Don't forget animal hides, pots and pans, sheet metal from wrecked vehicles (jump up and down on the roof of a wrecked car a few times), old barrels, moss, empty sardine and bean cans, etc. I live in a rainy part of the world. The bigger problem here is how to get water to drain properly, not how to collect it.

So i spawn in on Norway 1 and i'm randomly spawned 5m in the air above some random location in a forest with this camp below me.. I fall and die, WTF. I lose all that hardwork. So incredibly buggy, it's like it's all put together with strings and deck cards. 1. Can't repair hull on huey... Needs hotfix asap. total bullshit we want to fly and have fun.. not leaking fuel at 100% health 2. Go prone next to a tree, break leg and die... bullshit. 3. Randomly spawned in places, not hacked. 4. Tents are not deleting when you pack them up... saving tents is unreliable with server restarts etc, so are vehicles. 5. You can't build long term camping solutions because all you have are tents when in fact we should have many other options of storing and hiding supplies. (alpha) 6. Hackers.

Both locked after 1.7.1.4 update with 40 players in it? Fast grab for vehicles?

We are one of the lucky ones on our server who have a chopper. I have unlimited fun flying around writing down coordinates of vehicles as I fly along using the radar. Then, I throw all my stuff in the chopper and get dropped off. Pick up all the vehicles in the area (with a buddy of mine) drive them to places like Electro etc and leave them with gear and gas. Cracks me up every time. This game has a really vicious learning curve, from the beginning of the game lifes hard. Then when you've got SD M4 and NVG's the game turns into a 'really fricken easy' festive zombie slaughter. So I guess the least we can do is make it fun for others. (btw all vehicles are thieved from hidden areas and tree lines, then filled with loot from the local tents that are near them before driven to electro / cherno and dumped for new players to pick up) I guess its just one of those fun things we can do when we're bored. A lot of the guys are actually taking up suicide just to chase down new players with an axe. HILARIOUS to watch 4-5 torches running past and some guy screaming with an axe running them down.

I think clans should be able to hid their stuff anywhere they want. Its not like you are unable to go to these places yourself you just cant find them. It takes a lot of time and group energy to find and repair vehicles so if when you do find one you make damn sure to hide it in a good spot or some lazy lone survivor will find it. Personally i would like to see a few more "fort" complexes or areas that can be improved and used as bases for clans.

There's already a considerable amount of vehicles in the game... A tank or a heli is not good enough for you?

I have found three vehicles total while playing so far. One was in a fairly obvious point parked under a car port next to a house. The other two where completely random out in the middle of the woods with no structures anywhere near them. Of the three I found, only one was in perfect condition and ready to drive the moment I found it. It was a little white pick up truck. For an added bonus, inside the gear for the truck, there was a Coyote pack. They are out there.

Fuck you all with your fucking vehicles I hope you all crash and burn.

Here you go :P http://dayzwiki.com/wiki/index.php?title=Vehicles I've owned multiple tractors, bycicles, UAZ's, buses... Just gotta know where to look

Best thing is go into the Arma editor or shooting-range and have some fun with the guns there. Bandages/Painkillers/Waterbottle ect: "G" opens up gear, right click on the item then left click to use. The mouse-wheel plays a big part with controls: from fixing Vehicles, opening doors, climbing ladders and changing weapons.. Look up "DayZ wiki loads of great guides & tutorials.. Best of luck

Any plans on restricting how far off map vehicles can go? I have heard a couple of clans boasting that they have 90% of a servers vehicles parked at a secret base 20+ km off map. I find bicycles but never cars on oceanic servers.

It applies to more than zombies. All animals and players and vehicles have little markers too, I logged in to one of those servers once. I thought it was a serious bug until I learned about the recruit difficulty haha.

Except vehicles aren't spawned on servers immediately and choppers only spawn on legacy servers.

anyone know the times it takes vehicles to respwan once there blown up ?

I don't think this has been suggested before, but it's really simple. I'dl like to see the server name i'm in on the debug monitor for a few reasons: - be able to tell people your server for them to join - remember the server you left vehicles or tents I once found myself trying to remember the server i was just in that crashed where i was driving a very rare vehicle. And i couldnt remember it.

Someone stole one of these out of our camp on NY14 yesterday (as well as a DMR)... I am still crying about it... oh well we got more vehicles on the way.

To the people who are losing vehicles remember to press save if you so much as touch the vehicle. and to Ander the genius who fixed vehicles keep up the good work im looking forward to those helicopters coming back.

+1 if this was the case i'd be able to butcher the vehicles i manage to procure and keep my precious Ural going that much longer. As for the safety thing all you would need to do is take off your wheels when your were ready to log out. 11

Myself and a group of fellow DayZ enthusiasts were thinking.... As fun as it is to camp loot spawns and scour the world for car parts, why not be able to strip parts off cars that are already repaired or partially repaired? While the toolbox may be gone and useless, my suggestion is to bring it back and using it for the sole purpose of reacquiring vehicle parts from vehicles who are already using the parts. Found a Bus that you don't feel like using that has some parts on it that your other favorite vehicle desperately needs? The toolbox/scavenging tool would be perfect for your situation! Might also be able to add a new utility loot item like a rubber hose for siphoning gas from a previously fueled vehicle when the usual tank full of fuel is just too far out of your way to fill up your empty jerry cans. Now with the addition of any tool or feature there would obviously have to be some sort of risk to counter the reward. I leave that for the community to decide because I honestly can't think of a plausible one.

You can gather tents and vehicles without duping or locking servers. Obviously. Some people use glitches and park stuff off map, others use hard work, and huge amounts of time and effort.

Dupers and people setting up their server and scouting with the first chopper they most likely repaired before the server was unlocked and moving out all the vehicles off grid are really a sign of dedication and how well people work together. Right.

So I was thinking about what this game really is. Theres basically 2 real threats in this game. There are zombies which are not too hard to deal with in all honesty but can fuck you up if you get careless. then theres other people, which we all know is the real threat. The biggest thrills i have had in this game have been pvp fights. Everytime my heart starts beating so hard, I get an adrenaline rush every time I go into combat or I am stalking a group waiting for my perfect moment to strike. However a lot of people feel this is just how the game is now, a glorified deathmatch with zombies scattered around. My suggestion would be to implement a new threat to players. NPC's which would provide a serious threat to survivors but offer great rewards. For Example, Military teams that drop into areas on the map as random events. These guys are haz mat teams trying to clear areas, exterminating zombies are survivors alike. They would have the very best equipment, great AI and teamwork and if they catch you alone you would have very little chance of surviving, let alone taking them out. When this happens people would be willing to make alliances in order to go after these teams, after all they would be carrying a lot of high tier weapons, gear and possible vehicles. This would bring players together and give them a challenge equal to or greater than pvp. Bro-ops will be made and permanent alliances formed. I am sure there will be people who will tag along with the group for the rewards, with the intention of killing the allies to horde the loot. And frankly I think thats great. It's what makes this game so amazing and real, you face threats constantly and trust is hard to earn. I posted this on 4chan and similar ideas were posted, such as air drops that survivors can fight over or Boss type zombies. Thanks for reading my post. I love this game and cant wait to see what the future holds.

Good idea to wipe all the Tentcitys :) Our Group also habe few tents but we think *shit happen* its an alpha and we searching again for the stuff we cannot save in vehicles or inventory. Ice

First of all' date=' I think you are exaggerating here.. I doubt it would be even possible for you to get back into the game just so you could see the server crash 30 times in 20 minutes. I was at work, talking on Steam chat with Penox when this thing happened. Penox was quite furious about the first crash while he was still chasing you. And even more furious when he actually got your ural and the server crashed again. Also, that weapon that you mentioned, was from your car. When I get home from work, I will be contacting SOPPA(Our service providor) and I will ask him to post log files as proof that the server crashes were not done by Penox. And some off-topic: We haven't lost any vehicles to players so far, so I doubt you found our "hideout". To be continued when I get home.

Yeah, I can see where you're coming from. But so far we've not had any of our vehicles move during the nights / days off . And back to the main subject, I've discussed the matter with the group of players I got the URAL from and it seems to be okay for now, I think...? I can see the problem in this scenario, I wouldn't want anyone to steal my ride if the servers were acting up for some reason either.
