For the same reason many servers now have a ridiculous starting loadout, hundreds of vehicles and choppers, 24/7 daylight, or even a modified map with barracks and such near the coast. The first time I played on a sever like that, going from Kamenka to Balota I managed to find more stuff than I could possibly carry. I don't like side chat. I'm yet to be saved from hackers thanks to it and yet I've been accused of hacking for simply killing someone. Go figure.

So I don't want to go alone and I could use a team or a team mate. Well there are specifications so... -Players must be able to cooperate when times are tough and or when we're in heavy fire. -Players does have experience driving vehicles such as Humvee's, motorbikes, and cars in general (If you're a Pilot that'll be even better). -Players must be 14 or above (Will take exceptions if it's like 3 or 2 months away and or you're mature and such). -Players should have Teamspeak and or Skype in order to communicate. -Players that scream when they die will not be tolerated. -Players must be able to make the decision of where to meet up. If you're interested then please do send me a PM. Thank you. If you can follow most of this then we could become a great team. Also if you're in a clan and you need someone then post that too.

We already searched for everything again... I've now heard that i may could some time after a reset/new installment of the server till vehicles spawn. We're gonna wait now some time/restarts :D may sometime hopefully spawns something, otherwise we'll ask our server provider again. Already searched with google for answers, nothing helpful found.. :(

Hello everyone, Since now a few days, there are no more vehicle spawning on our server, the server ist hosted by gamed!de. Our server is connected to the german "My"-Network. The server was running fine, without any problems or errors, but after a daily restart all vehicles/tents are gone. After that we have loaded a backup on our server, vehicles are still gone, the backup was from a day, where everything was just fine. We've asked our provider, he said that our server configuration was a bit buggy, as it seems, they've reinstalled the whole server. But now, a few hours later, there are still no vehicles spawning, no push bikes, nothing :( My question is now, where can we take a look at the server files, to find out if one is faulty or the vehicles just got ported to a bad place from a script kiddie. I've heard that there is somewhere a Mysql Database, where Vehicles are marked as "working" or "crashed/broken" and that there is sometimes a bug, where the server marks everything as working and don't spawn new ones after a Restart / after a time. Current vehicle spawn limit is 55 ( we've pushed it up a bit, after a few "non-spawning" restarts. just to find out if there is something spawning ) we have walked now on almost every vehicle/bike/heli spawns (we have split them up and everyone was searching a direction North, South, West and East ). There has to be something working wrong. I don't know if this is the right section of the Forum for such questions, pretty new to it. If someone need's more information, you can ask me and i'm gonna send it via PM to you. Thank's for help. Would be really nice if someone knows the answer. :)

The endgame will be customisable vehicles and instanced underground bases. But it will be added later on, as it requires to write a fair amount of code from scratch. Crafting has not been really talked about yet but I think we'll see something because it's like one of the feature people most want. I would also like to see some kind of fortification system, but given the sandbox nature of the game it's gonna be tricky to implement : too many objects might cause horrible server lag. Maybe allowing to barricade doors and windows would be a good beginning, as there is a finite number of doors and windows ingame? EDIT : just thought about it, make the planks and other fortification items take a lot of inventory space and weight, and a lot of work to actually get the items (having to cut wood with hatchet, then use the saw on the wood to get the planks, then a hammer and nails and some time to actually barricade your house). All of that might reduce the amount of griefers.

You should fix some vehicles up plenty of air vehicles going around these days... ufo's the works.

The entire point of DayZ is to scavenge for loot and survive. If you have everything in excess, what fun is that? The fun part of DayZ is just making it by surviving be it by yourself or with others. When I first got into DayZ I use to play alone or with one other friend (I started when it first came about). After a month our "pair" grew to four, five, six and up to something around twenty at its peak. It was allot of fun having groups of 10 survivors doing tactical maneuvers around towns to get loot or hunt a player. We had stockpiled more than one of every weapon in the game (with ammo), eight vehicles, tents, meat, clothing...everything. We were all so pleased when we reached this point and we took many screenshots. Eventually we realized that we had achieved "survival" and infact were thriving. Zombies no longer became a threat, other players were but a fart in the wind, food and medical supplies were abundant, map was explored and vehicles had been drivin by all. It no longer became DayZ but rather a game of hunt the guy in balota every single day. The group now consists of about 4 people, and I am liking it allot. Long story short, DayZ is fun with big groups but the survival element goes away rather quickly with a massive group of players all hunting for loots. Its best played either by yourself or with a small group of 1-4 people. (also allot more gratifying when you take out a group of 10 unorganized bandits with only yourself or you and a friend or two)

I would say I have to agree for the most part with these guys. I don't like joining a server where you're hand is held. The real problem you face, is that people are split and you will never please everyone. Some people will never want to play a game like Dayz because in vanilla, its hard. For some its impossible for them to grasp why anyone would want to be challenged. Too many people want their hand held. I wish someone would make their server even harder. No flying vehicles, no thermals, no sniper rifles, no nvg and zombies that don't give a crap that you're hiding in a bush/tree. That would be my ideal place to play. Listening to me though, will instantly turn off 95% of the players of this game but that's my point altogether.

Thanks sir! Indeed we should, treat our vehicles how we would like to be treated!

Hello, i'm here today asking if there is anyone willing to recruit me onto their team/squad. Some information on me: i'm 15, mature, and a decent player at the game. What I think I could do for your team is scavenge for anything our team needs. I'm familiar with most of the maps so I could find friends/vehicles. The only problem I have is fighting people, and I was wondering if somehow I could practice that with the team or get some tips mybe. I am normally online in the afternoon on weekdays because of school, but on weekends all day and night. I do have teamspeak and skype. I also have steam which my name llllSCARllll, and also Xbox Live which my name is AverageGamer262. I only speak English, currently taking Spanish in high school though. And, I think thats all... Thanks for reading this and have a nice day. Bye,

Hey guys my new server is up and running Server restarts 12pm gmt+0 everyday vehicles and inventorys save Private Hive DE 379 or search for UberTuberHD

I've played with up to eight people, all using voice coms, it gets confusing in panic situations. I much prefer playing with two or three. Three team mates is a good idea, you can organise fixing up vehicles and travell across country in relative security. Yes 3 is good, it's official.

+1 Excellent, we should treat our vehicles like ourselves and help them stay alive! >:3

Hi, I can see people a lot of people asking for clans, and a lot of clans recruiting. I know a lot of them consider it's more fun playing with a lot of people, because they have vehicles, and all the stuff they want. In my opinion, that's a mistake. As a hero, I've encountered people who were in a clan throughout my adventures. What I have to say is most of them seemed to be almost bored, the last one was considering(And his clan was also) starting to play WarZ. When I asked him how longer had played Dayz he said that for a month more or less. He had had everything, he picked me up in a truck and gave me weapons and stuff. The problem: He hadn't almost experienced being a newbie, discovering things for yourself, being fascinated and afraid from a helli, being happy for finding your first military grade weapon, finding the red car, repair it, carefully hide it... What I call the "Being a noobsy magic". it's just my opinion. I've been playing for months, and I'm still not bored. After three months being playing a friend of mine started playing with me, and after three months we discovered our first repairable helicopter(The Little bird) I think the reason why people get bored of this game is because they discover everything very fast, and this is usually due to clans. Being in a big clan breaks what Dayz is meant to be: -Where is the feeling of Dieing if your clan is gonna pick you up and you are going to recover all your equipment? -Where is the feeling of survival if a member of your clan can give you a blood bag at anytime in 10 seconds, even in combat? Of course, being in a clan will probably reward you somehow, but it doesn't compensate. I repeat again, just my opinion. I know there's going to come people saying I'm in a clan and I blah blah blah... Yeah, I know. I only speak for the people I have met.

I personally hate servers with more than 100. I'm playing on one right now that about 100 or just over, and it still feels too much. I killed some near NEAF, found a heli and flew around to a crashsite or 2, came back to NEAF and he was there with a black SUV. I've found a few servers in the past that make fun of the servers with 300+ vehicles though, with names like "14000000 vehicles". It's a common thing done by servers in order to raise the money to keep hosting. On one hand it's good to see they are atleast giving people back something for donating, but on the other, it's a disadvantage to everyone that doesn't buy it, which ruins the game. Not to mention starting with gear would make the game extremely boring, wouldn't it? I love gearing up 10x more than actually having gear already.

US (v1.7.4.4) [Regular|3DP:ON|CH:ON][uTC-8]-100+Vehicles. Got a random ban under normal play. Was playing under the name Joshua. No way of contacting admins.

Side chat ruins the immersion, and DayZ is designed to be immersive. I hate it for the same reason I hate "1,000,000,000+ vehicles!!!!! More heli crashes!!!! 24/7 daylight!!!" I've found it extremely difficult to find any private hives that stick to original DayZ settings. The private hives are all becoming care bear servers and it's attracting all the rug rats that make CoD so terrible to play. All the vehicles, daylight, and the enabling of side chat take away the intensity of the game. I want my DayZ back. I tried going back to public but I literally get hacked within 10 minutes of joining every time. Looks as though the only option is to wait for SA.

Come on in guys, AU 7777 - Caspers Server. Active admins, Max Vehicles. Freindly admins who do not tolerate hackers. Looking to form some friends and get some bases going. Skype : Shinraaaa

So cars and vehicles being phase 2, are they going to be in the Release? Just wondering.

This server is absolute beast. I love the amount of weapons/crashes/vehicles, I have not come across unfriendly players yet. However, server is down atm guys :(

Eh, it's just another server run by corrupt admins who enforce nonsensical "rules", except this time it has a money making scheme slapped on it. Good thing I avoid these types of servers (usually I can spot them by the "900+ VEHICLES¦CUSTOM LOADOUT" names).

Nah, they made it to where public servers can have side chat again... As for people making threads in regards to any type of suspected abuse, go look into the official location for these threads, where you will find hundreds of complaints just like yours. The Mod is in its final stages, NONE of the complaints you have will be addresses no matter how well they are formatted. Honesty, tough shit, I find cars and vehicles every night, as I fly around hunting tents/Vehicles. Don't get attached to anything you have.... Damn why am I even typing this shit

Not entirely true. I have managed to add an Apache to my private hive server and other players can see it. (NO RMOD) However I tried to add a Chinook and an MV22 and although I could see them, no other players could not. Here's what I did: 1. Open your Serversettings.cfg and set "verifySignatures" to 0. 2. Download PBO View: http://www.armaholic...age.php?id=1434 3. Run PBO View. Hit CTRL + O or click Open and navigate to your ArmA2OA directory. Open the folder correlating to your current DayZ map (eg @dayz for Chernarus, @DayZLingor etc). Select "dayz_anim.pbo". 4. You should now see dog (folder), zmb (folder), config.cpp and speeds.txt. 5. Press CTRL + A or click Extract all and create a temporary folder anywhere (eg desktop). 6. Navigate to your temporary folder and edit "config.cpp" with your favourite text editing program (Notepad++ works great). 7. Press CTRL + F and search for the CLASS NAME of your desired vehicle. Classnames can be found here: http://www.armatechs...5165f/index.php 8. Your desired vehicle should be in a line such as this: "class Mi17_CDF: Banned {};". 9. Comment the line by typing // before the line, eg "//class Mi17_CDF: Banned {};". It is recommended you don't delete the line in case you want to revert it later. 10. Now close config.cpp and in PBO View click pack and navigate to your temporary folder. Select this folder to pack and a new "pbo" file will be created in the same location as your temporary folder. 11. Rename your old "dayz_anim.pbo" file to "dayz_anim_old.pbo" or something similar before copying your new .pbo into the @whatever folder. 12. Now that you have unbanned your vehicle you now have to add it to the database. For this you will need a tool such as MySQL Workbench or Navicat. 13. Connect to your database via your preferred tool. 14. Edit the "object_data" table. 15. Scroll to the bottom and create a new row. 16. In the first field (object ID) type the next number in the list (eg if the previous was 15, type 16). 17. In object UID type any random sequence of numbers. 18. Under "instance" put the same instance value as the other objects. 19. For classname copy in the "codename" you found before, eg "Mi17_CDF". 20. Under damage, input how much damage you would like the vehicle to have sustained (0 = no damage, 1 = destroyed) 21. Enter "0" for character ID. 22. Worldspace is the coordinates you want your vehicle to be created at. There are multiple ways to do this. You can either move your character to the location and find his Worldspace coordinates in the character_data table, or you can create a tent at the location and find its Worldspace in object_data. Then simply copy this Worldspace into your new vehicle object. 23. For inventory type [] to indicate the vehicle is empty. 24. For hitpoints enter []. 25. Enter a value for fuel (0 = empty, 1 = fuel) 26. Under datestamp just enter the date and time (closest you can get) to now. Follow the structure of the dates above in object_data. 27. Restart your server and your vehicle should be at the desired location! *Note to repair your vehicle you may have to re-edit the database as it can't be repaired like normal vehicles. Hope it works for you, let me know if you need any help.
