Spaggies Vanilla Chernarus Green - Hosted by Jack Spaggies Vanilla Chernarus Blue - Hosted by Jack Spaggies Vanilla Livonia - Hosted by Jack Vanilla, 1PP, nighttime accelerated... These are the ones I have been playing since left official servers more than (I don't know) three-four years ago? No issues and good experience. I think their only rule is "don't be a dick" aka be respectful and don't be racist or similar to other people. Just in case, read them before. They are hosted in the UK, but I know people who play from the USA or Canada and have no connection issues, so it could work for you.

Have you thought about, I don't know... a dev design choice among the possibilities? Or is it that you go straight to disrespect about the game and its developers in every chance you have for who knows what reason... Oh respect, I forgot that it's a virtue very scarce...

AnInnocentChimp already told you twice, McWendy. I also suggest that you play the game (or watch a video about it) and see it by your self. Not a big deal, but good little detail. It's not like someone would think at first by reading the patch notes. Say it because I though similar before changing my mind for the good. Up to you.

I agree, the sound system for firearms didn't feel wrong before that huge balance they did; the distances, the levels of sound, the indoors shots sound, the outdoors ones, the suppressed shots range. I don't understand why they changed something that was more than ok, something that no one complained about and even felt realistic. Now the pistols shots, just for being pistol sounds lot less distance than a MP5 even if they use the same caliber... or the shotgun and SMGs, very low range... or the suppressed shots... Apart from that huge sound change, I am happy for what 2021 has brought to DayZ, and still there is one more update before the year ends

Just a simple suggestion. Add to the base game the West German H&K G3A3, a classic weapon competitor of the FN FAL, both chambered in the same caliber. It has an interesting history, coming from Spanish CETME B, and this coming from one of the last German prototypes before WWII was over, the Sturmgewehr 45. The H&K G3A3, developed in the 50s, was the first widely mass-produced battle rifle by Heckler & Koch, and adopted by many countries for many years, still used today by some. Anyone that loves weapons would know this iconic one, that fortunately didn't have the chance to take part in many conflicts. If you know the H&K MP5, you will find the esthetic similarities, since both were designed by Ludwig Vorgrimler, while working for H&K. There is a very well-made mod for it already, but I think it would be nice to have it in vanilla.

Comparing in units built, there has been produced about 8.000.000 of G3, 7.000.000 of FAL, or 11.000.000 of AKM. So the G3 is not a rare weapon, and as I said in my previous post, there are many countries that either used or still use it nowadays. Here is a link with more information about it for anyone interested. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heckler_%26_Koch_G3

I am really happy for you guys, for the game and for the community and players. It is really satisfying seeing my favorite game overcoming its old problems and even improving its previous state from years ago. Really excited for what you are preparing in 2021! Thank you and keep it up!

Don't take me wrong, I am more than happy that these kind of mods are being made, and as you say, if you don't like it, all you need to do is avoid servers running it. What I mean by ruining the game, is if it was a vanilla thing, since you could not avoid it. I know they will never act as a human player. They will never talk, pretend, team up, betray, hide as a human, scout, help, give food, trade, tell their stories, build and drive a car... They will never move as a real player would. Yes, they will loot, eat, drink, bandage... but never as a human would, not even close. And I think that this is most of the beauty of DayZ, the beauty that everyone you find gives many posibilities, not just shoot, kill n' loot. If the first thing you have to think when finding someone is if he is AI or Human player, then part of the previous, if not all, is ruined. After you've found he is AI, the potential interaction would be gone at all, and you would have only one option: kill the AI survivor, if he goes unconscious, no point in interacting with him, just kill and take his loot. And then this leads to other problem, farming loot from AI survivors. Once people learn its behaviour, routes and spawn points this would be a real problem. In the other side, it would be perfect for playing/training in offline mode or even online PVE servers or similar modes. I knew they said there is not going to be AI in game which I see as a good decision, I hope they never change this statement.

I could not agree more. In my opinion, for these reasons and many others, AI survivors will completely ruin the game.

Something's gonna happen today!

- Magnum and working russian roulette. - Temperature system for items. - Car wrecks in Chernarus just as Livonian ones. Write yours if you want and let's have fun. I suggest only posting three so we have a limit to prioritice between the numerous we would have in mind. Also let's guess when it would come out to experimental. I would say next Tuesday.

Unrealistic goal you write? To me that seems an arbitrary use of words when last year they released 6 decent/good updates, so having a 5 update goal in one year seemed perfectly possible. Different thing could be the state we are in today, almost half a year after and only having 1.07 update.

Glad you find it enjoyable mate! Now I realise that I didn't explain what "temperature system" means to me. I am thinking about how cooked food loose temperature over time, and how eating hot food can warm up your body for a while and resist better the cold enviorement. I hope this makes sense.

I have sent you a message with a community server suggestion that could fit in your requirements

Maybe you have already tried this. If not, it could help: - Whitelist your whole steam folder and your DayZ.exe in Windows Defender for stoping the in real-time scan. - Enable write caching of your SSD (should be already enabled but check just in case). - Check if you RAM is running at 2133mhz that if I am not mistaken it is the fastest speed your processor can handle. I believe you can check it with CPU-Z.

Yes, there are helicopter crash sites spawns in Livonia. I found some of them along some SVD's and VSS's when playing the beta a month ago. Like in Chernarus, they are found in certain parts of the map. I believe that in Livonia it is Southeast.

I second this. Used to be able to look at the map itself (not at the "Arma editor interface", to call it somehow) while open but not anymore. So if someone is with you he can point it with the F7 gesture and look at the same map. While playing yesterday in Livonia with others we had trouble trying to find what we saw in map while I was seeing the "Arma editor interface" and they seeing the actual map opened in my hands. It is crucial that all are watching the same and a hundred times more cool map than the "Arma editor interface". Also it feels unrealistic to be able to zoom in or out in the "Arma editor interface" and appear/disapear buildings, green forest mass, rivers, ponds, electrical cables, city names... Please devs, consider this for the next updates. In my opinion I would completelly remove what I call the "Arma editor interface".

Almost everytime I have got one I turn it on, but unfortunately I have only found one guy on the radio in like six months. It was on one official server and around Stary Sobor. He seemed cool and we talked for a while, but at one point he had to leave so we never met up.

I just got killed by a dude that at least has speed hack in server NL 3663873 at like 14:30 CEST. For an hour I had been hearing shots around Balota airfield and Novoselki. I was fully geared with AK-101, plate carrier, tactical helmet and NVG. It became pitch-black night and heard the shots again around Novoselki military tents. I went there and found two guys killed that both had NVG too. I looted them and hided a bit in the forest. Then, after like five minutes, I heard a few shots again in the coast. I started going towards them and in the middle of the forest I saw this hacker going at the speed of light from left to right, thirty metres in front of me. I immediately stopped and proned but I had already lost him. I thought it could be a connection problem, but seconds later, while being prone and in less than a second he approached from my right, aimed and killed me with one shotgun shot. I managed just turning my head but not reacting raising my weapon because I was pressing ALT key. The first impression is that he uses mostly shotgun, he has speed hack for sure, and he even knows where the people are. I wish I had recorded this but unfortunately I haven't. Since I think he has killed more than me, if someone has been around this area, server and time, you can post your thoughts.

Another speed hacker in NL 3664728; this time he was a friendly one. I even talked to him for a while and he seemed proud to be hacking... This is the third one I find in a short period of time.

Hey! I asked the same thing when I was playing in NL 3664734 for the last two weeks without any rain at all and today I changed to NL 3664728 and it was very rainy all the time.

My favourite weapon is CR-527, preferably with hunting scope attached, and my melee favorite is the combat knife.

Watching this really makes me want bows in DayZ. It has to be awesome making your own improvised bow and arrows to survive.

I think the same, but I suggest that they also change the way zombies deteriorate clothes fast when hitting just a few times.

I have been playing today in Windows 10 1903 and was as normal as before, so I can confirm that at least for me there aren't any issues.
