The fact that admins actually have the power to spawn in weapons, vehicles and equipment, as well as know where everyone on the map is should be a little alarming. If this happens in the standalone there is absolutely no point playing it because if an admin can know where your camp is located spawn in every weapon then that completely ruins the entire concept of DayZ.

Spawn more vehicles.

Hey guys wanted to let you know we have two servers up that may entice you fools. ***ORIGINAL REDDIT POST*** http://www.reddit.co..._server_update/ FEATURES: ACRE Radio Support, JSRS, NPC and AI, Custom Bases, 400+ Vehicles, Custom Weapons. Needless to say, You will not find a server with this much intensity and modification. ****Our Server is locked by @ACRE. This means YOU MUST BE ON TEAMSPEAK! There are about 14 mods being run right now they are: @CBA_OA;@CBA;@CBA_A2;@JayArma2Lib;@ACRE;@DayZ;@stmovement;@st_acre_volume;@rMod;@JSRS;@sthud;@st_bunnyhop;@DayZ_Factions You can download these mods using SIX UPDATER: http://cdn.withsix.c...su/su-setup.exe DO NOT USE SIX LAUNCHER!

Yay! Please search 24/7 Drifting in dayz commander or set search filter to this in game search. It is a wonderful community but you need to get whitelisted. It is quick and easy just email GUID and in game name to [email protected] Everyone there is really nice. It's lowly populated on weekdays but gets up to 15 or 20 players on weekends. There's 250 vehicles... Anyway, it's Chernarus map. I hope to see you there!!!

Another piece of advice is to not cluster your stuff all together. Whenever I find a vehicle hidden in the woods that I think is part of someone's stash, I always search the immediate area, and I'll often also find a tent or two and maybe another vehicle nearby. For my own camp, I always have two or three tents and two or three vehicles, with at least several hundred meters between each object. Also, once you've got multiple vehicles and tents, don't segregate your gear. For example, DON'T put all your weapons and ammo in one tent, and all your food in another, and all your car parts in a third. Instead, say you've got two tents and two vehicles. First off, you need to figure out what stuff you're going to be putting on your character for when you log out. That should be your most important stuff. Next you want to sort your remaining stuff into four equal piles, one for each tent and vehicle. Each pile should have at least one good primary and secondary weapon in it and the associated ammo. Each pile should also have some food and medical supplies in it, as well as an assortment of the essential tools and a few car parts. Try to put an upgraded backpack in each pile, too. The goal should be that even if three of your four stashes are found, you'd still have at least one complete load out ready for you in case you need to recover from a death in a hurry.

That's a BS argument. There are already a bunch of options in the game that servers can enable to make things easier for players, such as crosshairs and tagnames, but guess what, tons of servers CHOOSE to disable those options and have no trouble attracting players. Servers also have the option of putting in way more vehicles than normal, or giving players all kinds of extra starting loot, and while some servers choose to do that, there's still tons that choose not to, and again they have no trouble attracting players. The claim that the FPS-only crowd somehow knows what's better for the game and that everyone else will simply select the easiest, most cheesy options unless those options are removed simply isn't borne out by the facts. On top of that, the fact that servers that disable 3rd person have such a hard time attracting players, coupled with the fact that the playerbase has clearly demonstrated the ability to selectively weigh the gameplay value of different options, is pretty strong evidence that restricting the game to first person only would negatively impact the enjoyment of the gameplay for a huge segment of the playerbase... and in the end, enjoyment of the gameplay is the ONLY thing that matters. Realism and immersion only matter insofar as they further a player's satisfaction with the overall gameplay, because that's the only reason anyone actually plays DayZ. Anyone who's logged into DayZ has made the conscious, or sub-conscious decision that at that moment in time, playing DayZ is more enjoyable to them then watching TV, or taking a nap, or firing up their XBox. That doesn't mean that things shouldn't be hard, because humans derive a lot of enjoyment out of overcoming challenges, and that doesn't mean things shouldn't be immersive, because humans derive a lot of enjoyment out of virtual escapism, but ultimately, both of those things are only components of the overall gameplay experience, and should never take sole priority.

Will there be vehicles on the initial release or will they come later on ?

Thanks for the bug report! But PLEASE join these guys' forums! The Dev team is small and SWAMPED! Had we seen this on their bug reporting thread we would have looked at it before packaging .2 for them. HOWEVER... EVERYONE PLEASE NOTE... 0.1 was THROWN together by a 3 man team and based on a pretty bad/buggy source dayz code.... 0.2 IS based on 1.7.5 (.6 really because we've already integrated the noted changes for the next update)... this has ALL the new mechanics added to Chernarus in 1.7.5.1... PLUS Our beginnings of camp building mechanic including 3 Crafting Books! Carepackages NEW ADDITIONAL UNBANNED GUNS NEW ADDITIONAL UNBANNED VEHICLES RHIB Anyone? 2 BAF Offroad styles 2 Little bird types (2 seat and 6 seat (armed in the works) 2 HMMWV Types (Armed on the way) Skar? M8??? SVD? M40A3??? TONS MORE??? Oh Yeah!

You can use this website to check for the vehicle spawns: http://dayzdb.com/map It's a great tool to use if you're just starting out. You can also check to see what buildings spawn what types of loot, find gas stations, and etc. Be aware, that some of the spawns may not be the same on the map if you are playing on a private hive due to admins adding in or taking out vehicles to the map.

Due to recent Bliss/DayZ updates, there was an issue with tents, it's now been fixed by the host and yes the vehicles are appearing again. I've double checked the tents are not duping anymore, if you find any bugs, please report it ASAP on the forums. We've also spiced up Kamenka, there is an apartment complex, general store and hospital you can loot. We're going to add a ton more mapping in the next few days, stay tuned and recruit!

The best private server I've played on! Been here about 2 weeks. Signing up is fast and easy and the community is friendly. Bandits and Heroes alike, plenty of firefights, enough vehicles to keep things interesting, and almost nightly events that keep things pretty spicy and fun. The admin is very active from the console end: he does not play other than special events so there is no need to worry about admin power-tripping. Cheaters are found out and dealt with promptly. Great place to play, best DayZ experience I've had! I speak for a friend of mine as well.

is there going to be a large crafting system in SA, where players can harvest materials from vehicles and lootspawns and use tools to combine these to weapons and survival utilities?

Don't know if already asked but "Will there be a leveling system in SA ? i.e mechanic level, increasing chance of repairing vehicles or times to repair it" (sorry for my poor english)

There is this great server for noobs or anybody actually. It is a Chernarus 1.7.6 map with tons of vehicles and helicopters. It is always daylight and has a lower population. It also has an active admin on daily which u can also email for questions. this is why it is perfect for beginners or anybody looking to have a good time. The name is Day of the Dead and the I.P. address is 198.105.220.164 port :3136 CHECK IT OUT!!!

You mean the de-compiling/compiling trick with the .pbo files? We did that before (which worked), but it had some nasty habits. Im VERY glad we got it all sorted legitemately now.. vehicles spawning where they should and staying on the location where they were left :) :) Happycampers :D

Fear Engine - Dallas - Whitelist - 3rd person - Active Mods - Always Daytime - 100 Vehicles We are a brand new private hive whitelisted server with very active mods on at all times. We need some new people to fill our server up! It is dallas based and you can find all the information you need at - http://www.fearengine.net Feel free to drop on by in the forums, or say hi in the webchat! See you in game!

Played feb 12 at 12:30am and killer joe was doing a bunch of hacks in one of the us server then feb 13 at around 1:00 pm in server us 2254 he followed me and my brother and continued his cheating. Teleporting/ vehicles and weapons. He even teleported us so the wizard monitor would show we teleported. I recorded some of it and put it on YouTube. 2 seperate days and 2 separate servers and killer joe is the only one in both

Zombies do a random amount of damage to vehicles max possible valve 0.08 damage per zed 10 shots give or take to smash any glass. Zombies do not only hit windows on every hit its only a chance they hit glass. Crash sites - We have had no reports of any crash site issues from any of the top 10 servers running DayZ nor have we had any issues from our own servers. Zombies hitting players has always been random and will remain random. There is always a chance they can strike you down. Granted the magic hit they do isn't the best but again this has always been here if your within 3 meters of the zed no matter what the zed is doing you get hit. (See Patch notes). Private hives are welcome to run DayZ. We have always worked with the private hive community's until recently where Ayan (Bliss) stepped down to work on his own mod. The only other major privates hives we know about is reality (New Based on bliss) and vilayer (Company version). The issue with loot is being looked into. Thanks

- Server Restarted - Added 4 vehicles

incendiary rounds are used for vehicles still i know this is wikipedia, but there are references, and i have still got no complaint about my sources. so.... yeah.

yeah, eagle eye zombies that spot you from 200m away and knock you out in 2 hits, and if you try to run they'll run faster than you and break your legs on 2 hits. These people bragging that they arent much of a problem probably were full geared up before the patch, with shittons of ammunition and use all the 'cheats' to avoid zombies, like hiding in trees or combat logging. But try to play solo fresh spawn and you'll see our point. Now we cant run from them, we cant kill them without being swarmed, and we cant hide from them (without using glitches), there's no point playing this thing. If the game will keep going this way, soon it will become unplayable and the only servers that people will play in are that [9000 vehicles, start with mk48, NVG and RF, less zombies, always day, more buildings and herp derp] OH WAIT, that sounds familliar? yeaah, that's already happening.

You drove your vehicles along the coast near black lake. I was running along searching for camps to loot and heard a vehicle. I followed the truck and then watched it drive around the end of the river and into debug land. I had been in debug land a few days back and saw that huge camp near where you killed me so I figured it may have been yours. I was swimming across the river and saw your other vehicle so I then knew it was a clan. I ran to the camp where one of you spotted me and shot at me when I was looking through my binoculars at you. I then tried to flank around and kill you but you soon spotted me and shot at me so I retreated by in doing so, got shot by one of your men that had an M249.

The link I gave you should help you. Legit server, as in regular amount of vehicles and normal daytime/nighttime cycle. Plus, 3P and crosshairs are off. And it's fairly active as far as I know.

I generally play alone, and don't use the teamspeak server of the server I play on. If I play with friends, I would be fine with a decent radio system, and if something can be done to prevent third party chat, I'm all for it. The problem is, people won't play at a disadvantage when other people don't. I'm just saying, one 'problem' can be changed, one can't. Furthermore, I think the reason there are so few FPV servers around is because there is an option for third person. Just look at how widespread the 'Start with gun + 500 vehicles' servers have become with. I would be fine with people having third person as long as you can't see things you shouldn't be able to, but if that were the case I think way less people would bother to use it anyways.

Id say the problem is too many people dont want to play a game where you have to survive; they would rather play a game where you start out with half the tools already and a good weapon in a server with over 300 vehicles. allowing third person and side chat ruin the immersion in the game, and the abundance of unfitting guns (dmr,as50,m14,m107,mk48) also fuck it over. the zombies are currently complete shit, but they will be hopefully fixed for standalone. the character animations are also really bad along with the inventory system and loot spawning system. i really hope that in standalone the surviving aspect gets to the point where its nearly impossible to live, and only the best players will become well geared
