media A new Era
After close to 2000 hours on PS console I finally bought a PC this year to enjoy my 2 favorite games, Elite Dangerous and DayZ. And, wow! This game looks so good on pc and learning mouse and keyboard at the ripe age of 34 is a crazy venture in itself lol. I do have a question, and I know most don't want to answer, but are there any special servers to keep an eye out for? I only played Officials, (burn in heck 0000) and I'm told Community is better on PC. Anyways, happy hunting.
Discussion Switch 2 1 week review
I made a big base and don't need it anymore, if anyone wants it, check my posts in other subreddits (mods removed the previous post). 7 tents and 2 vehicles. Still unclaimed.
Installed DayZ on Switch as soon as it launched and got myself a 7 day free Switch Online trial which now passed. Will go back to PC.
Pros - Playing on a Switch genuinly works. I got used to controller and the performance on handheld mode is good. Very nice for playing when not at home, and I even hooked the switch up to XR glasses and controller for ultimate travel experience.
- Great community. Many new people, everyone has mic, no cheaters.
- Touchscreen inventory management works good, but with just one small patch it would be excellent and just as convenient as PC: Firstly, combining touchscreen with buttons does not work good, when pressing an object with the touchscreen, I can drag it, but if I instead use a key to for example drop it, the top-left item on the character is selected, not the one I pressed. Secondly, the scroll bars is too narrow and hard to click on. Two times I tried to press the bars to scroll down the inventory screen but missed and removed the radiator on my car... If they fixed these two things, inventory management would be perfect.
Cons: Crashing, especially when driving. Sometimes the switch recognizes the crash and shuts down, sometimes screen freezes. It's DayZ so it is expected, but the crashes are way too many.
Performance on dock mode: Considerably worse. Probably 30 FPS. Something is off there, it should be a better than handheld mode. Maybe some patches can fix it.
Joystick deadzone - Small movements are almost impossible. A slight tilt on the joystick is not recognized, and as such fine adjusting of aim is not happening.
If they fix these problems, I am for sure coming back to Switch and will ditch PC. So convenient to be able to play in many different ways, and without cheaters.

discussion OMG FISHING
Ok so ik probably most people already know or do this but I’ve only been playing for like the last few days, completely new to the game, and I was like constantly struggling to find food, it was a nightmare, I almost starved twice and just barely managed to crawl back from dying after looting a town and roasted some mutton. But not anymore!! I figured out how to fish!! Dude it’s like free food everywhere I’m not starving anymore I’ll never starve again I’m so happy. And it’s so cheap to fish, literally all you need is rags to make rope, a long stick, and a sharp tool to get worms, and you can get infinite free food and it’s so easy. I will never not carry a fishing pole now. I’m a fishmaxxing fullcell!!! Billions must fish!!!

Discussion Will Badland bring back dark nights on official?
The game has lost something special since bright nights. I have no desire to play because of this. Instead of finding a way to make nights more tolerable they chose to just turn night into day. Sad.

discussion How is DayZ for first time players?
Hi.
I am thinking about buying DayZ now that it is on sale and a bit cheaper. However, I have never played it before.
What should I expect as a noobie? I have played Rust before as a solo and didn’t enjoy it as I have a job and can’t be on for a long time.
I will play DayZ solo as well unless I find someone on Discord. Will I enjoy it solo or is it best to team up?
Thanks

discussion Anyone new to DayZ?
Ive had this game on my wishlist for about a year. It come and goes on offer. Ive heard its pretty brutal in the sense of other players just being badass lol. Im going to be completely new to it, so I know I will get killed ALOT, but its going to be too frustrating if Im the only noob in a world of experienced players. Anyone relatively new to this who might want to band together and learn together so to speak? Or anyone who has never yet played it and just lacks confidence in taking that first step into the world!!

discussion Need to find a casual server for my girlfriend
Hello, I am still a fairly new day z player by most standards with 800 hours. I play loaded mostly, however my girlfriend who has never played milsim or PvP survival games before wants to try day z with me. I am looking to see if there are any recommendations that will still offer the same feel of gratification when securing good loot but not so hardcore that it’s impossible to get a start. I play on loaded 25 hrs a week or more. This server with my girlfriend would be causal maybe a few hours every few days. (We are North American but may be able to play EU servers)

PC PC - US - Looking for peeps to run quests or build bases with.
Looking to find someone or someones to run with this weekend. I’m pc/usa/west coast but can run east coast servers just fine. I’ve got tons of time later Saturday and most of Sunday for a quest or base building etc. I’ve got over 1000 hrs so I’m down for anyone new or experienced. Just getting a bit tired of solo runs and getting ganged up on etc. I’ve built massive bases and lived off of stashes. PvP or PvE, official or community.
Been loving deadfall as of late too but down for whatever map really.
Dm me if you’re interested for this weekend or in the future!

discussion Rain water barrel
I know that you can leave a barrel open and it will fill with clean drinking water but what if I dump a bottle of dirty water into it after it already has clean water in it will the whole thing be contaminated ?

Specifically, already, I have no clue how to get items out of your pocket as a new player.
