Bikes, Helicopters, and Vehicles in General

[Jeetard 9]

We just need more.

the fact that there are more Assault Rifles in this game than there are bikes is weird...

and the amount of vehicles in dayz ( 2-3 per server ), makes absolutely no sense. ( i understand that there shouldn't be a lot of helicopters, but i would say 3 max ( one for each airfield ))

let's say for example, i'm in my backyard and a zombie comes out of nowhere, eats my face and i die. My car wouldn't just blow up out of no where.

In real life, the car would still be intact.

that being said, i understand that having a fully fixed car spawn wouldn't be that much fun either. so what i'm suggesting is that, enable more vehicle spawns, but still make it so that you need to repair the said vehicles. ( repair 4 Tires, Engine parts, Fuel tank, and 4-5 jerry cans, That in itself takes a lot of time if you're playing solo. getting 4 tires from high loot industrials back to the car spawn to try to fix it, let alone being able to find a repairable car. )

as of right now, only the server admins on the specific servers are the only people who are able to obtain and maintain their vehicles.

for example, I killed an admin and stole his car. The admin can then proceed to do many of these options that i've been faced with

1. boom, ban hammer

2. temp kick

3. server restart/rollback

I know there have been topics about Vehicles but as long as i've searched for none of those topics have mentioned the fact about why there shouldn't be more vehicles.

Well there are a fair few vehicles, the problem is, the moment they spawn, people go to them and get them all and then horde them on the map.

There is 25-30 vehicles on all serveres ^^

i have no idea where you got those numbers from but you sure as hell pulled them out of your ass

10-11 vehicles MAX on average it's about 2-3 because it takes a full 24 hours for them to spawn

I dont think there should be more vehicles than guns, or at last, not any vehicle :D

I think Bicycles should be A LOT more common. It would make the world more interesting too, because players in vehicles will stick to the roads since they are faster there. That way, villages and towns wouldnt be that empy anymore :/ Military vehicles should be rare, so each vehicletyp should have an own "spawnindicator", meaning that for example Bicycles have a chance of, say 80% to spawn, common civilian cars and Motorbikes 40%, Heavy load vehicles (for exmple the ural civilian) 20% and Military vehicles 10%, the helicopter of course only 5%. This must not mean that any vehicle spawnpoint can spawn any vehicle! Of course not! But, lets say a map may contain 10 vehicles, the chance for a bicycle to be spawned is a lot higher than for a motorised vehicle. Also, there should be more bicycle spawn points. One could also make bicycles an own category, so that they dont influence the pool of motorised vehicles. Whichever way of overhauling you use, there definitely should be MORE vehicles, and i think that at least partially, each vehicle class should be treated with an own spawn propabilty, so that the games "supply" works the same way other goods in Dayz work: Basic goods for basic survival should be found often and anywhere, special goods for not so basic needs should be found in certain places only and not too often. The more a tool or item or vehicle is not "basic" the harder it should be to be found and the less it should be spawned.

I think that they should keep the vehicle dynamics but make a modification system with scrap parts.

Eg. Kneecappers, snow plow, maybe even a humvee style gun turret.

I know it sounds a bit unrealistic, but how can a snow plow in cherno go wrong :)
