WOW! Less than an hour and someone's already bitching about SOMETHING.

As douchey as it may sound, I hope there is too, simply because after a server restart last night, I wound up back on the beach, while my buddy didn't. So screw it. SCORCHED EARTH! 😁

If you want battle royale, play PUBG, and leave DayZ alone. If you want to run-and-gun, play BF, and leave DayZ alone. You cannot compare two games like BF and DayZ. BF is rather simplistic in it's execution, where DayZ has a MULTITUDE of more options of what you can do.

You sure the gun isn't ruined?

I just wish that the SAME people that bitch about the SAME things over, and over, and over again would just do themselves and everyone else a favor and uninstall the game, move one, and let the rest of us enjoy the game, for what it is, in peace.

It's a 50/50 split, and here's why.........there will always be issues with the game. An issue gets fixed, another pops up, people complain and threaten to quit playing. It's a vicious, endless cycle. This is an INCREDIBLY complex game. Accept it for what it is, welcome the updates and add-ons, rinse, and repeat. You'll be a lot happier.

They need to make campfires like they do barrels, wire barriers, and the like where you PLACE them, then that's where they stay, and they don't despawn. It IS frustrating that you go through all the trouble to build a cool stone oven, only to have it disappear an hour later.

You might have just had a lemon. I have had cars that smoked from the start and only went a half mile before dying, or get one that drinks gas. Has never happened to me. You have a desyncing issue, but again, that has never happened to me as far as guns go. I have been desynced trying to melee a zombie though. That's just the way it goes. It comes with the territory.

Being "kitted" is not, and should not be your #1 priority (of course, you play how you want). My priorities are FOOD, WATER, WEAPON, CLOTHING, SHELTER. As for the rest, all that will come in time. I don't know WHY, in the name of God, everyone.....EVERYONE......thinks that getting all decked out will make you a better player. Once, I killed a "kitted" player with nothing more than my shotgun, and all I had was a baseball cap, hoodie, hiking pants, trail shoes, and a backpack with a little ladybug on it. THEN, I took HIS shit. Pretty easy. On the server I'm on now, I have a base set up, with one mil tent, one crate, and one sea chest. I have a stash with a suppressed SG-5K, 3 mags, and a Mosin. My "kit" consists of a scoped SKS, a scoped Tundra, field backpack, and a matching set of combat jacket and pants. That is really all you need, but hey............to each his own. If you just take what you can get WHEN you get it, it's AMAZING how fun the game actually is.

Umm, WE have, but apparently YOU haven't. People like you keep hanging around and post all your little whining fits, while the rest of us accept things the way they are. That is all you do is judge others. Let me rewind the tape......."Anyone still making excuses for these companies, for these downfalls, for these shitty servers, for this shitty community, for this broken game, still hoping, still paying, excited for the upcoming DLC MAP, ANYONE READY TO KEEP PAYING MONEY TO SUPPORT THESE GARBAGE PRACTICES and look the other way while you get cornholed for your precious time is just plain fucking dumb. " Sounds pretty judgmental to me. Do everyone a favor.....uninstall the game and delete the forum from your "favorites" tab, and move along.

Oh, okay. So, what you're saying is jump on to non-persistent server, get your crap, then go into ANOTHER server and screw up THEIR CLE........got it. It's because of people like you is why I only spend about 10% of my playing time on public servers.

Again, if you can't stash an extra gun, ammo, and supplies, or build a couple of walls to secure your one tent and one barrel, what's the point of playing at all?

If you can't keep the stuff you find through a server reset, there's no reason play at that point. I don't need an M4 or AK that bad.

High pop is better. This is how I understand how it works.........if items sit idle for too long, such as in a low pop server, that item will despawn and nothing else will spawn until that area is frequented again. If items at a location are consistently looted, items will continue to spawn. As for top tier weapons.....good luck. They have been hoarded, duped, and stashed. Your best bet is to kill another player for one or find a stash or base and raid it. to With that said, you can do plenty of damage with a shotty, a Mosin with a PU scope, a scoped Tundra, SKS, or CR527. You don't need an M4 or AK to be competitive.

I haven't figured out why someone would want to rent only a 10 slot server. I know there's the price issue, but only 10 players on a map that size? You'll never see anyone. I would understand if it were for experimentation purposes......you know, learning the ins and outs of being an admin.

Has anybody experienced their loot stored in tents, barrels, etc. getting "stuck", and not being able to pick them up? This has happened to me twice.....once in a tent, and once with a barrel. This last go around, I swapped a NV scope with no batteries FOR one WITH a battery that I had in a barrel. After the swap and before I was gonna log out, I decided that it would be best to log out with the OTHER NV scope, as I didn't want to take a chance of someone stumbling across our stash, and I wanted to give it to one of my buddies the next time we were on. Long story short......the scope I swapped was NOW stuck in the barrel. When this happened in our tent a couple of days ago, I was able to get previously stuck items out after the server reset. Anyhoooo, I had a theory, so I tried it out. I had two innocuous items, an apple in my hand, and 4 shotgun shells in the barrel. I hit 'A' to swap, and they did. After that, I could NOT take the apple back into my inventory or in my hand. It's possible, then, in theory, that instead of swapping items, that if you DROP an item, then take an item out of your storage, put it in your inventory, THEN pick up the dropped item THEN place it back into the storage inventory that it may not happen.......again, in theory. If that IS the case, albeit a HUGE inconvenience, at least you can take your items. But, then again, I could be WAY OFF on my assumption. So, like I asked, has anyone else experienced this, and if so, have you figured out HOW to fix it?

What do you mean? Do you mean just not working, or shots not registering? Shots not registering is because you have a desyncing problem.

That's why you use a melee weapon on zeds. Axes and baseball bats work wonders. Guns should always be a last resort. Again, in the real world, suppressors are used to mask your location, and not the sound. Granted, zeds are a little too "smart" to be able to pinpoint your location. They need to be dumbed down a little more.

Suppressors do just that.....they SUPPRESS. They don't silence.....just like in the real world. What IS bullshit about them is how they get ruined through normal use The way it should work is once it gets dirty, it can cause your weapon to jam.....just like in the real world. I hate how they can get ruined so quickly.

Multiple accounts is still douchey. Is there really "permadeath" then? I mean hell.....you die, just activate one of your clones.

It makes finding those guns that much more of a reward if you ask me. When items are hard to come by, people have a tendency to protect them a little more, and aren't so quick to act like douche-bags. Why take precautions in your actions if you could simply run inland for 2 or 3 minutes after dying and immediately find a suppressed M4, an ACOG, 10 mags, and 400 rounds of ammo? Personally, I think M4s and AKs are STILL too plentiful. I agree with adding broken bones and fishing (and maybe perhaps crafting snares for small game), but I would like to at least have the option for choosing the gender of your character.

DUDE, you have some INSANE desyncing problems.

How socialist of you.

Huh?

Because I find it HILARIOUS that you are whining about something that has absolutely ZERO bearing on the actual game.
