    PC Server Reassignment on September 2nd

    Can somebody please explain this in other words than the ones used before? Because I don't understand. I have a stash and a character on 2-1. Public 2-1, that is. So, what exactly changed? What became of my character? Where is that stash now? What is the servers name and address now? And why is there still a DE 2-1 available that is 0.62?! I can't find any other, and obviously, I cannot connect to that one. No one can! Zero players as a result.

    Extreme Noobish Question is Extemely Noobish

    I've been Googling for the better part of an hour. I've looked at WIKIs. I've watched tutorials. I've looked at so-called SETUP helps. Can you believe it -- I cannot for the love of god -- find the spot where it tells me WHERE the actual Buldozer is. "Requirements: DayZ Tools / Buldozer". That's not helpful at all. A link to a download, maybe? Something? Anything? 🙂 Please? Thanks so much for the private message --. It's on Steam and called DayZ Tools. Dun dun duuun. 😉 Much love!

    Server hopping suggestion

    I cannot overstate how much I think this is overshooting. ImpulZ, I've opened a ticket at the feedback tracker a while ago. So I don't spam or repeat everything all over again, can I ask -- would you please take a look. The changes made -- I believe they hurt the game especially for beginners, newer or more casual players, but this also a completely unnecessary annoyance for anyone who simply wants to enjoy hive play. Not to abuse it. There should really be other ways to deal with this. At the very, very least, I would like to be able to at least ONCE a day, jump on a different server without losing all the progress I've traveled. https://feedback.bistudio.com/T141513

    Where are all the Official servers Gone?

    The ones that are down are/were hosted by Gameservers.com.

    Where are all the Official servers Gone?

    It should be over 100. Basically half of them are missing. And it's those we are talking about.

    Where are all the Official servers Gone?

    It's been over 12 hours now. Where are these servers? They're "official" -- these should be updated priority one. Not ideally - that's standard practice. They never took this long to come back.

    PLEASE reverse the NEW "Client Side Personal Night Light"

    I agree. This effect is best set to be very, very subtle, because we're not cats. And it robs the game of some of it's best atmosphere (indoors), at night.

    Status Report - January 2019

    I know there might only be little to report on, on a biweekly update, but I would gladly opt-in for something like the old Status-report. Call it a lifeline, if you will. People need their Pings and your Pongs. Furthermore, I'm very glad you are eager to fix bugs. However, it would be *really* cool if you were able to bring in elementary necessities more rapidly. A simple bicycle will go a long way.

    Two BSOD's

    I've had a number of BSODs as well. Not every one of these was obviously about BattlEye, but since this is a KNOWN issue, they all must be, even if it says PAGE FAULT or something about IRQ. I also did get one about a BattlEye DLL file. Not a very STABLE game for us, is it. It apparantly broke some PCs already. This has been going on for over a week now, and I'm getting worried that Bohemia/BattlEye aren't taking it seriously enough.
  10. I click on servers with that cute SUN icon, right? I connect. And it's night. And it's raining. What is UP with this weather system? Then I start server hopping. Frantically. Temperature is blinking RED already. Sometimes it's day, sometimes it's night. But yeah. It's always raining. If at least this raincoat wasn't utterly useless. Rant over. I mean, I'm counting servers here. FOURTEEN servers. Raining.
  11. Hoping that my thoughts are not entirely offline in this section of the Forum. I'm talking servers, and I do need to vent. And more importantly ask for advice. Hoping some of you understand why I feel troubled about this. Over the past few years, my friends and I have always chosen busy servers to play on. We're in Europe, so we typically pick German and UK servers. Both the Community and the Official HIVE servers, to be more precise. In the past few months we've run into a problem. We've started playing Experimental only, because the .62 servers are seeing a bit of a player drought, understandably. I'll be quick: Every single Tuesday, at 20 CET, we play. A lot on the UK ones these months. I do play a lot more than just that, and most of us not only just once in a week, but that day, that time? That's the one we picked because every single one of us can usually make it. Now in the past, we've enjoyed days, nights, weather and sunny times. Until a few months ago that is. When it started to rain. All day. All night. So it seems. CERTAINLY every Tuesday at 20 CET. And on ALL the servers of the hive! They're all in perfect sync with the night time, and it's like we've bouncing from server to server to not have it rain for a few minutes. And we're tired of it. So damn tired of it. Give us a break, please? Some of us are still trying to get the hang of this new version with it's changed controls; and some players have dark screens that even enhance the blackness in contrast, sitting in a well lit room, because they are not "hard core". And every Tuesday it's the same: it's dark. Foggy. And raining. God dammit, I wish I could say I've seen it happen even just once that this pattern is broken. Just for ONE damn time! For petes sake, what is up with this? Who operates these? Who decides it's a good idea to not have the time be random across hive servers anymore? Or let it rain buckets every day? I'm not expecting anything outrageous, but I'd like to see the SUN *sometimes* on Tuesday! Or walk without the constant torture of hearing the rain for hours. I hate this! Everyone in the group is getting increasingly annoyed. And I have NOTHING I could say to reassure them.

    Better HUDless mode

    For what they're worth, I miss the old text messages in the lower left a lot. They made a mostly HUDless DayZ experience possible in the first place. That, combined with only seeing all your stats when you open the inventory. Now this could be instead bound to show up with the hotkey bar instead, because that can be enabled or disabled while running, so you can check your health while on the go. It's not that I don't like these status icons, but they're either always there, or always hidden. And just having text in the bottom corner of the screen makes it so much more natural. When I feel sick, "a rumble in my bowels" just sounds a lot more convincing than, say, a blinking tummy.
  13. Only unconscious players? I think you should be able to drag anyone who is either dead, uncon, or tied up.

    PLEASE -don't- change the new reloading mechanics!

    You know what, I'm good with the system too, but it would be a nice idea to now have 2 hands, not just one rectangle for hand/s. This way it'll feel more natural to have a mag in one and bullets in the other. I'll all for having these mechanics, but improving them would be nice. For example, please don't force players to keep holding down keys, but give them a start click and abort click. Or come up with another way. Started a thread about that, too. It's a lot of extra strain for some players, and with age, you'll find this kind of thing increasingly more and more uncomfortable.

    Holding mouse buttons and carpal tunnels ...

    Then this option wouldn't be your pick, I suppose. However, this is something that's probably different for most people. To varying degrees. It puts strain on my wrist, tendons, and I've been "playing healthy" for a good while now, as I'm 42 years old, now. Also, I've had a number of conversations about this with streamers and audiences, and am not the only one to see this is a long term problem, if no other options are present. Trust me please, I know the basics of how to treat my body, how to sit, what chair, keyboard and mouse are the most ergonomic and align with my personal preference. Having this option would really help. I hope a lot of people, even when they're not personally affected in the least, would be supportive. Thanks so much, but I understand your reservations, too! Also, hope your carpal is kept in check, and that you can play as you please! <3
