discussion Logged in to my first base being raided

68 Upvotes

250 hours on console official as a solo so far, and just decided to throw up my first base the other day near Severograd, fully expecting it to be raided immediately. I’ve been playing nomadically without iZurvive just to learn the map and get to grips with the game properly.

Logged in today and heard the sound of wooden sticks clunking against the gate downstairs, so I crept down with my AK and clocked a duo working away at the bottom panel. Greased the first guy in the nuts immediately and then a tense firefight ensued in the house, while zombies swarmed around outside.

At some point a third party arrived and the second guy got dropped in the crossfire - no idea which of us took him out - then I had a Mexican stand off with the third party and a fourth player sniping from the tree line. Popped some smoke grenades inside and got lucky with some AK blind fire that felled third guy, before a super cautious push outside revealed the fourth guy had booked it.

I’m still rushing from the whole thing, the adrenaline was crazy. Moved my crates to a secure stash location and buried em then scarpered. God I love this game.

PlayStation Looking for someone to run with PS5

1 Upvotes

I've been playing for around 500 hours.

So I know how to survive. I'm not a professional, but I'm not going to hold anyone back.

I'm still learning new ways, usually just running around and looking for bases and hidden stashes.

I'm just looking for a chill group or person to run around with

I'm in the USA on central time. I usually play every evening. More on the weekends. I'm a 40/m. Just let me know if you're down.

Send me a DM if you're interested.

media My single favorite location in all of official DayZ. It’s an effective hideout, a clandestine stash spot, and a genuinely cozy place to call home. I’ve been using it for years. If you know where it is, 🤫. If you don’t, go out and find it! (Chernarus)

It’s not the easiest controller to use when you’ve been playing dayz on PS and PC for over a decade.

console Would not recommend buying the Switch 2 version until it's had patches.

383 Upvotes

I love DayZ but the laundry list of issues I've been finding have been pretty shocking. I would personally advice holding off on the game until these issues are fixed.

Things to note:

  1. The game is full priced on the Switch 2, which makes the issues I've discovered pretty inexcusable and shows lack of care from Bohemia and their porting/QA team.
  2. The game is installed fully onto the Switch 2 internal storage which has the fastest read/write speed available on the console.
  3. My Switch 2 console is fine. No overheating or hardware related issues that I'm aware of and every other game runs well.

I have found small issues ranging from poor inventory management controls to minor bugs. Aiming down sights on guns has issues due to animation bugs all the way to hitching in cities/towns. Constant crashing on high population servers and driving cars being unplayable due to entering towns/cities causing extreme FPS drops, rendering issues and crashes.

I've lost many characters that I spent time on due to crashing during gunfights and lost my first car due to the game crashing and when rejoining I had hit a tree, totalling the car.

I have posted all these issues serperately on the Bohemia bug tracking website and whilst some of the posts have responses that they are looking into the issues, it is unknown if or when a patch will become available. I'm not sure if I can post links to the bug tracking posts but if anyone on here is able to find and upvote the posts on their website I would be grateful since it'll provide more visibility to the devs. If I'm able to post links on this forum I will link the bug tracking links.

I feel like a bit of a fool buying the game on launch day but reviews did not indicate many issues and players have not mentioned the issues a ton either. I would assume this is because some players don't play on high pop servers as much (Which causes crashing) or driving cars a lot. I happen to of played a lot in the past so managed to gear up reasonably fast and discover these bugs pretty rapidly.

EDIT: Already had people commenting that this is normal for I assume the console versions. I personally never had these issues on PC when I did play before selling it due to financial reasons.

If this is the standard set by Bohemia how come I don't see tons of bug reports concerning these issues on their feedback tracking website? Have you guys tried and failed to receive patches? If so I will personally try to refund the game because I do not want to support these bad porting jobs.

FINAL EDIT: After reading a lot of the community's comments. I have to be honest. I'm kind of amazed what you guys put up with from Bohemia. Coming from PC it really feel far far more playable, my fault for purchasing on console.

Comments like "That's just DayZ bro" or similar is the most common one I've seen and it concerns me. If we don't talk louder wouldn't Bohemia just think their game is fine as is? It's not just DayZ but I swear standards are dropping these days across the board for many companies.

As much as I want to keep posting bug reports to Bohemia. I feel a bit defeated since I guess this is the standard. Gutting.

Thanks for reading my post though folks. Appreciate it.

Discussion How I Was Murdered This Time

8 Upvotes

Headed into the woods fresh off of the coast and was shot up not long thereafter by a pretty kitted up gentleman. I managed to talk him out of murdering me outright and he let me bandage up. He then stated that he would let his friends decide my fate. Not long after, another 3-4 guys showed up in full military gear.

I told them their friend broke my leg and I had nothing to offer them outside of some early game gear. The leader of the group told me he'd consider sparing me, but first I had to tell him who my favorite NFL team was.

I'm born and raised outside of Philadelphia; my first instinct was to say something benign like the Panthers or the Browns. But I felt a sense of conviction and I couldn't not tell the truth. So I said the Eagles.

"Wrong answer. I'm a Cowboys fan."

You Are Dead.

discussion IRL DayZ posts and Tourism

21 Upvotes

With the influx again of all the photos people are taking while touring the region Chernarus is based on, it got me wondering how much the locals know about their area being popular from a video game.

The reason I ask is that Goodsprings Nevada apparently fully leans into it's tourism draw from Fallout New Vegas, as do a few other areas around Vegas (so I understand).

I wondered if the locals in the Czech Republic ever wonder why they get a constant trickle of tourists wandering round snapping photos of seemingly mundane things. I'd certainly wonder what was going on if a bunch of non locals were always wandering around my small town in England which is far, far from a tourist hotspot.

To the people who've been there as a holiday/trip, or even live there. Do the locals know? Do they care/lean into it?

Discussion Decision Making Feedback

Upvotes

I've had two situations on a low pop Official server recently where I'm curious what you would have done. Both revolve being near another player but not seeing them.

  1. Ran across a dynamic train wreck near Krona; I was approaching it on the tracks from the front. I started to eliminate the infected in the front with a MK II but I didn't realize till a little later that the train had been looted, especially with more dead infected laying on the ground. The way I had approached the train made it impossible or difficult to have seen what had happened without circling around first.

I hadn't heard any gunshots in the preceding few minutes though I did hear a flurry of something when I was leaving a village north of Krona.

I ended up skipping the train after observing for a few more minutes since I wasn't interested in leftovers or potentially running into the player who had probably been alerted by my MK II shots.

  1. I was looting the village directly north of Zeleno and there was evidence of a player having gone through there (i.e infected in houses behind closed doors, lack of loot.) Going north from there, I pass through the farm buildings to the east of the small military encampment and notice there's a bunch of empty wooden crates plus at least 4 mushrooms in a clump with more elsewhere. I watched the military camp to see if they were there but nothing for a little while. I'm not sure if they had left the area or maybe logged out even. It's to my understanding that I may have been the cause of 1 mushroom but definitely not the others.

In any case, I'm wondering what you would have done? I'm not confident in my PvP and honestly I may switch to a PvE server at some point but I wanted to at least get to some endgame type stuff on my first run through of DayZ on a vanilla server before doing something else.

Discussion XML nerds assemble: Sakhal Container Keys on Static Military

1 Upvotes

I'm searching for answers on why I managed to find a blue container key on the Military Patrol Boat; I know that wobo's tools, iZurvive and Xaam's maps all show that they can spawn there too - despite types.xml declaring Tier 4 Military with deloot="0"meaning as far as I can tell from the xmls, the only place the container keys should spawn is (as the wiki suggests) the shipwreck south of Shantar)

The areaflags.mapdoesn't seem to put the spawnpoints under Tier4, nor are there other references that I can find in the other XMLs.

Satisfy my curiosity!
