    Sniping in dayz is too easy

    Oh yeah that definitely needs to be a thing. Scopes shouldn't use 2D overlays anymore, so damaged 3D models should become a thing.

    Sniping in dayz is too easy

    Wouldn't make it harder I think. So let me get this straight, you want 2D (overlay) scopes to be like PU scope, PSO scope, and ACOG (3D models)? Because yes, that would be a nice visual change. I agree with that suggestion. But if you are asking for legit Picture in Picture rendering method - where outside of the scope isn't zoomed, but inside is a new rendered zoomed in image, then that's gonna be rough to run (low framerate when zooming).

    And how would you make sniping harder, or how would you nerf scopes? I personally think it's fine.

    New setting or temporary defect?

    Probably done to stop stream sniping and stalking in general. Good change for streamers and stops the meta a bit.

    1 Character for every SERVER

    Official servers share characters. From my knowledge 1PP servers have one hive, and 3PP have another (So 1PP character can't go on 3PP server, and vice versa). You can't have multiple characters from what I know. Community servers usually have 1 character per server (so no sharing). Edit: Best 2 things you can do are: (free) play on a community vanilla server to have a new character there (and one on official), (costs money) or buy a second copy of the game (also you would need another steam account).

    How to raid?

    Not here to argue, just stating facts and answering to the OP.

    How to raid?

    Anything that deals damage can be used. Be that melee attacks with tools, or by shooting the walls or dropping grenades.

    new small Hospital on the West Coast ?

    Chernogorsk has a hospital and a store that can spawn medical stuff inside and in the nearby places, but yeah, most of the time hospitals are empty. I agree, maybe the prison island should have a field hospital, and stuff like that, just to make it seem like there USED to be survivors there before the evacuation/death. For me personally the prison island seems like a waste of time, instead of going there, one could go to Zelenogorsk and have higher and better loot chances, so why not put a field hospital on prison island?

    I do not look good

    No, don't kill your character. It's just during the halloween event, should be gone when it ends.

    is favoring of donors ethic ?

    You are talking about this like it's some gamebreaking exploit that is 1000% Pay2Win and makes you kill everyone on the server instantly while giving you god mode... If you abuse server restart queue to kill anyone while they are logging in (you join first), with or without Priority queue, you aren't being a fair player. Not that it's bannable, just not 100% fair, and there's nothing much you can do about it, since it's just how the game works. Server restarts, you get put into the queue, you may be first, or last, or in the middle... The solution to this is really simple... Just avoid server restarts all together, don't engage in PVP during those moments, don't log back in immediately if you have a bad queue number. Point of Priority queue is not to get you sooner into PVP to kill someone while he's waiting for his loading bar to fill up, it's made primarily for those who... Don't want to wait, like streamers for instance. Who enjoys watching a 15-20 minute silent loading screen stream? If you can provide better monetization methods, I'm sure BI and server owners would love to hear about it, but for now... chillax a bit. EDIT: So if you take worst case scenarios to remove certain features, then you probably also don't want admin tools? Cuz there IS a possibility that certain shady admin is using it to see through walls and use cheats, right? So let's remove handy admin tools that are used to track down and ban cheaters and stream snipers and griefers /s

    Console Update 1.14

    Most probably yes. That kinda stuff was in 1.12 or 1.13 experimental I think. It should come both on PC and consoles.

    is favoring of donors ethic ?

    Supporting servers without direct PVP/gameplay advantages... It exists because it's the fairest way to monetize and get some money/support by your players (other than straight up donations).

    My opinion on DayZ gamebalance

    Still the worst change in 2021 if you ask me, it was perfectly fine how it was before.

    Meh... trash server. Best advice? Find a new server.
  15. DefectiveWater

    is favoring of donors ethic ?

    So players that pay for servers get special bonuses? That's kinda lame if you ask me... Everyone should have the same opportunity in DayZ. IF you ask me, that server is trash.

    Dayz Game Question

    Probably in like few weeks during halloween.

    Show the evidence for that. Otherwise you are talking BS. You seem so salty and persistent.

    The haze. WTF is with this persistent haze?

    I don't know... try resetting your settings fully be deleting graphic config file, something might be borked. Also, check your display settings in your GPU settings, something might be wrong there. Edit: Here's the path to the configs, C:\Users\*username*\Documents\DayZ Backup and delete DayZ.cfg and *username*_settings.DayZProfile, and try running the game with both of those 2 deleted. Game will automatically remake them, but your settings will be reset. Edit 2: My gamma value in _settings.DayZProfile is "gamma=1;", which should be default value.

    The haze. WTF is with this persistent haze?

    Reduce your brightness to 50% (not 55%) or switch the game to Fullscreen mode, it does that when it's in Windowed mode (Windowed fullscreen that is) + boosted gamma over default value.

    The Awesome Vehicle Thread

    So you want bikes to be added so they can be "broken, buggy deathtraps" (you said it yourself) Maybe bikes were/are planned once cars are sorted, there's no reasons NOT to add them I don't think anyone is defending this... why do people act like people are defending it? Majority of people are just sh*tposting about cars, and a minority of people is just explaining how you can minimize that issue.

    Toxic Zones shouldn't kill you so quickly.

    They don't spawn NBC infected anymore. The only place that spawns NBC infected might be the static zones, that's it. Although, medical places and such CAN occasionally spawn NBC infected, but that's with and WITHOUT the dynamic zone.
  23. My best recommendation is to try out other maps, there's several modded maps that are quite popular: Esseker, Namalsk, Takistan, Deer Isle... I've recently tried out Namalsk (yes... I didn't play it until now...) and it's an amazing map (although I played it with a friend so there's that). There's also few community servers which aim for SOME roleplaying, but don't enforce it, not sure which ones tho but I do know they exist. Maybe your best choice is to take a break from the game for a bit, and wait for the next patch to spice it up a bit.

    Removal of gamer tags on PS

    It’s a requirement by Sony which is why it only exists on the PS4 version.

    SOMEBODY, Please HAALP

    I found this online... you probably (hopefully) tried it already... "My fix was unfortunately super simple. Once you turn the game on go to the battle eye option, check the box that says you agree to the rules. Then there is a confirm or agree button at the very bottom of the box that pops up. I had to click and drag the box up so I could see it. But yes that was my fix. Very simple and made me feel real dumb lol." - source: https://www.reddit.com/r/dayz/comments/o92206/warning_0x000400f0_kicked_off_the_game_battleeye/ It's this thingy in your launcher thingy: But yeah... hopefully you already DID try it, good luck.
