But why do you bring up the "alleged realism" only when it suits you and for everything else (backpacks to be emptied to be put away, absurd wearing of boots, a doll who eats as if he had a whole family of tapeworms in his stomach, tends that do not you can mount if the ground is not perfectly flat, impossible fences like tents, risky cars to drive, plants that grow, mature, rot and disappear in about 2 hours and many many others absurdity like these) almost no one complains and even when they do, many silence him or "lick" the programmers or claim the "playability". Be a community of absurd people... I seriously begin to think that you are suffering from the "Stockholm syndrome". DayZ is an arcade, a huge and very complex arcade... but it has very little realism, between deliberately made bullshit and bugs that have never been solved! Moreover, this indicator... absurdly... is something that will, instead, bring a little realism to the game, it DOES NOT take it away. In case you have to see to what extent and with what effects it will be done (I have not tried the experimental one, I only read the forum). ALL if you get hurt you can feel it directly from the nerve endings that you hurt yourself, how badly and where. In a video game... since it is "only" a PC video game, this is NOT possible (not yet, at least) so to make it LIKE IN REALITY you have to "visually simulate it" in some way. THIS IS realism. In case you can argue about the "quality" of how it is done, but NOT the fact itself... if you REALLY want a realistic game... which, from your absurd comments, I would say no. You just want them to make the game as difficult as possible so that you can "overwhelm" your neighbor (more inexperienced than you) in a firefight. You speak of a "survival pandemic", you claim it "realistic" (in words), but you want it to become like a complex and absurd war FPS. Use the term "HardCore" as if it were something more "cool" and "expert", but generally it's just a jumble of complex nonsense to make a game unrealistically complex to satisfy twisted minds or who, having a boring and banal RL, look for the biggest and most absurd weird challenges in a PC video game. Even legitimate, but DO NOT talk about "realism"... you mention it but you demand the exact opposite! Many continue to complain about the hit indicators as if they had removed the lid of the "Pandora's box" of DayZ... and continue to pretend nothing of the rest (not all, to be honest, some even complain of all the rest... but I read that it is not followed very much)... that in DayZ "everything is fine, Madam la Marquise". You deserve this game... I wish you, for the future, many other beautiful useless weapons and many other beautiful hats and backyard brooms! So, you just need to look for the most powerful weapon and go hunting for the unfortunate guy... of all the rest of "survival" (the main object of DayZ, in theory) who cares. 😠 😠 😠

I wish I could make the jackets, trousers and belts from the tanned skins of the killed animals... It seems to me that it is not yet possible... at least I have not succeeded... P.S. Maybe with the fur of the killed animal on the outside. Cow, Wolf, Bear, etc. change the skin and change the outer fur of the jacket or pants 🙂

As in the title... DayZ Vanilla with low pop and play alone. In your opinion, which is the best way to hide and/or protect a vehicle? Closing it in a base is useless, as soon as they find it, 5/6 grenades are enough and everything is already gone (already happened several times). Leaving it lying around in sight by removing the wheels and, perhaps, even the battery and spark plug is out of the question, too much work to put it back into operation and, in any case, the first passing by could do it. And removing the wheels is always a high "take-off risk" operation. I took off a Golf found fresh and never used just by adding one of the 2 missing wheels. Hide it in the woods? I have already found some, in the woods near "useful" places... generally I left them where they were, but if I needed them, given how all the others do, I would have no qualms about taking it. And so do almost everyone. In a wood "lost in deserted areas"? And can you go there with a Volga, a Skoda or a Golf ? (Maybe with a Niva, if I found him) And then going to retrieve it when needed becomes a feat... always with the doubts that in any case someone passes through it anyway. A garage made with a double turret? They are very difficult to position, these fu** programmers have made them more and more impossible to assemble... And anyway, only 5/6 grenades are enough, but maybe, in this case, they think about it so as not to ruin the vehicle... maybe... if they don't destroy everything out of "simple envy". I really don't know what to do. How would you do it?

The system of "hiding" it among other carcasses is nice, but it will work until someone goes to look for spare parts. In this case, you will immediately realize that it is a usable car and not a carcass. Yes, on a server where I play little, I also have a car at the "edges of the map", but hidden among the bushes... and after more than a month it is still there (I still hope at the moment I am writing 😁) , but it is a server where I play very little and where I have no base yet, the machine is not essential to me. I need a system to hide a car near the base that I have (on the outskirts of a northern city; but I'm thinking of changing that too because it has already been raided 3 times), so that I can use it when I need it without having to make long journeys or complex reconstructions. Anyway thanks to everyone for the suggestions. I also understand the "problem" that, as soon as someone writes a "good" way to hide something in a public forum, after many read it, that system is no longer so "good" 😉

Given that I agree perfectly with what you say and what you do, even if I fear it is useless... unfortunately... but "Repetita Juvant". However, in the vast majority of the videos you post, no one has the readiness to immediately press the brakes and immediately turn off the engine at the first signs of instability. Are they all children with 10/20 hours of play? I have saved myself many times with this system. Is the only system one I know who can do something: inform the server that the machine "must be stopped", and hope the server "understands" it. Perhaps it should be repeated many times, so that everyone becomes aware of it. Many lives could be saved 😁

Why block the NVG completely? Not need just for PvP, but for the whole game... anyone who wants to play even at night (as well as many other games, if they do not provide for a night in light twilight sun, they directly provide a pair of night viewers by default), must use a couple of NVGs, to fish, hunt, build, loot... you can't do it without seeing decently. Then, since it is DayZ and you also have to defend yourself from all the other players, it is essential to defend yourself. With this patch, the NVGs have been moved from military zones (Tier 2-3-4 & max 5... however hard to find) to just Heli-Crash ... that is almost impossible to find! I, in more than 900 hours only on public servers, I have NOT seen even one! And on some low-population servers I even turned with a car a bit, so I was able to see a lot of Heli-Crash sites in a short time. Is one of the rarest things in the game (and even more stupid for how they were made. I would have to write even on this, and the new patch does NOT help because the sound is useless if they are so rare and the Russian ones do NOT do any smoke neither and are practically invisible if you do not stumble upon them by mistake, I know this well from my private server where, to be able to see at least one, I have increased the number considerably and turned always with a cars). And it is NOT enough! They also imposed the " count_in_player ="1" ", ie the maximum number of NVGs (always equal to 5) is counted NOT only on the map but also if present in a player. This means that it is enough that in a server there are 5 players with an NVG that it will NOT spawn anymore! And I think it is well known that helicopter spawns are for the most part bullshit and banality found all over the place... the specific things that SHOULD be EXCLUSIVE are very rare even in Heli-Crash. Imagine how common it will be to find an NVG now. WELL. This will only favor some big clans, which will be able to have the exclusivity and night predominance in the various public servers and/or dupers and cheaters! [irony on] GREAT patch, Bohemia... this game is better every time and always "better balanced"! [irony off] The NVGs should have become much more popular, precisely because they need NOT ONLY for PvP, but for the whole game and for all types of players: This would be a bit of balance and equilibrium. Always against the hand, with this unfortunate game, eh... B.I. Thank you that modded community servers exist, because if you wanted to sell this game only for your public servers, it would be dead already! Too bad that NOT everyone likes all these MODs and must necessarily struggle with your poorly managed and NOT controlled servers... But do you (programmers of the B.I.) play this game? Is it really okay with you as you "mistreat" it patch after patch? I can't believe that all the stupid choices you have made with this game have been thought out and decided based on your own experience of the game... I can't believe it! Try playing it, too, sometime. Indeed, not only sometimes... try to lose hours... or days of play !!! And then I want to see if you still don't notice the bullshit you are doing. Unless you purposely "push" PvP... push people to kill each other to get anything but a hat or a silly jacket. So it becomes a stupid and badly done game. To "kill each other" there are many other games certainly better made (because they are made on purpose and better), the peculiarity of DayZ is the "pandemic survival", NOT another fucking War FPS... "Push" and improve this aspect, not the others... you will have much less "competition" for sales. And forget the "group" of "fan boy" and "yes man" who "live" literally in this forum (and in the one of Steam), these 5/6 "fanatics" are NOT the real player base, and neither those who will "guarantee your sales". At the moment I have almost all my dolls (in the various hives) with the NGV. But as soon as I die, just knowing that it will no longer be possible to find one, I don't know if I'll still want to start over. I have tried the community servers before (PvE only, I DON'T like PvP) and they are extremely boring (with traders) and even more stupid (with the herds of bears and herds of skeletons). That's not DayZ anymore. I really think that I will move on to other games and surely anyone who will ask me for an opinion on this game, I can not help but advise against it for all the reasons why I have already written several times... and not only me, on some "big flaws never solved".

DayZ "should not" be a pvp military shooter, but in fact it is more and more, precisely because of the programmers' choices. Why don't you dispute this when other characters argue that "DayZ is not a survival against the pandemic". And the advantage is precisely because is RARE! To balance an object, you either make it "more common" or you remove it completely. And keep in mind that while the NVG you also use it for fishing, hunting, building and looting... a Night Scope you ONLY use it for killing. What's worse in DayZ? see that night sights are much more common than the NVG, since they are located in the fixed gas areas and only count on the map: as soon as you take one, another one is born, endlessly The NVGs have just been moved to helicopter crashes, which are very rare (I have never found even one in + 900 hours on public servers) and they also count "in player": if there are 5 players with the NVG, on the server NOT even one will be born ... even if I find a helicopter crash. This is pure discrimination for a lucky few or the cheater/duper

To do better as a target? NVGs are the best defense systems against this and those who deny it, or despise it, perhaps it is precisely for this reason: they DO NOT want others to be able to defend themselves effectively. The usual murderous raiders. Or are they just jealous of the lucky few who found it. on this I agree On this absolutely not. Why, do automatic sniper weapons and night sights, on the other hand, feel up of place for DayZ? You are making a fool of me ? ☹️

The insult is the weapon of those who have no arguments to contest... 🤐

Lately, following the new (unfortunate) patch, I don't play as much anymore. I logged in today and, in the game from the Steam overlay it no longer loads any player name, it seems the server is always deserted. What is it, a new unfortunate setting of "paranoia" or "distorted vision" of the game ... because it's just a game ... a fucking game just for fun ... and you can also see it well from all "poetic licenses" that are taken with respect to what "should" be the reality of the context that the game purports to present. More and more disappointed and embittered... 😞

OK... After a while I tried another hive on another server and everything seems to work as before... maybe it was just a temporary flaw. You, however, always defend these "parasites" of the streammers and denigrate with haughtiness enough all those who do not see this game as you do, eh?!?

With this gas bombing bullshit have over win the players who use DayZ as another "stupid" classic war FPS... instead of what, as it was described, it was supposed to be... but it never became well: "survival from a pandemic". But to play a hypothetical World War 3 you couldn't make a mod for ArmA3, which is the right game for it? Why spoil DayZ like this? And what left me most disconcerted and embittered is seeing how many are enthusiastic about it and how many contest this bullshit. In the end, if this game is right for you as it is changed and managed ... then you really deserve it! I'm sorry because, despite the countless flaws and bullshit I liked it, but I don't like the direction it lost anymore. This is no longer a survival against a pandemic ... it has become a hodgepodge of bullshit, nonsense, a bit of survival from a hypothetical pandemic and a lot (too much) fighting an unequal war against a ghost army made up of almost everything and everyone (programmers including) who do everything, any bullshit and illogical nonsense, to make you impossible and annoying. What is the fun in all of this I just don't understand. With 1.15 what will we find? The armored vehicles commanded by an army of infected immortals ?!? Maybe they will add the "anti-tanks", but they will be rare, you will have to fight against 3 armored vehicles with only a knife and kill at least 20 super infected super equipped and they will only have 3 shots when, to destroy an armored vehicle it will take at least 5 (how long does a mask filter last inside an infested area ?). What kind of a game is this becoming ?!? And many will be happy because this "will add new challenges"... 😮 🤨 🤢 Because fishing, hunting and look for the materials to build a base (where to live comfortably, finally) in a city infected with zombies by killing them with an ax, it is too boring. 🙄 Maybe you are the ones who are in the wrong game... Perhaps it is your vision of the game that best suits an ArmA mod. And don't answer that DayZ "was born as a mod of ArmA", I know very well, but there are mods and mods. You have to choose a direction, an idea and follow it well. I don't know what the ArmA2 MOD wanted to be, nor what it really became... I just know that when I bought "DayZ SA" (DayZ Standalone! NOT the ArmA MOD!) It was advertised as "a sandbox where you have to survive in a world killed by a pandemic ", and when I started, despite the flaws and the bullshit it was pretty good too... but now the management seems to be in a game more and more of War... and more and more absurd and more and more" unbalanced "(when you allow only a very few" lucky ones "to have exclusive use of the best equipment, as cheaters and dupers were not enough), because this is if these weapons can only be found within these infected areas which, from what I read (also in the videos of those who are playing this 1.14), they are almost impossible to reach for all the rare and very weak equipment you must have and the "almost immortal guardians" that will magically appear with each GAS explosion... a sort of "invincible aliens" that "will rain from the sky as the GAS" to defend the upper booty. What kind of a game has this become?!? But do you really like this bullshit?!? I really don't know if I will play forward... I'm just sorry I tried it, because I will have a bitter taste in my mouth of a good game with so much "wasted" potential in inability to fix it and in bullshit to ruin it... This proves that you are incapable of creating a real survival game with any specific difficulties, not a war jumble with armies, weapons and bombings ... it's a whole other kind of game. That's why I love to go back to Battlefield, which in its genre (War) is much better done and is much more balanced, functional and fun. P.S. Don't make the apology for modded servers, which are often even worse for nonsense and bullshit...

The relevance of bombing to war games, and the substantial changes they can create to the game I have described several times... if my English is bad, I'm sorry, but I have to use Google. I really don't know what to do. But after repeating it several times in different ways, I get the impression that you DON'T WANT to understand... It is I who say "natural environment", because you listed the weather, the wolves and hunger ... Do not make me repeat the whole speech about the bombings again, I have already more than expressed it. I have the impression that you are taking advantage of the fact that I do not know English and I cannot understand if what I have written has been translated well or badly ... and you pretend not to understand, while in reality you have understood very well but you just try to justify this stupid choice.

I guess yours is just irony. In any case, I understand it and I also share it in part ... because an arc is actually part of a survival game, too bad that the lack of a simple arc is a small thing, while the addition of these areas, these bombings and all changing the spawn of main weapons and accessories is a huge thing, not just a little bow. Here they didn't lift a weapon, they completely upset the game turning it into a war game worse than it was before.

Not for FPS players, this is also a FPS game, for "War FPS players"... it's not the same. FPS = First Person Shooter All games where you impersonate a character in first person are FP (first person) and if you have a weapon and you can shoot it is also a "shooter"... it does not necessarily have to be of war, even a game where you can impersonate in first person a biathlon athlete is in fact a FPS. It doesn't have to be by force an "arena" where you have to shoot everything that moves. Not really. Weather, wolves and hunger are natural things... gas bombings are not... they are things of war and armies. It's a whole other thing. They could have add a separate area, like an old hidden military depot that, suddenly, due to neglect, explodes and plagues the area... and to interest the players they could add something interesting, but without taking anything away from the base game... With the bombings, not only does it imply the existence of an external army hostile to the area (because they don't try to contact/save the survivors) that you cannot fight because in fact it does not exist, but they have also plagued the whole game (search Reddit for map of areas subject to bombing) with a war bullshit that it doesn't have a shit to do with it with survival. Survival of the environment is one thing... fighting gas bombs and another. Moreover, if the anticipations are true, most of the good weapons... which also serve against bears which, I remember (I have not written anything about it yet), have been increased in resistance... as if they were "weak and sickly ", poor things... 🙄 And it also seems the NVGs, they are exclusive loot of fixed carbonated zones, which is not only used to kill the players at night, as all the "Rambo" of DayZ seem to be convinced, but for any normal activity, since at night (except the DayZ brightness bug that seems to hit some at random) even if you can barely move (not in HC, though) you can't do anything else. Now... if everything I've read and seen on YouTube is true (I also tried 1.14 for 20 hours, but too little to personally evaluate all the differences, I should at least read the game's XML to understand it better, but not I have them), if you don't go inside a carbonated zone you will NEVER find an AKM, an M4, a suppressor or an NVG... all things that are NOT needed only by the "Rambo" of the game... Try to defend yourself from a bear with a Mosin or a SK and make a video... now that they are even stronger. And even before that they took out the 20 magazines of the Saiga, and gave spawn only in helicopter accidents, which I have NEVER seen one with at least 1200 hours on public servers. Try shooting an AK or M4 without a suppressor and see how much crowd comes around you... not just the Zs, but also the "Rambo" on duty who hears you, follows you and kills you shortly after... Play at night without an NVG, even just for loot, fishing or hunting. Not to mention that you must also defend yourself from all the "Rambo", the marauders and various "Heads of D**k". This will help even more all the players who in DayZ are only looking for the war fight with the others... because it will force everyone to try the carbonated zones, with these new super-equipped and super-resistant Zs (another galactic bullshit), just for one decent weapon or for an NVG... and there will be the carnage of players inside (for the Super-Z) and outside for the snipers, marauders and, by now, all the others who are only looking for a decent weapon and an NVG, even if only for hunting and fishing. Great result: forcing everyone to war without quarter. But this wasn't supposed to be a War Game, ArmA is already there ... or isn't it?!? Is it still not clear what I stand for? P.S. It also applies to others, of course

Sorry for my bad English, but I don't know it and I have to use Google. Reread what I wrote at the beginning and quote me what you don't understand. I will try to explain it in another way, hoping that the Google translations do not distort too much the sense of what I am trying to say. 🙁

Are you also a relative of some programmer of the B.I. or a shareholder? 😮 I didn't understand what you mean by "lore" and "gameplay loop", but the fact that it's also an MMO doesn't necessarily imply this bullshit (which MMO is just a generic definition, a "label": always questionable). The fact remains that this game was written and sold as a "survival sandbox against the pandemic" and I bought it for this, not for anything else... and now (indeed for some time now) it is becoming more and more hybrid between the "Fantasy-Horror" and one "3° World War". It is NOT the pandemic and the infected that "are nonsense": this is the substance of the game... it is everything else that has been built around it that is a "are nonsense"!

Everyone happy with this? Anyone who thinks it's bullshit that makes the game unnecessarily mangy and annoying? Anyone who thinks that with the substance of the "survival of a world pandemic" game it does not matter ? No criticism? Dynamics too... 😮 Really missing no only light sabers and an alien spaceship that appears every now and then and kidnaps some players at random... 🤮

I saw a video of Wobo where he showed that the infected, in the carbonated zones, are much more aggressive and resistant and it seems that it is practically impossible to deal with them with sidearms because anyway you will receive damage to the anti-gas suit and you will die from the effect of this. The bullshit remains that these newly infected will rain down from the sky like the gas... they haven't been there before. We only need the 2-headed monster to complete the scheme and move on to the next scheme. It reminds me a lot of the arcade video games from the 70's-80's, the ones you can now play with the M.A.M.E.

I have now read in "DayZ fandom" that the M4, AKM, Suppressors, and other miscellaneous will be "exclusive" loot of these infected areas... and that should only be 2: The military base of Pavlovo and the stranded ship of the Rify. This is true ? Really those who do not enter an infected area will have to settle for at most an MP5 with a gun suppressor? Or is it just a wrong anticipation? P.S. If so, I can already see snipers with hunting weapons waiting for the "intrepid daredevils" as they leave the infected areas to steal their loot. What a shit game it risks becoming.

Perhaps because the majority of those who play DayZ are psychopaths, sociopaths, assassins and bandits missed in real life, and other people who believe that DayZ is a "weird" version of a FPS of War... as if it were still a variant of ArmA. And those who remain, given what they are around and since getting into a base is always too easy, avoid doing it. In any case, since these programmers go to great lengths to make this game the way it is, making it harder and harder to build bases while increasing the weapons in play (as if weapons are missing), there aren't many alternatives left... except to go to the modded servers, but there is another nice "madhouse" of various absurdities. In my opinion, the only way to try to make a base, as the game is right now, is in an almost deserted server, as cheaters, psychopaths and sociopaths look for the mass of players to be able to harass them... same thing the marauders and the "Rambo" from war FPS, look for the crowd to rob or kill... In an almost deserted server only those who want to do an "easy" loot enter, but generally then they leave, or who "seek tranquility"... hopefully ... if you hide well, perhaps, you have some chance. Even if it doesn't always work. I'm afraid "civilized people" are very rare in this game. I had a base on one of these servers which lasted for just over a month. I could not even complete all the small metal fence in the rear courtyard that someone entered and did not just steal what they needed... it just destroyed everything! He left me only the complete entrance door alone and some scattered bullshit which, evidently, she was unable to take away... 2 cars including, curtains and materials... she literally completely dismantled the entire fence. If it's not a sociopath's job, this. If I were in the government, I would give everyone who plays DayZ a psychiatric exam, I would definitely catch a lot of delinquents, sociopaths and psychopaths potentially dangerous in real life as well. But... Regardless of my opinions. If you've heard someone denigrate the basics and now complain that they can't stay in it, it's them you should answer, not me. If it's a problem with Google's poor translations, I'm sorry, but I don't know English and I have to use Google

I understand that my English is bad since I have to use Google, but ... yours is not an answer. Insult or, as you do, "denigrate" the interlocutor is the weapon of those who have no arguments to challenge. It is not the way to discuss regardless of the topic. 🤨

Sorry but I didn't understand a tube of what you wrote. Keep in mind that I don't know English and I have to use Google. "Balance The Loot" with infected areas? what does it mean ? The balancing you get by modifying the "types.xml" file not upset the game with bullshit. "High-level zones with military loot" is "End Game"? How "End Game".... there is no "End Game" until you die ... it's a pandemic survival game, and if you survive the game never ends, and the "real victory" to this game is just DON'T die and build an increasingly equipped base to experience more and more comfortably and calm... This is the real victory at this game. The end is only when you die or someone destroy your base and you have to start everything again. Then, after all you wrote I didn't understand anything. It's as if we were talking about 2 different games ...

I know it sounds silly to ask this after 2000 hours of play, but it has never really interested me until now and with google I found several different opinions, probably because they referred over time to different versions of the game... or also, quite simply, different opinions. However the question is this: In this version 1.13, the rainwater collected with a barrel left open can be direct drinking? That is, without having to use pills or boil it? Thanks

Yes, ok ... A virus of its kind doesn't make any sense, but being a video game you have to be "a little tolerant", but here we have been exaggerating too much for a long time. Otherwise, if everything becomes lawful just because "it's a video game", then I put back the "lightsabers", "the aliens who kidnap random players" and the "flying pink unicorns". The real skill in writing a video game is not only in the simple "writing without defects", but also in imagining it and making it fun but at the same time "possible for most" (perhaps with scalable difficulty so as not to bore anyone) and "plausible in the context of same". DayZ is a failed game in all contexts. Its only luck is that it still remains a lot of fun and exciting... and it seems to me that, at the moment, it is unrivaled in this field... but the constantly increasing "annoyance" of its countless bugs and its (equally) countless "nonsense" is increasingly increasing the "weight" in the balance of "negative evaluations". Sooner or later, with this bad habit, the time will come when the scales will hang on the side of "close the game" or "change the game". 😕
