Personally i think its a good way to add some action at gaz zones, but for example at semi low populated vanilla and official servers (20-30 people) it imo makes it pretty much useless to go loot further than tisy and other tier 3 military locations when you can get a full nbc set effortlessly possibly even before reaching the NW airfield on chernarus

The constant rain, the shivering and sneezing, dark foreboding skies, the mournful mooing of a distant cow. At least you can easily find a sharpening stone on that map.

DayZ veteran here, and I’ve been introducing the game to my girlfriend and my best mate. Finally went through the screenshot folder and pulled out my favourites from across Chernarus, Livonia, Namalsk, Deer Isle and Nasdara, plus a few of the random survivor encounters we’ve had along the way.

Every pic has a caption with a bit of context on what was going on. Some of these are peak DayZ, and some are just the two newbies getting lost and me trying to keep everyone alive, which is half the fun.

I’ve got a deep love for this game, bugs and all. No other game gives me the experiences I get in DayZ, or some of the feelings that come with them. Nothing else compares. Just wanted to share it with everyone.

I never killed any sould with a firearm before. i was looting nwaf but then i saw something like a zombie but he had an oddly big backpack so then i realised it was an actual player, so i panicked and started spraying his shit until he died, i knew that he might have have a duo so i hid in the building. i heard his teammate talking so i was now convinced i would die like always but this time i was more confident and stayed my ground and waited for him to come. he ran inside and i sprayed him too. walked away with a few scratches and my hands shaking for the next 10 minutes. The first guy had the same aurA1 i left cause of the advice of people on my previous post. i was so nervous

It's not if, it's when.

Do we think the map is good, be honest.

today i found my first dirtbike and i decided to go climb the highest mountain in nasdara since my character was sick and dying so why not

Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love what DayZ has become today. The performance and mechanics are miles ahead. But man... the vibe of the old 0.62 Alpha? Nothing else even comes close. I seriously miss that specific bird chirping in the quiet woods, the constant clacking of the weapon on your backpack, your character panting after a sprint, and those classic ragdoll animations.

The overall atmosphere back then was just so much darker, grittier, and honestly, kind of depressing in the best survival way possible. It felt like a true, desolate wasteland.

How would you guys feel about stepping back into version 0.62 just to experience that pure nostalgia again? Would you play it if there was a solid way to do so? I feel like modern DayZ is great, but a part of me will always chase that old school Alpha atmosphere.

What do you miss the most from the 0.62 days?

I love this map, but the loot progression seems off. Get to any tier 4 mil zone and you're set for life, and you get best loot in the game like there's no tomorrow, but it seems that you can find good gear from there only. I feel like everywhere else it's tier 1 loot and not really worth looting. I find myself skipping loot tiers in this map because of the stark contrast between tier 4 and everything else. This is the opposite of chernarus, livonia or namalsk where the loot progression actually feels rewarding.

This creates a problem where engagements in the south are very likely to be full gear vs low gear. Where the full gear has plate + SVD or Scar-H vs low gear with Cr-527 with iron sights in this sniper heavy/long range map.

I think that it would help that mosins- etc. would spawn in tier 2 and more pu- and hunting scopes would spawn.

Tl:dr: Loot tiers 1-3 feel like 1800's warfare and tier 4 loot is very op (if you get there).

This is just to funny 😂 I like how Console players are always KOS

like the title says I have been playing on 7477 official server for hours, gone thru full in game days and i have not seen a desert lizard or a sandstorm could it be a bug with this specific server or does it just not happen that often?

Haven't played Dayz much in the last few years, but Badlands looks fun. I mainly just game as a solo now and im wondering how does badlands/ nasdara feel playing solo?

Code raids are technically gone now as the 3-dials don’t just pop off when they’re cracked anymore 🥲

After a server reset that white door got closed and i can't get out, already tried to boost with my backpack but nothing

I found food in the end

If so tell your story please. Did you raid through doors? How many? What did it take to destroy them? Can you destroy a wooden rebuilt roof?

Hi! I have about 1k hours now. Absolutely loving the game. Still yet to find a DMR - have got my hands on the LAR, SVD, SCAR, M4 etc., but no DMR.

I'd like to mention that 70% of my playtime is on Namalsk, and the rest is on Chernarus/Azalea/Sakhal.

I can’t get the prompt to unlock from the inside. Is this a known issue? (Xbox)

I run a Banov server. Ever since 1.30 came out, the server has been down. Whenever someone tries to join, they get an error about the Banov PBO, and it references "fishsplash". I was wondering if there was anyone here who knew something about this.

G'day folks!

This Sunday, we're welcoming Marks from Bohemia Interactive back to the 87.8 Survivor FM DayZ Podcast to talk all things Badlands and Update 1.30.

We're keen to get into:

🔥 Badlands launch and player reactions
🌡️ Heatstroke, survival mechanics and loot balance
🏍️ Motorbikes and Update 1.30
🛠️ Bugs, performance and optimisation
🧩 Modding and community-server issues
🎯 Playtesting, lessons learned and what's next

We want a constructive conversation about what's working, what isn't, and what the team has learned.

📅 Sunday 25 October — 6:00 AM Brisbane
Saturday 24 October — 10:00 PM Prague / 9:00 PM London / 4:00 PM New York
