Really?? You have no idea how pissed I am

[SpeechMan 7]

You think flipping ATV is annoying? How about this:

I spent several hours fixing a heli alone. Actually died a couple times and had to run all the way to NEAF and gather all the basic stuff. Finally when I got the thing going, flew around for like 30 minutes and decided to go check Cherno. For some reason as soon as I entered cherno, all the people there started shooting at me. Took a couple hits and decided to leave for repairs.

This is when stuff hit the fan. I landed on the roof of the factory, got the parts and did the repairs, but when I entered the chopper, there was no fuel. 1/3 tank of fuel just disappeared. So I though I'll just refuel the thing. Spent quite a long time running the stairs up and down carrying fuel, just when I got enough so I could have moved to better refuelling point, the fuel just disappeared, AGAIN!

I gave up on the ATV after me and a friend found a nice camp storing vehicles. We already stole the truck, leaving the ATV and bus. I get in the ATV go across the dam, randomly flip it. I thought that was dumb, but since we had the bus, I thought that maybe we could try and push the ATV over or something with it. So lightly we hit it in the bus, and the ATV launched into space, no joke, straight into the sky, never to be seen again lol The vehicle physics in this are all kinds of messed up lol

Waiting for the stand alone atm, probably as most but seeing as it's still nowhere close I reinstalled dayz and arma 2 but I think I now remember why I stopped playing...

spent whole goddamn day finding parts for ATV and when I was about to take off a zombie came out of nowhere and I hit it but not overrun and....ATV is fucking flipped.

So really?? That's it? no unflip option? Have I just lost my ATV due to this bullshit?

I suggest you avoid all bridges when you unflip your ATV otherwise you will have some uber rage kicking off! :P

P.S I once flipped a ATV on a bridge which made it unusable, HOWEVER I randomly passed the spot I left it flipped a day later and a server restart had unflipped and it was still usable. Check its location after a server restart you might have your ATV back!

next update isn't coming supposedly. Just in case it does, EVERYONE needs to become hero's ASAP

You had a fuel leaking glitch. To fix it, you need to repair all the windscreeens glasses.

maybe you have been away too long. what happened to you is classic dayz. Welcome back. Rage= rage

First, allow me to laugh profusely at you.

Second, the unflip vehicle option is present on many servers, so calm down. You just picked the wrong server, unlucky you.

[Fenrod 60]

ATVs... hate them. Train tracks, tree roots, bridges... the things are a death trap.

ArmA 2 has a lot of physics problems... in other game modes I've lost TANKS because I've hit tiny rocks which has sent me flying in loops through the air...

NTV..the no terrain vehicle.

Actually, it would be STV, some terrain vehicle :D

Did you see that? Hetstaine! I'd swear I saw him passing through but apparently he is a phantasm. Hmm well, even if I spelled that wrongly the fact is, I don't think he's a real human being. In fact, I'm starting to wonder if he isn't in fact an AI - you know, like in Kubrik's Space Odyssey! *looks all mysterious* :huh:

Thanks for the video tips and suggestions ya all. Some funny stories in here as well.

As I later found however the ATV was useless right from the beginning. The ATV indeed unflipped after server restart but (lmfao..well not really) the ATV just wouldnt move off of the bridge, where I've found it. It had the willingness to go up but not forward. AS I said bugged.

Since than though, I teamed up with a random guy and we were rolling for the past few dayz together and had great crack. Well until today.

We drove our pick up truck that we were so happy to find only to loose both front wheels on some random rock next to the road. I thought fine, my bad (it really was :) ) except we were in the middle of fcuking nowhere and in the end we had to run 6K to cherno to find two wheels.

Well thatwould be task for an hour or two but we wanted two cars in case we loose a wheel/s again. My buddy was searching cherno for ammo and wheels and I run past electro as I remembered there was a car with one wheel missing, so I though cool, I find a wheel, fix the other car, pick up my buddy with his found wheels and than we roll to our old pick up truck.

Meanwhile I was running another some at least 4k somewhere far past electro as the car that supposed to have one wheel missing was bit further than I thought but np I thought and I found said bike some 2.5k before my destination. Shame it had both wheels broke but at least I could ride..well 20km an hour at best but was ok I thought.

So I managed to find 3 wheels on my trip to the car that had actually all wheels missing...so I decided fcuk it, I fix my bike and we get all our wheels at cherno or else, as I was damn far from my buddy who msg me that he could use a blood transfusion, so I fix my bike and used 2 out of 3 wheels that took me loads of time, plenty of blood and sweat.

As I wasn't really pleased that I was left with only one wheel I decided to check the places that I passed when rushing to the car far behind electro. I, again managed to find two more wheels so had 3 wheels again (fcuk yea!!! I thought) only to find out im surrounded by zombies while quickly getting on my bike, trying to just ignore em and get back to my buddy now.

Well those undead bastards stood in front of my new-ishly fixed bike and when I took off my BOTH wheels got damaged once again. (why both instead of front I have no idea whatsoever) Furthermore slightly band front wheel doesnt make you go 19km/hr but whatever.

Ok so I got back to my buddy running past 2k as one of the zeds threw me off of my bike near cherno earlier gave him a blood transfusion. All was ok but we still had only one wheel left and werent happy about that. Thats not to mention that ammo was really scarce. So we started to clean cherno again and found 2 more wheels so that was it, now we had 3 again. Running 6k back to our pick up truck, fixed it and head to another location where we seen another car with 1 wheel missing.

Now that was great feeling, like the feeling of satisfaction after damn hard day of work but well earned. Having two shiny vehicles now, we decided its time to gear up a little and get us some more ammo and head off to airfields, finding some nice stuff at heli crashes. We even found two more wheels in a single shed on our way to the airfields. I was delighted as we used all but one wheel on our cars.

So heading to the airfield and being all delighted, my buddy lost connection driving and that's where my day got fucked up again, As his car re-positioned and than ''drove itself'' into trees and just vanished in burst of flames. Buddy wasnt happy at all and that didnt surprise me.

He's have had enough for the day and disconnected leaving it all for another day. I thought its alright, we still got our pick up truck and so I continued to the airfield hoping to find a chopper or some kind of wings as it was obvious, cars are fine and probably better than nothing but we do need wings. That's when I saw some smoke and coming closer I see another heli crash, hoping to perhaps finally score an NV's. Except not looking in front of me for few seconds I hit some random rock in rather low-ish speed, next to a side road again. So I get out check the car and two wheels are missing...Alright I got two so I ll just replace them I thought. Shame I didnt even get the chance to replace those wheels as the car just bursted on flames and blew up.

I leave my hard feelings and incredible rage and just skip to my trip to the airfield, in hope to score something. A bike, wings or some car, whatever. So clearing out the airfield I've collected plenty of AK ammo and AKM ammo for my buddy when I get hit trying to open gate doors. Doors open with about the speed of 200km/hr and brake my bone. Great...well lucky I still have the morphine injector.

Oh wait I used the lastone and the rest burned up along with the bloody car and if that wanst enough, some random undead douchebag climbed on top of me and made me unconstious and makes me bleed out while eating my nice camo clothing.

End of the day.

At first I just thought I leave my little feedback shorter and more to the point but I just wanted to share this experience. It was great and fucking horrible at the same time, making dayz what it is. AS I meantioned in my previous post I've recently started and reinstall dayz/arma as I cant wait for the stand alone but todays experienced left me so angered that I'll probably uninstall all of it again as loosing your stuff, so hard to get and find is just...not healthy for my already pretty choleric ''condition''.lol.

Going to create new thread when I try to summarize my feedback about wheels made of glass and vehicles that catch on fire after hitting a rock or tree at 15km/hr.

Also forgive the typos and some missing punctuation but I just can't be bothered to go on about fixing it....

YES!!! I knew I wasn't the only one! Just lost a fucking Tusk on Takistan today because of a god damn pebble!
