Server junping could be dodged by making only specific zones build-able, and also making those places spawn-unable zones, so if u disconnect in that zone, u would reconnect like 20 meters away, but still near the place. Further more when trying to dc there the server would tell u that can't be done, that way avoiding that instant dc and alt+f4 methods. In case those methods are used, previous solution would be implemented. So, if u wanna barricade a position, u would be able to do it at windows and door positions, and if u wanna build a fort, the mechanic would be the same as the vehicles, u need to find remmnants of a previous usable structure, and fortify it. This way u also avoid the server being filled by 100 forts, and also avoid them being in impossible places, like on the side of an elevated terrain.- The idea is obvious, and there are no more disadvatages in it than vehicle mechanics cause its almost the same, only detail is that u won't be moving in it, you would be using to spend some safe time, o Still only a suggestion. Also, to avoid survivors over populating the zone, building or barricading would make near zombies converge on the position. That way survivors have more choices to make: join the construction team and risk total party kill, join it and loot all the materiales and create pandemia, or get the hell away from them.

I know that a few people have asked for buildings or the ability to secure them. That makes sense and I like the idea. But heres my thought. A simple blind or fighting position. With the e-tool you can dig a postion that gives you cover and some concealment when you are in the prone this is like a hasty fighting position. Add more time to the process and you can dig a fighting position this allows you to stand on offers better protection. Add the hachet and option to collect brush you can camoflage the postion. Sand bags may also be used to offer additional protection however in agame at this point it looks like they only make a wall. Blinds - Using natural vegitation, With the hatchet you collect brush and create a imprompto blind. Blinds are not bullet proof but they hide your gear or tent or your position. This will hide your character in a prone or kneeling postion. Blinds - When combined in the same area can also hide vehicles.

Yup happened on Atlanta 14, lost weeks worth of vehicles and gear....

We got hackers that spawn weapons and vehicles to servers. Quick travel to locations. Change entire players base of server to different skins spawning them to the de-bug ocean. Got Hackers that can even kill entire servers with the entry of a code or touch of a button. With almost no limitations you got people out there ruining the fun experience everyone should have, and i haven't seen any news of it. Then you got stupid crap like http://www.elitepvpers.com/forum/general-gaming-discussion/1923092-arma-2-dayz-hack.html. Anyone heard of future Battle eye updates or anything that's being done to stop all this. Never heard of a game with no hackers, But i see the population of the hackers/cheaters going unchecked. Never ONCE encountered a hacker until this past week were it appears they've gone crazy on screwing with servers. Any server, not just one.. all of them.. Where ever they feel like jumping on and being a fool.

EDIT5: T'was a good day, got 8 vehicles gathered and even managed to defend em some on a couple occasions! 3 guys were trying to steal the bus I had, and as fortune would have it I was close by, so I headshotted 2. Third ran with a jeep. Then a chopper appears, apparently part of the same crew scouting the area. They spot my camp, being a tent city that it is and the vehicle storage area. Bad luck because they were spread out before, and only today I gathered them together, or most of them, for the screen shot. Well, 30 min later, I'm approaching the camp and I get ambushed from behind, chopper crew has blown up and or stolen everything and that's that. It was a good 3 weeks worth. But that's the spirit of the game and the crew royally overplayed me. So, at least I got 2 of you, and I'm happy for that. :shy: Now to raid some cherno! Good luck and happy travels! EDIT6: Here's the link to what happened to my vehciles :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SDVo4zC5bdI

Aye, thanks. I enjoy your vids as well :D Finally got part 4 up, and 5 is on the way. Part 4 includes finding large camps with some motherloot. Multiple boats and vehicles as well. One of the more exciting episodes this series :cool:

just hide it and save it i hide my vehicles in central electrozavodsk

"[LLJK] Monkeys" seems to have hacked this server, as from atleast 18GMT on, the ingame map showed the location of all "BLUFOR" and zombies. We observed that a green "dot" was approaching one of our party, 700m from us, where we had our ATV (vehicles were also visible). He was coming at a very high speed and our member reported seeing him as rubberbanding around while crouched. Surprisingly, our party member managed to kill him in the exact same moment as he was killed himself (one shot). We were running back to get the gear from our fallen member, as the area was hit with an airstrike, at which point we immediately logged off for fear of being killed in various ways :) The gear of the guy in question was a DMR sniper, night vision gear and rangefinder, so ye... (no we didn't keep it, no fun to get those items this way). The guy started bombing various players with a jet after this first explosion. It's still ongoing as of 20:25 CET.

PMC has armored Suburbans with mini-guns. The helo you are talking about sounds like a Ka-60 which is also from PMC. Now you know. http://www.arma2.com/arma-2-pmc-vehicles/arma2-pmc-vehicles_en.html

I thought hacked vehicles explode upon one entering them? Either story is a lie or the vehicle was legit.

Pagetitle have just changed to "Vehicles" http://dayzwiki.com/wiki/index.php?title=Vehicles /sEi

Atleast I hope we can get just a bit information about this vehicles thing. I really hate running so much, the map is huge on foot. But can the staff please come with a update or ETA?.. This topic is old, and I think the fans deserve an update :-)

That would be correct. I'm always interested in what can be done to a game but when i first started arma it seemed like battle eye had stopped all hackers for the longest time. Actually tho as in all games there was the elite few who knew how to do that never shared. Ive found or done many things people didnt know how to or where to find it and never shown it. This includes everything glitches, exploits, cheats, but then you get the people who want to show off how cool they are or rep and they show it off. At first it was just getting guns and vehicles. Now as ive been reading people are doing all kinds of things that ruins everyones fun. there is multiple ways of doing it. The way im figureing peole are doing it is so viral i bet that if i told rocket he would be like " Yea google told me, because its every where! Rocket if you dont know ill send you links. P.s. this isnt extortion but if i show you the stuff will you make my char a female again? i miss her and my friends miss starring at her ass on long runs lol. (._. ) sigh. Like i said ill give one way or the other just hopefull.

Future "Enjoy your ban" and "You should of known better" posts are going to get deleted. Knock it off, no one knows what weapons/vehicles are in DayZ except the DayZ Staff.

So, I tried to find some vehicles in debug forest and found an apache. Of cause I took it and then I got banned. I didn't create it or something like that. Can you unban me?

But why would they first come up empty except the medical tent, then all but the medical tent disappear, also I have bikes/atvs and cars so I doubt he would not take at least one vehicle, especially with the location of the camp. Along with that I had backpacks in the tents(not just one) and they were all gone. So your telling me one guy took more than one backpack and left vehicles or that a group came and took the backpacks but not the blood bags/vehicles.

1) Sorry dude, but if I have been traveling around the map for 5 hours and am way up north, I should not be respawned at the coast simply because my server is full. Once again, this is punishing a player because an unknown percentage of the population takes advantage of the system. 2) Of course these are exploits that an MMO does not have. We are not locked to one server and because of the fact that servers can only handle small numbers of players at a time, locking people to one server is a bad idea. 3) I play on a few servers as much as possible. If I had a vehicle and was unable to log onto my server, I don’t think I should also loose my position when picking a different place to play. Vehicles being able to move between servers would probably break the back end and create immense balance issues so I agree they should not transfer from server to server. As for tents, I believe they should follow you from server to server. 4) You don’t need to be a camper to shoot a guy with a Makarov as you are heading back north. You are simply putting players with good loot close to players that just spawned. That will not end well. Also, I would be furious if I was forced to spawn along the coast and was immediately killed because the server punishes me for logging onto a server when my preferred server is full. Wouldn’t this just make campers stay closer to the coast more often? Killing and looting well equipped players… If i understand correctly, current 'logging in' system prevents the item/zed spawn from appearing in the vicinity of your location. Meaning if you have logged out in a building with loot, when you spawn in, there will be no loot for that whole building. Lets take it appart piece by piece. I wouldn't view this as a punishment' date=' but as a safeguard. You take it with a grain of salt. If we were to draw a conclusion based on your logic of most are not server hoppers - then most of us would not be affected by this change, as we do not server hop for specific locations Of course they're not, but you are dealing with exploiting that regular MMO would not have, thus the comparison is invalid. You cannot change the servers on MMO's. And if you do 'transfer' the character, you have to transfer in the 'safe zone' anyways. With recent re-introduction of vehicles a lot of players have 'settled down'. Your tents and vehicles dont follow you across servers' date=' so most people already have that one server that is good ping for them, and seem to generally prefer to wait for their server. If anything, i believe OP's idea about the Cherno/Electro campers life being ruined before the 'freshly spawned players'. How comfortable is that camper going to be, if he will know there is a chance that his shot will be heard by the 'high level equipment' wearing people who are in vicinity? With suggestion from Rocket about possible 'spawn without a weapon' you wont be able to engage in PvP right off the bat anyways. As for immunity' date=' also not the best of the concept. If anything was to be done, i would like to see a solution in direction of - a player without a weapon has smaller hitbox. Making it harder to kill that player. Did you see the upcoming patch notes? Includes 5 second timer for logging out ;) Oh it's coming, hehe

Would love to know how many of the vehicles are still working and how many have been blown up on the servers.

I suggested similar idea before the forum wipe, i am totally in agreement. The one addendum i would have though, and this is what i had in my original suggestion - perhaps the 'coast relocation' would have different spawn points from regular spawns. This would lessen the chances of people 'teleporting' to the coast once they're loaded up and want to commit suicide by going to the "hot zone" Lets take it appart piece by piece. I wouldn't view this as a punishment' date=' but as a safeguard. You take it with a grain of salt.

Hacked There are no armed cars The only 2 armed vehicles are both versions of the Huey with either a gatling gun or a M240

Yeah, hopefully mine will get vehicles soon too :)

Look at the map and ask yourself: If I owned a vehicle, where would I hide it so others can't take it? Then go there. I found a stash of no less than 6 vehicles hidden in the forest this way :). Also boats are generally in the water.

Old info.. Yes. But then can we expect to get vehicles back?.. I just found out my server doesnt respawn blown up cars :/.. Really bad.

Ye I know... I was moving the vehicles and suddenly a guy yells FLY LIKE AN EAGLE and poof, I fall from 100 meters and lose my nvgs and gps's...

No... the map. Like' date=' in the game. And I provided a very strong hint for using that map to figure out where to go to look for vehicles. I have found 3 different vehicles in the span of about 1000m simply by looking at the map and saying "Oh, gee, that looks like an interesting little nook or cranny. Let me go investigate." I would not use out-of-game maps to look for vehicles. The most "comprehensive" one I found didn't have any of the 3-4 vehicles I know about, and I'm not about to go adding them for everyone to see. No troll. Yes, he's serious. With great effort comes great reward.
