Ip: 208.43.9.85:3306 Or put Prometheus in your Dayz Commander search Filter Have fun Surviving!

I had a question too... What about vehicles? I'm on a private server (I think?) and I managed too find an UAZ, I put a lot of gear in it and hid it somewhere. Is this going to stay the way it is on that server? I already went back but it was night and the lights were turned on and it had no fuel anymore. Getting some fuel won't be difficult but I just hope I won't lose all my gear (except if the vehicle is found of course). Can someone reassure me?

I don't think amphibious vehicles would be common enough to be in the game. The same with submarines, as Dancing Russian Man said. Diving would be nice, and in my opinion, shooting out of vehicles is a must-have. But instead of having a restricted field of movement for the weapon (which is seen in games like bf3), I'd like to be able to aim the weapon out of and into the car, so you could shoot the driver/passengers if you wanted to. There could be an option to partially climb out of the car to get a better field of movement for the weapon (maybe with the risk of falling out?).

I bet you that DayZ will never see diving underwater. What, the player will dive under and look at the pretty Chernarussian sea bass? Maybe find the sunken city of Chernogorsk II. Full of mermaid zombies and treasure. AS50s everywhere. Awww... Yes... And I like the idea of drive bys, but animating it would be funky. And I hate the idea of keys. Ruins the point of hiding your cars. And personally, I don't like hotwiring, because in DayZ, everytime I've found a car it would take dayz to repair. I always have everything to fix it, but need a toolbox, and then I need gas, and then I get shot. Rocket really wants to limit vehicles in DayZ into making them as rare rarer than AS50s, and to make helicopters a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Damn, this was hard. I was able to make my five choices, but here is a list of the 5 things on the survey I would least like to see in the standalone. -Spectator mode (WAY too easy to abuse) -Trading system (No need for this, it would just be artificial and restrictive, when we can already trade things without one) -Flippable Vehicles (Unless it is the bike, or MAYBE the ATV) -Tranquilizer rifle(I'd prefer a different method of knockouts, these would be very dangerous to use against humans in real life) -Elektro power station (Seems way too unlikely, wouldn't that kind of building rely on a huge infrastructure? Not an expert, so correct me if I'm wrong) and an honourable mention to the scopes/binoculars reflections (unless it's VERY subtle, only at the PERFERCT angle, and only with low-end scopes and binocs that don't have anything to act against glare) Also, I would only want to see the armbands if you actually had to find a suitable piece of fabric, and the means to customize it. Everything else, hell yes. EDIT: I forgot to mention, the 'ammo less rare' thing would be cool, but 'guns less powerful'? A makarov already takes 10 shots to kill, there should be quite a few more places that are an instant/quick kill, and many more that are very likely a mortal wound. However, 10 shots to the foot, or something similar, should not kill, unless it is by bleeding out.

My friend and I were heading to Stary Sobor to load up on more ammo and guns. As we cleared the majority of the military tents, began to hear a faint sound of an engine. Instantly, I thought, "Shit." I told him to stop moving to see if heard the sound as well. He couldn't hear anything. The faint engine sound disappeared and then instantly came back, I told my friend to hide as fast as he could. I ran into a bush, next to the tents on the opposite side the city was on. The sound began to get louder and louder. About 30 seconds later, a HUMV comes into sight. I begin to become extremely tense. "What's happening?!", my friend asked puzzled. "I have a visual on the vehicle; it's a HUMV", I said nervously. We began to worry He, might notice someone had been looting 'his tents'. He continuously is going forward and backing up in small portions. I assumed he was trying to see if someone was trying to snipe him. He continued to do this for what seemed like 5 minutes, but he kept moving to different spots. He started to drive down by the two larger military tents. The vehicle came to a halt. I watched as he turned the car off. The armed driver got out and he was less than 20 feet away from me, and he was armed with what looked like some sort of assault rifle. As soon as you he got he moved toward the bush I was in, and then he went back into his HUMV and drove off a bit up the hill and then turned his lights on and continued to use the vehicles light and shine them on the strip of land I was on. I was forced to repeatedly adjust my position due to the bush not being terribly big. Eventually He progressed down the row of tents. I hoped that he wouldn't notice my friend in one of the tents. The HUMV slowly drove through; I became frantic, assuming that he would be checking the tents as he drove by. Luckily he began to speed up and drive down to the end and drove up the hill. He turned the lights toward the area one last time, then disappeared into the night. I thought I might have heard the vehicle possibly turn off. But I ignored it because I didn't see him anymore. "We should be able to resume looting the tents", I said to my friend. We began looting again and not even 30 seconds later, A DMR round is fired. My friend is hit and immediately knocked out in the large tent next to me. (I was in one of the smaller ones) I begin to panic knowing, there is a possibility my friend might not make it. I had to do something. My friend soon awakes from being knocked out and starts bandaging himself. I come to the decision to dart out of the tent I was currently in and sprint into the tent my friend was in. I dashed out and made it into the larger tent safely, no shots were fired at me. I checked if I had a blood bag in my pack. "Thank God", I thought to myself, as I found one inside. I proceeded to give my friend the transfusion. When the transfusion was complete I explained to my friend that we were going to sprint out and run through the city keeping to any blocking the shooters line of sight. A few shots were fired at us, but failed to hit us. We continued to sprint for our lives out of the city into a field and then down a small slope so the sniper would lose any visuals he had on either of us. Even if he did see us, we were past 300m. So I thought it would be harder for him to get the right mil dot and position himself correctly. No other shots were fired. We ran down the slope and into the forest. We had sprinted near 1000m away from Stary. We were safe for the time being. My friend and I were completely puzzled why a kill shot wasn’t fired through the tent. I thought it was possible it was intended to be non-lethal; maybe he just wanted to scare us off. The answer wasn’t available, we were just glad to be alive. We decided to use the forest as our refuge and went to sleep. Please post some comments about the story! Any criticism is appreciated, constructive or opinionated. Thanks for reading. If you would like me to update this story resuming from where we left off just let me know! =D

Fun map, tried for several hours yesterday. Tried to log off but kept finding chopper crash sites and some vehicles worth looking at. I think Blitzer is already working on an update for this too. edit: just looked at the Ovaron link above, 1.5 is out now, gonna give it a try

Nice map, one thing I noticed is on restarts that the contents of vehicles are vanishing. Lost 2 car fulls of goodies already... couldn't find a tent when I needed one. Nice work tho, would be cool to see it on Dayz commander at some point.

There were another vehicles, not a single scratch on them. Would you destroy only one?

I know vehicles respawn if left outside of the map but I thought tents could still be stored out there? I've played a few servers with 'OFB tents will be removed' auto-messages so I'd assume so, unless that was just to let you know they despawn. :S IDK...

...my first thought wasn't ESP. We knew Bicurious Bandit and Social Terrorist were using ESP. And regarding Ice...you have one chopper, you have them all. It won't take long to find other vehicles with a chopper.

This is like trying to explain Quantum Mechanics to a mentally challenged baby gorilla. I'm not saying you cheated. I'm saying you screwed (or cheated) yourself out of your own vehicles because you hid them so badly.

I remember when they added the patch that auto-removed tents and vehicles in debug, do private servers have control over whether or not they despawn?

frankly, i can't believe you're still on this. it was, what, 6 months ago that you hacked after getting upset that we were annoyed you kept losing our vehicles on a public hive and stopped being friendly? seems like a silly waste of everyone's time - but thanks for bumping our thread! those of you reading this unfortunate exchange, i implore you to listen to neither of us. instead, come join our server and make up your own mind what kind of community we are. but i can assure you of one thing: no one has ever been banned for either rading our base, stealing our vehicles or killing us. unless they hacked doing it.

I know off topic but i totally agree - i had to actually scroll through all the servers last night to get into one that wasnt 300+ vehicles, starter weapon, 50,000 blood, zombies do no damage, no friendly fire and free muffins for everyone.

The game won't exactly be 'hackproof', no game is, but the open nature of ArmA 2 is the reason we had such big problems with the mod. Also, IDK about the rest of the community, but I absolutely hate what DayZ has become. 9,001 vehicles on the map and spawning with night-vision goggles defies the point of playing for me and I literally can't find a stock server that isn't on the main hive, lol.

I had combined 2 events into one that made me suspicious. 3 days ago we had many of the choppers that re-spawned (is there even a re-spawn timer on vehicles on US46 or is it whenever the admin wants?) and proceeded to hide them in all different locations across the map. The next morning all 7 had been taken/blown up/de-spawned/etc. The time between our last member logging off and all of our choppers being gone was around 4-6 hours. We thought it was suspicious but we had seen crazier things in our DayZ (har-har). Then this camp was put up and found/destroyed within a very short period after our last members logged off. Maybe it is a time difference or play difference but our suspicions were raised. Anyway, I apologize for the blatant accusation. Suspicion alone is not enough to warrant an accusation.

All in all it looks great and refresing and cant wait to play it.With only the crapy vehicles i think im gona have a lot of good laughs and god knows what more hot details are in store for us.All in all great news and its gona be a blast!! :D

Most admin will remove tents and vehicles stored outside the map these days.

I love the idea of this mod, looks mint I wanna play it now :) The player made vehicles look interesting...

This server looks great! Just a couple of things I wanted to ask; What Is the server Ip? Is this server Whitelisted? Is it a always day server? How many vehicles? Does this server host events? And what is the starting loadout? Sorry I know that you have probably said this all but I couldnt be bothered to skip through the millions of pages :D INGAME NAME: Harvey

Small vehicles only of course, strap that lucky bike of yours to that Gaz you found that will probably need a new tire if you so much as tap a bush. I think an ATV would need 2 people to lift/load. Add towing, loading c130s or other cargo planes and heli lifting (require a loadmaster for cargo and a loadmaster and someone on the ground to connect the cables for the last two to keep/hinder Trolls from just hording every vehicle on either slatski island or out in the middle of nowhere in the edges of the map)

This isn't the first time your hoarded vehicles have been found in very obvious locations. Someone that can locate and hoard several choppers should either know how easy they are to find or be able to hide them a bit better.

Oh noes! Its the 'butthurt player crying admin abuse without proof' In its natural habitat. Shh! dont aggravate him or he will call more abuse :D You made a camp where everyone makes camps .. deal with it Camps will always be found, specially when you have vehicles in them. Its part of the game :)
