No wonder nobody watches your videos.

I am in the same position as you- I took a long time away and am trying to get back into it again. I couldn’t have tolerated some of the bs alone- I have some good folks to play with and it helps soften the edges a bit. But we are enjoying some things- one of our guys got killed getting in a car... another just died to a door glitch that killed him in a wall while trying to close a door behind him to block zobs. Heh. Yeah that kind of bullshit. But we got them back on their feet again and we keep on keepin on. I couldn’t play this shit alone. Good luck.

Positive is good sometimes. They haven’t implemented a car properly but we heard about a little bird a couple years ago. I think you mentioned that in another comment. I get it and don’t get me wrong I know what you’re about but I think nothing is set in stone with this title. In fact I wouldn’t be surprised if even the title changed...

All hail the true best player in DayZ.

Nope. They were still having meetings about the 2019 roadmap in mid January. That’s not how planning works... Which, at least to me, means whatever they’re calling a roadmap isn’t actually one... it’s just a set of very near term ambitions that may or may not result in anything. And we have seen this consistently over the last 5 ish years.

It’s been acknowledged- no mention of a fix though. If you arrange your server list by time sometimes you have a better chance of picking a server that’s actually what it says it is. It’s an amazingly stupid problem- but here it is.

I’m in a unique situation where I’d like to finish a video I’m shooting this morning and need a night server to shoot one last take. Currently all official servers I can see are morning / mid day... are there any you know of that are night time earlier than others? thanks.

Welcome back @BCBasher!

Broken persistence. Well known issue That is here to stay for the foreseeable future so get used to it Official servers aren’t being backed up the way they’re telling everyone else to back theirs up.

They should make a marked trail around that green mountain loop- I did that run so many times I probably wore a foot trail myself.

@Kirov (DayZ) Those elements are generally not in... colds yes. They’re probably a mini patch from being implemented... and may just be bugged so I’ve been playing it safe with clean water and cooked meat. I wear boots and take my multivits... but I do see people just eating and drinking whatever walking around barefoot. Choose your own adventure... and take things as far as you want. Enjoy the ability to cut the corners a little if you desire but know it could change and you could develop bad habits.

Respectfully Kirov- we (the HH) are focused on vanilla official public servers and our experience has been reasonable. There are things this game does better than any other... It needs work- holy does it ever- but this is literally like taking a step back to .3x or so with better, smoother graphics in most cases. Personally, that was my favourite time- this isn't true of everyone, of course. Yes- a lot of survival elements have been suspended... a lot of the customization crafting, fishing, bow hunting etc... base building isn't reliable and persistence is... well- we all know where it is. But to come back and get reacquainted with the game and its broader fine points... check out some of the new(er) map areas... I do recommend it. Put 10 hours in... yeah maybe turn a blind I to the fact that every shed has a pea coat or denim skirt in it. Maybe ignore the fact that day servers in the browser are night and nights are days and days are days and nights are nights. There are inevitably ALWAYS going to be some glitches that exhaust our patience but I think as a culture that's what DayZ loyalists have evolved adapting to... I'm happy to blab around the forums about my disappointment in how the game got to where it is right now- and sometimes it makes me feel better but there are other times, like in game last night, where I enjoy still being a part of it and I think you will too. We suffer from the fact that we rode the game to where it was 2 months ago and return to it with what feels like 80% of it stripped away but there is a whole new community of people who never experienced that and are really enthusiastic about it. So... I'm just another guy... but I do recommend you come back and give official public servers a try. Tinker with base building on a small scale and leave the mods alone for a bit.

I've got a dude on a community public server... I don't do much with him- but I think he's currently around Sol on the east coast. Maybe we can tinker together at some point. I'll reach out to you in pm.

I've been amazed at some of the mistakes I've made that resulted in my favourite dudes being killed by zobs. You playing on official pubs?

Eh Chili- how's the tinkering going? What's going on out there?

@Badlywrapdkebab Where do you tend to hang out the most? What kind of servers?

Quiet couple nights... we're working up in the northern areas trying to keep Svet safe for those who are fresh and trying to play out the game. Kind of nice to not see a bunch of dead freshies laying around with stone knives hovering 4 feet above them. We had several positive interactions- only one shooting around the police station in town. I was hanging around waiting for Bam to join me, taking a quick look around some garages to the west when I got shot at a few times. Sounded close- but I wasn't sure from where. I naturally began my escape and evasion routine (basically Shift ASDWDASDAWSDADSAWWDAWDSAWDAWDSDAWDASDAWDAWDSAWDW) and while I looked over my shoulder saw zobs running east. I didn't see where they ended up but Bam got in and started taunting whoever it was over the town mass notification system. After a few minutes of Monty Python level taunting we headed back to the general area where I was shot at again. This time Bam saw the zobs collecting at the base of the police station. He is more aggressive than I am so before I'd even had a chance to get to him he'd already busted into the the building and started clearing it. I caught up finally and was able to provide some support but ultimately the dude had logged. So last night I figured I'd go on and see if I could find a car for us to tool around in on an official server. It didn't take long before I found my first one- buried almost up to the roof. Awesome. Then I made my way across a field where I saw a pony on the roof of a shed- glitching between the ground and the roof. Then I found a rare pig trying to tunnel through a rock face... I shot it with a pistol and looked forward to a little bacon BBQ- but after quartering it all the stuff disappeared. Then I looked at one of my standard suppressors in my kit and in spite of having not fired a shot through it it was ruined. Awesome. I found another car eventually- 4 wheels and not underground and after taking a quick look it had EVERYTHING except the radiator... even had a jerry can and a jug of oil in the inventory. I wanted to try and buy some time for some other Helpy Helpers to show up with the requisite parts so I stole the spark plug out of it- but nobody was around at the time. By the time I logged back on this morning it was gone. Ah well... today is another day.

Harumph. Well the helpy helpers will be waiting patiently for your return. Judging by what I've read so far I'll see you next year sometime lol.

Just change the topic to please delete... and change the message to please delete. A mod will generally delete it. Or just post a few pictures of a black screen saying that you wanted to enter a daylight server... They delete those ones too.

EMU! You're back!

One thing you might like to know is to keep your eyes open for the head lamp with the green strap... or at least green highlights. It's the one with the red light... not visible from as long a distance.

10 minutes seems consistent with what I've found... MAYBE 15?

Okay then.

Codeine cures it and multivits help avoid it.

Which server are you offering a ride on?
