Good post, thanks OP. In my opinion, what dayZ currently lacks, is some kind of "global quest". A quest where everybody can lend a helping hand, and a quest, that if completed, helps everyone survive longer. Currently you can repair helicopters, cars, boats etc. But for what reason? You're making a huge bandit magnet out of yourself and everyone you meet will shoot you, and you better shoot everyone you meet as well. The main problem with vehicles is that they are only for "egoistic" purposes (sure in the end everything is egoistic, but you know what I mean). There's no way you can help the people with vehicles. Once you got good enough weapons and vehicles, the game degenerates itself to: Shoot everybody on sight. I had an idea for a global quest that goes as follows: The power plant at elektro has severely been damaged due to no maintenance and bandits raiding the place, leaving all chernarus in the dark. It however can be repaired again. The items you need to repair it are scattered all across chernarus. Once half repaired, it will power the street lights of elektro, more advanced repairs will power cherno, then the surrounding villages until every village has electricity again. Electricity will drive zombies away from the city into the woods, making villages to safezones where people can meet and trade. Vehicles as helicopters would come in very handy as you could make stashes filled with repair and maintenance items throughout the land where the vehicles could pick them up and transport them to elektro. Bandits that live from the darkness, will try to prevent the whole process. They become organised bandits. The random shoot a guy on sight or steal that vehicle will occure less likely, as the guy in the vehicle might work for the greater good and in the end might help you. Why should you kill a guy that has a whole lof of repair items on him, they serve no purpose to you.

Was thinking, if we had some vehicles rolling (even trade with people to get them or donations etc it wouldn't be so hard to get people back). Also got me thinking, wouldn't a castle just be a good idea? It's heavily fortified, hard to almost impossible to assault, easy to lockdown. Biggest issue I see with this though is the coverage, lots of forests around 'em.

Tip: Play with other people via mumble/teamspeak. Raid tents/camps. Find and fix vehicles and then drive around causing mayhem. Roleplay, be a medic that runs around giving random people blood. (Very high death ratio but quite fun.) Not a personal recommendation but some find it entertaining: Kill survivors. I hope that some of my screenshots from the past week will urge you to play once again: http://imgur.com/a/aqWTB

Here's what I recommended IRT bear traps... "Bear traps (officially known as foothold traps) are metal devices that can be found around Deer Stands. They always spawn in a deployed position, meaning that they are ready to inflict damage upon anybody who steps into it. Bear traps deal damage equal to 30-50% of the player's current blood (simply getting caught in a bear trap should never kill the player, even if he is close to death - bleeding will kill the player just fine if the player is low on blood and/or passes out from blood loss). Players who step into a bear trap will always do the following: 1. Stand up with their leg clearly stuck in the trap. 2. Scream out in pain for about 3 seconds, and then begin to panic. (Shouting can attract nearby zombies) 3. Suffer from bleeding, broken bones, and intense pain requiring painkillers. 4. The player should automatically pull the trap apart and remove his leg from the trap, after which he will immediately lie down on the ground due to broken bones. A trap can be disabled by either throwing something into it (such as a tin can), shooting the pressure plate, or using a tool kit to silently disable it. The bottom line here is that if a tool kit is not used to disable the trap, the trap will make a signature SNAP sound that can alert the person who set it of nearby trespassers. Notes: 1. Zombies can get caught in bear traps as well. Zombies should remain stuck in the bear trap but not get killed by it. They should just stand there in an aggro stance, stuck in the trap, waiting for some player to come along and claim or reset the trap. 2. Sometimes, a bear trap will require scrap metal to repair it. In these cases, a tool kit is required to make repairs (just like repairing vehicles). 3. Bear traps take up just as much room in a backpack as scrap metal (3 slots). 4. Players who trap other players in bear traps will not get +1 to their Murders count from trap-related injuries. Their best bet is to watch the bear trap, listen for screaming, and move in to finish off the trapped player."

Agreed. The game was actually really good to begin with. Then all the carebears showed up and the forums were flooded with- Waaaahh wahhh! the night is too dark! Waaahhh wahhh! there are too many zombies!! Waaaahh wahhh! where are all the vehicles?!?! Now it's just all about PVP. The first weeks of the game were great, because surviving was actually a challenge. The night was actually something to be afraid of (flares had a purpose!). Now it's all just meh. Rocket, if you read this - f*ck the carebears. This is supposed to be the zombie apocalypse! BRING IT ON.

I was on the. Server also when they started spawning vehicles and messing with the time. It caused horrible lag and as soon as I complained in side channel about them screwing with the server I died instantly... I was in the middle of the woods. Server needs to be blacklisted. Yesterday they had a sub with a .50 Cal on it shooting everyone in Cherno...

Your stuff isn't lost. It's either a) at the last place it was saved, or b) it was eaten by the server. If your tents/vehicles were eaten by the server, they'll be back after a restart or two.

Looks like a bunch of butt hurt kids complaining about a server admin trying to get his server running properly. Admins can't spawn vehicles, and an admin wouldn't restart to help his group get loot, thats makes no sense.

And your welcome to go check out the bug report on the server where ALL vehicles were lost, as well as all tents, and everything. Here is your ten minute warning. 12:03:02 BattlEye Server: (Side) Eric@XtremeOwnage.Com: restarting soon 12:08:32 BattlEye Server: (Side) Eric@XtremeOwnage.Com: yea, def gonna restart in 5m. 12:12:25 BattlEye Server: (Side) Eric@XtremeOwnage.Com: ok, restarting now Have fun with your cheat report, and please keep your racism and horrible language off of my server. Besides, What am I farming for loot? We have been playing this a week straight. Im quite happy with my winchester.

Date/Time: 1:03 am central time What happened: ALL tents / vehicles / everything on server disappeared. Where you were: The entire server. What you were doing: Restarting the server due to weird lag issues which caused zombies to run in place from the viewpoints of 3 people. *Current installed version: 1.7 *Server(s) you were on: Tx11 *Your system specs: Good enough. *Timeline of events before/after error: Server lagged, restarted, stuff gone.

Me and a few buddies were playing on TX 11 hosted by Eric@Extremeownage.com and he would restart the server multiple times he said it was due to lag but failed to mention when he would be restarting server, after diconeccting everyone. My clan and I lost all our vehicles and gear when we questioned him about it HIS friends barraged us after we struck back at his friends he kicked us from the server.

Servers sometimes eat cars and vehicles when they crash/restart. Fortunately, they usually reappear after the next one or two restarts. Just save your tent every time you log and keep your fingers crossed. :P

Just got our server up, and its running great. Really appreciate the quick response and turn around. I've noticed there are no vehicles spawning though, we know where at least 4 confirmed vehicle spawns are on several servers and none of them had vehicles. Is there something I need to update or a server setting that needs to be modified? Thanks!

is a new adventure series I'm working on. The premise is simple, JasonGumbala and I have been on an incredibly lucky streak for the past few days and I've been lucky enough to have been frapsing throughout most of it. It started with myself stumbling upon a UAZ, and from there we have come across five camps, two ATVs, two hueys [fuel leaks :-/], five or six cars, and multiple high tier weapons. Sorry to the fellas who's camps we raided, but when you find one...you just can't even help it :angel:I will however edit out the exact locations of the camps because it's only fair we all come across these things on our own. We'll call it...gaming sportsmanship :P Enjoy! and feel free to ask questions or tell me I'm the worst player of all time...jokes on you though, I rule :P Episode I features initial finding of UAZ. The beginning of a great saga. Episode II features refueling and driving. Picking up my mate and some music I wrote :cool: Episode III features finding a Huey! Zed combat w/ fitting music, and finding a boat! Episode IV features the meaty part of the series where we start coming across multiple camps and vehicles. Even find another Huey. Episode V features some PvP action and a few more nice finds. Episode VI features the end of our lucky streak, a bicycle, and a tractor.Enjoy. Comments, critiques are welcome and encouraged. [EDIT: Will continually update as the series continues]

SLC1 is finally back up! Apologies to our server regulars, and donators for the wait. -Faster Than Ever! -Vehicles Enabled! -No Nameplates! -No Crosshair! -Map Markers Enabled! -3rd Person Enabled! -MORE GOATS See you there!

With the new update apparantly rolling out mass fortification and such, this seems more plausible actually, especially if you use Helo's to scout the area every so often, or don't announce your trading stations location and guide people in with vehicles.

Ok I know there has been a lot of thread already on spawn points for vehicles, but I can't seem to ever see one. For exemple, I went to the spot near the Hotel in Cherno on about 4 different servers and could never see any car or truck that I could enter. I did the same thing by going on the road to the west of Elektro (there is supposed to be 2 cars on the way between cherno and elektro) and went on 3 different server. Still nothing. Is there any trick to catch one or am I just extremely unlucky and each time someone already took it?

You actually can script vehicles to be un-enterable. In fact, many vanilla missions already do this. This could work I think.

Agreed with all points also I suggest: 1: Bikes with reduced noise (there was a topic about this but got erased) 2: vehicles and tents out of map auto destruct after a set amount of time (say 6-8 hours) as being out of map is retarded. 3: Uparmoring vehicles (mad max style) using scrap metal, with the extra weight taking up storage space and or increasing fuel consumption (not applicable on bikes, motercycles, helis and boats).

The NCR is currently a small group formed in response to the growing number of players running and gunning to take what they want, not what they need. They kill for sport, and that's to be ended. Like other groups, we're here to assist where assistance is needed, to purge the bandit scum from the coasts of Chernarus. As of late, there have been no save havens, no trading posts, and we seek to change that. From Steam group: The New Chernarus Republic follows one guideline: liberate the people from the opression of newly formed terrorist organizations. Said organizations have used the infection's outbreak and the despair of the people to rise to power, however, we will not stand for this. We accept all willing and able to fight for our cause. We will not bring harm to civilians, survivors, and we will offer aid to those who require it. Those who have displayed hostilities against the innocent will be met with harsh prosecution, and shall be treated with the same precaution as the infected. Completed Goals: ☑Establish home server. ☑Obtain vehicles for easier transportation. ☑Form base of operations. ☑Eliminate bandit groups on server. ☑Obtain arsenal. ☑Create recruitment camp.

This got deleted in the forum rollback today, but fortunately it was the last thing I had ctrl+c'ed. For starters, I'd like to give a big thank you to the dev team for finally implementing land vehicles on all the servers. The game is even more fun than it already was, and having a goal like vehicles has really helpedpeople form groups and to stop deathmatching quite so much (and it has worked much more so than any of the damn carebears' heretofore suggestions). Anyways, I have a lot of mostly related ideas regarding vehicle spawns, along with my rationale behind them: 1) Make vehicle spawn locations much more random. This would incentivize people to form groups to search diligently for the vehicles of their choice, rather that simply running to Rog castle/NWAF/wherever for a chopper the moment the server gets set up. It would also remove an unfair advantage that it seems (though I cannot personally confirm) many server admins and their buddies have been exploiting by getting the jump on these vehicle spawns. 2) On vehicle destruction, have vehicles respawn in a completely random place, as above. At least the way things seem now, vehicles go back to whatever location they were last saved at after destruction. 3) Have all vehicles despawn after X number of days without being used/actively saved. Note that I am not against the hoarding of vehicles by any means. The reason for this, rather, is for a situation such as where some random person/group goes on a server, finds a car, takes it out beyond the edge of the map after they've had their fun, and end up never coming back to that server again. This would essentially make the vehicle unavailable to anyone and everyone on the map, and that's just lame. Make it plenty long to not harm the hoarders (somewhere between 4 and 7 days seems long enough). 4) Remove the ability for helicopter radar to see vehicles that are broken, not running, or inside a building.It doesn't really make sense from a realism perspective, and I think it frankly gives people with helicopters too much power. They already have the best mobility, the best vision, etc., they don't need the added bonus of radar. 5) Fix the vehicle saving system so that it doesn't get eaten by server resets (not sure how much of this is hive side and how much is serverside). That is all.

I don't know, but since (during?) the supposed hack we had discovered like 3 working vehicles randomly parked in a city. A tractor, ATV and a bike... Before that, we have never ever seen a single one O_o

I have noticed odd behavior upon server restart than sometimes vehicles (and tents) do not immediately reappear or spawn. I would strongly suggest you return to the location of your vehicle and check again. I thought I had lost my off-road truck and two tents full of gear and I almost killed myself in the ensuing depression but instead decided to return to the site and check one last time. Lo-and-behold everything was there, intact and fully stocked. So, yeah. Double check before you make any rash decisions or judgements.

2 ideas in one for you today. Idea 1: A lot of people are suggesting that we restrict characters to 1 server and 1 server only, that way there will be no more server hopping to low population servers to grab loot many times over. But the problem is that if a server goes down, or updates the requirements before you do, your character temporarily or permanently gone. I'm suggesting that a player can select 3 servers for his character to be on. While they can technically server hop, they aren't able to do it to the same degree, or control what population of the server they want to join. Tents and vehicles that are owned by the player can be mousewheeled to be moved to another server, and will be automatically if a server is restarted. Idea 2: For the "wildies" among us. Aside from the occasional deer stand, which are usually nearby towns anyway, there is little to no incentive to explore the path less trodden as far as loot is concerned. I think randomly spawning, but very rare, "poacher camps" which spawn deep inside the trees would be a good idea. These camps would contain a campfire, a bicycle, and an old tent. The old tent would contain medium rarity weapons, mainly military grade but older guns that aren't in active service (M16/FAL/M14 EB1/AKM/CZ550/M24), as well as beans/water/ammuntion but mainly meat. There may be 6-10 on a server at a time, so the chances of finding one are highly unlikely, but much more likely then a helicopter crash site. Opinions and thoughts?

Yep. :) Make no mistake' date=' though, they're still quite rare. [/quote'] Im seeing vehicles EVERYWHERE.
