I don't like Livonia. I played on a server with "Banov" (similar), but I don't like that either, I miss a bit of the sea and I miss the Alps, like behind where I live. Deer Isle is a good map, but a lot depends on the server what MOD's puts in and how it's set up.

Thank you But they put a lot of effort into trying to ruin this "wretch" of the game... With absolutely useless and unrealistically stupid things... ๐ก

I had read that it was enough to leave well full of food and water with firefighter clothes that are warm and waterproof and what you carried in your backpack was to prepare for the return swim. I never did, but I had it planned. Now, if I understand correctly, you can not stay long in the water that you drown or die of cold? I got it right?

Watch this: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1597140327 Winter Chernarus is beautiful. Unfortunately the "vanilla base" version, as we all know, is what it is, luckily there are MODs that fix the game and add what is missing. Unfortunately, many servers abuse it, but it's also a matter of taste. The situation of DayZ is this, unfortunately get over it, grit your teeth and move on... I don't see other alternatives. Find a "decent" server using this mod or open one in person and hope other players like it too. I, in my spare time, am following the second one, and this mod is one that I would like to use... when I have also fixed the rest (without a "mall" style trader, in DayZ the objects are searched for the map!)

I hope those ridiculous, out of context and almost immortal mummies are ONLY for Halloween and disappear forever after! ๐

The apotheosis of uselessness
-
Why not ?!? At least one vehicle that works decently. Have you ever tried the others? Are you old to drive? Have you ever driven a real vehicle? Did you realize the difference between real vehicles and these crap in the game (little power, little torque, no wheel grip, absurd gear ratios, etc.) I would be curious to see a Hummer going uphill on a lawn, if it really works like reality.

patch after patch still no locker and codelocks
Riddick_2K replied to waffen's topic in General Discussion
And a small electronic circuit in stand-by does not consume much, in my opinion, for a month, a charged 9v battery would be enough. Maybe it wears out more with each opening/hatching. Car/truck batteries and wire ropes can be used if desired Then it's "just a game", isn't it? With all the unrealistic absurdities that have been made (unusable tents and fences in the woods, exaggerated consumption of everything, backpacks that cannot be filed when full, etc...) this would be the "minimum wage" for this game. -
But that's right. Who would ever dream of punching a person with a gun? A drug addict or a kamikaze. Already this game is a hodgepodge of illogical and unrealistic bullshits and absurdity, let's not add any more, come on ... In any case, a lot should depend on the caliber of the shot. From a .22 it is logical to expect it to pass through the body without serious consequences (except taking vital organs or the brain), a .357 is logical to expect severe damage and shock even if taken to an arm or leg. And don't tell me "it's just a game and we need balance", that this is just the classic excuse to try to justify some bullshit that spoils the immersion in the game!

Hi. If the problem was reinstalling everything but you didn't want to delete your previous installation, it would have been enough to clone the partition to another HD. I use 2 different PCs: 1 x daily activities and the 2nd for games. Even 2 different HDs on the same PC can do the job. it's a good habit that I learned with Windows 98 / Windows NT4 Workstation and even now that I only use W7x64, I always keep the 2 different uses separate, and also for games, I have + HD for different games. I know it may sound complicated and expensive, but it protects you for cases like this. Sorry to suggest it late, but I hope it will be useful to others in the future too.

This is the best place where (maybe) you will find the solution. Best wishes. I, with ArmA3, have not found solutions anywhere ... https://feedback.bistudio.com/project/view/2/

BI, this does NOT inspire confidence
Riddick_2K replied to THEGordonFreeman's topic in General Discussion
I saw the video... very interesting like most of the Wobo videos. Always the same story, with the patches, since I started playing in 2020: they fix something, they break something else, they add uselessness and the main flaws remain as always. ๐ The B.I. is a "rock" of uselessness and incompetence... ๐ -
I saw in the server browser that all Public/Veteran servers hosted by GameServers.com will be closed and never updated to 1.19. Can anyone tell me why? Or a link that explains it? Thank you

For all those who "love" the Wipe with the most varied "excuses". I don't want to write long explanations, but I report what I replied in another forum to a player who, "in love" with the Wipes too, asked what you can do after you have equipped yourself a little. (simple mind). Request: Messaggio originale di xxxxxx: What do you do when you have everything, hm? There's only so much you can do when you spend all of your time on one base. It's good for the player themselves to lose everything, because the game is more about the journey back there. Reply: "Survive" which is the "basic purpose" of the game! You hunt, fish, explore new or off-the-beaten-path places, upgrade your equipment, build a base (if you don't already have one), upgrade/expand the base (if you already have one), look for a vehicle (if you don't have one), look for a better vehicle (if you already have one), go hunting for bears (it's dangerous), build yourself an "outpost" opposite the map where you built your Main Base... with all this you have already taken over a year of play, except if you are unemployed and have no family, friends or RL interests... then you may really take less time to do everything. If this does NOT interest you... what the hell did you buy DayZ?!? Do you just like killing other people? Buy one of the many War FPS and play with them, they will surely be more suitable for your enjoyment! And more generally: What's the point of taking a War FPS game (ArmA2), creating a mod to survive the pandemic (the ArmA2 MOD), then making it all a standalone game (DayZ) to complain and want a War FPS to return ?!? Stay in ArmA2! Or if you want an upgrade use ArmA3! DayZ is NOT ArmA2/3 anymore! GET OVER IT ! (This should be remembered especially to the programmers, for how DayZ is "derailing" patch after patch... ) You like to survive (hunting, fishing, loot, bases, exploration, etc) well: play DayZ! Do you like to exterminate each other? well: play Battlefield, CoD, Arma2/3 etc! It seems to me such an obvious and banal concept that I remember Mr. Lapalisse I know it is not very "beautiful", but I can only self-quote. ๐

Server Hardware requirement/recommendation/questions
Riddick_2K replied to d4rkb3ast's topic in Servers
Hello. I don't know if you still need it, but I answered a similar problem some time ago in this same forum. Read this (h t t p s ://forums.dayz.com/topic/252172-dedicated-server-hosting-requirements/?do=findComment&comment=2478554) In case my personal suggestion is: Fewer cores but more GFlops possible (because not always the only frequency is synonymous with a powerful processor). You have to look for the highest computing capacity per single core and it will surely be the best processor ... then, maybe, it also goes to luck, because I've also heard people who DayZ works on multiple cores ... maybe it's one of the many bugs of the game, but from what I've more read and tried, it seems to work mainly on a single core, and the more "powerful" it is the better for the fluidity of the game and the vehicles mainly. ๐ P.S. No problem for language, I also don't know English and must to use Google...๐ PP.S. Read also this: h t t p s ://forums.dayz.com/topic/252722-server-performance-and-tick-rate/ -
Is the exchange of items between strangers safely possible?
Riddick_2K posted a topic in General Discussion
In your opinion, is it possible to exchange items with strangers and not risk your life in some way? How would you do it? Any suggestions ? -
Don't they seem like 2 opposing concepts? ๐ฎ
-
An excellent "POINT" of view ... ๐ ๐

Well if so it would be good news if it weren't that they have implemented other various types of explosives... One they fix and another they break it... it's since I started playing that I always see the same thing, patch after patch... but the main flaws are still there... ๐

I do not know these latest news, now I play almost only in my private server or in other modded ones, but up to 1.17 I have also played a lot in the public vanilla ones. Grenades are too common, with one character I once found so many that no longer fit in my inventory (and I always equip myself with a hunter's jacket, USMC pants, smershvest with smershbag and Alice backpack) so much so that I went to the top to a building, when the server was nearly deserted, and I threw them all over the infected. If I had been a "raid fan" (which I hate to receive and have no intention of doing), I would have filled at least one of my submerged barrels (which were never found, but only wiped out by the various WIPEs) in anticipation of a raid . I DO NOT duplicate, but grenades are very common indeed, much more so than weapons and magazines you really need. With Christmas, even land mines are found by the ton, truly in the "Christmas spirit"... ๐ I would be curious to see what is really inside the skull of the DayZ programmers... Lucifer? Nosferatu? Count Vlad? ๐ค

I am from 1966 (56 years now) and I assure you that a good majority of "presumed adults" are just that "aged children/adolescents" but never "grown up"... if by "growth" we also mean a personal psychology evolution from "commands emotionality and egocentrism" (like children/adolescents) to "I keep emotionality/egocentrism under control with rationality and civilization". I have known many of the former, especially among server administrators (NOT only in DayZ, eh...) that it is the place where they can most "vent" their instincts and "egocentric" impulses, of the latter very few... at any age! It is NOT the chronological age that makes the "good and honest person" ๐ P.S. I hope I was able to explain myself despite the Google translations

Broken and no longer loadable barrels opened in an M3S
Riddick_2K posted a topic in General Discussion
But did they also break something about the barrels or the vehicles? I am no longer able to load an open barrel inside an M3S like I did before... I have deleted all mods (I was thinking of a conflict between mods) and it is NO longer possible to move an open barrel inside an M3S. I hope it was NOT done on purpose, but from experience I fear it will be one of the "usual wickedness" of the B.I. Has anyone noticed? Maybe some other way to do it? Do you know a MOD that gets around this new problem? -
Because it doesn't depend on how many people are on the server, it is the product of a number of factors: the server configuration files and the fact that the object spawn system is broken like so many other things in DayZ. Have you ever found civilian items in military dormitories? here... DayZ is a very fun game, and the mods make it very configurable to taste... but it is a poorly written and very poorly managed game... unfortunately.
