Tomthumb Posted April 24, 2015 Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 Hi guys, bit disheartened to be honest, played for 6 hours. and been collecting items to build a base and what not. Drive into the safe zone, LOCK vechicle. wounder in sell some bits, buy some bits. come out and just unlock the car take 1 item, lock it again. run about 20 meters, my car is in full get away mode. Cant shoot it. its gone. someone took the scumbag oppertunity to take it with everything in it. it was locked. can he get out of it? also why the hell could the car be drive when i immobilized it? just fed up with it really. takes so long to achive anything. ready to quit tell me somthing good here.

Creature Posted April 24, 2015 Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 Welcome to Dayz... err..wait.. Ohhhh. Disregard that. Most servers have rules about that type of thing at the "safe" traders. Otherwise, thems the ropes in a sandbox game with minimal rules. It's also a major part of the charm of these types of games. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prone Posted April 24, 2015 Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 It's a game of loss. If you get that upset over it, it might not be the right game for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1Man Posted April 24, 2015 Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 Ya it was me figured I would drive around until restart then it's mine, restart will kick me out of the vehicle and boom unlock it and drive around selling all your loot. Thanks for all your hard work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomthumb Posted April 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2015 no admins on the server you can tell your problems? Perhaps they will help yea. i play a pacifist.

knights†emplar Posted April 25, 2015 Report Share Posted April 25, 2015 If i was the server admin i would ban you for parking in safe zone in first place :D on a serious note, i think you are posting in the wrong forum, go to the admin of that server and explain, but seriously i would ban you for parking in safe zone :D js2k6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomthumb Posted April 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2015 why is that a offense? everyone seems to do it on that server? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gen0cide Posted April 25, 2015 Report Share Posted April 25, 2015 The dumbest thing you can do is take a fully loaded vehicle to a spawn zone trader. I mean seriously there are 50 plus traders on the map but you think it's a good idea to go to the one pooping out fresh spawns like no tomorrow? Lesson learned I hope on your part, it's a survival game (depending on the server setup) so use your brain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomthumb Posted April 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2015 i think the point is immobilisers don't work. the car still worked when it was locked. it needs to be changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fog Horn Posted April 25, 2015 Report Share Posted April 25, 2015 i think the point is immobilisers don't work. the car still worked when it was locked. it needs to be changed. You miss the point , as long as a player is in a vehicle it will "operate" . You can't " immobilize it" by locking it . He/she was hiding on the other side when you returned for your second trip and entered the moment you unlocked it ( not that I've ever done that ) so locking it again was pointless . Just in case you needed help connecting the dots . :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DayZ Vet Posted April 25, 2015 Report Share Posted April 25, 2015 As far as i know you can't lock a vehicle while someone is in it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chisel Posted April 25, 2015 Report Share Posted April 25, 2015 As far as i know you can't lock a vehicle while someone is in it THIS! So it likely never locked the second time. You just thought it locked, and the thief drove away. If losing your stuff has you ready to quit, maybe you should. Just being honest here... No shame and I'm not poking fun at all; if it hurts that much this isn't going to be an enjoyable experience for you so save yourself the stress and frustration.

Tomthumb Posted April 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 yes you can lock it when someones in it. i can easily prove this if i could get fraps working and had a vehicle. . try it yourself. once you lock it, it should not be driven. anyway. its easy to get pissy with a game when you put all day in it and someone takes it all away. I did lock it. i was aware of the risks. and maybe it should properly immobilize it like in real life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KPABATOK Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 As far as i know you can't lock a vehicle while someone is in it there is a glitch when it happens sometimes. I once locked myself in a car and many weeks later, one of my friends, He didn't even notice it since I unlocked it instantly. But it is possible.

Stranger Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 I heard on some servers you can buy vehicles :D Nah, just kidding. The most stolen Vehicles are made stolen by the owners itself. Oh boy, i have forgotten so much about locking my vhicles ;) DayZ Vet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Dayz it was possible to lock your car with someone in it. It did immobilize the vehicle. So far in A3 Epoch I have not been able to lock a vehicle with someone it. Not once. If you are able to do it, must be a bug or the exception, but not the norm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
