omgwtfbbq (DayZ) 1069 Posted September 13, 2012 (edited) Yesterday, I found a hoarder camp here. All the vehicles were destroyed, just my luck, and even the bicycle was destroyed. How this was managed, I don't know. Anyway, I spent the better part of two hours running around looking for scrap metal and tires. Found first tire and scrap metal in Zelenogorsk, but I had to go all the way to Komarovo to find the second wheel. The server restarted on my way back, but when I returned to the bike's location, it was still where I had saved it. I fix up the bike, and take off. I move the bike to here, lie it on its side in a pine tree, and even spent a few minutes re-adjusting it until it was completely hidden. You had to be standing right next to the tree for the prompt to appear. Even with NVGs, it was impossible to see from any distance. I lie down in the same tree, right next to the bike, save it, and log out.Today, I log in to find the bike MISSING. I have proof that it saved through the server restart, and the chance of someone running along right next to that specific tree and seeing the prompt and taking the bike is so small, it's not even worth considering. I returned to the hoarder camp site, hoping to find any evidence of what happened. Nothing. The camp was gone.So who do you think is responsible for moving my bike? Hacker, hoarder, server, or extremely lucky traveler? Edited September 13, 2012 by omgwtfbbq Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Welch (DayZ) 756 Posted September 13, 2012 Hackers. Or skiddies who run the "Navigation" script that shows all vehicles, players, tents, and removes grass. It's VERY common, and people are made to believe that this "tool" isn't even a hack/script. And so that's why there are so many "I'm banned but didn't do anything wrong!" posts.

Bonehead3535 105 Posted September 13, 2012 or server didnt restart properly. it will usually reappear in the next restart Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vrekia 2 Posted September 13, 2012 Could somebody still see it if they used a L85A2 AWS just random scanning for bandits because of their paranoia? Thats probably what happened if it was legitly stolen without any glitch, hack, or lack of actual server saving.Most likely some hacking involved though ithinksoyes. Vehicle warps seem easy enough to do, so your bike is probably sitting in a clearing someplace next to a boat or three. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

puppetworx 474 Posted September 13, 2012 I had the exact same thing happen to me. I was playing on a server which gives you warnings how long it has to go before it restarts. Two minutes before the restart I hop off the bike in the middle of pine trees in the forrest, save it and log out. I jump back in the game straight after the restart...Walking is a bitch. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Faceman Peck 93 Posted September 13, 2012 not all vehciles save properly, after a second restart it could have poofed. Also, hackers can see the location of everything on the board, perhaps it got ganked the old fashion cheaters way Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chernojourno 226 Posted September 13, 2012 (edited) Yeah could be hackers. I've seen them teleport an entire servers vehicles, fixed and broken, including bikes back to the coast. Edited September 13, 2012 by Cherno Journo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
