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

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

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.

I'd really like more info as to why this is taking so long to implement. Is there detailed info out there at all? As far as i am aware the Xbox Series already has their native version of DayZ up and running. Why is it taking so long on Playstation?

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.

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?

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

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".

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?

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.

Not going to say what server, but jeez

i was trying to go to zeleno but i heard this noise when going near a house, can anyone tell me what it is? I'm scared someone is in here with me

So with DayZDiag_x64.exe (The Diagnostic/Debug exe in your game folder) can literally just launch with -XBOX or -PS4 or -MSSTORE launch args and it loads that platform's controller UI. fully working. no bugs, no missing menus, even mod menus like trader UIs just work with a controller automatically. it's literally BAKED into the engine UI/widget system.

so why the hell can't we use it on Steam?

turns out it's not even a controller problem, controller input already works fine on PC. it's purely a UI lockout, you're just stuck with whatever menu matches the platform you launched under. MS Store I get, they can't do launch args so there was never a reason to build a switch for it.... but Steam? Steam has full launch arg support already, it's literally how mods work (-mod=@whatever). there's no excuse.

all they'd need to add is something like a -Controller launch arg and Steam players get the same UI that's already sitting there working perfectly on console. instant win for anyone on Deck/ROG Ally/Legion Go or just playing from the couch.

feels insane this hasn't been touched when it's basically already done. theres more details on the tracker, go upvote if this annoys you as much as it annoys me

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 .

And if they do does it affect night brightness? Last few days i've logged on to check the night brightness but its been "waning gibbous" each time i check, i will continue to check over the next few weeks to see if i notice any change, But if anyone just outright knows for a fact and can tell me and possibly even link a YT vid or something showcasing i would appreciate it, Any info i find online was from the dayz mod and nothing is up to date and the AI answer is just wrong.

Also does weather affect night time brightness still?, if its clear w/ no clouds is it brighter than if it was overcast raining/foggy, I know last time i played night was super dark and i had to use my glowstick/sky to navigate which was very immersive and atmospheric.

Not trying to stir up any controversy just trying to get an answer quicker than waiting weeks testing myself lol.

Hi, Aus player here. Apologies to the mods if this is against rule 1. but I'm not advertising, genuinely just curious as to what I'm seeing.

I've come back to the game after about 2 years and my server brower is filled up with this almost completely full "top player" servers all with the same title, I can find absolutely nothing about them online and when I joined one, it seemingly changed my ingame language to Chinese and loaded me in.

Extremely suspicious and wondering if any other players have come across these servers and whether they are legit?

Ive come across several tents and I want to "unpack" them so I can take them with me, but I see no option to do it?! Does anyonee else have the same problem or am I just unlucky with the positioning of the tent?
