Just think of where people will naturally travel going from place to place, then rule out the obvious spots for camps where tent hunters will look, such as the edge of the map. Then from there see what's left that suits your needs and scope it out. Green Mountain used to be a good one since nothing good ever spawned there, zombies spawned like crazy (still do) and there used to be a myth of a ghost haunting the place. So no one used to go there and you could camp out without a worry, but now there's 2-3 vehicles spawns there and people have figured out it isn't cursed, so long as you don't drink a mountain dew there anyways...

If I remember correctly, a tent with no owner, meaning the character that placed it died (like in your case) it will dissapper after 7 days of no interaction. As soon as you move some gear in or out of it, that timer resets. Vehicles is something similar, but there's no "owner" it will just dissappear and respawn if no one uses it for awhile.

How's the customization of vehicles and bases compared to Origins? Can you build your own village as in Origins, if not, what is there instead? Thanks!

Crap I forgot about those triangles, but they are color coded the same as the vehicles.

He is correct on colors, and adding to it, triangles are air vehicles, and squares are land vehicles.

My clan-mate Tom decided he was going to do some tricks and while I bailed sensing an impending crash, it seems I actually caused the crash... Poor Tom, while sad, it was pretty funny... Note to self, if you eject from a moving Littlebird, you kill it... and most likely the pilot... this doesnt happen with other vehicles does it?

Orange means unidentified, but it is another play in the vehicle. Red means Identified as a non US vehicle, again occupied. Green is just a US vehicle, again has someone in it. Grey I'm pretty sure means unoccupied vehicles, but it also might mean buildings. These are just off the top of my head but i'm pretty sure this is what they mean. Could be wrong though.

Hello DayZ Community! --Please read this before calling me stupid names-- I've been playing DayZ mod for several months together with some freinds and i love the game! I will be as honest as i can, we had played on the same server for months, we were freinds with everybody and we were freinds with everybody on the server. We even got two new buddies who i still talk and play other games with. But no matter how pathetic this sounds, i hacked/scripted.. Normally we could easily handle getting killed, even by hackers and we had our base looted a couple of time and stuff like that, thats a normal aspect of the game. (Well, not the hacker part) But this hacker logged on to the server and killed everybody, destroyed our bases and alll our vehicles. We were all pissed. While being pissed, one of my freinds came up with an idea, there had been loads of hackers on the server and we had never seen one getting banned, so why shouldn't we just go hack our stuff back. It ended up with me doing it, i got our stuff back and played the rest of the day like any other day i was playing DayZ. But the next day, when i logged into the server, i saw that i was global banned. I could no longer play dayz beacuse i had to be a cheater for a night. I know that hacking/scripting should ALWAYS have consequenses, and i'm glad they have, but now i wanna play DayZ again. I know, whatever you did, if its cheating it's the same (by the book atleast). Now after reading this, you have all rights to calling me all those names that you guys usually call people that have done what i did. Beacuse we do deserve it :/ But i have learned my lesson and i would never do anything like that again in DayZ, thats why i'll pay to be able to play again. Lastly, i think everybody have once done something they shouldn't have done and that they regret doing, even you.. --My Question-- I bought my original copy of Arma 2: combined operations (Arma 2 + Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead) on steam. That cd-key got banned (read above). If i want to play the game again, do i have to make a new steam account and buy the game again? And i'm always online on my original steam account and i wouldn't like having to change steam account everytime i wan't to play DayZ. I can't buy the game in handheld version and i would prefer buying it on steam, even if i have to pay a little more. I would like as clear instructions as possible, even tho how pathetic this is. - William, a DayZ player who had to cheat for a night.

Well, you can take a screenshot and leave a comment on our website at http://brainsofbritain.co.uk or you can give me a poke on teamspeak :) edit/ Or you can post here, and i'll check the logs :) Bandit/Infiltrator loadout is a perm loadout even after death (allows you to focus on banditry, rather than gathering) - not to overpowered, of course. Currently we have custom clan bases set up, people are hoarding vehicles, weapons, and even a heli, sitting ducks!

Welcome to the UK207 information page. Here you find all the details about the server my poor hands can type. So let's begin. There are two current active admins on the server, the number of admins will increase according to the amount of active players. The admins are usually equipped with soldier clothing so you know they are an admin. These admins will/are doing all they can to stop any script kiddies or cheaters of any kind. Restarts occur at 6:00, 12:00, 18:00 and 0:00 in game time. I'm currently adding many structures (like a store in Kamenka and barracks at NE airstrip) and such but am suffering a large lack of players. I may also consider getting a whitelist along with a website of sorts if I get enough active players depending on what they consider appropriate. Although it does say it is the DayZ server of the JTF207 does not mean the small amount of JTF207 members that play DayZ will all be in a group so do not fear of spawning and being spawn killed by a large group of bandits. These JTF207 players will have no more benefits than any other player on the server. Player versus player combat is supported on this server but combat logging WILL NOT be tolerated. When playing on the server there are a few rules you must follow. If you want to know more about the JTF207 ArmA group please visit the Enjin site here : http://jtf207.enjin.com/home or check out the Bohemia Interactive forum post here : http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?143371-Joint-Task-Force-207-*Recruiting* Rules - No cheating of any kind on the server. The punishment is a permanent ban. - No abusive language towards any other player on the server. The punishment for this is a swift kick or a possible ban. - No combat logging. The punishment for this is a permanent ban if there is proof. Admins - Hefty - Jambird Features - Heli Crashes - Veteran Difficulty (May change) - 3rd person enabled - No crosshairs - No tracers - Hosted in UK - Active Admins with Rcon open almost all the time. - DayZ Chernarus - 50 Slots - Teamspeak : 82.2.143.248 Password : superhive - Regular Restarts - Many Vehicles (including aircraft) - Clever AI Patrols at high tier loot locations. - Auto Refueling scripts - Custom Buildings - Will have custom starting loadout - Some custom vehicle spawns Here's the IP with the port : 82.2.143.248:2370 If you suspect someone of cheating please inform an admin and they will do a quick check of that player's inventory to make sure there is no hacked/scripted in items. !WARNING! The AI Patrols on this server are extremely deadly. Combat with these AI often results in the players death. Make sure to be careful and scout out the airstrips and military bases before you enter them. They patrol within 1000m of the area they have been placed in. Thanks for reading and I hope you have fun on my server :)

Okay, I'm answering both questions here. I don't know why I was banned. Whenever I try to join the server, it says: You were kicked off the game. (BattlEye: Admin Ban). The server's name is as follows: DayZChernarus - 1.7.6.1 -veteran 650+ vehicles ;) Additional military buildings, crashedheli spawns | custom loadout , hosted by spryzcarn- Provided by Vilayer.com. Just type Spryzcarn into the server filter and it should be the only one that shows up.

PLAYERS AHOY! We've been hosting a vanilla DayZ server since October and after the Arma 3 Alpha launch and the postponed Standalone we hit a draught in playercount. Usually we peaked 30-40 players in the evening, but lately it have been slow. We're a great server with a good service. Wonderful community, nice atmosphere and smooth gameplay. We'd like to keep running the server until the Standalone, and then migrate to be a Standalone private hive or likely. But for that we need players! Please visit us, give it a go! There's 60 vehicles, newest ones added are the HMMWV, Littlebird (6 seater), Mi17, Military Motorcross, Biplane and Lada Militia. We've got database backups to be able to rollback when things get screwed (from massive hack-attacks or server screw-ups) A Whitelist to keep the script kiddies out. Dedicated and honest admins. Mumble servers. Visit our forum to get whitelisted and join right away! http://rpz-hive.tk Find us on GameTracker

Hey, I'm a basic survivor looking around to join a group of survivors. I'm 14. I know my way around looting and will often find some decent salvage for the group. I never miss a building and will focus on priorities like food, drinks, guns, ammo and medicine. I can also drive most vehicles apart from Buses and Urals (Difficult to maneuver around debris). I also know how to pilot helicopters so I hope I can be a helpful addition to the group! Skype: ChildOfPropane Steam: ChildOfPropane In-game name: EL3KTR0

There should be lots of non-operational (but fixable) vehicles all over the place. Most of the vehicles damaged from crashes, and parts removed to fix other vehicles before people moved on from the area. This would mean plenty of non-operational vehicles, until you either found or harvested the parts from other vehicles. You could even seperate the parts by manufactuter. Meaning that you cant just grab any part and shove it in any vehicle. Basically, imagine a tonne of vehicles. Lets say 500 cars. But there is only enough parts between them to fix about 100 of them. Eventually you would you end up with a tonne of vehicles lying around that need a lot of work to make operational, or act as scrapheaps for people to salvage to maintain the vehicles that currently do work. Least thats the way I'd do it.

dean hall was already informated about this idea, which was exactly this: "more vehicles,less fuel" and I think its a great idea, that also makes sense+it would still balance the cars and so: You would have a car, but you would have to decide where you want to go, and if you got enough fuel to get back, and so. awesome in my opinion

Horrible idea, if you aren't finding enough vehicles, go to a private hive. Vehicles were never meant to be plentiful and all over the streets, they were supposed to be a rare find or something to look forward to in Day Z. The main problem is in my opinion, when they spawn people get them and horde them in their bases on the outskirts of the maps.

Was recently banned for no reason other than an itchy finger on the ban-hammer. I believe it was a main hive server as well (at least they said it was). Too lazy to tell the story again, so I'll quote what I wrote on the clans forums; my ingame name is Zeurxise. "Hello admins. Just a few minutes ago (approx. 10:00 PM PST) I was running around up in the north of the map, looking for tents/vehicles, like ya do. I was running straight north when I got a nameplate for Selei, ~1400m north of me. The nameplate quickly disappeared. I thought maybe he logged. Shortly after that, I get his nameplate behind me, at ~350m. At this time, I thought "he's an admin, he can teleport around as he wants, it's whatever." I continue moving north, looking all around for nameplates as I go. maybe a minute later, his nameplate is north west of me at ~250m. At this time I figure, well I have two gps, and three nvgs, m4a1 cco sd, and an svd camo. I don't want to lose all of that because I ignored obvious dangers. So I turn around, and start heading south to leave the area. This goes fine for maybe a minute. And then I get his nameplate AGAIN, directly in front of me. It becomes clear to me that he is trying to cut me off, I don't know the reason, maybe I was near his camp or something. However, I call him on it. I say (in side chat) "My nametags are telling me strange things >.>" And then "It must be nice to tp from ~1400m from me, to ~250m from me instantly." A few seconds after that, I am perma-banned for esp by Selei! I am not a hacker, I am a careful observant player. He had no proof that I was hacking, and banned me because I knew he was teleporting around me repeatedly. I didn't even mention his name when I talked in side chat. I feel that this is undeserved, and would like to be unbanned. I enjoy playing on your server and conversing with your staff. I hope this can be worked out, ~Zeurxise" That's it, clan site can be found here: http://www.adrenaline-gaming.net/ I actually found a server with a community that I enjoy talking with, then one guy has to go and well... Ban me lol, maybe this can be resolved.

Yes, camo clothing, ghillie suit and all BAF vehicles + weapons will look better with the higher res textures. I bought the BAF addon for £3 when it was on sale a month ago because I was sick of my crappy textured camo clothing.

I know many people are coming over to Dayz from console gaming and it is not easy to get used to keyboard and mouse at first. So for those that like their controllers... http://killzonekid.com/how-to-make-dualshock-3-controller-work-on-pc/ http://killzonekid.com/dualshock-3-controller-binding-for-arma-2-dayz/ Also great for vehicles.

In my opinion there needs to be less fuel instead of less vehicles because in a real life situation getting fuel is probably harder to get than vehicles.

vehicles stuff depend on server , found 4 helis 5 cars 3 trucks on NWAF ? just on 1 server and 1st visit , anyway also think that normal mode is poor : a family with 2 cars just evacuate using 1 to maximize fuel , but if I found 2 cars on dayz I can hide 1 outside of map and use 2nd ( another discussion )

It all began at 11:25 AM Eastern Time. I was driving my Military Offroad on a server that a friend had started on, when I come across a guy running across the street, I pick him up (like the nice guy I am,) He didn't sound that old, so I blew it off thinking it was just another kid. I drove around a bit more till I stopped to look at a bus. As soon as I got out of the Offroad, I noticed something very weird, whenever I looked at him I got a sort of "aimbot" that made me aim at his head whenever I got even close to aiming at him. I confronted him about it and he mumbled about it (I later found out that it was him telling me that HE was the hacker). I messaged everyone in side chat asking if anyone was having the same issue, and soon after I got a message that popped up in the center of my screen saying "shut up n***** " . He asked me if I got it, I said 'no' to be sure that he was the hacker. He then announced (again) that he was the hacker. After I heard this I shot him multiple times with the CZ that I had acquired on my short journey, but it had no effect on him. I jumped into my Offroad and tried to drive off, but was soon bombarded by minigun fire around ground level from his direction. After my death, I announced to the server that he was a hacker and listed off those reasons, and I got a quick reply from ZerteC saying that if I didn't shut up that he would "shut my key" I have no video, nor pictures of this happening Server: DayZChernarus - [500+ Vehicles 20+ Helicopter/Planes][Auto Refuel][increased Barracks][Donator Perks][24/7 Day Server][increased Starting Loadout][RECRUIT] Even if you can't stop this script kiddie. I still think it's a funny story to go in the books.

We have also encountered the refueling bug on a few of our cars. Mainly the Military Offroad Jeeps. It seems as if they still get full with gas because I can run one empty and then put a can in it and start it back up. Keep in mind some of these cars can take ALOT of gas. I think the Military Jeeps take 50 jerry cans to fill it all the way from empty? The repairing I am not sure about. I have not encountered that on any of our cars or trucks yet. That being said, we did have all 3 of our cars vanish over the last 48 hours. The strange thing is the server still lists them as valid vehicles. So I will be doing a repair/refuel to ALL vehicles tonight to attempt to fix all of these issues. Let me know if it works for you. -Drunkpunk

When I first played the game like in July 2012, it was awesome that you can play on 1 server, disconnect, join another server 2 days later and start with what you had found earlier at the point of disconnection. You walk for hours, searching every treeline for the sign of a tent or a car. Today, you play on 1 server, disconnect, join another server, start again from Kamenka, just that you got spawned in with a GPS, Lee Enfield (or even DMR occasionally). Today, you connect to servers that advertise themselves with 900+ vehicles, 25+ helicopters and you don't bother to check out vehicles anymore since you chose the best one that you found in Chernogorsk available, all green, fully filled. You die and it doesn't bother you much anymore. Also, today, it's not just one server that has BMP's, Bradleys or even Apache helicopters with 24 rockets running. Today, this is not DayZ like it initially was supposed to be. Today, we are actually playing 25% DayZ and 75% Arma 2. Just with zombies.
