Honestly, unless you go to a high vehicle private server, they are just more trouble than they are worth. Vehicles are so rare that if you actually do find one, you probably just want to hide it in some dark corner of Cherno lest you bottom out on a washing machine or get ambushed by some bandits (because they see/hear you coming a mile away). I mean think about how much walking around you need to do to actually find a vehicle and then get all the parts to repair it. You could just walk to wherever you want to go in the first place.

I am assuming you are on a "vanilla" server if you are having trouble finding vehicles. Once i logged into a server and a fully fueled and repaired Huey was right next to me on the beach. Finding vehicles is usually hard and people obviously hide them when they find them. There are spawn points for vehicles but i never have much luck finding them there only at camps. Tbh the only vehicle i use nowadays is the bicycle.

Byff's Blogz day#18 Decided to try tooling myself up and loosing the axe for a while. The axe has become a comfort blanket to me, knowing that when in a tight spot, it'll one hit zeds silently. So I'm forcing myself to carry a "proper" weapon, at the moment, a M4A3 CCO (I think that's what it's called). I noticed there was only me and another player on the fogeyz Chernarus server so I thought I'd be a badass and go hunt him down. Crossing Balota, I noticed zeds on the road so stalked through the trees to find my pray. There he was, crossing into some military tents - unarmed and being a complete Bambi. I could have shot him, but I didn't have the heart, so opened up a bit of dialogue instead. I stayed hidden which was fun, he was running all over the place and he didn't know where I was, dodging behind tree's and lurking in bushes. In the end, I took him along to Cherno and got him kitted up, but once he'd got a weapon, I said my goodbyes and left him to it. I'm still no where near what you'd call proficient in this game, but today has made me realise that I'm not as useless as I think I am. All I need now is a few more players on the server so come join me on the Fogeyz private hive - custom buildings and 300 extra vehicles.

While I have customized my Tavi server - by modifying zombie difficulty, primarily - I cannot imagine running a map with either forty helicopters or a "starter kit". I definitely see where you are coming from though. Oddly enough, my goal has been to make DayZ much more difficult, rather than to hold a player's hand. All of that banter expressed, I see no harm in custom loot tables and a wider variety of vehicles - so long as they spawn damaged so players must first repair them. I mean, why can I have a silenced M4, but not silenced PDW? makes little sense, but I digress ...

Agreed, Unfortunately it's difficult. We had our server in "normal" mode with vanilla spawns and loadout. Just the additions of street lighting and other atmospheric enhancements and it never became populated. Add vehicles, NPC's and alike and people join. It doesnt help there are 4000 chernarus servers of which 80% are empty.

[XK] After almost a year of playing Dayz I've found many amazing servers, but as amazing as they were they were always lacking in something that another server had or didn't have. At first it was all about getting a daytime server, then a well optimized daytime server. After that it turned into getting that with favorite settings. Then it turns into settling for a server that has all the right things but maybe has something off putting like admins that horde vehicles and such, or use a pay to win structure I.e; Payed custom loadouts (game breaking). So, after lots of research, myself and a group of close clanmates with years of hosting experience decided it was time to start our own DayZ server with all the most favorite perks of popular servers but without any experience breaking features, and admins that actually understand how frustrating it is when the game glitches and you get spawned in the sea or lose your loot you spent hours or days getting, so we save many backups and keep multiple logs showing different information to help these players get back what they've lost. Please help us in populating this server and keeping it alive, it can be found @ 173.192.200.117:3187 http://www.xkclan.com| TS: xkclan.com:1337 - Private Hive // XK (WhiteList enabled) - 50 Slot - TimeZone Offset = GMT-6 (This gives us daylight during the peak times) (Plus USA players can play with daylight) - US Server - Hosted in D.C., USA - low ping & high spec dedicated server box - Auto Restarts every 3 hours from 00:00 GMT. *NOW WITH COUNTDOWN WARNING MESSAGES* - Destroyed Vehicle Cleanup and Creation scripts are run automatically on every restart - 6 Flyable Helicopters (Includes 1 APACHE) - 6 Flyable Aircraft - Triple Vehicles - Random lootable Heli Crash sites - Nameplates = OFF - Waypoints = ON - Crosshair = OFF - Peripheral Vision Guide Dots = OFF - 3rd Person = ON - Side Chat = ON - Custom DayZ Code - Death Messages including murder weapon - New Anti-Hack - Optimization Script

I wouldn't even know where to begin calling this server a noob hellhole. It's certainly got more vehicles than most of the crap servers I see advertised here.

Come check us out; we've got something for everyone! (Side note: If we don't have something you like, we add new features based on community requests. So tell us what you want!) We're a dedicated server, containing the following features: Edit: updated to reflect new features!

Server IP: 108.174.63.242:2302 Teamspeak IP: crayzmod.teamspeak3.com 173.192.87.62:5466 Password: crayz Forums: http://www.crayzmod.proboards.com/ Website: http://crayzmod.com/ Currently, no download is required to play with us, but we will eventually be transitioning to a MUCH larger feature set, and require a client side install of certain files. (This is, however, a long term goal.) So what are you doing not running through elecktro already?!

Excellent server lots of fun action good vehicles! 10/10 new home server and growing!

Update: -175+ plus custom buildings added with 500+ interior objects, 4 new military bases with loot. -Gun racks available for clans to store weapons on -Coastal highway fires for new players to find their way in the dark -New custom balanced vehicles. !ALL NEW VEHICLES ARE UNARMED OR HAVE HAD FIREARMS DISABLED!

M4 variants, M60, AK Variants, Machete, Sniper variants and G36 variants. Spawn chances for these guns are normal and only spawn in military areas. Pistol ammo now spawns in all spawn areas such as farms and industrial. -Leaderboards For Kills and survival time will be posted on the main post and on the server message

We might also be able to get this in before release * [NEW] - Vehicles and tents now report free gear slots (example: UAZ (weapons/others/backpacks)). http://ziellos2k.net...17141327522.png http://ziellos2k.net...17141346844.png Images updated

Just wanted to add. you don't need to spawn in vehicles on a private Epoch server... I'm playing for 2 days now with a friend on our own server, whe already have 2 armored suv, a huey, 2 tank-trucks, 1 ural, 2 Hmmv, 3 tents and regular SUVs in 5 colors. Imagine what a Team of 5 or 6 could achieve in the same time, also without spawning in anything. Edit: but as a fact, the only reason we both have NVGs is, because I bought the wholesale-box. Still don't have Rangefinder or GPS, as both are not for sale at the moment. But all the commerce-issues are nothing compared to how fast you bleed out in epoch compared to other mods. Both of us died at least once, because we bled out within 20 seconds from being hit, while the knockout-animation would have taken about 5 minutes to finish.

New Namlask Server up and running. Bloodsuckers on EVR storms off. Great for new players Recruit with name plates off custom starting gear and lots of vehicles. Friendly admins. We host a teamspeak server and your welcome to join directly through our website. Server is also running latest Gotcha-Anti hack. 50 Slots IP 184.173.146.24:3068 http://s-o-c.enjin.com/home

We are a new server looking for new players or old to join us. We haven't made any modification to the server other than it being daytime 24/7. So if you're looking for a standard DayZ server then come and join us! Features: 25 Vehicles (1 Helicopter) Always Daytime. Standard starting loadout: Pain killers, Patrol pack, 1 Bandage. No death message. Third person and Crosshair is active. Admins are active\friendly, we are also looking to recruit some admins if the server grows in population. No abusive admins. None of that rubbish "donate to get a special loadout gear". (We can handle the cost for our server) Rules: Don't use your microphone in sidechat!!! (Don't be that guy... :D) Respect everyone on the server. And the most obvious rule... Don't cheat. IP: 5.63.148.28:3238

Lark, I'm not going to dispute your version of events, as I wasn't online the days in question. However, I will point out that there two sides to every story and I will be addressing your grievances with my guys and laying down some rules FOR EVERYONE. I built this server with good intentions, but some are getting a sense of entitlement, and I will put a stop to it. I have locked down all the admin tools and will be scouring the database for banned weapons, and vehicles. I am in process of fixing the traders so that every item is available and that everyone can have a fair chance at the best gear. If my clan wishes to follow the Blackmarketeer model we will have to do it legitimately. I will provide the buildings and that is it. I have figured out the database management enough to enable new and different vehicles to be bought and sold at the traders. But no game breakers. With that in mind, I will not be enabling the return of the Armored Black SUVs as I feel that they are overpowered.

It wont come out in June... arma 2 is way better than standalone cuz u got mods for arma2 OA like takistan life revolution, wateland etc. dayz standalone will be the same shit chernarus runnin simulator with out admins being able to add vehicles buildings etc so if u ask me im not even looking forward buying standalone when namalsk map offers u way more pvp

We currently run a hardcore Namalsk server on Expert settings, none of your n00b crutches enabled, we also have bloodsuckers and evr enabled. There's only 16-18 vehicles on the map and you start with bandage,torch and painkillers nothing else. Were currently getting high numbers so it's brutal pvp for those that can handle it, but tons of fun :thumbsup:

I Annabelle, Queen of Dayz hereby formally challenges Dean 'Rocket' Hall to a duel within Dayz. Lets put all that training you have undergone to climb Mt. Everest into practise, no better way than a cold blooded duel. The duel shall follow these strict rules. I will allow you to pick the server, any server you like. The main weapon must only be a Lee Enfield, no picking up any other mainhand weapon. Any sidearm you can find. No ghillie suits or camo clothing allowed, you may wear a rocket skin but I retain the right to carve it off when I win and keep it as a trophy. No help from friends on an admin map. No restriction on the tools. No Satchel charges or vehicles. The duel shall take place inside of Elektrozavodsk. No combat logging, if you combat log you must uninstal DayZ play WarZ for the rest of your life. You may enter any buildings which would not be considered a 'glitch'. You have 1 life and 1 life only, if you die you lose the duel. If you die to a zombie you also lose the duel. May this be the greatest duel of DayZ and the winner of the duel will be formally crowned the king or queen of Elektrozavodsk. So Rocket, I am calling you out, will you answer? Moderators: Please do not Graveyard this thread, it is serious, if the thread is placed in the graveyard Rocket loses the duel.

i'm all up for a serious HC server no backpack one bandage and a flashlight, low military loot low backpack spawn. It makes you feel awesome when you find a patrol pack and an AK with a mag. Also rax at NEAF few more towns NPCS and higher spawn rate of bikes. Can't deal with 1st person only because i have to be in third person while running around it gives me a headache, 1st person in vehicles would be fun, also no name tags etc. And kill messages!

Hello all, We have done some updates :) We now have base building added into our server, custom vehicles spawns, and we have added back in the additional seating in vehilcles :) Hope you all enjoy

I shall post the server details in the private hive discussion when the server is ready. Charactristics as of now are something like this: Active/Fair Admins,Starting Loadout: Makarov+1 Mag, Painkillers, Bandage, Torch, 75 Vehicles at the moment (will be 50 or so), Veteran Difficulty, 3rd Person ON (contemplaing on turning it off), Crosshair OFF, Name Plates OFF,Time Zone GMT+3 (will be GMT-x) normal cycle, Location: Greece, Custom Buildings mostly to balance the map (1 NE Airfield Barrack/ Medical Tent and 2 Small Military Tents at Kamenka), Weekly Clan Events, 6 hour restarts, reduced AS50-M107 spawn rate, TS dedicated and no kill messages. Will keep you up to date. :P

Not at all. I'm just saying, wait until they add vehicles if they're that important. Realism for movement can depend on the characters background/story and they've said quite a few times that the survivors are not necessarily military trained. The run jump did look a tad silly but I'm waiting to see it in person.
