Bugs: 1. Z glitching. 2. Doorways. 3. Vehicle collision or whatever it is that makes them explode without warning. Features: 1. Random encounters: mutant Z's, military patrols, radio chatter in random locations, etc. 2. Random loot locations: rare items could spawn anywhere. Not just in certain areas (airfields, deer stands, etc). Also, loot under bridges, by dams, wrecked vehicles or out in the woods in the middle of nowhere. 3. Random events: relief drops (crate strapped to a parachute with a flare dropped by a cargo plane), bombings (if more Z's are added and certain areas become overwhelmed with Z's), fires, jet flybys, etc.

Fix : 1) Item duping/loss (2 I know) 2) logging to prevent dying 3) Tent placement things I want : 1) An in game item to allow comms across the server. it could be a radio, or w/e. Removal of side chat (maybe beta only) REALLY sucks. blah blah blah immersion, blah blah blah realism. I dont care. I hate not being able to talk/chatter to the server while I am playing. Not all servers host Comms, and the ones that do, not alot of ppl use them. 2) I would love to see a system for bases, or fortifications.. but I dont see it as being feasible. Once they are located, they are going to be looted and destroyed... making it a waste of time. Cant man the walls 24/7. 3) I would like to see a more randomized vehicle generation system. Once they are destroyed, they should pop somewhere randomly back on the map. Vehicles change the scale of the game 100%, and the way you play it. I dont want to see hundreds of them, but I feel like they should be a wee bit more accessible.

zombies hit through walls zombies run faster than cheetahs zombies walking in buildings(should walk on stairs only) more vehicles customize weapons (take out the need for SD and add a silencer for 3 different types of weapon, pistol, rifle and sniper) make servers have to use most recent save.

Just wanted to update. Got the ticket responded too (fast as always). We'll definitely spend more time looking for the vehicles, we had a clean server and searched for a few hours in spots we always encounter them on other server. I'm guessing there must just be a few different vehicle location profiles of sorts. Besides that, our server appears to be down at the moment - cant access it from the control panel. Not sure if this is related at all. I have a ticket in. But I do want to say, overall you guys are great and definitely deserve more business! EDIT: And just like that it is back up. Thanks!

Three Bugs: 1) Hacking/Duping exploits 2) Camo swapping sending you to ocean 3) Vehicles being so temperamental (toughen em up) Three Features: 1) Player customization or unique models (not PMC skins) 2) Booby traps (flare tripwires, placing a live grenade in loot...) 3) Tent/Cache variety: There are a few different tents already in the engine from stock ARMA2. I think those being an option instead of only the old camping tent would be nice.

Hitting / clipping items in vehicles at speed = explosion with this engine. Going around the town in said vehicle in field is wiser choice to many barricades to contend with. Game loves the Hollywood explosions vs realism I guess.

Anti tank RPG is actually in game absurdly rare barracks spawn, sadly it's only effective vs vehicles, focused charge won't blow up cluster of zed or players.

I am not an admin on the server but 1-2 days ago the server files were completely deleted by the hosting company so everyone lost their vehicles and tents. As for the ban, Fallout is a friend of the admin (so am I), it was an inside "joke" and a temporary ban, I was on the server when this happened and the admin even announced it over admin chat which you so conveniently did not decide to take a screenshot of. Also this ban happened at the beginning of this week, odd how you decided to post it after the server files were deleted by the hosting company and you lost all your shit instead of posting it right away. As for the locking of the server, the admin only does that if he needs to check if the server is running properly (it seems to have issues sometimes) at which point he will be the only player on the server or if you would have paid attention, isn't even running the dayz mod (but vanilla Arma2 maps like CTI) when locked with other ppl inside at which point dayz server rules do not apply. I see you are butthurt over loosing all your shit and you thought the admin did it, so you came here with a wall of text with half assed accusations, but everyone lost their shit on the server and it had nothing to do with the admin. Get over it.

Fallout is in his group snowflake ... Server resets were addressed already. Server running like shit isn't the "admin's" problem, it's the hosting and the massive amount of attention this game has gained Arma... You are showing no concrete proof of anything else you have "heard or seen personally". The server was locked a few times with just him in it to force it past briefing because everytime he had to restart players would just cockslam the server again trying to get back in. The server was also locked and set to the ARMORY in which he asked about 7 people to join it and blow the shit out of cherno to see if it was the server running like crap or dayz running like crap. Low and behold, there is nothing wrong with Arma. It's the massive amount of dudes that can't read the forums and connection spam / do shit that further harms the gameplay for the players and the server. IE singing/playing music in fucking global channel. I appreciate your massive amount of research and attention to detail before you decided to post this garbage on the forums. Here are some things to try in the future ... When seeing the locked server ... actually fucking check to see if it's running dayz mod or even states it in the freaking title. Also, when making pretty big claims of abuse ... please post more evidence to back it up besides a screen shot of him banning a dude who just launched an m136 over his groups head and knocking them all out in a clearing... /endwhiteknight No seriously ... admins pay money so they can support a game that you play for free. The game is in alpha, you are entitled to nothing. Stop being a special little snowflake and go find another server to smear. Please see that all your loot and vehicles find their way to my camp at your earliest convenience.

Yeah, it aint that rare and repairing vehicles needs to be hard to do.

Scrap metal is pretty rare in my opinion and there are many tin cans lying around so it would be nice if you could collect tin cans and craft scrap metal from them which you can use to repair vehicles.

Sync vehicle spawns? I think there IS a way. Or just like teleport the vehicles of a player to the server where he is...

Vehicles (and tents and other stuff) have to stay local to the server. Imagine 100's of vehicles on 1 server? You'd be more at risk from getting run over than you would from zeds / bandits lol.

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.

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.

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.

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

In the book how to survive a zombie apocalypse the author suggests to the reader that they should read read read. Gain as much knowledge about everything that you can. Navigation, mechanics, first aid, water purification, distilling alcohols. You will need to be a jack of all trades to survive. Not every person who spawns should know how to apply bloodpacks efficiently, or repair a helicopter, or even fly one. A class system is too consoley and easy. But what if you add the power of knoledge to your character that you have created. Now not only have you strove to make your character as geared up and prepared as possible but also educated by searching for and reading books. The books would not be full fledged prints but rather collectable items that take a few second animation to read and than you now have the ability to use and perform certain actions. Drop and leave the book or keep it. Hide it so you are now valuable. Whatever. Its up to you. The books subjects would be MANY. But only a set amouint of each on each server. They would allow you to do CPR. Use bloodpacks more effeciently, Repair a vehicle. Fly a helicopter. Drive a tank. The list goes on and on. This system could be easily implemented the same way many ranks could not fly airplanes or use vehicles in game modes like warfare and domination. Make the books extreamly rare, in fact, only have 2 of each book somwhere in the server at one time. That way there are only 2 mechanics on the server, or 2 pilots. People will than become more valuable to other players. Sure youve collected all the stuff you need to repair a helicopter but you dont have a mechanic who read the helicopter repair book. Than once its repaired now you need someone skilled in piloting said helicopter. More fun things to search for, adds more value to your character and adds more value to your character to other players. Edit- I will add ideas for books and skills as I come up with them or are offered ideas to help rocket out in thinking of books if he so decides to implement this system. Only 2 of each spawn on any one server. -UH 60 Repair Manual -UH 60 Piloting Manual -UH 60 Gunner Manual -BloodPack and IVs Pamplet (More effective blood regen) -CPR Pamplet - Land Nav Manual (Perhaps gives some advantage to that players navigation) - Phychology Textbook - Regen others humanity/morality whatever system is implemented - Diesal Generator Manual - Electrician Textbook (Repair powerplant system)
