OK had this game for roughly a week right when they took away the starter pistols with me and 4 other mates and thought I'd share what we are all currently geared with :P M249 Saw (3 m249 mags and 6 stanag) (this is currently on me) 2x M4A3 acog (11 stangag) M4A3 acog sd (no mags) Bispin sd (8 mags) Fn Fal (2 mags) 2x ak 74u (around 30 odd mags) Dmr (6 mags) rocket launcher with 1 rocket, (people with vehicles beware :p) several of each medical supply's morphine, blood bags, ect. and all the basic tools expect for none of us have found any NV goggles. it really the only thing we are currently missing as well as vehicles. and honestly we probably have more i just can't remember right now, but for are group i think this is pretty good for only playing a week :D along with 7 crashed helicopters looted 5 of them.

PVP is the fabric that holds DayZ together. Without it, this game would be little more than a zombie-themed grind-fest. You don't have to be a bandit to realize this. If there's little-to-no chance of PVP encounters, then here's the game-winning strategy: 1. Group up with at least one other player. 2. Have your friend wait on the edge of the town as you go in and aggro all zeds away from all enter-able structures. 3. Your friend is then free to casually stroll in and loot everything in sight without any resistance. 4. To lose the zeds, a) run into a building and kill/lose line-of-sight of the zeds or b) let your friend pick them off from a distance. 5. Rinse and repeat for all cities/towns/airfields until you have accumulated the best gear and all vehicles. tl;dr DayZ without PVP = fucking boring

You just invented Minecraft... GG No, vehicles are a rarity and are super rewarding for putting time and effort into finding and fixing them. To have that feeling be taken away from you because your wife demanded that you go visit her parents in the No-Wifi-Allowed zone for 2 days would royally piss people the hell off. (Example, I'm not even married o,0) I understand you want to find a vehicle. I, myself have only seen three in game. I've been playing this mod for like, a week and a half straight as if it were cocaine and I've had 2 vehicles drive past me, and I found a working Tractor the other night... yippee... Unfortunately, making that carrot-on-a-stick EASIER to obtain isn't the answer, because after you magically build yourself a bike out of rusty scraps of metal and two flat car tires within an hour after you spawn, you're gonna see 49 other people ringin' their frikken bicycle bells around Cherno, as well... and you're not gonna feel special for having a super-rare spawned item. Vehicles need to stay rare and unique for them to be something worthwhile, or else they're gonna end up being something EVERYONE has and it's still gonna suck.

You think there should be enough vehicles that everyone can have one? They are *supposed* to be rare. The only problem at the moment is that people can park vehicles off map as far as they like, and that choppers make finding the remaining vehicles (and other peoples camps) way too easy. Basically, a team fixes a chopper and that's pretty much it for anybody elses chances on that server, they can just hoover up all the rest of the vehicles and raid camps with practical immunity, then park it 10km off the edge of the map. Once the off map parking and heli problems are fixed vehicles will be easier to find again. But if you are complaining about people hiding vehicles ON map, then don't. The vehicles are still there and the on-map area is finite in size. Go find them, set an ambush, gather intelligence, and whatever. As far as "crafting" vehicles is concerned, that is just ridiculous. Have you ever tried to make something as "simple" as a bicycle in real life? It takes more than a couple of wheels and some scrap metal. Building a vehicle is a totally different undertaking than fixing one. You need more than just a tool box.

I'm gonna keep replying until there are more vehicles and ways to get vehicles if only bikes/motor bikes. @ Dick you must not play on full servers.

Was it because you had items from the new patch on your character that were not in the older version and it saw it as cheating? No clue' date=' I received an email from them saying I was GUID hacking and the information was clear, they weren't going to post it and they won't tell me what the hell I was banned for. The character I was on hadn't died moving from the 1.7.1.5 version to the 1.7.0 so I guess I would have the new items on there. Also like I said I have all the current versions of the dayz addons in the file. I only downloaded and moved the DayZ 1.7.0 Code.rar, not the vehicles / weapons n all those over either. I didn't know I had to do those or which ones went with which. This is some complete BS! I have 3 hours of gameplay for Arma2: OA for the dayz logged on my steam. I barely know how to play the game MUCH LESS desire to cheat. If I'm gonna get banned for something I better be doing it, this is shoddy work done by an outdated company that needs to get burned to the ground and pissed on. Anyways Rocket if you could please, would having the current weapons / vehicles ect files in my DayZ addons folder mixed with the 1.7.0 dayz code and trying to join a 1.7.0 server have caused this? I mean the new version's have the different debug monitor and stuff on the right side like the face n hunger n cold. Could this have caused a false positive with the GUID monitor and have been the reason I got banned? Because I played just fine until I tried reverting to the 1.7.0 server? [hr'] I need a member of the dev team to review this issue and let me know if using the updated files of DayZ with the 1.7.0 patch could have caused the false positive GUID hack detection. When I was attempting to revert I figured through process of elimination ( joined a 1.7.0 server and receiving invalid file errors ) I would eventually get the right versions. I didn't and instantly received a ban and the battle-eye people did absolutely no investigation into the matter.

We lost all our vehicles and tents temporarily on your server. We play there regularly. You've probably seen our group. Azur, Chronic, lilchronic, specsniper, Nazgul, Willem, Jet and sometimes others. After the 1.7.1.5 patch today our vehicles popped back up at our campsite after being gone for a day. We played for a while and then the server lagged out and probably crashed. When the server came back up all our vehicles and tents were gone again.

Same thing happened to my group on US77. Everything is gone, tents and vehicles. It all happened after a while of crazy server lag, then it kicked everyone. We are hoping another server reset brings everything back.

All of US5 was completely wiped of tents, vehicles and placed(wire, tank traps, sand bags) items Friday afternoon.

Some restarts brought back my tents, and vehicles. But if I join now the screens gets black and says [edit] "This server is running an incorrect version of the server side application. You cannot play on this server. if you are server admin please contact DayZ Staff." wtf.

And? =P. We have 15~ people we play with. We need plenty of vehicles!

Hoarding the servers vehicles. Dat Karma bro

we just lost everything too. we had 4 vehicles all loaded up with guns/ammo/supplies and they all disappeared and didnt respawn in their usual spots. was having massive lag spikes so i just decided to restart the server when it came back up nothing was there. i just took it down now (seattle 34) see if theres a statement or a rollback coming. i mean i was running through a town and no zeds were spawning, no loot, nothing. hopefully we get a rollback and all our stuff back >.

But was your items on the ground? We had 7 vehicles slam packed with loot. All vehicles gone, all loot piled where each vehicle was lol. This is just weird.

last night I got spawned out in the middle of nowhere all my gear was gone etc so I had to kill myself and respawn, I went to my tent and its no longer there.. So I'm thinking something odd is going on with vehicles/tents.. My tractor is gone also

So ok, me and my friend found a downed heli yesterday and we got some great loot out of it. He had an FNFAL with 6 mags, I had an MK48. We had every utilities and filled with medical supplies and food and even found a couple of vehicles to fix. We were living the good life, so we went to the other airfield to look for maybe an nvg and some tires for the vehicles we found but guess what? We died! There were no shoot outs, there were no snipers, there were no zombie combat. We were sneaking around and were about to leave the place when both of us started bleeding, getting shocked, fractured and then died in an instant. WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPENED!? I've had this happened to me before but that's when I press "v" to get inside an elevated house and it eats me up, or if I'm in a tight place but we were in the middle of the airfield. An open space, nothing that could crush us. I don't get bummed out when I die from bandits or zombies but this? Damn man, I died for no reason. We both died for no reason. Maybe it was somekind of abusive server that /killed us? Has this happened to anyone?

On the outset of getting this mod I was a real nice guy, always willing to team up, shared supplies with other players, etc. etc. Had some real great encounters with other players, helped them fix up vehicles and survive out in the great wilderness they call the north. That all changed when I helped a guy fend off at least 3 cities worth of zombies, expending all my ammo and crippling me, only to be popped in the head for my empty m4 and alice pack. So dumbfounded by this random act of generosity rewarded with complete ass-holishness, I stumbled into the nearest barn from my coastal spawn, found myself a CZ with 4 clips, got up on top of a hill overlooking elektro, and began a murder spree so heinous it should go down in history. Noobies looting the firestation? Bang, headshot. I'd even say over sidechat to their friends looking for the sniper "meet me at X, we'll take him down together!" only to greet them with a sniper bullet to the dome. Didn't even loot their bodies, left them to the flies/zombies.... After I racked up something around 16 murders, elektro was a ghost town. Not a shot was fired for half an hour. I logged off and went outside to reassess my life.

Restart again ... it might come back. AFAIK tents and vehicles are not saved on the local server.

We ask because we think we are still being trolled. Only a troll would dump loot on the ground and take the vehicles. Who would dump an M107 or M4 SD on the ground when they can keep it in the vehicle they are stealing?

You guys may have chased us (I didn't see any vehicles pursuing for at least 800m behind us as we drive on a paved road) from Kabanino to Grishino, but you spawned with the UAZ (red), all outside the car, as we drove through Kabanino when you killed the Hilux driver. You all had m107 TWS's and L85A2's, and I barrelled through trees with the V3S when you did it so you couldn't kill me. We had killed you several times, and repeatedly you reappeared conveniently behind us in an open plain as we were checking all around us.You can't keep your story's straight, the videos you're posting show you using the OMGHAX0RWEPONS (that actually are in the game) with no proof of you actually getting it from one of the accused.

Items stored in tents and vehicles (as well as vehicles themselves) are very bugged at the moment. Don't store anything vital for the time being.

Tents and vehicles are saved in the master database, not server side. ;) US 10 fits your requirements, however, at the current moment there's an issue with the hive that affecting a lot of servers as of this post. Some packet loss. :(

So that was a fantastic reset on the RU 9 server, all the tents gone, and vehicles.. Hatchback, atv, bus, as50, m24.. We love this patch :D contemplating if it's even any point continuing to play if resets like this will continue to come without warning.. And this server was patched to the lastest patch aswell.. Oh well. Time to find a new server :D Warning fellow bandits: ignore RU 9, mad de synchs, and dead resets without warning! We wasted about 48hrs getting the camp with vehicles up, so don't risk it urself :) kind regards, Z

It wasn't the main intended feature' date=' but yes, it is a side effect of the community we have, hence why on the front page it says 'Slay Bandit's' as a feature. Never heard of zombies being able to hear voice chat, gonna need some verification on this. If you're concerned about bandits hearing your voice chat, use TS/Ventrilo/Mumble/etc The only thing I got out of this is you pay entirely too much attention to the scoreboard/leaderboard, and it only reinforces peoples beliefs that it should be removed. Also, I kill an average of 30-35 people a day, and maybe 1-2 of them are bandits. If there's so many bandits as people say there are, how come i'm not seeing them, especially since where I hunt, is called bandit heaven? Then rocket is getting exactly what he intended, for you to feel defeated by the game. Been alive without a single murder before, for 4-5 days before, it's all in how you play. Every game out there is a revolving door, people come and people go. ---- Apparently the two man blood infusion isn't enough, you need a team of 8 to hoist a 55 gallon drum of blood up To quote you, "the game will degenerate into a pathetic FPS mess.". There is nothing positive about this suggestion, infact, when the debug info goes away, you won't even be able to see your kill count so it's a moot point anyway. If you want scoreboards and points, this isn't the game for you. I thought vehicles in general already did that? Unless you're referring to structures, something he already has on the backburner. Although I can't help but feel that once the advantage is given to groups, it will only spawn groups of bandits that will utilize it, and then it will be whined into submission by the very people who wanted it in the first place. The intent of a bandit is to kill you, additionally if it upsets you, that is a bonus. The only person that this is news to, is apparently the minority of players that come to the forums crying

All our vehicles on Chicago 54 missing as well. Only thing different is that all the loot that was in the vehicles is spread out on the ground where the trucks were.
