presumably teleported away. After the server was reset your truck was spotted driving down the coast, and you were shot out. Upon inspection of your body you were in possession of a scripted in M4 SD M203 Holo, BAF clothing, and various rare survival gear which I doubt was obtained legitimately. You were caught scripting and banned, though I compliment your creativity of blaming others (the server admin at that) to explain your hacked gear.

http://dayzdb.com/map This is the easiest way to find vehicles. I went through 10 towns on 2 different servers (i just backtracked from tulga) and looked at 15+ car spawn locations and none of them were there. I've also been playing since before 1.7 and I have only found one truck which another player wrecked. I think they are all hidden in the debug forest.

Well, I hope I'm not complaining about something that is just a problem with DayZ, but here's what's going on. On NY14, a veteran server hosted by Africanized Bees, my group has been having a recurring problem with tents and cars not saving properly after a server restart. Sometimes the cars will reset with much better health than we left them on; a yellow ENG light would be green the next day, or windscreens would be magically repaired. They still appear in the same location, though. Other times, our tents would be completely empty after a reset, despite making sure we've hit 'save old camping tent' multiple times. The same goes for vehicles; occasionally we'll put items in a vehicle, and they'll be gone after a reset. The server is made to reset every 12 hours, so I'm not sure if that's part of the problem. I guess I'd just like to know whether this is a problem with all servers, whether it can be fixed by some server admin magic, or if my friends and I should be storing our gear in a more reliable fashion?

I don't care about the animal as long as they dont attack or do anything (this isn't WoW) Bank? Who the hell is going to maintain a bank in a Zombie apocalypse? Bankers will eat your brains, money isn't valuable anymore. So whats the point? Ex-Pilots trying to survive won't waste their gas picking you up. But being able to keep your vehicle? Hell no. Spawning vehicles anywhere in map? No. Having a FUCKING CAR in your backpack? No. Holy shit. No

Can we get more usable loot, seeing way too many Axes out there? Why are we seeing so many flashlights if we already have them in our tool belts. Can an empty water bottle be part of spawn items? Just trying to find something to drink in the beginning is hard enough. I do like the fact of spawning with no gun, because when you run into people now in the beginning they are just as effed as you are. Also, I don't know if you posted this anywhere. What is the re-spawn rate of vehicles? I rarely find any even when using maps from the internet that show where they are on the map. I play often and am usually shocked when I see a quad race by or something of that nature. Thanks! Love the Game…

Good to hear. Just saw an bunch of vehicles being hoarded behind hills beyond the border. Lame.

They cant do this anyway as ander has set it to despawn all vehicles outside the map at random times. so no matter how often they press save the vehicle will dissappear.

Sat at the NWAF with a few friends this afternoon farming the southern barracks and over watching a crashed helicopter spawn for easy kills we hear vehicles approaching from the north. A heliux and UAZ rush in and pull right up to the northern barracks 2 get out and loot the building. They then go on to run down the length of the runway in broad daylight to exfil through the south gates. Small force unknown to us tried engaging them but failed to disable the vehicles. Ballsy move guys. Also note the server was at capacity. Wasnt a slow day by any means. Activity all day.

ok, I just found this: http://dayzwiki.com/wiki/index.php?title=Vehicles

I've been playing for a little over a week. I've seen other players with vehicles, I found a bike stuck in the water, but I've never found a vehicle of my own. is there some place they're usually at or around? what should I be looking for?

our server just went through a restart and when we came back all of our vehicles were gone. kind of upset cause my sexy motorcycle disappeared but if its a hive issue like we were having yesterday i may have hope.

It's not fake - zombies in large groups, likely lured by the smoke grenade, can and do topple buildings and vehicles.

Same here, had a boatload of vehicles and supplies with equipment. Server got nuked twice, could have lived with that. Than we got found by a normal guy, also didnt bother me. Then we moved camp and somehow people found us yes again, then after we had only a handful of vehicles left we moved them yet again. And again people found us. When we had two vehicles left in the middle of fuck knows where a player shows up kills everyone in a second and in the meanwhile a buddy of me hears nuke sound in elektro. Nothing was found in the server logs and we're quite confused. I am getting pretty tired of this and will return to DayZ when the game is cleaned up. Instead of cleaning up retards a few days ago, I think the DayZ crew pissed off more hackers :(

Is it possible to prevent going outside the map borders? Like, you start to loosing blood when you go past the border, or get a time before you die (like in battlefield series)... etc. Tired of seeing all the vehicles being saved ~10km beyond the map border.

thats all u gotta know , trunks for the vehicles , bananas for the monkeys and monkeys for the jim. read my other thread too : http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=20008 cya love you :heart:

HAHAHA. Sorry they drove off all the vehicles off the map. Then went to another server to do it. Oh well part of the game. Sucks for us.
