Do you keep getting redirected to same server ?

Its because u joined it once, it loads redirect mods to force you back to that server.

Go to the mods tab in DayZ , one by one right click and unsubscribe to all of them, or go to steam community workshop https://steamcommunity.com/app/221100/workshop/

When you click on the workshop near the top you will see ( your items ) click that and unsubscribe
from all mods there,

Then go to https://dayzsalauncher.com/ download and install that server browser and launcher.

Or go here to find a server https://dayzmetrics.com/ and copy the server ip and server port and open dayz go to servers ... click the direct connection button , and input the server you found ip and port and connect.

Any server over 127 players is faking player count and there is only a handfull that ever even hit that high

  • If you are ADVERTISING a DayZ SERVER don't forget to provide crucial info like Country, Platform, IP, Mods, Name, Description, Playstyle and Rules.

Discussion Is this the luckiest spawn in DayZ history?

59 Upvotes

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.

console Anyone else think Karmakrew is over hyped on console?

20 Upvotes

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….

Discussion 1000 hours and I'm still terrible need tips from the vets

Upvotes

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 ?

He's not wrong, I don't think you can have an "end game" that justifies the time taken toy get there, doesn't mean the journey can't be fun.

Discussion Finally made to NWAF

Upvotes

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.

discussion Fair trade?

7 Upvotes

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

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

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!
