This what exactly what I’m gonna do when badlands comes out play each map with real life seasons

I've never posted here before and I'm still new to the game. Anyway I just got through looting a town and realized I was running back towards the coast. I started looking around in that area, then I look back at the town I looted and it had a red glare over it. I started recording even after the flare disappeared. I thought it was a player screwing around. After a while I stopped recording.

I started again when I heard the sound and saw the gas. A mistake that saved my character. If it came two minutes earlier it would have dropped on me. I saw a lot of cool stories here and I just wanted to add mine too.

i am extremely new to this game, i think i had less than 20 hours when i recorded this.

my friend had loaded in and died almost immediately, so i waited around 5 minutes before i joined. when i finally loaded in i found someone looting my friend's body so i killed him, but when i went to reload my gun i died instantly.

Every death is an education. I’m not even pressed. Enjoy the fresh cooked food mate.

Is it normal to get way more nervous when a town is half-looted than when it is completely empty?

I’m still pretty new to DayZ, and this is honestly one of the hardest parts of the game for me mentally. When I enter a town and every door is open, I usually assume someone already came through and left. But when only some doors are open, there are dead infected near one house, random ruined clothes on the floor, and food missing from just a few places, I start overthinking everything. It feels like someone was interrupted, or heard something, or is still close by.

Then I stop looting normally and start checking windows, listening for footsteps, closing doors behind me, and wondering if I should even stay there. Half the time I’m probably scaring myself over nothing, but the other half feels like I’m walking into someone else’s unfinished situation.

Do other players get this too, or is this just a new player thing?

What is the best way to act in those situations? Do you leave the town, clear buildings slowly, wait and listen, or just keep looting and accept the risk?

Aperantly, for some reason, there is a 5.56 bullet model inside the action of the AK-74.

If whoever shot me at the airfield last night is here I want you to know it pissed me off so much uninstalled the game and I hope you stub your toe on a Lego.

I usually play official but want to avoid cheaters, im looking for a modded servers that isnt crazy modded. Preferably with highish pop and a good active moderation team, any recommendations?

Was up at tisy and got shot at by a duo, on my way out I stumbled across a vehicle and to teach them a lesson I decided to blow up their car. Thanks for the dmr mag and the steak boys x

Ever since the last update, there are people god moding in every single official server. Game is unplayable at this point.

I’m in konopki trying to get water. As I crouch up to it to avoid zombies I see a bear in the middle of the street. So I said yea not going that way. I turn around and crouch out of the town, agro one zombie, then run into 2 more zombies. Once I start to fight I hear “RAWRR” in my head I’m like o shii. So I got to running. That wasn’t working so I juss laid on the ground and took the beating (shoutout yt reel). 3 zombies and a bear attacking me I thought im dead for sure, nope woke up and lost my friendly brass knuckles. At this point I said lemme head north to continue my mission. Made it about 50 yards up the street and ran into a player we fought I won and now I’m low health. After I get done looting him a pack a wolves came outta nowhere, no howls or nothing straight action. Kill them and 45 mins later at a crash heli I die to a freshie with a ak or m4. The series of events that happened was crazy. 😭😭🤦🏽‍♂️

Its me or in the last days since the update 1.29 was release i have been killed in some weird ways. They rushed to me even im not making any noise. Right now i just spawn and i have already a guy rushing to me. Someone notice the hackers are back? Im have been playing on community servers like spaggies green/blue, karmakrew and clash vanilla.

Possible hacker or just insane snipers?

Hey everyone,

I wanted to get your opinion on something that happened to my group.

The language in the Video is german. You maybe wont notice, but three of our five people group died at the exact same time. One of my friends got unconsious with 3 cuts and a broken leg.

In the video, you'll see that three of us died almost at the exact same time, even though we were all inside three different buildings. The player who killed us was also quite far away, which makes the whole situation seem extremely suspicious.

We're not trying to accuse anyone without proof, but this honestly felt almost impossible from our perspective.

Has anyone experienced something similar before? Do you think this could have been a hacker, or is it actually possible for a sniper to pull off shots like this legitimately?

I'd really appreciate your thoughts. Thanks!

My friend and I have about 20 hours each on dayz been playing on the Northman server before the wipe. What’s a decent modded server with sleeping bags ? Any help or anybody down to play with us lmk. We suck and are new but love the game. I learned never get mad at a death everything seems to be borrowed .

Hard to come up with a title for this but it's a persistent thought I've been having while playing for the last few months, and it comes from the realisation I guess we all come to eventually. You could literally be tens of metres from another player: over a ridgeline, at the other end of a town, and never see each other or be aware of the other. It's kinda why I love this game. I could be alone, or I could be within 600m of 3 other people, all of us oblivious to the others. I've been the one watching from the woodline, sneaking around is how I prefer to play. Which leads me to my thought, and I can't imagine I'm the only one having considered it.

I would love some kind of way to just spectate a full server.

Now I know there's a whole bunch of issues there with people spotting for their friends actually playing the server. Frankly there's no good way to even approach handling it. That said, I would watch the shit out of this sort of thing. You can fly your camera around the map, able to see a little icon that marked the players, both on a map and hovering in the world. You could just hover over a player, watch how they play, watch what they do, then zoom off to someone else who's having a completely different experience. The main draw would be watching as players start coming together, seeing if they are aware of each other, how they react, seeing the gunfight from above.

I could watch this sort of stuff all day, I'd find it endlessly fascinating. Watching streamers is great, but it's not this spectating random players. It would give insight into where people go, how they play, what they do/don't notice about their surroundings. Is that one player who happens to be alone in their quarter of the map playing as if they're alone, or are they sneaking around worried about every bush, despite nobody being within kilometres of them.

Like I said, there's so many reasons this doesn't work. Friends in discord directing friends, people "spectating" their server to see where people are stashing stuff. It's not practical. I'm not under the delusion this could ever happen at scale. I guess server admins might be able to do this? I'm not sure the sort of stuff admins can do as I've never looked into hosting.

Just a random DayZ wish I know will likely never get fulfilled,and wondering if I'm alone in this.

Edit, for clarity: I'm absolutely not saying this should be a thing, or wanting it to be a thing. I can't overstate in this post how much I know this doesn't work: stashes, streaming locations to players in the server. Quite a few people have replied to say "it's not possible". Politely: I know. This was just a discussion on how interesting people would or wouldn't find it. "I wish this was doable, but it never would be".

just curios
