  1. I know I'm going to get hate for this, but I feel like I need to vent about this update. First off let me say I play on UK420 Vanilla+. Trains: Why remove them? It was legit the only reasonable way to find padlocks. Castles are almost always blocked off so you cant even get into the places w/ the loot spawns, so how am I supposed to find them now? And even if the spawns aren't covered by a base, all those wonderful empty tin cans are in the place of a possible padlock spawn. Screws: Honestly why? What's the point of sheet metal now? Not like you can't get any of that anymore b/c there's no trains anywhere. Changelogs w/ loot in military buildings: By what I've seen, there has been no change whatsoever. The best weapons that I'm finding is still an AK or an M16. What ever happened to the good old days when you could find a DMR in a barrack? With barracks w/ loot tables such as the current ones, there's no point in going to NWAF or any of the military places anymore b/c you know you won't find anything high tier. 1.8.8 was a great update, but 1.8.9 killed basebuilding in most regards. This patch has surely made me almost quit the mod for good.

    Any Vanilla DayZ Servers Left?

    Bump all good suggestions! Keep them coming.
  4. Hey guys! I recently started to play the DayZ mod again, however, things have changed since I have played. I can't find just a simple DayZ Vanilla server left out there. The only one with high traffic that I know of right now is US 3480, but this servers has recently went down. I don't want any of this "self-bloodbag","400+Vehicle" BS. I just want a regular vanilla server like the good ol' days. If any of you guys have suggestions for any of these types of servers I would love to hear them, because right now I can't play my favorite zombie-survival MMO without all this useless crap private hives have put into the game. Please put the server name into your comment as well. Thanks!

    .42 New Weapons: Good or Bad?

    I don't understand why you had to change this seemingly simple question thread into a flame war.

    .42 New Weapons: Good or Bad?

    Mostly military jail buildings. Wherever FNX mags spawn is where those mags spawn :D
  7. Hey everyone! I recently picked up some of the new weapons in patch .42. I really enjoy playing with them, because each weapon has its own strategy and tactics on how to effectively use them. My favorite so far is the Amphibia S because of its silent capabilities of taking out the dead and the occasional annoying server hopper. The same goes for the .22 Sporter. So my question to the community is: What's your thoughts on the latest weapons?
  8. Whenever I try starting up DayZ on steam, I get an error message of the following: Bad animation file format in folder 'dz/anims/data/anim/sdr/mov/knl/stp/ras/non/cdzpamovpknlmstpsraswnondnon_hands.rtm' Just updated to the latest patch not sure if that has anything to do w/ this. Anyone know a fix? Not a computer genius so I rely on the fellow community for help Many thanks!

    Why DayZ is no survival game

    So you care about DayZ, but yet don't care about DayZ, but you somehow still care about DayZ?

    Why DayZ is no survival game

    Wayze, so far what you have done in this entire thread has deflected/ignored quality answers to make it seem that your OP is the right solution to the problem. You're bashing those who think negatively upon your thoughts. Take a second and actually listen and respond fairly and respectfully to their post.

    Why DayZ is no survival game

    This quote right here bothers me. People who believe that they can just evade an hour of hardwork by just killing themselves to get to somewhere shows that you're in impatient player, and if you haven't noticed yet, the standalone requires loads of patience. If you don't have the patience to run 10km, why are you playing this game? This came up to me in the game a few days ago when my friend and I were up at Kransnostav by the airstrip. My other friend, who is rather skilled at this game, is down in Balota, and we needed to meet up with him. Being the nice guy that I am I told him he only had to go to Cherno, and that we would go the rest. So my friend and I at the airstrip, who happened to have an M4, mosin, and 2 FNX pistols, had a decision to make to meet him there. At the time, I didn't measure how long of a trip that would be. We followed the road down to Rify and followed the coast there. That entire run, which I figured out was around 12.2km in length took us around 45-60 minutes to complete. If you can't do that, then don't play this game, because half the fun comes from the events that unfold along these roads, whether it would be killing the impending zombie horde or the classic players who run down a hill to say "Hi" to you. Running in this game completes it. If DayZ consisted of 3-4 cities that were 250m away from each other, that wouldn't be fun, because you're missing the open world MMO that separates this game from mainstream shooters such as COD or Battlefield. If this was the case, it would be another Battlefield 4 map or something of that nature. If you aren't patient, go play those mainstream shooters, because this game isn't right for you. At the moment, I understand that there isn't an actual "end game" scenario. Once you get geared with your nice shiny M4 or your pristine long range mosin, you then ask yourself "Well now what do I do?" The answer is pretty simple: pick your poison; should you be the fresh spawn hero, helping people where you can whenever you can, or do you become the bandit who craves more loot from your victims to survive? Both of these scenarios have their risks and their rewards, but this is what I believe is the end scenario, until you die and then start over again, which actually isn't a bad idea if you got bored. The mod itself had so much to do. After you got your weapons, you could go build a car or a helicopter. You always had the persistent need of ammunition. And you had to do this whilst trying to avoid the shot from another player that would critically injure you or kill you, and the mod was fun like that. Overall, your original post is correct and incorrect IMO. Your correct part is that you don't have anything to do once you get geared, because there isn't something that is game ending for you to pursue. If there was an objective for people to fight over or something in order to take control, like a capture point, that would be a nice solution for bandits. As for the heroes, I really don't have any idea, just keep on saving people's lives, because that makes you become recognized as a nice player, which I really do believe this game needs more of. However, where you lose me is when you present examples of people killing themselves just to move around the map, whether it would be a complaining friend who wants your help, or if you don't feel like crawling to a hospital to get your broken limb fixed. To me that shows an impatient player. Sorry if I tore into you way too much, but it's what I believe is right IMO. Good luck out there!
