This would be a far more appropriate use of the crowbar. To scavenge (usable!) parts from vehicles you need a bunch of tools. Usually when I resort to the crowbar while working on cars I break something =P I love the premise of the idea; scavenge parts from other vehicles to fix up another one. I just think you should use a tool kit instead of a crowbar.

It is great so see more and more people joining this server. It is a very easy going server and then if you want to have some fun just turns fast paced out of no where. Love all the vehicles and the area they operate is advertised making it easy to avoid or to try out my luck. Thanks for the fun time this has been so far cant wait to get back on now.

good plan, I always leave one or two less well hidden decoy tents near enough to my well hidden tents to grab passers by attention but in a spot that takes them away from the real booty, also leave some half decent stuff in them so they feel satisfied and move on, hopefully missing the real prize. I also park vehicles i've used to get back to camp right in front of my main tents (back end out), it completely hides the tents from view and players just take the vehicle happy with their spot of good fortune. Diverting attention is everything, good luck and have fun

LOTS OF VEHICLES OMG!! These guys have it right here! Highly recommend!

Easy way? Log in, see if you still have your character. That said, I vastly prefer private hives. Aside from the lessened presence of hackers and the like, private hives eliminate server hopping and greatly reduce combat logging as well. As an added benefit, most generate an actual 'community', as in you'll see someone you may have met before and know you can trust/know they've murdered someone else, and so on. Just some things to think on, I find private hives to be much more of an 'oldschool' DayZ experience than regular hive ever could hope to be now, but I've been playing since May so that's the experience I'm trying to recapture. Edit: Most private hives I've played on have had essentially the standard ruleset. There are of course some with sidechat enabled, some with tons more vehicles than normal, and other things... but most of those indicate as such in the name.

Mhm... Thanks guys, I appreciate it. The server is a Private Hive, US 1011, it's a really nice server, vehicles everywhere, no lag and custom bases. I'll make a huge base, with empty vehicles and then I'll hide some tends or vehicles with weapons and another items, around it, but VERY hidden. Thanks a lot.

DayZ Clan V. Clan Battles, Open server on a Private Hive, We want another clan to fight in DayZ. We will give the other clan vehicles and weapons. I will stop the server and spawn the items at the location of witch the other clan wants them. 30 minute cease-fire once vehicles spawned. Clan Battle Application: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dDlvUGlPeDNnRVlnTElNWGdtOW9UVGc6MQ#gid=0

We scaled back the vehicles spawns a bit.

Respawn times of vehicles have been shortened for public hive. This should solve a lot of the destroyed vehicles issues etc. As for hacking, we're always improving stuff.

I guess my favorite would be Lingor Island, it has a good balance. If Chernarus had more vehicles it'd be the best. Maps I dont typically like to play though Utes, Takistan, Zargabad.

Hey guys, I'm a 23yo UK gamer with a headset and TS3 server looking for some English speaking mature buddies to play DayZ (pref Namelsk) with. I'm by no means new to the game, but have always played solo so it's been difficult for me to try and build vehicles etc. I'm wanting to experience collaborative teamplaying. I work shifts and have my g/f round most of the time, but this means I'm usually available during the day as well as evenings depending on when it is. Send me a message if I can join you =]

Hello friends, I have an issue in my server - US 171 - Sunday, a hacker enter in the server, killed everyone who was online and made all the vehicles in the game disappear. So, I'm receiving a lot of e-mails of some players who actually play in my server, asking me to do something to solve this problem. Here is my question. There's a way to reset all the server, making a real cleaning and let it as a new server? (reseting all vehicles and tents and all this stuff?) Thanks for the help, Thales

yeah basically, when you exit then re enter a vehicle, it auto repairs allowing them to have invulnrable vehicles which led to them have so much mobility to catch up and kill us

lol. way to go using a great quote totally out of context in a discussion about a game. :D the original is not about freedom of choice. good job hobby demagog. ;) why would anyone think that the humanity system changed anyone's PvP behaviour. it's in my opinion the most gamey part of dayz and just a value people look at who need something to work on. because deep inside they need somekind of moral justification for what they do (especially so called "bandits"). "no no i'm not a scumbag i'm a bandit, it's my job, i live by a code, bla bla bla...". or just look at the outcry when people thought the debug monitor was totally removed. some people just need that kill counter so they can tell themselfs how awesome they are. not everyone can find enjoyment in the process of things. most people need a value to approve them like their mom telling them "you did good honey". anymore "mechanics" like this would just ruin the game. especially punishment systems. i personally shoot everyone i see if there's a chance he/she has some ammo for my gun/ a gun i want. so then i can go on and shoot the next guy better. survival of the fittest...uhm best equipped person. that's what it is. it will never change. deal with it. the people advocating total freedom when it comes to choice/commonness of weapons who start crying when people suggest making certain weapons rarer or even removing some of them are just silly. in a PvP centered game weapons are what make the gameplay. every...EVERY good competitive shooter has somekind of balance in place not to save people from being shot but to keep variaty in gameplay and make every piece of equipment valueble instead of just having certain weapons/vehicles that win the game. it's just what makes a good game. there is a reason that dayz doesn't include tanks. Rocket sure knows how that would change the game. if it was totally "realistic" and open and free he would've just included all arma equipments...and if you're one of those who rely on a certain weapon to have fun. making it rarer will only make it more valueable and increase the gratifivation when you find one. if you can't kill people with a double barreled shotgun....well, get some skills. it's just funny that people except the fact that there is no TWS sniper rifle or LMG in the game (anymore) but start babbling about total freedom of choice and realism when some people suggest to remove the L85 (i personally have no problem with that weapon at all. just trying to make a point here). so please let's not turn another good thread into a fight between two popular opinions where facts and the willingness of actually solving problems are totally absent. this is not a philosphical issue. so stop with the pompous statements already.

Wabbit, the bug is the fact that vehicles autorepaired. You could shoot out all the tires of a car, and it will just instantly repair itself. So you can't destroy vehicles anymore. This was actually fixed last night with the latest patch though:) <- CerN from the same squad as Showerg3l My latest episode: http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/107126-video-cerns-dayz-squad-play-episode-5-squad-vs-heli-squad-havoc/

Hi, you are welcome to check us out at The BSB Network. We're a social gaming community that is dedicated to fair and fun gaming. We have over 200 players in various Fire teams and groups playing Day Z and using our Teamspeak Server to communicate and coordinate their scavenges and raids. These teams have several bases, vehicles, camps and play across several of our own home servers. The community is mostly adult gamers over the age of 20 (well over in most cases!) but there are no age, time or skill requirements - all we ask is you play fair and have a bit of common sense about you! Our members are based all over the world and are on at all times of the day and night, but all speak English and most are based in the UK and Mainland Europe with some in the US too. We've been gaming as a community since 2002, so we're not some ad-hoc fly by night clan that's been quickly set up and will be gone in the blink of an eye! There is no obligation to join our clan or any of our affiliated clans/groups to take part in our sessions though, everyone is free to urn up and get involved. If you're interested check out or website @ www.bsbnetwork.com and try to hop on our Teamspeak 3 server and say "hi!" 212.187.246.58:9140

A long time ago I got this gun and was told it would explode vehicles in no time, but ended up not playing before getting to test it. But today we got back on and came across some boats and I had 4 boxes of ammo so I was like "I'm gonna shoot those boats." 60 shots later and nothing. I've been lied to.

You can't spawn in these types of vehicles as they are restricted by DayZ. You can run rMod (google it) on your server and there are tutorials around to spawn banned vehicles in. The downside being that every client that connects has to have rMod installed and attached to their game parameters. However for normal vehicles (heli's, cars, urals, bikes, boats etc) it should be fairly simple to figure out (look at all the tables that have vehicles in their name) The classname is the vehicle.

You just cannot seem to settle in and have fun. This is where me and few friends decided to all chip and and rent a private hive, where we GUARANTEE no admin abuse.

So I have been tossing the idea of what would be an epic map to play on and the first thing that came to my mind is a dense urban environment. Then I thought about what kind of urban environment are we talking about? We looking at a suburbia or a massive city? Possible a small city. But then it hit me. We have seen a lot of urban maps and dense city like maps. For example Fallujah, and the city of Vorkuta in Namalsk. I finally came to the conclusion recently of what the most epic map of all would be. New York City. Skyscrapers, dark alley ways, military checkpoints, and off course New York wouldn't be whole without Central Park. The subways would offer the underground base areas that people would be asking for, and the cities buildings would be rich with both loot and zombies. Imagine a map where you spawn in out front of an apartment with buildings lining the streets. Apartments, office buildings, tv and radio stations. Just picture the first thought you would have when you come into a world of burning buildings in complete blackout in the middle of the night. The streets lit by the embers of the destruction that took place only days earlier. Vehicles destroyed and crashed into each other. Bodies littering the streets at ever turn. You check the nearby buildings for survival gear and start heading down the road just to come across what looks to be a military check point. Military zeds line the hastily constructed towers and barbwire with hummers blocking the roadway. United States Marines or Soldiers who once attempted to stop the carnage and the spread of the zombie virus now lay dead at the feet of dozens of zombies.The first thing that comes to mind. A gun... but how do I approach without being seen. Then you hear a loud engine and see a hummer driving through the checkpoint from the other direction with a 50 cal mounted on top gunning the zombies down in front of. They stop right in front of you and three men jump out armed with M16 and M4 variants in MARPAT uniforms and tell you to get in. and your off. Wondering what will come next. Who will you meet, Will everyone be this friendly or is there a battle to be had. You pass through time square and they reveal to you their plan. They are heading to Central Park. There is a massive military camp set up there for refuges and Marines and Army Reserves who were stationed in New York to contain the spread of the zombie apocolypse that was unfolding before the eyes of the world. The virus has spread from the middle east and Russia and now its on our home front. What will happen next. Who will you meet next and will you be as fortunate as you were when the Marines showed up to whisk you away from the lost and terrifying position you were in.

the suv can be legit. this server has extra vehicles which aren't the same as the ones on the global hive servers with standard vehicles. it's so dark at the moment. i can't even see the gun im holding

Hello guys, Me and my friend hosting a new french server with private hive. This server is available for EU player. The language is English. Server name: FR 02 (v1.7.3/Beta98866) [160 VEHICLES] [Private Hive] IP: 159.253.131.97:2352 Loc=EU, Diff=Veteran, Map=Chernarus, Slots=40, 3DP=on, CH=on, PW=no It's a PvP server and we're looking for some other peoples to play with/against us. All spawn of vehicles are available. On the Chernarus Survival Server we currently have the following vehicles ingame (totally broken vehicles or vehicles that are untouched for more that 7 days will be respawned): 2x UAZ_Unarmed_TK_EP1 1x UAZ_Unarmed_TK_CIV_EP1 1x UAZ_Unarmed_UN_EP1 1x UAZ_RU 4x ATV_US_EP1 2x ATV_CZ_EP1 1X hilux1_civil_1_open 1x hilux1_civil_3_open 2x SkodaGreen 2x SkodaRed 1x TT650_Ins 1x TT650_TK_EP1 2x TT650_TK_CIV_EP1 3x Old_moto_TK_Civ_EP1 7x Old_bike_TK_INS_EP1 2x UH1H_DZ 2x S1203_TK_CIV_EP1 1x V3S_Civ 1x UralCivil 1x UralCivil2 2x Fishing_Boat 1x PBX 2x Volha_2_TK_CIV_EP1 1x VolhaLimo_TK_CIV_EP1 1x SUV_TK_CIV_EP1 1x LandRover_CZ_EP1 1x BAF_Offroad_W Hope to see you ingame soon.

Are you sure buying a new CD key will sort this out? Anyway, I have some ideas on some new clan ranks. Not sure if you will like them but hey :P Commander - Someone who leads a small group of members, Warlord - Someone who takes a couple of members to raid a town, Driver - Someone who will drive vehicles to transport items and members, Officer - Someone who controls new members, Pilot - Someone who will fly helicopters, (Joke Rank) Slave - The meatshield/Bait/Distraction.

If underground bases were to be in this game some sort of underground transport system would be necessary if bases were to be linked which span the entire map. Maybe some sort of underground drilling vehicles as well as means to store the necessary fuel. thoughts?
