I like those suggestions a lot, along with the suggestions by @Likvid-cb38db5edb1efdb0 DayZ has always had a lot of potential, I hope BI realizes that soon enough and gives DayZ more love.

15 gates takes like 90 grenades though.... that's not "nothing" 1 gate needs 6 grenades if wooden, 7 if metal. It takes 602 7.62x39s to take down the lower portion of one gate (wall and frame included, but lower portion) so you can crawl through. So in total it would take 36-48 grenades for 6-8 wooden gates or 3612-4816 7.62x39 rounds. FAAAAAAAR from too easy.

It's just a bad suggestion since it gives too much advantage (artificial advantage that doesn't reward gathering better materials) to base building folk. It shouldn't be a must have part of the game, and making base indestructible while somebody is offline would make hoarding an even worse issue. Now imagine on consoles, hoarding + duping + indestructible bases while they are offline... Again, people have already suggested more materials for bases, and I'm all for that, but indestructible bases sound like a bad idea. Metal gates should get a HP buff for the time being, since same amount grenades will destroy metal gate as wooden gates. I tried base raiding like handful of times, and I never managed to do it. I had like 6 grenades and 200 rounds of x39, but it's just not enough... Even 5 grenades and like almost 100 rounds of x39 wasn't enough for one wall, somehow. Bases aren't too weak. My suggestion if you can't defend your base is: make a stash, and make an empty base with opened door. that way people won't ever destroy your fence, and you will always have loot nearby, and you also have a kinda safezone inside your base. anyway, I'm a little tipsy right now, so if it doesn't make sense, i'm sorry.

shouldn't it be obvious why it's a bad suggestion?

Again... lol no.

lol no Bases are implemented for active players, if you aren't able to defend it all the time, then don't bother with bases. Simple as that. Make stashes or hidden small shelters in the woods.

Because it's such a massive change that isn't really refined yet, in my opinion (and people have to get used to it as well, so it will take some time). Sometimes I'm sneaking behind a zed, and it just does a 90 degree turn and notices me (wearing sneakers on grass, not crouch sprinting) Or I open a door and it alerts zeds around me, with no way to open them silently. And zombie heads taking less damage than they used to...

No... my point wasn't that cheaters are your fault. But having issue with everyone here on the forums IS your fault. You are expecting something from us that we can't do. Few people kindly asked for you to provide proof (of admins approving cheats), all there is to it. and this... if you have an issue with private servers, then this is not the place to talk about it. Contact admins/owners and talk it out with them, or just find a different server. We called you out on talking shit to admins, we didn't say that cheaters don't exist. I personally never had issues with these servers. I did however see a suspicious death on a stream from one streamer, and it was sorted out. No self respecting admin would allow cheaters on their server, provided that they know about them.

Well then... show us your original message and their response. I would love to see it. It sounds to me like you have an issue with admins primarily, and that's none of our concern here. We don't care about what some admin of some private server does. My guy.... didn't I say that there obviously are cheaters? go take a break, you seem pissed off for no reason at everyone here... what do you want us to do? We can't ban cheaters, we can't get you unbanned from discord... Private DayZ servers have nothing to do with DayZ forums, so go take your rant somewhere else. Sometimes if you ALWAYS have issues with something, it might not be other's fault... it might be your fault.

While there are cheaters, you need to take a chill pill and stop being a.... you know what. Even the best anticheat is easily avoidable if you know what triggers it to detect the cheats, literally EVERY FPS game has some form of aimbot or walls... And next time if you want to rant about cheaters, you better get some proof and contact server admins NICELY and NOT in their general discord chat or by complaining on DayZ forums.

I mean they don't change space size, it's just that they are configured in a way that doesn't let player to stash them if there is something in their inventory, thus they are "folded" and only take up 35 slots even if they can take 80. All it would need is a "if there are items, make it take up 80 slots".

I see what you are saying, but backpacks are already folded up when it comes to placing them in the car (when they are empty). Mountain backpack has 80 slots, but takes up 35. But you are saying that it would be nice if you could just stuff the 80 slot backpack in the trunk already filled up? I agree with that, but then it should take up 80 slots instead of 35.

He probably got sniped while drinking at a well and now is crying about cheaters on literally every server... (somehow every server has a cheater problem...) I literally have like 600 hours and only encountered 2 obvious cheats during the free weekend and 1 questionable death at around 250 hours, but that's it. Everything else was pretty legit.

so 5 years passed, and you only figured now to ask for a ban appeal... you should contact steam support.

Sometime this year, maybe... Time will tell.

Try playing in fullscreen mode, I noticed that borderless fullscreen makes anything above 50% a washed out mess. While it does happen in fullscreen mode too, it's much less drastic than borderless windowed.

Is Steam on the same drive as DayZ? If not, I suggest moving both to the same drive, ideally to an SSD. Edit: take a look at this, this might be the same issue: https://feedback.bistudio.com/T157656, specifically the last comment by user eas1ly.

TBH, tarkov-like system where you can choose like 10 steps of speed increments would be cool for going just the right walking speed. Fast/slow walking would be possible with that implementation. Player in image below is moving (jogging, just holding W) at approx 75-80% movement speed. You can slide that arrow up/down one by one, and each being slower and quieter or vice versa. (the dotted thingy just above the green line, left is very very slow, right is fast) But.... IDK how overcrowded the controls are on controllers, so this might be too much. Or at least holding a walk button WHILE crouching should be even slower and much quieter, good for sneaking up on people.

Oh god, I remember this, it was not fun at all, but current system looks dumb when somebody just sprints up a hill with no issues, needs to have some sliding down mechanics when it's too steep, and probably some more things. I agree with a lot of things you said and I too think there needs to be a stamina overhaul, ideally movement overhaul too (inertia, weight, running acceleration) Regarding jogging/sprinting using stamina, I would make jogging drain stamina only to a certain point, like 25% of your stamina, or less. Otherwise long distance travel would be a pain in the ass. So for example, you have 100% stamina, you start jogging, it's draining your stamina slowly and stops at 75%. Now you get additional gun sway, but your stamina won't drop more than that while jogging. It could have a linear scale where 100-0% stamina have 0 to X amount of additional sway depending on your missing stamina, so jogging only you would get to 75% stamina, which would give you some additional sway, but not too much (hold breath should still be as is, no additional sway). We should be able to sprint when we are out of stamina with severe gun sway and a longer stamina regen delay, and a slight reduction to movement speed since you are exhausted (kinda like stamina overuse, good for long distance travel, bad for gunfights), AND with body heat increase that causes more dehydration.

He said he is on Series X. PC has been very stable, but consoles... hopefully console players get some love soon.

I wouldn't mind a bigger (or the same/similar size of chernarus) map with different scenery (kinda desert vibes where heat and hydration are issue), but how capable would be DayZ servers to run Altis? it's bigger than Chernarus. Although, I wish they would show some more love to the existing maps. Seasonal textures would be cool, there are already Winter/snow modded variations of Chernarus and Livonia, and they are cool, but they obviously lack the polish that Dev team could produce. If seasons/snow ever gets added to Chernarus, during winter time they could ideally limit snow area to only northern parts/mountains just like on Namalsk.

I'm not 100% sure, but I think a screwdriver could disarm it. Do it at your own risk. But long sticks, shovels and brooms could also "disarm" it in a surprising way. Since 1.09 landmines last 7 days (IRL days). "Tweaked: Increased the lifetime of bear traps and landmines to 7 days" And also since 1.12 landmines are not always lethal to players(*). (*) According to some rumors, plates will tank a landmine and not cause you to die instantly, but you will have broken legs and very low HP.

BSODs can indicate hardware issues or some major software issues (like driver crashing), but usually it's down to hardware issues. Games usually just crash and you get booted to desktop. Check PC temps, disable ALL overclocking/reset BIOS to default settings and only change the necessary things like: boot drive, if needed. and what McWendy said, BSODs usually have a code something like 0x00037df or something_something_error_failure, google that too.

Yeah this is true but... that's why games have deadzone settings. Should be mandatory for a game on consoles to have basic controller settings like that.

I might be wrong, but proximity chat doesn't work while you are in a party (?, possibly a bug?). Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, I don't play on consoles.
