We all know the gunplay is amazing in this game, but at the beggining we al have to box or fight whit melee, and even in middle and end game we all use some kind of melee weapon, but the feedback while melee figthing is awful, there has been any kind of conversation of this kind or if it would change at amy ponit, is surprising to me thath this games keep growing without some quality of life little twiks that would make it an even grater game.

I was leaving a server to go play with my friend, and when i tried loading up a new server this came up. Now i can’t join any server without it doing this. Thoughts?

just another case of admins thinking they’re god tbh Edit: Lost Island*

What if… Cooking pot + water + meat + mushroom / veg + fireplace = ÜBER HUNGER HYDRATION STEW?!?!

Increase in cook times if it’s too op?

Thoughts?

Idk if this sub likes questions about official server availability because my previous one got deleted for being low effort.

My question I cannot find answered on Google through Reddit or through forums.

Do Official Servers for Dayz have anything that works for players in Central US? All I see are "LA" & "NY". While my ping is usually 60-70 on these servers I think it tends to spike and it will kick me for unstable connection. I do not have this issue on any other game I've played over the years because they have servers close to Texas.

Is this an issue many of you guys run into who live far from the East and West coast in the States? Do you guys just play vanilla Community servers instead?

I hope this doesn't get deleted because any clarity would be helpful for me and any future player that is struggling to find an official server that is close enough to them.

My personal favorite is the Kolt 1911! I’m not sure why but this always gives me the best “end of world” vibes. I know the ammo capacity is limited but in a real apocalypse I feel like this is more realistic. Plus it looks great haha.
I also like to have a ton of stamina so I don’t usually carry multiple guns. This is always my go to fun though! Old reliable.

I need friends to teach me the ropes. These servers I’ve been in have 0 mics it seems. I need of help

Fix your game before adding more broken maps. Thanks.

As title says. Tried to place a crate underwater but the placement thingy wouldn't let me. Is this still possible and is it okay if I just drop it? Apparently if I just drop it, it won't last the 45 days and needs to be placed for that to happen. Playing on a community server so not sure if that makes a difference.

I understand a lot of people base their friendliness towards other survivors on how good/much loot they have to lose. At which point do you switch from friendly to KOS?

I’ve been shot dead instantly or from behind last 5+ plays in a row without seeing the guy. Maybe just bad form, and I do it myself and know it’s part of the game, but I would appreciate some stealth or awareness tips as it’s a bit boring not getting to at least fight back so many times in a row.

Play on mid pop official servers on console. Decent TV. Headphones.

Run with green and dark clothing, a small backpack or satchel, gun mostly out. Aim for at least 1 slot free and a third of stamina. Never lights on.

When I approach a high traffic area, like military or town, I watch from a distance for a few mins for signs of players (items, smoke, infected recently aggro, bodies, etc).

Then I enter crouch running with gun out and try to balance not setting off infected with not being in the open too long. Stealth kill if have to. Never shoot. Loot building to building, stopping to listen and look occasionally (don’t bother aiming gun round every corner unless triggered). If I aggro and need to make noise, then I go for speed to get out. Then to the woods and organise loot.

Always scout wells, keep head on swivel when filling water, and pick quiet spots to cook if I have to then get out quick.

When more remote, I avoid open spaces and run next to paths, but with guard down less than in towns.

Most of the time, is it just luck who sees who first? Any other tips for awareness or stealth? Or just ‘get good’?

I’ve only just got into pc gaming I’ve played a bit of DayZ on console but not for a long time. Just asking for suggestions on a modded server I can learn on high pop would be nice for player interaction and if anyone wants to team up and show me the ropes then that would be good. I’m from the UK so am EU server would be better. Thanks In advance.

I currently have dayz on xbox and I am thinking about also buying it on pc to play with my friends on vanilla. Is it worth it?

If I killed you on the beach north of Berezino, but just south of the light house. I’m sorry. I was desperate for food and medicine. You had neither. I shot myself moments later in guilt. I am sorry. Please forgive me.

Thinking of playing Dayz. I played a little and watched my partner play it. What are some things you like about the game? Some things you don’t? I also would play on Xbox, not sure if that makes a difference. TIA 💕

So one night I was sitting inside a house fixing my gear and just chilling in general. Suddenly I heard shooting, not too far, like 300m at most, and it went on for several seconds, almost a minute. Like tens of shots have been fired from a semi-auto rifle. But there was no return fire. And here I'm thinking, this much shooting was too much for fighting off zeds, and without return fire a firefight between several players was out of the question as well. What could be the reason for someone to just unload several full mags? Official server, vanilla, about 30/60 pop. Thanks.
