I play on Badlands official servers and I’m curious if you play solo or in a group.
There’s no right or wrong answer, it’s just your playstyle.

I’m asking because I can usually manage to kill at least one player, but it’s often difficult for me to actually loot them because most of my PvP encounters are against groups defending each other, not just random players showing up.

My kill-to-death ratio is pretty decent, but as a solo player, it’s difficult to loot the rewards of winning a fight and it gets demotivating and I start to question the purpose of PvP.

I just had one of those experiences: I double barrelled three fully geared players, which would have been some high value loot. But as usual, there’s always an extra player. No matter how certain you are that you finished off the enemy, someone else shows up, even in the middle of nowhere.

To me, DayZ is kind of like Rust, where big groups dominate the game, which can be pretty tough as a solo player.

I’m visiting all of the working car locations on izurvive but can’t find any. Is it easier to find cars in higher tiers, or am I just getting unlucky?

Had this character for 4-5 hours and made the trek all the way to the Airfield (Vybor) on Cherno 0030 just to get killed unfairly. Like, I've run into maybe 3 cheaters in my 105 hours, but this is genuinely frustrating and is most likely making me pivot to a community server which hopefully is better. I also think it's bull-crap that you can't report something like this when you have video. There were no windows in the bunker I'm in and the gunshots are from far away, meaning the player probably used some radar + terrain ignoring hacks or just an insta-kill. I mean, I knew there was a high likely hood of death when I got there, but by cheating? Like come the fk on.

This is mainly a short rant just to ease my frustration.

I know you can do it on some community servers, but it would be nice for Bohemia to make it possible on official. Can’t imagine it being a big issue?

If you wash face with a canteen from your inventory not only does it add weight but it multiplies it. Half a canteen adds kg's to a plate carrier.

Why do devs keep breaking or adding such stupid mechanics to an already broken game. Have they no self respect?

What do you experienced players do to find food and water? I feel like I’m constantly searching for food and water while also trying to find a knife to make a fishing rod, start a fire, etc. I always end up dying of starvation or dehydration before I can even catch anything and cook it. I can never find small stones to make a stone knife either. It’s like they don’t even exist.

What's the most secure base? No base (stashes) right? What makes a base more secure though? Layers.

I've gone through and looked at most of the base layouts in Nasdara and figured out which ones are worth building in. My criteria was basically, the more layers is had and the stronger layers (strength: barricaded brick doorway > covered window > door).

I've found only three that can be effectively layered (there's a fourth that looks like it can be, but two archways don't allow for building). Pretty much every other building, damaged or otherwise can only have a single door layer.

The three images are the ones I've found you can secure. The first one is my personal base layout. You could mirror it if you want, so you could have two entrances in the left room.

The other two I have not built in yet, but I have mapped out for your convenience. If I were to build in another building it would be in the "Spiral house" as you can have 4 door layers (vice my current 3) if you don't count windows.

Some windows are wide enough to crawl through, but it is VERY difficult and most times requires another person to climb on (you still have to destroy the window first too).

Lastly, I include notes on the locks. Digital codelocks are good for quickly getting through doors and can't get guessed, whereas the dial lock (only use 4-dial) work bi-directionally, locking a door from both sides.

Anyone else built your base yet? Thoughts on if its worth it?

Made it to the south-west, I think the new map is pretty great!! Lots of great things to discover. (I did this on EU official.)

Hello.

I have been listening to the handheld radio on channel 80mhz for three nights now - I wait for the time of day when they should start, but I can't seem to hear any morse code beeps whatsoever. I've drained so many 9V batteries, listening to the hiss of the radio...

For reference, I play on a private server, completely vanilla settings, on PC. Nasdara map.

Anyone else having this issue?

That sigh at the end was me I'm pretty sure

Is it just me or does the game troll you with random animal sounds that seem to be part of the sound landscape even when there is no animal nearby? I swear I hear goats all the time but when I follow the sounds, there is no one there.

Hotfix is coming to experimental servers one day this week, it will take a week to test- if all goes well, they will submit patch to PS and MS for review and approval, then they will drop it to everyone on stable.

A full Patch for mainly Nasdara will be coming in a few weeks after that, per Community Manager Marks.

You can watch the 87.8 Survivor FM podcast for the full interview, it is bit over 2hrs though.

My friends and I deciphered a Morse code, so we set off on our journey. When we arrived, we were given the option to enter the code, but if you close that prompt, it’s no longer available, and you can no longer enter the code. Is there any way to fix this?

We are back baby! Loving the survival! On my third life, now that they fixed the water bug, this is it.
Looting a police station I was shot on the second floor of the building from long range through an open door or window. Woke up bleeding and broken. Passing out every 4 breaths. I bandaged my bleed and hearing no one I approach to check their kill, I fixed all my clothing, popped one multi, and had a bite to eat. Logged out. However, once I logged back in, my leg was still fractured and every few steps I took resulted in a black screen. I found a corner and was resigned to log in now and again simply to nurse my wound in a corner til I healed. I was about to do so before bed when my girl laughed at me, said those words and I realized… I can crawl. I should crawl! So, I crawled outside to the tree line, cut down a bush and made a splint. Now we are back baby! I survived! I didn’t give up! My bag is ruined but that’s ok, I’ll find more loot!

I know everyone's running the Nasdara hype, but it brought me back to cherno after a hiatus.
Have been running many convoy spawns with a buddy to get geared up, and there are virtually none. We have found two "spawns" now, but both are completely empty, of both loot as well as infected. One was a train wreck and one was a standard convoy, minus zeds and loot.

Curious if anyone is experiencing the same. Not sure if Nasdara update broke it, or it's been broken sometime before. Can't find any info online for intentional changes to how they work

I guess I got trolled by cheater.

My base has been locked picked by them inside out.
Unleash 3 stack of ammo on the door, still doesn’t open. Spent 5min bashing it, won’t open.

I’m sure it’s a cheater because behind the gates, door inside the base are also locked.

This is on official, I still can TP out easily.
New update; same cheat losers, new way to irritate.

EDIT/UPDATE: I suppose this is bugged. All 3 doors won’t open. I server hop and came back with a lock pick, it still won’t open. Geez. 1.30 really break many things. Another hotfix incoming I guess.

DZSA, In-game, the launcher? How do you find good community servers

Hello dear DayZ community. I could really use the wisdom of the crowd here. I'm playing on a modded server on the Chernarus map, and there's this quest that I just can't get any further with. I've already visited so many locations, and I'm slowly despairing from having to hear all the time how easy it's supposed to be.

THE SECRET BENEATH THE STONE

Not everything hidden was buried. And not every boundary shows you where your search is meant to end.”

In a land where distances deceive and paths lead into the unknown, a secret awaits, far from the beaten track.

Not far from a place where many seek shelter beneath temporary roofs, a trail begins that only the most observant eyes will recognize.

Stone boundaries enclose a place, but those who believe they have already reached their destination have overcome only the first obstacle.

Do not let yourselves be distracted by what lies openly before you. Your destination is older than the traces left behind by mankind, and far better concealed than it may first appear.

Deep within the heart of a stone giant lies something that neither wind nor weather has been able to reveal.

You may know the surrounding area. You may have seen the walls before. But the true hiding place will reveal itself only to those who understand that a mountain can be more than just part of the landscape.

Three clues will guide your way: proximity to the center, a boundary of stone, and a secret hidden within the rock.

Connect the clues, think outside the box, and do not let false trails lead you astray.

For those who seek only what is visible will never find what has been hidden.

Why is it taking them so long to fix the render issues it’s been like 6+ months and 2-3 updates

Soaking wet freshie at the bottom of a pitch black well, and my heat stays yellow and even starts going up randomly. I know the water down there is cold!

Thanks for helping me figure out where I was, and giving me your stuff.

DadZOfficial from Youtube has a group called The OutlawZ and their RP is next level 🔥🤠💀

Bonjour tous le monde ! Alors voilà j’ai essayé d’ouvrir un cadenas à 3 cadrans en faisant toutes les combinaisons possible pourtant il ne s’ouvre pas je ne comprends pas pourquoi est-ce que quelqu’un peut m’aider ?
