I think there is a way to make everyone happy. many people want heli's while just as many don't want them. If the devs chose to go one way or another, someone loses out, so later on down the line, why can't it be down to server administrators to decide? servers with no vehicles servers with land and air vehicles servers with just land vehicles servers with just air vehicles so if you dont like helis/planes in this game, then dont join a server where they are active.

'Meh.' My initially response to flying vehicles in DayZ. Honestly, I think there is minimal point in having them in, the V3S (and other land vehicles) have already made moving around the map an easy task (providing they don't bug out on simple terrain). I think the addition of fliers may unbalance things too much, especially as I hope there will not be extremely powerful weapons in the game and therefore it will be harder to damage then with conventional rifles. I also dislike the idea of every survivor suddenly becoming an expert pilot, I realize they may have all watched Airwolf, Top Gun and the A-Team but that shouldn't mean they can fly with the same ability as an action hero. Also there is the fuel issue, diesel from the pumps should not be used as the aviation fuel. Kerosene should be in extremely short supply and only found in the air fields, you should also not be able to fill up from within the vehicle. In short, leave it to cars and boats that almost everybody can work out how to use with minimal fuss and don't add in things that 99% of people could not repair, maintain or pilot.

I personally have very very mixed feelings about this. I think the correct implementation and balancing could one point to make or break the game. I would hate to see vehicles like this becoming hovering fortress of destruction, But being able to zip into secluded areas, scout a town for the rest of your group! you bet i would love to be able to do these things. But I also feel that the map size also does not really justify it.

Id like to see Russian helicopters like Mil or Kamov. They shouldnt be armed but we should be able to shoot from them (as from all vehicles). Also there should be posibility to fall out from heli in case of shapr turns :) Also Id like to see legendary An-2. Its awesome and super loud. I found one hidden in Mishikino :) http://imgur.com/vhZS7TV All aerial vehicles demand lots of parts, and lots of liquids (fuel, hidraulic oil, engine oil) and it should take days or weeks to make them running.

The thing is, you could make that point about a lot of things in this game survival wise.. I do not know how to make a bow, tan leather or ever held a gun in my life.. Should I be prevented from doing all those things in game because I do not know how to do them in real life? Realism is great until you start taking it to the point of losing the fact that no matter what people say about survival/anti game crap, this is an entertainment medium and should be kept as such. This is a game, so lets just allow the people to do all the things they have to do to get things like helicopters up and running and let them enjoy the process and reward.. Yes it should be a pain in the ass to get it running and keep it working but the fact is, if I ever managed it, it would make the effort, team work and time debt worthwhile when I am flying about and enjoying the views.. As long as they aren't armed then they are not overpowered. Yes they can be used to move a squad in or whatever, but who cares. A V3S will eventually be able to do the same as will any other vehicles with 4-5 seats.. Yes the chopper will get there faster, of course, but they also become a focal point for a lot of targeting from those who see it pass.. The way I see it, as long as there is a weapon capable of punching through the glass of a heli, then the helis will not be overpowered.. And if there are no armed helis then we do not need stingers or AA guns or anything like that as until they land, parachute, whatever, they are not a threat besides spotting.

Yup, dangerous indeed. Rarely take the risk anymore, don't much like the vulnerability factor in water or vehicles for that matter. Though we've had some great fights at that prison. I've definitely learned that without a grenade it can prove difficult to penetrate. I wonder if a paint can + fireplace kit (.55) could do the trick as well. Might have to visit now and find out.

I voted "Yes - I want to see all kinds of aerial vehicles". For my reasoning, I checked "Other". I want aerial vehicles for the thrill when I haven't seen anyone in an hour and I'm casually strolling down main street in some backwater village practicing my headshots with a Magnum on Zed when I hear the sound of rotors in the distance and have to haul ass to a safe spot before I'm seen. Who knows? Maybe I will be near a place rumored to spawn some vital piece they need for their aircraft. Maybe I will be in just the right spot when they land to have an advantage if things go south. Maybe I will be seen from the air and unceremoniously gunned down. The point: Who knows what will happen? I like my gameplay emergent with a side of chaos.

Arma 2 Overpoch Server 69.162.83.138:2302 Teamspeak ts3.bluehorizongaming.com We have friendly Admins and Staff. Staff is Always on TeamSpeak to help with your server problems and complains. Constant Server updates with new mods and content. Server Hosted in Mid United States. Blue Horizon Gaming is recruiting new Members everyday! This is a new server so please be patient and if you have any ideas you would like to give to the owners dont be shy We currently Have the current mods installed: logistic tow and life epoch mission system wicked AI gold coins self bloodbag deployable vehicles And more to come!

Well i really think these kinds of vehicles should still be doable by individuals but they definitely need to take longer. Weight factor hopefully by than will play a huge part in this as you will have to decide whether or not you want to carry a tire in your pack or carry vital supplies you need to survive on. Carrying large parts SHOULD be doable via craftable sleds and pushed by hand, etc. Kind of like what you could do with logs in The Forest for extremely heavy loads.

Eventually would like to see one of these. Dude i freaking love the paint scheme. But if i could paint even light aircraft colors like this id be a happy camper haha. I picked Yes - I want to see all kinds of aerial vehicles I really think there should be as many aerial vehicle types as there is land types in real life HOWEVER I do think they should still be rare and i think the parts especially for something like pictured above should be rare as hell but something kind of endgamish.

Even the addition of the V3S (when it goes up hills) has been huge because you can fly around the map and gear up and pick friends up in a way that wasn't possible before. Aerial transport will also further change and enhance the game. I do think it may be worth while to allow server admins to have some control over certain things - I could see a private server where they wanted it legacy StandAlone with no vehicles. It's going to be interesting as additional vehicles get added...

Then why do some servers have extra vehicles buildings etc. ?

We noticed this on Europa aswell and have set maxvehicles to 45 (instead of 75 or 85 that is the new default in the new vanilla db procedures wich will spawn a total of 55 or 56 vehicles) so newly crashed vehicles don't respawn, like you said, on the very next restart. It feels better and our players seem to like it.

1) If you are in a town where all you can find is books, that means EVERYONE ELSE has got there before you, and took everything good. GO INLAND 2) In a survival situation, which Day Z is, your metabolic needs are accelerated. This means you often need more food, water, and sleep. 3) Sooo....put the Jerry Can down to open the car trunk? Problem solved. 4) Cry more. Some devs have stated that there could be a maximum of 10 vehicles per server. Get used to running, or look for a bike when they get implemented.

Our aim is to create a humble community-based DayZ Overpoch server with the community in mind. All of us used to play on a small 50-slot server with familiar people and we're looking to bring that back. Our addons and scripts are ideas our players recommended to us or we thought best enhanced the gameplay experience. Those include: - DZGM: ebaydayz's group management. With a map in your inventory you can add or remove any of your friends to a group and see each other's location wherever you are on the map or if they're within 1.2km you can see an icon over their head. No more killing each other! - P4L: RimBlock's A Plot 4 Life. Retain ownership of everything on your plot even after death. No more replacing your plot pole every time you die, which inevitably happens often. - Door/Plot Management: Zupa's amazing management scripts that allow you to add or remove people from your door or plot which allows them the right to open any door without codes or build and remove anything on your plot. - Missions: We have over 34 unique AI missions that spawn at varying times across the map. AI difficulty and humanity gains are varying as well with Hero, Bandit and neutral AI missions. Crate loot is based on AI difficulty, so you have a chance to make some serious cash or get the supplies for your super crazy hideout. - Single Currency: Zupa's SC removes the need for metal-based currencies and you can buy/sell all metals at any trader city. No banking, though, as this removes a huge element of the DayZ experience IMO. - Dedicated: We don't run your average copy/paste VM server, we rent our own dedicated server hardware with a stable connection and high-end hardware. 3.2GHz quad-core Xeon, 8GB of memory, and SSD game files/database. Totally overkill, but we want the best gameplay experience possible with headroom for other servers and headless clients. - And many more, including the ability to paint vehicles, enhanced spawn selection with different loadouts to suit your play style, snab build pro with vector building, tow/lift vehicles, key identifier, wireless lock/unlock/start of your vehicles, take clothes, change view distance, and weekly admin-hosted events with rewards. Our server is hosted in Quebec, CA with great latency to all parts of the US and playable to closer countries. Our max ping is set to 400 to allow for players from other countries to join as well. We don't discriminate, whatever language you speak, you're welcome to play here. We have 50 slots max for the best possibly gameplay experience. ArmA doesn't perform well past that point, even with dedicated hardware. We have 4 dedicated active admins and a handful of moderators. I personally keep watch over admin usage logs and admin gameplay to make sure no one is abusing their powers granted to them by me. I strive for a balanced and fair gameplay experience and will not tolerate abuseive admins. We've had to deal with it ourselves all too often.

These are up north. On the map I have marked them as Point A and Point B. At point A I was turning my truck around and it "fell" into some kind of hole and off the map. I even heard the Doppler effect of the truck getting further and further away until I could hear it no longer. Needless to say this killed my character. At Point B I found what appears to have been a mixed column of armor and soft skinned vehicles that met an ambush and an unfortunate end, I call it the Dirt Road of Death. I have attached a picture. Ignore the blue cargo truck on the left, that is the one I lost at Point A.

Hello, I live just outside of Stary Yar and I can confirm that it has become extremely dangerous up here. I would like to sell my house and move to a new location, where life is not such a hardship, but the bottom has dropped out of the real estate market. There has been some strange geological activity and entire vehicles are known to have been swallowed whole. We are just simple country folks, and we can ill afford a loss of even one of our few, prescious vehicles. We live in constant fear that our neighbors, or family members may likewise disappear. There is also the issue with the bodies that were recently uncovered and the violent strangers who were found at the scene. It took five grown men to restrain one of them and the other had to be shot by local law enforcement. The authorities still have not been able to establish a motive for the crime and our local doctor is baffled by the behavior of the criminal that was captured. We are concerned that he may be a member of some deranged cult, who are experimenting with hallucinogenic drugs. We no longer sleep well in our beds, worrying that there are more like him, prowing our streets at night. Several members of the community have taken to barricading themselves inside of their homes and shooting indiscriminately at the strange noises that come from the woods at night. Please comrads, if you value your lives, do not come to Stary Yar ... especially at night.

Holding back gameplay mechanics due to something else not being in the game or not being accessible is not good imo , especially when vehicles and bicycles will probably not be very common in the finished game. Since stamina , and movement is so important to dayz the earlier they can start testing this out the better. Time to end the 30 km/h sprint speed and make sprint drain you of energy and be only viable as a super short burst action.

I'd love to see a proper map border. Sort of breaks immersion when you see an endless plane of nothing. A mountain range to the north would be good, perhaps with a wide river running from the mountains south along the western edge of the map. Of course that wouldn't deter boats and helicopters, but I'm sure some measure could be taken to prevent vehicles from going too far.

Same thing happened to me. Avoid that particular server, either the admins are duping items, or it is not a well-kept server. I had this problem on only one server, which seemed fine most of the time. I think sometimes the lag is caused when multiple vehicles/players drive through the cities in the north (idk why they cause so much more lag than the southern cities). I suggest to do the following: - find a server that seems reasonably populated and stable -> test if consistency works by dropping a backpack and a weapon in a place you'll remember. If either of them disappears after the restart, switch servers again and repeat. - you might wanna check the miltary base south-east of Vybor. When there is a lot of loot in there, it's either from duping or glitching. Tempting as it is to camp these servers, they are usually instable and laggy after a while. - avoid servers that constantly restart (they show a different time every couple of minutes, until the admin stops the restarts, so they can start their gun-harvest.) - look for public servers, 30 people is stable for me and worked fine the past few days.

Only when persistence won't be an option anymore, and even then there will be an adaptation time probably. I'd say much closer to beta in my opinion. Since the game is far from finished, I would suggest not looking for "endgame" much. (Like vehicles, tents, camp sites or the base building when it comes, as it probably will get wiped too when it first makes it's appearance.)

Surely with the mods, some enterprising and talented individual will create a DayZ Commander or DayZLauncher like program that will categorize the various mod servers and auto launch the correct mods for that server.. I can not see this being a problem.. Quite looking forward to seeing what people do with it.. Sure you will get the usual "10000 vehicles, AS50, spawn select" crap, but you will also get some truly innovative and interesting creations being mixed in and I for one am very much going to try as many out as possible and see what fits my personal preference the best.
