Spawn rate of Vehicles need buff

[Takas 91]

Currently it is really a hassle to find a vehicle. They spawn extremely rarely and it is very frustrating to search for one. Even server hopping does not really help, since you can switch the server twenty or thirty times - in view of a vehicle spawn location - and still not have found a vehicle.

It's just not fun, and you have to consider that server hopping is not even a wanted game mechanic. Imagine the hassle to find a car when you cannot switch servers like that. It's like you will never find anything. Even in a broken down societey you will find tons of cars everywhere, they will just need repair.

It's just not fun. Please buff the spawn rate of vehicles. Just the vehicles. They can still be broken down as hell and need repair, as long as I am able to find a car without switching servers like a maniac... it would very much be appreciated.

I would not say more vehicles, but I would say that the update after next needs to reset vehicles. I say this because the reason you can't find vehicles is because they are all hidden by a group.

No, I have about 9 on our server, easy to find if you look in the right places, they spawn completely destroyed ( rarely fixed ) Or steal them from people or ambush for them like I have done, I'll say it again NO

No to that too, people work hard to find vehicles and stash their stuff in it too wouldn't you be annoyed to find all your vehicles gone + your loot in it? Such a M249 SAW, L85A2 AS50 stuff like that

I find them all the time. My server has been up for almost a month and I'm still finding them. I found a bus just yesterday.

Yeah, like I haven't looked at the DayZ map and just randomly switched server looking into the woods, hoping for a car to pop out. Obviously I was at the spawn locations of them.

You did not state an argument as why not to increase the spawn rate. You just said no.

Vehicles should have a much shorter respawn time even when used. For example, first player to get into a vehicle sets off a timer for around 2/4/6/8/12 hours? After that, it disappears and respawns randomly on the map. Saving does not reset the timer.

You get to the use vehicle for raids, transport across map, etc. And everyone else gets a chance to find that vehicle.

[Takas 91]

Groups will always have the advantage to keep their vehicles since they can just move them, thus not let them respawn. Why not just give vehicles a chance to spawn at their destined location, even though said car has been horded somewhere. This will increase the number of vehicles in the game make it still able to find some of them.

Also, I get the feeling that those who are against increased spawn rates are those people that horde cars and don't want other players to have them too. Since then it would be easier to find their hidden places in remote positions.

In the current state it is almost impossible to find a car at it's spawn location. This is not fun. This needs to be fixed.

I think that the respawn time should be increased of a car, like 3 days? Maybe even 24 hours? You would literally get an all out warfare to get control of the vehicle with other groups of survivors.

To tell you the truth the times I never can find a vehicle is when i'm looking for one. About 90% of the time I'll come acrossed on one of my journy's to drown some kittens or something.

Are you joking????????

If I had no life and only played DayZ, maybe that would be acceptable, but most people have lives outside the game, that's why my character tends to live longer than most. What happens if I leave for the day? or the week? Think about it now, don't be stupid.

As for the post, the spawn rate could use with a little bump, and I've heard that anything outside the boundaries disappears with a faster time but not fast enough, it should be like one hour so then there'd be no out of map camps, as there still is.
