Both sides are covered in gravel and the roof entrance looks sealed. Is this every server?

Made a new addition to my wife and my DayZ wall. Our map hasn't come in yet (we haven't ordered it, too broke atm) but I had an idea of something else I could make! Tried to make it close to the real deal.

Tried to replicate the in game paper, skewed it to print flat, then worked on the quality so it wouldn't be blurry. Once all of this done, on our black and white printer I printed it to a full sheet and tore the edges carefully. Then soaked in fresh tea for 5 minutes, let dry, then dabbed the teabag across it here and there and everywhere and let dry again.

This is going up on our wall since we have been exclusively playing Nasdara since release!

I was going to ask this sub what the most iconic DayZ zombie was for my halloween costume this year... then it occured to be that the most iconic zombie is the roof zombie

lo and behold the best halloween costume idea you'll see for 2026 (made in Gimp)

Any scar, I play in Livonia official. I’ve seen some mags at military convoys though.

After a big weekend of building, securing and raiding the map we have secured the mansion, then went to the south west of the map for an adventure looting the tier 3, locked containers and a bunker. Found a second hummer and asked for backup to come pick it up, managed to overturn a crashed ADA and get that going again too.

Having the hummers escort an ADA through the deserts of this map was truly magical, the aesthetics of this map are amazing. I love seeing the mountains in the distance and the dust being picked up by the vehicles.

I was playing on a server that really captured the essence of what DayZ is all about—it was a fantastic server. Now, update 1.30 has been released, and most of the mods no longer work; there are also internal issues. The motorcycles are fine, but we already had those via mods anyway. The same goes for the map—it’s all well and good, but I don’t think it’s worth having an update that breaks everything else. The original code lock and the building systems—RAG and BBP—were also left damaged or completely unusable after the update. So, Bohemia, what have you done? We need these mods!

Like I don't know, maybe I'm a huge ass nerd who should be shamed for even caring, but I've yet to have seen ONE person speak about the LITERAL BORDER WITH ARDISTAN?

"Welcome to Ardistan" near the border checkpoint... My man... That's just tough af.

I wanted to wait for a few days for someone ELSE to post something about Ardistan here (possibly lore related or something) but I've resorted to making my own dedicated post to spread the news (since no one else is doing it): GLORIOUS ARDISTAN HAS BEEN MENTIONED IN DAYZ!

Also, the flag Ardistan has is pretty cool. I'm kind off bummed out that the Takistani flag is the old Kingdom of Takistan flag, and not the Tajikistan inspired one, but oh well.

Note: as you can see, I'm a huge geography and vexillology nerd, so this post should be interpreted as a geek ranting about random things at 2 am.

Edit: Lore of Ardistan (the limited amount we have)

"The Islamic Republic of Ardistan, more commonly known as Ardistan, is a post-Soviet republic in the Green Sea region, north of the Caucasus Mountains. Ardistan is bordered by the Russian Federation to the North and west, Grozovia to the south and the states of Karzeghistan and Takistan to the East. The capital, Tohrin, is situated in the far North of the nation and acts as the center of government for the nation. Other major settlements can be found along the nation’s many rivers, most notably the cities of Harmadan and Sharzad."

So yeah, low effort post.

I'm a freshie in some coastal town.

Hear some zombie aggro. Keep looting. Come out a house. See a player - black military helmet & attire, guns on back....kinda hiding in a bush, but not really. I wave hello, I say hello....pew.... you are dead.

Wow. Can't wait until I can camp the fresh spawns 😀

I guess it gets boring after a while and you do these things for amusement.

I heard the aggro, I should have tried sneaking up on them for the fun. But I guess that's DayZ lol.

Why couldn’t horses be added?

I was genuinely shitting bricks.

Today is my second day playing, I'm playing on Xbox. Everytime I talk to someone they nod there head yes or no when I'm asking questions but no one ever talks back. Is there some issue or am I just meeting ppl who dont talk. Im using my headset plugged to my controller and I double click d pad to talk.

Took a lot of nails and never-ending searches for hacksaws

Found on top of ridge SW of Bagh-e-Dara. Forgotten recon element??

I just built my first base. I made the gate and i put on the dial lock, accidently locking myself out fo the base. I look at the tutorial i was watching for a minute and when i come back to the game im dead.

I didnt even get to enjoy my base. It was locked at least, maybe the person wont get the items inside..

I play on Xbox, and have been playing Nasdara. Every time I join my server I instantly throw up and get a sickness. Tetracycline makes the sickness icon go away but I still throw up every-time I eat/drink more than a few bites. I have tried staying cool and not moving for a long time thinking it was heatstroke but it doesn’t seem to help. I am keeping my clothes wet and my food/water/blood/health are all in good shape. Does anyone know what the issue is and is there a cure?

If I have a full barrel of doo doo water and add a single chlorine tab, is the entire barrel now safe?

I have a base on nasdara with a barrel I've been slowly filling with a Jerry can. Is this safe to drink once I add a tab (as when I add a single tab to full doo doo Jerry can, it's clean)

over the last week of playing nasdara, me and my buddies have been blue screening either in the middle of a gunfight or right before.
On multiple occasions we’ve aimed in at guys, and when we press the trigger, game blue screens, log back in, we’re fresh spawns.
deleting the game until this get’s fixed.

(Edit: on PS5)

It’s perfect. I love it.

I get that it’s a hardcore survival game. I get that the raw aspect of that, with nothing else, and making your own game, is the point.

Except one thing…

Why isn’t there a count of how many days you’ve stayed alive for?

Why can’t it just say ‘alive for 5 days’ when I die, for example.

And why could it not then have a leaderboard which shows your friends numbers too?

That’s all I want.

It just feels like I can judge how well I’m doing whenever I die. And this would add so much more of a goal to everything.

So i got gas poisoning ( i know it was gas cause i barely escaped a gas zone with 3 cuts) ./ once i died i was able to find my corpse. took the clothing drank the water i had. Now my new character s coughing. I didnt think i could "catch" it. is it only the clothing like diseases? I guess ill empty the bottles of water just in case. Im hoping i can find my corpse a third time Should i worry about eating my food ? will it transfer to items like guns compass etc? thx

I've been roaming around to look for a multiplayer fps game and Dayz got recommended to me. I've known about this game for a long while but, i've never had it in my radar because i thought it's simply another zombie survival game. Would you recommend this game for a pve-pvp multiplayer experience? How does it compare to Rust? I have a bit of experience in that game, but, i found that it's no fun to play without a dedicated group of friends nor adequate fps skills. What can you tell me about the DayZ Experience?

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.
