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 If I'm gonna get banned for something I better be doing it, this is shoddy work done by an outdated company that needs to get burned to the ground and pissed on.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.

The admins on Dallas 41 decided that because my clan was capable of raiding his location (full of the top guns, like STACKS of them along with 40+ mags for each one in the ural and spread around) that he could turn off his server, restart and lock it. The events began when our member found their base, we came in and provided help and prevented them from returning for 2 hours. After the area was cleared (10 kills for me, and like 12 spread around for clanmates) we headed to the location in which their convoy headed. To our surprise the dumbasses move their stuff roughly 2000KM in A LINE North, haha. We then decided to go down and clear it out, with the same 3 man party that cleared out their 12+ convoy. There was Astral the server host, I hit him once with a FAL looted off him only to find him be an abort warrior (scrub). 10-15 seconds later as we began moving their vehicles again the server was restarted twice, and then locked so they can regain their stuff back.

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.

Well basically considering the games heavy amount of scavenging and the upcoming push on team work and player interaction i thought this might be a step in the right direction. You have to scavenge for parts to make vehicles so why not a fort or base for people to go. Implementing this type of feature would make team work a good option to take and would also make the game a lot more compelling as you would have bases full of bandit players who look to horde their gear and other bases looking to get as much as they can from collecting. You could also implement different systems within the base/fort Such as: Group storage Map Room - To plan things as a group - raids etc Vehicle Bay - To store your constructed vehicle or to build one from scratch Helicopter Spot- If the helicopters are implemented later on Gun Posts - Would have to be constructed as well as everything else in the base to add that sense of survival. Any other implementations which are plausible i will add later maybe if people think this is a good idea. The best thing about this fort/base is the fact that it all has to be built and constructed by the player and each room or section will need a certain amount of each material to even start to build.This means that the players will have to have a pretty well adapted start to even start constructing a base. You could also set this so that you can only build bases further out or within certain sections within the map. This would help with new players etc. You could always say you can build any were which would mean the players would have to watch out for these people like you see in films. Good example would be like the film "The Road" Alternative implementation idea:: (Arma2 already has a commander base construction system within it already. So you could even have it as the commander builds a construction booth and from the menu you build the expansions on the base/fort but you need the right amount of materials which you place within the command booth box.) ---------------------------------------------------------- If you like this idea let me know as i really think it could add a whole new element and playing style to the game which could really work. Thankyou all...and....Good day.

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.

Okay so vehicles are obviously one of the biggest "do-wants" in all of DayZ, and have driven most if not all cars in DayZ, even the huey I have to say that Vehicles have to be fixed, fast. Vehicles are so useful in DayZ, but this is negated due to the fact that they're more fragile than your limbs which seem to be held in place by nutella. Take the V3S Truck for example, if you hit a small fence/roadblock at around 5km/h and if the wheels are damaged - it will explode. Get stuck on a fucking aluminium can? It will explode. This happens to pretty much every vehicle, only the Military Offroad seems to be working properly. So what has to be fixed: • Vehicles take WAY too much damage from hitting objects. • Can survive tons of bullets, a tin can? Fuck no. You die. • Vehicles get stuck on objects too easily and usually results in the vehicle exploding. • Inventory "Calculator" - Showing how much room is used and how much it has, very much like the backpacks. • ATVs flip from nothing, ATVs are meant to be offroad but as soon as they go offroad - they will flip eventually. Seems to be highly reproducible going uphill. • ATVs needs to either be fixed or given the option to flip it back. • Cars are too slow off-road. • More? That's pretty much all I can come up with right now, if anyone else have some ideas/suggestions feel free to post them and I'll add them to the list!

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?

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. :(

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.

So....had 7 vehicles all together parked. Had loot, a lot of loot, in every single one. Vehicles are magically missing. Loot all on the ground where each vehicle was parked. Bug? Or did someone troll the hell out of us? If so.....awesome job on the trolling....had to have taken hours to unloot all that crap lol.

Its not "anyone" who is finding tents, its a not impossible to find tents or vehicles in the game. In fact, for weeks we figured it was people using legit game mechanics... up until the admins started seeing unusual scripts that we found out were vehicle and tent location scripts.... Now we are tracking the ones we know of, so hopefully it will severely diminish such script usage. Feel free to try out Dallas 22.... There is a reason its one of the more populated ones out there and that is because its well run and constantly admin'd.
