http://www.twitch.tv/axles/b/321595487 They find the vehicles at 1:56:48 and the server cuts at 2:05:40. Thats about the time it would take a bandit in Stary Sabor to get to his little 'camp' way north after looting me. Plus the time it would take to kill all the zombies he would aggro at the Military Tents. I mean, SERSLAH. He comes back, notices his vehicles are gone. Looks for a second, and then stops the server. And then he trash talks me in chat. Seriously dude, grow up. Silly little acorn. Mature already.

Are Vehicle's still enabled or when I see them are they from the people using cheat engine to hack to get them ? Also if they are disabled when do you think they will bring them back ? ~ Epidemic ~

vehicles is already re addded... since a week i think, just the chopper are not available for now. (It was do with a server-side patch)

When are vehicles gonna be re added ?

If I find a vehicle on one server and park them somewhere, if I change servers will the same vehicle be in that spot? Or is it only on the server I found it on?

Wow.. :\ Would have been nice to have a warning for this. Me and my clan have had about 5 vehicles all FULL with loot including some of the best stuff you can get in the game, all sorts of stuff and now we just lost it completely without any warning.. We weren't one of the clans hiding them outside of the map either - We had them findable.. now we all just lost our loot which has taken us a couple of weeks to collect. Really lame. EDIT: Oh nice, Just remembered I chucked my NVGs and GPS in an atv before I went for a raid this morning and now have lost both of those.. Had those NVGs for about a month and have only ever seen one pair in about 200 hours of DayZ

Is this online on all servers yet? Just wondering if I should start looking for vehicles or not..

Cool. Yeah I'm trying to understand why it's duping the camp. Might be a database issue? I have no idea Sup. I know that last night the database crapped out and Rocket had to bring it back up again, and then I went to bed. Then I woke up and the vehicles all got reset. I'm assuming this is related to the vehicle database being reset. I would need a dev to answer that question. If we can leave this thread open until a dev responds that would be great bone.

Has this happened yet?... I have a few weapons loaded onto vehicles that i'd prefer not to lose

The thing is, with the classes as I described them in my earlier post, the downside to being a military officer is that you would have no skill, no ability fix vehicles, etc. And AKs are relatively easy weapons to find, and the M9 is rather weak (but better than a Mak). The only real benefit is adding storyline (and I'd imagine there would be unique skins for each class, as well). EDIT: Also, spawning as a military officer would, as I described, spawn them in a military location, which are pretty high risk. Spawning in as a soldier with a Kalashnikov on an airstrip when there's the possibility of a sniper being there already waiting to snipe you is pretty risky. So it definitely would have its downsides. --------------------------------------------------------------------- I am actually of the opinion that the character should start with nothing BUT their main trait/skill. Secondly' date=' the purpose of adding these independent skills is to encourage teamwork, as people would NEED each other. I'm not sure of any other possible solution. --------------------------------------------------------------------- I actually think the classes as I described them are rather balanced, and like I said, if nothing else I'd prefer the classes to all be exactly the same in starting gear with THE EXCEPTION of their main trait. This main trait is entirely removed from combat, giving no one an advantage over another, but making it harder to survive on your own as you lack the skills to do everything (which is somehow - and unrealistically - possible). The aiming thing was a completely different idea, and in no way needs to be a part of any of this. Like I said, it's just a compilation of ideas and concepts. I do agree that it's stupid, it's just a way to add realism between classes. Does it make sense that a fisherman is going to be able to shoot a gun as proficiently as a military or police officer? No. And don't worry, Rocket will never implement any sort of grinding or leveling in this game. But you do know, at range, your pistol will not fire dead center to where your iron sights are pointing. There is a dispersion radius based on how you're moving, how you're standing, how you're aiming, etc. The 'accuracy effect' would only widen that radius for lower skilled classes. And it's just a concept, all I really want to discuss here is HOW DOES EVERYONE KNOW HOW TO GUT AN ANIMAL. Or fix a vehicle. Ain't realistic. (Plus, there needs to be more teamwork, as I've said over and over).

I'm not arguing against your opinion Exigo. I just think all your "hahaha fuck you offmappers" etc. comments sound immature. I'm not placing Stuff outside the map and I lost lot's of vehicles which I stored inside the borders of chernarus so no need for insults Thygrrr. ;) Again: I agree with all the points you make just don't act like a kid by flaming around in all the topics.

And that campaign was reasonable, and those protestations have resulted in some of these changes. Some of us would like to have a shot at vehicles, and you guys who just grab them all when your admin buddy times a restart for you, then pull them all off of the map for you and your friends get annoying. For now, going off map is allowable, but when there are only finite vehicles per server and they are being hoarded off map... that's just a cheap move. Not against any rule, but cheap and what I would expect of cheap players. I would prefer a lesser timer like three days, I hope it's significantly less than 7 (I know, it's sooper sekrit!).

Glad to see more people joining the group, I've sent invites to all, currently we are at 5 members with a possible 3 more on the way, once we hit 8 or 10, we'll attempt to group up and begin our hunt, of course our first mission will be to get every one geared up. Then the real fun will began. Can't wait until we got vehicles. Oh! I suppose I should mention, we are probably going to be joining 1.7 to 1.7 beta servers so make sure your Dayz mod is up to date or at least 1.7

a para drop would be nice maybe with steerable parachute or static so new lives spawn all over and there is no concentration of fresh beans, also the tent cities with vehicles would be more vulnerable. being ejected from a plane is just as disorientating as being washed up on shore

MAD DASH TO THE VEHICLES!!! 3! 2! 1! GO GO GO GO!

MessHall, They HAD to be removed, causing enough lag to really jack up the servers when used. I doubt they will give them back the way they were or in the same positions. Glad vehicles are going to respawn now and are randomized, should stop people from farming the old spawns for that particular vehicle.

***UPDATED POST*** Hey everyone, Just want to update this thread to our current situation. We closed our group for a while since we felt that we had reached a solid number of players (18) and didnt want to grow too much too quickly and lose intimacy. So, now after building up our core group more, we are willing again to add some extra players to our group. As usual, we are looking for Swiss German speaking players who are looking to join an open group of players. We are fairly laid back, dont take things too seriously in the sense that we are human and we all make mistakes. We enjoy our little raids every now and then, looking for better loot and vehicles. Our core group has been playing together for several weeks, so if you chose to join, you will find a friendly, semi-organized group of Swiss German players who are all between 20-30 years of age. Almost forgot to mention that we use mumble voice communication to talk in-game AND have our own server at LU161 :) baN http://steamcommunity.com/id/MatsudaKatsuo http://steamcommunity.com/groups/DayZCH skype: tecgear

I think your question was answered by Dizzymagoo. If they were there and then weren't after a crash you need to make sure they are spawning. Sometimes it takes up to three restarts for my server to load tents and vehicles.

The server your vehicles are on.

great, now we have to run around to get the vehicles fixed again. just great guys

Going at it alone for about two weeks now, decided it's now time to find a partner. I'm looking for someone who at least knows the basics to surviving(how to bandage, what to do if lost, the difference between morphine and pain killers, etc) A mic to chat on ventrilo. (skype is okay too but I prefer ventrilo) Eastern time zone would be ideal but central works too. The way I play is everyone is an enemy, so we won't be hunting players exactly but if we come across anyone we will kill them if the moment is on our side, none of that "friendly in cherno?" crap. Age doesn't matter as long as you can work well with a partner. My goal for this game with my future partner is to establish a camp with vehicles and supplies and surviving as long as possible. Shoot me a pm or post here.

Now we can finally fix and ride in vehicles... Crazy thing is, I saw my first vehicle yesterday, unfortunately, someone was already driving it away. Maybe when I get back on later today I'll find some nice vehicles to move around in!

Hehe, well a generator attached to a power box of a building would be cool. Temporary lighting, light refuelling vehicles. Or maybe a Generator powers an area... Would be cool, useful and damn well atmospheric.

We've set up bases that lasted weeks without being found, and we knew choppers were working in that server. I think being able to magically find every single vehicle on the server while flying higher than the server's maximum view distance cretes serious gameplay problems. I still think that being a coward and hiding in a pile of loot and helicopters out in the middle of nowhere with no chance of other ppl finding it is a serious gameplay problem for everybody else on the server. Your denying other ppl content. Your denying other ppl a chance to get that Landrover or Ural truck. Cry your salty tears. This was bound to happen, soon tents will also follow. Love the changes guys, keep at it Trust me, if we could stash our vehicles in a dense forest where choppers wouldn't be able to see them, we would. But choppers don't even need to see them; they can see teh dots on the map. As I already said, I'm glad we can't set up camps outside the map, because I do think it's cheating and it's unfair. However, I think it's equally unfair that choppers have such great power that it's effectively impossible to hide vehicles anywhere on the map. The chopper radar should have been removed along with the ability to save outside of the map.

Great news! Though I'm a little sad I'll lose my ATV it will be good to have vehicles respawned again,so everyone can have his oportunity to find one now. Also any ETA of 1.7.1? Thanks!
