As in the title: are the sea tides still there? It seems like bullshit, but if you try to create a warehouse with a barrel on the seashore, the tides are important. If you place it too close, at low tide it risks being discovered and visible from afar. If you place it too far away, at high tide you risk no longer being able to access the barrel and its warehouse. To place it "correctly" you must know the tide level at the time you place it. I made references using the "DayZ Community Offline Mode" mod, changing the day of the year and seeing how the sea level rose (or fell) at a reference point that interested me. I tried now, but the sea level no longer changes. Is it a defect of the mod or are the tides no longer working? I read that they have been modified, but I did not understand how. Does anyone know anything about it? Thanks.

And think that you can't even transport anything, nor work or cook inside, since you can't put anything on the bottom of the boat. Too bad, it travels much better than vehicles, but with these characteristics it is almost useless. And I bet it's not a bug but they did it on purpose. 😕

Well, that the infected are able to hit you on the roof of a car, it seems fair and even little to me. I would like to see them be able to hit beyond the windows (instead of remaining still like smoked cod) and go back to killing the players. For the rest I do not argue.

I do NOT agree. I am (after DayZ much less) a Battlefield player, I have all the titles (except BFVietnam and BF2042) One of the best features of the "old" BF was the ability to wander around the map as a ghost. You don't know how many ghitchers I've screenshotted and reported with that system. Now... I understand (and I'm the first to say it) that given the particularity of the game it is not possible to implement this feature for all players, but at least the video of who killed you and "how" they killed you would help everyone enormously. And the names should not remain "hidden" (it almost seems done on purpose to "protect" those who cheat). I understand the particular "atmosphere" of the game, but the plague of cheats is much more serious than some "emotional" characteristics of the game: players should always be recognizable in all aspects of the game. And don't talk to me about "privacy", when nothing is done against streamers who use unaware players to make money! (this, for me, is another "plague" of all games... at the moment) And given the particularity of the game, it would be necessary for the company to keep a pool of people dedicated to personally verifying player reports, and also to personally follow (in "hidden flight": I had a modded server, I know how the tools for administrators work) the most reported players. I know that this, by itself, would not completely clean up the game, but it would already be a good start... a demonstration of good will by the company, and a bit of "psychological terrorism" on those who intend to use cheats... always feeling "potentially spied on" would be a good deterrent. And don't tell me that "it's not possible" to do it... technically you just need to "want it". But "maybe" this is exactly what is missing: the real will to seriously fight dishonest players. They "rest" on the rhetoric (partly, unfortunately, true) that "all games are full of cheats" ... they "delegate" the problem to a third-party company (whatever it is, whatever it does, the important thing is to be able to demonstrate that they "did something"), like many other companies ... and the rest (the plague of scams) is "a problem addressed" (and off the "check" in the list of things to do. For me this is NOT "doing everything possible". And don't talk to me about "costs". In a video game, a "serious battle against cheats" is a must ... more than new hats, new weapons and new maps ...even more so in one like DayZ where, as has rightly been pointed out, a kill has a much more "serious" impact than in many other "classic FPS", where your equipment acquired with progress is found at every rebirth: with DayZ you start from scratch every time. But I think we all know this well, at least those who follow this forum obviously.

As far as I know there is no active admin on the official servers. You can open a ticket explaining the problem on the B.I. feedback site, but if they haven't been able to do anything so far... I don't know... try. You can try with some community servers, but original Vanilla ones are rare and often poorly managed. Modded servers are many but, too often, mods are used only to distort the game even more. It all depends on what you're looking for, but I think that on the official servers there is nothing to do against scammers, as things stand now... ¯\_(^~^)_/ ¯

Try some modded servers. If they don't overdo the mods and bullshit, they are much better than the official servers. ¯\_(^~^)_/ ¯

Yeah... It would be nice if they modified that little stream to make it navigable with a dinghy... but I think it's useless on the official servers, you'd just be too easy a target. Already in Livonia,where the river is quite wide, with a dinghy you're a pretty easy target. Another almost useless novelty, since you can't transport anything (I think it's done on purpose, just for a change).

Sorry if I go OT: Have you set, in "serverDZ.cfg" "multithreadReplication=1" and in "dayzsetting.xml" the number of cores of your CPU? I imagine so... Question: How many cores does the DayZ server use? In any case only 1 or more than one? And if I may still: Do you see your server in the community server list? And if you search for it with Battlemetrics do you find it? If so: which ports have you opened exactly? I tried several that I found online, but I never managed to make it show "normally", only access via direct IP... 😞 Sorry again for these OT questions. 😓 I hope you find the solution to your problem... 🙏

So a map mainly oriented to PvP. Or rely on the modified community servers. If they had made it "neutral", with both possibilities, in my opinion... even if PvE players are in the minority... it would have been better. And I bet that the impossibility of bringing any object to the bottom of the dinghy was done on purpose... As soon as I have some time I will open a ticket on Feedback B.I. but I bet I will guess the answer, knowing them for a few years... 😕

😊 Personal opinion more than legitimate... but I don't agree it, and I also consider it substantially wrong when a "single" (without any other modifications in the background) reduction of slots is defined as "realistic". It is not realistic to carry an SKS with a bayonet hidden in a backpack, but it is NOT realistic to reduce the space of the backpack for this... because then, the reduction, is also reflected on everything else. In a game where everything is consumed as if it were butter and the doll eats as if it had a tapeworm in its stomach (just to name some of the worst unrealistic absurdities). And in any case it is a video game, and the programmers "do not want" to make it "realistic" (I can cite where it was stated, if necessary). It will NEVER be realistic... let's hope that it becomes at least "playable" without adding or worsening the absurdities that are already too present. To simplify: If you tell me that you appreciate this change because it makes the game more difficult: I can understand it even if I don't agree with it. If you tell me that you appreciate this change because it makes the game more "realistic": I DON'T understand it and I don't agree it! 😧 Anyway, have a nice day... 😉 🙂

Go further and ruin the game even more? Don't you think they've done enough so far (I don't want to make a long list of absurdities and unrealisticities of the game)... since so many approve in the name of "realism". Let's be a little objective, come on... 🙁

I saw on the "iZurvive" map, that the springs are only in the "Tier 1 & 2" part of the map... and only in the main part. No "islands". Does it rain sometimes or just snow? Can you get rainwater with a barrel like the other maps? Maybe by collecting snow that falls from the sky before it settles on the ground?

And anyway.... regardless... there's no need to be rude. 🤨

That is, do the experimental servers never close? Do they stay open with the latest experimental version until the next experimental version? And what does the B.I. keep those servers active for, since they are no longer needed? In all these years of DayZ and searching for the least populated servers with Battlemetrics, I had never found any (experimental servers) after the release of the stable version... this time, that I found some, I thought it was an anomaly, also considering the many problems with several servers that lasted for several days... And what is the point of continuing to play an imprecise and defective version when there is an "improved" one (even if it always has other defects, unfortunately... with DayZ it's a never-ending story)?!? Because you will always have only the latest experimental version tested, not the one you prefer, I guess... I mean, you can't choose to play the experimental version 1.07... or 0.70 (if one existed)... 😐

And how do you get a client with the version of DayZ you want, since Steam practically forces you to update to the latest version? 🤔

We also need to make a distinction: on "normal" servers, NVG is practically useless, the night is so bright. On "HC" servers, without NVG, you can't see anything (and personal light is incredibly annoying) and even when there is a Moon and the sky is clear, everything is always "artificially black". In my opinion, the brightness in DayZ should be completely revised, but I fear that it is impossible since it has been bugged for a long, long time... maybe they are not capable of fixing it or it is the game engine that cannot handle it decently. The right thing to do would be that on ALL servers, when there is a clear sky and a full Moon, the brightness should be like it is now on "normal" servers, and when there are clouds and no Moon, the brightness should be like it is now on "HC" servers. With all the variations in the intermediate situations: If the sky is clear but there is NO Moon, it should be dark, but you should see the stars. If there is a Moon, but the sky is cloudy, there should be a diffused brightness depending on how the clouds move. In my opinion this would be really important... everything else is "trifles" from a video game, unfortunately, too arcade and also poorly managed (some absurdities are deliberate choices, not defects)... ¯\_(^~^)_/ ¯

The fact that it is "open to the public" does not mean that anyone can do what they want, especially with other people. The character of the game is not a completely "virtual" thing... the image is, but the behavior and words are my personal ones... and no one has the right to use them for their own commercial purposes. Because this is the cowardice, they do not film for themselves, or to remember personal moments (I would have nothing against it), but they film to use this content, impossible without "using" other people, to make money on it without the specific consent of the "used". It is pure exploitation. Only that it is committed in a "world" still not well understood by the institutions, in continuous evolution and, substantially, always a "wild west", especially on the novelty and certain "social" practically unknown to the "politicians of the moment" who are the ones who should legislate to "fix" society. Exactly... this is the cowardice and exploitation that should be directly prohibited by the institutions of the various countries... This is something that is already prohibited in many countries, only that online it is difficult to prove and contest it. We would need special laws and "special means" to fight it.

First of all, I don't usually use the experimental branch... I've only used it on some very exceptional occasions... but from what I understand (but I could be wrong), the experimental branches are opened when a new patch is coming to use players as "testers". When it is adopted in the "stable" branch, generally also a fixed and improved version, the "old version" and the experimental servers are closed. But I repeat that it is my belief not verified in reality because I have been interested in the experimental branches very few times and, as soon as the "stable" version arrived, I always returned to my old usual servers, completely forgetting about the "experimental" version. If anyone has a different version, I would be curious to know it too... Even if I read that, somehow, you could still play the old versions of the game, and I found some servers that ran (and were even populated), the old "experimental" versions of the game. How it is possible to enter them I don't know. I also asked in this forum, but no one has answered me yet. ¯\_(^~^)_/ ¯

Q.E.D. 😐

Is it just me or are all official servers offline? With both the game launcher and DZSA, I have all official servers offline... 😯

Ok, thanks. Could I know what kind of problems are we talking about? Because a server (in the software sense of the term) can simply be reinstalled from scratch and it is perfectly the same (and functional) as all the others. The "hive" can be saved first and put back later, if it has not been corrupted, obviously. From what I have read, there are software that allow you to read and modify the "hive", but I have no direct experience in this and I would not expect a job of this type... long and precise. If it is a hardware problem, do you intend to open other servers to replace the closed ones or not? Just to know. Thanks for any answers. 🙏

You are a great master of rhetoric, of chatter... of "blah, blah, blah", but you are no better than many others. You always bring the examples that are most convenient for you, leaving out (intentionally, in my opinion) all the others. You make walls of text and expect to be refuted line by line as (sometimes [tactic?]) you do... but: *) Not everyone has the time (to waste) that you have ... *) Not everyone is an English speaker (do you know the translations that Google does?!?) You are very skilled, with chatter, to make others feel like idiots and/or dishonest anyway... sometimes a (nice) "insult", clear and direct... is simply... "more sincere". And I won't continue to say what I think of your way of writing, I've already received warnings and I don't want to have any more problems for people like you. You do NOT "win" if other people don't want/have time to challenge ALL what you say... "you fail"... if you are here to find a dialogue with people. If you are here to fill the forum with rhetoric... to "water down" all the "critical opinions of DayZ" with rivers of words... to "turn the tables" on those who think differently but don't speak English well and have difficulty answering you adequately... well... in this case "You Won". You should do a lawyer... or a writer/screenwriter... you seem suited to this. 😉 😘 🤔

@merropa93 Are there plans to shut down some servers, since 2 of the ones I was watching (I was playing on one) are still offline after more than 5 hours?

More than 5 hours later and I'm still offline ?!? It seems a bit more than a "short maintenance" to me... 😯
