you should be happy you can play i have been waiting for 4 weeks due to this bug. and i still cant fucking play It's hardly playing if the server crashes every 5 minutes and all your gear / vehicles are gone...

This was on a night server. Last Night.. It's pitch black outside, and raining when 3 navy seal sniper's come over a PBX that looks stranded by the shore north east of Berenzino and the lumbermill. One of the guys check's if it's working, and to our great joy, it is in nearly perfect shape. We refueled it and then headed out to pick up a seal infiltrating Elektro. Minutes later after picking up the Seal we had at elektro we then continued to our next objective. The island in the middle of the ocean.. It looks deserted, but one can never be sure, so we park the boat abit from sure and get in, apparently unseen.. We neak up through the woods, crouching.. trying to not make a sound to alert whoever could be camping there.. Place look's deserted, it's nearly to quiet here we thought, so we sent a spotter up in the radio tower to spot for us while we covered him.. The island seems empty, so we get back to the boat, after killing a cow, and roasting it to get some long needed food in our stomach we were ready to set our next objective.. Problem was that, at this time we didn't have a clear objective, as one of our seals found it interresting to disconnect in a moving boat.. So we waited for him to come back, wondering if he would spawn in the middle of the sea. Minutes later. . . Phoenix is back.. We can continue, when we suddenly hear over our teamchat that he spotted movement along the shore.. We slow down the boat and turn our vision to shore.. We saw a light moving up and down.. Someone was running with a flashlight, and we got a good idea.. Let's check him out, so we all head to shore, then plotted the direction he was running and then we crawled into ambush positions... "FREEZE BOY, TURN OF THAT FUCKING FLASHLIGHT RIGHT NOW!" "MOVE A MUSCLE AND DIE!" We proceed to check his backpack, sadly he is butt naked basically.. Freshmeat we reconed.. We didn't wanna kill him, we aren't that heartless.. So we told him to turn on the flashlight, and then he saw the decked out seals infront of him.. We told him to follow us, and then we brought him to the boat.. We got him to jump in and then we ended up bringing him out to the abandoned island.. Where we dropped him off, to fend for himself.. "he thanked us for the trip, but as he couldn't see where he got left off, since you need NVG's to see where you are moving durign night, while in vehicles, he simply wrote.. "Thanks!" We responded with a certain "Anytime mate!" "Enjoy your stay!" Inwhich i think he figured something was wrong, as we drive away we are laughing so hard we are crying on mumble.. Fantastic moment in DayZ, and one of the funniest event's i've been a part of. Big kudos to whoever we jacked, the fact that you didn't disconnect makes you a legend with our gang.. We will always remember you.. Your name started with T and was short, and this was on Norway 1/De54 don't remember which oen it was.. Not that bad of a story all in all but :p It was bloody hillarious

There's a hacker in FR7 who keeps killing all the survivors daily. He did it yesterday and did it again today. I lost NVG's among other rare equipment and my jeep and motorcycle because of this guy. I have no idea who it is, but apparently he does that shit daily. He somehow blows up all the survivors, the vehicles and the buildings. Most of the buildings at Elektro are collapsed because of this guy.

Yea probably a groups vehicle that you found. Many folks are using the 4x4 vehicles as movable storage now.

Just gonna get straight to the point and wanted to ask about this server, Whats up with it and why can no one connect to it? The max player number is now 15, i use to always play on this server and have no problems at all and then since 2 days ago i havent been able to connect at all or anything. Im just curious to know if this server went rebel or if its something wrong with the hoster, Because i had stocked up my Tent with goodies and had a few vehicles with it :(( now im sad cause i cant drive around or get to my stuff :cool: Thanks in advance if anyone knows anything.

We do not know where all the tents and vehicles are. the only access Soppa gived us his the Rcon , and a readable access to the Log , nothing else. If there is a way to know where all tents and vehicles are I don't know it, and I don't want to know it , I'm hunting cheaters with their own cheated / duplicated weapons and that's all. It take me a lot of time , that's making me raging , but I will continue as long as I can. cause i want to protect the good gameplay of this mod for every other player on our server.

I was wandering around far up north, almost at the border of playable land, when I happened across a large supply truck (Ural) crashed into a tree. (It might have just been parked but it was directly up against it so I assumed it was crashed) Now, what struck me as strange about it was the INSANE amount of munitions packed into this thing, it almost seemed more like a random spawn like a crashed heli rather than something that a player or group of players could scrounge together. The reason I think it was a random spawn is because from what i've heard (I dont have much experience with repairing and maintaining vehicles in DayZ and I may be wrong about this) player vehicles seem to get erased sometimes when servers are reset. It had 7 tents, 16 stanag magazines, 23 units of shotgun shells for differing shotgun types, 2 200 round m249 ammo belts, 9 DMR mags, 6 jerry cans and a random assortment of other items. (sadly, no weapons to go with the ammunition) Now, is this a random spawn, or did a group of players actually manage to gather all of these items while at the same time avoiding server resets? (It had a little bit of gas left in it so I took what I needed and then drove it a few miles away from where it was then ditched it, just in case it did belong to someone) :D Also, that list of ammo that I wrote out wasn't ALL of the ammo that was in the truck, those are just the high tier types(minus the shotgun shells)

DE6 could be rented from now. there are vehicles on but no Chopper. price will be 50€ Monthly if u take it 2 Month i give a discount of 10%. just write a PN or Email to [email protected]

bump DE2 still to have there are vehicles on!

No, it's by mission file ID if I understand it correctly and it is I guess seeded by something not within the admins control ( or at least that I don't think is supposed to be in the admin's control) and from what I understand mission ID's under 1,000 or so currently have vehicles...

Ok im fairly new as i joined this game on saturday but i have got the hang of it quickly. this is to help you if your new and to provide some tips. 1- WATCH THE ZOMBIES: watching where they walk is very usefull, it will allow you to get in and out of where you are going efficiently. 2- SCOUT THE AREA: doing this will allow you to see how many zombies there are, where they are, where they are heading to, see what building are accessable, and see if there are any players there. 3- DONT RUN UNLESS YOUR IN THE WOODS/KNOW WHAT YOUR DOING: never run, it attracts zombies way to easily, players too, stay crouched and use crouch + shift, its more effective than going prone because you can get away easier if you have agrod zombies without a weapon. 4- DONT IMEDIENTLY HEAD FOR CITIES: you will die, from a bandit/camper or just someone being a prick killing people without asking if they are friendly, although you will find good loot in cities, best to avoid them if you dont have a weapon. 5- DONT WASTE AMMO: this is if you find a weapon, dont just shoot every zombie you see, you will find yourself fucked later if you go around with no ammo when you really need it in a situation eg. zombies wont stop follwing you / player confrontations. 6- AVOID PLAYERS: from my experience its best to avoid players, especially if they have guns, they will shot you, unless they are nice and actually realise you have nothing worth taking. 7- USE ONLINE MAPS (best to find one with a key): you will get lost without one, dont know where you are? look at your surroundings. eg. oh theres a lighthouse that i can only swim to, oh im near electro. 8- GET WHAT ITEMS YOU FIND: you may need them without realising, find a empty tin can? throw it to get rid of zombies. find tons of food/drink? take it you can drop it later if you have no room for ammo/blood pacts ect. 9- USE THE FOREST TO GET TO PLACES: people drive around on vehicles, they may kill you, they may not. Also zombies spawn near little huts you may find. the forest is also VERY good for scoping out the place your intending on heading to. If you have any other questions please feel free to ask, im fairly new, im not a pro, but i know my way around and how to get in and out of places efficiently. Current items because of following these tips: Ak-74 - 3 mags makarov - 4 mags 1 bloodpac 2 cans of drink 2 cans of beans bottle compass knife watch alice pack oh and iv only been alive 2 hrs max.. ;) happy survivng!

TomCat, the reason they haven't taken action is because they are drowning in real shit to do without having time to police cowboy server admins. Between the constant flood of new hackers and hacks, the breach of their site and data, the countless bugs that come in with each new update / feature and trying to keep up with the constant flood of PM's I guarantee they don't have time to police each and every server and to follow every thread. It's not an efficient use of their time. That being said, it's absolutely clear that the Devs want the server admins to be very restrained in their use of power. Nothing outside of keeping the general peace is permitted and I know you get all pissy when some coward DC's on you and you want to show off your e-peenbanhammer but until you get an actual OK from someone with authority you are absolutely and clearly unjustified in doing so. Best thing people can do is just stay off your fucking server, I know three clans of 10+ that had set up camps and collected vehicles only to say fuck it because you think the server is your own personal kingdom where you can do whatever the hell you want. Also, grow the fuck up, swearing is one thing but throwing insults like you do is just childish and an admin saying 'faggot' like it's no big deal is just sad.

"I used moronic in the literal sense. Also, sorry for being so harsh, but the cons far outweigh the pros, there is no good that can come from this." Yes saying something is moronic while making a moronic post is Ironic ;) But seriously joking aside. If you read my original post you can't say no good one come of it. But you may well be right that cons out weigh the pros. I just wonder about the contradiction in the game, it encourages team work but has a perma (sort of) death system. So you die and are supposed to spawn again as a completely new person. But people playing as a part of a group on TS have no loss of continuity all they suffer is 10 minutes of frustration until their mates pick them up and give them their gear back , after magically knowing where this reincarnation of their old friend has appeared on the shore line. In many ways Dayz is like two different games. You have the start where lone survivors struggle for survival , dying over and over until they manage finally to progress. A harch unforgiving world of pain, fear and death! Calling out to strangers begging them to be friengly. Then you have another game where you sit in the wilds with a bunch of mates , not really scared of much at all. Driving around in landrovers etc Communicating instantly across the whole map. When you die it has very little effect and your loot quality gets better and better because of this. And you slay all you encounter because all they can offer you is a threat. Don't get me wrong I really enjoy that part of the game to be honest, had a cracking time last night with my mates hoofing around in our vehicles. But you cannot deny the dichotomy inherent in the two aspects.

I used to play with just a few guys, and we had a camp that never got seriously raided for at least 3 weeks. We also set up another camp so that we didn't have all our eggs in one basket that was near a town with supplies that were hard to come by at our old camp. It was working out nicely and one time I ran all the way back to the old camp to see if it was gutted, but no it seemed like no one had found it. Well we started getting more and more folks playing together and started finding vehicles, at last, and that is when our camps started to get raided. We first just went back to the original camp and that lasted about a week before some joker came in and stole one of the shitty cars. He died quite spectacularly, I hear. Anyways, my advice is to just not care if your camp gets raided. Unless it is several people doing the raiding, you won't lose too much. This joker, jdz, is a tool. Camps are not only used by people that die, to get back to the place gear-wise that they left of, they are used to make survival more likely when you are still alive. They don't ruin the game as long as people are using them to survive, but not to game the game. It is a place that groups can meet up and set off from, and it gives you a goal beyond just finding food and water and not getting shot or eaten. I had a character that lived for 20 days, and it was mostly due to smart scavenging and storing of stuff we could use on regular bases. I personally hate dying and then just running back to friends or camp, to just have almost all the goodies I had before, and I am sure there are plenty of people that use camps like we do, and maybe grab one or two hard to find items when they do die.

At NW of Lopatino, W of the little lake, i found 2 vehicles with tones of tents, and one guy shooting and trying his AS50, i shot him nice and clean, then want to loot him (full stuff) and got shot by another one. I respawned at kamenka and headed up right to that place, once arrived, 3 guys was blowing up everything (i saw little arma 2 ammo box), and left with there 2 vehicles) heres a screenshot of the "ammo box" http://img15.hostingpics.net/pics/434533arma2oa20120619090944696.jpg The one i shot earlier was "Breed" dont know the rest of them.

I hope it won't affect any of our vehicles. Have you considered starting a twitter page for these sorts of updates considering it took me a while to find this thread?

Lately I've been seeing a lot of people showing off their 'tent cities' and I think this really defeats the purpose of the game, along with pitching their tents full of high tier gear outside of the mapped area. The problem is that this game is about survival, not wanting to die and having emotions attached to your character and these 'tent cities' ruin all of that. How? Well usually these 'tent cities' consist of at least 5 tents and have a lot of good gear in them, even when this gear isn't needed by the owner of the tents. Now I'm well aware that these guys have earnt their gear and probably went through great risks to come across it but it defeats the purpose of the game. Why? Because death has little to no consequence. You've died, bugger, I guess I'll just have to run for 30 minutes to my tent to get some new stuff out of my tent. I'm well aware that this is supposed to be realistic but realistic doesn't always mean enjoyable, I think if there was something that could limit the amount of tents pitched in a certain area, then this game would be a lot better.The same also goes for vehicles to a certain extent but no where near as far. These are just my thoughts, I'd love to hear other peoples thoughts. Thanks for taking the time to read this.

helicopters and vehicles are in this version?

Lol. Good job Rocket. I enjoy everything done so far. Smoother, Night is night once again <3, Zombie's 'see' (annoying bugger's, they still need some oomph somewhere... not more dmg not speed.... idk) Server's load like LIGHTNING. Like the new Sounds, the anims, I can use skins again, finding vehicles left and right, and kits. Excellent. Excellent. Excellent. So glad to be a tester =) Donate Bar Please? I need to give you my Money.

My mate and i farmed out Balota last night for about an hour with the new patch. Seemed to be spawn city. Shottie with Flashlight, MP5A5 ,M4A1 ,G17, AKM , AK74, AK74 Kobra,Coyote backpack plus ammo and the usual other gear. We did a quick run from Cherno hospital where i grabbed a stash of bloodbags before hitting Balota. We ended with about 50 odd kills a piece while waiting for enough ammo to spawn so we could begin our intended journey up North. Got attacked near the hangars first by Zeds and i needed a blood transfusion after losing 8000 in a matter of seconds..gah! My mate gave me some sweet sweet painkillers too.Next zed attack a couple of minutes later i went down with one hit near the tower and before my mate could get a bag into me i bled out, busted legs and shaking like a freak. He covered my gear while i ran up from Kamenka with a freshy. Grabbed my gear and then we got attacked inside one of the hangars, the zeds kept respawning in the hanger right in front of me so i bagged 5 kills in about 7 seconds. Weird. Saw one bolt past me and out through the rear hangar wall..never to be seen again. Usain Bolt. My mate went down outside to a new style hopper, one hit, busted legs. I bandaged him as he was at 3000 blood by the time i got there but just as i killed the zed he died..minus 16000 blood. My turn to guard his gear while he ran down from Prigorodki, we did not want to lose that big backpack . Held off a few more Zeds while waiting, sometimes losing them by running out of sight sometimes not. My mate arrived with 12 or so zeds on his ass, i popped 8 from the tower and then the rest got stuck inside of the shipping crate just standing around. A couple of minutes later when we were in one of the hangars we heard shooting near the tower so we skirted out to the vehicles on the runway and took up position to take down whoever had turned up. We have been shot waaaaay too many times trying to be friendly and initiate contact, so we decided we were not risking our gear this time. Soon as old mate popped around the corner on his way to the hangar we let loose (sorry Theorix :D)..both of us missing and he made it into the hangar, we kept him trapped for about 30 seconds firing random shots from both of our covering points.Chat popped up, poor dude was freaking out .. DONT SHOOT, IM FRIENDLY! FUCK! I DONT WANT TO DIE! ' he bolted out and i fired a volley with the ak74 hitting all around him but not on him and he made it into the tower unscathed. We ended up having a chat and hooked up with Theorix, told him sorry for the scare but we were sick of getting shot on sight, raided the military camp near Bolota as a group ,filling up on ammo , ending up sitting inside of the wire popping zeds before we exited for the night. Quick observations from us re the new patch - Seems the spawn at Balota is a lot more fruitful than it used to be , especially in the small time we were there.The zeds definitely pack a lot more punch, broken bones happen more easily and you bleed out a lot quicker. We still managed to get around roughly the same as we were before the patch, we are not crawling everywhere as you can still drag and bag them in buildings rather easily. Spawning in buildings in groups is a bit of a worry though.They do seem to pick you up from a longer range now. The new animation for the hopper is damn freaky, like that freaked out chick from the ring getting out of the well. Damn. We normally carry 2 bloodpacks each when we journey inland, from now on we will be taking 4, and trying to avoid the zeds more. Tonight we have to head to Cherno to try and get to the hospital ..should be fun :D

I had test this, and the reason it seems to happen is if you run non-beta version of Arma, with 1.7 (or above) patch, you will have this. You cannot use items (right click disabled), you will be ejected out of the vehicles, all of your actions will be erased when you log off, you will be invisible to others, and have no hud. Easiest way to check, log in the way you do now, run somewhere+change up items, log out, and log back in, you will spawn in same place with original items. Easiest fix - install six updater and use it to launch the game.

I dont mean like minecraft what i mean is like add a couple of items/weapons that you can create with combineing items, For example: 1.molotov=strong alcoholic beverage/gas+paper(or just anything dry)+box of matches. 2.bullets=scrap metal+powder. note:i saw that your beginning to add melee weapons so heres an idea. 3.pile of wood+ scrap metal creates a random melee weapon like a bat or something the crafting/combining way doesn't have to be EXACTLY like this i was only making examples to show you what i'm talking about+ this will make better use of items you use for vehicles like scrap metal and gas and all that cos that junk you find alot but cars you don't.

I want to start a server, and I probably will regardless of the answer to this question, but: can you control which vehicles will be on the server? For example, I've seen some servers have no vehicles, some have some vehicles, and some have helicopters as well. Is that controlled by the server admin, or what?

Who was it that we stole three vehicles and a but-load of weapons / ammunition from on the US 10 Chicago server earlier this day? ;) Think we managed to kill four people too. Just want to say thanks.
