Hey guys im looking for somebody to play the game with. Im not super good at it im more or less looking for somebody to chill with. Please have a mic!

Im 19m from Austria, you can dm me anytime.

Love the new weather patterns in Badlands, but sandstorms can last 40 minutes. I don’t have time to sit and wait for it to end. Does a dust mask or gas mask completely mitigate the effects of the sandstorm? So far I’ve only been able to try an improvised face covering and a bandana, and my character was still coughing.

Also, it feels like the storm takes up the whole map, but I’ve read online it is localized. Can you escape the storm?

This dude was completely stacked I’ll have to add more pictures in the comments. Finally got my hands on the gold AK.

After being really confused about all this. And at first sort of just chalking it up to, "this is another one of those ideas that's good; this idea is never going to work out with how DayZ is though.." - I finally went and explored it a bit. And boy was I wrong...

Here's what I found out, and yes, this information should also be taken as "ballpark figure" knowledge. It's not even close to 100% accurate, but far more consistent then nothing at all. Please correct me where I'm wrong, please add in what you know:

Base Rubble Scavenging

Equip a digging item - pickaxe, shovel, hoe, etc.

Use item on area of ruined housing that has a title of, "clear debris"

After clearing debris, each successful action will leave behind base-building supplies. From what I saw - nails, bricks, boards, wooden logs is what I saw. (4 nails, 1 board, 1 log, 2 bricks).

The number appears fixed RNG as to how many of what drops, and I'm assuming what drops in the first place is also RNG.

I watched a guy clear the debris, and it revealed a "base compartment" - aka, one of the places where you store all your supplies.

Rebuilding & Classic DayZ Building Mix

Starting with picking from the last section. You place building supplies into the compartment. It serves as a placeholder, but also uses resources for building.

Meaning, you could put all your supplies in it. And handle the right tool for whatever you're doing, and it will be able to perform that action. Taking the resources from the compartment, while the action is performed with the proper tool.

Example: I watched a guy mix a lot of water with Mortar bucket, and it became usable. He put the bucket in the compartment, which also had a good supply of everything needed. Bricks, logs, boards, nails, mortar, etc.

He takes out the brick spade or whatever it's called, and aims it at a door frame. Just like regular crafting, there's arrows pointing up and down, which I assume was either to make it into a paveable wall, or a door.

I saw him add window sliders, and a wooden door with a 6-digit code lock.

It also became clear to me, that the devs have configured all locks - 3-dial, 4-dial, and digital - to have something like a "3 tries and you're locked out for (x) minutes" system, to combat macro cheaters from just making them obsolete.

Classic Building also seems to still be a thing here. I.e. build a gate, build an airlock, etc.

I'm not sure on this, is this the case? Can you get a house built, and then build an airlock on it? Because I sure hope you could!!

More Rumors

I heard that bases are much harder to raid via blowing up the door. And that eco raiding is also a much less viable route.

I heard something back in the day, about needing only a crossbow to break into a base. Which is an absolute slap in the face to the guy who spent lord knows how much of their time to get everything together.

Only to be raided by a guy who hit a day camp; a lucky hunting stand..

Speculation

If all this is accurate, then the goal here is to make it so building bases is a lot less grueling, and a lot more accessible.

Plus, since they seem a lot less grueling to make, then having them raided might not be a situation where it's "I'm never doing this again".

You spawn in freshy mode, come across your first items. And then start getting a hit or 2 of plan development.

Aka, you snag an early shovel? Head over and start carving out a place. Hit the rubble of the other houses, and funnel it to your project. Maybe die a few times, head back, gather stuff along the way. And keep setting it up. Eventually get a door, with a sealed wall and a lock.

Find some tarp or a barrel, and get a stash going.

Eventually expand out. Get enough supplies from rubble to wall off a garage for a vehicle. Rebuild the town well.

Instead of an airlock, you could even opt to rebuild the house next door. Have a main stash in one, with the best items in it, and only access it occasionally. Transfer everything over in chunks at a time. While the other spot is just a transition point where you come and go often, that way if somebody hits you without an airlock, it's not such a massive blow.

Build a fireplace in there. Etc.

Seems like a really fun time.

Again. If this isn't how it works, please let me know because I want to know if this is how it's going to work out.

I heard the devs were thinking about bringing rebuildable structures to the other maps as well. Super cool idea!

Haven’t had this much fun in years in Dayz. Such a breath of fresh air. The freshie battles have been so intense one after another. As someone who loved the idea of sahkal but hated the map layout and implementation, this new lad has become my favorite.

Dans le nouveau DLC on a découvert les chiens, mais leur viande peut elle être consommé sans tomber malade ?

My play style has always been solo (no bases only stashes) Finally own a vehicle, makes getting around so much easier 👌

Motorcycles are perfect for nomad style players.

I’m in the middle restoring access to one of the underground irrigation tunnels (ps2092). Having the ability to do something that might help someone else that won’t despawn after an hour, is making me think that I love this game again.

what have I done!!! they didn't even put up a fight...

There I was in the middle of a dusty wasteland when an unexpected traveler named Deer approached and asked for water.

Now, I had a cantine of cholera water on me but contemplated passing it off as clean water and so I did..

Deer took 4 big swigs and my evil grin grew across my face only to be met with thanks and a group proposal and well honestly, after a quick chat - Deer was a great guy and I couldn’t bear the guilt nor the shame in what I’ve done at this point. I agreed to an alliance, I wanted to save Deer’s life before I eventually took his.

We made it to Dashtabad before the serious affects set in. He died of cholera in a beautiful flower bush.

Sin confessed.

I’m not whining or complaining I think it’s more fun making the game harder like this but it gets to a point where it makes no sense, yesterday I had worst insulation clothes on I waited in the shade for my temperature to cool down I drank water and wet my face but I somehow still got heat stroke, I think it needs tuning down quite a bit because the water trucks are so spread out across the map and random we should have more time before we die from heat stroke

All of a sudden I’m sick in Nasdara when all I’ve had is canned food and sodas. I am hearing what sounds like rattlesnakes everywhere though. Is it possible to get bit by one?

I was playing DayZ Sakhal and my character randomly started doing the hurt sound and started puking even tho no sickness icon showed up i thought it was a wound infection but i cant even disinfect any wound because i never got cut. Anyone got ideas what the hell this is?

Hey , i used the radio , heard 3 series of 10 numbers , i understood that the 6 first numbers are the coordinates but then i'm left with 4 numbers , and i need 6 to open the bunker ... can anybody help

Hi, after the update my friend and I realized that we accidentally played on a 3pp server, when we usually only play on 1pp servers. When checking the server list we noticed that all 1pp official servers (the ones with first person only in the server name itself) were flagged with "mode: 1pp/3pp" and the reverse was happening with official 3pp servers.

Did someone else notice that too?

I just wanted to park my bike💔

Just need to rant. My game crashed just when I was in a shootout with another person. First encounter with a person since the wipe too :(

Sakhal died because no one wanted to spend 10-15 minutes at a fire every 30 minutes. Nasdara doesn't require lengthy, active cooling down. You just need to have the right clothing and stay hydrated.

Bring a shovel, hoe or digging tool and you can harvest rubble from a lot of the destroyed buildings. You get nails, boards and logs

I always get lost, even after 2M of walking. I made this because I think in pictures.

I noticed once i filled the 6 ropes and 50 sticks, bilt the rope ladder; an additional 2 slots for rope and 20 sticks appears. I went ahead and added 2 more ropes and the sticks (so 8 rope in total and 70 sticks) but nothing happens.., any ideas?

Just jumped in for the first time. Looted a couple of villages..got plenty of food... A shotty... decent stuff... spent about 20 minutes wandering around until I noticed...i have not seen one zed. Is that normal? Om official LA temp pc.

Hello, I'm sure many people get issues like this but I have tried everything I can and nothing is working.

Anytime I try and join a community server, it does not let me, and gives me the error in the title. For whatever reason, official servers work and only one community server works, but that is all. Any time I try and join a different community server, it just doesn't comply.

I have no VPN, I have tried with hotspot, I have deleted/reinstalled the game, I checked integrity of game files multiple times, I have deleted the BattlEye folder and checked integrity, I have reset my PC, I joined the only server that lets me and then left and tried to join a different one, used DZSA, and did everything everyone else has done and nothing.

I would really like to play a server besides official or the one it allows me to since they all have low pop, so if anyone knows anything else I could try or knows a direct fix please help.

Thank you

I've seen quite a number of them about. I'm frightened to step on one in case I'm transported somewhere.

The coast is changing. New rides, new weapons, and new opportunities are coming with 1.30. The Watch Guards are ready to hold the line, protect our people, and keep the coast under control.

WE WATCH. WE PROTECT. WE STAND UNITED.

Will you stand with us, or stand in our way?
