    No PS4 Servers Error 24

    I recently ditched Twitter as I found them being Prats and proved them liars. So If you don't have Twitter your not worthy of notification. Sounds about right.

    Error Code 9?

    I have just found no servers on my PS4 in Wales in the UK. Tried a number of other online games which all work fine so I think all the Servers have an Issue.My server list reads Error 24.

    No PS4 Servers Error 24

    Was not aware of any server maintainance other than normal restarts but awake this Sunday Morning in the UK to find no servers available Error 24 in server list. Is this a Issue or is it just my PS as my other online ganes work fine.

    why are all official servers down for ps4?

    Happened to me about four hours ago. All available servers went off. A update arrived 1-18 PS4 uploaded it and when I signed back in all servers were back so It was a bug fix update for all servers It seems.

    Cars Grrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!

    Well 1.08 has come and gone and the bleeding cars are worse than ever. Spent four bleeding hours hunting Base building Loot drove back to my chosen spot Got out of the car turned round to see the car performing somersaults a 100feet into the air and when it stopped it would not let me get anything from the car I had collected.. Three minutes later the car disappeared never to be seen again. Three days later yesterday I decide to have a go again on an official server. What a bloody mistake three hours to find a car and get it going fair enough. Three Hours getting the Base Building materials together drive off back towards my Base location and I am under the map spinning like crazy. When it stops car wrecked and unable to get any loot out of the car again. DayZ though it grieves me I feel we need a trial seperation. I love you but we can not go on living like this.

    Cars Grrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!

    Four times this week I have found a car fixed it up fueled and watered it and within 5 mins its underneath the map and I die. Today I only got in and switched the engine on and had not even moved. Official Servers 2350 and 9994. Not amused.

    Which Public Server Do You Use?

    Quite a few Modded Servers now showing on the community pages and I have had some of the best DayZ play on them. Most notable feature though is most have got the weather spot on.

    Which Public Server Do You Use?

    Different servers do offer varying experiences which is great and kinda guide the game a little but the total imbalance on loot and rewards along with the overall experience can make or break a server. I live in Mid Wales and I have a number of times tried to incorperate Discord into my experience but the few times I tried this Discord has just been a total destructive process for whatever reason. This obviously eliminates my ability to go to a number of servers. Then in game the logic of where loot spawns drives me nuts sometimes. These sort of things add to a players enjoyment of the game and again you learn the better servers. Of course the main reason most play is for the interaction with other players which again varying servers lay down some guidance for play to guide the experience. Servers also do not help themselves by what the providers call the server immediately alienating certain players. I see tactical logging of servers where squads go active to gain as much loot as possible as it becomes available to disappear 2 hours later and the same four are there again the same time next day. there is so much to add in the mix of the overall experience. I have seen a number of good pop servers with the right mix become unplayable as the admin of the servers become non existent after it goes live. I have been in a few communities where issues crept in as the server became popular and some just disappeared some become unplayable some become whitelisted or discord initiated and a good community on a well pop server is suddenly gone. Its a baffling journey working out what you want as all players are not looking for the same experience but overall once you are somewhere near getting the experience you want I am sure someone will put a spanner in the works and lessen the experience. I write this now as I logged in earlier to find after nine servers where I log into continual heavy rain on each one making my choice easy. No DayZ until later I just don't want it so playing something else after I finish this. I see in many other games nothing like the rain I see in DayZ so in the end DayZ loses as it is also the PC community where you watch some of the streamers constantly complain about the rain so its not console specific. But servers certainly are a law untio themselves and can be as I said earlier baffling.for want of a better description

    I will be honest with you Trev where I use to have a few favourited servers Official Ones I tend to now work through the list and try to play the first one I find that its not raining on and has a decent pop. Lately it has been difficult and as my brother and a few friends play the community servers more I tend to end up there but I prefer to play as a pair or lone wolf. Even though the game is I feel playing better there are still to many inconsistancies restricting enjoyment.

    Niggles and down Right Crazy

    Totally agree again guys. Gave up today again after Rain Rain Rain just made the game soul destroying. Again today nothing from Zombies except one gave me a battery. Must have killed about 40 before I gave up. Today was just not enjoyable again.

    Niggles and down Right Crazy

    Well back at Day Z today and I had this great idea to try route 1 from the original post on this thread. Zombies gave me peaches, Beans Trees gave me Apples Pears Greenhouses gave me drink Peppers I could have fed an Army. 58 Pop when I signed in on Official Server and never saw a player. Got on NWAF and the Tents had Hundreds of Backpacks Guns, Boots, Jackets, Trousers, Ammo, Mags, batteries, Sights etc everywhere. A plentiful Harvest all hidden away. DayZ a game of extremes.

    Niggles and down Right Crazy

    I signed in on my brothers account yesterday on the two same Official servers and pretty much the same result as I wrote above. This time though on both occasions I found Tac Bac at VMC that saved me but was it close. Flashing Red I was amazed I survived because again no Fruit in orchards or roadside, No cans or drinks in Greenhouses and again killing Zombies found not one food item. Time for a rest from the game I think. Oh and I logged in to lovely weather to find after 10 mins both servers changed to heavy Rain. Why !!!!!!!!!!!!

    Niggles and down Right Crazy

    So Today I fell off the crane at Topolniki as I posistioned for a shot as I heard a car coming. My fault so no worries. My respawn was Berezhino and I have a few routes worked out between there and a run to NWAF or Tisy Military to try for some good weapons and Heli Crashes. Route one never failed me before once I knew where stuff can be found but died well before getting anywhere near my destination because I spawned with only a pear as normal and found not one Pear, ,Apple or Plum. By looking back as I had recorded it I killed 76 Zombies before I died who offered me 4 boxes of matches, 4 Torches, 2 Can Openers, 1 Battery, 1 6 Pack of Rags and a Plastic Bottle. I tried loads of properties which offered me Cowboy Hats, Crash Helmets , Beanies, Capri Pants, Quilted Jackets, Trail Shoes and Working Boots by the crate. I checked Green Houses and Sheds and found mainly Car Parts and Generators and Camping Tripods in sheds and Packs of seed in every Greenhouse. Drank and had full water from two wells but eventually died from Hunger. I had nothing to kill Animals to cook and eat. this route has never failed like this before Anyway respawn South of Berenzino and try a different Route with exactly the same results. So two official Servers and to be honest it was crap. My conclusion was poor settings on the servers. It was obvious with decent pop on the servers some places had been done by other players but no melee weapons, no guns , no ammo and no fruit or food anywhere and believe me we tried some obscure locations. Add to this Zombies spotting me AFK in a locked Garage lay down. I came back to 20 Zombies all aggroed at the door where it was impossible to see me and no way did I aggro them as I was in the garage not moving for a few minutes before I AFKed because I had a phone call. Because I had nothing and had found nothing I had to wait ages before I could move on. After the Second death I thought I would look around at Community and official servers of various Pop and see how many were online. Every login it was chucking it down and after seven tries I was about to give up when I spotted a community server that has reappeared after going missing for about a week. My character is pretty geared so she will be my next login tomorrow but overall I found today a pretty crap experience and I am not one to moan normally but it was not the way to make players keen to play again. If I was a newbie I would probably be demanding my money back. We really need some sensible server management depending on server pop and general understanding of the game please Empty supermarkets of food and cans where in real life thats where you would look first. Better distribution of Zombie loot would be a good place to start. There was no way was just bad luck.
