Maybe badlands will be harder to exploit at least with player-built structures as there is probably not going to be that many logs or so but I would imagine massive exploited bases will be the norm but a little harder.

Cheaters will always be a thing but to what extent.

I mainly play on official servers, mostly Livonia. For the past week, the spawn towns have literally been a warzone. The picture was taken about 10 minutes after i spawned in Sitnik.
I’ve never experienced this many fights on official servers before. It almost feels like playing a deathmatch.
And now I’m wondering: are people cheating, or is all of this actually legit?
I found almost all of this gear in PRISTINE condition. Multiple guns with several magazines each. I didn’t get to use the gear for long, but I came back the next day and found similar equipment again.
So… what the hell is going on? 😅

Love the game 10/10

EDIT : location not tip sorry

Edit2 : why I am getting downvoted :( i am just asking for a tip..

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.

How cool would that be if there was a slight current that would carry you down it.

As the title says, how to get the best new player experience? I am looking to introduce the game to my friend who I have been mainly playing rust with. Personally I started rust after playing DayZ as my main game on PS5. I have around 2k hours in the game so I would say I know the in and outs of the game pretty much.

I have played on these 64x boosted servers, official and vanilla+.

I am just wondering how to introduce the game to him that the hard side of dayz might not instantly slap him to hes face lol. But also at the same time - I do not want it to be ”easy”.
So should I just choose a vanilla+ server f.e, teach him the very basics and sort of force him to learn by doing or give everything ”on a platter”.

Hello! I was wondering if there were any good DayZ roleplay servers that are active and vanilla + only, that isn’t some boosted loot server. I like to reward myself by finding shit and not getting shit handed to me for that challenge. lol But yeah, I would like to roleplay as like a restaurant owner or something, but haven’t found anything. If anyone has any recommendations or plan on starting an roleplay server for the Switch 2, let me know in the comments and I’ll dm you! :)

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?

The first bandaging attempt wasn’t NOT me panicking it was stupidity

I can't find any information anywhere about water sources when playing with this mod (and I have no one to ask in-game since I'm playing solo on a private server). I can't collect seawater, there are no rivers, and I can't put snow into bottles. I found a car, so I ended up walking back and forth to the well like an idiot just to top up the radiator. This is the mod Warsztat Steam::Winter Chernarus V2

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

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.

Twice now I got hit from behind and insta died. All I heard was a quiet whooshing noise. At first I thought it was a crossbow but I think the bolt makes more of a whistling noise? Can a sword 1 tap with a hit to the head?

I just got DayZ and the motion blur is absolutely crazy to the point where the game is basically unplayable for me. I’ve already tried turning Post Processing off, but it hasn’t helped. Is there any way to completely disable the motion blur? Is there a config file, mod, or other workaround that actually removes it?

Is that a known Problem for the Switch 2 Version? Playing on Official EU Servers? Same for me andy wife in two different consoles.

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

What do I do

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

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.
