Playing on official servers has nothing to do with not finding vehicles. You have to look in all the right places and not along the coast. You're obviously not going to find one along the coast due to the high population of players who do spawn along the coast and if you do manage to find one along the coast expect it to be a trap as it's highly unlikely. Head up north and scout around the smaller cities. Be prepared to fix up a vehicle if you do find one, it's unlikely you'll find a fully working vehicle. Also look out for those idiots who try to drive vehicles around the cities or populated areas to tease players. Last time someone did that to my squad and I they ended up loosing all of their vehicles and gear when we mowed their asses down.

I never found a vehicle since I started playing DayZ.. Not even a repairable. I played this mod for like 80+ hours now and all I found was a bicycle once. I only play on the official servers, is that the problem?

All Admins/Moderators Have [4ID] In Their Names So Don't Get Fooled By Impersonators! Server IP - 185.2.138.60:3272 This is a new server and we're looking for fresh faces :D! Anyone is welcome to join the server, Admins and Moderators do not spawn in their own vehicles, weapons or gear! If you kill one of the admins we don't rage and kick you like some servers do. Any problems with getting on our server please post on here and we will try and sort it out for you. Also if you would like to suggest any scripts to be put into the server then please say so:)! Scripts On The Server Auto-Refuel JSRS Enabled - ' -mod=@dayz;@jsrs ' <-- Stick that in your DayZ launch parameters, enjoy. This is a new server so there is obviously alot more to come Admins/Moderators [4ID] Player [4ID] Players Slave [4ID] Cdt.Tucka.t[=UKSF] [4ID] John Mcclane [4ID] Woody

Well... Up to know i didn't see any vehicles not even a single bike... Well thanks for to respond me, have a nice day

Yep, an AI troop took my heli as I logged in to test the script last night and when I tried to shoot them down they nailed me SAS style.. Thankfully I fixed the Devils Castle guards though, I think, and they shouldn't be taking players vehicles anymore. They might grab gear though, but I'm working on that :) The AI heli patrols are all over the map, the AI's both heli and ground spawn the same way zombies do. So when you leave an area or log off, they'll despawn, freeing up server memory and hopefully reducing lag. Still in beta stage though, so let me know how you get on. But remember, these are all random now, so not even I know where they'll spawn or how many of them.. lol

Hey, I see you've had fun with the server updates then ;) Yep, the AI now behave like real players, i.e they'll steal your vehicles to get to their next waypoint (they won't take it far, usually!), they may even help themselves to your gear, so be careful where you leave your stuff.. Bandits are bandits in my eyes, kill on sight and take no chances .. AI or otherwise ;) Did you get to see the AI heli patrols ?

There is no issues with any vehicles

Thanks for the feedback. When i was first making the server i hoped i could show yourself on the map, but without nameplates/vehicles/other players being shown. But it seems this is not possible, although i can turn off nameplates, you can still see other players on the map (if you are close enough) and any vehicle in the vicinity, although i myself am not voting on the poll, as i want the community to sway the decision. I wish that the GPS you can find in the game would make it work the way i wanted it , see yourself on the map ONLY. At the moment most ppl that find GPS barely use it, when you open it it shows you a VERY zoomed in version of the map that does not help much and you are able to plot points on the map without GPS anyway. I was just hoping to try something different than other servers - a bit of both Regular/Veteran difficulty - but it did not work out as well as i hoped. Any feedback is appreciated, after this poll has finished in a few days, i will make another poll on day/night. At the moment it is around 2hr45min day, and 1 hr15min night (4hr restarts)- although because the sun is setting and i have full moon enabled it doesn't get that dark until 30 min before restart - i think it is alright at the moment but i want to know what other people think. Keep this in mind, i can only set server start at an hour between 1-24 , so it cant be like 13:30 or anything it would have to be 13:00 or 14:00.

Exactly!! Well said People also need to realize that admin powers and abuse are looked at more closely in Dayz then in other games such as Battlefield 3, Call of Duty, etc...This is because DayZ is a survival game, the whole point of the game revolves around keeping alive and getting better gear. Not like other games where all you do is kill, kill, kill then die and you get to select a class for your gear. Also what INS was doing is a such a HUGE deal because he was arming the clan he was with to the max, thus ruining the game not just for me, but others. Even if this was a one day thing (as others claim) do you realize how unbalanced that one day of doing that made the game? Oh lets see about 8 people running around the server with MK48s, Ghillie Suits, M24s, M14s, etc...What do you think happens when they get killed? Yep that lucky guy gets his gear! SO now all these people are basically getting a ton of higher gear because of people getting high end weapons that are not legit. Then the admin would just teleport people to his new location and give more weapons, process repeats. You see how even doing this for one day is bad??? TLM if you are really serious about cleaning this up and keeping your server #1 in DayZ this is what I suggest you do: 1. Ban INS - will show the community that even people close to you that if you get caught abusing your server and admin abilities that your gone 2. Wipe clean the server - Reset everything, gear, tents, vehicles, etc...Give people like a weeks notice so that they all don't freak out. But I think people will generally agree after this its a good move. 3. Restrict admin abilities to what they used to be, minus the admin map

Yeah, losing vehicles sucks even more. If you want any help gearing up or looking for cars n stuff, lemme know! I'm always down to play and help out a fellow player.

Hi light, im have been playing with rootford above, really enjoying the server. As for your poll, I have voted against map locations as i feel that being able to see where other players and vehicles are will majorly take away from the game. It will allow bandits to find and kill you and also for people to find and loot other players bases a lot easier. As for your own location, it isn't difficult to triangulate yourself with the map and compass, also you are told your rough position when you join the game. I hope this helps with the decision.

European Extreame! DayZ server We are a couple of guys who just started our server, and would like people to join! Features: - Admins online most of the time - Custom Spawnloadout - Custom Map/Locations - Friendly admins - Extra vehicles A little info: The Custom map is still under construction, so the new things will be added along the way. We are running DaRT Rcon, and i will always have the program open so i can see whats going on. The server is hosted by DayZ.st and therefor the server is low ping, but players up to 350 ping is allowed. Our admins will always be ready to help you out, if you have any problems, and if you are a new player feel free to ask anything! Right now we are running the timezone at GMT-6, But this maybe changed in the future. The spawnloadout will maybe also get changed in the future! But yeah feel free to join and have a good time on our server, we are looking forward to see you in the field! If you have any further questions send us a Email at [email protected]

Hi mate, you're welcome to come play with us on our server. We're a social gaming community that just looks for decent folks to play with on our server. We run Taviana 2.0 and it's perfect for newbies who are just getting to grips with the game as it's bigger, has more custom buildings, ore vehicles and theres less running between cities/points of interest. We have two main Factions on our server, The Ravens (friendlies, scavengers/survivors) and Scorpions (Less friendly bit more bandit types) but most will usually help a new player along and give them a hand to get to grips with the game. We also have our own public comms server (Mumble) for players to use when on our server and run weekly events for our community. No obligation to join our clans, anyone is welcome to just run along and play as and when they feel like. More details can be found at our website @ http://www.bsbnetwork.com

Haudi, Are you alloved to engage AI snipers? Couple of them was fighting a bandit mob in Stary and after they have shot all the bandits, i tried to loot the bodies, but snipers opened fire upon me. At least I think it was them, sounded like a M14. Server was about to restart so I bail out into woods.... I also noticed that AI is using vehicles, right? No one else in the server, suddenly my car was moved about 100m and what it seems from a distance, there was a dead bandit on drivers seat. :thumbsup: -P-

Moving in groups and keeping your spacing as you move can limit the amount of casualties you take if you come into contact i.e not being huddled together or riding up eachothers arseholes. A selection of different weapons has its advantage also. My group generally consists of 4 to 7 players so we tend to have at least one/two snipers, one LMG, and a mixture of rifles with automatic capability or longe range effectiveness like the M14. In contact getting as much rounds down range in theory should keep the opposers head down but being that it's only a game it may not. also having a few smoke grenades can be handy to help with extraction from contacts, i use these alot but thats just me wanting to make things that wee bit more fun and dramatic. In vehicles if there is 4 or more of my group on we split the team into 2 vehicles, if the convoy comes under contact we always chose to stop the vehicle with the driver side away from the firing point, especially if there is only two players in the vehicle with the passenger sitting behind the driver, so if it is a head on contact we can turn the passenger side towards the contract giving the driver and the passenger behind him cover to get out of the vechicle and to return fire. As this postee said communication is a big part of surviving, sometimes emotions run high and people shout and roar but that happens.

I never said developers using a RNG is bad. It's impossible not to use a RNG!!! My point is that there should be boundaries to what a zombie can and cannot do. Sure it should be able to hit for an amount of bloody damage controlled by the RNG, but it shouldn't have a chance of a knock out shot. Why? Because there is no defence. If there was a helmet you could wear that stopped KO's then fine, you there isn't one. This impacts seriously on gameplay for a single user. Impacting gameplay is BAD NEWS for players. Now in answer to a few points made by posters above: "I fail to see what's so ridiculous about there being a small chance of getting one hit knocked out by zombies. If anything it makes sense for it to be there and should probably happen more often. " Because a single player has no defence against it. In a group environment at least another player can use an epi-pen to save their partner. It's a bit like how overpowered blood bags are for groups as they can't be used solo. Unlike a real life scenario when a zombie may very well be able to knock out somebody, the developers should factor in gameplay for all types of players. "Yeah I am going to have to agree that the very minimal chance you have of getting knocked out by zed should remain. To me it's almost like the bullets in game. I've been one shotted with a M1911 at full health and was TKO and broken leg. So basically my point being the zeds need something going their way and just pretend he slit your throat or some dumb shit when you get KOd. Also I have been driving vehicles in this game for awhile and it really is not that hard to keep it out of the zeds range. Maybe it's just me but I believe I have only been hit by one ever while driving and I didn't bleed or anything. I just pay attention and don't try to go on splatter sprees anymore." Firstly, I could be very wrong here but you only get a broken leg if you're actually hit in the leg, right? Also, what are the exact mechanics for getting KO'd? I'm sure that getting below 6K blood has an effect on it. Is I mentioned before, increasing damage (blood) is fine and maybe even increasing infection/broken leg chance (although the broken leg system is a bit pants as far as morphine is concerned). It's not about making zombies easier, it's about making the gameplay better. As far as driving is concerned, it didn't really matter before the last patch (1.6x) as zombies a) couldn't damage vehicles, B) couldn't damage people in or on vehicles, c) couldn't pull people out of/off vehicles, and d) didn't spawn when a person was on/in a vehicle. "Unfortunately to the people playing. RNG is a load of bollox. EVERYTHING in this world can not be predicted. there's these wonderful things called "chance" "luck" and the "Chaos Theory". in the real world if 1 guy hits you 30 times. the first punch MIGHT knock you out. OR chaos would cause it to be the 3rd hit." Rubbish. If you think that it's total chance when you knock somebody out or not you're an idiot. It's like saying that it's 50/50 between 2 boxers if they hit each other the same number of times. It's down to the right punch at the right time. Increasing the punch strength will obviously increase the chance of a KO, but there are many other factors involved as well, so saying it's just chance of the chaos theory is quite frankly pathetic. "LIFE IS NOT FAIR. the sooner everyone gets used to that idea, the sooner we can progress as humans and evolve. ALL games have an element of RNG, and the ones that don't, usually aren't very fun. Warcraft is 99% RNG based.... and look how many people play that? So RNG can't be that much of a bad thing." People play a game to get away from life. To play something that doesn't exist in life even. Most importantly, they play a game for enjoyment. Making a game unenjoyable by making it unfair is rather stupid. Don't know about you, but life is generally fair. You can be unlucky and get shat upon if you're in the wrong place at the wrong time, but in most cases you get what you make of it. People who say life is all about chance and luck and are generally lazy fucks that try to make excuses for their own incompetence.

The amount of people using ESP hacks makes it pointless to make camps on too many servers. I have a few high pop server I play on that I have never had a camp that was well placed get raided. All others, including some low population servers have had tents get raided that you couldn't see from 2m away in any direction including up. The old camps remain until found but I don't bother making new ones any more. If I can't log out with it I don't bother picking it up. If its a .50 I will take it to the nearest bush and dump it though. Same goes for vehicles.

ok..so one last time.. - PEZ-dispenser: everyone knows why! - iron saws: maybe in garages or attics -> could be used against padlocks -degrade after several uses - coffee beans: maybe later on to brew your own coffee ;) - step-ladders: important for my idea of "unlocking" new content/areas; get access to otherwise non-accessible attics e.g. - thermos bottles: brew tea (yes HERBS please) and keep it as source of warmth at your body, or to "fight" colds etc. - tea bags: green, black, yellow, camomille, sage, fruit, peppermint, ginger... loot to enhance the repair-system of vehicles or simply to add more variety - acid - brake fluid - motor/gear oil - (mentioned before) fuses ... and now i'll leave it to that...can't come up with ideas all by my own without any help :(

There is an app for the iPod called DayZ explorer that shows all weapons, vehicles and loot in the game as well as the rarity and uses.

The dogs do work, you can transport them in vehicles also

cars will only respawn at the places on the map on restart if they are destroyed. Since a lot of people just hide vehicles when they find them, they aren't blown up too often which is why you can't find many at their spawns.

Best way to find vehicles on Public servers is find someone driving one and take it from them :)
