Me and my friends have always been very proficient at getting cars in DayZ. We quit over a year ago because we found we would die in random car/lag related glitches more than anything else in game. Came back yesterday and got all the parts for our ride tonight, on a full server. As soon as I started driving, the car began glitching and lagging all over the place and we both died within seconds, and the car burned. It's AMAZING to me that this behavior still has not been addressed, and also very disappointing. Ok I guess I'm done ranting now, maybe we will try again in another year or so 🤷‍♀️

You are totally right. I remember problems in DayZ-mod where we would be driving with more than one vehicle and lag caused collisions that never actually happened, but driving one car alone was never a problem. It's a shame because vehicles are the most exciting part of DayZ for me and the crew I play with. Not only is walking everywhere super boring, but driving in a car automatically puts a giant bullseye on your back and makes the game even more intense and nerve wracking. It's such a bummer to me that they still haven't figured out how to make this work. Other games have perfectly functioning vehicles, why is it so hard for DayZ?!

I appreciate the optimism, guess I'll just have to wait and see. With the difficulty of getting a car up and running, it sure is frustrating to die instantly once you finally get it going. I suppose I'll check the 1.10 patch notes and hope there is something about car stability, but the fact it's been this way for SOOO long, doesn't have me very hopeful.

1. Looking down iron sights shouldn't require two button presses. Instead they should be two completely separate keybinds. One to raise gun and "hip fire" the other to look down iron sights, with this also overriding "hip fire button". You should not have to already be in "hip fire" position in order to look down iron sights, this is clunky and unusual for a first person shooter in my opinion. 2. Players should be able to manually "push" a vehicle if it has all 4 tires on it. Perhaps one player pushing from steering position, and additional players increasing speed of pushing. This would solve MANY car-related shenanigans I have ran into since my return. Thanks for reading!

I was getting ready to finish repairing a vehicle on a US 366... server (hosted by Multiplay). As I loaded the last of my parts into the truck, the server crashed. It has not come back online in over 36 hours now. I sure would love to get this vehicle rolling but the server it is on (along with my car parts) has vanished without a trace. Does anyone have any ideas on how you get Multiplay to restart a bunk server?

I agree, health and blood regen in general is WAY too easy. Honestly if u get shot in the leg, surviving in the wild, your probably going to die with time (infection, blood loss, etc). But in DayZ u just have to eat some beans hand sit around for 10 minutes. I would love to see long term effects when being shot, I think like OP said it would make people think harder about their actions instead of just "Rambo mode" and hope the other guy dies first.

Yeah I agree punching seems a little OP. The other day a survivor ran up on me in a house, I was armed with a gun. He ran in and started punch spamming me, I was knocked into a corner and stun locked. I barely somehow managed to escape and kill the perp, but it was too close. The stun lock felt very OP lol.

Im sure they will come back, the one I originally posted about has finally come back after nearly 3 dayz

I am a recently returning player who used to play DayZMod. I can tell you, compared to that, the AI is WAY better. I actually find zombies to be quite good now, we'll balanced, just hard enough for me to avoid them without being annoyingly powerful.

Yikes! I can't imagine they would just "take" an official server down to use for testing, spinning up another server shouldn't be that difficult.

Playing on "The High Life" community server. I try to get some basic weaponry and rob people as it can be quite interesting... Anyway I caught this guy, handcuffed him and ordered him into the police station, he was walking up the stairs, while talking in voice, and just disappeared! No logout sitting down animation or anything, he was moving and talking with handcuffs on and just POOF! gone! It's really irritating because that was my only set of handcuffs! What the heck!? Does anyone know how this is done?

Upgrade to a car and you will see them all the time. Running is for plebs :P

As the title suggests, I am offering a free ride anywhere in Chernarus! I will ask you to follow a specific protocol to protect my assets, but drop a line here if you need lift! (Official servers only)

I thought I could delete this thread after I gave someone a ride but i dont see a delete option lol

It's an official server

You can still repair some of these "sunken" vehicles if you already have a working vehicle. Simply take the working vehicle and drive it VERY SLOWLY toward the "sunken" vehicle until they touch. If the sunken vehicle is not too deep, it will pop out of the ground unharmed. If there's any loud bangs or pops, you might cause the gas tank to be leaking, this will depend on how deep the car is in the ground.

Ouch!

Bring it pleb cannon.

Super easy: run along the main costal road until you are entering/exiting a city. There should be small white signs along the main road with the city name. Then go to Izurvive.com and look at the city names till you see your city, ezpz.

Blood transfusions used to be WAY more useful in the dayz mod days. Blood regenerated SUPER slow, and so you would almost CERTAINLY need a transfusion. With the current blood regeneration rate, transfusions seem useless, I wonder why they made this change...

I had to do exactly this. Swapped all my vehicle parts to a new vehicle, the only difference is that I didn't destroy the leaking vehicle, I just left it there at the car spawn. For whoever takes the time to recover the leaking vehicle "sorrynotsorry" hehehe

Is there any list of "items that can be buried" ?

Op is clearly a noob, I would have downed him with my starter plum as a weapon.

Based on the accuracy of the "day / night indicator" I'm probably not going to trust the ping indicator either, lol.
