Hey guys new player here. After about a week I feel like I've finally gotten the hang of it a little. Last night while playing though I came up against an issue. I finally found a tent, but when I tried to set it up I never got the finish building option. The tent was just stuck to me. I aborted and when I came back in the tent was set up and all was good. Today I logged in and the tent was gone. Tough because I put all of my good gear in it so I could go looting and now I have nada. I came on here and saw a couple of post about tents and vehicles being messed up since 1.8 came out and 1.802 didn't fix it. Does anyoe know any servers (public vanilla) where the tents are working? Thanks TJ

As long as the standalone has a decent system in place to take care of any script kiddies and hackers it will be fine. I'd rather they only kept one 'main' hive purely because all the extra vehicles, loadouts etc. etc. are beyond pathetic and completely defeat the whole 'survival' aspect of the game. I'd be more than happy if all the silly players leave because they aren't getting everything handed to them on a silver platter - good riddance.

Because a picture paints a thousand words, can you spot the vehicle camp in the following image? Let's have a closer look at the tractor, Land Rover, Humvee and bus: And let's take an even closer look at the Humvee: The other vehicles appear to have caught fire. Faulty workmanship in action. In my opinion the problem stretches all the way back to Operation: Flashpoint, and the decision to make the engine an all-purpose military platform that encompasses infantry combat, tank warfare, and aerial combat. It gets progressively less suitable as it scales up. I'm not a games developer, but it's a shame they can't have a system whereby beyond a certain distance the trees are treated as a single, dense mass - like a cloud - rather than remaining as a bunch of individual objects. 'cause as you can see it doesn't scale.

The biggest problem with an idea like that is the genie is out of the bottle. People have already gotten accustomed to being able to have everything at will and most will not likely go back to vanilla even if quitting is the only alternative. I do intend on playing on public hives as the only reason I left them to begin with was the abundance of hackers. Once they get their network bubble figured out my one complaint should be gone. That's not to say that six months in I wouldn't want something more, and private hives might offer that extra content and experience that dlc would if it existed at that point. I agree with the OP that it would definitely help the game in the long run if they forced everyone on the same public hive for the first few months. The biggest threat to a stable community right now is the ease with which every twelve year old playing can pull just a few players away to a private hive. Once doesn't hurt anything but when the vast majority of servers have just a few players it doesn't help anyone. I always laugh at the amount of people trying to advertise this new amazing server that's loaded with absurd crap. The perfect piece of evidence of this community being broken was a post I once made on these forums. I made a joke post about a new server I opened that had thousands of vehicles, hundreds of helis and F18s, donate for an invisibility cloak, etc and people actually thought I was serious. I expected a few pages of people laughing with me and instead found people actually thinking it was real. It was kind of sad really.

Private hives are stupid, as you said 950 vehicles ect defeats the purpose of working for your loot and cars.

For the SA. Atleast until it is late in the game, private hives/and some mods have completely killed the original, vanilla dayz mod for me, and I'm sure it did for a lot of other people. Lets see one server.. 950 vehicles, 100 heli's, as50s extra barracks, generous starting loadouts, spawn with nightvision.. Self blood bag. Oh my god the self blood bag is on pretty much every server now. Thus defeating the purpose of hero's blood bagging other players -_-, and dumbing down teamwork.

Hey guys and survivor! Today i wan't to show you my server! It's the 26 April in 1986. We are in our reactor, test something. It's 1:23:00° AM, and we'll test some security things. In some seconds we'll turn off the the security of the reactor and hope all will work. 1:23:20°AM All our workers are informed, 20 seconds till we try to test! 1:23:40°AM Alex pushed the button of the damagesecurity. 1:23:44°AM Alert! The neutron particles multiply, the reactor will blow up! We ran as fast as we can, but we didn't had the time. Our destiny is written. All of us died, except of me, i ran and got out! Next Day. The reactor seems like a wreck, everywhere nuclear radiaton... We can't live in this location anymore... So we went to another city. 20 Years later. The year 2006, nothing happens in these long long years, except for a uninhabitable place. This is Chernarus! And our server is near the reality! Our features: -Custom map! -Custom Cars! -Custom View! -Working Dogs! -1200 Vehicles! -Bots! (Bandit/Hero) -Towing/Lifting! -Self Bloodbag! -Many Military! Join us today, and feel the environment of our Server! -83.169.13.171:2302- That's not all! We've got 2 servers! -85.131.148.210:2302- This is the reality! Good luck out there survivor!

Same problem with 1.8.0.2. Really wish someone could look into this and fix it. No one wants to play on a server that does not save their tent items or vehicles.

This is the place to go to have active admins that dont abuse the game. There are way too many servers set up that the admins just take what they want and spawn the rest for themselves and others. Are you and your friends looking for a community that you can help build? Stop in and checkout Zeds Rule. http://www.gametracker.com/server_info/192.111.147.42:2802/ Here are some of the things that have been added. We have added vehicles and they are in abundance still as the the server has been running less then a week. We also added self blood bags although it will only add 400 health per bag so that one bag is not the fix all. We have added building materials to our custom traders to help you secure your camp with gold. These traders are also in safe zones. There is a bus route that also runs on the map that you can use to help you move around from town to town if you choose. We are currently working to add custom AI missions as well sort of like a wasteland mission that you mag be able to aquire some premiums as well. Please stop in and join the fun. Hope to see you there.

So generally speaking the server itself is not of terrible quality. The problem is the admins. On literally ANY dayz server the admins have the ability to see where players are, spawn vehicles or weapons for anyone, heal themself, teleport etc. So if you have a crappy admin there's no point playing. As a general rule of thumb go and play on servers that are popular on gametracker. if they're constantly packed with players they clearly do something right as a server. If they had BS admins the players would have left already. Simple.

Realistically though.. most vehicles need a key to actually turn on and use.. unless you hot wire it. Which would be the new means to hijack someone. I've seen that mode.. and I like that system and their base building system for the most part.. they should be in the Day Z Vanilla in my opinion.

Vehicles should stay how they are in DayZ Vanilla. If you want vehicles with keys, go buy one from a trader in DayZ Epoch. Seriously, you can do that- go check it out.

Missions are now unique to our server, including our own set missions with custom loot. Our teamspeak is same as the IP minus the port. Give us a try. Recent update: We've made a ton of updates to the server, adding in crafting bikes, even more map additions. There are lots of clans pitted against each other. Best of all we've been running 30 players a night. We are still offering a small supply drop for players who stick around for a few days. More pictures to come of new map additions. We continue to tweak the trader inventories and prices. We also have a forum now, here you can view our scoreboard, general forums, bounty board, and the vendor pricing list for the server. http://dayzborderpatrol.freeforums.net In the past we had a 30+ man server and after an extended downtime we decided to start a new Epoch server. This time around we wanted to do everything in moderation. In the past everyone has had fun on our server and hope we can succeed again. Server is now also dedicated, no server host used. -Cities additions and other additions to the map make sense and go with the theme of a post SHTF dayz. We have not made pitiful attempts at placing high loot buildings all in one area -We have made full usage of the new Map_EU buildings and will be adding new loot spots -The view distance on the server has been increased to 6000. Fog has been tweaked and not only adds to gameplay but looks great, especially at night. -PvP events in a constructed arena also take place, with the winner receiving a vehicle, gear, or weapons -Weapon cache missions have been added to provide a varied PvE experience with a reward -Server bandit ai have been added to provide PvE in additions to an unknown. We have found that players are too used to Dayz and are comfortable taking chances. We want players to think before doing. -A short night cycle of 4 hours in game time (not attached to any time zone) -During the last hour of night and 2 hours of dawn ground fog has been added -Server traders, vehicles spawns, and loot tables have been customized to include as many as possible vehicles, gear, and weapons. Everything has been done in moderation. If someone chooses to take a heavy military approach to the server they can, however if someone wants to take a survival approach they can as well. -Various addons such as drinking from ponds, knocking players out, clothing removal, nametags, -Admins are generally reachable ingame or in our teamspeak 192.99.0.182:9139 We have 3 clans which have begun to play and hopefully we will be able to get in touch with most of our old players. Try us out. We will always accommodate clans with some sort of boost for building a base or skin selection (perm) and nothing OP. If any role playing groups join (medic/bandit/hero) they can claim the server "role" and the admins can accommodate. Most of all, admins actually play the server. They do not teleport around the server spawning vehicles and weapons to kill people.

I concur. The majority of DayZ Players are 'Casual Gamers', who simply want easy loot, 1000+ Vehicles and PVP DM. All Vanilla servers are just ghost towns now........

zero has vehicles..maybe they are just hoarded..i found in a forest in podagorsk a ural and a humvee full of stuff (took the humvee while guys were on ural doing pic nic) same for vanilla..you should try clans servers..they are often modded about buildings but nothing changes about gameplay..just look around..

That's what I'm saying, I can't find a vanilla server with more than 2 people on it. I play a zero server with like 15 others. There are no vehicles at all that I've found.

I've been playing Epoch because of more cars and buildings. I cannot find a server that doesn't have every car locked or a trade zone. I just wanted a basic server with more buildings and fixable vehicles.No starting load out as well. Any ideas?

We do this by lowering the sell price of high end value loot. It is important to note that all vehicles with mounted guns have been removed from the dynamic loot spawn and have have the quantities reduced to zero at trader cities for now. We will add them back in game later. PvP is allowed against & from within personal base domes, as long as players attempt to target PLAYERS within domes. Intentionally targeting tents, vehicles, & other valuable structures within domes is not allowed. Collateral damage may happen but should be discouraged. Any attempt to explicitly destroy personal base domes' tents & vehicles is forbidden. Vehicle kamikazes against personal base domes is not allowed, either by land or air. Only three trader zones are protected by domes, preventing players from being killed. These zones are Bash, Klen, and Stary Sobor. While players or vehicles are in these protected trader zones, NO THEFT OR DAMAGING OF PLAYERS OR VEHICLES IS ALLOWED. These are intended to be "safe zones" and griefing therein may result in a ban. Any trader zone not listed above is open to PvP.

Hey guys, Just a quick, shameless server plug. This is an Epoch server. The general theme is Wasteland style, though it is not strictly PvP. There will be special event/missions with booty. We have added tanks and various anti tank vehicles and weapons to the traders, as well as various other items and weapons. New stuff is added regularly, and sometimes there will be sale prices on certain items. Basically this is a server for players whom are looking for more of a challenge. For those players that have the zombies figured out and no longer pose a threat to them. There are a lot of servers like this so its just up to you to try it out. Active adult admins, anti-hacks, etc. We would like to develop a community to give us ideas to improve the server. You develop the server with your ideas. Its very low pop right now, its new. Its a Chicago based server. Side chat is disabled, but we are looking at getting a teamspeak or something like that soon, if it is requested. There will be no "Pay to Win" aspect at all, as this is for players looking for advanced combat situations and various other challenges. (we don't want to do a straight up Wasteland server because we like zombies.) However, for a limited time we will hook players up with a briefcase to get them started, if they wish. There will be a forum or website set up soon, if we get enough players. You can contact an admin in-game via direct chat. Just type "admin", as there is usually one monitoring...

Vehicles should have a key with them. That would solve this problem. All they could do then is take apart or destroy your vehicles. Make them work for what they want!
