Remember it's still just the first iteration. I haven't even tried looking for a V3S since experimental since they're not tied to persistence anyway so chances are I'd loose it soon after finding one. I hope someday, once vehicles are repairable, that there will be more vehicles per server in various conditions that players are competing to fix up and take for themselves. Edit: Also, don't expect vehicles to ever "end the running simulator". They're not intended to and anyone with a valuable opinion likely wouldn't say so. Think of them more as an added element to the game that are not without their own drawbacks. Between finding vehicles, finding their parts, repairing them, finding fuel, and avoiding detection, they'll never be easy to attain or keep a hold of - and that's really where the fun lies.

Some players said that. The devs never gave a reason to raise the expectations as high as saying vehicles would end all the running once and for all.

I think what annoys me most is that people said that 'vehicles would change the game and end the running simulator' and then they add 3 per server!

In my book,best endgame for DayZ rather than vehicles and base building,would be electricity. If it was up to me,i would make it so that access to advanced actions,crafting and maintenance,are only achieved by the help of a generator. So in return the valuable fuel resources to keep them running would become a mean of currency among survivors. Be it to run your electric fence,your installed cctv circuit,your kitchen,fridge,your welding gear to fully repair and upgrade your vehicle,or to make advanced building a generator should be essential and your ticket to "luxury".

Don't hop for a truck at each town....that's decreacing your odds me thinks. If you check a site on one servr and its empty the chance at the next site will go up a bit as theres less left to check total. If you check 1 site per server chances are always gonna be the same because you haven't actually cleared the other sites in that server....example you check town A swap server and check town B swap and check C....you never checked A in the server your now in and the truck could have spawned there, basically when you swap you reset your chances because the sites behind you haven't been cleared so become poss spawns again :) Maybe try different goals like lets try and get to X location and see whats there, then just take whatever gear you find along the way. A goal like getting somewhere rather than trying for one of best items ingame is much more achievable so you wont get frustrated and feel like your failing. But disappointment and dayz go together , wait till vehicles persist and every span is empty because they are all hidden by players....maybe keeping the numbers low is preparing us for that :)

I'll admit Dayz can be frustrating especially when you're trying to find a few specific items. Most of the fun I've had in Dayz comes from the journey and the people I encounter, good or bad. Finding guns in Dayz is easy at the moment but if you're looking for an m4, any AK variant you may need to check several military barracks or if you're lucky enough to find chopper crashes. You may need to check different servers as well, I tend to find more on servers with persistence off but persistence on servers have good loot, you just have to search a bit harder. Yes, trekking across the map on foot can be boring but when vehicles get moved to stable build things will get easier. Keep at it, the videos you're watching can be helpful to nail down where things spawn but don't expect these things to be there waiting for you. Server hoppers and other players may have beat you to the things you're looking for and by all means pick up that useless gun because once you pass it up, you'll find a magazine or ammo for said gun and then you'll have to backtrack and waste time.....or at least that's my experience

Machetes do the job of hunting knives, and are common as dog muck. Finding parts for a fishing rod is not that difficult, either. Hooks are slightly rarer, but I've never had much trouble finding them, even when sticking to smaller towns - try looting every last house, outbuilding and shed systematically. Likewise, the materials for crafting bows and arrows are pretty easy to come by. Pistol magazines, I agree, are absurdly rare. You have to spend more time in police stations and military areas to get these, which carries more risk. In general, I think the spawn chances should be altered so that anything can, in theory, spawn anywhere (except for loot reserved for dynamic vehicles spawns). There should be a higher % chance of military kit spawning at military locations and civilian kit spawning in houses, etc, but should always be a very slight possibility that any spawn point will generate any item. That way, you wouldn't be able to get used to which buildings definitely will and definitely won't spawn certain items, thereby making the game more dynamic and interesting.

Bump. This server is very hardcore :D Some features maybe not mentioned are: No traders or safe zones: All that cinder and other things you buy can only be lootedRare loot: This server is known for only having toilet paper, empty tin cans, and razors :DCustom crafting system: No other server has this, specific to this server only. The aforementioned loot is used to craft many things, including your first set of bandages!Hardcore AI missions: These missions give very good loot, but can be very difficult to completeLimited Vehicles: No traders means less cars around the map. Be sure to keep them safe :DBlowouts: Rare events that last for 5 minutes, similar to a stormBase breaking: Dayz isn't meant to be completely safe from everything. Base Breaking is hard but possible to do with materials and time, nothing is completely safe in this serverSkalisty Island: This place is a nightmare. Completing it is a bandits paradise, as it gives you so many guns that are specific to only the island. Be warned: there are 50+ AI on that island, and getting to the loot crate isn't easyASC Weapon Mod: Some rare guns can be found at crashsites, but most "amazing" guns you will loot and craft yourself! Uses weapon mod system, allowing you to add a silencer to your DMR, an ACOG to your M249 SAW, or a MOD1 kit to your M4 :DOre Veins: Used in the server-specific crafting menuI am not an admin for the server. I play daily here and let me tell ya, i haven't found everything here yet. If you have any quick questions, come to the TS3 at 188.40.87.134 and look for Torky :D If i'm not playing, i'm sure 1-2 of the admins will be online playing. Give this server a try at least, the reason for the addon download is so you can use the weapon mod system to its full extent :D

In your opinion. Thankfully everything seems to suggest this along with some of the other unrealistic aspects in the game are merely there due to place holders or lack of assets atm. You telling me in a game where Stamina is already planned, where manual shifting of gears while driving vehicles is going to implemented and where blood types are modeled having your character have full access to his inventory while sprinting at 30 km/h is intentional. No of course not. Hopefully it just means it lacks an animation and one will be added later. Accessing your inventory is a risk and reward type deal, if you need to get into your gear then you should be vulnerable for a short amount of time while you sort through it. As for your animation comments yes more animations for everything including the most pointless of things would be an improvement over no animation.

.45 ACP > .32 ACP. Simply because practically every .32 ACP gun can be done in .380 and 9x18/.32 are too similar. (Though it doesn't really matter as I can't see them removing .45 ACP for any other calibers even if they did decide to add more.) Best bet would probably be to just add 7.62x25 and a civilian hunting round (most likely .30-06, though 7mm and 9.3x54 also work) as new calibers, and split .308 and 7.62x54R into two separate calibers. And 40mm high explosive rounds for the M203/GP-25 as well as any other grenade launchers (these are already in the game files so I can assume it'll happen at some point.) These I wouldn't mind if they just had a general "40mm HE" round rather than making them grenade-launcher explosive, simply because they're so similar that it wouldn't be worthwhile to split em up. I'd also like to see .410 Gauge because it's pretty unique and has an interesting variety of weapons that work with it (Saigas, Mossbergs, M6 Survival Rifles, MTs-255s, and Taurus revolvers.) Helicopters and planes... also anything with a modest amount of improvised armor will probably be able to stop even a few 7.62x54R rounds. Granted the PTRS-41 and PTRD were never built to shoot down aircraft and 12.7mm weapons are also pretty poor at it (yeah, the M55 Quadmount is a thing, but 12.7mm HMGs are just okay at it.) Rounds like 7.62x54R, .30-06, and .308 still leave many GPMGs open; PKMs, M1919s, M60s, M240s would all be fine at taking out even low-armor vehicles and aircraft, and there will still be a good amount grenades, traps/mines, and directed explosives (launchers) that can be used against heavier targets.

If anything, the food we eat should have an effect on both our energy levels and on our immune system. A steady diet of canned beans, fruit, and sodas will not be as good for you as a diet of fresh produce, greens, and lean meats. We should be slowed down (slower speeds), with lower energy and depressed immune systems if we don't eat a varied diet. Also: scurvy. Vitamin C can be found in plants other than citrus (many lawn weeds have high vitamin C content, as well as being delicious. Also pine needles, liver, etc), but it might not be known about by the average survivor. Alcohol has been with humanity for as long as we have had communities (Pots were found in the ruins of neolithic farms that had the residues of deliberately fermented grain.), and has been a commodity of trade for also that long. I also want alcohol to be eventually included, both as a trade good (most disaster-preparedness agencies believe that hard alcohols, especially moonshine, would become de facto currency after the SHTF) and as a source of storing calories. Seriously, hard alcohol can be used a medicinal disinfectant, fuel source (for vehicles, stoves, generators,lanterns, etc), industrial solvent, well....beverage, etc etc etc. The quality can be controlled by limiting the production of it to certain companies/groups, and different proofs can be valued differently. Of course, you could always distill your own, and attempt to crash the post-apocalyptic market, but you probably wouldn't be able to make the same quantity or quality, and I would expect the post-TSC BAFTE-goons to be even worse than the current : P Now, I am not going to tell you how to break the law, but the actual process and physical setup for an alcohol still can be found online. It is actually legal to brew your own alcohol in the US, so long as you don't sell it. If there is any form of alcohol I would like to see, it is hard cider. Unpasteurized apple cider has certain yeast strains in it, and apple cider is relatively easy to make. Take apples, quarter them, then put them into a pot and mash them up. Strain out the juices (by putting them in a permeable sack and squeezing, for example), transfer the juices to a clean glass or plastic bottle, cap with a balloon (poke a hole with a needle first) or a piece of cloth, and leave in a cool, dry place for a couple of weeks. Once the foam stops forming, the fermentation has stopped, and you can then drink it, or bottle it and let it age. Boom, alcoholic cider that has a decent number of calories and carbohydrates, Vitamin C, and tastes good to boot! Great way to store a GREAT food group (apples) for a long time, over winter perhaps? http://www.gameofbrews.com/wildling-cider/ As you can tell, I am a cider fan. Why so simple? I am not asking for 5-Star meals, but I've cooked some pretty complex, multi-course multi-item meals while camping with little more than a Dutch Oven, a metal grate, and a nice, flat rock.

I am even thinking about the possibility of using metal detectors to find these land mines to diffuse or repurposing it as your own camp defense but these passive weapons might be overpowered so perhaps diffusing it is much reasonable. Then the metal detector should have other uses like finding scrap metal from a junkyard to fix vehicles or to find buried weapons.

Probably because they arent needed. I highly doubt any vehicles will be added that couldn't be defeated with regular rifle rounds. Heck regular civilian cars can be defeated with a single .357 magnum to the engine block.

I used to have a .410. Wasn't much useful for anything. A novelty piece. I'd rather the .30-06 in place of the 7mm magnum. More guns guns that use it. Why no .50 BMG or 14.5? We need anti-material rifles for vehicles.

Crafted flamethrower/defoliant projector, either carried in place of backpack or mounted on vehicles. Possibly made using kerosene?

Make sure you read the info for connecting with DayZ Commander at the bottom, if you don't, you will most likely get kicked as soon as you connect to the server if you do not have it setup properly. I recommend using DayZ Launcher, at least until Commander gets updated to work properly with the steam version. New groups of 3 or more get a small starter kit with a vehicle and wood building supplies. New single players get a free ATV that is lockable. Server Features: Custom Kill messages in top left corner Extended clothing/skin system by zupa (wear all arma/overwatch skins. FYI, certain skins cause battleye filter kicks, if you get kicked, make sure you let me know so I can whitelist the skin so it doesn't kick for it anymore.) Vehicle pointer (right click a key to find the vehicle it belongs to) Wicked AI mission system Change view distance with binoculars or rangefinders. Crash loot (get some of your stuff back if your vehicle explodes) Single Currency with banks Server Menu in scroll wheel menu (List of tips and server rules) Group Management Lift/Tow Vehicles (Still tweaking, if you find a vehicle that cannot be towed/lifted, but similar ones can be, let an admin know) Walking Zombies JAEM (Evac Chopper) Fmission Epoch Events (In progress, working on getting errors fixed) Right click Binoculars/Rangefinders to change view distance (You spawn with binoculars) Indestructible Cinder, Metal, and some wood items like stairs and ladders Safezone Godmode, including vehicles as long as the owner is in the safezone. Combo key changer (Safes, doors, etc...) Vehicle Deployment (Bike, motorcycle, mozzie with realistic requirements) Snap Building Pro with Vectors IED Crafting (Right click menu for american hand grenade/M67) Right click self bloodbag No plot required to build Caves on map (Great for clan/group bases) Military outpost at NWAF Military outpost at Balota Airfield Custom trader cities thanks to Ghost of Chernarus map pack Custom Trader city for special vehicles and Overwatch items. (Working on more special traders to be placed there) Go here for more up-to-date info: http://steamcommunity.com/groups/TOOLSgaming/discussions/1/624075566977385595/ More features are in the works as well as alot more custom buildings. Also working on getting a headless client setup and working and then creating AI cities with high loot as well as random AI patrols. Check out JSRS here if you don't know what it is. JSRS on Armaholic.com http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=11549 JSRS is optional, but if you want to use it, make sure your computer can handle the extra load from the new higher quality sounds. Go here for an install guide. http://steamcommunity.com/groups/TOOLSgaming/discussions/1/624075566977361167/ Come check it out 64.94.238.117:2301 If you use DayZ commander YOU MUST set it up properly or you will get instantly kicked as soon as you join, make sure you add these launch parameters to DayZ Commander or whatever launcher you use. " -mod=@DayzOverwatch;@DayZEpoch;" Copy everything inside the quotes, make sure you get the space in front of the "-mod" DayZ Launcher works fine though, so if you have it setup for overpoch, you should be able to get right in. If for some reason you are using DayZ Commander and our server shows 10000 ping after you have played on it, most likely it is the bug with Commander and the new steam ports, you can still join by double clicking the server, or by searching for "order" in commander, it should find our server twice and one should show ping. I would however recommend that you use DayZ Launcher, or Play With Six. We are still tweaking our battleye filters, so if you have any issues, send an email to [email protected] or join our TS3 server at 64.94.238.117 or use the URL orderofmastertools.com We can't fix it if you don't let us know that it is a problem. I have been seeing alot of people connect and disconnect nearly instantly, make sure you double check you launch parameters to make sure they are correct. If they are not right, the server will kick you as soon as you join. We also have a TS3 server at 64.94.238.117:9987 or you can use the URL orderofmastertools.com. Public channels available already, and we can create a private channel for your group if you request one, contact me or one of my admins if you have a group of 3 or more and we will happily create a private channel for you. Hope to see you there.

I'm a broken record here. I've been saying for months we need 7.62x25 tokarev. People give me crap saying only a few guns will chamber it, but as of now, you only have 1-3, the mean and mode being 2, guns that use the given bullets anyway! I think the PPSH, the TT33, and the PPS-43 would make fine additions to this game. Also the Mauser C96. That's 4 guns that use one ammo, which is more than is already in game! Why? Unique properties relating to penetrating, especially involving vests, cover, and vehicles. The FBI in the 1980s conducted a study to examine the lethality of handgun rounds. The major factor was not enough penetration. The 7.62x25 tokarev has adequate penetration.

I've used the search tool but I didn't see any similar post. But If there is already one, please tell me where. And where is the official list of vehicles ? EDIT : Ok i've found your list, but I didn't see the camper ?

Have you always wanted to play Overpoch origins but couldn't find a server with slow zombies? Well now you have! Server can be found at 192.99.35.113:2382(2381 with dayz commander) use -mod=@DayzOrigins;@DayzOverwatch;@dayz_epoch in launch parameters to connect. We currently have the following mods: One step building. Full moon nights. Indestructible bases. No overburden. Radio communication. Safe zone traders. Self blood bag. Service point. Tow/Lift. WPD'S action menu. Single coin currency. Wicked AI. DZMS All DZ vehicles for traders at hero and bandit. and slow zed's! We hope to see you soon! All new players who continue to play on server will receive a welcome package.

I think that was the ACOG I traded with you, wasn't it? Ignore the usual crowd, they're just jealous.... And yes, I feel your pain. This is why I've not been that highly motivated to go and investigate vehicles until they're a bit more...stable. If I did, I'd definitely do what jukaga suggests and stash high value kit somewhere. PM me if you need some help sorting out new gear.

I'm blown away that we are entering 2015 and we still have people on here claiming everything is hunky dory with standalone. I have a feeling most of the people white knighting Standalone are kids that didn't actually have to earn the money for the game. I'm not saying 30-40$ is a lot of money, but what's disappointing is that when someone says "I play DayZ It's awesome" 99% of the time what you are seeing and hearing about is Mod content... But the way steam and the community is in general, you see "DayZ 30$" and you buy it not knowing the huge differences between SA and the mods... Basically what I want to say is that if you haven't seen Arma 3 DayZ mod gameplay, you should check it out. My biggest gripe is that I spent 30$ on a game that will never leave Alpha, when a already more complete and better supported game exists in the form of Arma 3 Mods and the Dayz mod in general. It should really make a lot of people who blindly support SA, upset when they see coders building a game faster (and for free) than Rocket and BI can with 80 million dollars.... Maybe he should hire the coders who not just ported but greatly improved the original DayZ mod to Arma 3, and they can actually meet at least one of their deadlines. Q4 2015???!!? The fact that you are happy with a Q4 2015 deadline for Beta shows that you have already committed to going down with this ever fast sinking ship. And the fact that you think they would even pull off a Q4 2015 deadline being this far behind is also a big sign of just how delusional some of you are. We have seen games get completely made, go through alpha, beta and are now not popular anymore in the time it has taken Rocket to put Buggy vehicles ported from the mod into SA.. I guess I did come to SA fanboy central, so these comments are pretty much on par. I love Dayz, the concept is great. I just want people to know that there are better games out there in the form of the arma 2/3 mods... And especially the Arma 3 Dayz mod which surpasses standalone being the most similar... I want people to take that 30$ they would spend on SA and buy Arma instead... Mostly just research any YouTuber, gamer that has extensive experience with arma/dayz etc... Let's just say they are not playing SA...

Today I died 6 times. I'll play again tomorrow. For someone who is used to playing vanilla veteran DayZ servers, this place is fantastic. The zeds are slow, but powerful. Anything less than a headshot is not enough, and since ammo is so difficult to come by often you'll find yourself not bothering. Gone are the days of taking a hatchet to hordes of zombies - hand to hand combat is not an option. One hit can be enough to send you to your next life, and though it may seem a little excessive at first you'll soon find yourself enjoying the challenge of avoiding zeds! Loot is difficult to find, and most things that you do find are seemingly garbage. All of the food that can be 'found' will infect you. All of the water sources are infected. You spawn with an empty water bottle, an M1911 with one mag, and an empty water bottle. Add to this one of the best crafting systems that I've ever seen and you'll soon be kitted out enough to survive. Need a knife? Need a fishing pole? Need warm clothes? A tent? A backpack? You can craft all of these items easily, often within the first hour of gameplay. The trick here is to find out what you need! Right clicking items to look for options is KEY. Industrial loot is your friend here. That and a friendly player base always willing to help out :) Once you get yourself established you can use the Epoch modular building system to make yourself a home. There are no NPC traders, or formal economy. No 1000000+ vehicles. Vehicles are rare, and should be protected. Trade between players is encouraged, with one player even going so far as to build his own trading post. Helicopters are very rare. I've played here for about a week and have only seen 2. I have heard that they are in the southern section of the map which is covered in bandit AI players. Because of that I've been exploring the north and have only encountered the bandit AI on a handful of occasions. Oh yeah, that reminds me. There are bandit AI players. They patrol the map in vehicles, or in small groups, or in helis. They are hostile and well equipped, definitely worth hunting once you get some gear. They have ghillies (warm clothes), sometimes blood bags, good backpacks, sometimes meds, sometimes loot. Overall, they have useful things. But the best part of this server, I think, is that when things get this hard people have a tendency to work together. Players can kill each other if they wish, but on a server like this having a few friends is never a bad thing. Hope to see you there. Bring your A game. CF

Wow what a harsh crowd. Most wont give you the slightest bit of sympathy around these parts man. lol. It's dog eat dog. I've been lucky with vehicles thus far. And I've been unlucky when it comes to keeping a character longer than a couple of weeks. I can't stay in the hills.I need action and that brings me undone. :) Bad luck.
