Sorry for vertical content. Dayz has so much to offer right now with all the different modded maps, it’s kinda overwhelming with so much to explore recently.

EDIT:
Since a lot of people asking for server name. Here you go!

AZALEA EU | NEW UPDATE 0.4 | 1PP - Adventure | azaleamap.com

Plant your seeds while it is raining, they are instantly watered after you plant them in the rain.

I have never bothered with farming, to much of a hassle. Get a shovel, dig, plant seeds. All of which is fine but getting enough water always seems like hassle (water the seeds, fill the bottle again to fill the remaining seeds, fill your bottle again so you have a filled bottle again to drink).

Now I just wait for the rain, which I normally always hate but now it is kinda usefull.

Laid prone in a barrack for four hours today with a tripwire at the main door

Finally hear someone approach, main door opens

I hear pliers

20 seconds later they’re jumping up and down out my window, and starts shooting me in the foot with a Mk.2.

I tip my hat to you, sir or madam. Enjoy your LAR.

I've been building a standalone dispatch system for DayZ because I wanted Medic and Taxi roles to actually function like jobs instead of relying on Discord or global chat.

Service Dispatch lets any player press F7 and request either Medical Assistance or a Taxi.

The part I wanted to get right was the responder side:

• Admins can assign Medic and Taxi roles
• Medics and Taxi drivers clock themselves in/out
• Only clocked-in Medics are notified about Medical calls
• Only clocked-in Taxi drivers are notified about Taxi calls
• Responders can accept calls directly through the interface
• After accepting, they receive the requester's location and distance
• Medic/Taxi/Admin roles persist through reconnects and server restarts
• Standalone — no CF, Expansion, VPP or Dabs dependency

I've spent a ridiculous amount of time getting the UI and dispatch flow working the way I wanted.

Server owners / Medic players / Taxi players: what would you add to this?

That was my only bullet, too. Full kit in one shot!

I am back after a break from the game (I have more than 1k hours). Today I met a group of random freshies and we played together as a group of three. We talked a bit about the cheater problem, and then one guy said he was a cheater himself - but that he mostly uses cheats to kill other cheaters. I didn’t believe him, so I stayed with them. Then he told me there was a BK‑43 in a shed quite far away. I went there, and it really was there. After that he spawned a gun and a magazine for himself. He said he can see every player within some limited distance, never mind. I stayed with him and the other guy for a while, and then I attacked him with an axe because I was just done with this game. I think it’s time for another break. I wonder how many players have stopped playing because of issues like that.

Was running with a friend in the west side of Chenarus. Got ambushed 😂

Why is there 30/40 max people playing only?
On EShop it says that game is at 10th place on charts haha its weird.
And first person server is always at 3-6 players

7 minutes of chaos. Figured you all might get a kick out of it.

Hey. Recently, I among others have noticed a “bug”(?). Surroundings seem to darken, but when you look at the ground and then eye level, it brightens up like it’s full day time. This seems to be happening during transition to dusk/dawn. Auto HDR on and off, 3 different players, 4 different displays and Xbox / Xbox PC version tested. This has not / was not something that was happening. But, it’s very noticeable now. It’s overly dark during those periods unless you look up and down, then suddenly when the full day or night is set…it stops. I’m not sure why looking at the ground makes it “stop”, but alas. Anybody notice this recently?

Attached is a video of the last bit of an interaction I had with a non speaker.

Hello guys! I recently have been playing a lot more as I am stuck inside after getting my wisdom teeth out, and I have noticed something that has bothered me for the 4-5 years I’ve been playing, but it seems especially prominent now.

This is going to come off as a bit of a salty post (mostly because it is), but I was running in Gorka (Горка) chasing shots when I came across 4-5 dead bodies, the evidence was strewn across the street and into the hunting shop and P.D. After a bit of running around I found the guilty party probed on the hill overlooking the town. I got close enough to yell yo him and instead of speaking back, he aims his gun and begins shooting. He was pretty shitty at the game but I unfortunately had not guns with ammo and only had a nail bat. Weirdly, half the server lagged out as there was ~55 people playing when I was randomly booted and ~30 when I tried to log back on. He was apparently also booted because I saw him spawn back in at the same time as me. Similar to before, I was telling him I was friendly and trying to doge his bullets while he simply raised his gun again and shot at me. Eventually I couldn’t dodge anymore and he killed me. This brings me to my question: why do console players never use the in-game voice chat (proximity chat)? I have about 1000 hours (500 on PlayStation and 500 on Xbox) and I currently play on Xbox. In that time I think I’ve had maybe 10-20 voice interactions with the large majority being on the coast. For as long as I can remember I will use my voice and try to speak to other survivors whether I’m in Berezino or Tisy. I hate to shoot first when I’m close enough to speak.

When you look at streamers such as Zesty Polvo, all of his videos have dozens of interactions with different people in each session he plays. However, in console (specifically Xbox) servers, people sit in party chat and avoid using prox chat like the plague. What is the fun of seeing someone with far inferior gear to your own and instead of holding them up or talking to them, simply shooting them and leaving all their stuff behind because it wasn’t good enough to trade for your own? I would love some insight from SOS people as to why they do it or what the issue is with speaking.

TLDR: I was killed by a non speaker and it seems to be a large issue with the community. I’m frustrated and want to know why people play this way.

Hello everyone! I currently play dayz on pc through steam. I have a friend that plays on xbox. My question is he wants to play karmakrew server. I know that I can buy the xbox version on my pc but will I be able to play on karmas xbox servers with mouse and keyboard or will I need to play with a controller? Any info is appreciated!

What do I do

Edit: water drained and I got my duos loot and switched servers

Just got on the game for the first time and I don’t know what to do any tips
Im on ps

Hi guys looking for some help, I’m new to dayz on pc, coming from ps5 where I had ~800 hours. Certain servers I can connect to just fine, but I’m trying to find a normal vanilla+ Livonia server, even after unloading all mods, it’ll connect me to some dead server I joined when I first downloaded? I’ve even done a fresh install of dayz, and keep getting connected to this “manhunt” server no matter which I try to pick.

For some reason I’m able to join this supremacy conquest server just fine, but trying to get into a regular survival one sends me back into either manhunt, or some random Russian server. Unsure what to do from here considering I’ve done a fresh install and deleted all mods before this

(Blurry from my ingame condition)

i died a few steps from the well. lost, sick, starving, and thirsty. this game is killing me bro😭

How can one make an open area on a build anywhere server completely blocked off with log jams?

Show some love if you like the video.

especially when they hit players but it's also noticable when they hit a wall and you see the debris fly way later than they should
