The best gift an admin/server owner can give to any player base is to return the full degree of freedom that DayZ allows in the first place. I played on an awesome server once called 'Worldwide Infection' which died with the transition to 1.7.5.1. After weeks playing on that server I never once noticed sign or presence of an admin - though I suspected one of the regular players might have been one. Basically, all the admin stuff was in the background and we players were free to do as we pleased without fear of interference from a heavy handed admin. How that server was never hacked (was not whitelisted) I do not know. On topic, not all private hive admins will mess with your hidden camps/vehicles/bases. I will only do so if a player hides a tent or vehicle within texture gaps, or loot generating buildings. Finally, the best place to hide your gear is the place you never reveal.

Map change to Chernarus, featuring AI, bandit patrols, Soldiers and hero's. Lots of custom loot spawns and vehicles. The server has become even better!

Don't really see why, if an admin can spawn items why steal items? I also trust my admins pretty well. I mean I heard of that happening on the LaughingMan server because they gave full admin tools to a lesser admin but I think only the main two admins on the server I play on have those tools. And typically they aren't even playing they are helping new players get introduced to the game and coming up with events/ideas to improve server. Now I'm risking someone from these forums logging on and searching for my vehicles but I'm quite sure I'm safe from my admins :)

Do NOT rent a server from DayZ.st if you want a support that is actually helpful and SUPPORTIVE". I am just writing this post to warn others, of my bad experience. I've sendt about 25 mails to them over a period of a month, 3 has been answered, with ridiculous answers, as if they have not even read any of the mails I've sent. The server has been incredibly unstable, and they blamed me and my computer. i told them there was a server sided problem, so with no further answer and help, i changed the server location, and it worked. yet, there was many bugs with vehicle spawning etc, which i got no support on except " just hit the spawn button.", which does not work for added vehicles amongst other things, you have to manually edit the limit_max in database and so forth... this is just the PRE-TASTE of their bullsh*t! So i am saying, DO NOT RENT, if you want a support, that supports. I am NOT interested in feedback here, i do not care what experiences you have had, or if you "Love" them, i'm simply just expressing my opinion on them, as i have told them i will do. Greetings, Ponduzn.

Well currently the Ural has a bunch of vehicle parts stashed in it that I scavenged from other cars and parts of the map so I don't think it would slow them down too much haha. When I hide vehicles I try to think of hiding it from myself. I usually check out every town I pass but I'm not as thorough in the woods for obvious reasons. Then I think about sight from the air because there are some clans that play on server and have helis. Then I look at nearby towns and fastest route between them by both straight line and roads. The place I have them now I feel could only be spotted by a heli taking the exact right path or a person on foot who just happens to be in the middle of nowhere. I'm hoping there is a better spot though lol Rabid

Alright guys I just came back this week from about a 6-month hiatus. I was never really that great to begin with I just stuck to small servers with a buddy. I managed to find a private hive I like. It has increased vehicle spawns but not hundreds extra like some servers. I got my hands on a Ural and Off road truck after some repairs and hid them in the woods in what I thought would be out of the way and fairly safe. I tried to put trees between them and the area I felt would be most likely to be traveled if at all. I'm really looking for a place that a vehicle of this size can be hidden and won't be found. Please send me your suggestion in PM. As a general question that can be answered openly do you guys find the best hiding place to be in the woods on the Northern or Southern half of the map? Rabid

tajjuk, I know at least one of those examples wasn't a hacker, and a couple others could not have been too. The large number of heli crashes is due to the server taking a long time to restart. They spawn over the lifetime of the server now and not just all at once at the start, so if it doesn't restart daily, you end up getting all those crash sites. Was the next one on a private hive? A lot of the private hives like to kick up the number of vehicle spawns to ridiculous amounts, seen one with 7,000, no joke. So you'll sometimes see large groups of vehicles in weird places, or people will horde them, like that kid probably was. If not could've been admin abuses.

I'm currently running a very close to vanilla ( public/standard ) server with a few scripts ( Auto-refuel ) - it's a great place to learn, we have active admins that will help and answer any questions you have! Come and hop in and start your DayZ experience! :D Look forward to seeing you guys! DayZ Chernarus - 150 Vehicles, 5 Heli's, scripts and active admins - 159.253.131.97:3374

Not everyone wants a hardcore game like you that, for me I just wouldn't play because I simply don't have that much time to invest, if it takes like 10 minutes to make a campfire then I just wouldn't bother. If I wanted the experience of making a campfire I'd do it in real life, I play games to have fun not to do chores. I find the game fun as it is. Zombies to me are a threat but not overly so, you have to be careful around them, loose some blood and you might get knocked out. Like I said in earlier posts I wouldn't mind slightly stronger, slightly more relentless zombies but only when they fix the glitchy stuff out, super zombies? no sorry, not what this game is about in my opinion. PvP will always be the real draw of this game, its where the real tension comes from. A randomly appearing super zombies that takes two people to kill it is stupid IMO, first off zombies are infected people, why they suddenly become super strong and fast when they are decayed people? Secondly that just adds a lot of random element AI bad luck to the game, it's like the NPCs on some mods that are rediculously good shots. Server options is the answer, the base game should be not far from what it is, if you play on vanilla servers loot and vehicles are not everywhere. I've yet to find stuff like ghillie suits or NVGs from normal spawns. I was delighted yesterday after finding a Coyote pack at the NE airfield that I ran back to my camp to log off just because I didn't want to loose it. From this middle ground server settings can then be tweaked to suit different tastes, loot spawns and can be toned down with zombies turned up for a more surivivor experience, or the reverse for more geared up PvP type battles.

Hi, Updated the server, now automatically every time it restarts it deletes destroyed vehicles and respawn new ones. Ilganna

As azure said, Vanilla Dayz has very few vehicles. In most cases just one of each type on a server so finding one is a big deal or at elast fro me it is. When it eats the four tyres you've just trudged around half the map for it is very annoying! I'm not sure that's saying much. I know it's a bug I meant a consenus on how best to work around the bug. BTW Careful on the 'damage the vehicle to sync it in' plan. I tried this last night, gave it a little tap with my axe, got in 'boom' knocked out and bleeding on the floor.

Here is how you fix vehicles as of this patch, but be prepared to go through a lot of windscreen glass! As of the latest patch it seems like you will find a broken vehicle say with a broken wheel and engine, but everything else appears normally when you do visual check. Make sure you have a toolbox then get in the driver seat. By getting in the driver seat you tell the database that you are the "owner" of the vehicle and it seems less fussy with you fixing parts of the vehicle. Now, go to the spot on the vehicle where you can see what parts need fixing. It will say like "Repair Windscreen Glass 1", "Repair Windscreen Glass 2", etc etc. Fix these parts, after fixing these usually the vehicle goes 100% and you can operate it as normal. I do not know why windscreen glass is magical this patch but it is just something we need to deal with. Additionally, if you break a wheel in town, you can do this process again, and usually when i bust a wheel, its telling me that windscreen 1 and 4 or something like that are broken and by fixing those, the wheels pop back on and i am good to drive again. In short, fix the windscreen on vehicles first.

Hello Darkesttimes ! None of this issues are on our server, no kick if you drink/eat. You can find 78 different vehicles on LU511 (7 choppers, 4 trucks, etc ...) on public hive ! Admins are very present, we fight against hackers every day, and there's not much hack on here. Hope to see you soon !

Hello there i saw this server and i have couple of questions, How are vehicles on this server? My friends and me like the survive aspect of the game ( gathering food, drinking, making sure we dont get sicks etc) now we kinda build up a good "camp" but we have searched many servers for transportation and we sound a multiple problems on diff servers: 1, no cars AT ALL we prob nearly scanned each city,village without even seeing a bike 2. we found a car! but we cant eat nor drink on certain servers without getting disconnected 3. found a good server but way too crowded(wich doesnt need to be a bad thing but having 1 person camping a place the whole day just pisses me off) so i am wondering how are things here? can we eat food and drink without getting disconnected? we barely go to big cities (just so now and then to get blood and other supplies) we would just love some to have transportation seeing that we often have to travel to newbies place to pick up newly friends xD

Grishino. It's a short run to the NWAF and there's plenty of good loot in the town or nearby, as well as forest cover from all sides. Also where a lot of people hide their vehicles.

I gave you my beans. Great post and nice to hear the zombies will improve. Yeah agreed when the zombies become too easy PvP gets easier and there really isn't much of a point to team up. So everyone just shoot on sight. If we get to see rougher survival elements this would change. Problem is there will always be people who don't like too much survival elements in a surivival game. People get relived when they start with a weapon, don't have to experiance night, won't have to worry about dangerous zombies, can find tones of weapons and vehicles. Sadly that usually leads to the survival and teamwork aspect becomes less important. Most people want the flashy shit, to them less isn't more. More is more even if it completly goes against what the game is about. Another problem is that once you got decent gear there really isn't that much to do.. The zombies can't offer anything, all you can do is go and pick up food and drink and then just keep on surviving i guess...So i can understand why more people once they get bored go look for players. Since only the pvp can offer tension and intressting battles.

Looking for a customised server, run by mature admins and relatively cheat free? This is just that. We were fed up of admins abusing their powers and hackers ruining the game so we decided to found our own server and write a custom antihack for it. And with 2 of us being coders, naturally we built up a list of scripts and custom content as well. And don't worry, while it is a lot of scripts, we've been careful to preserve the true survival atmosphere that is DayZ. Remember, if you like this server and want to see it keep growing, post a comment below and tell others about it, we can only spread the word so far by ourselves And if you have anything you'd like to see changed or added to the server, we welcome feedback so post it below 10k View distance - (I'll post some better screenshots of scripts later) Info IP: 5.63.147.148:3204 Website: Weltenfall.net/dayz (WIP) TeamSpeak: Weltenfall.net Rules 1.

my problem is i cant get the building to show up in the preview or 3d editor for me to place them correctly. i have added vehicles in the 3d editor before but this is my first time trying to add buildings. it is like the map wont draw them? any ideas?

I have no problem with the idea of PvP, the problem is with balance. There are consequences in the world for avoiding PvP... chances are you won't get te really good loot, you will have a problem repairing and keeping possession of vehicles, you have to stay out of kill zone areas. The consequences of engaging in PvP is that you risk getting killed a lot. But, if you talk to most PvP players, they will tell you that doesn't bother them. So, to add consequences, you have to make PvP harder... enter the zombies. Zombies make PvP harder, they give away your position, they make it hard to keep on a target, they make it harder to gear up again when you die. If the zombies are not a threat, the balance between PvP and survival gets skewed in favor of PvP. The zombies will never be perfect, but they are definitely improving. It won't be so easy to get away from them in the next release. They are more persistent. I've had problems where I've lost one set among some buildings only to run into another set. Yes, you can still run into buildings and lose them that way. But if you want freedom to loot, it will require planning a route and silently taking out zombies that are going to get in your way... or creating a distraction. Unless you're a diehard PvP person who only wants to come on to a server to rack up as many kills in a couple hours as you can, the next build will be enjoyable, I think. Of course, server admins will also play a role in whether or not PvP is more balanced as a part of the game.

Vehicles aren't really a "thing to do" they're a means to an end. An unnecessary one at that

I dont actually think so :) Yes, forests are on the whole dull and need some randomisation in ground clutter, but I have found so many new places in Cherno due to having to hoof it in days than all my years in A2. Id personally like to see fewer vehicles in the game as a whole. Or if they have to be in make them man powered. Each to their own I suppose! Rgds LoK

Hi all, after my recent map switch i figured it was time to advertise! Undefined features Sarge's AI framework; AI bandits that shoot everything that moves, AI survivors that shoot zeds and bandits. Cherno and NWAF are a lot more dangerous now. Wasteland color fitlers: Ever play Wasteland? Notice the gloomy yellow hue some servers have? Well, i implemented that here! Gives Dayz a whole new feel. Wrecks with weapons boxes and survival gear. Youll find these around the map. 200 vehicles: Skodas and other crap cars will be found in drivable condition, better vehicles will need repair. Twitter feed with updates on server status and changes. https://twitter.com/UndefinedDayz Auto refuel enabled. Vehicle wipes weekly

It's in alpha, what are you expecting? If it's finished it wouldn't be an alpha - instead of whining, you can wait til it's out on beta release or retail release and then you can drive around Chernarus 'til your hearts content. Nobody is forcing you to get the standalone while it's in alpha, if you don't like it without vehicles, don't buy it - it's a pretty simple concept, I feel. I'd rather they properly redid the vehicles than putting in old vehicles or rushing it and making a crappy job of it.
