Ural Civilian exploding w/o reason

[p4triot 207]

Today our group went on a roadtrip through chernarus looking for good stuff and blablabla, the usual. Nothing worthy to tell happened, but the deal is, when we went back to our camp (8 tents, full all of them, with GREAT stuff - as50 , SD weapons, etc - Our Ural Civilian Truck was destroyed. Completely destroyed, exploded.

Nothing was missing, nothing, not a single item. Also the rest of the vehicles were ok. All the changes since we left was the exploded truck.

WTF?? I mean, if someone found the camp they would have made a party in there with beer and bitches due to his luck, and leave the place completely wasted but no, they just destroy the truck an leave? cmo'n! I dont buy that. I think the vehicle exploded espontaneously. So the question is, how is that posible?

Some info:

- The truck hasnt been used in 48 - 72 hours (However, I though it takes a week to respawn from disuse, and I though it would disappear, not explode)

SideNote: There's a story with this truck. 3 days ago we got raided by a SUV group with 4 full geared guys in there, they started unloading his weapons on us and our truck while we tried to run, the truck exploded and at the same very second the server crashed. When the server went online again we entered and the truck was still there NOT exploded, but fully wasted, needing a full repair of all his parts. Is it possible the truck exploded with a 3-day-delay??

(btw, the SUV wasnt there or near around anyway, which is also strange).

I though of hackers also but I don't know... and the admin says can't find nothing out of the way in logs,

well i like to destroy vegicles and leave the items...

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

You parked too close to a tree and it slid and took damage?

[p4triot 207]

Between 2 trees, with enough distance between them and the truck. I dont think this is the reason, because anyway, it would have take more than 48 hours to explode? truck hasnt been used last 2 days so it would have been received damage all this time.

Also, for the record, the truck survived 2 server restarts.

More info, we found another truck at the respawn point, w/o a server restart. Who knows how much time's been there. I don't understand anything xD

Never wise to stick all your eggs in one basket, spread your camp far and wide. :)

Hmmm. maybe the truck was moved onto something, I have seen several vehicles explode from glitching ontop of small items.

You think your the only group that is fully geared in DayZ?

Maybe someone joined the server, saw your stuff and thought they'd just be cruel and blow up your Ural, then they went off to carry on playing.

Happened to me too. Vheicles are just really buggy.

I know a good number of players who will destroy any stashed vehicles they find, just so they respawn and become available to other players. As for the rest of your gear being untouched, maybe they just did't need it.

lulz

Possibility. I parked a vehicle between some trees..breaking glass to get it in there..walk away, cresting a hill into a town-area..Few minutes later "KA-FAK'N-BOOM!" I guess the car moved an inch and nudged a tree..which made the vehicle start pinball'n between two trees until, I'm guessing, it exploded.

Perhaps some idiot found your camp and tried to steal the truck...demo'n it in the process (though you state the vehicle didnt really move)

I'm thinking your server-crash is the logical-answer. Some-how, some-why, it makes sense :D
