the server change wait timer on spawns make it really annoying to server hop to try to spawn in the same city as a friend on the coast, it might be a specific use case, but in the case where two players want to meet up but have logged off far from eachother, you used to be able to server hop and respawn on the coast in a random spot when you jumped back to the original server you were on. me and friends used this often as a way to pick a city and meet up quickly, now with timers as if im going to run a hour every time my buddy wants to play, especially when we only have a hour or two after work. in my opinion it only makes it hard and annoying for friends to play the game together. it worked fine before the 1 min countdown for switching servers. just another, baffling, small, punitive and time wasting decision that still makes me so mad to this day. this and so many other changes its death by a thousand cuts and the reason im not playing tonight. I loved this game more than anything else in the world, i hate coming here to only be negative, but i just wasted an hour jumping around and running to find out where i spawned and running again, in the end me and bro said f- this and quit to play some lame battlefield game. this game was so much better 2 years ago before I could get more chernogorsk city spawns and just meet my friends and start playing faster, it wasnt hurting anyone else or being abused really. why is every new change focused on hurting this meta. No i do not want to invest in crossing the entire map BEFORE meeting with bro, especially when were just in the mood to run around on the coast and act a fool.

i hated this silly shit anyway

two players should be able to pick up a boat and walk with it while attached to it, one player should be able to flip/ drag a boat waterways need to be adjusted or there really is no point adding more lag to servers for something so useless instead of atvs or bikes to help solo payers become mobile they added boats to go nowhere?? seems like a lazy and desperate way to pad out the lack of content addition in 1.26 to me...

oh and the marketing scheme of giving youtubers exclusive acsess was really sleazy of BI, and even sleazier is the fact that my any posts made on this account need to be approved by a moderator and so my posts are hidden for days before being approved is also very sleazy because i assume my account was red listed for being too negative, i also created an account just to voice my negative feedback way back when freshys all started spawning together, and i havent had anything positive to say about the updates since that point either.

I agree the game felt really good and lots of fun around 1.15 but everything after has just been a slow slide into boring busywork, as an offical player the game is very boring now. they stopped adding anything cool to the updates and just started making guns rarer and harder to maintain, killed pvp on offical and custom servers are too inconsistent for me to really get into. its really sad, I fell in love with this game in 2021 but the last few years of design choices sucked the fun out of the game for me. (spawn changes, weapons spawning damaged, food and water changes, inertia, carrying capacity, turning radius changes etc) ive pretty much just quit now and none of my friends play anymore either, i was the first in the friend group to find the game in 2020 and even bought my friends copys to support a game i loved. I feel super burned by the last year or two of updates, 1.26 and the boring new map has really made me lose hope altogether.

thats what ive heard. a guy in my clan insists being wet wears out shoes faster too

many posters here, and people who have been playing dayz much longer than me have been vehement about this update being good and right for dayz. I want to ask what about the changes are making you enjoy the game more? not in any smartass or bitter way, but im genuinely curious to hear what has been more fun about this compared to Dayz a year ago? some key points... most of all I want to know WHAT people like about the frequency of needing water and fires as it is right now.

i havent seen any way to break ice, the only safe water is springs and the only fishing is coastal the snow needs to chelating tabs to be safe to drink, chlorine tabs are only useful if you find a half full bottle spawn and let it defrost.

I ONLY CARE ABOUT THE CHANGES TO VITALS ITS SO F-ING BORING RIDING THE SAKHAL COAST LOOKING FOR THESE SPRINGS

streaming is the lowest form of entertainment and i agree that streamers are parasites. I especially hate streamers after the massive insider access shill campaign by all major dayz streamers who totally sold us out and not a single one had any critiques of the new changes. but i also think if you say anything on the internet in a public place that there should be no expectation of privacy, just like in public irl

hey ive played this update for 2 weeks and never finished a session like wow that was awesome and crazy so much happened the new meta is nothing happens, and when pvp does happen you just catch someone by accident, theres no more territorial battles or raiders looking for pvp. im slowly weening myself off this game. now i just come home and kind of sit on my phone. i tried custom servers but they're all too boosted, weird rules etc

ten years later and it would still be so fucking cool to see this imagine shooting inside means getting instant ringing and outside you get a few more shots before ringing comes on for a few secs

its underwhelming forsure but i think the map itself is super interesting to explore. i just wish the busywork wasnt so fucked so wed have time for some pvp

as for the water system i cant even picture why anyone would prefer food not giving water. its not realistic to die from dehydration in like 3 hours game time i just cant empathize with or understand the design choice, let alone why a player would prefer it. it turned the vital meters into such a short timer, when i picture the game in my head i just picture running from fountain to fountain, and not doing anything else, i just have that picture in my mind of my experiences so far and now i cant be stand to play the game all together. its not fun to feel this 10 minute timer breathing down my neck. and the heavy metal poisoning is the biggest cop out ever. the way to have a winter map without the players having unlimited water is to make eating snow lower the players health/ temp so fast it would have to be in emergency's only to resort to it. not this super niche disease, it just breaks immersion, its snowing ALL the time and the snow is coming off the ocean, your telling me the snow is instantly contaminated from the moment it touches the ground? no fresh layer of snow? wheres the poison coming from? the factory thats been unmanned as long as we've been on this island? im pretty sure namalsk just had eating snow freeze your player so much it was only useful for a few handfuls before you had to stop warm up etc. so who wants to step up and tell me why theyve had more fun with the new water system... i know dayz isnt supposed to be fun in the sun, but if the whole game was a water quest nobody would play it. im more here for the online elements than the survival ones. id never play this janky old mess if it was single player only survival game.

from my perspective I think the inventory changes are just annoying, I always traveled light but it never bothered me to see players with a full inventory. I didnt think of it as unfair because of the trade off being stamina and mobility. heavy players were easy to catch up and even easier to kill because of the lack of stamina, my advantage was having a full stamina bar and trading off for light resources, it felt really fair and like two distinct playstyles. i always kept a full stamina bar, never wore a bag or vest, so my playstyle is alot harder now without the extra carrying space. now the heavy guys arent happy carrying less, and im not happy having to wear bags and vests to carry more (because they add to/ slow down your turning radius and noise made), so... whos happy with it?? other than the type of person who thinks players were "spoiled" or "unrealistic" with the old system, who is this for? how does the change even affect gameplay? thats why the change just seems arbitrary and punitive to me.

i keep trying sakhal but can only stand to play for a hour or so, backtracking for water and carrying multiple bottles. constant fires, its just boring. im just running from fountain to fountain instead of actually exploring the change in server names was annoying too cause they used to be batched by region, now they aren't. a mild annoyance but it just seems like a theres no common sense at behomiea anymore, like thats such a small QOL improvement... how dead at the wheel are they, that something so small but annoying changes? like does nobody working there PLAY the game? i don't think so, not like us. they need based and grounded playtesters. and they need to stop taking advice from youtubers and redditors just no common sense anymore, every change lately has been frustrating not challenging, engaging or fun.

nonetheless starving to death within one day ( 4hours is ridiculous)

i think hes rightfully passionate exactly because of the point that he made a whole ass career around this game furthermore i think a lot of mouthbreathers are cheering on the changes, its the people with 1000s of hours that have started to critique the game publicly to counter the massive tidal wave of toxic positivity and hype that has generated around this game and been drummed up by other youtubers hoping to keep the dayz gravy train running

having fires/ visiting a well every ten minutes sucks

playing on vanilla custom server, not fun at all. super loud asmr mouth sounds are fucking the most retarded dogshit ever added to this game is all i hear because there is no water in food, eating a juicy human steak doesnt make it go up at all. sakhal seems cool but i cant fucking explore it cause the water meter is so short it just feels like a constant timer. its a total nag and its not fun to watch it so closely all the time. sakhal runs like total dogshit on xbox series s, the dense as fuck grass for no reason is turned to max setting but only loads 30 feet in front of you, so your staring at the super low poly snow everywhere. the loot may have been adjusted for the custom server but i can tell you that anything other than high insulation and you will need a fire or torch every ten minutes, which adds to the annoying timer feeling i mentioned about the water problem. so if coastal loot is anything other than high insulation your gonna be shit out of luck. as for the new map the snow on the ground being contained to higher elevations makes it feel kind of like a minecraft biome, it feels like small zones of winter and not an honest winter map. dayz needs more urban assets and this feels like alot more of the same pine tree wilderness and brown tundra that cherno already has. namalsk had cool apartment block cities that felt chaotic and violent, escaping to the wilderness with enough gear felt like being the one sperm to get away. sakhal feels more like your stuck to the coast longer and its super boring. so far im having a really bad first impression and im left with the same feeling the experimental build gave me. that being that im not going to like the direction the development is taking. it feels like artificial difficulty and tedium. Im feeling really forced into a repetitive and cyclical meta playstyle that revolves way too much around vitals and that sucks.

now that we can play theres not enough sakal servers on xbox every server is cued
