Does anyone else dream about dayz I had a horrible nightmare of getting beat up and when I woke up I almost asked my gf what town are we in 😭

Moments before those screenshots were taken, I was sniped and killed at the military base in Zeleno fully geared for mid-level. My buddy escaped. I was pissed. Respawned 15 times in the east until I finally spawned outside of a city in the south. I got some clothes and food immediately as luck would have it and started down the open road when I ran across a wrecked (but still working) car on the side of the road.

As I inspected the car, I heard flies, but I didn't see a body, which may have been under the car? I noticed in the Vicinity panel that I could scroll down more than usual. There was an SCR-17 and VS-89, and a few other items, no other substantial gear tho. I looted the weapons and ran. A few minutes later I heard a car flying down the road, assuming whoever died called their buddies to come get the gear.

So what happened here? Was the driver sniped, car wrecked from a glitch, something else? Seems like I was in the right place at the right time with a very limited window of opportunity.

Sorry for that

Anyone have any idea what these crosses mean? I haven’t been able to figure it out or find anything. Any ideas?

Like i understand they are trying to provide players with a cheat free experience that the developers can’t seem to produce and the custom poi’s is nice but….

Its just an absolute sweat fest that does not feel anything like vanilla DayZ:

105pop chenarus is just crazy, even with the boosted loot every building is just empty and there are way too many bases that the average player can do nothing about as there’s no loot to raid. Should be like 60 players max. Also you get in pvp fights constantly and it takes way too long to gear back up again due to the lack of loot.

6 week wipes is so demoralising, what’s the point of wasting your only free time making progress just for it to be wiped every 6 weeks? Yes the sweats get bored but that’s their own fault for not having a life.

There’s only 1 chenarus server on xbox which means you’re basically forced to buy priority if you want to play as the ques are constantly over 20 people at peak times.

Admins are allowed to play in the server with non-admin players and team up with them. That just seems completely wrong due to the tools they have available to them.

Discord is toxic and admins just shut down everyone’s feedback

Just feel like there are way better servers that don’t get the attention they deserve. When you hear a gun shot it should get your heart racing but on karmakrew there are players within about 500m from you everywhere so you lose the sense of survival and it just turns into a pvp deathmatch server. If i wanted that i would just play conquest….

I kind of wonder how much time I and how much time you may spend on the run scavenging town to town in order to live compared to settling down in a base and chilling inside, as for me im 80+hrs in and still have never built a shelter yet lmao

Personally I miss BK fights on the coast for an apple. What does everyone else think?

Spent 6 hours farming and tending to fires. Helped a dozen people and probably more. Went over 3 hours before a problem surfaced as the rather large group that had gathered and hung around for a few hours went their own ways, or so I thought. Being a farmer, I didn’t really care if I died, so about 20min after everyone left I was hanging around the fire after dark in the open. *Zip* You Are Dead. I respawned and made it back rather quickly. Strangely, when I got there there was a unique bag from one of the members of the group laying on the ground and mine was gone. No hard feelings, I planted more food and dropped more loot in the road. I helped a guy who was dying even after he ripped a shot at me. I brought him back to the well. He died while I was gone foraging for supplies. I suspect a zombie got him. I cooked him over the fire. I died several more times after that, I don’t care. It had started raining.

Thanks Balota. You’re the best spawn town.

Thanks for the food and bullets btw I highly needed it

(Chernarus) Followed the river north from Zvir and happened upon Krona Castle. This game never fails to leave me in awe of its beauty 🥲 What are the spots that feel the most special to you? (In any map)

Does anyone else come across other peoples stashes and try to trade? I know I may get some hate for it but I don't like just taking people's stuff.

For example, I found a guys tent and he wasn't in it so I looked at what he had. I took only half of the Tetra (had twelve I took six) and a sharpening stone (he had two) and mine was about half way gone so I left that with him as well.

I left: a soda, some canned tuna and a lighter.

He had a good amount of stuff and I could have wiped him out but I don't like that style of gameplay. I've only been playing for a few days and wonder if it's just because I'm new? (Not new to survival games though)

I also found a house that the doors were locked and I broke in, after realizing someone locked the doors for a reason I left them a pink teddy bear in front of the door (inside) I doubt they'll ever see this post but I hope it have that person a chuckle 🤭 I didn't look around in the house as I got scared and left

So I've been playing for just over 1000 hours now and while I've had some kills it's certainly nothing crazy I have no issues with the survival mechanics or looting it's always the PvP 😂 I frequently end up in 2v1s or have people who just seem to know where I am even when I'm silent and haven't agro'd and Zs I play a fair bit of KK servers and just can't get a break recently.

As soon as I'm in a popular loot area chances are I'm getting domed and I get it it's all part of the game I'd just like to be doing abit more of the doming 😂 any other semi experienced players have this and anybody have any PvP tips for a long term noob ?

Edit : great responses from all much love to my fellow survivors I will say the thing I love about this game is with every death you realise what you should of done to prevent the death. So I guess more patience + more deaths = more dangerous survivors GG all and happy surviving ! I will be spending much more time flanking around loot spots from a distance before entering. 💥

Ok so police stations in costal towns are now completely useless to find guns?

Im finding more guns in pubs and barns.

Anybody else?

About an hour before this i got back to base to grab some stuff after dying and then he went to a heli crash and a couple minutes later I heard a shot and he said he died so I pulled up around 10 minutes after he died and somehow saw these guys

I’m pretty new to dayz, but came over here after trying the reforgedz mod and I figured stand alone would be much better and it is!

So I could only ever get myself to NEAF and last time I was there a duo came up on me while I was in the building and I started spraying them with ammo. Once I had missed all my shots and emptied all my mags I said “friendly friendly friendly!” And one of them responded they were friendly and somehow we started running together. They had actually planned to kill me but one was having mic problems and they only had chamber loaded weapons. So I joined their discord and went with them to NWAF. First time at NWAF but we did ok until we ran across the runway and one of our guys got killed and we killed the solo that killed him. Got some sodas and hit the tree line. Our buddy respawned in berezino so his friend decided to go find him and I logged off.

It was pretty epic so I was satisfied and didn’t have the itch for a few days and I log back in to a different server and wind up in Balato or whatever on the coast SW. I shoot a zombie and these two European girls run up to me and tell me they have a garden. They took me to the “garden,” and it was like 2 plots of tomato’s. I gave them some guns and other goodies and they gave me produce. I did some looting and brought them stuff back and logged off. Few hours later I check in on them and they gave a whole farm going around the well. So many plants it was crazy I did some more looting and brought them a few more things and logged off. I came back to check on then today and the entire farm was wiped out! Not a single plant growing in the plots. Ladies, if you see this I hope you are doing well.

I am a 3000 hour guy who just had his first 20ish hours on a community server, and i am shocked how beautiful the experience can be without cheaters. you can literally have the best gear on a high pop server, hide inside a tree in a less visited area and never get spotted. lost count of how many times i got a headshot out of nowhere before.

why are community servers better at avoiding cheaters than official?

How far must you be to hear a shot then get hit ? 400 500 ? Got headshot form someone last night on official was really impressed only KOed me for a while and ruined my lid but still good shot whoever that was 😂

Just started playing, about 40 hours in. Doing well with a character, 30km traveled, low tier gear but working on better. Jumped servers to keep what I had but hit locations again for better. Searching the MB Kamensk as I did prior. Looked in a room and pop pop pop I'm dead. Lol

Anyone have issues with the vanilla launcher loading you into servers you don't select? I'll select a random server, install relevant mods and it will put me into a server from my favourites list? I may have to switch back to DZSA!

My third but second post on Sakhal Easter eggs

Any recommendations? Might pick the game up on the Steam sale and need a good home.

I raided a base in official and just changed the combo lock and rebuilt the gate. I left for an hour and when I came back everything was as I left it. But I wasn't able to remove anything from the barrels. Figured it was a glitch so I logged out and back in again. But now all the items on the barrel are gone!

Is this a known bug?

So my current set up is a SCR-17 Ive got both ATOG scopes for it, and a DMR with a marksman scope on it. I also have a VS-89 with no scope on it. I've got plenty of .308 and 7.62x54..what are y'all's opinions? Keep the DMR SCR-17 combo or swap the DMR and put the marksman scope on to the VS-89? Also where are some good sniping spots so I can get my 300m kill achievement? I'm located in the general Ratnoye area
